The attention now switches to a different set of events, to Laguna and his colleagues..
The guy with long hair is Laguna Loire, the well built one is Ward Zaback,
armed with a powerful Harpoon and the last one is Kiros Seagul, carrying two long swords.
The three are in the area to fight soldiers of the Timber army...
NOTE: At this moment of time, you will be able to access your G.F. Cards, Monsters, Magic. Laguna will have all Squall's commands that you have equipped. Ward will have all Zell's commands that you have equipped while Kiros will have all the commands that you have equipped on Selphie. They will also be able to fight the Diablo that has been trapped inside the Magic Lantern, given by Cid. In this section, you will encounter random battles in the grasslands.
The path is rather straightforward. Just simply walk along the track and head northeast. The path is surrounded by high grasslands and there's a draw point found along the path, so draw some magic from it. Now keep heading up and they will start talking about what a waste of time this is, so they make their way back to Deling City. Make an anticlockwise turn and you will find a draw point. Drain magic and enter the truck.
The truck will transport you to Deling City. Exit from the truck and head south. As you reach the city, you will find a hotel called 'The Galbadia Hotel'. At the main hall you will find a Save Point, so save your game. Head down the stairs found on the right of the main hall into the restaurant/bar area. Talk to the waitress wearing a blue dress in front of the piano, and she will offer you a seat so choose the second option to say thank you.
A lady dressed in red will come out and
play the piano. This is the girl who Laguna comes to watch, and her name is Julia.
You will see Laguna talking to his pals, Kiros and Ward and they
are telling him to say hello to her, but he is too nervous. Head across and talk
to Julia and Laguna will suddenly get cramp in his leg (he always gets cramp when he becomes
nervous). Next, Julia will
approach Laguna and have a short chit-chat, offering to Laguna to come upstairs.
Julia will move upstairs leaving Laguna in his thoughts. Now head back to the lady at the counter
and pick the first option. There you will see a brief talk between
Laguna and Julia (in her room!) where they talk about each other. The screen will then fade once again...
