Scene 1- Zedira Spryte and Terra Brand's Dorm Room

Scene 1- Zedira Spryte and Terra Brand's Dorm Room.

Without warning there was a loud slam downstairs. Followed by the sound of someone noisely running up the stairs. After another door slam, a young woman entered the room. Her name was Zedira. Zed to her friends. Zed's hair was a dark vivid green. Her eyes were as a clear, sunny, blue sky. Zed's skin was a olive-brown color. Zed was wearing old, dirty, blue jeans. She also sported a red long sleaved t-shirt, green sneackers, and purple socks. Her beloved jacket was flung over one sholder, along with her sword. The other arm was holding her army backpack, flute case, and books. Zed ran in to her room. Seconds later the sounds of books being hurled on a desk, back pack tossed on bed, flute thrown after backpack, and sword gently placed on the wall were heard. Zed then walked over to Terra's room. She stood there in front of Terra, panting slightly, grinning broadly, jacket still over one sholder. Zed glanced around the room as she panted for breath.

Terra was sitting Indian style three feet above her freshly made bed. Terra was wearing faded blue jeans and a sweater. Her sweater is a faded green. A yin/yang symbol had been stitched on the front. The back had the image of a naked flaming person. The only one who thought the human was female was Terra. No one else could see any obvious female traits. Terra herself was very feminine. Her light green hair flowed down to her waist. Her right then closed eyes were a warm, energetic, faintly glowing green. Her skin was a smooth, creamy, pale white. Terra was also barefooted.

Terra and Zed were complete opposites. Terra was calm and collected. She could sit and ponder for days. Her patience was virtually limitless. Zed, on the other hand, never stopped moving. She was fast, strong, and eternally restless. This annoyed many, many, many teachers.

"Hola, Mondo!" Zed called out at Terra.

"Hello, Zed" Terra replied. Terra was so used to her bouncing dorm mate that she could still meditate through almost anything.

Zed laughed. She had something that would even shock Terra. But, she had a job to do first.

"Well, foolsball practice was intersecting, today!" she said.

Terra frowned slightly. She knew how Zed felt about football. The active girl had declared war on the entire football team. Already Zed had ruined four different games. The only football player Zed could stand was Locke. And that was because Locke hated the football team even more then Zed!

"What did you do?" Terra finally asked.

Zed simply ignored Terra's well earned suspicion. Her job wasn't done yet.

"Mr. W brought his daughter by. Cute little girl. Really sweet."

"Zed, what did you-" Terra to ask.

"Marlene." Zed practically sang out.

"What?" Terra asked. The floating woman was to the outside calm. Inside she was seething. Zed could be so annoying!

"Mr. W's daughter's name is Marlene." Zed said. She was grinning like that cat who got the cream.

"Mister Wallace's daughter's name is Marlene." Terra corrected Zed, absently. When will Zedira get to the point Terra thought.

"Anyway, Marlene asked every female there if her dad was dating anyone. It was sooooooo funny." Zed giggled from the memory, "She really wants Mr. Wallace to fall in love. I don't know why. Yet."

Terra smiled inwardly at that. Yet another of Zed's strangeness. She knew pretty much all secrets of the students, teachers, and citizens. It was like magic. But, Zed wasn't magically strong enough to light a candle! Ah, well. Back To Zed's report.

"Then in manual Labor, Cid-"

"Heavy Machinery, Zed."

"Whatever! Anyway, Cid cussed at Scar head!"

"Captain Highwind reprimanded Seifer Almasy."

"Yea, yea, yea."

"Proper names are a sign of respect, Zedira Spryte!"

Zed sighed, "Do you want today's update or not?"

"Yes, please" Terra murmured.

"Nothing note while in the rest of my classed. There are three late comers. Locke & Celes, Cloud & Tifa & Aries, and Ryu & Nina are the couple up for the King and Queen." Zed though further for a second. "S." she added.

"So, two more couples to find. Anything on the teacher pairs?"

"Cid & Shera refused the position."

Terra laughed silently. Of course. They only won for six years in a row. "I see" she said.

"Someone entered Silk and Aloisa." Zed said.

Terra felt herself rise half a foot. She could feel the smile start on her face. "They would never date! What happened to the person?"

"I don't know." Terra couldn't see the puzzled frown on Zed's faces. As if the young woman had encountered a not possible fact. Like the sky and earth had switched colors. Zed shook off her momentary calm. "I'm looking for any other dating teachers. I think Prof. Snape is dating someone."

"Good! Who?"

"Don't know yet." Zed turned and stared at Terra, "Edgar really wants to go to the ball with you."

Terra sank a foot, "I knew that."

"He, ah, was boosting about you at football practice."

Terra sank even more. Zed never said football. Only once had she said football instead of foolsball. And that had been when Locke almost died. "What did he say." Terra almost didn't recognize her voice. It was calm and steady. She, on the other hand, was in turmoil.

"He, um, was boosting about, err, you giving him the goods last night. Twice."

Dimly Terra began to understand Fujin's one word sentences. They worked so very well.

Terra wasn't aware of her body landing on the bed. Or Zed backing up against the wall in fear. Or her eyes snapping open. Or her legs making her stand up. Or her feet moving her out the room, down the stairs, through the dorm door, and down the street. She was aware of the pure, growing, fiery,- "RAGE!" the glowing woman screamed at the top of her lungs. Still screaming she charged down the street. Toward an idiotic male named Edgar.

Zed blinked at the Terra shaped hole in their door. Well, I guess she finally got pissed. Unbidden a laugh started at the pit of Zed's stomach. It bloomed up her chest, through her throat, and out her mouth. Shaking Zed fell on the bed, still laughing like a manic. Oh man, Edgar. You are such a schmuk, it's not funny! Terra is proud of her virginity. If you wanted an easy lay, well, Terra is definitely not it! You should have gotten' a hooker! They, at least, are not Sorceress in training! Still giggling, Zed walked after Terra. After all, someone, would have to call 911. Edgar's friends were too fussy to do anything but run.

So once Zed had gotten out of the dorm, she started running. Terra was fast when she was enraged.
