Author’s note -

I am alive! Do not fret! I have been busy and I went on vacation…so yeah…I am sorry! Please don’t hate me! So I have plans for this story…yes…muahaha…so here I want a little more QuistySeifer moments because I love them together

“So tell me how was your reunion with ‘Ol Squally?” Seifer jumped in front of a frustrated Quistis.

Quistis jumped back and sighed. “You love being nosy don’t you?” she asked him and pushed him aside.

Seifer followed, “Of course it is my nature,” he grinned.

“Why don’t you go talk on the phone or something,” Quistis turned and stopped.

“Well I was just on the phone so why would I want to get back on it?” he put his phone in his pocket.

“Well so what do you want to do?” Quistis crossed her arms.

“Hmm,” Seifer walked around her, “How about one date,” he stopped.

Her eyes widened, “A date?” she repeated unable to comprehend his words.

“Yeah you seem like you need a break, right?”

“Or,” she began, “You want to try and grab the truth from my mouth but for all you know what I told you could be the truth but your not going to believe your old teacher. So your going to ask her on a date to see if you can maybe gather some kind of information but let me tell you something, Seifer. I was telling the truth so there is no need for you to take pity on someone like me,” she pushed past him to go to her room.

Seifer stood there and sighed. “Now that’s your problem Quisty…you don’t really see how I look at you…,” he whispered and walked off in the opposite direction.

Quistis went in her room and slammed the door shut.

“I can’t take this anymore…,” she sobbed and laid on her bed. “I-I don’t know what I’m doing anymore…,” she put her head in her pillow and began to cry, soon she fell asleep.

Quistis woke up and she looked at the clock. She groaned, it was midnight and now she was wide awake. She wanted to leave this place but it would be to suspicious. She wondered about her boss, if he found out she failed yet. She hoped he hadn’t but if he did she wouldn’t be surprised. She couldn’t quite figure it out. She had never failed before, what would he do now that she failed? Surely, he would come save her from this place, wouldn’t he? She had known him for almost a year, she hoped, he would take care of all this. So that everything could go back to normal.

Quistis decided to walk her thoughts off. She circled the garden a few times and ended up outside of it. She looked to the stars and decided to sit for a while.

“Nice night, huh?” Seifer came up and sat next to her.

Quistis looked at him and nodded.

They sat quietly for a few minutes until he spoke.

“Listen Quistis,” he began.

“Here we go…,” Quistis thought.

“I know why you left,” he blurted, Quistis looked at him. “I saw the way you used to look at Squall…you look at him the opposite now,” he laughed. “I wondered where you had went, I mean,” he scratched his head.“It wasn’t like you.”

Quistis gave a small smile and laughed.

“What?!” he snapped.

“It’s so funny to see you so mushy,” she began to laugh again.

“Shut up,” he looked away.

“That’s payback for making me blush a few days ago,” she poked him.

He looked at her and grinned.

“Oh that grin,” she looked away. “Stop that.”

Now he laughed. “Alright. See? This isn’t so bad,” he looked up.

She sat there for a moment and fidgeted. “Yeah, not that bad,” she agreed.

Quistis didn’t want to admit it but being with Seifer like that felt nice. Sure he was a selfish, arrogant, know it all but for that moment he was actually nice. Quistis laughed as she took a shower for the new day.

“Seifer nice? There must be a reason…,” she trailed off.

When she got out of the shower she wondered what she would wear. She didn’t have anymore clean clothes. She looked in the drawers of the room and noticed her old outfit was in the top drawer. She stepped back for a moment and looked around.

“Was someone in here?” she looked around in her little room but found nothing.

She closed the first drawer and opened the second one.

“Shit,” she stepped back. She took out the outfit and threw it in the trash. She stared at it and wondered who had gotten a hold of her assassin outfit. “What the…,” she trailed off.

She slammed the second drawer shut and looked at the third one. She took a deep breath and opened the third one.

“Wha-,” she sobbed and put her hand over her mouth. She looked down at her picture and information on the agreement for her assassination job and next to it was a knife.

She clenched her fist and punched the wall making a new hole in it. She went into the bathroom and looked at the clothes she wore the day before. She took her pants and ripped them so it would go to the knees. She ripped her turtle neck off and the sleeves off. She took out her bun and let her hair flow down.

She went and took the knife to cut her boots. She the leather off till it was right above her ankle and she snapped off the heels so the boots would be level. She slipped those on and hid all of the things under her bed except the id of her and the contract, she put that in her pocket.

“I can’t stay here any longer someone might get hurt,” she ran to the door and opened it to be stopped by Zell.

“Quistis!”

“Zell?” Quistis breathed.

“Hey, Squall is healing pretty fast! Isn’t that great?!” Zell smiled.

“Yeah,” she breathed. “That’s good.”

“Hey, are you alright?”

“Yeah, um, I just need some fresh air,” she gave a smile. “Just tell everyone I’ll be down in a few,” she finished and walked off.

“Alright!” Zell called.

Quistis decided to take her time to Dollet. This time she wouldn’t be distracted by someone. She would get out of here and go to her boss. Someone knew it was her and she had to get away before she was caught. She walked to Dollet so when she got there it was night. She walked through the gate and was stopped by a dancer.

“Welcome to the Dollet Fair!” she threw confetti and ran off.

Quistis looked around to see all the different colored lights and tents everywhere. She didn’t know Dollet had a fair. If Dollet was having a fair then Quistis wouldn’t be surprised to see Zell and the group here. She cursed, this was getting worse and worse.

She was glad it was night but the lights made no point for it to be night. She sighed as she was pushed by dancers, kids, and students who went to Balamb. She wondered if the gang was here, surely not with Squall in such a position.

Sure enough she stopped as she looked up to see them sitting at a table laughing. She turned around and was tired of her reunion. She was mad at herself for even taking the mission. She clenched her fists and began to walk away when she looked up to see a gun pointed at her from a distance.

The person was hooded and they pulled the trigger. Everyone screamed from the shot and ducked but Quistis did a back hand spring to dodge the bullet. The person noticed she dodged and began shooting multiple shots. Quistis ran and hid behind a car.

“Quistis!” she heard someone call her name , but she didn’t look to see who it was. She ran the opposite direction of her old friends and as she ran she tried to out run the bullets. The bullets stopped and Quistis looked around to see the person shooting at her had disappeared.

“Pssst,”

Quistis’ eyes widened and slowly looked behind her.

“Gotcha ya!” he whispered and hit her neck, knocking her out.
