"Okay, ladies and gentlemen! Come over hear to get your room keys and meet up with your new cabin partners! There will be two people to a three-person cabin since there are only twenty-eight- no. Twenty-two of us since some of our students were unable to attend." Mr.Lowenthal announced through a bull horn.

The class trooped up, all groaning, car sick from the ride there through many bumpy, horrid, back mountain roads.

"Axel! You're with Roxas in cabin one!" Mr.L shouted, handing both Axel and Roxas room keys to cabin number one. Axel grinned seductively, slipped an arm around Roxas' waist and, despite Roxas' violent protests, dragged him to their cabin.

"Kairi, you're with Namine in cabin two!"

"Okie!" Kairi cheered, grabbing her room key, taking Namine's hand and skipping of girlishly. Both Riku and Sora shuddered as they watched the girls run off.

"Aeris! You're with Tifa in cabin four!"

"Wait." Tifa ordered. "What's wrong with cabin three?"

"Some sort of bug problem." Mr.Lowenthal answered indifferently. Aeris took her room key to cabin four swiftly and happily after shuddering. Man, what a bug-a-phobe.

"Okay, now that that's over... Riku! You're with Sora in cabin five!" Riku smiled, took the room keys and then picked up both his and Sora's bags.

"What're you doing, Riku?" Sora asked quietly, "I can carry my own bags."

"But then I would have to make my precious little flower work, and we don't want that, now do we?" Riku answered happily, kissing Sora on the cheek.

The entire rest of the class "oooh"ed and "awww"ed at the couple's cute moment. Sora certainly thought he had discovered five new shades of red as he and Riku trooped off to cabin five.

"Yuffie! You're with Vincent in cabin six!" Mr.Lowenthal once again called through his bullhorn.

"WHAT?!" Yuffie yelled, outraged, "Why do I have to be with a guy!? All the other girls get to be with another girl!!" You could all but feel the steam billowing from her ears.

"There's an odd number of boys and girls, Yuffie. And, since you and Vincent are so close, I thought that would be the best thing to do since one girl had to be with a guy." The nonchalant way Mr.L said this only enraged Yuffie more.

"Just 'cause I'm friends with Vinnie doesn't mean I want to be in the same CABIN as him! I'm a girl too! Not to mention, I'm closer to Cloudster here-" Yuffie wrapped her arm comfortably around her equal-heighted blonde friend's shoulders, "-than I am to Vinnie. Why can't I room with Cloudster?" Yuffie whined.

"Sorry, Yuffie." Mr.Lowenthal apologized, "But if you do feel that strongly about the matter, I suppose you could room with Cloud, should your and his roommates agree to it."

"Alright, who's Cloudie's rommie?" Yuffie all but growled, tapping her foot expectantly.

"Squall Leonhart." Mr.L stated nonchalantly.

"WHAT?!" Cloud screamed, overcome with rage.

Closing his eyes, struggling to keep is composure, Leon stated as cooly as he could, "I would not be opposed to rooming with Vincent."

Vincent watched calmly, his scarlet eyes watching the sweat drip down Leon's brow, Cloud attempt to stifle his fury by clenching his fists, and the way that their glares at one-another had nearly their entire lifetime's worth of emotions flurried into one clash of blue and gray. Vincent kept his arms crossed as he spoke frankly, "I'd rather room with Miss Kisaragi."

"Alright, then Cloud, you're roomin' with Squally here." Mr.Lowenthal stated, ready to go onto the next subject of conversation. Leon had always hated how Mr.L had love to tease him by calling him by his proper name.

Cloud quickly made a mental note to kill Vincent while he was sleeping before he interjected, "But, Mr.L!"

"Oh right. You two don't get along, do you?" Mr.Lowenthal said, almost to himself. "Oh well, you're not little children anymore. Work it out. You're in cabin seven. Yuffie, you're with Vincent in cabin six." He then gave Cloud, Leon, Yuffie, and Vincent their keys before continuing with the pairs.

Mr.L went on to put Seifer and Zell in cabin eight, Selphie and Yuna in cabin nine, Tidus and Wakka in cabin ten, and Demyx with Zexion in cabin eleven.

"But, James!" Yuffie nearly shouted, before she was literally dragged by her collar towards their cabin by Vincent. She started to struggle, and Cloud absent-mindedly wondered why she calmed down as soon as Vincent started whispering in her ear, but the thought went in one ear and out the other: straight back to Leon.

Cloud stalked ahead of Leon, before turning sharply and stopping, right in front of Leon. "Okay, let's just get one thing straight: I get the top bunk." Seeing as Leon's emotionless exterior had returned he simply nodded and continued past Cloud.

"Dammit, Squall!" Cloud yelled. Still stopped, Cloud watched as bunches of giggling girls, and pairs of guys talking about last night's football game passed by. "Dammit, Squall... Why are you always so emotionless?!" Cloud screamed again, clenching his fists.

Lowering his voice to near inaudibility, Cloud whispered, "Why are you always so cold to me?"

Leon, marching ahead towards cabin seven, wore the same depressed look as Cloud, though no one could see it. Hidden beneath his ice prince mask were all the emotions that Leon kept bottled up like wine or juice.

The pair was in for a very eventful night...
