Odd... I'm not acting odd
Dr. Kadowaki looked over her folder at Squall, who had just entered the infirmary. "How can I help you Squall?"
Squall looked a bit... odd, Dr. Kadowaki thought, must be stress.
"I... I don't know..." he collapsed into a chair and held his head in his hands. "I've been feeling... odd over the past few weeks... I have these... strange urges, and well..." he fell silent as Dr. Kadowaki put down what she was working on and looked at him properly... "Do go on." She said.
Squall started fidgeting, odd for him Dr Kadowaki thought, before saying, "Ever thought that you're now in control of your body?" Silence. "These weird cravings, I've been acting on them and I can't always remember what's happened." He swallowed hard before continuing, "I've been speaking to Rinoa more, not a bad thing I know but... you know what I'm like." Dr. Kadowaki nodded. "Also, I've taken to eating... food that you'd normally find Selphie eating, all sugary and sweet. I've been calling people 'Meanies' under my breath..." He snorted, trying to hide a laugh. "I think I'm losing it Doc. Is there anything you recommend??"
"Take it easy Commander, that's an order" Squall smiled as Dr. Kadowaki said this. "I'll tell Cid to lay off you for a few days. Chill, walk with Rinoa, just don't do any work.!" Dr. Kadowaki smiled, "You'll end up with more stress related problems than Cid if you don't slow down. And I didn't tell you that." They both grinned. Squall suddenly leapt from his chair, "Thanks Doc." He said before hugging her and bouncing out the room. Dr. Kadowaki shook her head. "Just like Cid I tell you." She muttered under her breath, before picking her files up again and resumed working.
Rinoa finally caught up with Squall in his room. "Where have you been?" She asked, and would have said more. Would have, if Squall hadn't kissed her. 'Wow', She thought, 'What's Squall been eating'. As he released her, she noticed he was smiling. "What?" she asked. "Nothing." He replied, grinning more, "It's just that I've got a couple of days off now, and I was thinking why don't we go off somewhere... alone." 'What's got into Squall?' Rinoa thought. "Well I can't right now..." Squall's face dropped, "But I'll see if I can speed things alone at the Committee meeting." Squall thought for a second, "Why don't I come alone?" Rinoa felt like she had been struck dumb, 'Squall OFFERING to help with the committee, OFFERING' "Sure why not?" Rinoa said after recovering quickly so Squall wouldn't notice. "Two hours time, normal place, you do know where that is don't you?" Squall nodded. "I'll see you there then." Rinoa left quickly, her brain working hard, wondering why Squall was acting so... caring? No... she shuddered when she realised that Selphie would act in a similar manner. 'We can barely handle Selphie, what would it be like if someone else acted like her?'
Squall smacked his head against the wall in his room 'Why did that have to happen when Rinny was in the room?? And why am I starting...' he stopped thinking, grinned, and got up to look through his wardrobe. 'not much here... what to wear, what to wear?' after careful consideration he decided to wear... 'BLUE... my favourite!!" Blue trousers (Jeans), blue t-shirt and a blue jacket. 'What else can I do? Still got an hour and a half to go... I know... I'll wait there.' He ran, grinning all the way to the Quad, where the stage had been re-built and was ready for the next committee party.
Selphie was in the Quad, thinking about the upcoming party she was planning with the committee, when she saw Squall. 'Rinoa said that he's acting a little odd, but he doesn't look different... except that he's wearing blue...' "Hi Squall" She half-screamed to him. "Hey Selph, What you up to?" 'weird,' Selphie thought, 'when did he start calling me Selph?? Oh well...' "Nothing... kinda. Trying to think about the theme for the party." Squall stuck his tongue out and pretended to think. "Why not a fancy dress... oh oh... and you've got to dress like you're partner would... so like you'd be dressed like Irvy, and he'd be dressed like you..." He laughed, Selphie looked at him for a minute and started giggling too. "Better than what I had planned," Selphie said, still giggling, "might have to use that!!"
"Only too glad to help" Squall said, smiling, "What am I gonna look like dressed as Rinny??" he giggled "And what on earth is Irvy going to look like dressed as you." They were both laughing hard when the rest of the committee arrived, early, for the meeting. Rinoa raised an eyebrow when she saw Squall and Selphie laughing 'Squall LAUGHING!! What's gotten into him?' Just then Squall looked up and saw Rinoa, "Rinny," He shouted and bounded over to her, hugged her and kissed her forehead. "Missed you." Rinoa grinned... 'I could get use to Squall like this...
::Why's Squall acting so odd?? What's going to happen to him next?? Will I end one of my own questions without two question marks?? Answers to some, all or indeed none of these questions will come with the next chapter... R&R or I'll set my chipmunk army against you... no really, I will!!
