"DAMN!" he uttered, rubbing his head, as Selphie walked into the room, "Do you always wake up this early to bug people?!?!?" Selphie sighed and walked over to him, hands on hips.
"Get up and go to breakfast," she demanded. Zell hated her tone of voice, it was like a signal for him to know that she was in her 'Or Else Mood'. He slowly got up, taking every bit of time, just to annoy the young girl.
"What's takin' that guy so long?" Zell complained, being grouchy as ever, "Just because he got some stupid reputation in Garden, doesn't mean he be some king, makin' us wait for his lazy ass."
Quistis looked at Zell, as a smile spread across her pale face, "Zell, calm down. You should know how Irvine is already-----," she quickly turned around to see Squall Leonhart and Rinoa Heartilly standing behind her. Rinoa still had that joyous smile she always wore on her round face, that Quistis knew Squall adored so much.
"Hey, where's Irvine?" Rinoa questioned, her face with concern. Zell sighed, as he stood up to stretch.
"Still makin' us wait," he replied simply, leaning over the table. Voices were then heard from a distance, as Quistis noticed Irvine and Selphie walking in. Irvine slowly pulled out a chair beside Zell.
"Tsk! Now we can eat," Zell mumbled, cracking his knuckles. Selphie took a glance at him, then sighed loudly. Zell just flashed a cheesy grin, then took a big bite out of his pancake.
"So, how was yesterday?" Rinoa asked, staring at Irvine. He looked up at her, for half a minute and returned to his breakfast, "Irvine is something wrong?"
He shook his head, "Nothin' at all...it's just I'm worn out from last night." Selphie grinned.
"Yeah, talk about coming extra late...I wonder," she replied. Quistis looked at the cheerful girl, then to Zell, who began to open up his mouth to say something.
"Ay, why you bein' nosy?" he asked, swallowing hard. Selphie stuck out her tounge and continued with her food.
"Soooo, where were you, Irvine?" asked Rinoa, with a smile.
Irvine's expression began to change, "I had a couple of dates, that's all." She smiled, then winked at Selphie. Quistis glanced over to Squall, he wasn't very talkative, even after all that happened. As for Irvine, he didn't seem to talk much either. She then remembered back to the past night, and how they all sat around the dinner table, discussing about how many girls Irvine could get in bed. This made Quistis laugh softly to herself. Her friends all stared at her, blankly.
"Ahhh, Quisty are you, Okay?" Squall asked, for once opening his mouth.
She smiled, happily, "Oh, I'm fine, I was just thinking that's all."
"Ooooh, lemme hear!" Zell exclaimed, dropping a piece of pancake out of his mouth and onto the table.
LATER THAT AFTERNOON....
"No, Zell, you did it all wrong, that's not how you suppose to deal," Selphie squealed, snatching the cards from Zell's hand. Zell returned a dirty look and snatched it back. Irvine just sat and stared at the two snatching it back and fourth, back and fourth.
He quickly snatched it from them, "Quit it! You two both don't know how to play, PERIOD! Let me deal!" Selphie and Zell looked at one another, but just agreed with Irvine.
"Ok, here goes, SElphie you play with the four pair. I'm gettin' confused here," he stated, noticing Quistis walking towards them.
"Yo! Irvine! Pay attention, will ya???" complained Zell, as he slowly took a peek at Irvine's card.
"Evenin' Quistis. So how's the lovely lady, I've been waiting for all day doin'?" Irvine asked, as he slowly came in front of her. She just smiled, tauntingly.
"Irvine, what do you want?" she questioned, thinking it was jsut another one of his practical jokes. Quistis tried to push through Irvine, but was stopped again. He sloiwly wrapped his arm around her shoulders, with his trademark smile.
"Oooooh,...." Selphie murmured, as Zell leaned over her cards.
"Ow! Selphie! Don't hit me again! Or ELSE!" he warned, pulling his eyes away from her cards. Quistis quickly pulled away, and walked off. Irvine didn't take his eyes off of her, until she completely left his sight.
Squall sat in ambelishment, as Rinoa explained to him avbout the date that she had planned for themselves that night. He getnly scratched his head.
"Rinoa, come on, I don't know...it seems so boring, he uttered. Rinoa soht him a dirty look. But turned away, as she noticed Zell and Quisti walking their way.
"Zell, can't you live without thoses hot dogs for even an hour?" she asked, shaking her head.
"Who do you think I am? Didn't I not tell you that my middle name was Hot Dog," Zell said, a serious look upon his face. Quistis smiled, nearly laughing.
"I thought you told me your middle name was Dott----," Quistis was suddenly stopped by Zell's hand around her mouth.
"Yo, ain't nobody suppose to know about that," he whispered, looking around, as he felt his ears begin to burn up. Rinoa turned around, noticing the two in the middle of the room.
"Hey, guys," Rinoa exclaimed, with a smile.
"Damn, that girls always smilin'," Zell uttered, holding onto his plate of hot dogs. Quistis gave him a sly look. They quickly walked over, Zell pulling a chair beside Squall.
"Where's Irvine?" Rinoa questioned, staring at Quistis.
"Huh?? What makes you think I know?" she asked, startled. Squall and Rinoa exchanged glances, with an odd expression.
