Seifer's Time Manipulation (Mis-)Adventure
Chapter 1: How Seifer
became broke.
Today was a
very bad day for Seifer. He was not a happy camper. For one, he was poorer by a
thousand gil. He could still see Raijin's smug face dancing before his eyes.
And considering it was Raijin, it was not a pretty sight.
He had
called foul play, that Raijin had made the bet with him when he was drunk. He,
Raijin and Fujin were on their usual wine tasting binge….well, it was more like
wine, whisky, tequila and any form of drink with a lot of liquor in it tasting
(or more like gulping binge). But that was not the point, it seemed at one
point, according to Fuj that he had bragged that he could sleep with Instructor
Quistis anytime he want. Both Fujin and Raijin had burst out laughing, and even
in his drunken state, he had never seen Fujin laugh that hard. Raijin then made
a bet with him, of a thousand gil, saying that he would NEVER, EVER be able to
sleep with the Instructor. Seifer, one who never said no to a challenge, agreed
and had thought it was an easy win.
Well, it
wasn't. In fact, it wasn't even a win. He had failed miserably.
From the
beginning, he was completely in over his head. He had not noticed that
Instructor Quistis was dating another man. She had been dating for the past few
months an Instructor Alan who transferred in from Trabia Gardens. They had
seemed very happy and inseparable. When Seifer finally took on the bet, he
suddenly realised that it was going to be hard to beat Instructor Alan.
For one,
Instructor Alan was perfect. He was the boring straight A student/ jock who
like Quistis, became an instructor at a very young age. He had instructed and
turned out some of the best SeeDs in the world. He like Quistis, was a strong
and remarkable man, with redeeming qualities such as kindness and sensitivity
that made him a wonderful man. According to Quistis, he also had a sense of fun
and wit that made him a great person to be around with. He like Quistis, was an
intelligent and calm man, with peaceful outlook towards life. He unlike Seifer,
had no shady past which involved trying to take over the world.
Tried
Seifer did to get the Instructor to sleep with him. Well, Seifer's definition
of trying that is. In his mind, Seifer made daring conquests involving
mind-blowing sex (and sometimes kinky) with the beautiful Instructor. But in
reality, Seifer dared not even come near the Instructor. He insulted and
belittled her as usual but he was unable to even strike up a compliment that
would maybe give him a better chance towards sleeping with her.
And so, he
lost. To add insult to the injury, Raijin demanded him to pay him at the
Instructor's wedding today. What Seifer was glad was that word of the bet had
not gone out but stayed within his posse.
At this
moment in time, Seifer was staring in front of the mirror fixing his trainee
uniform. How unfortunate that Balamb had taken to making all SeeD trainees to
wearing a uniform. How unfortunate that Quistis's wedding was made a school
event that most students would have to attend. How unfortunate that all of
Quistis's students were made to attend or Instructor Zell, he thought
sarcastically, would fail them this quarter for one of his classes. Seifer
guessed that the mandatory attendance was made only for him anyway. Seifer,
admittedly wanted to be a SeeD and he had been working (good enough to pass) so
that he would have a shot at the written exam and the practical. But he wasn't
working hard enough to get a better grade; one has to keep his reputation after
all.
Seifer
sighed. If only there was a way to turn back time and get her to sleep with
him, he wouldn't be poorer right now. In fact, he would be a thousand gil
richer. Oh, well. In this world, you win some and you lose some. Nothing
ventured nothing gained and all that shit.
"Your wish
is my command!" came a squeaky high voice from out of nowhere.
What the
fuck?
Out of
nowhere, with smoke and glitter effects appeared a fairy. A fairy that was as
tall as he was. She had bright blue hair, a clear complexion and bright green
eyes. She wore a pretty fairy frock, complete with wings and a ballerina shoes.
She had a tiara on her head and in her hand, a fairy wand with a star on it.
And then there was the glitter. There was glitter everywhere.
Seifer
sighed again and put out the joint he was smoking. He knew that he shouldn't
have smoked it this early in the morning, especially not with such a heavy
heart.
"You've got
to be joking," he muttered facing his hallucination. It was strange. Usually,
he never hallucinated when he smoked up but there's always a first time.
"Of course
not!" chimed the chirpy, Selphie-like fairy. Her voice made Seifer cringe some
more. "My name is Cooper, I come from the Valley of Twin Mountains. I'm a Time
Manipulation fairy, here to grant your wish!"
