Chapter 3: Trial by Flashback

Squall sat there. In the sleek mahogany chair adorning Cid's Desk. He gazed somewhat piercingly at the Prosecutor who just as quickly began speaking.

" Headmaster Cid, I asked that this be a private seating Trial so as to protect the Honor of Balamb." Cid raised his head for a moment and nodded, Then he went back to sulking. "Headmaster Cid, the following events took place: Two counts of assault, Seven counts of destruction of Balamb property, One count of public Indecency, and also The Firing of a weapon inside Balamb Grounds." She sat back down after reading the charges. Cid stood up.

"You may proceed counselor," Again Cid sat back down. The prosecutor stood and began pacing.

"Squall, if you would please describe in detail the events that lead up to the aforementioned charges." Squall looked over at the only other people in the room. Quistis, and Seifer. Quistis looked up and nodded at Squall.

" Well I had just found out that Seifer had propositioned Quistis to go on a date. Quistis refused leaving Seifer edgy. I adjourned to the showers in the male teachers Locker room. Quistis approached and we…" He trailed off.

"You what,?" The prosecutor asked.

"We had sex." Squall seemed ashamed by this. Just then brief flashes of a memory went through his mind. It was about five years ago. Squall had just come to Garden and was there for about a week. He had met Quistis and developed a boyish crush for her. He also learned of her current relationship.

It was late one night. Quistis was right near the dormitories walking with her boyfriend. Squall was near the door waiting for her to return. He peeked outside to see the two of them kissing. It was Quistis with an Instructor who does not work here anymore. Anyway, they were kissing when all of a sudden the Instructor moved his hand up Quistis's shirt. She quickly stepped back and told him she wanted to go.

Squall was getting very jealous. The instructor said he wasn't done yet when he grabbed her arm. Quistis slapped him. He smacked her onto the ground. Just then squall busted out of the room. He jumped up and kicked the instructor in the face. He fell to the floor clutching a broken nose.

With a steady stream of blood he got up and ran down the hall. Squall helped Quistis up as he saw tears rolling down her cheeks. She wiped them away. And led him into the room. "Why did you do that Squall? I could have handled him."

Squall apologized and they both eventually settled down. Quistis poured them both a cup of coffee and began talking. "Well Squall, I guess I will go without dating for a while. Just do this for me Squall, never let a woman cry. It is one of the worst things in the world for her. Never let her cry…never…" just then Quistis let small steady tears roll down her face. Squall saw this and got up to walk over to her. He hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. She smiled and kissed him back. He was surprised when she kissed his mouth.

He opened his eyes wide as she kissed him. She quickly let go and went to her room. "If only you were a little older Squall." Squall went to bed about ten minutes later and was sexually frustrated the entire night.

"Squall what happened after the initial sex?"

"Well, Seifer was standing there and I assumed he heard everything. He approached me with his Gunblade out and tried to kill me. I dodged his thrust and went to run out but he followed. I took the staircase and no one was around because they were all headed to their next classes. We got into a fight that eventually lead to him trying to shot me several times.

"We approached a push door and he rammed me through it. I fell on the ground in front of a few students, mostly female. They saw me naked but I got away pretty quick. I ran to my room and changed. About an hour later I had to talk to security." He stopped and went back to his chair. Cid called a recess to talk to Seifer. He confirmed all of Squalls story. An hour after that they returned.

"This is not easy," said Cid. "Squall, I find you guilty of conduct unbecoming an Instructor. And Quistis the same. You are both fined six weeks pay. As for Seifer… you assaulted another teacher and endangered the lives of other students. I can not allow you to stay. You are here by banished from Balamb. I am sorry."

Squall stood up in protest for about a second but sat down. Seifer simply stood and left. Later that day he went on his way from Balamb. Squall watched him go. Rinoa approached him facing the window. "Something you want to tell me?" She asked. Squall looked at her.

"Yes…
