Back from commercials.
Adam: Welcome back to Love Line! I'm Adam, and that's Drew. Tonight, our special guest is Zell Dincht. During the break, he was consoling his girlfriend who's been reassigned to Esthar Garden. So Zell, did you get her to stop crying?
Zell: (sighing) For a little bit, but I'm sure she'll start up again. I feel terrible! I don't want her to go!
Adam: Can't you just ask Commander Leonheart to do something about it? He is the commander after all.
Zell: But Cid's the Headmaster, he's everybody's boss.
Drew: Well, we've got a caller on the line that's got an idea. Rachel?
Rachel: Hi Adam and Dr. Drew! Hi Zell! Remember me?
Zell: Yeah, you're on the Garden Festival Committee with Selphie!
Rachel: Yup!
Adam: Now Rachel, you have an idea that can help this situation?
Rachel: Why don't we get a petition started to keep her here?
Zell: A petition?
Rachel: Yeah! I mean, Selphie is the most popular girl in the Garden! Everybody loves her! We could probably get the whole Garden to sign it! With such a strong objection to her transfer, Cid would have to let her stay!
Drew: That's sounds like a good idea!
Zell: Yeah, but how long would something like that take?
Rachel: I'm not sure, I've never done one before. Maybe a week or two?
Zell: (groaning) That's not gonna work! She's leaving the day after tomorrow.
Drew: He's right, that's not enough time.
Rachel: The day after tomorrow!? That's not even enough time to throw her a farewell party! This is terrible! (Mumbling in the background) You're right, Greg! Cid's being a total jerk!
Zell: Greg's there with you?
Rachel: Yeah, he wants to talk to you. Is that okay?
Zell: Sure.
Greg: Hey Zell! I'm real sorry to hear about Selphie. We all love her.
Zell: Thanks man.
Greg: And you know what? I heard a rumor about her getting transferred a few days ago, but I didn't think it was true! I didn't think Cid would actually send away Selphie. She's a hero, for Hyne's sake! I should've told you about it though!
Zell: Don't worry about that, Greg.
Greg: It's been so weird lately. Ever since Cid came back for his vacation this week, a lot of the rumors I've been hearing have been coming true! Selphie getting transferred, Nida going to Trabia, and even the new curfew!
Adam: What about the curfew?
Zell: Ever since that thing last week with Seifer, Cid bumped up the curfew at night from eleven to nine.
Adam: Wow that sucks!
Zell: Yeah, the only reason he let me come on here was because I was already scheduled.
Greg: Well, I'm gonna go talk to Raijin and Xu. Maybe they have some ideas.
Adam: Thanks for your call! Let's talk to Terra from Deling, she's 17.
Terra: Hi guys! I have a question for Dr. Drew.
Drew: Go ahead, Terra.
Terra: Well, I found out that my boyfriend had sex with another girl. When I asked him about it, he said that somebody had cast 'confuse' on him. Does confusion do that?
Drew: There aren't any document occurrences of people who've had 'confuse' cast on them having sex with others.
Adam: Terra, I think your boyfriend is giving you a line of chocobocrap!
Zell: Well, I've had 'confuse' cast on me before. It always had been in battle. But, you don't know that it happened to you unless somebody else tells you.
Terra: Tch. Well, thanks guys!
Adam: Sorry about that Terra! Thanks for your call. Next we have Bob, from Balamb Garden. Bob?
Bob: Hi Adam and Drew. Hi Zell.
Drew: How can we help you tonight, Bob?
Bob: Well, I was listening to the call from Rachel and Greg, about the rumors around the Garden.
Adam: What about 'em?
Bob: I heard those rumors too, from the same people they did. But, I've also heard others too. Most of them are because of last week, including Selphie getting transferred.
Zell: Selphie getting transferred is because of last week?
Bob: Yeah.
Zell: No, I don't believe Cid would do that.
Bob: Why else would he send her away so quickly? I'm sure that Esthar Garden could wait a few more days for their instructor so we could have a farewell party! Don't you think?
Zell: Yeah… I guess.
Bob: I've heard other things too.
Adam: Like what?
Bob: Like, Cid is planning to demote Xu.
Zell: Really!?
Bob: And Seifer and Raijin.
Drew: Wow!
Bob: And you.
Zell: WHAT!!! I'm getting demoted!? That can't be right!
Bob: If somebody told you a few days ago that Selphie was getting transferred, would you have believed it?
Adam: He has a point.
Zell: I just can't believe Cid would do that! Why?
Bob: Like I said, because of last week. The manhunt, the fight…
Zell: But that was Squall's idea! He's not getting demoted, is he?
Bob: Of course not, he's the commander.
Adam: That's wrong. Sure, he's not responsible for the manhunt. But the fight was his idea.
Zell: And he's not even gonna get reprimanded? But me, Xu, Raijin, and Seifer are getting demoted! That's chocobocrap! What the hell is wrong with Cid?
Bob: I don't know, but look at all the stuff that's been happening lately! First, the curfew. Then, Selphie's transfer. Now, all these demotions! What's next? He'll probably stop serving hot dogs in the cafeteria!
Zell: WHAT!!! No way! He can't do that! Somebody's gotta talk to him!
Bob: He wouldn't listen to us! We need to take action!
Drew: Wait a second…
Adam: Well Bob, what do you suggest?
Bob: I say we go on strike!
Zell: Strike?
Bob: Yeah! If the majority of the SeeD's went on strike, the Garden wouldn't be able to function! Cid would have to adhere to our demands!
Drew: What demands?
Bob: Not to have Seifer, Raijin, Xu, and Zell demoted.
Zell: And to keep Selphie at the Garden!
Drew: Our producer says that the lines are lighting up fast!
Adam: Any familiar names?
Drew: We've got Rachel again, but also Raijin and Xu on line 3.
Zell: Put Raijin on!
Raijin: Zell?
Zell: Hey Raijin! Did you hear that last call?
Raijin: Yeah, me and Xu been listen'! She's really upset now, ya know! She didn't know that Selphie was getting transferred. Neither did I, ya know! But now Headmaster Cid is gonna demote us! He can't demote me, my girl, my best friend, and you, ya know! Bob's right, we should go on strike, ya know!
Drew: Isn't this a bit drastic?
Zell: (almost yelling) Hell no! He's sending my Selphie away! And it wouldn't surprise me if he was gonna demoted all of us! And I bet Squall isn't doing anything about it either! I'm not gonna sit back and let this happen!
Raijin: Yeah! Me and Xu are with you man! (Pause, knocking heard) Who is it? (Pause, female voice, then another male voice talking) Hey Seifer! Did you hear about that rumor? (Male voice, sounding angry) You wanna talk to them? Seifer wants to talk to you guys, ya know. Is that okay?
Adam: Sure!
Seifer: Zell?
Zell: Hey Seifer.
Seifer: You're right, Zell! This is insane! Squall knows that we aren't the only one's responsible for last week! And he's not helping in the least, is he?
Zell: (grunting) Probably not!
Seifer: We need to take action! To prevent Selphie's transfer and our demotions! I'm here to announce the Disciplinary Committee is now on strike! Along with the Garden Festival Committee! The SeeD's must unite against the Capitalist Oppressor! I know you're all pissed about the new curfew! It won't be long before more oppressing rules are laid upon us!
Adam: Yeah, down with the capitalist oppressor! And with that we have to go to break! Well be back with more Love Line after this!
Cut to commercial.
Notes: Strike, strike, strike!!! Will it be successful? Or will they just get into more trouble? Is this gonna be good? Or have I just lost my mind completely? Review!
