Disclaimer: I don't own any of the FF8 characters (duh, obvious isn't it?). I don't own them!!!!

Author's note: Here's my second fic (my first one was posted under my other penname, Boggart). This is Zell x OC, well, sort of....I dunno if you'll like it.... but please read and review!!! Hehe.... this is stupid, really!!!!! Mwahahahaha!!!!!!!!!

"The Friend"

"HHHHWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH.........." Zell yawned loudly, as he walked into the room for his first class. He sat down at the back of the room, feeling really sleepy. People around him were so noisy, he felt so irritated.

Suddenly, someone barged at the door. It was Irvine , closely followed by Seifer, and they were both wearing a very freaked out look on their faces.

"DUDE, YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH HER??!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!" Irvine yelled at Zell, looking horrified. Seifer was wearing a look of deep disgust on his face. Zell heard a faint "Wulaaahuuukkkkkkkkeeewaaaachhhaaaaccchahaa!!!!!!!!" outside the classroom door.

"Friends? With whom?!" asked Zell, looking puzzled.

"You know, Chicken-wuss, with HER!!!!" answered Seifer, emphasizing the word "her", as though it was the most vile word ever.

A girl's head with messy black hair poked inside the classroom door, between Irvine and Seifer's bodies. "Aaaabbbuuuuccchhiiillllaaacccchhaaaa!!!!" the girl screamed her head off, looking very happy.

"Oh!! Hi Rae!!! How are ya?!!" Zell greeted her happily, hurrying towards her, Irvine and Seifer. The two backed away, as far they could from Zell and the girl.

"What's your problem?!! Why're you so mean to her??!!" Zell defended the girl, looking very angry. People were now watching them. "You don't understand her!!!" he even added, glaring at the two.

"Dude!!!! No one can!!! Dammit, she's a freakin'.." Seifer started to say, but Irvine cut him off. "Uhh... how did you guys meet anyway??!!" Irvine asked Zell hastily, trying to change the subject, thinking it was better to talk to him nicely rather than start a fight with him.

"Well you see, guys, it all started......" Zell told them happily, as though reminiscing the best moment of his life......

*flashback*

"Hey, you come here often?"

"Baaawaakkkeeeellllaaaaccchhaaaa!!!!"

"Well... that's one....."

"Ghhheeennnngggaaaaayyyaaaccchhaaa!!!!"

"One thing in common!!!"

"Aaaaawwaaacchhaaaaa!!!!"

"Nice to meet you!!! So, you wanna be a SEED?!!"

"Kukkamuchawalakachuchuchaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"

"Cool! C'mon! Let's go to Balamb Garden so you can learn how to be a SEED!"

"Gwwwwaaaaakkkkaaammmooolllleeeeee!!!! Chaaaaa!!!!"

"Yay! C'mon! Let's go!"

*end of flashback*

"Uhhh... so you actually understood what she said?" Irvine asked Zell uncertainly when he finished telling his story.

"Of course I did!" Zell answered happily.

"Uhhhh....... O-K........ But dude, I gotta tell you... She's from Galbadia and she's a MAJOR FRREEEAAAAKKKK!!!!!" Irvine told Zell. He looked as though he never saw a guy so stupid as him.

"Yeah! He's right!!" Seifer butted in (A/N: How lame)

"Oh yeah?!!!! Give me proof!!" Zell demanded while looking at the girl, who was now eating something that looked horribly like dandruff.

"Ok... I was a student in Galbadia Garden and I know her!!! It all started when...." Irvine started to tell his story.....

*flashback*

"Hehehehe.... So many hot girls and so little time!!! Hey, that girl looks so innocent and cute!! I'll check her out..." Irvine muttered to himself,smirking, as he started to approach the girl, "Hi! My name's Irvine! So... Are you a student here?!!" he asked the girl with a wink.

"AARINNGGGKINGKINGKING!!! AAARRINGGGKINNGGGKINGGKINGGGGG!!!! MUCHAAAALUCHAAA!!"

"I beg your pardon?"

"Tinnnnaaappaaaaccccchhhoooocccccchhhhhoooooookaaaawwwooooaaajajachaaaa!!!!!"

"O-K.... freak..." Irvine whispered, starting to back away.

"GOONNGGGGGGGONNNNGGGG GAAACCCCHHHUUAAAAACHAAAA!!!!" The girl started to pull Irvine's hair.

"Hey stop!!!! Stop that!!!!" Irvine pulled away from the girl, totally freaked out by now. The girl on the other hand, lit up a match and started to walk towards Irvine, grinning stupidly.

"Whatcha gonna do with that?!!" Irvine screamed, looking terrified.

"Muuuccchhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!" The girl started to put Irvine's hair on fire.

"AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! MYYY HAAAAIIIRRRRR!!!!!!!!" Irvine ran, flapping his arms as his head caught fire.

"Muuuuucccccchhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!" The girl said happily, chasing Irvine.

*end of flashback*

"Oh.. that was shit..." Seifer winced as he listened to Irvine's story. Irvine closed his eyes, breathing deeply, as though he just had a nightmare.

"I still don't believe you..." Zell said stubbornly.

"Hey Chicken-wuss, how thick can you get??!! I mean, just look at her!!! Seifer pointed at the girl. She was now muttering nonstop under her breath, looking like a maniac, her eyes shifting everywhere. "It's obvious she's capable of doing that..... She's- She's gonna kill us all!!!!!" He shouted hysterically. "One time...." Seifer started but stopped abruptly, looking stunned.

Irvine suddenly opened his eyes. "What, she did something to you too?!!" He asked curiously, his eyebrows raised. " What? What? Whaattt???!!! " he started shaking Seifer violently.

"Dammit... ok, ok.... I'll talk!!!!" Seifer yelled, pushing Irvine. Zell grumbled, still not believing them. The girl, Rae, started to run around the room, waving her arms.

"WWWuuuuuccchhhaaaallluukkkaaaaccchhhaaaa!!!!"

*flashback*

(A/N: Ok this is a bit out of place really... just think of the FMV in the game where Seifer was leading the attack of Galbadia Garden against Balamb Garden... hehehehe)

"Yeah, ATTACK!!!!! ATTACK!!! ATTTTTAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!" Seifer screamed his head off. "I SAID ATTACK YOU STUPID DUMBASS!!!! NYAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! BOOGA!!!!!!" He ordered his Galbadian troop. Galbadia was winning. He knew it. Victory was theirs!!!!!!

"WHOOSH!!! WHOOSH!!! WHOOSH!!! BROOOOOMMMM!!!!! EEEEEEENNNNNNGGGGG!!! WAAATTTIIINNNGGGG!!!! BAAAGGGGAANNNG!!!! BAAANG!!!!! BAAANG!!!" Seifer made his own sound effects. He was going to crush Balamb!!! He could feel the power!!!! He was indeed the Sorceress' Knight!!!!

"Dude!!! That was soooo pathetic!!!!" Irvine interrupted him.

"Shut the fuck up, this is MY story!!!!" Seifer said angrily, hitting Irvine on the head.

"Ow.... ok!!! I'll shut up!!!! Man...." Irvine muttered, massaging his head.

~~~~

(A/N: Ok... back to the story.... hehehehe.....)

"This is a sure win.... nyaharharharhar!!!" Seifer laughed his evil laugh. Someone poked him on the head. "What the-" he wheeled around.

"Peeekkooootttaaaayyuuuuuccchhhaaaa!!!!

" What are you doing here? Go back to where you came from!!!" He ordered her. She didn't move. She just stood there, looking at him, with an evil grin on her face.

"Who- What are you?!!" he asked her uncertainly.

"Assssswwwwaaahhhaaaannnngggccchhhaaaaaaaaa!!!!!! she said happily, pushing Seifer off the platform where he stood. (A/N: you know in the game, the thingy that Seifer used to stand when he ordered the Galbadian soldiers to attack Balamb)

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seifer screamed, as he fell off Galbadia Garden.

"Muuuuuccccchhhhaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!"

*end of flashback*

"That happened to you?!! You didn't tell us!!" Irvine said, outraged.

"Shut up, I've keeping that to myself for a year now!!!!" Seifer blushed, feeling very embarrased.

"So..... how did you survive?!" Zell asked him, only half-convinced.

"Of course I survived.... I'm the BEST!! Well.... I landed flat on my butt, you know, and umm.... got a few stitches..." Seifer broke off, looking at the floor. "What the- why am I saying this to you anyway?!!! Oh... damn..." he shook his head.

Zell was looking from Rae to Seifer. "I still don't believe you..." he said again. Irvine and Seifer had given up by now. "Fine, then don't...." Irvine said. Seifer shrugged.

"Paaakkkiiittttammoooopppwwweetttmmooooccchhhaaaa!!!!!" Rae screamed.

" Well, I want some proof!!!! Then show us your ass!!! Rae told me!!!" Zell ordered Seifer. Irvine was laughing now.

"Are you gay?!! Stop that, Chicken-wuss!!" Seifer said angrily.

"I WANNA SEE YOUR ASS!!!!" Zell repeated again.

"Naahhhhiiiiiiyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaacccchhhaaaaa!!!!" Rae screamed happily.

"You two are freakin' me out!!! Shut up all of you!!!" he shouted at the laughing crowd. He started to walk toward the door, when it suddenly opened.

"What are you doing? Please take your seats!!" Instructor Trepe ordered them. Everyone sat down, except Seifer and Rae.

"Quisty... she..." he pointed at Rae.

"Yes, Mr. Almasy?" she eyed her warningly. Seifer got the idea and sat down. That left Rae standing alone at the clasroom, staring at the people stupidly, occasionally drooling.

"Oh, yes, you're the new student, right? Why don't you introduce youself?" Quistis said kindly, smiling at Rae.

"Waacchhaaaa.....yukungachaaaa......." Rae whispered, looking at Quistis.

"Uh-oh...." Irvine and Seifer looked at each other.

A/N: Well, that's the first part!!! I hope you enjoyed it!!! hehehe!!!!
