Chapter 1:
As the sun rose on the new day, Squall woke up the same way he always did: with that horrible morning taste in his mouth and blurry eyes. He looked over to his window and watched for a moment as the sun rose, savoring every moment of peace and tranquility. It had been almost two months since Ultimacia had been defeated but not much had changed. Squall was still head commander of all the SeeDs on their floating Garden. Rinoa moved out of her home and was now a full-fledged SeeD. Not bad for someone who had never really considered the life of a SeeD, All in all she had managed to become a one in less than a month. She and Matron had weekly lessons to help her get a better understanding of her new powers, and she rather enjoyed the company of another Sorceress or rather Ex-Sorceress. Selphie and Irvine broke up, then they got back together, then broke up again and finally got back together. Oh yeah they broke up again and eventually got back together. However Zell was not so lucky and he and the Girl with the pigtail who worked in the library broke up and stayed that way. Zell didn’t really have that big a problem with it. He figured if that was what she wanted, who was he to get in the way of her happiness. She did nothing more than realize that the image of Zell she had in her head wasn’t what he turned out to be at all. Quistis eventually regained her teacher’s license however decided that she would put off the hectic life of a teacher for a while and became a personal tutor to some of the more gifted students. The mornings were tiring for everyone however, as they all had to get up extra early in the morning so that they could all head down to the cafeteria before the place filled with eager students, wanting to hear yet again of how the six of them had saved the world and beaten the ultimate evil. Squall and Rinoa were late that morning, though it didn’t really bother anyone. Once the whole gang was there it painted a portrait of a group of friends that couldn’t be closer. Zell telling jokes with one too many hotdogs in his mouth and Selphie having to slap his back so he could swallow his food and finish telling his joke of the day. Irvine of course was sitting next to Selphie urging her to tell a joke of her own (preferably one more tasteful than Zell’s). Squall and Rinoa would look at each other as two people in love would do, and Poor Quistis would sit there next to Zell blushing at the sheer immaturity of his joke. It was one of the best mornings they had ever had. The rest of the day went pretty well. At about 2:00 pm, Squall and Quistis were summoned to Cid’s office and were told that Laguna, Ellone, Ward and Kiros would be visiting the Garden for a few days. However Cid stressed that Ellone wanted to see Squall in private when they arrived. When Squall asked why, all Cid replied with was “She wouldn’t say, but it didn’t sound like anything too serious.” With that they dismissed. They both saluted and started walking away from Cid. Squall looking back as he walked out. Quistis noticed this and asked if he was ok, Squall just nodded his head still wondering, ”Why did sis want to talk to me in private? I hope everything is ok.” They entered the elevator and headed toward the balcony entrance (witch was where they all hung-out) to tell everyone of the news. As the private shuttle landed Laguna could feel his leg starting to cramp up. Ellone sitting next to him helped him out of the shuttle, whispering to him, “Don’t worry so much, it will all be ok.” Laguna merely replied, “I hope to the gods your right.” When all four of them reached the Garden they went straight to Cid’s office. Laguna explained to Cid why he had come and asked if word of their arrival had already been announced. Of course as he expected the answer was no. They all had a brief conversation with Cid and then finally Squall and the rest of were told to come up to his office to greet the honored guests. When they all arrived Laguna asked that while Squall and Ellone talked in private, if he and the others could be given a tour of the garden. Once the others were gone Ellone asked Squall if there was a place were they could talk without being interrupted. Squall could think of no other place than the “secret place” that Quistis had shown him on the night he met Rinoa, and with it being so early in the evening no one would be there to disturb them. It took awhile but they eventually arrived at their desired location when Ellone told Squall the he might just want to sit down for what she had to tell him. She began by telling him of the wonderful things she had been up to while living with Laguna. During the whole conversation she kept referring to how wonderful a person Laguna was, and although Squall didn’t have anything against Laguna he was starting to get tired of hearing of what “a wonderful person he was.” Eventually Ellone got her point and told Squall that she had found out the identity of his father and that Squall himself knew who he was too. Squall looking rather confused narrowed his eyes and tried to say something but as soon as he opened his mouth, it hit him. Who had she been talking about all this time, who did she keep referring to as “a wonderful person”. The realization hit him so hard he nearly forgot to breath. He could barely think, “It can’t be him! Anything but that! Why him, of all people why did it have to be that blundering idiot. I don’t need this right now, my life is finally starting to calm down and I’m finally starting to be happy for once in my life, I don’t need this. I don’t want this!” Sure he didn’t have anything against Laguna but spending time in Laguna’s head hadn’t made him like him either”. Ellone put her hand on his shoulder and told him, “He’s a good man and he really cares a lot about you. Just give him a chance. This was all his idea to let you know this way… he” Squall cut her off, “ This way! Let me guess, he was to chicken to tell me himself and sent you to do it for him!” Ellone sharply answered, “No, he thought it would be best if you heard this from someone you trusted.” Squall looked at her, and then spoke in a sarcastic tone. “I’ll bet that damned leg of his didn’t have anything to do with that.” Ellone snapped back. “That’s not fair” Squall just stood up, looked her straight in her eyes and said “ Fair would be not having Laguna as a father, to know that everything he is, is in me. To have been in his head and to have seen him for what he really is, a coward.” And with that Squall walked away. He didn’t have anything against Laguna…until now. End Of Chapter 1
Chapter 2:
Laguna had just finished telling everyone why he decided to come to Garden when Ellone came up from behind him. Everyone gathered around her to hear what she had to say; it was not the story they had hoped to hear. When she was done they all went silent. None of them could believe what they had heard, especially Rinoa. She believed that Squall was past being like this. After the great improvement he had made in just a few months. It would all be for nothing if this were the end result. Laguna stood up looked around the Quad. His leg was giving him trouble, “The least of my worries.” He looked around at his friends, then at the friends he had just made. He knew no one was going to say what was painfully obvious, that he should go and see Squall now that the truth was out. So he got left the group, not really knowing what to expect from his son. Squall was sitting on the stairs that led to the elevator. He was just staring down at the ground in front of him when Laguna stepped up to him. “Can we talk?” he asked. “What’s there to talk about?” Laguna doing his best to ignore his leg now throbbing in pain, he took a deep breath and gave words to what was in his heart. “If I had the power, if there was only some way I could make up for what I have done. You know I would. If I could make it all better I would but I can’t.” Squall lifted his head to look at Laguna with a cold and dead look in his eyes, a look colder than the most bitter winter in the dead of night. Then he spoke. “How long have you known?” “Of course that would have to be his first question” Laguna thought, “2 years after you were put in the orphanage, since then I have known.” Squall stood up. “You have no right. To be gone all my life, never to look back. What did you expect? Sure dad let’s go fishing, let’s go hang out while we catch up on the last 15 years of my life!” Then a single tear shot down Squall’s face, and what he said next tore through Laguna’s heart like a jagged sword. “You have no right! I don’t need you or any of your excuses. Get out of this Garden, out of my life and stay out! You will never EVER be part of my life.” Laguna almost scared to say anything replied “But son…” Squall quickly cut him off. “ Don’t you dare call me that! My parents died when I was born. If you ever call me that again, the last thing you see will be my gunblade right before it slices through you.” Squall turned his back starting to walk away but Laguna’s voice stopped him. “If I really thought you believed that, I would just die.” Squall simply replied “Then why are you still here?” He started walking again when Laguna reached out to Squall’s shoulder. But Squall turned around so fast Laguna thought he was going to hit him. He tried to plead with him. “Please Squall don’t end it like this.” Squall just looked at him with his eyes filled with the burning hatred and passion of a thousand suns. “I hate you for everything you’ve done to me, but more importantly I hate you for what you did to my mother. You left her to die alone.” Squall turned back around and just before he left he looked at Laguna trying to hold his tears back. Squall walked up to him to give him his final words. “ There was a time when I would have wished death upon you but now your life will be your torment, I wish you a long one.” With that Squall turned his back to Laguna for the last time and started walking. He didn’t use to have anything against Laguna but now he had more than enough hate towards Laguna to last him a lifetime. End Of Chapter two
