Chapter 21: Talk

Erin stared contently at the plate sitting in front of her. She was trying to figure out what to ask Edea first. The only reason she had brought Edea along was so that she could ask some questions.

She picked up her grilled cheese sandwich and took a bite out of it. When she had finally swallowed, a nagging question came into her mind that she had to ask.

Erin looked over at Seifer. He smiled at her, and then went back to his lunch.

~~

Edea looked at the two Siri's sitting at the table, along with the rest of the group. Erin looked at Seifer, and then looked at Edea. Edea smiled calmly, which made Erin start to smile as well.

"Edea, may I ask you a question?" Erin finally said.

"Of course child," Edea replied.

"Well, I was wondering... umm... What happens when... a Siri falls in love with a regular human?" Erin asked.

Everyone stared at her, but Edea remained calm.

"Well, that is perfectly acceptable. However, the first three children born must bear the Siri name. Any children born after that obtain the fathers last name," Edea explained.

~~

"Oh I see..." Erin mumbled before going back to eating her sandwich.

~~

Soran had a nagging question in the back of his mind, and he just had to ask it. He looked at Edea, getting ready to ask it.

"Edea... I was wondering what happens when a Gira and a Fari fall in love with each other...?" Soran asked.

Now it was everyone's turn to look at Soran in surprise. Even Shaina was shocked by the statement, but she had been planning to ask the question eventually.

"Well, that has never before happened in history, but it depends. If they have two boys, then that's all that they are required to have. But like I said before, each child must have at least one male to uphold the name," Edea explained.

~~

"I'm guessing that's because both of those names need to be held, correct?" Aires asked.

"Yes, Aires. Both names need to be upheld. In the Siri's case, the more, the better. That's why the first three children born under a female Siri must hold the Siri name, just in case," Edea replied.

~~

"Oh, I see…" Erin stated.

Suddenly the intercom announced throughout the school.

"Would Squall Leonhart, Quistis Trepe, Selphie Tilmitt, Irvine Kinneas, Rinoa Heartilly, Zell Dincht, Seifer Almasy, Erin Siri, Aires Sir, and Edea please report to the Infirmary ASAP. And I mean now, all of you!"

"Oh man, what now!" Erin stated, a power of fear radiating in her voice. Everyone got goose bumps from what she said, and she gave them all a look that said, `I'm sorry! I really didn't mean too!'

Everyone got up from their chairs and rushed towards the Infirmary as fast as they could go.

A/N: Whee, awful cliffhangers, I know! Yes, this chapter is extremely short. Oh yeah, Phoenix Blade asked me something that got me thinking while I was talking with her earlier. She asked if I was going to do a sequel to this story. Well, it all depends on how this plays out, and if it plays out right, there will be. In fact, I have this nagging idea in my head for it. Now, let's just hope I can hold onto that idea until I finish, as I have no idea what to even call it. So, ideas are welcome, so go ahead and review (please? pretty please? with a cherry on top?) and let me know what you think of all my original characters, this explanation about the Siri's, about anything related to this story! Flames are welcome, as long as the person reviewing has a really good explanation as to why they are giving me the flame! (And I won't give up til I hear a convincing story!) Yes, I know you are probably tired of my ranting, so I'll let you go. Remember, the review button isn't even an inch away, so why can't you hit it? Too scared to or something? OK, I think I'll shut up now.
