After the End

~~

A/N: I'm finally back, and hopefully this turns out to be a good chapter! Ok, reviewing time…

bluejade27: Ok, I don't care if you agree with him. But thanks for reviewing anyway. And so you know, I'm nowhere near a beginner. If you saw my beginner works, you'd be laughing your head off they were so bad.

Anyways, onto the story!

Chapter 9: The Start of a Mission

Rinoa looked at her traveling companions. Almost the same ones as when she had helped defeat Ultimecia. Only difference know was the addition of two people, Erin and Seifer. Suddenly, a thought came to her.

"Hey, to save on tents, why don't the girls stay in one tent, then the boys in another?" Rinoa suggested.

"Fine, why didn't I think of that before… Whatever…" Squall stated.

Rinoa grinned proudly, then looked at Erin again. She seemed slightly down from this most recent decision. Rinoa grabbed her and pulled her behind the group.

"Hey, what's wrong? You seem so down!" Rinoa stated in a whispher.

"I do? Well, nothing's wrong if that's what your wondering," Erin replied.

Rinoa glared at her, then shook the idea. She ran to catch up with Selphie.

~~

"Hey Selphie," Rinoa said to her, "Can I talk to you?"

"Oh sure! Of course!" Selphie said, then followed Rinoa to where her and Erin had been just a few moments before.

"I was wondering. Do you think there's something wrong with Erin? She's acting even worse than Squall!" Rinoa stated matter-of-factly in a whisper.

Selphie looked at Erin, then back at Rinoa. "Yeah, something's definitely wrong. But what?"

"I don't know. She keeps on looking back at Seifer, and ever since I made that suggestion, she's seemed really down," replied Rinoa.

"Let's talk with her tonight. Maybe we'll get some answers…" stated Selphie, then walked back to her post next to Irvine.

Squall looked around for any signs of monsters. Suddenly, he heard big footsteps behind the group. They all turned and were faced by a T-Rexaur.

He drew his gunblade and got ready to fight.

~~

Erin stared at the T-Rexaur that now faced them. She sighed, then silently drew her gunblade out. She saw Seifer doing the same thing.

When everyone looked ready in her opinion, she started to run towards the gigantic monster. When she got near enough, she pulled the gunblade through the monsters stomach, pulling the trigger as she did. When it came out, she had just one word to say before she was pulled back.

"Ew!"

Squall attacked the T-Rexaur with his gunblade. Laguna started shot at it with his gun, as did Irvine. The beast went down quickly, much to everyone's surprise. Erin sighed as they continued onward.

~~

"So, anyone have any idea where we are even going?" Zell asked as they were nearing Balamb.

"No. Hey, it's getting late. Instead of setting up tents, why don't we go stay in Balamb?" Irvine suggested.

Zell glared at him. "Well, I need to go visit Ma, so I'm up for that."

They all started running towards Balamb in order to get there before it got dark.

As they entered Balamb, they all stared in shock at what they saw.
