One Week Later

Authors Note I have not included the SeeD exam because this story violence would just be unnecessary. Loz and Yazoo thanked Squall as they got their reports and they were hardly surprised to find out that they had passed with flying colours.

"So what are you two up to tonight?" asked Squall who walked down the path with Yazoo and Loz

"We are off to Deling City again to get my hair done" said Yazoo

"Very flash" said Squall. Yazoo frowned at him.

"We will be back before the ball" said Yazoo

"What of Quistis?" asked Squall "Have you asked her yet?"

"Unfortunately not" said Yazoo "Hopefully she is still going"

"Oh she is" said Squall

"How do you mean?" asked Yazoo. Squall rolled his eyes

"This morning, at six o'clock, Selphie and Quistis were banging on my bedroom door looking for Rinoa" said Squall "They have been getting ready all morning"

"Takes getting ready a bit far don't it?" said Loz. Squall smiled

"Tell them that and you'd probably get killed" said Squall "Anyhow, I have other things to attend to, so I will see you two later"

Squall left Loz and Yazoo to walk down to the station alone.

Five hours later Yazoo and Loz returned. Yazoo had his hair trimmed but made sure that it was still long while Loz had his hair trimmed slightly also. The two of them were stood in Yazoo's room making sure that they looked the part. A gong echoed out through the Garden; It was time for the students to meet up with their partners and go to the ball. Yazoo was surprised to find that he was extremely nervous.

"How do I look?" he asked Loz.

"Fine" said Loz

"You sure?" asked Yazoo.

"She's going to love you" said Loz "So let's go get your date"

"Who are you taking again?" asked Yazoo

"I asked Xu" said Loz

"That's nice of you" said Yazoo.

"I never thought we would be doing this" said Loz straightening Yazoo's bow tie.

"Neither did I" said a voice from the doorway which was followed by the sound of a gun cocking.
