| Chapter Two - Quistis | ||||||
| Esthar was one of my favorite cities. Laguna, along with his friends Kiros and Ward, had accompanied me to Esthar. �You�re staying at the Presidential Palace,� Lagune said. �That�s alright - I�ll just get a hotel someplace,� I replied. Actually, I really wanted to stay at the Presidential Palace. But it�s common courtasy to say you�ll stay in a hotel. �Nah, it�s cool, the Presidential Palace is great! Nice and comfy,� Laguna replied like a overexcited child. �Wonderful!� I replied. �You�re way too serious, Quistis,� Laguna said. �Laguna would definitely say such a thing,� Kiros said. Ward nodded. He can�t talk. He lost his voice while a Galbadian soilder. �I�m tired,� I said. It was around six o�clock and I was already tired. �But it�s so early!� Laguna cried. �A SeeD always seelps when needed,� I replied. �But you have five days not to be a butt-kicking mama!� I wasn�t sure whether to be offended by Launa�s comment or take his advice. �You just saved the world - lighten up for a couple of days,� �For once, I�ll need to agree with Laguna,� Kiros said. �A Kiros First!� Laguna replied. But then he realized he just insulted himself. I laughed for a second. �See! Ward, Kiros and I will show you how great life can be if that non-serious, laid-back Quistis will be shown!� I smiled. I was very flattered they wanted to �help� me. �I don�t want to do anything degrading,� I warned. �Don�t worry,� Kiros said. Ward grunted agreeingly. I smiled. This could definitely be a great vacation. We arrived at the Presidential Palace. Ward offered to take my bags in, so I let him do so. The room I was staying in was beautiful. There was a canopy bed that had lace sides. A beautiful armior was next to the bed and there was also a mini-refridgerator and a dresser. �This place is beautiful!� I cried. �It�s alright, huh?� Laguna asked. �Alright? I feel like a princess,� I replied. Because I did. I can�t remember when I was treated so well. �Well, tomorrow, we go to the city,� Laguna said as he left along with Ward and Kiros. I began to unpack when I heard some arguing outside. �It�s President�s orders that Ms. Trepe is not to the distrubed.� �But I must see Instructor Trepe!� I went outside. I saw some Esthar soilders hold back a student of mind named Kevin Mesa. He was one of the Trepe Groupies. Even though they were my groupies, I didn�t know much about them. All I knew was they were my biggest fans. When I started teaching, I had no idea all of a sudden a few students would become my fans. I called out to the soilders, �I know him - it�s alright. He�s one of my former students.� The soilders let him go and he ran towards me. I pulled him in my rooms, �What the hell are you doing here?� I asked in a stern voice. �I�m sorry, Instructor Trepe,� Kevin replied. �You don�t have to call me Instructor, just Quistis. I�m a SeeD - just like you,� I replied. �Instruc-� Kevin stopped and then continued, �Quistis, all the Trepe Groupies are sending around a petition to bring you back as our Instructor.� I paced the room and sat on the canopy bed. Me? An instructor? Again? I had to admit - I�m very flattered they want me as a teacher again. �I was demoted,� I brought up. �But Master NORG isn�t in charge anymore.� NORG. I remember him. He was the secret owen of Garden until Squall defeated him. �NORG�s instructor told me I lacked leadership qualities,� I said. I remember when they told me that. The instructor told me that I wasn�t enough of a leader to teach at Balamb. At first, it hurt me a little, but I then realized my place at Garden wasn�t to be an instructor, but to be a SeeD. �I can�t become an instructor, I�m a SeeD,� I said. �Don�t say that,� Kevin replied. �I wasn�t a good enough teacher,� �You were a wonderful teacher! Remember - NORG was just like Ultimecia,� Kevin seemed really sincere. He really wanted me to be an instructor again. What if I do become an instructor again? How would Squall and the other feel? Is it my place? I can�t just consider my feelings, but everyone else�s. Besides, what does Headmaster Cid and Edea think about this? �Quistis, what does it say in your heart?� I looked at Kevin, who was standing over me. �It doesn�t matter what everyone else thinks or wants, Quistis.� �It does, Kevin,� �Listen to your heart - do you want to be an instructor or do you want to be a SeeD?� �I can�t be selfish.� �Think about it.� He got up and began to walk to the door. �Wait!� I called. I didn�t know what come over me, but I wanted Kevin to be here. �Laguna, Kiros and Ward are around 45 and I need someone here my age to be here with me. Do you want to stay?� Kevin�s brown eyes gleaved and he smiled, �I�ll stay.� �I�ll get you a room,� |
