I just recently got back into the FF8 fandom and stumbled upon this story - I absolutely love it! It's like reading an almost entirely new storyline/game. I love that. :) Keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to your next update!

Good chapter. The flashbacks are intriguing as usual. I'm starting to get a vague feel of the flashback plotline. Squall's misunderstanding is getting hilariously sad. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Noooo! Daddy Seify! And they cut off his head! Cerespallas! I've imagined to Seifer without neck and didn't like for nothing T-T xD

Now, who are Edmund and Stephan? umm ...

Hahahahaha! Diablos can kill me of laugther without knowing xD Popcorn! Loool... and then talking nonstop in the best part of the story xD And the Ifrit's questions, for Selphie not hear anything of these scenes xD! Ufff...

xDDD Damm Diablos... Ifrit is right: "it was all tragically romantic until you open your mouth"
I was so excited reading to the King... And Diablos had to talk xD

And now Selphie... She had to fall out of bed in the best part?

To all this... If I'm not mistaken, she was Edea, not?... And that is the Seifer's father... But Edea can't have children to save the king, not? Then... Where's came Seifer from? . I've made a mess myself xDD
Hey... Why Selphie ask who is her sorceress? Seifer isn't?...

Ahhh! So the village that you spoke in the previous chapter was the Shumi village. I don't remembered him xD

Heeeey! Wow, Selphie! Studying to Seifer! Continues, continues... Diablos, shut up! xD...
AAAAHHHHHH! KISS KISS!

SQUALL! Go find to Quistis and let me read about Selphie and Seifer together!
The best part and you spoil, Sulky prince!
T.T Not fair!

Wait!... Squalll saw the kiss! and Squall thinks that Seifer and Quistis are together... FIGHT! xDDD Now I wonder that will happen...

Ummmm a T-rexaur is disappear... what happened? xD

"Quistis studied his face, noting that there were several light cuts on his face, something that could only be made by a sharp blade."
Tell me that Seifer did this to Squall and I can die of laughter xDDD

Heeeey! Squall proposing to Quistis be lovers behind of Seifer back? Hyne...
Now you have to fight, Squall... you had the chance, you lost it and now you wanna recover it? Then fight for Quistis...

Already? The chapter has been so interesting that made me short xD
Thanks for the good read... I love it! :D

By the way, the previous chapter was going to ask if you were going yo write about the parents of all the characters. I mean... I think I have the parents of Zell, Irvine, Squall (this is obvious from the game) and Seifer (although in this chapter makes me doubt of the Seifer's mother xD) so... you write about the Quistis and Selphie's fathers?

And another thing... The other day, I told a my friend that she read this fic (I know that she'll like it) but she said didn't understand English very much and couldn't folow the story. So I thought... You want that I translate you your fic and publish it in Spanish? Clearly I say that is your story and put all your notes. But only if you want. Or I translate you and I pass you and publish yourself. Honestly, this story needs to be known much more and it's a shame that those who don't know English can't read it... But well, I only translate with you permission :D

Now I say goodbye, I think I've written enough for today xD
Thanks! Tonight I don't know I'll dream by to read this chapter xD

See you at the next! Greeting!
ByeBye! :P

Another great chapter, as always.

If there is one word to encapsulate this chapter, what would easily come to mind is TENSION. I really feel for Selphie in this one; it could not be easy going through what she has just done despite being a soldier. And yet, she still retains her enthusiasm. I developed a newfound respect for her character, which is surprising since she's easily among the top of my most disliked characters in the FF-verse.

This just goes to show your strength as a writer. I can't help but enjoy your story since it really does prove to have a more logical progression that what we have in the game. The only gripe I have is that your story does not have enough reviews as what it deserves.

Also, great TENSION you have with the Quall couple. I never thought Squall could pull off something like that, but wow, you really do know how to make it so on point and so in character that I actually had shivers at their final cconversation. Again, a testament of how effective you are with your writing. Kudos! ;)

Please make the next chapter soonest! :)

Great chapter. I thought the balance between the emotional and humour was superbly done this chapter. The after effects of the missile barrage on Trabia Garden and Selphie's perspective was wonderfully done and emotionally potent.

Love your humour once again and all the inside jokes on the FF series. I'm certainly curious about Ward's story, and it's an intriguing subplot you've developed that enriches the story. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Ohhhhh! A new chapter so fast!

Hyne... Rinoa didn't know what do it with Squall...
Rinoa will get a Sephiroth's doll? I think that Rinoa will do anything to get it... And if she gets it ... Squall will happen? xDD

Booo... Poor Ward! T-T If I was in front of him, I would give him a super hug! T-T is how he leaves the bar and turns with Laguna and Kiros? Which by the way, that little endurance has this man... A cup and he already slept hahahaha

...Cerespallas... You are evil... A little more and I cry with Selphie.
The Amelie's story, burying the bodies... Her mother... I swear I almost cried..
But there he was... Seifer, supporting her in silence beside him. And I love that phrase: "Just for once, just for her, today he would say nothing."

Hahahahaha Lol! Selphie knows how upset to Seifer! Using the Reverse Psychology to get five slices of the Seifer's cake xD Almost spit a lung of laughter ...

"Life was never fair with him ever since Zell came." Hahahaha Poooor!

Selphie was adopted by Mia Tilmitt ... Seifer by Cid ... Quistis and Irvine by Martine ... Zell by Mrs. in Balamb ... And Squall? How Squall left the orphanage? Ummm ...

And now Quistis thought to act thus because she tries replace to Elleone... But then, What will happen? She has to finish with Squall because I said... xD Noh, you said it, but will be so, or not? ... but then... Booo I wanna know!

Oh, a village? This is new... I wanna see!

The situation between Squall and Quistis is getting very tense. I wonder how it will change everything ...

PD: so at the end Selphie knew that she was adopted and about the orphanage... Then... Now I have more desire to know why she is the perfect hostess!

Thank you for the quick update! I wish the next!

Chauu!

Wow, that was a quick update!

Lots going on in this chapter... sorry I don't really have any constructive comments.

Never, never in a million years did I think this chapter will turn out this way. But, I've got to say, FINALLY. I've been waiting for that tense Quall moment for ages. I'm glad a very concrete development has finally hap

Great chapter as usual. The Balamb segment was so pitiful sad (so much for well trained mercenaries) but you certainly packed in the laughs. Not too sure where you're going with the Edea, Cid and mysterious king (Seifer's father?) flashback but it is intriguing.

The characeterisations and relationships are fun and enjoyable as always. Looking forward to the next chapter.

Me again, I forgot to talk to you about a little something in the review xD

What Rinoa would do with Squall? It is to view: Cloud the Mako? Ummmmh... Squall will? After that kiss? Poor Rinoa ... but ... Nah, Squall with Quistis, that I like more xD

And about Selphie... in the next chapter finally know because Selphie is a perfect hostess? Or we will have to wait?
What I ask myself is ... Selphie knows she is adopted? Ummm...
Yey! Already approaching arrival at Trabia, it was what most I waiting I honestly do not know why ... but as I told you: I wanted to see this part

I think I do not forget nothing... Oh, yea! This has nothing to do with the chapter: Why Seifer with Selphie? In your story always is Seifer with Quistis. Although, I like Selphie... But I wondered why you decided to matching them

Well, now I go. Bye Bye!

I was NOT expecting that at the end of the chapter. :D

I shall anxiously await the next update.

Waaaaa! Cerespallas! T-T I missed you! When I saw your new chapter in my email, I swear that I jumped and screamed with excitement xDD

Well... To reaaaad! :

¿Eh? ¿Seifer? ¿the start is on the Seifer's father? ¿This is the King nameless tomb? ...Uh... to continue reading xDD
Yeah! It is the king of the tomb! xD
"Oh, I see. My name is—" ... I'm going to kill you, Zell! How do you think wake up to Seifer now? Shit!

Lol... The day that Seifer give a love letter to Zell... I will exist no more xD
Oh. Oh... Seifer's vocabulary worsened xDD Is more... he...
"Zell knew he had lost his mother." Hahahahahaha Seifer won the hearts of Ma Dincht!

Selphie! You almost kill Squall! Murderess!
Oh? They can speak mentally! How nice!
"I am not going to get the girl who is going to be the Lady Rochester into jail" Ehhhhhhhhhhhh?!
"Anyone want some popcorn?" xDDDDDDDDD Hell, Seifer!
Rochester is...evil...

No!...No! The Selphie's mother no! No! Oh... Selphie...

Wa! They kissed! And then Squall flees! Coward! xDDD No no, Quistis... Isn't a dream. Is real! Veeeeery real! Squall runs really fast! That admirable...
So cute, Quistis. She didn't want to erase the memory of kiss of her lips..

Puff...

Anymore?! And what is this: Muahahaha in the end?
How you want that i sleep now? I will dream of this chapter!

Oh, cerespallas! I love how you explain the whole story. For example it the unnamed king... I thought you were not going to name any more of he and here you are talking about he...

Thank you for the new chapter! I missed so much!
See you at the next!

Bye Bye!

Oh wow! This story is amazing! I can't wait to read what happens next! Please update again soon!

Haha, Squall definitely misunderstood, didn't he?
I was surprised to know that Quistis actually rejected Seifer though. I thought they dated before and then broke up for some reasons. Besides, the way Quistis acted when Zell confronted her about the his mother's necklace drove me to the thoughts that she and Seifer had a relationship before.

And so, I finally understood Rinoa's role. I don't know why they chose her to cheer Squall up, but really, she only annoyed him. I don't think a quiet Squall would prefer someone pestering him. It's already a good thing he didn't yell at her.

Or perhaps he simply couldn't.

What Seifer did to Selphie in the concert, I guess that was the most sweet moment and romantic gesture Seifer ever did. No sweet words, just an indirect act to give her a little happiness. I couldn't stop grinning at that particular scene.

Thought it's a pity that Selphie's concert didn't go well due to Seifer's disagreement to the combination between the music and Raijin's tap dancing. Well, I don't think Squall enjoyed it. Rinoa distracted him anyway.

Also, the short scene between them in the classroom somehow told me that they're kind of...not dating? I thought they're dating already with hints all over the previous chapters, or is it that I'm too assumptuous and get everything mixed?

"Seifer told me I have to do one thing right if I want to be able to fight. When I asked him to train me, he took me to the running ground and told me to run like hell."

Nice advice, Seifer 8D

The small dispute between Rinoa and Zell made things a bit tense in this chapter. While I could understand why Rinoa wanted to learn martial arts, I also agreed with Zell that martial arts aren't used to fight in order to fight. It should be for defense. Besides, as Zell had said, since everyone in the Garden are fighters, there's actually no need for Rinoa to learn to fight (aside from the fact that she often made a wrong decision or act at unfavorable moments).

Seifer, seifer. I wonder if the intended misdirection he pulled at the last scene was to retaliate what Quistis did to him before? If yes, he sure did it well. However, I pity Squall for being a victim. He should have kept his head cool and not concluded things by himself before thinking it over.

Then again, love is blind. Lol.

This is a fun chapter. It's nice to see more development in every characters.

Will be waiting for the next chapter :)
