Chapter 1.
I once went from Balamb to Esthar to see a movie.
I know, that seems a little pathetic. I mean, I could see movies in Balamb, right? It had some more reason to it. My brother Seifer and his girlfriend decided to take a quick weekend there and maybe check out the area for when they leave Garden. My mom didn't trust Seifer and Rinoa alone, so she sent me to go with them as a form of minor chaperone. I don't know why the hell she'd pick me, as I'm much smaller and am completely cool with whatever Seifer does with her, so it's like nothing. But I didn't really mind, I mean, I do get a free trip to Esthar out of the deal, I'm cool with it. So anyways, I'm there. Since we couldn't get tickets to anything else good that Friday, we all decided to just stop and see a movie. We couldn't decide on whichever one we wanted to see. I was cool with whatever, Seifer wanted to see King's Knight V for the umpteenth time, Rinoa wanted to see one of those generic teen comedies that neither star teens nor are very comedic, and I was cool with whatever. Then, Cid called Seifer for a mission...(That's the breaks of being one of the youngest of the SeeDs...) and he told me and Rinoa to go ahead. We went to see her movie, it was nothing to me. The movie sucked. However, I'm not sure which is the most pathetic thing of it: the fact that I'd go to Esthar to see a movie, the fact that I'd go to Esthar to see a bad movie, or the fact that it is probably the only time that any female would even agree to just go see a movie with me.
I know, I should probably think of some easier things. It's just that...Everyone in Garden's got somebody. I mean, there's my brother. Him and Rinoa are (depending on when you ask them) getting married ASAP, thinking of getting married, or are busy in Seifer's dorm doing as married couples do. My buddy Squall's been with this chick Selphie who we've all known for years. Selphie's the latest object of "Pimp Daddy Irvine's" affection, but he's all tempered by his woman, one of the teachers here, Quistis Trepe (who, last time I heard, also wanted Squall, or some combonation of Squall, Irvine, and Seifer.) Well, at least that's my circle of friends. Everyone has at least one person. I apparently get to end up with insomnia, late night Cinemax, and a bottle of Thousand Island dressing.
I can't believe this stuff...Seifer says eventually someone's going to come my way...Seifer is full of sh...SEIFER! What's going on, bro?
"Zell, what's up! Listen, I've got a little...problem..." Ah, Seifer. Ten to one he either asks for money or the use of my dorm as a "secondary skank-tuary."
"What do you need now?"
"Well, Rinoa's family's coming to visit Garden..." It's the dorm, it's the dorm...
What is it now?
"Well, her sister's coming with them to be enrolled here. She needs someone to show her around, and I know you haven't got any plans..." Don't rub it in. "...Would you be willing to come with us, you know, keep her sis busy?" Eh, it's not so bad. At least I'd be able to get one more person who the laws of the area would consider my sister as a notch in my Case of Patheticitude...
Sure, man.
"Great, man! They're coming at about 7. Meet us at the front." Okay...I've got something to do tonight...Groovy...Should I get changed? Eh, I'll just go with the main rules of this place: According to Galbadian law (or the law she's under), she's considered off-limits. As a result, don't change, you can't go anywhere with this girl... Hmmm, would you look at the time? Gotta go...
Ah, how bad can it be? I mean, this chick's probably going to be somewhat cool, I mean, Seifer wouldn't steer me wrong, right? She's bound to be at least okay on the eyes, I mean, Rinoa's damn cute...DO NOT TELL SEIFER I SAID THAT. Last time I did, I woke up in Dr.Kadowaki's office with this scar on my cheek...Eh, it'll be fine...
"Zell! Over here! Sis, this is Zell Dincht..." Oh, hey. She's...she's....
"Hi, my sister's told me so much about you...By the way, my name is..."
Face it, Zell, You've just hit the jackpot...
