"Introduction of Balamb Garden"

Chapter Four

Monday morning:

"Good morning and welcome to Balamb Garden. I'm Instructor No. 14 Quistis Trepe. We're going to do a tour of the garden." Her wardrobe consisted of a pink skirt with a sleeveless pink shirt, brown gloves, knee-high boots, and a thick, waist belt.

"This place is beautiful and gigantic," Amy said in awe.

"Right now, you are in the Main Hall. If you look at the maps provided for you, you will see that the infirmary is below the West Block. The physician there is Dr. Kadowaki. Next is the quad, which is located within the West Block. The Garden Festival is held here every year. North of the West Block, you'll see the cafeteria. Hot dogs are served here and are part of the SeeD diet. You have to be here at a decent time in order to eat because they tend to run out very quickly." She turned to the new students. "Any questions so far?"

"None so far," Ryo replied.

"Good. If you continue past the cafeteria and towards the North Block, you'll find the dormitory. This is where you'll be able to rest or heal yourselves and your Guardian Forces."

"Guardian what!!!" Mina exclaimed.

Quistis turned around, her blonde hair swinging, and stared at her and the others through her glasses. "Guardian Forces are creatures that assist you in battles. There are some creatures that have elemental attacks and others that have non-elemental attacks. They have love/hate relationships with each person that they are equipped to. The more you are compatible with that GF, the quicker they are able to arrive in battles. I'll explain later after the tour." She turned around and continued on. "East of the North Block, you'll see the parking lot. SeeD use the cars for missions only. The training center is located in the East Block. This place has live T-Rexuars and Grats inside. You can brush up on your skills here but take serious caution while entering." She continued walking around the East Block. " Finally, south of the East Block, you'll find the library. You can find very useful information about issues and events happening around the world. Any questions?"

"Could you explain more about the GFs?" Raye inquired.

"Sure. You can teach a GF a trick by selecting what trick you want it to learn and acquire the required Ability Points. Another way you can teach a GF a trick is by refining an item and giving it to them. You can also make a GF forget abilities by feeding it Amnesia Greens. As you become stronger, your GFs become stronger by gaining Experience Points. Any questions?"

"I'm assuming the AP and EXP comes from defeating monsters," Amy noted. Quistis nodded.

"When do we get our GFs?" Kento asked.

"Actually, you can get them tomorrow. From the Main Hall, head straight to the elevators. Ride the elevator to the 2nd floor and head to your right. My classroom is located there. You can retrieve your GFs from the study panel in your desk." She started to walk towards the elevator, but stopped. She faced the students. "I forgot to mention something. Headmaster Cid Kramer is over the garden and his office is located on the 3rd floor. You'll need permission to see him. Also, your first mission is September 20 in Dollet. They'll make the announcement about where you're supposed to meet, and what time. Right now, you have the opportunity to become acquainted with the facilities available here. This is your free time. Please use it wisely."

"Thanks," Mina replied. She waited until Quistis entered the elevator. "I've got to drop off my bags. These things are heavy."

"Same here but I've got to check out the library afterwards. I wonder what kind of books are there," Amy replied.

"Amy, I'll go with you," Rowen added.

Everyone headed to the dormitory and dropped off their belongings. Serena and Mina unzipped their backpacks to reveal Luna and Artemis inside. The fur balls jumped out and walked with the others. While heading back, they ran into Squall and Seifer.

"Seifer!!" Serena shrieked. Her brown ponytail bobbed as she ran towards him and gave him a hug. Everyone else was too busy talking to Squall.

Cai watched the couple talk for a while. Serena turned pale when Seifer told her some bad news and she ran down the hall. Seifer looked at her running figure and slapped his hand against his forehead in disgust. Cai snuck away from his friends and ran after her.

"Hey girls. Hi Lita," Squall greeted. Lita ignored him.

"Squall, how are you?" Mina asked. She studied the bandaged forehead. "What happened to your forehead?"

"Seifer and I were training when the tip of his gun blade caught my face."

"I know you have a splitting headache," Raye winced. He glared at her.

"Whatever." Squall turned to the girls' friends. "I didn't catch your names." The guys introduced themselves to him.

"We have to go. We'll see you later," Lita told Seifer and Squall.

"Are you all going on the Dollet Mission?" Squall asked them.

"Yes," Rowen answered.

"Well, see you then," Seifer replied, walking behind Squall to the Main Hall.

"I haven't eaten a thing for dinner. Why don't we head to the cafeteria now?" Kento whined.

"Come on," Raye said, following Kento.

"Wait a minute. Aren't we missing someone?" Lita asked. She counted the people. "Where's Serena?"

"And where's Cai?" Artemis asked.

"We've got to find them," Ryo replied.

Somewhere in front of Balamb Garden:

"Serena, wait up!!!" Cai called after her. She stopped near the front gate at the water fountain. She turned around and faced him.

"What do you want, Cai?"

"What did Seifer tell you?"

She sat on the edge of the fountain and he sat next to her. She stared at the water. "He broke up with me. He didn't give me an explanation why. I thought that we would be together forever." She swirled her fingers in the water.

"I'm sorry that happened. Just don't worry about it and put that situation behind you."

She looked at him and then looked at the water. She shook her head and walked up a few stairs and sat under a tree. He looked at his childhood friend and felt sorry for her. He followed her and sat in front of her.

"Serena, you know I'm right. I know it's hard for you right now, but trust me. You need to move on with your life. You'll find that special someone someday," Cai told her.

She twirled an orange oak leaf in her hand, letting his statement sink in. Even though she still had feelings for Seifer, she knew she that ending the relationship was for the best. `Cai is right,' she thought to herself. She looked at her friend and smiled. "I guess you're right. I need to move on and put that behind me."

He smiled back. "That's the spirit! Come on before the others start looking for us." They stood up and she hugged him.

"There you are!" Raye shouted.

Serena backed out of Cai's arms and looked at her friends. Both individuals were blushing. "Sorry about my disappearing," Serena whispered.

"What made you run off like that?" Amy asked.

"Seifer and I aren't an item anymore."

"First Lita and now you. Don't worry about it. Come on, let's go to the cafeteria," Mina said.

The girls headed to the cafeteria and the saw the rest of the guys standing in line. A blond head boy with baggy jean shorts, red and black sneakers, and a baggy red, black, and blue shirt ran into the cafeteria and accidentally ran into Mina. They both hit the floor.

"Are you guys all right?" Serena asked.

The boy helped Mina up and he dusted off his wardrobe. She inspected him through squinted eyes. "Zell? Zell Dincht is that you?"

The boy looked up. "Mina!! What are you and your friends doing here?" Zell asked her. He looked at the guys. "Hey guys, long time no see."

"What's happened since middle school bud?" Kento inquired.

"I'll tell you guys later." He faced the girls. "What brings you here?"

"We attend the garden," Mina answered. She looked at the side of his face. "Cool tattoo. When did you get it?"

"I can't remember. It was a long time ago." He turned around. "Serena, your best friend Selphie is here somewhere."

"Selphie Tilmitt is here?!!" He nodded.

They made to the front of the line.

"Are there anymore hot dogs left?" Lita asked the cafeteria lady.

The cafeteria lady looked up from the dishes. "I'm sorry. There aren't anymore."

Zell walked away and headed towards the dormitory. The others headed towards the Main Hall.

"How about you take us to the 7th Heaven restaurant back in Balamb? I know they have great food there," Raye suggested to the guys.

"Are you sure that's where you want to go?" Rowen asked. "Wouldn't you have to dress up?"

"We're sure about that and we definitely like dressing up," Mina responded.

"Dressing up isn't me," Ryo stated flatly.

"Come on Ryo. It'll be fun when everyone dresses up. Please?" Raye pleaded, giving him a sad, puppy face and blinking her violet eyes.

He looked at her and a smile slowly crept upon his face. "All right, all right. I'll do it." She smiled.

"What time are we going?" Cai asked.

The girls looked at Amy's watch. "It's 6:45 p.m. right now. We'll meet in front of the Parking Lot. We'll be ready to leave by 7:30. Does that sound okay?" Amy asked the guys.

"7:30 it is. See ya then," Rowen replied as he and the guys headed towards the dormitory.

Back in the NetherWorld:

"Zoysite, do you have a plan to gather energy for the Negaverse?" Queen Beryl asked her.

"Yes my queen. I've sent the Gemini Warriors to the restaurant called 7th Heaven. They're disguised as waitresses and serving the people there. Once there is enough people in the restaurant, the Gemini Warriors will perform a special act and gather the earthlings' energy."

"Quite interesting. Go and carry out your plan." Zoysite bowed and disappeared.

A portal appeared in front of Beryl and a figure appeared. "Have you gotten the Silver Imperium Crystal yet?" the impatient female voice asked.

"I'm sorry Sorceress Patsy. My henchmen are working on that. We'll have it for you."

"Do not fail me or I'll replace you with someone who'll get the job done." Queen Beryl winced. The portal closed and the sorceress disappeared.

Back at Serena and Amy's dorm:

The girls had their hair in a neat bun at the nape of their necks. Serena's wardrobe was a long black skirt, black heels, and a dressy baby blue sleeve shirt. Mina's wardrobe was a short black skirt, a long-sleeved orchid wrap shirt, and black heels. Amy and Lita's wardrobe were black dressy pants, black heels, and sleeve shirts. Amy's shirt was royal blue while Lita's was burnt orange. Raye's wardrobe was a knee-length black skirt, a red v-neck blouse and matching red heels.

"Are we ready?" Raye asked, heading out Mina's room.

"Yeah," Lita replied, grabbing her black purse.

Entrance to the Parking Lot:

The guys stood in front of the Parking Lot, waiting on the girls. The guys had on semi-formal black suits. Rowen looked at his watch.

"What time is it?" Kento asked his friend.

"It's 7:25. They should be here shortly," Rowen replied, looking down the west wing.

Five females appeared around the corner with smiles on their faces.

"Wow. You guys look nice. Are you guys ready?" Serena shouted.

"Of course. You guys look beautiful," Kento replied. The girls smiled.

"But first, let's take some pictures," Amy said, holding a camera.

The girls and guys took individual pictures. Next, the girls took a group picture and the guys did the same. Lastly Sage and Lita, Rowen and Amy, Mina and Kento, Cai and Serena, Raye and Ryo took couple pictures.

"Who's riding with me?" Ryo asked as Kento tossed him the keys.

"How about Lita and I will take my car and the rest can ride with you," Sage suggested. Lita raised an eyebrow. "I need talk to her."

`What is he up to?' she thought to herself.

"If you insist Sage. Let's go," Ryo said as he headed to his sport utility vehicle.

Sage and Lita loaded in his dark green Acura Legend as the others entered Ryo's black Lincoln Navigator. They exited the parking lot and headed towards Balamb City.

"Are you okay from last night's incident?" Sage asked her as he shifted from 3rd to 4th gear.

"I still couldn't believe that happened but I'm okay. You just surprised me by doing something like that." She looked at him closely. "What about you?"

"I'm all right. I guess it happened because I couldn't stand seeing you like that. How about we try to put the situation behind us?" They stopped at a stoplight and he looked at her.

She nodded her head. `Even though it'll be hard for me to do so.'

He smiled. `This is probably for the best, even though I can't guarantee that it won't happen again.'

They pulled up at the 7th Heaven and parked next to each other. The lady at the counter greeted them as they entered the restaurant.

"Welcome to 7th Heaven. I'm your waitress Tammie. How many people and what section?"

"Ten people and the non-smoking section," Ryo answered.

The waitress led them to their table. The guys pulled out the chairs for the girls and they sat down. The waitress handed them the menus and gave them time to think about their orders while she retrieved their drinks.

"I started feeling very bad vibes from her. Something big is about to happen," Raye cautioned the others.

"Same here. Everyone keep your guard up," Sage advised, feeling the hairs on the back of his neck rising.

Tammie returned with the drinks and everyone gave her the orders. She walked towards the kitchen. A girl that looked like Tammie stood on the stage in front of the restaurant.

"Welcome to 7th Heaven. I'm Tamira and I would like my twin sister Tammie to help me with the act. Tammie, if you can hear me, please come to the stage immediately. I hope you'll love our performance."

The crowd applauded as Tammie joined her sister on stage. A crystal ball appeared in the center of the ceiling.

"I'm starting to feel mega vibes from the both of them," Raye whispered.

"Be ready for anything," Kento warned.

"We would like for everyone to look at my sister do this amazing trick," Tammie shouted.

Everyone stared at Tamira as a curtain covered her body. Once the curtain lifted she had transformed into a red monster with a long tail. People around them screamed and ran to the nearest exits, but they were sealed tight. Tamira transformed to an identical monster except she was blue. The crystal ball spun around and crystal dust landed on the people and started absorbing their energy. The monsters laughed.

"Quick, under the table," Rowen shouted over the screaming.

Everyone ducked under the table. They watched as the people fell to the ground like flies.

"Queen Beryl will be most pleased with the energy we've gathered. Now we've got to get the Imperium Crystal from that Moon brat," the blue warrior replied.

"We need to transform and stop them," Lita told to the others.

They quickly transformed and the Ronin Warriors charged towards the red warrior. She dodged all of them and landed on a nearby table.

"Where did they come from?" the red warrior asked her accomplice.

"I don't know. I thought we had everyone."

"Nevermind that, we need to get rid of them."

"Who are you?" Mercury asked the monsters.

"We are the Gemini Warriors and that's all you need to know. Hand over the crystal Sailor Moon," the blue warrior ordered.

"She'll never give you the crystal," Strata retorted, aiming an arrow at them.

"We didn't ask you Robin Hood!"

"We don't have the advantage in here. We need to go outside," Halo shouted.

Jupiter and Hard Rock broke down the door and the other Scouts and Ronins ran outside. The monsters followed them and they jumped into the air.

"Jupiter Thunder Crash Zap!" Jupiter shouted.

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!" Venus shouted. The two attacks combined together and hit the blue Gemini warrior.

"Gotcha!" Mars shouted.

The dust cleared and she was still standing there. The other warrior jumped into the air and threw boulders at the Scouts.

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" Mercury counterattacked. The boulders froze and shattered when they hit the ground.

"Super Wave Smasher!" Torrent shouted.

"Thunderbolt Cut!" Halo added. Torrent's attack stunned the red warrior as Halo's attack stunned the blue warrior.

"Now Sailor Moon!" Mars shouted.

Sailor Moon nodded and held the Moon Scepter in the air. "Moon Scepter Elimination!"

Both monsters turned into ashes. The Scouts and the Ronins ran into the restaurant and checked on the people. They watched as the crystal ball restored the energy back to the people. Both groups smiled at each other and transformed back into their clothes.

Back at the NetherWorld:

"Zoysite, you've failed me," Queen Beryl scorned her.

"I'm sorry my queen. It won't happen again. I'll work on my second plan immediately."

"You better make sure that we get that Silver Imperium Crystal. Is that understood?"

"Yes my queen." She bowed and disappeared.

A portal appeared in front of Beryl and Sorceress Patsy stood in front of her. "What is taking you so long to get that damn crystal?!!" she gritted through her teeth.

"Zoysite's plan was unsuccessful."

"It should be easy for you to get it from that klutzy Moon brat! My goodness, she's only a teenager." She impatiently paced the floor. "Sorceress Ultimecia will have my ass if you don't get that Imperium Crystal!" She stopped and glared at Queen Beryl. "You have a few more chances left and if I don't get that crystal in my hands, your ass will be destroyed and replaced by someone else. Is that understood?"

"Yes."
