There's a little bit more Zell bashing here then in the other chapters, but don't worry Zell fans, He gets some of them back. There's also a little bit more cussing in this one then in the others too so don't flame 'cause of that okay????


A Journeys Beginning
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"ASSEMBLE," yelled Headmaster Cid. Immediately everyone, including Rinoa, was in a straight line in front of Cid, Zell (because he's a guy) with Squall on his back "I need not tell you your assignment and for some of you, assignments. All further missions will be postponed or assigned to another team. Hopefully you have packed your regular clothes for Earth. The Ragnorak has been customized for the 1-week journey to earth. There are sleeping quarters on the 1st level. There is a temporary kitchen on the 1st level for your convenience. There will be an Infirmary in the main room. Dressing rooms will be on the 2nd floor. Showers have been installed on the 2nd floor near the dressing rooms. The pilot rooms are only to be accessed to deliver food to the pilot or switch with the pilot, which only Seifer, Selphie and Quistis are allowed to do. I assume you all know that the year at earth is 3719 A.D. Earth had a sudden outburst of monsters 981 years ago. You will have random encounters while on Earth, that is why you must stay on your guard at all times no matter what happens. Are you all ready?" "Yes sir," said all of the SeeDs......plus Rinoa. Zell, Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, Quistis and Seifer all entered the Ragnorak hoping that the monsters on Earth were not as ferocious as some on their planet, little do they know how dangerous their journey will become on the first day.
-----------------Ragnorak in Space at 2:00 in the morning--------------------
Papercut
By Linkin Park

Why does it feel like night today?
Something's in here's not right today
Why am I so uptight today?
Paranoia's all I got left
I don't know what stressed me first
Or how the pressure was fed
I know just what it feels like
To a voice in the back of my head
It's like a face that I hold inside
A face that awakes when I close my eyes
A face that watches everytime I lie
A face that laughs everytime I fall
So you know when its time to sink or swim
That the face inside is hearing me
Right underneath my skin

"ZELL!!!" yelled Rinoa, "WHY do you always have to play your music so goddamn loud???!!!" "Duh," said Zell who was a little thrown off guard by Rinoa's cussing, "Its awesome music, do you have to ask ?'you bitch' " he thought to himself. "Ya! I have to ask considering its 2:00 in the morning!!!!!" "Who says so?" asked Zell in a mocking way. " The author you dipshit!" "Oh" was Zells reply before Rinoa slapped him with a good solid 'SMACK' on his cheek. "Yea, 'oh' is right, now go to sleep like a normal person!!!"
--------------------Wake-up time----------------
"Thanks to your music Chicken-wuss, I only got 4 hours of sleep," said Seifer who wished he could fall asleep again but couldn't and cursed Zell because of it, but it was his time to fly the ship so he was kinda nervous considering it was his first time flying the ship. "I AM NOT A CHICKEN-WUSS!!!!!!!" yelled a pissed off Zell. "IF YOU REALLY THINK I'M A CHICKEN-WUSS THEN SAY IT TO MY FACE!!!!" "Okay," said Seifer while he walked up to Zell, who had veins popping out on his forehead anime-style, "Chicken-wuss" Seifer walked away looking very proud well Zell's sweat dropped, also anime-style.
"Fricken fine" said Zell who lost a bit of his masculine pride as he said those words. "Hey Zell," said Quistis, "Do you think you could whip up some breakfast?" " What do I look like a maid?!" Asked Zell. "No, but you are the cook," said Rinoa joining into their conversation. Once again Zell's sweat dropped (yes anime-style) "Fine, as long as I get to play my music as loud as I want to!" said Zell feeling a bit better knowing that they were starving and would do anything for food. "Damn you!" yelled Rinoa. "Fine" she said Rinoa also lost a bit of her pride.
-------------Kitchen----------------
"I cannot take this anymore. I'm saying all the things I've said before. All these words they make no sense. I found bliss in ignorance," said Zell singing to his favorite song. "Yea, you are pretty ignorant," said Irvine stepping into the kitchen. "Is the food done yet?" "Yup, it's done," said Zell ignoring that last remark Irvine made. "Good, give it to me then," said Irvine in a way that got Zell pissed. "Fine," said Zell with a smirk on his face. "Here you go!!!" yelled Zell as he hurled the food out of the pan and towards Irvine. "What the hell!!!" said Irvine as 6 eggs over easy splattered all over his face. "ZELL!!! I JUST TOOK A SHOWER!!!" Irvine yelled at Zell, who was now doubling over with laughter. "Yea!!! Well you look like you just got in a fight with a chicken and lost!!!" "You're the chicken, CHICKEN-WUSS!!" said Irvine using Seifer's word. "What you call me?!?!?" said Zell getting really mad. Irvine immediately regretted calling Zell a chicken-wuss. "Chicken-wuss??.......AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!" yelled Irvine as the red-faced Zell started chasing him around the Ragnorak. Irvine ran on the platform that goes to the pilots cabin. "Fine you baby, run away like the chicken-wuss you are!" yelled Zell through short ragged breaths. Just then the platform stopped and down came Irvine with his gun aimed at Zell. "OH SHIT!!!!!!!!" yelled Zell as he stared wide-eyed at the gun barrel. As Irvine cocked the trigger Zell ran out of that room screaming like a banshee. "Works like a charm," said Irvine as he put the gun back in its holder. "CRAP!!!" was what Irvine heard as a huge propogater came barreling after Zell. "What is that thing???!!!" yelled Irvine.
------------Infirmary------------
Rinoa hummed as she checked Squalls heart rate and breathing. "Everything seems to be fine," she said to herself. She heard something strange in the hatch room but eventually shrugged it off as her imagination. A few minutes later Zell came running out of the room above screaming like a nut. She stared strangely at him then went back to work thinking that he saw a huge spider. She chuckeled as she thought of Zell screaming over a spider. "CRAP!!!!" yelled Rinoa as a Propagater ran after Zell. "I thought Squall and I got rid of those things!!!" she screamed as she ran upstairs to the hatch room not sure how many Propagaters she would have to face. 'Oh well,' she thought as she opened the door to the hatch room, 'This is for Squall........I will make you proud of me Squall'.........

What will happen to the dear Rinoa? Will she make Squall proud? Will Zell ever stop screaming? Will I write the next chapter??? I might if I get more good reviews than flames I might!!!!!! Üü please R/R with comments or suggestions only please.
