Chapter 3
"Squall! I finally caught up with you!"
Squall turned around. It was Xu.
"Do you need something?"
"Cid would like to see you! He has a mission for you!" she said, huffing.
"Thanks," he said, walking to the elevator.
He clicked the third floor button and waited for the elevator to slowly make it's way up. Suddenly it stopped. The lights flickered on and off. A voice came over the intercom just as he was told. Funny story about that...
Earlier this morning...
Squall had woken up after a thought filled sleep. Well actually, that was a lie. He had gotten zippo sleep. He had stayed up all night thinking of possible reason's why Quistis had attacked Rinoa. As he rounded the corner he saw HER. Not his her, Quistis. She looked as normal as possible. He stopped as she noticed him. She smiled a sweet smile. Uh-oh...
"Hello Squall. Would you mind coming over here for a moment...?" she asked a little too sweetly.
He looked at her, and reluctantly followed.
"If you tell anyone about what happened last night...I'll kill Rinoa. If you don't do as I ask...I'll kill Rinoa. If you even speak to her...I will kill her...Got it?"
He glared at her.
"Do what you want, but I'm serious. Think what you want. Just remember what I said before you do anything...irrational. I'll contact you later..."
She walked off leaving him with his angry thoughts.
The voice spoke.
"Squall, I believe it is time for us to set some...HEY! I TOLD YOU TO STOP TOUCHING THAT! YOU LITTLE BRAT! NOOOO!"
The intercom was cut off and the lights came back on.
"What the hell? She has gone officially insane..." Squall muttered to himself as the elevator stopped at Cid's Office's floor.
He got out of the elevator and opened the door to Cid's office.
"Ah, hello Squall! Come in!"
He walked in and sat down.
"Alright. Now, down to business. Yesterday, I recieved a letter."
"...Ok."
"And it was from your father."
"Whatever it is NO."
"Well, he just wants you to visit. I can't refuse him the right to see his son."
"...Do I have to?"
"Yes." Cid said firmly. "And you are to be taking you teammates with you. Consider this 'mission' as a mini vacation."
After he was dismissed, Squall headed back down to the main floor to go find Irvine, Selphie, Zell and Rinoa. There was no way in hell he was bringing Quistis to go visit his father. She probably would attempt to try and kill Rinoa again.
"Why must I visit him? He is such an..." his voice trailed off.
Laguna Loire was the father Cid had been talking about. To put it frankly...he was a bit of an airhead. Literally, to the extreme. He couldn't believe that he was in any way related to him. He headed toward the Quad as it was the best place to look for them all at once. Lo and behold they were all there. He noticed Irvine first since he looked like someone decided to make him their new punching bag.
"What's up?" Zell asked as he sat down on a bench.
"We got a mission."
"Yaye! Where to?" Selphie asked energetically.
"We...are going...on a short vacation..."
"Awesome! Where are we going?!" asked Zell.
"To...Esthar..."
"Are we going to go see Laguna?" asked Rinoa.
"Unfortunately...yes."
"Yaye! We get to see Laguna finally!"
"Go get packed. We leave right away."
"They thought they could just up and leave me, eh? Well I think not..." Quistis mumbled to herself, grabbing her things and stuffing them into a bag.
She had eavesdropped on Cid and Squall's conversation and hurried to pack all of her belongings before the others boarded the Ragnarok.
"I need to be sneaky. I'll hide in an abadoned compartment, wait till the Ragnarok stops, get out, take out Rinoa, and have Squally all to myself...hehehehehehehehe! BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" she laughed maniacally.
"HEY YOU IN THERE! WOULD YOU SHUT THE HELL UP?! I'VE HAD TO LISTEN TO YOUR MANIACAL LAUGHTER EVERY FREAKIN DAY AND I'M TIRED OF HEARING YOUR DIABOLICAL PLANS TO MAKE COMMANDER SQUALL YOURS, EVEN THOUGH IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN SINCE HE'S IN LOVE WITH RINOA, SO STOP YELLING AT THE TOP OF YOUR LUNGS! IF YOU WANTED TO KEEP IT A SECRET, DON'T BE ANNOUNCING IT TO THE WHOLE WORLD! GET A TAPE RECORDER AND SPEAK INTO IT LIKE NORMAL CRAZED VILLANS DO!" yelled Quistis' next door neighbor.
"GO FALL TO HELL!" Quistis yelled back.
"I ALREADY AM SINCE YOU'RE HERE!" he answered.
"YOU ARE LAME! NOW LEAVE ME TO MY DIABOLICAL PLOTTING AND PACKING!" she screamed.
"FINE!"
"Now that I'm finished packing, time to head to the Ragnarok!" she said gleefully as she hastily made her way to where the Ragnarok was parked.
