***The Final Fantasy VIII Twelve Days of Christmas***
As we join are lovable Final Fantasy VIII characters, they have all gathered in the ballroom of Balamb Garden, in the hopes of giving Squall some actual Christmas spirit.
Selphie- Welcome everyone! This is Selphie Tilmitt, and I've just come up with the perfect way to get Squall into a jolly Christmas mood!
Squall- ......whatever.
Seifer- Can we go now?
Selphie- NO! We can't leave till we put a holiday smile on Squall's face!
Zell- You crazy?! This could take all year!
Selphie- No it won't, I've got just the thing. *pulls out stack of note cards from her back pocket*
Irvine- What are those, Sefie?
Selphie- I wrote a 12 Days of Christmas song, and I've got a verse for everyone!
*everyone looks from one person to the other, contemplating routes of escape*
Rinoa- Ehhh.....Selphie.....
Selphie- *ignoring protests as she passes out the cards* Now, everyone take your card, and sing your part when it comes.
Squall- *staring at the card in his hand marked #1* I don't sing.
Quistis- Come on, Squall, it won't be so bad. *whispering* ...and it'll keep us from having to eat that fruit cake she made for later.
Squall- *convinced* Maestro?
*Selphie whips out a huge boom box from behind her back*
Irvine- Where could you possibly have been hiding that?
Selphie- Dimensional pockets. Duh. *hits play* Take it away Squall!
Squall- *unenthusiastically* /On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me, an actual personality/ *realizing what he's just sang off of the card* Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!
Selphie- Next!
Rinoa- *with a lovely soprano voice* /On the second day of Christmas my true love gave to me, two angel wings/

Squall- /And an actual personality/
*As Seifer and Zell fight, Selphie stops the tape, walks over to them, and grabs them each by the ear in mid strike*
Selphie- NO FIGHTING! WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE MERRY!
Zell- ow ow ow! I'll be good, I'll be good!
Selphie- Seifer?!
Seifer- Damn you messenger girl! Let go of my ear!
Selphie- *tightening her grip and getting right in Seifer's face* WANT TO SAY THAT AGAIN?!

Selphie- *VERY sweetly* Thank you, boys. Let's keep going, shall we?
*turns on boom box*
Selphie- Next!
