Prologue

A lot has changed in Balamb Garden from the past…Squall still is the commander of all SeeD Operations yet still also resents the fact he was forced in to it at first. He also still acts like the world owes him an apology for the abandonment what caused him to go through the trauma of his childhood depression. Squall had also learnt of who his father was (What had got him even more angry because he made no time to contact Squall in anyway) Mister Laguna Loire himself.

Sorceress Rinoa had become a SeeD shortly after she moved in to Balamb Garden shortly after the end of their adventure. Mainly because Squall couldn't live with out her…but also for the reason that her father had suffered a fatal car accident what still hasn't been resolved. This had left her heartbroken but also now feeling the pain of loosing someone she could relate to Squall better…making their bond stronger than ever.

Irvine is still lingering around with the rest of the group; he's not a SeeD yet he still goes on missions to help as if he resents SeeD, like others did. Lately he hasn't been seeing eye to eye with his girlfriend Selphie…yet no one ever knew if they were together or not because it was as if Selphie didn't like it around Irvine after the end of the war…things had changed between them along with rumours spreading about them made it worse for her…

Selphie was still the same…no matter what happened to her she still had the heart to continue with life like nothing had happened before or after the war…She had been sleeping a lot more lately along with being somewhat more giggly when she was even on her own, like her thoughts seemed to stimulate her to look up for hope…False hope? Maybe…but hope was hope one way or another.

Seifer was alone…he now felt what Squall had felt for most of his life. The paranoia…being alone and of course the pain staking thoughts of life. He needed to be home…he needed his friends…even though he hated to admit it he needed the group…even Rajin and Fujin had managed to pass in their classes leaving them not wanting to be SeeD's rather to be more potential staff members of the newly detained 'Disciplinary Room'. Seifer had randomly turned up managing to Infiltrate his way in to the garden along to Cid, thus causing a ruckus, when everyone wondered why Cid was shouting in his room that one time…After a couple of hours of arguing Cid managed to give in to Seifer understanding his meaning and letting him back in to the garden. He also had the balls to amend his friendship with his former girlfriend Rinoa…yet still being the same fool he always was. Moving on as he came in he found that one person was happy enough to see him. His most beloved Ex-Instructor…Quistis.

Quistis had suffered the most change. She wasn't as uptight nor as annoying to some of them…she was more chilled out and laid back. Did she want to be liked? Who knew? Why did she do it? Who cares? Everyone had started to like her…especially Squall. He had managed to slightly break free from his 'I'm all alone, there's no one here besides me' Factor and start to enjoy life…being nicer to people really did help him…well slightly he was still somewhat malice…a lot of the times.

Zell is still the same. No doubting the hyperness is still living in him. Lately he's been having girl problems, it seemed like he was the only one with out a girlfriend…he wanted one so he could actually see what the big fuss was about. Along with showing everyone he wasn't gay…or a chicken-wuss.

The Garden it's self had managed to fix out the problems it had before and now become stationary back in to Balamb. It seemed like Squall had made the choice from the amount of missions they were being handed out. The garden was basically being used to distinguish small outer missions what involved nothing what could challenge SeeD's potential. So becoming a private and more willing service SeeD had become a real large name in the world. Since they were racking up more SeeD's by the week, they decided to make Trabia it's Second base after helping to remake it from the amount of money they had received from the death of Ultimecia thus causing a chain reaction to make it bigger and to compensate for the losses what had been made.
