A/N: Hum-de-dum...Oh...right! Sorry for the delay, again! But by listening
to very freaky music (Magic Box: Carillon) I've been inspired.
Chapter Five
I waved good bye to my dear ex-instructor and stood in the doorway watching her leave. I saw her turn around one last time, smiling at me and waving. I sighed softly, with joy of course, and turned back into my apartment. I didn't even bother to yell at Raijen or Fujin who stared shocked. I walked past both of them dreamily and into my bedroom. I fell abruptly onto the bed, breathing in the soft scent of her. Raijen walked in, holding a hand up at Fujin. She crossed her arms, glaring at the man. She walked past my door to somewhere else in the apartment.
"Dude." I turned over on my back, staring up at him. "What is wrong with ya? Ya look like you've been put under, ya know, charm or something!"
I laughed softly, something I rarely did, and grinned. "More put under the spell of love."
He stared at me confused. "Ya mean Quistis and ya?" I nodded. "Whoa, dude!" I laughed again rolling back over onto my stomach.
"There's one problem," I said in a forlorn voice. "Quistis and Zell might be a couple." Raijen nodded. "Yet, I have a better chance, right?"
He shrugged softly. "I wouldn't know! Listen, all what I can tell ya is not to give up, ya know? Even if Quistis and Zell do get together, don't give up on her if ya truly love her, ya know?"
For once, Raijen made complete and utter sense. I was surprised at his words, staring at the white wall. "You know what, Raijen?"
"Yea, I know! That's bull shit, right?"
I shook my head. "You're right. Even if they do go out, I'll just beat his little chicken wuss ass!"
"That's not what I meant, ya know..."
"And if he still tries! I'll steal her away!"
"Um.Seif?" he mumbled. "That's not what I meant." I laughed evilly. "She wants to leave Garden anyway!" He threw his hands up. "I'll just give her an extra push! Raijen! Get ready for the concert tonight!"
He sighed and trudged out of my room, looking at Fujin and shaking his head. She placed her hand onto her forehead, shaking her head softly.
Hours later, after waiting for them to get ready, we left. The clock read nine forty one, and we were rushing to get there. Apparently, half of Garden was going there to perform! The rest of the crew just wanted to dance. We didn't know if it was casual or formal, but as we neared there, it was very formal. I pulled off my trench coat in the back of the cab, pulling a tie from my pocket. I handed it over to Raijen who nodded and pulled off his top shirt. Underneath, he was wearing a nice, collar T- shirt. He placed the tie on, a clip on for the goofball of course. I could never trust him with something so grand. Fujin simply peeled off her button up shirt turning to face me, nodding at me. I sighed and told the cabby to stop here.
We could walk the rest of the way, that much I figured. We stepped out of the cab and Fujin handed him ten gil. She rummaged through her purse, flicking open a compact. Women amazed me; even if they were tomboys and had no sense of feminism, they still always looked in a compact. I sighed and walked towards the large stadium. Loud club like music pounded out as we neared the stadium. We walked down, the chrome bouncing off the array of rainbow lights. Finally, I saw the group. I walked closer to them, four of them smiling and waving. Squall sat there, nodding knowingly towards my posse. Zell glared fully at me. Like I cared.
I walked over to them, stating my hellos. I suddenly then took my chance, hearing the perfect song come from the band they hired. Quickly I smiled towards Quistis. She blushed softly and Zell grasped her shoulder. "Quistis."
She looked over to me. "Yes?" she asked softly. Zell was ready to jump on me and tear me apart.
"Care to dance?" Selphie giggled sweetly, turning her head towards Quistis and nodding. Zell glared at me, yet again. I decided it was my turn to spit something out. "Zell, hasn't your mother ever told you that your face can get stuck that way?"
Quistis giggled softly, taking my hand and following me out to the dance floor. It was a quicker song, and I grasped her hips softly, rocking to the music that flowed out. She laughed softly, hiding her emotions for her friends. It was at that point I took some great advice and past it on. I placed my face right next to her ear, whispering so softly, "Just be you. I'll only like you more if you're you."
She looked deep in my eyes and suddenly the music changed. I turned towards the stage, listening to the childish tune. The soft carillon music echoed throughout the stadium. No one was playing on stage and nothing was turned on. Slowly the lead singer on the stage raised up into the air, his arms flailing about. "What the hell is going on!" he shouted. Everyone gasped as he quickly fell to gravity's law. Squall started to rush over to him, only to levitate off the ground himself. He was dragged through the sky and smashed right into the chrome wall. Rinoa screamed loudly, only to allow the flow of panic to screech out. Fujin ran up next to Quistis and myself.
"Fujin! What the hell is going on!" I shouted over the screams. One by one, each student was raised mysteriously off the ground.
"There's monsters!" someone shouted behind me. I turned around, grasping onto Fujin's hand, looking oddly at Quistis. "They're called Bogies!" she screamed, grasping onto my other arm.
"Bogies? What the hell is that?"
Suddenly, a great wind blew through. I held onto the two women, only to feel myself pushed to the ground by a brute. I spun my head softly, seeing Raijen holding onto Selphie and Irvine. I motioned for Quistis to try and stand up. She did, with much trouble, as with everyone else. We stayed low to the ground, walking underneath the stage. We heard the wind spasms outside and Quistis looked worriedly out there. "What about Squall, Rinoa, and Zell?" she whispered out. Raijen stood up prepared to go out there again.
"I'll get them!" he yelled, rushing out into the storm. I turned towards Quistis, waiting for my explanation.
"What the fucking hell are Bogies?"
Irvine looked confused, as did Selphie. So I knew it wasn't a new monster they taught at Balamb Garden. "A Bogey is...well, it's a phantom. Weapons won't work against them and they're impossible to see."
Zell was shoved in along with Rinoa. Both of them were gasping for breath. "Hyne! Did he have to yank us that hard!" Zell coughed out.
"SHUSH!" Fujin yelled out. He glared at her and checked on the stable Rinoa.
"Why shush?" she asked, breathing heavily.
I frowned softly at her. "We're trying to figure out what a Bogey is."
She looked oddly at me. "A Bogey? What's that?"
I shifted my eyes towards Quistis, who apparently knew everything about them. She sighed softly. "A Bogey is a very old monster that rarely comes out from the depths of the sea and earth." I gave her a confused look. "No one knows about it except for Blue Mages."
Zell grinned. "Lemme guess! Learn a spell from them, right?" She nodded.
"But, Bogies are impossible to see or fight. They're phantoms, ghosts, invisible beings." I sighed out.
"Then why would a piece of blue magic be inside them if they're impossible to see!"
She looked at me and frowned. Obviously, she was upset at herself. "Bogies hold the magic of invisibility."
"Well, duh!" Irvine stated. "But how do we beat them?"
Quistis pulled her knees up to her chest, frowning. "Bogies are evil jokesters of monsters. Only way to beat them is magic...that is, if you can get into a battle with them without them running away."
Selphie then said, "Then why not just summon Eden to kill them all?"
"And lose the chance of getting Invisibility?" Quistis stated. "Getting Invisibility proves that you are a true Blue Mage."
Finally, Squall was tossed in, followed by a panting Raijen. Squall took in deep breaths, trying to regain composure. I sighed softly. It's been about a year or so now since we had these SeeD talks. Boy, was I glad, surprisingly.
A/N: Sorry so confusing...carillon means soft bell sounds. If you know anything about ghosts, then you should know why I put the music in. I know this is really confusing, and I'm sorry for this chapter being so late/short. But it's going to be an interesting battle. Especially since they can't see the monsters! Hehehehe!
