(a/n: Thanks to the small *major frown* amount of people who reviewed. Oh well, I shouldn't complain. Smile, ppls, smile! ^_^ ! It's chapter three!)

Chapter Three: Double Crossing Geezard!

Squall spewed out his beverage and began to cough while Quistis cried out in shock. When Selphie pulled away from the well built blonde, she could tell that he wanted to smile but knew that he wouldn't, not in front of them at least. He actually was a good kisser, but that wasn't Selphie's concern right now; it was to see her dear former instructor's reaction.

Selphie nearly screamed when she saw the expression on Quistis's face; she had never seen the woman so mad before, of course if you exempt the day when Zell was going through Quistis's things and had accidentally dropped Antidote on Quistis's brand new Gucci boots. The medicine did not like the leather incidentally and had eaten a hole right through it.

" Run, Messenger Girl."

Okay, now she was very scared. Seifer was actually telling her to go save herself. Quistis had pulled out her Save the Queen and was stroking it menacingly.

" Selphie...did I just see you kiss Seifer?" She asked in her overly nice voice. That voice was bad news.

" Uhh...maybe..."

" And why did you do it?" She was getting closer and the room to back up was diminishing.

" I...well...I do have a good reason for kissing Seifer..." Wait a second. Selphie's whole purpose to kiss Seifer was to prove that Quistis and Seifer were involved with one another. Now that Quistis was threatening her, she had the evidence she needed. " So you guys are together!" She cried out. " I mean, why else do you want to kill me and why else is Seifer not surprised?"

" Oh, very clever," Quistis retorted, still keeping a firm grip on her whip. " You know that Seifer and I are together. But you still have no proof...unless you count your corpse."

" Not exactly."

The women turned to their left to see Squall holding up a mini-cassette player. He tapped the side with his finger and smiled...yes, smiled.

" I've got everything on tape," He said. He pressed down on the play button and out came Quistis and Seifer's doom.

" So you guys are together! I mean, why else do you want to kill me and why else is Seifer not surprised?"

" Oh, very clever, you know that Seifer and I are together. But you still have no proof...unless you count your corpse."

Seifer groaned and Quistis dropped her weapon in shock.

" That's right," Squall continued. " We have all the evidence we need right here."

" Wha...what do you plan to do with that?" Quistis asked.

" Whatever is necessary."

Quistis was pulled to the side by her partner, who began to talk to her furiously. After a few moments of discussion, Seifer walked up to Squall.

" Name your price."

" Both of you are to do whatever I order you to do until...well, the end of time."

" Absolutely not!" Quistis shouted. " Who do you think you are, blackmailing us like this?"

" Okay, you don't seem to be happy about this." Squall paused for a moment, and then snapped his fingers. " You will be on chore duty."

Quistis growled and cast Squall an even more evil look then the one she gave Selphie.

"Seifer, you will give me half of your Instructor salary and will randomly make a fool out of yourself whenever asked."

Seifer wished that he had his Hyperion with him; then he would give Squall another scar to match the one he already had. Perhaps even make a delightful 'X' between his eyes and watch as insects dug for their treasure. But they both knew that Squall had the upper hand in this case. They would, in fact, do anything to keep their relationship a secret; if found out, Garden cadets would make a huge fuss over it, after all it was the former Instructor with her former student. Who knew, perhaps the Trepies would come and hunt down Seifer.

Seifer spoke for both of them when he folded and hissed, "Fine."

" We did it!" Selphie squealed, running up to Squall to hug him. But before she could clamp her arms around him, he held out his hand like a stop sign.

" Don't be so excited, Selph. You see the thing is, I've also gotten you kissing Seifer on tape, and I'm sure that's something Irvine would not want to be hearing."

" But you can't hear a kiss!" Selphie protested.

" Oh no?" Squall punched his forefinger onto the rewind button and then, with surprising accuracy regarding time, pressed play.

" Run, Messenger Girl."

" Selphie...did I just see you kiss Seifer?"

" Uhh...maybe..."

" And why did you do it?"

" I...well...I do have a good reason for kissing Seifer..."

He stopped the cassette and then smiled again. Some would say that Squall's smile was the most frightening thing they had ever seen. Selphie from that moment on would become one of them.

" So Selphie, I guess that you'll be handing me over one-quarter of your SeeD salary and will be carrying my things on missions, not to mention writing my annual reports for Cid, after all, you kicked me yesterday."

Sure she had kicked Squall, but she always mistreated and abused people. It was her nature! She still couldn't believe that Squall was doing this to her and the only four words could describe how she felt towards him.

" You double crossing Geezard!"

(a/n: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Have a lollipop from last Halloween! Very, very, very, short chapter, I know! Don't hurt me! *dodges angry readers throwing forks at her* Well, I had to end this chapter at an appropriate spot! Didn't I tell you guys that this chapter would be good? And I resent anyone calling Squall OOC in this chappy! He is human after all, and I'm sure that there has to be a point in his life where he does something eccentric. Squall also thinks about himself too much, so that tied in nicely with him blackmailing everyone, don't you think? Review now and find in your mailbox a flyer that has nothing to do with this fic or FFVIII *prolly from Safeway ^_^ ! * )

*a/n: Mini Commercial to make up for the shortness of this chapter.*

Scene: Seifer has *finally* become a SeeD cadet. He's going to the stage to accept his certificate of completion of training and shakes hands with Cid, Xu, Instructor Aki and Instructor Trepe.

Cid: It took you five years, but you've finally done it.

Seifer: .......*shakes his hand*

Xu: I'm proud of you Seifer. You've finally done it.

Seifer: .......*looks her over and shakes her hand*

Instructor Aki: I don't know who you are, but you've finally done it.

Seifer: ........*frowns, but shakes his hand*

Quistis: Congratulations Seifer. You've finally done it.

Seifer: ....... *grabs Quistis and kisses her. Her hair comes out of its clip and her glasses disappear. Seifer then places a chip in her mouth and walks away.*

Strange Voice: SeeDoritos . They'll make you kiss Instructor Trepe and if you give her one, she won't hurt you.

(a/n: Uhh...don't ask. I just saw the commercial and I was like, 'Wow, that reminds me of Quistis and Seifer!'. And that guy in the commercial is kinda cute...^_^...Again, don't ask.)

(a/n: Ahh! I'm in love with Arjun Rampal! Ahh! That's just so wrong! Ahh! He's a Hindi actor, just in case you're wondering ^_^ . Thanks to my reviewers! You guys are so sweet! Like candy! Speaking of candy...uhm...I'll be right back *runz out of the room and the sound of a car pulling out is heard* )
