  ~*~*~

  I tapped my fingers on the keyboard in the library while a frown darkened my expression. I'd tried all morning--it was 10:30 now and I was at work--but hadn't been able to crack into the computer at the ISP. The only thing I'd been able to do was make the guy nervous. I released a deep breath and leaned back in my chair with crossed arms. I hope Seifer and Zell have better luck at finding the guy than I did. If I couldn't have revenge for Quistis and Garden, then I could at least hope that they did.

  I looked at the clock on the wall with another sigh. Zell, I'm bored. Now that I'd passed the Fire Cavern and my field exam, all I had to wait for was the receipt of my diploma from Commander Squall tomorrow morning. I didn't have to study anymore. I didn't have to read manuals, or textbooks, or write essays and theory papers. All I had to do was administrate the library network and keep it running smoothly. That brought a slight smile to my face. No more studying. No more stressing. Just every day duties. It sounded pretty wonderful--

  A picture flashed onto the screen of Zell, Zone, and Seifer looking very proud of themselves. I blinked and sat up. Moments later I had notification of new mail. I quickly navigated to my e-mail box and opened the newest occupant.

  ‘Hey, Sally. Guess wat? We found the dude at the ISP responsble for cracking the network. Watever you did all morning kept the dude at his 'puter so we walked rite up to him. Seifer got ruff but I didn't want to take his fun. ^_^ Oh! Zone got a e-mail from Quis. What a shok huh? Zone neerly died when he red it. Chokd on his own spit. ^_^ funnyest thing I ever saw. Anyway, thot I'd let you no wat was going on. I shud be bak by lunch. Meet me in the cafeteria about noon? C'ya Zell’

  I smiled and archived the mail. Warm fuzzies reign on high!!
