Irvine, Zell, and Rinoa were sitting in their tent. Zell was lying in his sleeping bag, listening to his portable CD player. Rinoa was sitting on hers, reading a romance novel with the light of her electric lamp. Irvine was "reading" one of his dirty magazines, also with an electric lamp. His sleeping bag was next to Zell's.
br"Woah... this girl looks just like Rinoa..." Irvine said to himself after he flipped the page.
br"Yeah right... you mean you look at their faces?" Rinoa was trying to ignore him tonight, but she heard her name and knew what he was doing.
br"Seriously, look for yourself."
br"No, I'm not looking at your filthy pictures."
brIrvine took Zell's headphones off of him, waking him up. "Zell, look at this."
br"This better be important." Zell said aggrivated... he hated being woken up.
brIrvine put the magazine in front of him. "Doesn't she look just like Rinoa?"
br"... Yea. Give me back my headphones."
brIrvine put Zell's headphones back on his head, and looked at Rinoa. "Told you so."
brRinoa got up and grabbed his magazine. "... Wow, that does look like me."
brIrvine grinned, "Well, take off your clothes and lets make a side-by-side comparison."
brRinoa grabbed Irvine's pillow and whacked him with it. He laughed as she went back to her sleeping bag. iI hope she doesn't tell Squall that one... he'd kill me./i
pSquall, Quistis, and Selphie were having a similar time in their tent. Squall was reading a field guide that he had read over and over again. Quistis and Selphie were sitting on Quistis's sleeping bag looking at some teen girl magazines Selphie brought. They were giggling and muttering to each other about almost every picture.
br"What are you two doing?" Squall was having a hard time concentrating on the guide he knew like the back of his hand.
br"Nothing you'd be interested in." Quistis said.
br"Yeah... its girl stuff. You wouldn't get it." Selphie added
brSquall knew what kind of magazines they were looking at. "Those waste of money are nothing but beauty tips, guys, fashion, and makeup ads..."
br"These mags are the best. This issue is about single guys in Balamb." Selphie said, looking at the cover.
br"This stuff isn't nearly as boring as your field guide. How old is that thing, anyway?" Quistis added.
brSquall put his book down and grabbed one of Selphie magazines.
br"Hey! That's mine!" She yelled out as he flipped through the pages.
br"What's so great about these guys?"
brQuistis laughed, "If you like cute, available guys with hot bodies, everything."
brSquall kept looking at the male models for a minute. "... They don't have anything I don't have." He threw the magazine back on top of the pile and got in his sleeping bag.
br"... Whatever." Quistis mocked Squall. Selphie laughed and turned off her light.
br"Goodnight, Quisty."
br"'Night, Selphie." Quistis turned off her light.
pSelphie woke up before everybody else. She didn't know what time it was, she didn't bring a clock. She changed out of her sleeping gown and into her clothes when she noticed something. i... Is that Squall's pants?/i She picked up the pants that Squall wore when he fell asleep, he wasn't wearing them now. She looked at Squall, his shirt wasn't on him either. iThat means he's wearing.../i Selphie grinned. iLet's see if he was lying last night when he compared himself to my mags./i She slowly unzipped his sleeping bag, trying not to wake him. When she got it open, he wasn't wearing anything but boxers, and his body easily rivaled anyone in the magazine. iNo wonder girls at the Garden are always swooning over him./i She thought to herself when she had an idea. She covered Squall with his unzipped bag and shook Quistis.
br"Is it work time already?" Quistis said, half-asleep.
br"Yep. Remember when Squall said he looked better than the guys in my mag?"
br"... Yea, why?"
br"... He wasn't lying." She pointed at him. "Come see for yourself."
brQuistis got up and walked over and picked up the top half of his bag gently. "... If he wasn't my student..." She giggled and zipped his bag up again.
br"I've got an idea." Selphie said, then wispered into Quistis's ear.
brQuistis grinned. "I'll do it."
pZell yawned as he woke up. He was still wearing his headphones, but the batteries were dead. He grabbed his toothbrush, toothpaste, and a bottle of water and headed outside. iHmm... everyone must still be asleep./i He thought to himself as he brushed his teeth. He put some of the water in his mouth and swished it around. He looked over at the other tent, iShould I feel bad for Squall forced to spend a night with the girls, or should I be jealous?/i He spit the water out and saw some motion in the tent. iWell, someone's awake. I hope it's Squall... for his sake./i He yawned and walked back to his tent.
p"Squally?" Selphie was leaning over Squall.
br"... Wha'?" He was still too asleep to form a complete word. He rubbed his eyes and looked at Selphie. "What's up?"
brSelphie smiled and held up Squall's pants, "Are these yours?"
bri... Crap! I knew I shoulda kept them on!/i He thought to himself, "Yes... can I have them back now?"
br"Sure..." She handed him the pants and laughed as he tried to put them on without getting out of his sleeping bag. "Don't worry, I already saw you without them."
br"... I knew I should have said something last night at "guys in one tent and girls in the other", why did I know this was gonna happen to someone?" He unzipped his bag and put on he pants, then stood up.
brSelphie giggled, "You know... you weren't joking last night about your body..."
brSquall sighed, "Yeah, whatever... wheres my shirt?"
brSelphie took a step forward, "Has... Rinoa seen you without a shirt?"
briI don't like where this is going.../i He thought, "No... why?"
br"Has anyone of us seen you without one?"
br"Me... and you."
br"You should walk out there and show them." She giggled again.
br"No... you can't make me."
brHer eyes lit up, she had her opportunity. "... Quisty! Go!"
brQuistis, who Squall forgot was there, ran out with his shirt.
br"Hey!!" Squall chased after her, "Give it back!"
br"No, it's mine now!" Quistis ran into the woods. Squall continued to chase her, even though he wasn't wearing shoes.
brSelphie walked out of the tent, laughing. Zell came out of his tent and walked over to her. "What's so funny?"
br"Oh, nothing." She smiled at him
bri... Poor Squall.../i He thought to himself. "What'd you do to Squall?" She laughed some more.
pQuistis stopped in a small clearing, out of breath. She leaned against a tree when he walked into the clearing.
brHe smiled, "... Quisty." He said in a calm, soothing voice.
brShe held the shirt tighter in her left hand, "You can't have it."
brHe walked up and leaned in front of her. "Did you take my shirt just to see me without it?" He placed his right hand on the tree, cutting off one escape option of hers.
bri... What does me mean by that?/i She thought to herself as she stared into his eyes. Instead of the depressing blue-gray color that they usually are, they were an inviting blue. He was grinning... like Irvine when he made his move.
br"You didn't need to steal it..." He brushed some of her hair off of her face with his left hand, then pressed it on the tree.
brShe scanned his body with her eyes. iWhat's he doing?/i
brHe placed his right hand on her shoulder. They both watched it as he slowly rolled it down the entire lengh of her arm. He stopped and gently squeesed her hand. He leaned over farther, his face was now barely an inch away from hers. "You just have to give me what I want..." He wispered into her ear.
brShe looked startled for a second. She tried to say something, but couldn't think of what to say.
br"... Don't forget." He took the shirt from her incredibly loosened grip and backed a few steps away. He draped the shirt over his shoulder and scanned her body with his eyes. He grinned again, then turned and walked back to the camp site.
briWhat was that???/i She thought to herself. i... Was Squall... hitting on me?/i
p(Ooh... What's Squall doing? What's Quistis gonna do about it? What will happen if Rinoa finds out? I don't know... but I hope I can come up with something! Stay tuned...)
