Author's Note: Hey! It's me again! Yay me! Um… yeah. I got nothin'. Just, ignore my ramblings and continue reading.

Disclaimer: See chapter 4. Follow directions from that point on.

Squall looked at the nondescript lump of brown packaging that sat on his bed. Reaching down, he picked up the white envelope that sat atop it. Opening the envelope, he began to read the letter.

Squall, when you get this letter, I won't be here. That's why I'm writing a letter instead of saying this to your face.

Hopefully, you'll have dropped the moniker 'Leon'. Partially because it doesn't suit you, and partially because it sucks. Everyone misses you, Squall. Well, everyone except the new sorceress, but, that's a given.

In short, I wrote this letter to tell you that you're needed. Balamb needs you. Garden needs you. SeeD needs you. Rinoa needs you. I caught her the other day, bawling her eyes out after we failed to find you on yet another world. I had to stop being a jackass and be a kind and sensitive person to convince her otherwise. You owe me big time for that.

So… yeah. I really don't have much else to say. If you're coming with us, make sure you open the package, or you'll be demoted. And I'll know if you don't. When you're ready, meet me by that cranky duck's store. I'll be there for a few hours. After that, I'll have given up on you.

Zell.

Squall chuckled as he set the letter down. That was just like Zell. Arrive, visit, eat, and run. Squall picked up the package and tore the paper off. Inside was a familiar set of blue clothing.

"What is that?" Yuffie's voice said from behind him.

"It's my old SeeD uniform. Zell must have snuck it out of my room back at Garden," he answered.

Why'd he bring it?"

"I don't know. Maybe to guilt trip me into coming with him and Rinoa. I'm surprised that he'd think he'd have to. Hey, could you get out please? I have to change."

Impatiently, Zell folded his arms and tapped his foot. He leaned back against the side of Scrooge's giant freezer and huffed.

"Can I help you, laddie?" Scrooge asked, holding an ice cream.

"Nah, I'm just waiting for someone." Zell replied, waving the duck off. Just then, Squall came running from the direction of Merlin's house, decked out in the finery of a member of Seed.

"Am I too late for the party?" he asked when he arrived.

"I'm surprised, 'Leon'. You know the party doesn't start until I get there. I'm not there right now; therefore, the party hasn't started. So what made you change your mind? Was it my brilliant speech last night, or did you just miss me?" Zell answered.

"I'm Squall again. And I think it was a combination of both," Squall answered with a laugh.

Just then, all the fighters from the Restoration Society arrived in the town square.

"What are you guys doing here?" Squall asked them. "Did you come to see us off?"

"No. We were talking, and we realized that, after all you've done here in Radiant Garden, the least we could do to repay you was too help you save you're home," Yuffie answered.

"Excellent more fighters! Booyaka!" Zell shouted.

"I see Selphie's phrase has caught on," Squall observed.

"Not really. I just use it to make her feel better, and it's kind of become a habit," Zell responded. "Shall we go?" When the others nodded, Zell pulled out phone and called Rinoa. "Beam us aboard, Captain!"

"Idiot," came the muffled reply.

End A/N: Sorry about the chapters being so short, but hey, I'm handwriting it all before it goes on the computer. So shut up! You want off so badly then jump. Get off my back. Sorry, I've been watching too much Advent Children lately.
