DISCLAIMER: You know the drill, I own nothing here.

The Queen of Cards walks into Quistis's classroom with a small
cardboard box. Squall, Quistis, Raijin, Fujin, Seifer, Rinoa, Zell,
Selphie, Irvine, Cid, Edea, MiniMog and Puu are there waiting.

Queen of Cards: I have a fresh delivery of new cards from my father.
I hope you all like them. I arranged it so you can each have a copy
of your own card, since you helped me on my quest.

Zell: Coolio, hand it over. [He snatches the box and rips it open.
He sits down and starts handing them out.]
Squall!
Raijin and Fujin!
Annoying Dude I hate!

Seifer: [comes over and takes his card.] Yeah, I love you two Chicken
Wuss.

Zell: [sticks out his tongue and resumes his duty.] Rinoa!
Selphie!
MiniMog!
Matron!
Me!
Irvine!
Puu!

Cid: What about me?

Zell: Nope, nothin Sir.

Cid: Great! So the mutated cat with a pink ping pong ball on a stick
that pokes out of its head and a teletubbie alien get a card but I
don't? What's wrong here? I mean, give me a break!

Edea: Now dear. Calm down. You never really did fight, did you?

Cid: No...

Seifer: [whispers to Raijin and Fujin] Yeah, he's to old and fat.
Besides, remember how he was even crying after Garden was attacked?

Raijin: How did you know that? You were with the Sorceress, I mean
Matron then, ya know.

Seifer: Please, I'm a knight, give me some credit.

Edea: Only fighters get cards. You know that.

Cid: ::sigh:: Alright. [him and Edea walk out.]

Fujin: RAGE!

Raijin: Hey, I'm not happy with this either, ya know? I mean, if
Seifer gets his own card, then so should we.

Fujin: AFFIRMATIVE.

Seifer: Well, but I'm intricate to the story.

Raijin: Yeah, its probably because you're really Edea and Cid's love
child.

Seifer: WHAT?!?!

Fujin: STRIKE.

Raijin: Good idea. Seifer, until we each get our own card, Fuj and I
are on strike ya know. No more Disciplinary Committee for us. [Fujin
and Raijin start to walk out.] Hey Fuj, give me the card, okay? I
mean, there only was one in the box ya know, and we are supposed to
get our own card...

Fujin: MINE. [she kicks Raijin in the leg]

Raijin: Ow ow ow ow ow. But you don't even play Triple Triad!

Fujin: STILL. [they walk out. actually, Fujin walks, Raijin hobbles.]

Selphie: OOOOOOO! Mini Mog and Puu are so cute! I wanna hug 'em and
love 'em up! [Puu and Mini Mog look at each other in terror. Puu
calls over his spaceship.]

Puu: Come Mog, bring elixer too. [hops in the spaceship. Mini Mog
steals an elixer from Zell and boards. They fly off with Selphie
running after them.]

Irvine: Oooo, Quistis, may I say you look fly in that picture girl.

Quistis: Talk to the hand. [walks over to Seifer.] Want to exchange
cards?

Seifer: Sure. Wanna come help me with recruit 2 new Disciplinary
Committee members?

Quistis: Sure.

Zell: Awwww, how sweet.

Irvine: So, Queenie, what are you doing tonight?

Queen of Cards: Umm, washing my hair?

Irvine: Sounds like fun, can I help? [raises his eyebrows and smiles.]

Queen of Cards: Get away from me Perv. [takes out mace and sprays him,
then walks out.]

Irvine: Ah, I'm in love. [walks out after her.]

[Seifer walks back in with Quistis and Selphie trailing behind him.]

Seifer: Great, where's Kinneas?

Rinoa: He just ran out. He's in love again.

Squall: He's probably in the Infirmary again though. He was maced in
the face again.

Seifer: Nah, hey Chicken Wuss, want a job?

Zell: Doing what?

Seifer: Filling in for Raijin. Selphie's takin care of Fujin's spot.

Selphie: AFFIRMATIVE. hehe

Zell: Do I have to say ya know?

Seifer: Nah.

Zell: Sure.

Seifer: Okay, Quistis and I are going to dinner in Balamb, so you two
patrol the halls.

Zell: Sure. [they all walk out]

Rinoa: Squally? Can we exchange cards like Seifer and Quistis did?

Squall: Sure, but I may have to fight Seifer for Quistis's. Same for
you when you try for Seifer's card.

Rinoa: [hits Squall] I MEANT that we should exchange cards with each
other!

Squall: Rinoa! I don't think I'm ready for that kind of commitment!

Rinoa: GIMME YOUR CARD!

[Raijin and Fujin start marching past the door]

Raijin: 1 2 3 4
Seifer's card policy has got to go.
5 6 7 8
we don't want to share ya know?

Fujin: SEE? WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO SUFFER AND SHARE A CARD WITH THIS
DOOFUS?

Squall: Rinoa! No!

[Zell and Selphie stand outside the door.]

Zell: Sorry, we have to break up all riots.

Selphie: STOP.

[Fujin and Raijin stare at each other.]

Raijin and Fujin: LINE CROSSERS! ATTACK!

[the four fight, and Fujin and Raijin come out unhurt.]

Zell: [weakly] Maybe they each do deserve their own card...

Rinoa: [walks over for a closer look.] Are you two alright?

Squall: [sees his oportunity and runs.] C-ya! Everyone outta my way!
Commander's orders!

Rinoa: Get back here! [runs after him.]
