I'm trying to write the story I had originally intended.
I don't own any of the Final Fantasy 8 characters, but the six newbies are mine.
I don't know what Caraway's character is like, so he's going to wind up really snooty... I have no idea why.
I'm not sure whether you wanna call it Rinoa bashing or what, but I'm sure I'm not exactly nice to her...

Chapter 6
"I wonder what Caraway wants," Kiros thought aloud as he reached for food from the plate that Max had brought up, "Even if his daughter is supposed to be an instructor."
"I get the feeling that it has something to do with the other Gardens," Max muttered.
The elevator whirred signaling that it was in use. Since this Garden was, at present, smaller than any of the others, there were only two floors. And since the only two occupants weren't riding the elevator to the first floor there had to be someone on their way up to see the Headmaster.
"It's probably Caraway demanding that we aid him in some mad scheme or another," Kiros bit through a carrot with extra viciousness.
"He's probably driving Squall mad on the trip up," Max snickered quietly.
"What gives you that idea?" Kiros blinked and stopped mid-chew.
"The little screen right there that shows the occupants of the elevator," Max grinned, pointing.
"I can't believe I never saw that," Kiros chuckled, "No wonder no one can sneak up on you. You find all of the surveillance devices that no one else even knows about."
Max snorted as the elevator doors open, "Isn't it my job to keep track of security?"
"You have an immature punk in charge of security?" Caraway snapped immediately after exiting the elevator, "No wonder there are children painting the walls blue."
"So Ashran, Grendyl, and Zack took over after Asura, Mayra, and Reline," Max grinned, "We let them paint the guest rooms because there's no one important there."
The old man turned a dull red in fury, "Not important?! I am here to give you people a job to do!"
"In case you hadn't noticed," Kiros raised an eyebrow, "We barely have enough instructors to teach now, which means we have no one to spare."
"You've been in session for almost a full year, now, right?" Caraway stood tall, as though that would make his point faster.
"So?" Kiros shook his head.
"Well," Caraway snorted, "Even the other Gardens let their students go for a time during the year."
Kiros blinked and counted mentally. Max and Squall just looked shocked.
"We forgot to give them a vacation?" Kiros spluttered lightly, "That's just great."
"It means," Caraway gloated, "That the children will be going back to their homes, and all of you will be available for the job."
"Not really," Squall snorted, "Not everyone has family, or one who wants to keep them."
"We would still at least have to keep three or four people stay behind, to watch the Garden," Kiros argued.
"I only need about five of them anyway," Caraway waved a hand dismissively, "I think it would be best to use the five that traveled with my daughter."
"Actually," Kiros smirked, "I was going to send our strongest members."
"Which are the same people, I assume," the general rolled his eyes.
"Not a good idea, actually," Kiros grinned outright, "Excuse me for one moment, I have to call a few people up here."

That's clearing up a few things.
~Wonder if I should say more about the security system, considering...~
