~Hee, two updates today, I'm on fire. This is for everyone who hates Rinoa because she's a bish. I might not update tomorrow, that's probably why I did two today.~



Rinoa was summoned up that morning to the Headmaster's Office…Her arms crossed and a smug look on her face. The Library Girl, her name was Sara ((o.o;)), was still clinging to Zell, who looked red in the face like he would go haywire on Rinoa as she got off the elevator and headed into the small hallway. She moved further through the hallway and soon moved through double doors, only to see three people.

Edea's golden eyes looked sad, disappointed obviously, she would be the gentlest of the three, it was obvious. Headmaster Cid's brown orbs were sharp and bitter, he was a very sweet man unless you crossed paths with him or one of his favorites, his main favorite, other then Squall, was Quistis. When he retired or died Quistis would be officially in charge of Balamb Garden the academy where as Squall would head the military. Although Cid didn't say that, Rinoa knew that was what would happen.

Last but not least, she encountered cold steel of her lover…Former lover… Her own brown orbs bore into his lazily, she wasn't ashamed of what she had done. But Squall was the first to talk.

"Take that, Trepe?"

Rinoa remained quiet…Squall moved forward and his hands went to her shoulders…Rinoa actually smiled and moved in to an embrace. But instead she got shoved gently. Squall's eyes angry, a thunder storm swirling in blue…

"Take, that Trepe?"

He said it a little louder, his voice full of quivering anger he was holding back. He had known something was wrong with Rinoa, but Quistis was far from the problem, Squall's eyes were narrowed very slightly. He tried to calm down and it resorted in this.

"Are you aware that Quistis was near killed last night?"

Rinoa spoke hoarsely, she didn't know what to say now that her knight was no longer her's…

"I didn't try to kill her."

Then Edea spoke, calmly and smoothly…

"But you did try to traumatize her. You did try to make her life miserable. You cannot deny that."

Rinoa's eyes moved sharply to Edea.

"I did nothing to her except have her do my hair like her's!"

"…You're a fool…"

Headmaster Cid had finally piped up.

"Edea may not be a Sorceress anymore, but she can still tune into what certain Sorceresses do. Why do you think Garden has had such a lock on what Sorceresses were doing?"

That's when Rinoa's eyes widened…Edea knew every single thing she had done that involved her powers…

…She was caught…



Seifer woke up to the wonderful smell of food cooking, he had missed out on lunch and dinner yesterday and his stomach rumbled with approval…For a moment, he was alarmed, Quistis was no longer in the bed. He quickly shot up from his seat, hoping it was her in the mini-kitchen that only SeeDs had. Seifer's large hands moved up and brushed the sleep from his eyes before he let out a long yawn…Slowly stretching before he moved into the kitchen…Quistis making scrambled eggs and flipping pancakes all at once. The pale pinkish orange duster was still off of her and she had the bandages from the night before still on her…When her arms moved, it showed she was sore.

Seifer had taken the liberty to inform Squall about Quistis' condition after she was firmly in her room, even though he DID have to argue endlessly about her staying with him instead of the Infirmary.

The fact that Quistis was flipping pancakes and making scrambled eggs burned a memory through him.



When they were in the Orphanage, Quistis often tried to imitate Matron, and keep up with Sis. So one day when Matron was cooking breakfast, Sis beside her, carefully breaking eggs…Quistis decided she wanted to learn how, so Matron told her she could stir the pancake batter before Matron would pour it.

Quisty was doing a very good job, and Sis often complimented her on it, Matron smiling warmly that day until Zell stormed into the kitchen, bawling.

"Seifer's making fun of me!"

Seifer slowly trudged in and smiled sweetly to the cooks, in hopes for extra pancakes, before he saw Zell. He moved forward so he was standing behind Quistis and he bopped Zell straight on the head.

Quisty gasped as he bopped Zell and instead of letting Matron deal with it, she decided to tip the pancake batter onto Seifer's head. Her hands landing on her tiny hips and she huffed softly.

Zell started giggling uncontrollably as the batter dripped down the little Seifer…Sis covering her mouth, trying not to smile and Matron looked angrily at Quistis before she looked to Seifer and started laughing too.

Seifer didn't mind being covered with batter, it had caused everyone to laugh and he WAS the center of attention, and hey, Matron didn't yell at him…



Seifer couldn't help but give a low chuckle, trying not to alert Quistis that he was there, he liked sneaking up on her…And he had to be perverted a little bit, so slowly he moved up behind her and then he pinched her rear…Hard.

Quistis let out a loud yelp before she turned around and winced, she turned to quickly…But she started laughing as Seifer smirked, she couldn't help it…Then she quieted down…

"I really am sorry."

That caused him to frown…

"You know…I am your knight in shining armor now…I give you my trench coat to wear when you got wet…"

"You pushed me in!"

"And," he ignored that, "I saved you from the dragon…"

"Dinosaur…" she interrupted.

"And then you even slept in my bed."

"Don't go around spreading that!"

Quistis' cheeks were a light red now…

"I even bandaged you up…"

He smirked slowly, his left arm encircling her waist…Getting Quistis to stop before she mentioned some other absurd comment. His right hand moved up slowly, tilting her chin up before he leaned his head down slowly, his green eyes watching dark blue ones as he lowered his head down even more.

Quistis' eyes closed first, her arms slowly sliding around his neck, fingers stroking the back of his neck before his lips gently met her's…His right arm joining the left and pulling her a little closer into the kiss…



Rinoa watched Squall sadly as he sat at his desk, hurriedly writing up a letter.

"Who're you writing to…?"

Squall glanced up once, then he began to write again…

"You can't blame me for wanting her to stay away from you."

"From me…From Seifer…He was right about you…"

Rinoa frowned…Sitting down on the small couch that was in the Headmaster's office…

"I'm writing to General Caraway."

"Daddy?"

Rinoa's eyes went wide. Squall nodded slowly.

"I'm informing him about you. How you used your abilities in a nonproductive manner. How you planned on going back to Seifer, your father never liked him. How you planned to harm a friend, a partner, a teammate, someone who is very dear to me…"

"…You love her don't you?"

"Better her then you."



Seifer chuckled softly as he slowly pulled away.

"Quistis?"

He said it softly, in a whisper, causing her eyes to open slowly and respond breathlessly…

"Yes…?"

"I know you really came to see me naked the other day…"

She scoffed…

"Wanna know how I know?"

"How?"

She rolled her eyes, expecting a stupid arrogant remark.

"That isn't my trench coat, it's a blanket…"

Quistis' cheeks went bright red.



Irvine and Selphie sat next to Zell and Sara on the bench outside of the library.

"Can you believe that Rinny was out to get Quisty?!"

Irvine put another large paw to his ear…

"Selphie! Tone control…Please…"

She giggled softly and pressed her lips to his ear, causing Irvine to grin and wiggle his eyebrows to Zell and Sara, Sara looking scared and Zell rolling his eyes…

"NO I WILL NOT USE TONE CONTROL!"

"AHH!"

Irvine's hands flew up to his ears as he winced, Zell started laughing and Sara just buried her face in the crook of his neck all the more.



Seifer smirked, holding the black blanket up slowly and wriggling his eyebrows…

"Were you trying to signal something to me? I know I'm hot and you want my bod but this is a little extreme…"

Quistis was still red and she turned around, grabbing a paper plate, since that's all he had, and throwing three burnt pancakes onto his plate. They burned since he had decided to kiss her when she was about to take them off.

"Aww…That's harsh…"

Seifer gave a soft pout which made Quistis' heart melt…He leaned down slowly once more, hoping for another kiss before the intercom in his room went off.

"Seifer Almasy and Quistis Trepe"

Squall's voice rang on the intercom.

"Come to the front gate to give your farewell to Rinoa Heartilly's departure."
