BONDING TIME





CHAPTER 1: ARE WE THERE YET?

Our heroes are on a trip to Balamb town to pick up a few items for Headmaster Cid. Everyone is forced to go together by Edea who believes that her children need a little bonding time.

Zell: Squall?

Squall: What!

Zell: I gotta go! Bad!

Seifer: Shut up Zell!

Zell: Frickin Hell!

Squall: .

Zell: Instructor? Are we lost?

Quistis: If you'll remember, I am just a Seed like all of you. Please don't call me instructor.

Seifer: Ok, if you want to be one with a Chicken Wuss and a puberty boy commander that's fine by me!

Zell: Shut up Seifer!

Irvine: (The sharpshooter faces enormous pressure.he is always alone.)

Quistis: What was that Irvine?

Irvine: oh, um..Nothing.

Rinoa: Hey, where's Angelo?

Squall: (He's probably in Balamb by now.)

Zell: Hey, I still gotta go!

Seifer: Look Zell, there are plenty of trees here, make use of them, and quit annoying us!

Rinoa: Oh icky, Seifer don't suggest that!

Seifer: I wasn't being nice or anything, I was hoping we could leave him here.for good.

Zell: Hey!!!!!

Everyone: Hold it Zell!

Rinoa: Has anyone seen my dog!

Selphie: (Singing) Waterfall! Beautiful cold clear Water! Great big oceans! Little tiny fish tanks! Splish Splash, I was taking a bath, IN WATER!

Zell: AAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGHHHHH! (Runs off because he can't hold it anymore)

Selphie: HeHeHe!

Quistis: That was sort of mean, Selphie.

Selphie: Well that's what he gets for eating the last hot dog last night.

Rinoa: ANGELO!! WHERE ARE YOU!

Seifer: Good job, loud mouth, way to wake up all the monsters.

Rarugh!

Selphie: TeeHee! Hey look guys a T-Rexaur!

Everyone: Groan!





-`-`-`-`-`-`-`--`-`-`-`--`-`-`-`-`-`-`--`-`-`-`-`-`-

Squall: "Blizzaga!"

Seifer: Damn, why wont it die!

T-Rexaur slashes its tail knocking Squall and Seifer down. Quistis and Irvine take their places.

Irvine: (casting on Quistis) Aura!

Quistis: Shockwave Pulsar!

The T-Rexaur just growls and slashes, knocking them back with the others.

Quistis: Damn, that didn't eve phase it.

Irvine: Stupid ass T-Rexaur! Take that! (unloads Pulse ammo on T-Rexaur)

T-Rexaur: GRRRRRR!

Selphie: (in the background) Triple!

Irvine: hey, guys, I think Selphie is onto something!

Selphie: Aura! Aura!

Squall: Ok, let's unload on him!

Quistis: Shockwave Pulsar!

Irvine: Pulse Ammo!

Zell (who has made it back just in time): My Final Heaven!

Squall: Lion Heart!

Energy sears through the woods, knocking down trees and bathing the area in an odd glowing light.

The T-Rexaur stumbles, sways, moans, and then gets up for another attack.

Zell: No frickin way! That attack would have even made Ultimecia think twice about getting up!

Squall: What about Rinoa!

Rinoa: Um, excuse me! No DOG!

Squall: oh right!

Selphie is preparing to attack, there is a red glow pulsating though out her body.

Irvine: Whoa Seffie! What ya doing!

She only concentrates further.

Seifer: Um, I think I am going to back up a bit.

Everyone moves back a step; they had never seen Selphie do this attack before. One has to be cautious around others who are learning attacks for the first time.

Selphie: THE END!

Seifer: What kind of dumb attack is that!

T-Rexaur: ?

T-Rexaur is led into a field and put to sleep. Group stands, mouths hanging open in awe!



Zell: Ok, I'm impressed.

Selphie: You were saying, Seifer?

Angelo: ruff

Rinoa: O there you are you stupid dog. Come here!

Squall: Is everyone ready to go now?

Seifer: I was born ready!

Selphie: -mumble mumble-

Seifer: What was that!

Selphie: Oh, nothing!

Seifer: Watch it pixie!

Irvine: Back off Almasy! (pump of a shotgun is herd)

Quistis: That's not called for Irvine! (Crack of a whip)

Squall: CUT IT OUT!

All stare a Squall in surprise. This is the loudest anyone has ever heard him speak, on the rare occasions that he does speak at all. Rinoa giggles. Selphie snaps a picture.

Zell: Wow, Squall, I never knew you had it in you!

Rinoa: I did!

Squall: Rin! Be quiet!

Quistis: Uho! Do you to have to have that little talk with Matron again?

Squall: Hey, um, Balamb? Has anyone forgotten why we are torturing ourselves in the first place?



And so our brave heroes continue on into the sunset. What does the 'wild' nightlife of Balamb hold in store for them! Will they survive!
