Romeo and Juliet – FF7 and 8 style!

Hey, it's the first time doing this kinda fanfiction stuff! Yep, this is a very changed version of Romeo and Juliet. Well, not as if I did Romeo and Juliet in Literature. I suppose that more people know the story. Well, sorry to say, this is not like a normal story where there is actually a real plot. It's just a story about the people in Final Fantasy 7 and 8 doing a play on Romeo and Juliet. With lots of cuts, and additional stuff, I hope you enjoy my story!

Chapter 1 – Prelude

"What?!?" Squall exclaimed.

"Yeah, the residents of Balamb want us to put up and item for their upcoming Christmas Celebration! And I wanted to do this! Can we please, can we please?" Selphie begged Squall. The both of them are at the bridge in Balamb garden.

Squall threw the stack of script onto the table. He couldn't believe what Selphie just wanted him to consent. She wants to put up a play on Romeo and Juliet for the Balamb's Christmas Celebration!

"What about the costs? The costumes? Who is acting? How? What... What IS this Rodeo and Juliette?"

"ROMEO and Juliet," Selphie shook her head. "Seriously, do you read at all? It's one of the best classics from Shakespeare! And as for the rest, let me handle it!"

'Precisely what I'm afraid of.' Squall thought. Speaking again, "Well, if you promised to do a good job and not give me any trouble, you may."

"Really? Thank you SOOO much! But there is one thing,"

"Yeah?"

"You see, I haven't been able to recruit people from garden to join our drama club. So actually... I was wondering through the play I can also try and attract people to sign up for the drama club! So..." Selphie displayed those puppy eyes. "Can you also act together with the others?"

Squall widens his eyes. "Get out!"

"I won't till you say yes!"

"Get out!"

"If I go out now, I will tell everyone that you have secret fantasies about Rinoa!!!" With that, she started walking towards the door.

"Hey! WAIT! It's not..." Squall called. Selphie stopped, and he whispered. "How did you know?" Now it's Selphie's turn to widen her eyes.

"You mean it's real??"

Squall flushes and stammered. "Erm... no... you can go now..."

"Squall is having fantasies about Rinoa!"

"NO!"

"Then agree"

"Tch... FINE! NOW! GET OUT!"

Selphie grinned from ear to ear and skipped out of the bridge before Squall decides to throw his gun blade at her. When she left, Squall thought about what he've gotten himself into. It was a month after the defeat of Ultimecia. And ever since that kiss during the celebration (Author's Note: I think they did. If they did, spoiler! Go play to find out!), neither of them made the first move.

Yeah, he's a guy and he should make the first move, but... with all the responsibilities of commander burdening him, it's hard to even breathe. Headmaster Cid has retired, sort of. He's just going to stop and take a break. He wondered about the play. What's the play about? He got up and headed to the library.

"Squall! Wait up!" Squall turned around. It was Rinoa and Quistis. For a while, he thought he was entranced (again) by her sunny smile. Quistis gave him a "Stop-staring" look and he jerked himself back to reality.

"Go back to the bridge! Selphie is meeting us there!"

'How did she get in?' Ignoring that thought, he followed them to the bridge. Selphie was inside already, with Irvine, Zell and...

"Seifer?" Squall exclaimed in disbelief.

Seifer smirked. Ever since he was taken back to Balamb, he was rather changed. However, he couldn't resist to rebel against Squall once in a while.

"What? Is it a crime to be called by Selphie?"

"I... Selphie! How did u get in anyway?" Squall turned to her.

She smiled to herself. "Secret!"

"Ok, cut all the jokes," Quistis interrupted. "What do you want us here for?" And Selphie told all of them about the play. Rinoa gushed as she starts remembering all the quotes and phrases, Quistis raised her eyebrows, Zell's jaw literally dropped, Irvine was confused and Seifer started to walk out.

"Hey, please come back! I promise that it will be really fun! It's not as bad as you think! Really!" She started explaining the gist of the story and soon, everyone was interested. Even Squall.

'It's not that bad after all, I think. Imagine. Rinoa is Juliet and I am Romeo.' He thought.

"Hello? Earth to Squall! You there?" He looked up at Selphie. "So are you with the whole thing? Can you do that announcement to Balamb? Details will be given tomorrow. Oh, and about the intruding, the headmaster's office's door was still open, so I got in again! You are not angry right?" She gave a grin.

Squall gave a small smile and said, "Yeah I will give the announcement."

Hi you people! Hope you like the chapter! I suddenly don't know what to write, so review! Byeeee!
