A Night to Remember
Disclaimer: I do
NOT own FF8… They b-long to
Squaresoft. There is a song you might
recognize in here!!! J
"WAKE UP,
SLEEPYHEAD!!!!!!" cried out a familiar voice.
"Ahhhhh!!! Selphie!!!!
My gosh you scared the daylights out of me!"
"Come on,
Rinoa! Get out of bed. Quistis and I planned an exciting day today,
so hurry up and get ready. We've got a
party to crash!"
The reluctant
Rinoa lazily got out of bed, but slipped and fell on the floor of her
dorm. "Ooow," she winced.
"Hehe," Selphie
snickered under her breath. "We'll be
waiting for you in the cafeteria. Don't
take so long, okay? Bye!" She closed the door and disappeared into the
corridors of Balamb Garden.
Walking to her
bathroom, Rinoa changed into her usual blue outfit and brushed her teeth. Wonder what the girls are up to today…After
freshening herself up, she walked to the cafeteria.
"Hey Rinoa!"
greeted Quistis, Selphie, Zell, and Irvine.
"Hey guys, so,
who wants hotdogs?"
As usual, Zell
blurts out "I do!" They sat around a
table and ate while chatting about training, tests, guys…………and speaking of
guys………
"Where's Squall?"
asked Rinoa. She likes him very much,
and the day wouldn't be better for her if Squall wasn't there eating with them.
Zell
grinned. "Guess he's still sleeping
like a baby." He laughed and looked
around. Everyone was hiding their
faces, trying so hard not to burst out laughing. "Hey, what's wrong with you guys? It's not like he's behind me or anything, right?" He looked back. His eyes met with…………….Squall's.
"Uh…hey buddy!! How's your morning? Heh heh."
"Good mornin',"
greeted Irvine.
Squall rolled his
eyes. "Whatever." Ignoring Zell, he looked at Rinoa. Rinoa smiled sheepishly and continued
eating. "So, what's new everybody," he
asked.
"Oh," commenced
Quistis, "Selphie and I had made plans for us to go to a party tonight. We're going to have a lot of fun!"
Selphie
smiled. "Okay people, the party starts
at 7:00 p.m., so right now, we have only…" she looks at her watch, "8 hours to
get ready. So, Quistis, Rinoa, shall we
go hit the mall and shop till we drop?"
Quistis stood up.
"Let's go! Oh, and guys, wait for us at the club."
Rinoa looked up.
"Yea, let's go." She stole a peek at
Squall. He noticed and smiled at
her. Gosh, he's so cute. Rinoa looked around for Quistis and Selphie,
and realized that they were almost near the exit door.
"Hey guys! Wait
up!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The three girls
arrived at the mall shortly. "Oh, this
is going to be a great party. We'll get
great outfits that will knock the guys dead, won't we?" exclaimed a quite
excited Selphie.
"Yeah, so let's
start shopping!" Rinoa and Quistis shouted in unison.
They headed to a
dress shop and started rummaging through the clothes. Hmm, what should I pick out? Rinoa thought. Something that will make Squall say,
"Wow!" Rinoa continued going
through. Aha! She reached out a beautiful satin black,
spaghetti-strap dress.
Selphie, going in
the petite section, picked out a leather outfit. It was a halter top with a tight mini skirt. This will knock Irvine dead. Hehe.
Quistis was going
for the more sophisticated look; not too revealing and not too much cover. Searching through the many racks of clothes,
she finally found the perfect outfit. A
red tank along with a black, flare-bottom, twill pants. Perfect!
Rinoa, Selphie,
and Quistis went to the dressing rooms and changed into their picked
outfits. They walked out with their
outfits to get each other's opinion.
"So, what do you
think?" asked Selphie. The mini skirt
made her legs seemed longer and skinnier.
"Wow,
Selphie! Irvine's really gonna like
this." Quistis winked at her.
"Oh shut up….but
you think he's gonna like it?"
Rinoa
smiled. "Selphie, I'll bet you he's
gonna go head over heals when he see you in that sleek outfit of yours. By the way, Quistis, you look stunning."
"Thank you, so do
you, and I think Squall is going to like it more than you do."
Rinoa
blushed. The girls went back in the
rooms to change back and after set off to the cashier. Back at the Garden………………….
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Irvine looked at
his watch. "I wonder what the girls are
taking so long just to buy some clothes."
"I guess they
want to look their best for us, heh heh," grinned Zell.
Squall also
looked at his watch. "Well, guys, it's
6:30. Might as well go get changed at
wait up for the girls until they arrive."
They went to their dorms and changed into their casual clothes. Zell slipped in some of his blue jeans and a
white shirt. Irvine, changed into his
black jeans and a white t-shirt, while Squall put on his black jeans and a
black muscle shirt. He wanted to look
his best for Rinoa. After they're
ready, they set off to the club and waited there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At Selphie's
dorm, Rinoa, Quistis, and Selphie changed and put on their makeup. Quistis didn't want much of a dramatic look,
so she put on some subtle, pale colors.
Selphie went directly to the dramatic look. Her innocent-looking self didn't look innocent anymore. Rinoa thought, I don't want a dramatic
nor a subtle look…..but I want something that would be noticing to Squall. She reached for a dark red lipstick and put
on some light blue eye shadow. I
think this would be it.
Quistis reached
for her bag. "Ready to go?"
"Yep, let's go!!"
shouted Selphie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the club……..
"Man, what's
taking those girls soooo long?" complained Irvine. "How long would it be just to.."
He stopped. About 20 feet away,
he saw three ravishing looking girls walking towards Squall, Zell, and
himself. "Hey, hey ladies! Why, hello Selphie. You're lookin' pretty tonight." Irvine escorted her in the club.
Zell blew out a
wolf whistle at Quistis. "Oh stop it,"
Quistis blushed. He escorted her in.
Squall looked at
Rinoa. Man, she looks
beautiful. "Hi Rinoa. You look….great." Great? What am I
thinking? She looks fine!
"Thanks," Rinoa
smiled adoringly at him. They went in
together with their hands with each other's.
Selphie had already
reserved a table for the gang, and they sat down with their dates. Selphie tugged at Irvine's sleeve, hinting
him to go dance. "Wanna dance?" she
stared at him with her dramatic eyes.
"Sure Selphie,
anything for this beautiful lady of mine."
Selphie looked at
the two other couples. "Come dance!"
Zell shrugged his
shoulders. "Nah, we'll just sit here."
Quistis looked at
him. "Oh no we're not." She dragged him to the dance floor and they
danced to the music.
Squall and Rinoa
sat at the table and looked at each other.
Moments after, a soft song came up, and Squall motioned her to go dance
with him. She smiled, took his hand, and went upon the dance floor. She put her head against his chest. She could hear his heartbeat. Squall wrapped his arms around her body,
like he never want her to leave. (music):
So let me come to you, close as I wanna be.
Close enough for me, to feel your heart beating fast. And stay there as I whisper, how I love your
peaceful eyes on me……
Squall stroked
her hair gently and whispered to her ear, "I love you." The two of them danced romantically to the
song.
When the song was
over, Squall and Rinoa left the party and went outside alone together. They stood under the stars of the night.
"They're
beautiful," Rinoa said, looking to the stars.
"But not as
beautiful as you," Squall answered.
They both smiled,
and hugged. Squall could smell the
sweet scent of her hair, and he kissed her forehead. Their eyes met. Squall
looked into the deep brown eyes of Rinoa, his girl, and no one
else's. "I love you," Rinoa said
softly. She stroked his face, and
slowly, her soft warm lips pressed gently against his………….
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
BEEP!
"Huh?!" Rinoa woke up.
