Stars twinkle on the cloudless night. A hazy moon shines upon the shore.
-
-
The ocean is sparkling...
-
-
Two lone figures stand amidst of the spectacular view. The cool, gentle breeze caresses her long, blonde hair.
-
-
"Quistis...you're..." He runs his fingers over her face.
-
-
"...Yes?"
-
-
"..beautiful.."
-
-
She blushes, her crystal blue eyes full of love.
-
-
"Would you mind if... you'll be my princess...and.." He lowers his gaze. His eyes meet hers.
-
-
"And?" Those eyes mesmerize her.
-
-
He kneels down and takes her hand. A smile forms from his lips.
-
-
"I'll be your knight..."
-
-
She smiles back. Tears begin forming in her eyes. Quistis tries to lean down and kiss him when...
-
-
POOF!!
-
-
As the smoke dies down, Diablos appears in replace of her knight.
-
-
"Peek-a-boo! I see you!!"
-
-
She screams!

Chapter 1: Into Valentine's Day
-
-
Quistis sat up on her bed, eyes wide and gasping for breath. Just when she thought that everything was getting better, someone had to barge in and ruin everything.
-
-
"Diablos..." Quistis shuddered at the thought. She paused for a while and looked at her window. Sunbeams could be seen through her closed curtains. It was morning already. She stretched her hands up in the air and breathed slowly.
-
-
"Oh Hyne, I'm going to be late for class." She pulled off her comforter and grabbed a towel. 'Instructors are never late,' that would be Quistis's motto for the day. She strode across the room and made her way to the bathroom slamming the door shut.
-
-
Quistis's room had a plain, barren impression on it. The room was practically filled with plain things. A plain bed, plain study table, plain closet and some sort of plain furnitures made the place just plain melancholic. The only thing that had passed the level of 'plain-ness' would be the red, huge picture frame hanging above the plain bed.
-
-
In it was an enlarged photo of she and her teammates. Their eyes were beaming with proudness. Those were the good times. It had been a year since they kicked Ultimecia's butt. She and her friends, now called the Heroes, were promoted as a token for saving the world.
-
-
She got her old license back 5 months ago. Zell, Selphie and Irvine became Rank A Seeds. Squall became the Commander of Balamb Garden with Rinoa as his volunteer secretary. Yep, things were going pretty well since then... Or was it?
-
-
After a few minutes, Quistis got out of the bathroom in her robes. The towel wrapped around her hair. She slipped into her Seed uniform and opened the plain drawer beside her plain closet. She pulled out a small plain box in it and opened it.
-
-
"No..not again.."' One of her clips she used to put in her bun was missing. It was the fifth one this week! Some philiac out there had taken an unusual liking for her clip collection. Whoever it was, Quistis wished that he'd lose all his hair for using her precious clips. In this day and age, who would do such a random thing?
-
-
Good thing she had a lot of clip in her box. In one swoop, she tied her hair into a bun. After putting her boots on, she faced the mirror and smiled her sweetest.
-
-
"I won't think of my missing clips today...I won't."
-
-
Today's going to be a Great day. Quistis's life was complete. She got friends that cared for her. She got her old Instructor's license back . Heck, she even had her own fans club. What else could possibly be better?
-
-
"Complete..."
-
-
...But why is it I feel like something's missing? Squall suddenly popped in her mind---then her nightmare with Diablos. "Ugh..Did you kiss a malboro or something, Quistis?" her inner child piped in. Squall's long out of the picture but Diablos? She would rather go to the Island Closest to Hell and be slain by a Blue Dragon than to make out with a stupid GF that came out of a freakin' lamp.
-
-
With one last glance, she stared at her empty room and went out. She sighed. "I need to redecorate this room..." She whispered to herself.
-
-
"It doesn't fit my all too happy lifestyle," she said trying to sound optimistic. Maybe she really was just being paranoid, Quistis knew deep inside that she was somehow content. Yep, content.
-
-
She locked the room with her keycard."It's another day in Balamb Garden...Here goes Quistis Trepe..." She thought sarcastically. Neither did she know that the worst and yet the best thing that would ever happen to her plain life was about to begin...
