Seifer stared in disbelief at Quistis. "What?"BR
BR
"You heard me the first time, didn't you? Guys are such bad listeners," She said, shaking her head tragically. "We are going to the new amusement park with Selphie. I thought you'd be happy about this? I'll finally *lighten up*!!! Isn't that what you wanted?"BR
BR
"An amusement park?!" He groaned, his little bubble of hope bursting.BR
BR
"What's wrong?" Quistis asked, mildly worried.BR
Visions of Selphie flying around on a cloud yelling "BOOYAKA!!!!!!" and laughing--"Tee hee!" danced around in Seifer's head. More clouded his mind as he thought of how Quistis had acted when she had downed the Prozac pills. *What did I ever do to deserve this?* Seifer wondered. *Besides being a sorceress' knight.* He added as an afterthought. He took a pack of Alka Seltzer along with him and slipped it into a pocket of his trenchcoat, to relieve headaches. Or pain, since this involved spending an entire day with a couple of hypermaniacs.BR
BR
"Seifer?"BR
BR
"Huh? Wha..?"BR
BR
"What's wrong?" She repeated, worry now slightly increased.BR
BR
"Nothing, nothing at all."BR
BR
"You always say that, but since you insist, come on, let's go get Selphie."BR
BR
*...Why didn't I say I was sick?* "Ok." He answered, reluctantly, as if he was being dragged off to his doom--it was his doom, he thought gloomily. *I'll miss you, world...no, I won't.*BR
BR
"Cheer up! We'll have lotsa fun!" Selphie shrieked, after taking a single look at Seifer's dejected face. "Comeon! Mr. Happy!!!" She poked him repeatedly.BR
BR
*I will remain calm. I will remain calm. I will remain calm.* Seifer convinced himself, forcing a happy-face onto his face.BR
BR
"LET'S GO!" Selphie screeched, dragging Quistis and Seifer after her in excitement.BR
BR
*Thud. Thud. Thud.* "Can ya let me walk by myself?" Seifer asked, thudding along painfully.BR
BR
*THONK.* "Tee hee! I'm sorry!" She let go of Seifer, letting him fall into a heap onto the rocky ground.BR
BR
He picked himself up before Selphie could pounce on him and shout, "Get up! Hurry! While the sun's still shining!" In the process of getting up, a packet of Alka Seltzer dropped to the floor.BR
BR
"Whazzat?" Selphie asked, inquisitively.BR
BR
"Oh, nothing." Seifer said frantically, his eyes widening at his own stupidity, leaning over to scoop up the packet before the maniac, as he had inwardly named Selphie, found out what it was.BR
BR
Selphie let out a war whoop. "ALKA SELTZER!!!!! YUM YUM YUM!!!!! LEMME HAVE SOME!!! SEIFIEWEEE!!! PWEASSEEEEEEE?!?!?!??!?!?!"BR
BR
Passersby stared, wondering what the girl had experienced in the past to expedite such large quantities of lunacy. Did she regularly electrocute herself with electrical sockets? Or did she ingurgitate extensive amounts of sugar every day? Perhaps she simply got high off....air...life...water...nothing!BR
BR
Seifer stared, contemplating the possibilities of giving her the Alka Seltzer verses keeping it. *I should have known better than to bring it...how could I have been so stupid?* He handed a tablet over, dejectlyBR.
BR
Selphie swiped it and danced around. "I got Alka Seltzer!!!!" She cheered happily, popping the tablet into her mouth. Suddenly, she fell to the floor. BR
BR
Quistis, who had been a far distance away, assuming they were walking with her, had run back to where Seifer stood, guilty. "What did you do to her?" She demanded, worriedly staring down at Selphie's lifeless figure.BR
BR
"Gave her Alka Seltzer." He replied, pointing to the pack, trying to remain calm. Was that pack poisonous or something? Overdose of overly sugary things for Selphie? He leaned over. "Selphie...?"BR
BR
*BONK!!!!*BR
"Tee hee! Tee hee!" Selphie giggled, watching Seifer rub the sore spot where they'd knocked heads. "I'm fine! Don't worry about me!"BR
BR
"You're sure you're ok?" Quistis asked, not convinced.BR
BR
"Yahyahyahyahyah!!"BR
BR
Quistis shook her head disapprovingly. "Why did you give it to her?"BR
BR
"You know what would happen if I didn't, don't you?"BR
BR
"Never mind." She decided instantly.BR

Eight hours later, Seifer dragged himself up the front steps and flopped onto his sofa and, in a matter of two seconds, fell asleep. The day had been filled with a Selphie scampering around the entire park a total count of 16 times. Quistis, despite all efforts to keep her AWAY from the Alka Seltzer, had also eaten a tablet, and, as a result, turned into a Selphie-clone. BR
BR
Seifer, pity him, had been literally hauled along everywhere the girls went. They had been kicked out of a grand total: 46 stores because other shoppers/window browsers/etc had been scared shitless and tore out screaming at the insanity of the two teens and the slightly-more-sane-guy-dragged along with them. When they had finally been escorted [four hours after they'd arrived] quickly out of the park, Seifer had headed straight to the resort. He couldn't remember ever feeling so exhausted before this.... let's call it...excursion. All the Alka Seltzer packets Seifer had foolishly towed along with him had disappeared into the bottomless depths of Selphie's stomach--or, at least, most had. One tablet remained.BR
BR
*Well, can't be helped.* Seifer had thought. *Why don't I just take..one. ONE. My head is killing me..one can't hurt, right? Course it can't." He popped one into his mouth.BR
BR
"Seifer?" Quistis poked her head out of *her* bedroom door. "Shower's free. I'm gonna go take a walk outsi--SEIFER?! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!" She had mistaken the Alka Seltzer for poison. "Seifer!! I'm sorry I dragged you to the park with me! Just just..don't kill yourself over that, plea--SEIFER!!! I'm so sorry! I'll never do it again!" She zoomed over and shook his shoulders. "Cough that up, right now!!!" She pounded on Seifer's back. "COUGH *WHACK* THAT *WHACK* UP! *WHACK* THEY'RE *WHACK* GONNA THINK I MURDERED *wHACK WHACK WHACK* YOU!!!"BR
BR
Seifer slumped off the sofa and slithered onto the ground.BR
BR
"Ohmigosh, ohmigosh! He's dead, he's dead." Quistis hesitantly shook a limb belonging to Seifer. "Seifer..?"BR
BR
Silence.BR
"Don't die on me! Why did you do it?" She kneeled down, vision slowly starting to blur. "Please? I'm sorry, I'm sorry."BR
BR
More silence.BR
BR
"If you live, I promise I'll never take any kind of medicine again, not even herbal medicin--SEIFER?! ARE YOU FOAMING AT THE MOUTH?!" Quistis suddenly shrieked. "YOU'VE GOT RABIES AND YOU NEVER TOLD ME?!"BR
BR
Seifer's hand slowly traveled to his forehead. He slowly sat up. "No, I don't have rabies." Seifer answered while massaging his back, though his mouth did seem to contain a foamy substance that we all owe to Alka Seltzer mixed with water, slowly dissolving.BR
BR
Their conversation continued on this degree until Quistis finally got fed up and went outside to cool down. Seifer took this chance to get some peace and quiet so he could finally get his much-needed rest.
