Hiya!! I'm back! Bob's not going to type today; when I had him type the last chapter, he got tired very quickly, on the count of him being so small. But he's okay. Hey, Lyaka, a little self-indulgence can't really hurt? *elbow jabs Lyaka back* Thanks for reviewing! We should talk more! ^_^ Anywho, I suppose I'm here to continue on with this little story here. Onward!
While Jessi and Zell were off looking for Edea/Matron and Ayla, this is what happened with them...
Ayla had given Edea/Matron tips for Edea's/Matron's next parade. "I'm willing to let you borrow my new silver 2003 Toyota Corolla! I'll even drive for you."
Edea/Matron beams with delight. "That would be wonderful!"
"Just tell me when you plan on having it, and I'll make sure my baby's extra shiny for ya." Ayla smiles proudly.
"It's a deal," says Edea/Matron. "Where shall we cause destruction first?"
"Well, maybe we could blow up the parking lot! Yeah, 'cause it was really useless in the game. We only went in there two times or so," Ayla says.
"This is no game, Child!" Edea/Matron exclaims indignantly.
"Looky here!" Ayla snaps, suddenly very annoyed that Edea/Matron keeps calling her 'child.' "My name is Ayla. I suggest you call me by my name, or so help me, I will beat you at your own game. I was very disappointed in you when you lost to Squall and his friends! You could've done better than that."
Edea/Matron just stands dumbfounded by Ayla's sudden outburst. "I'm sorry, Ayla."
Ayla's bad mood disappears. "It's okay. But we should hurry if we want to blow up the parking lot before they come to ruin our plans."
"Indeed." Edea/Matron nods and together they make their way towards the parking lot.
-Meanwhile...-
"So, what was up with you and the library girl with the pigtail? I never got that. I mean, what did you see in her? Did you even know her name? Was she always the 'library girl with the pigtail?' I always wondered. She seemed awfully boring to me..." Jessi is rambling on in her usual manner as Zell looks around the halls suspiciously.
"Shhh! Can't you see I'm trying to plan a sneak attack?" Zell asks, giving Jessi a mean look.
Jessi pouts. "I'm sorry."
Zell sighs and continues onward.
Suddenly, a random person comes running up to Jessi. "You're JessiBluEyes, right?" asks the girl.
Jessi is confused. (Bob's comment: what else is new?) "Yes, that's me. Do I know you?"
The girl blushes. "Not really. I'm Quycksylver. Can you give something to Irvine for me?"
"Um...sure?" Jessi says uncertainly. "He's in the cafeteria if you want to give it to him yourself."
Quycksylver squeals excitedly. "Really?"
Jessi nods. "What do you want to give him?"
"Oh, it's nothing really. Just this piece of paper with my phone number, email address, zip code, SS #, blood type, and measurements. That's all." She blushes. "Thanks."
"No problem. Good luck."
She giggles again. "Thanks. Bye Jess." She jogs off towards the cafeteria.
Jessi laughs and begins walking again.
Zell jogs to catch up. "What was all that about?"
"I'm mad at you," Jessi says, crossing her arms.
"Why?"
"Because you snapped at me."
"I'm sorry. I don't always think before I act..."
-Meanwhile...-
"Hey Edea/Matron, did you hear the one about the blonde who wanted alligator shoes?" Ayla asks, smiling broadly.
"No, Ayla, I'm afraid I haven't," says Edea/Matron absently, looking around the parking lot to make sure no one's in there. "Do you have a bomb?"
Ayla shakes her head. "No. You're the sorceress. Use your magic or something."
"Cid says we're not allowed to use magic on campus."
"Tch," says a very disappointed Ayla. "Cid's a coward. He'll never know."
"But--"
"Come on!" Ayla urges. "You don't want to let all of your fellow sorceresses down, do you?"
"Well, no, but--"
"No buts! We must destroy something!" says Ayla.
Edea/Matron sighs with defeat. "Oh, all right." She uses her magic (Bob's comments: GASP!) and casts a fire spell on the parking lot. The whole place bursts into flames because of spilt oil and such.
Ayla's eyes widen with excitement. "Ooo...pretty. That was soooo cool. Do it again! Do it again! Do it again!" she begins to chant.
Edea/Matron looks around once again. "Let's go to one of the classrooms!"
Ayla laughs hysterically. "Yeah!"
They leave the burning parking lot and go back into the hallways of Balamb Garden.
*Dun Dun Dunnnnn* Will Edea/Matron and Ayla destroy Balamb before Jessi and Zell can save the day? Well, maybe it won't be Jessi and Zell. It'll probably be Squall. Damn him. Always stealing other people's 15 minutes of fame. Stay tuned for the next episode.
