Chapter 1

Squall wondered aimlessly through time and space. After the defeat of Ultimecia, Squall found himself separated from the others, and hand been wondering across some desert for some time now. He was tired and weary, and just wanted to go home.

'But how...'
Gazing around, he saw nothing but dirt, sand and dirt. Squall was about to give up and continue walking when a shimmering in the distance caught his eye. The shimmering light expanded, leaving a hole, which showed dark green foliage on the other side. Desperate to leave the desert, Squall ran towards the gap in time, unknowing of the small figure that was following him. He jumped.

'What the hell!'
Seifer gazed at his paws. Then his tail. Then his paws again.
' Damn, this is not good.'
Seifer tried to scream in frustration, but only managed to let out a grating yowl that echoed in his ears.
' Great, now what am I going to do? I'm stuck in time compression with no way out, and now I'm a cat. A Cat. Why a cat for Hyne's sake? Oh well, it could have been worse, she could of turned me into a dog.'
Getting up and shaking his head, he gazed around.
' Now lets find... Squall?'
Seifer watched as a tired and weary Squall walked slowly across the desert, Gunblade in one arm. Seifer instantly crouched low to the ground, and watched the brunette as he scanned the horizon, looking for the same thing as Seifer – an exit out of hell. Seifer noticed the shimmering time rip at the same time as Squall. Waiting until Squall had started moving, Seifer ran up behind him, unnoticed by Squall as they leaped into darkness.

Seifer stared around him. He was in the middle of Balamb Garden with no weapon, no magic and an unconscious Squall.
'Wow, I must be the luckiest guy alive' Seifer thought sarcastically as he padded cautiously towards the unconscious SEED. Jumping on top of the brunette, Seifer sat down on his Chest and stared at Squall.
'Now what to do. I can't walk around here by myself, I'll be eaten within minutes, and you'll suffer the same fate as well in this condition. I guess I should try to wake you up then.'
Seifer nudged Squall's chin. No response. He nudged again, a bit harder this time. Still no response.
' Ah fuck Squall. Why you go knock yourself out for?'
Letting out a frustrated hiss, Seifer stood on all four paws and jumped up and down a few times. Squall slept on. Seifer gazed down at his paws in defeat.
' Stupid body with stupid tails and stupid paws and stupid claws... heeeeyy.'
Seifer lifted up a paw and wiggled his toes.
' Ummmm, now how do I do this?'
Experimentally he flexed his foot muscles, and out came four very sharp claws. If he was in human form, he would of smirked and chuckled in an evil way.
' He he. Wakey wakey Puberty boy' Seifer said mischievously as he raised his paw up high.

SWIPE!

"OWWWWWW!"
Squall at up with a start, placing his hand on his sore cheek.
"Oww, what the fuck?"
Squall looked around for the offender, eyes falling on the black, white and ginger cat sitting smugly on the ground beside him.
"You did this?"
"Meow."
Squall shook his head.
' Great, now I'm asking a cat a question. I really need some sleep.'
Squall stood up and looked around.
' I'm in Balamb Forest by the looks of it.'
Bending down, Squall picked up the offending cat by its scruff.
"That wasn't very nice, scratching me like that. And what you doing all the way out here? Ah oh well. I guess I better take you back to garden with me. Someone might claim you there."
Seifer meowed in agreement.
' Yes, out of the forest, away from the hungry monsters.'
Holding the cat firmly in his left arm, Squall picked up his gunblade and started towards Balamb.
"You know cat, if this scratch attracts any monsters, they're eating you first."
Seifer gulped.

Squall toddled up wearily to the gates of Balamb Garden.
' Thank Hyne, here at last.'
Entering Garden, the first face that greeted him was a very relieved Cid.
"There you are Squall. We were so very worried about you."
"Are the others back yet?"
" Yes, you're the last one to arrive safe and sound. Is that a cat?"
"Well, I believe so" squall replied sarcastically. "I found him in Balamb Forest."
"Ooook then. Go and get cleaned up. I'm sure your looking forward to a hot shower. I'll get some food sent up for you. Get some rest, the others will want to see you and we're also planning a celebration for you and the team in honour of your deeds," Cid babbled on as Squall headed towards his dormitory.
"I know this is not the time to ask, but the position as Commander is still open if you want it. Don't make any decisions now, just let me know before the celebration so I can announce it formally then ok Squall?"
Squall nodded wearily. "Yes sir." Surprising Squall, Cid pulled squall into a big hug.
" I'm glad your ok Squall. Get some rest." Cid said in a fatherly tone before heading off down the hallway. Silently, Squall entered his code for his door and entered the dark room for the first time in months. Releasing the cat from his arms, he flicked on the light, yawning loudly as he made his way to the bathroom.

Seifer looked around at his surroundings.
' How very ... boring.'
Grey dominated the room. Grey benches, grey doors, grey lamp shades, grey everything.
' He really needs to discover the colour wheel.'
CLUNK
Seifer's ears twitched.
Another clunk.
' What?'
Seifer looked around for the source. His eyes locked on the bathroom door as several more clunks followed and the sound of running water filled Seifer's ears.
' Ah, Squalls belts.'
A whispered sigh as Squall climbed into the shower.
' Wow, talk about super hearing' Seifer thought. 'I wonder what else I can do?'
Looking around, Seifer spotted a lone chair in the corner of the room.
' Cats are suppose to be able to jump high. Nice and easy. I'll start with that chair.'
Seifer padded over to said chair and hunched down.
' Ok, 1, 2, 3 Jump!'
Seifer pushed off and landed smoothly on the seat of the chair.
' Ahhh, perfect as always. Now lets try something bigger.'
Seifer's eyes landed on the kitchen bench.
' That should be easy enough.'
Jumping down from the chair, Seifer padded over to the bench. Hunching down, he jumped into the air, paws reaching out...
'Wo...ahhhh!'
Back paws peddled furiously in thin air as he desperately tried to dig his claws into the bench.
"Meoooow!"
CLUNK
'Owwww.'
A snort sounded from behind him.
"Stupid cat" Squall said, standing in the bathroom doorway, towel wrapped around his waist. Walking over he grabbed the indignant Seifer and placed him on the bench.
' Who you calling stupid' Seifer grumbled, annoyed at being caught out like that in front of Squall.
"If your looking for food you're out of luck until the tray is brought up cat" Squall said, scratching Seifer behind the ears.
' Hmmm, this actually feels good.'
"Tonight you can stay here and tomorrow I'll find someplace else for you to live" Squall said, heading towards his bedroom.
' Some place else? No, wait Squall. Don't send me away. I have to see Edea and get here to change me back!'
KNOCK KNOCK
Squall crossed the room and opened the door, grabbing the tray and placing it on the bench.
'What have we here?' Seifer wondered as he sniffed the plate.
'Mmmm, steak, peas, potatoes, an after dinner mint and orange juice... hey cool, I can smell!'
Seifer filed super smell next to super hearing and (not so) super jumping. Squall lifted the lid to reveal a deliciously looking hot dinner. Grabbing a fork, he dug into his meal, eating ravenously.
" Meow."
Squall paused in his shovelling to glance towards the cat, who was looking up expectantly at him. Squall sighed.
"Oh, all right" Squall mumbled as he cut some of his meat into chunks and placed them in front of Seifer. Seifer attacked his food merciless. He couldn't remember tasting anything as nice as this before.
' But I guess not eating for a while does that. Doubt it would make carrots taste any better though.'
"God you're a pig." Squall commented as he watched the cat gobble down the meat within seconds.
' He is quite a cute looking kitty' Squall thought as he chopped up the rest of the meat for the cat. The cat was mostly white, with patches of ginger and black over his body. On the shoulder was a black patch that looked like a distorted cross, and both the back paws had black boots. A black patch circled one for its eyes, and a strip of ginger flowed down the back of its head to its shoulder blades. The fur was soft and sleek, and Squall could see the muscles ripple as the cat moved. The results were a weird, but cute looking cat.
' Must be a tom cat to be built like that.' Squall frowned.
"I wonder if you have a home. Most people de-sex their cats these days."
Seifer's ears perked up at the word 'de-sex' and he stared at Squall in horror.
"Hmm, maybe you're wild, but you seem quite placid to me," Squall mused as he reached up and scratched Seifer behind his ears.
"If nobody will claim you, I might just keep you myself."
' Good idea Squall. Just no more talk about neutering ok?'
Seifer rose and stretched, jumping off of the bench and padded into Squall's room.
' Ah, time for bed.'
Spotting a nice plump pillow, Seifer leaped onto the bed, but found himself flying before he had a chance to settle down on his prize.
"Oh no you don't cat. No cats on the bed," Squall said as he slid into his bed and turned the light off. Seifer sat on the floor for a few minutes, before quietly jumping up, careful not to disturb Squall. Spinning around a few times, Seifer settled down at the end of the bed, asleep within minutes.

AN/ Second chapter done! Thanks for all the reviews. I decided not to go and change Ultimecia's dialogue for now, as she only plays a minor role at the moment, but if she does makes an appearance later, I'll find out exactly how she talks and change it. Remember to read and review!
