"Uh, Fuujin, is, y'know pouring weird stuff onto food, kind of a bad idea?"
"RAGE. WHY BAD?"
"Uh, I dunno. Ma'be cuz they could get really screwed up, we really don't know what these do."
"JEALOUS."
"Am not, dammit. Just because you come up with one measly, mediocre idea…"
"RAGE."
"uh…"
"MY IDEA."
"Am I sleeping on the couch?"
"AFFRIMATIVE."
The hotdog tasted funny. Come to think of it, so did the one before it. And the one before that, and the one before that, and the and the one he had for breakfast, and the other one he had for breakfast, and the one he had as a mid-morning snack, and the one he had stolen from Squall…room's getting fuzzy…can't see the hot dog anymore…
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzz" went Zell.
Rinoa Looked at Zell. Something wasn't right. Rinoa examined Zell. Something was wrong with the kid. Wait, he wasn't jumping up and down, or twitching constantly. In fact, he really wasn't moving a lot, just lying there, snoring. Zell was extremely hyper most of the time, but that still wasn't what was wrong with Zell. It could be that Zell was sleeping in the cafeteria. People generally did that in their rooms. Maybe that was it. No that couldn't be right, it was definitely something else.
The little gears twirled, and stated to move. What was that in his hand?
It was a half-eaten hotdog. That's what wasn't right.
Zell…Didn't…Finish…the hot dog…That meant that for some reason, something was wrong with Zell, and that had stopped him from eating hot dogs, which nothing else that Rinoa had heard of had done.
Something was wrong with the food in the cafeteria. Okay, it wasn't the best, and maybe the fact that Selphie's salad gave her food poisoning wasn't suspicious. Except, how do you get food poisoning from veggies? And Squall was just acting weird. After drinking some coffee, he went over and started crying on Quistis's shoulder.
"I'm so sorry!" Squall yelled.
"Squall, are you okay? You don't look normal."
Squall was still sobbing.
"Irvine?" she asked me.
"Yes?"
"Is it…just me…but…is Squall…?" she asked.
"Yes"
"Is…He expressing emotions…?"
Squall was really crying loudly now.
"Uh, this may be scary, but I think he is." I said
"Shit" Quistis said.
That was bad enough. But I drew the line when my lunch exploded on me, and onto my expensive hat, dammit!
