Disclaimer: You all know the shpiel. I own nothing. Ever heard that
old Ace of Base (Yes I sometimes listen to Ace of Base, so?) song
called Barely Turning 18? There was that line, well, you'll see it.
I don't own any of the songs here... Creed, Lou Bega, Bon Jovi,
and Ace of Base do...
NOTE: This my B-day story. Yup, 2day's my B-day + I jus wrote this,
18, yay!

Irvine, Squall, Seifer, and Zell sat in the Cafe talking.

"See, getting women is all in the walk." Irvine smiled and tipped
his hat at a young SeeD cadet walking past. She smiled and he nodded.
Zell shook his head.

"If that was true, women would be all over me."

"Well, thats cause you don't have a theme song Chicken-Wuss."

"Theme song?"

Squall and Irvine looked at him in amazement.

"....You don't have one?" Squall asked eyes fixed on him.

"No! I mean, come on, how can you have a theme song?" Zell looked at
all of them.

"When you walk, if you walk the right way, music just, well, starts
playing. Haven't you ever watched Ally McBeal? Whenever the dork does
that thing the Barry White song starts and women are all over him."
All three of them stared at Irvine. "I mean, thats what I've heard."
They all kept staring. "ALL RIGHT! I WATCH ALLY MCBEAL! BUT ONLY
BECAUSE CALLISTA'S HOT! ITS NOT LIKE I LEARNED EVERYTHING I KNOW FROM
FINCH!"

Seifer squinted at him. "She's not hot, she's a skeleton. Zell,
watch." Seifer moved to the middle of the cafeteria. He started his
confident normal swagger. Suddenly... out of nowhere...

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

-------------------------

Suddenly, Fujin, Rinoa, Quistis, and a small crowd
of other girls ran up and crowded around him. Seifer pulled Quistis
out of the crowd and walked her back to the other guys with him.
She turned and stuck her tongue out at the other girls, then happily
trotted back with him.

"See Chicken-wuss? Easy."

"... Yeah. Watch." Squall, not to be outdone by his rival, walked to
the center. He stopped and thought for a moment. Then he slowly,
moved forward, conveying his normal hero man in charge attitude....

-------------------------

Although I would like a world of change
it helps me to appreciate those nights and those dreams
But my friend, I'd sacrifice all those nights
if I could make the earth and my dreams the same
The only difference is
to let love replace all our hate

So lets go there
Lets make our escape
Come on lets go there
Lets ask can we stay

Can you take me higher
To a place where blind men see
Can you take me higher
To a place with golden streets

-----------------------------------

A decent sized crowd of SeeD women ran up, when
suddenly they all were tossed aside by a huge gust of wind. Rinoa
walked up and smiled at Squall. He smiled back, then kissed her
cheek. He extended his arm and she took it, and the two walked back
to the group.

"It doesn't look that hard." Zell said, looking down at the notes he
had written. "I think that I copied all I need to know."

Irvine stepped forward. "No man! You can't just learn this! Its...
its embedded deep within your soul!"

"Amen brother." Said Seifer. Squall smiled again.

"Boy, you've only looked at the minor leaguers now." Squall and
Seifer looked oddly at him and drew their gunblades. "No offense now
boys, but even though you do have some skills, its true, its true,
you're just not in my league yet." Squall and Seifer nodded to admit
defeat, then put away their gunblades.

-------------------------------

One, two, three,four, five
Everybody in the car, so come on
Let's ride to the liquor-store around the corner,
The boys say they want some gin and juice
But I really don't wanna beerbust like I had last week
I must stay deep because talk is cheap
I like Angela, Pamela, Sandra and Rita
And as I continue you know they are getting sweeter
So what can I do I really beg and you my Lord
To me flirting it's just like sport, anything fly
It's all good let me dump it
Please set in the trumpet

A little bit of Monica in my life,
a little bit of Erica by my side
A little bit of Rita is all I need,
a little bit of Tina is what I see
A little bit of Sandra in the sun,
a little bit of Mary all night long
A little bit of Jessica here I am,
a little bit of you makes me your man

-----------------------------------

A huge crowd of women and girls of all ages
surrounded Irvine. Selphie jumped up and down near the back, then
pushed her way to the center.

"Slot! Rapture!" All the women and girls grew little pink wings and
floated away. Selphie formed a deathgrip on Irvine's hand, and the
two of them walked back to the group.

"Okay Chicken-Wuss, try it." Zell made an obsene gesture at Seifer
then walked toward the center. He did his little shadow-boxing
routine took a deep breath, and started to walk...

---------------------------------

Reality reality reality is always
You've tattoed yourself what a piece of art
You've already broke your mother's heart
when I was your age working my ass off
- Your generation's soft

Reality is always such a drag
For barely bloomin eighteens
The barely bloomin eighteen wants to know
Whats keeping her from searching...

----------------------------------

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" All of the group were laughing
their heads off. Even students had gathered just to watch and giggle.

"Hey Zell, I need an icebreaker for the Garden Festival. Wanna come
and walk on stage for us?" Selphie said while giggling. Everyone
walked off, except for Squall and Rinoa. He started to walk away, but
Rinoa told him to wait and she walked over to Zell.

"Its okay, don't feel bad, it'll come to you. Bye!" She ran off with
Squall. Zell shook his head and started to walk off....

----------------------------

He's everything you want
He's everything you need
He's everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
He says all the right things
At exactly the right time
But he means nothing to you
And you don't know why

You're waiting for someone
To put you together
You're waiting for someone to push you away

There's always another
Wound to discover
There's always something more you wish he'd say

But you'll just sit tight
And watch it unwind
It's only what you're asking for
And you'll be just fine
With all of your time
It's only what you're waiting for...

Out of the island
Into the highway
Past the places where you might have turned

You never did notice
But you still hide away
The anger of angels who won't return

I am everything you want
I am everything you need
I am everything inside of you
That you wish you could be
I say all the right things
At exactly the right time
But I mean nothing to you
And I don't know why

-------------------------------

Zell heard a rumbling. He looked down at a glass of
coke on one of the tables. Ripples were forming in the water. He
turned back and looked. A flood of women were racing towards him. They
all crowded around.

"HEY GUYS! LOOK! LOOK WHAT I DID!" He noticed they were all out of
range. ~Ah, hell with them.~ He though as he put his arms around two
of his new women. "Helloooooooo Ladies."

--------

[The End]

See! I gave Zell a nice happy ending o^-^o and he didn't get hurt at
all either. Well, maybe a little ego bruising, but I think all his
women will help fix that.
