What can I say?  Today was a busy day today.  I had my meeting at Michigan works, a trip to the credit union, and got a hair cut.  All in all, it was quite busy.  I am now going to call it a night.

Today’s high is going to be 43 degrees and the silver lining is getting my hair cut.

To those of you who like having shorter hair, I hope that you all have a fantastic day.

 

*everybody exits Galbadia Garden and waits at the front gate for Headmaster Martine*

Oh!  It’s him!  Let’s all pretend that I’m a SeeD, too.  It will be less complicated that way.

Rinoa:  That’s what I was thinking!  Everyone!  Pretend that Kyle and I are SeeD’s!

*everyone nods and salutes as Martine approaches the group*

Martine:  Good day. I have official orders from Headmaster Cid addressed to you. Following regulations, I have gone over these orders. After careful consideration of our options, we have decided to fully assist and cooperate with Headmaster Cid. Actually, we too, have been planning this for quite some time now. In order to stress the importance of this mission, I must first brief you on the current situation. At ease. You all know about the sorceress being appointed as the peace ambassador for the Galbadian government. However, this ambassador thing is just a cover up. There will be no peace talks, only threats. The sorceress creates fear among people. Therefore, peace talks are impossible. Galbadia is planning to use fear to negotiate favorable conditions for itself. It is clear that Galbadia’s ultimate goal is world domination. Garden is no exception, either. It is a fact that the sorceress is planning to use this Garden as her base. …We have very few options available to us. We entrust world peace, and the future to you. Details of the mission are enclosed in these official orders.

*he gives the orders to Shower and Squall*

Martine:  Any questions?

Shower:  Yeah.  The orders say that the sorceress assassination requires the means of ‘a sniper’.  We have no one at Balamb Garden with that kind of skill.

Squall:  Shower’s right.  What do you propose that we with these orders if we have no sniper?  Hire one?

Martine:  Don’t worry about it. Let me introduce two elite sharpshooters from Galbadia Garden. O’Hara!  Annie O’Hara!  Kinneas! Irvine Kinneas!

*off on a knoll, a man and a woman dressed in Western attire stands up and approaches the team*

Martine:  This is Annie O’Hara and  Irvine Kinneas. They will be your sharpshooters. Leave whenever you’re ready. Failure is not an option.

*Martine gets into the car and Annie points at him*

Annie:  BANG!  BOOM!

Irvine:  BANG!

*Martine drives off*

Zill:  So tell me, Shower!  What are those orders?

Yeah.  What are those orders?

Quistan:  What is our mission?  Both Quistis and I are wondering.

Yukka:  So what’s our next mission, Shower and Squall?

Shower:  Our next mission… This is no ordinary mission. It’s a direct order from both Balamb and Galbadia Garden. We’re to… …assassinate the sorceress. We’re to shoot her from afar. O’Hara and Kinneas will be our sharpshooters. We’re to support O’Hara and Kinneas to our fullest. Should the snipers fail, we are to attack head on.

Annie:  I’m flattered, but who do you think you’re looking at?  I’m Annie freaking O’Hara!  I never miss my mark!  I can hit a small target 100 yards away!

Irvine:  You tell ’em, Annie!  Neither of us ever miss!

Shower:  Just listen to the mission, okay?  Eliminate the sorceress. That’s our order. We’re going to head to the capital of Galbadia, Deling City. There, we’ll meet up with General
Caraway to go over the details of the plan. Let’s get going.

Annie:  Well, we’re going to need to choose a party to Deling City.  I go with all the guys!  Irvine goes with all the girls!  How about that?

*both Shower and Squall sigh*

Shower:  How about not.  We’ll decide.  Kyle and Annie and come with me.  The rest can be the support team.

Squall:  Rinoa and Irvine can come with me.  All the rest of you can support us.

*everyone leaves Galbadia Garden to board a train for Deling City*
