OMG! It's the fortieth chapter! I can't believe I'm this far in the story! I can't believe I'm actually still writing, past a somewhat recent writer's block that was messing with my patience and will to even look at already written chapters. But I did so (lots of cheers come from crowd including crazy ghost, sadistic dragon, evil cousin and brother chained to the ceiling because he tried to get away) I didn't have a thing to do with that. (Eris smirks evilly). So today to help with the disclaimer we have some guests. Everyone I want a round of applause to:
…
Ariadne: Where the hell are we?
Joshua: I'm more worried as to why we are wherever we are.
Aria: Another crazy sorceress maybe?
Reyavie: That would be me
(Silence…)
Squall: Whatever
Sasha: Just what do you want?
Rea: The World on a silver platter.
(Even more silence…)
Aria: You need some help
Selphie: Indeed. So do I. Wanna join the Garden committee? (grins brightly)
Rea: (raises eyebrow) I'm sending you back. Right now.
(Selphie vanishes into thin air)
Quistis: Can we help you then?
Rea: Yup. I want that lovely gunblade Squall carries around and to know how the hell Rinoa's hair stays in place.
Rinoa: (runs away muttering about secrets of state )
Squall: (gives death glare)
Rea: (rolls eyes) Disclaimer you dense characters!
Josh: Do we have to?
Eris: (smiles sweetly)
Irvine: Cute kid (goes to pat head)
Eris: (bites)
Irvine: GET HER OFF! (runs away yelling)
Rea: (smirks)
Thanatos: Can you bloody do what she says so I can be freed in time to catch my plane!
Squall: Whatever…
Aria: (rolls eyes) Damned Universe. She (points at authoress) doesn't own anything at all in this story.
Stephanie: Except for you
Josh: You too.
Alexander: And, to our extreme displeasure, all the OCs including myself.
Sasha: Well, this sucks.
Eliza: And it's scary too. Good job. Wanna help me blow up something?
Lara: Have you been having sugar again 'Liza?
Aria: I think her blood IS sugar.
Squall: Can we actually do something productive now?
Eliza: Did we ever do that?
Rea: (rolls eyes again) Anyways RAC time!
…
RAC (or random artistic craziness) (crowd sends weird looks)
…
Fae Black – Hey there Fae! Welcome to RAC! Indeed I have no clue at all why you didn't review before but you reviewed now and that's what matters the most. I'm happy to know that you have been following SL and even more than you actually consider it that. Thank you (Reyavie bows). I can only hope to be able to continue to make you think so.
…
Hibeki – Hi again! (Rea waves cheerfully). You liked it. You did. Thanks for that.
(Stef: Just why did you like that? We were being tortured!
Aria: Exactly because of that (smirks))
And yes, weekly exams are indeed a pain and make us want to catch a plane or most likely spaceship and flee far, far away. I hope they went okay though and I wish you lots and lots of luck.
…
SLy – I dunno if I should thank you already for your review, for stopping studying time to say something or to have a heart attack because it's really cold here. It's cold damnit and I'm cold and you have warmth and heat…(Rea scowls)
(Eliza: That's kinda distressing
Josh: The scowl?
Eliza: The need to think twice about what to do. Who can borrow a GF?
Sasha: No one 'Liza. Now go search for me somewhere.
Aria: (raises eyebrow as Eliza goes away)
Rea: Could you kindly SHUT UP! (stops scowling while glaring at group))
Ok, now seriously,
(Stef: Really?
Josh: I'm shocked
Stef: No, you aren't (casts thunder)
Aria: You certainly look like it now)
I really liked to read your review as always. Also lots of luck to you for all those assignments as you can be sure I know how those feel. Feel free to do so to your friends. Just send me pics of the following day. Zombies anyone? (Rea grins evilly.) Well, hope to see you soon.
…
Da KeR MysTeRr – You're reading it! You really are! (Jumps around cheering loudly)
(Squall: May Hyne help us…
Aria: Were those more than two words together? Wow. You're evolving there
Squall: (glares) She is the crazy one
Aria: So?
Squall: Why do I even bother with you?
Aria: (points at authoress that's glaring at both)
Silence)
Now that the annoying guests have shut up I'll just say that I'm really happy you're enjoying this, even though you probably won't read this chapter so soon (damned Bio and school and whatever really), and to know that you like my character as well.
(Aria: She's talking about me?
Sasha: She says you're awesome
Squall: Sure…
Aria: Wanna comment on that Commander?
Squall:…whatever…)
And you're awesome too and crazy like me and your stories are the best. YOU ALL GO READ THEM. Couldn't resist. Hope you like the rest of it and by all means go to sleep. (Waves as Aria smacks Squall's head for an "about time" comment)
…
Meepills aka Letha – Heya Letha! (Thanatos pulls chains frantically while receiving weird looks). So cool that you got to have so much fun at Halloween. In Portugal there's not a big tradition over this. We have some other days that are pretty much the highlights of the year but this one is not a very important one. But I'm sure you must have had loads of fun. And damn, I still haven't seen that movie but I have friend that's going to borrow me that one so all's good. 99 bottles of beer is a cool song though
(Aria: I think so too
Josh: So do I
Stef: You would think so. Pair of sadistic people.
Aria/Josh: Thanks
Alex: Could you please stop the insanity?
Aria/Josh: No
Zell: There's another twin on the loose!
Aria: Where in Hyne's name did you come from?
Josh: Another twin?
Quistis: Kitchen, me.
Bellona gives look and goes away)
I think I would have had a heart attack hearing a guy singing that through an entire day. Either that or I would have hit him with something. But you won the game! (Rea cheers loudly). Go Letha! And election time sucks. But to me it's worse because I have to vote and I don't have a clue in whom. Though mine's are only in January or something. Candy are a good trading card. A pity I can't use that as mine…well, they don't last long.
Screaming things are good writing things. AAAAAAAAAAAH! See? I just won't do it live because I'm surrounded by people in the informatics labs and I don't want to be carted to the nearest asylum. Yeah, it does seem like penpals or something (Rea grins). I have no prob at all with that. In fact I enjoy reading your reviews all weeks. I often laugh while reading them which can be really good for my sanity (or insanity. Who cares?) Well, you take care, eat all those sweets and I'm going. Enjoy the chappie.
…
Welcome to the…
Squall: They already know that (dry tone)
Rea: Aren't you supposed to be a quiet guy?
…the fortieth chapter of Second Life. I'm going to stop Bellona from killing Zell because I want to that. My fridge looks strangely empty.
…
3rd Person POV
…
Ariadne sighed in frustration as she pulled away from her thoughts, the deep frown that had developed fading slowly. Her eyes opened when she heard the soft bell indicating that she had arrived to her destination.
When Aria stepped out of the elevator there was no sign of her discomfort or confusing thoughts.
– "Good morning Aria" – Xu was just closing the headmaster's office's door, a small smile lightening her almost oriental features.
– "'Morning Xu" – The older girl seemed, as almost everyone on the current days, tired and in dire need of a good rest. – "That bad?" – Xu sighed and nodded tiredly
– "We lost a lot of senior Seeds in the war" – She informed – "There's too much work to do. New recruits to be trained, students that are waiting for their exam, supplies that need to be collected, training weapons…I can continue if you want." – Ariadne shook her head smirking dryly.
– "Believe that I know that all too well" – The Galbadian stated – "Nevertheless you guys are being pushed way too hard. Need any help?" - Xu gave her a piercing look that could only mean… "Are you nuts!"
– "Stop hanging around Quistis so much" – She said wryly – "You're catching her habits. Extra work…I swear…" - The last part was mumbled.
– "It's not that I like to do it" – Aria said thoughtfully before shrugging – "I just know how much a pain it is to do all of that alone but, if you don't need me, then I'm not going to be stupid enough to try and change your mind. Have you seen Mrs. Kramer?" – Yet another strange look probably due to the abrupt change of the conversation.
– "This one isn't used to you yet" – Commented Sacred. – "Including mood swings."
– "A pity you are leaving Aria soon" – Continued Minotaur – "You have been doing such a good job driving people crazy. She would be a likely candidate." – Aria barely listened. Apparently they would never stop those comments so replying would accomplish nothing.
– "With Cid" – Answered the other Seed – "I suggest you knock. Loudly." – From the visible wince that crossed Xu's expression Ariadne deduced that knowing what was happening inside would not be a good thing.
In a word…eeeewwww.
– "I think I'll…do just that" – Aria chocked trying to get the mental image out of her mind. – "Thank you for the warning."
– "Yeah" – Intervened Minotaur – "Can you imagine if…"
- "I DON'T want to imagine else anything Taur" – The Galbadian interrupted – "So don't make this situation even worse."
– "Anything else?" – Stressed the guardian – "Aha! So you did imagine something!" – A loud smack echoed in her mind.
– "Thanks Red"
– "No need" – Came Sacred's calm voice.
– "Hey Aria" – Called Xu – "Is everything alright?" – A sigh was heard.
– "Sometimes I wonder why I keep my guardians always junctioned" – Ariadne stated – "I love them to bits but…"
- "You should try Phoenix" – Xu's tone carried something akin to teasing. The sentence was not only directed to the girl in front of her – "She's very overprotective." – And then she winced.
– "And able to scream really loudly in one's mind." – Xu completed – "Well, I'm going now. I have work to do." – Thirty seconds after there was no sign of her anywhere.
– "So we aren't the only dysfunctional pairing" – Aria thought evenly – "That's always good to know" – The Galbadian turned to the wooden door and knocked, very loudly and very audibly, making sure than even a deaf would feel the quivers of the movement. Silence as no one answered and then…
- "You can come in Aria" – Said Edea's soothing voice.
Ariadne raised an eyebrow as she did so, the dark door opening beneath her hands to allow her entrance. The space was exactly as she had seen it the last time she had been there. Or mostly.
The desk had been moved to the side and another added opposite to it. Other than that the elevator to the control panel was still there as well as the small marks on the floor caused by its ascend on the day of the first attack on Balamb Garden.
Of the fight against Galbadia Garden there were only scratches on the floor where the broken glass had been dragged after the entrance of the Galbadian soldiers. Cid was sitting on one of the desks and, on a chair next to him, was the former sorceress.
– "You do know that that" – Aria pointed at the door – "Was way too creepy. How did you know it was me?" – Edea gave the girl her patent I-know-something-you-don't smile.
– "I may not be a sorceress anymore but that doesn't mean that I don't have some skills I developed. Your aura is quite recognizable." – Aria cocked her head slightly and she could have sworn anyone would have been able to see the small gears turning.
– "Still creeps the hell out of me but a very useful skill to have" – She commented – "Maybe you can teach me sometimes. Did I interrupt anything?"
– "Please tell her she didn't before she has a heart attack" – Requested Sacred. Cid coughed slightly.
– "No, of course not" – He appeased calmly.
– "Hey, did you see that?" – Asked Minotaur – "He coughed. Of course not, my foot."
– "Red?" – Called Aria. A loud hit.
– "Thank you."
– "Anytime" – Was the answer.
– "Did you need anything Aria?" – Asked Edea. Ariadne smiled wickedly, her arms crossing in front of her chest.
– "Just to talk a bit with you" – She informed carelessly – "As you are currently…unoccupied. But I can always come back later."
– "There is no need" – Assured the older woman as she stood up. – "Can you wait for me just a minute?" – Aria didn't need any more information.
The "outside" was well underlined even as it was left unsaid. Soon enough she was next to the elevator, choosing not to think about anything except what she wished to speak with Edea. Anything else would be far too traumatizing.

…
- "So that's what happened" – Ariadne sighed deeply, pushing the hair that had fallen from her ponytail behind her ears.
She had just told Edea everything that had happened ever since she had left to the future until the day she arrived. It seemed right. After all, the older woman already knew almost everything else so if Aria could confide in someone it would be the former sorceress.
– "I really don't know what happened to Hyne though" – Confessed Aria – "I think that, as crazy as the woman is, she hid something from me. Something else happened when I destroyed the Meva Ysimad." – Edea frowned slightly, a confused and worried expression overtaking her normally calm features.
– "Why do you think that Aria?" – She asked somewhat bemused – "She seemed to be quite honest with you." – The girl bit her lip in thought.
– "I'm not quite sure" – Ariadne confessed after a while – "Hyne did said everything that would happen if I did what was asked of me. She told me the repercussions, the risks I would take, the risks to everyone I cared about and even gave me the means to go to Earth for a bit and see my brother and niece. She helped me get Squall out of harm and brought us back. Of course she completely freaked us out but without her, things would have gone a lot different. And that's where it doesn't connect right." – Stern green eyes met calm brown ones.
– "She never told me what would really happen to her." – Aria finished as she finally caught the last piece of the puzzle.
She hadn't been able to do that earlier but saying it out loud, talking with someone, forcing herself to read what the first sorceress had said…she had finally understood.
– "Don't think the worse Ariadne" – Scolded Edea with a tone of voice that booked no arguments.
– "But what if my choice…"
- "Killed her?" – Completed the older woman – "Is that what you're afraid of Aria?" – The brown haired girl nodded tiredly.
– "Then don't" – Continued Edea.
She stood from the chair she had been sitting and walked to a window. The two had occupied Quistis's office as the blond girl had been sent earlier to help with the younger students that seemed all too keen in destroying the Garden.
– "You said your choice" – She turned back and came closer to Aria before crouching slightly so that her eyes could meet with the pale green orbs. – "It wasn't." – A caring hand caressed the straight brown hair.
– "You said to Rinoa that it wasn't her choice to make" – Edea stated gently – "And it wasn't. You said it was mine and Lyanna's and yet it wasn't. Sorceresses and Bearers played a strange game for so long Aria. It was time to end it. Hyne knew it. You understood it. Even if she died her legacy remains. For her, after so long, it must have been pure relief…to be able to finally rest." – Edea could almost see her point of view battling with the girl's last touches of stubbornness.
Or maybe pounding would be a more appropriate word. For someone so open-minded Ariadne could be really hard-headed when she thought she could have done something better.
– "Do you hate her?" – Whispered Aria – "For having become a sorceress?" – Edea took her chair back, arms resting on the dark wood as if it was a throne.
– "No." – She answered with certainty – "Maybe I should…but I don't. I could help with it while I had it. It was a gift and a curse at the same time. No" – The woman shook her head – "I don't hate her. And you? Do you hate her for being brought here?" – Aria crossed her arms with something akin to a pout ghosting over her features.
– "No" – A small smirk took over her lips – "She was right. I am, or was, a Bearer. I found a new life here, a purpose. I made things slightly better. That's good enough for me. I hope she's happy wherever she is, though." – The pause extended and neither of them had any hurry to break it. They were both lost in their thoughts…their memories.
– "You are worried about something else" – It wasn't a question. Edea had made it a statement. Ariadne rolled her eyes.
– "People being able to read my thoughts are becoming really annoying" – She commented dryly. Edea chuckled softly, something that made her look even younger.
– "Not your thoughts" – She said gently – "Your attitude. You are too silent, too thoughtful today. It seems as if you have chosen this day to rethink your entire path. It is somewhat hard to miss." – Aria closed her eyes before supporting her head on the back on her chair.
– "You must think that I'm acting out-of-character…that and worrying too much." – The silence was answer enough.
– "I have no illusions of what we'll find in Galbadia" – The Seed informed – "I know that the situation will be one step short of chaos."
– "But…" - Edea's voice carried a distinct touch of amusement. Ariadne drew herself straight once more and her eyes assumed the piercing glint that showed that she was up to something.
– "I have a half-backed plan in mind."
– "Which I assume will not be the most orthodox or even safe one?" – And yet another statement/question. Aria smirked lightly.
– "Something like that" – She replied before frowning – "The gang from Galbadia is used to these kind of plans. They know how to handle them and they'll help. Soon we'll have enough information and we'll be able to act accordingly. But the problem is that…Balamb Garden cannot interfere until the right time. They cannot interfere." – Edea's brow furrowed slightly.
– "They would be able to help you"
– "I'll put my money on trying to stop me of doing something that must be done" – Aria said back easily – "Believe me, they would. So I need for you to keep them on a short leash, so to speak. At least until the time is right. Then, by all means, intervene." – The older woman gave her a brief scolding glance for the attempt to defuse the situation.
– "Other than that" – Aria's expression softened – "Can you keep an eye on them for me while I'm gone?" – Edea wanted to sigh in frustration.
In front of her was a girl…no, a woman that she knew almost as well as she knew herself. She was a crafty warrior, cunning, but too neglectful of the dangers that she would have to surpass or the cost that those would bring. About to get herself in another war, she was asking for her to take care of grown men and women.
– "You know I would have even if you hadn't asked Aria" – She finally said. Ariadne gave her a well-duh look.
– "But after I've found Quistis falling asleep in a pile of paperwork I can only guess that will get worse when I'm not around" – Edea raised an eyebrow – "I was running away from the gang" – Understanding showed on the woman's face. That and amusement. Aria smiled as she got up, her eyes straying to her watch.
– "Now I really gotta go" – The Seed informed grabbing the katanas she had taken earlier before placing them on her back – "Have some training to do."
– "Finally" – Mumbled Minotaur that had been way too quiet for the last half an hour – "I'll never understand women and conversations."
– "You'll never understand anything at all brother" – Added Sacred in his calm tone – "Period."
– "Well…I'm still taller than you" – Aria could almost see the older brother roll his eyes. Just how did people want her to be sane with them around?
– "Be careful then" – Said Edea taking her away from her thoughts and Sacred's particular dry comment "Oh joy" that was threatening to make her burst out laughing. – "I am sure I will see you before you leave" – Aria nodded.
– "We leave at ten" – She informed – "Apparently we're going to stop in some of the smaller villages before reaching Deling. I'm sure that I'll be able to pass here before we go" – The former sorceress stood as well, watching as Ariadne bit her lip as if unsure of something, and then…the girl hugged her fiercely.
– "Thank you for everything Edea" – Aria's voice was thankful, much more than the older woman would even think to deserve for lending her an ear. Her arms went around Ariadne, tenderly returning the embrace.
– "You have nothing to thank me for Aria" – If she had looked behind she would have seen the girl's eyes tightly closed and a bittersweet smile on her lips. But she didn't. Aria let go and smiled again.
– "I'll see you later then" – Her words were calm with an undertone of joy. She was almost at the door when Edea called her name.
– "You do not need to call me Edea, Aria" – The woman informed – "All my children call me Matron" – When she saw the wide smile that overtook Ariadne's face she knew that no words she could have used would have been more correct.

…
- "So…" - Aria ducked as a blade whizzed above her head – You don't know – She turned around herself, a katana meeting the opposing blade easily – Who'll be in charge? – The other smacked the blade away as it joined its sister allowing Aria to come closer to kick her opponent's knee.
– "Fuck" – She smirked slightly as Seifer backed away, a distinct disturbance on the smoothness of his movements caused by the pain – "You don't fool around on the job, do you Beckerman?"
– "Never did, never will" – Aria said simply supporting one of the blood-red blades on her shoulder. – "As my instructor kept telling me. "Leave politeness out of the battlefield, you idiotic girl, and hit where it hurts" – She shrugged
– "The guy is quite sadistic but no one can deny that it does work. Why hit where it doesn't?" – Seifer nodded before attacking once more. The blades clashed once more.
– "Don't really know" – He stated, answering her earlier question and getting out of the way of her right katana – "The most of the top military were…" - Aria twisted her right hand, allowing the momentum of her previous movement to fuel her next one.
– "Corrupted. Fear of Ultimecia kept them quiet" – Hyperion answered promptly, stopping it before it could touch the man's arm. Both warriors jumped back in an unspoken break.
- "Caraway?" – Inquired Ariadne – "And I would turn around and get rid of that Grat." – Thirty seconds and a Fira later there was toasted Grat on the floor of the training centre
– "He's too upright" – Informed Seifer – "At least when talking about his country. He had no problem in sending Seeds to kill Matron. I would wager that he will be put out of the way." – Without any warning he was attacking her once more. Aria didn't even think as she moved to block
– "So that's a no. Aarstad?" – Her questioning continued as well as the fight continued.
If someone entered at the moment would be most likely impressed with the way the two moved. Seifer was stronger. That was obvious. Each movement carried precision and strength in its wake enough to do severe damage if he managed a hit.
But Ariadne was faster, more agile. Joining that to the fact that she used two blades and an almost unpredictable style of fighting, it was easy to understand how she could face the taller man for so long.
– "We have five potential idiots then" – Aria stated after a while, her body already answering slightly slower than usual. Something that almost made her scowl.
– "But potential allies" – Countered the blond man that had also been slowing down considerably.
Maybe that was the sole reason why he was able to stop his movement as someone jumped between them. A certain someone in a bright yellow dress and soon to be on the bad side of one hell of a rant. That Aria could guarantee.
– "Hyne damnit Selph" – She cursed loudly – "Are you fucking nuts? We could have hit you." – Selphie actually seemed angry.
– "Well, you two have been here for more than two hours just yapping about and trying to beat the crap out of each other" – The girl informed crossing her arms, apparently to make her look more stern. It wasn't working.
– "Did she say yapping about?" – Muttered Seifer disbelievingly. Ariadne could just feel her headache returning.
– "Calling wouldn't work?" – Selphie grinned and at that moment Aria knew she wouldn't like the answer.
– "I gave up after the fifth time I yelled." – She had an urge to bash her head against a wall. She was really, really, begging to have her specialization changed to spy-who-gets-caught-by-all
– "But as you both seemed all too interested in drilling information of the each other I suppose I can forgive you for ignoring me" – Selphie said mock-condescendingly. Aria rolled her eyes.
– "Oh, be still my heart" – The sarcasm was dripping from her dry tone in such quantity that the other two were surprised in how they hadn't drown in it – "How would I live without your forgiveness?" – The two katanas were sheathed neatly on her back and Aria sighed before cleaning her sweat covered face.
– "So what's up?" – She was not liking the look on the other girl's face.
Nope. She wasn't liking it one single bit.
And the grin seemed a wee bit too enthusiastic for her tastes. Aria was going to kill Seifer if he didn't drop that exasperating smirk of his.
– "Well remember that promise you made me when I helped to get you out of the infirmary?" – Asked Selphie too innocently.
– "Dear Hyne, dear God or Dear Whatever Divinity in existence" – Thought Ariadne – "I know I really screw up things sometimes but I don't think even Ultimecia would deserve this" – A small nod was all the answer Aria gave.
– "Good" – She was so dead – "Because I was thinking, as Galbadia Garden is going away tomorrow and all, that we could do something to celebrate the war's end before that"
– "We?" – Whispered Ariadne's numb mind. In said mind several chuckles were heard.
– "So I needed some help" – Continued Selphie that was pointedly ignoring the Galbadian's horrified glance while swaying on the balls of her feet – "And then I remembered you saying you would help me and here I am."
And her look said "I took you from your personal hell and you promised and I'm going to guilt trip you into this whether you like it or not…especially if you don't like it"
– "She is good" – Commented Minotaur. Aria sent him the worst glare feeling she could.
– "You cannot deny it Aria" – Added Sacred. She ignored them.
– "Alright" – Ariadne conceded tiredly – "Give me just half an hour to take a shower and change clothes. Almasy, stop grinning or I'll put you working on the kitchens." – Seifer cocked his head to a side still smirking
– "On what grounds Beckerman?"
– "Disrespect to an officer" – She declared easily. He stopped smirking.
– "You are good" – Intervened Taur once more. Selphie grinned widely before she walked forward and grasped Aria's arm.
– "So now were going to the cafeteria" – The Trabian said in a tone that was too forceful not to be an order. – "And you're going to help me and Irvine…oh and Rin and also Zell cause I caught him when he tried to nick some hot-dogs from the kitchen"
Seifer just watched as the small girl dragged the one that he had been fighting for the past two hours. The warrior that had seen in him the same pain she had went through. The warrior that had gone to hell and back…
- "I'm going to wear WHAT!" – He started laughing.
…
Aria: What the hell are you going to do to me!
Rea: I'm not going to do a single thing
Aria: That means that I'm not going to suffer?
Rea: That means that I have done it already
Aria: (death glares authoress)
