SONGFIC ALERT CAN YOU SPOT IT


"All right, now hang on for one more minute." Zell held his hand up in warning.

Selphie frowned, crossing her arms. "Why did you drag me into this again? Don't you remember what I did to Irvine the last time?"

Zell took a moment to shudder. "Riiight. But c'mon, this is Seifer. He destroyed Trabia! Where's your Garden Spirit?"

"Right here in Balamb," Selphie answered tartly. She crouched down and peered around the building, looking at the docks. "Are you sure about this though? He kinda looks down on his luck, if you ask me. I mean, I would be, flunking out of SeeD, getting possessed by a crazy maniac Sorceress, killing a whole bunch of innocent people, having my girlfriend dump me for Squall... who wouldn't be depressed?"

"That's not the point!" Zell cracked his knuckles. "He's called me Chickenwuss one too many times, and you know what? Last week he pelted me with hotdogs. Hotdogs, Selphie! I could've eaten those."

Selphie put her head in her hands. "Can't you just... I don't know, sleep with him instead or something? The man is pelting you with hotdogs, for Hyne's sake. That's as unsubtle as it gets."

Zell sputtered furiously. "First of all, he's a Trepie."

"That doesn't mean he doesn't want to get in your pants," Selphie noted.

"SECOND OF ALL," Zell blustered, "He's the one who switched your hairgel with the superglue."

"He's going down," Selphie said viciously, rising to her feet and drawing her weapon.

Zell yanked the small girl back down. "No! We gotta do this my way! You said you wanna make him feel better? I'll make him feel better AND we'll get even at the same time. Now, you ready with that Limit Break?"

"You're starting to make The End feel cheap," Selphie grumbled, but gave him a nod.

"Then get ready. On my mark..." Zell formed his hands into the proper symbols, and Selphie waited.

Seifer looked up from the sunlight reflecting along the water. "&$*#! What's it gonna take to get that Chickenwuss to notice me?" he grumbled to himself. "If he can't understand the hot dog thing, maybe he's really not The One." He took a moment from wallowing in his self-pity to wonder why he heard the faint sound of a whistle behind him. The ground began to rumble, and Seifer's brow furrowed. He turned around, and let out a silent scream of horror as the Guardian Force approached him at breakneck speeds.

"People all over the world! Join hands! Start a love train! A looooove traaaaiiiin!"

The modified Doomtrain hit Seifer with the full fury of the sparkling hearts, flowers and stars that trailed after it, leaving rainbow tracks in its wake.
