Disclaimer: I do not own FFVIII. To Squall: I'm sooooo sorry for making fun of you like this, you know I absolutely love you to death! Warning: Complete OOC for poor Squally ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For the most part it was a normal day in Balamb garden. Zell in his usual seat in the cafeteria. Irvine off somewhere. Selphie off somewhere with her camcorder (probably after Irvine, America's Funniest Home Video's always needs more!) Quistis was playing cards with a few students. Rinoa was talking to Dr. Kadowaki (Don't ask me what she was talking about, she never told me.) And Squall was blowing off steam in the Training Center.

Well, make that he was in the Training Center. We can currently find him crying his eyes out on Rinoa's shoulder.

"What is wrong with him?!" Dr. Kadowaki mouthed to Rinoa. Rinoa shrugged.

"What's wrong Squall?"

"The Big... mean Grat...h- hit me with it's tentacly thingy!" He managed to spit out between sobs.

This official scared the shit out of Rinoa. She wanted him to be more open, but this was too much. She decided this was all a big joke and started to play along. "Awww, baby. Show me where it hurts." Squall lifted his bleeding hand. "Awww, can Dr. Kadowaki make it all better?" Squall nodded. Dr. Kadowaki bandaged it up and sent Squall on his way.

"What was all that about?"

"I have no clue, I thought he was playing a joke. But now, I'm not so sure if he's all right in the head..." *** *** *** ***

From a bush, Selphie tapes Irvine pushing a kid a swing. "This isn't funny, this is just odd...."

Squall walks up to Irvine, "What are you doing?" Irvine jumped at Squall's voice.

"Squall you got to help me! I'm being blackmailed by this little kid!"

"Faster! Higher!" shouts the little kid, "Or I'll-"

"NO!" Irvine pushes the kid more.

"I'll help." Squall pushed the kid on the swing. Irvine took his chance and walked away shouting his thanks without a second thought. Then, a few feet away he stopped dead in his tracks and turned around, his mouth gaping open in disbelief and possibly horror. Then he ran away as quickly as possible.

Selphie was falling asleep waiting for the kid to kick Irvine by accident, when she was suddenly shocked awake when Squall appeared. Her eyes went from drooping to wide and bug eyed when Squall took over pushing the kid. Upon pressing zoom she found Squall smiling and laughing as if he was having the greatest time in his life. She ran with the tape in her hands to find Rinoa.

Meanwhile, Squall had gotten the kid to push him on the swing and was thoroughly enjoying it.

After playing on the swings Squall had worked up an appetite so he headed down to the cafeteria. Ordering a large amount of hotdogs he joined Zell.

"I thought you didn't eat that much, Squall." Zell said between bites.

"I bet I can eat more than you!" with an attitude of someone who thins they know everything.

"You're on!"

After several hours of hotdog after hotdog, Squall was victorious, and Zell was left feeling queasy. After a good vomit he started to look for everyone.

Quistis accomplished in gaining 50 new cards from her victims, when Squall came into view. "Hey! Squall! Would you like to join me for a quick game of cards?"

"Huh? Cards? That'll be great! Of course I will!" His eyes sparkled with enthusiasm.

Strange reaction, Quistis thought to herself. "Okay, you can start."

"All right! For my first move I put out the most awesomest card in all of Triple Triad.....ME!" He slammed his card down on the playing field. When Squall was done admiring his card he looked up to find a flurry of cards and a missing Quistis. "She most have fled because of my awesome card playing abilities." He gave his most triumphant look.
