After the End

~~

A/N: Ok, so no more reviews, but I just felt like writing this! Just so you know, this might turn out to be a Seifer/Erin fic. That came out unexpectantly, considering I just started writing this again a few days ago!

Chapter 6: Meeting Erin

Erin ran back to her dorm room and shut the door behind her. She locked the door, and then started to change into her regular clothes. When she had pulled on her shirt, she grabbed her jean jacket.

She walked over to the mirror, and stared at her reflection. Finally, she decided to pull her hair back.

"The last thing I want is to get hair in my way," she mumbled to herself.

~~

Seifer stood patiently outside her door.

"Why is it that I'm so attracted to her, and why in the world am I being so nice to her!" he stated to himself in a whisper.

He heard the door open and out walked Erin. He looked her over, noting almost the exact style as Squall, yet it was different.

He caught her looking at him. "What?" she asked.

"You look nice," he stated, and then started out for the Garden's entrance.

"Thanks," she said, running to catch up with him.

~~

Squall watched as the trainees went over battle formation for about the 20th time. Finally, he spoke.

"Ok, good. Now, we need to wait for our next orders from the Headmaster," Squall explained to everyone outside.

The trainees all nodded their heads, set their weapons down, and started to talk amongst themselves.

~~

Laguna looked back. He heard footsteps running to get outside. In the distance, he saw two people who were gaining on them fast. He started to reach for his machine gun, but then he recognized one of them as Seifer.

"Squall, looks like we have company," Laguna whispered to his son.

~~

Squall turned around to see who was coming. He saw two people running towards them. One of them was Seifer; the other was a teenage girl.

`Oh boy, now what,' Squall thought to himself.

There were soon footsteps behind him, and the rest of the group had come to see what was going on.

~~

"Come on, we're going to be late!" Erin shouted at Seifer as she started to pick up some speed.

"I know, but look a what's waiting for us!" Seifer shouted back.

Seifer was getting exhausted, and couldn't understand why Erin wasn't. `She must have some strong will to beat out me, or she's just really fast,' he thought to himself.

~~

Selphie started to run towards them to see what they wanted. When she was near enough to them, she stopped, and so did they.

"What do you want Seifer?" she asked, getting upset.

"I was told to come out and help, and so was Erin," he stated.

"Erin? You mean her?" Selphie asked, looking at the teenager.

~~

"You must be Selphie Tilmitt. My name is Erin. I'm a gunblade master here at Garden," Erin explained.

"Wow, I didn't know we had someone else who did gunblade here!" Selphie said, getting exited.

She turned around, and then said to the two, "Follow me."

The three ran to the others, Selphie getting more and more excited by the minute. When they finally reached the others, they came to a stop.

"Everyone, this is Erin. She's a gunbladist here at Garden," Selphie introduced.

"The headmaster asked me to come out and help you guys. He also wants me to help with the final party that goes, whoever that might be," Erin explained.

~~

Squall walked in front of her. She was only a few inches shorter to him, perhaps about 5'7". "Are you a SeeD, or still a candidate?"

"I've graduated, so that makes me a SeeD," Erin answered.

`Great, now what. Cid never told us about her,' Squall thought to himself.

Erin looked at him. "What? Are you wondering why Headmaster Cid never mentioned me? It's because, well, not many have actually met me. I guess he didn't want to force me into something I didn't want to do, other than missions."

"Whatever…" Squall said.

A/N: Ok, I didn't do everyone, but I did do some basic info. I'm hoping to make Selphie and Erin close friends, and to have the Erin/Seifer relationship go somewhere. Please review!
