When Zidane came to, he was lying in the middle of the floor. "That's weird," He sat up. "Last time I checked I was in my birdhouse."
"Are you alright, Zin-kun?" Eiko leaned over him, making him jump.
"Don't scare me like that!" Zidane yelled, standing up again. "Now, come on, we have work to do."
"Work? Can't we take a day off? We just solved one of life's mysteries!"
"Eiko, Justice never rests!"
"We aren't justice."
"So? The point is that we don't rest until this next question has been solved." Zidane went out of the room.
Eiko followed, asking, "What question?"
"What came first? The chicken, or the egg?" Zidane yelled back to her.
"Oh, great." Eiko crossed her arms, "Another one of Irvine's questions."
"Yup!" Zidane smiled. "And guess what we are going to do first! Interview eggs!"
"Huh?"
"You heard me! Now meet me by Raine's chicken house with the video camera, I'll get the rest of the props."
"Props?" But Zidane was already gone.

At exactly eight in the morning, Zidane and Eiko met at Raine's chicken house, just as planned. Eiko brought the camers, just as planned. Zidane brought the microphone and such, just as planned. They obtained an egg, just as planned. The egg didn't want to talk to them so early in the morning so they had to wait, not just as planned.
"Eikooooo," Zidane whined, "How much longer now?"
"Hush up you baby," Eiko spat, "It's only been about three minutes since you found out that the egg was dead, or asleep, or both. What ever! We hafta' wait until the egg wakes up!"
"When does the egg wake up?" Zidane asked the egg, holding the microphone out to it.
It went something like this:
Zidane: "Mr. Egg, can you tell me what came first?" He was talking into the microphone and Eiko was filming it. "You, or the chicken?"
Egg: Zidane held the microphone in front of it. "…"
"UH…" Zidane dropped the microphone, "It's no use! We need some one who's familiar with eggs and chickens and chicken crap and such shit."
"I thought crap was shit."
"It is! I'm just sayin' we need a farmer or something." Zidane began pacing like he always does when he's thinking. Finally, after what seemed like the whole day, he said, "I know! I know who we can ask, that one KFC guy! He knows lots about chickens."
"Right, cooking them and eating them!" Eiko pouted, "Any one else, other than him and Raine?"
"Why not Raine?"
"She doesn't want anything to do with this, she called me this morning."
"Wow." Zidane rolled his eyes, "Eiko knows how to work a phone."
"Oh, shut up! How do you know? Maybe Squall call … ed … I know who can help us … S-"
"Don't tell me! Don't tell me!" Zidane interrupted, "Santa Claus!"
"No, Squall, Raine can talk to chickens, and he's her kid, right?" Zidane nodded. "So it would only make sense if Squall could talk to eggs!" She began rummaging around in Zidane's backpack, "You brought my notetakingboardthatisstapledtotheclipboardboard, didn't you?"
"Uh, maybe, Irvine packed for me. I think that the only thing in there is his playboy magazines."
"Ew. I really don't know why you hang out with him."
"Whatever, let's go find Seifer."
"Squall."
"Whatever."
"Hey, Squall," Eiko asked with her most innocent voice, "Can you put this egg to your ear and ask it what came first?"
"What?" Squall looked up from where he was cleaning his gunblade. "Ask that egg a question?"
"Yeah, well, see your mom can talk to chickens, right? So me and Zin-kun thought it was only reasonable that you could talk to eggs, you're her kid and all." Eiko handed him the egg, and took out her notetakingboardthatisstapledtotheclipboardboard.
"Uh." Squall held the egg to his ear, "It says… It says…"
'This is it,' Eiko thought, 'so close now.'
And, as usual, something happened. Loz came in out of no where in particular, took one look at the egg, and thought, "Oh good, lunch."
Well, he ate the egg and then Eiko killed him in her fury, damaging Squall as well.
"GOD DAMMIT! WHAT IS IT WITH YOU NUMBER SEVEN PEOPLE, ALWAYS RUINING IT FOR US?"
"Okay, I have another egg," Squall said, after Loz was gone, "And it says …"
'This is it,' Eiko thought, 'Moment of Truth number two.'
