Checking back in with our lovable Final Fantasy VIII characters, the boys have just been asked into the head office for their interviews with "The Promised Land's" owners and main headliners. A silver-haired man sits behind a large desk, flanked by two other men with silver hair. All three are flamboyantly dressed, complete with dark makeup.
Silver-haired Man #1- So, my associates tell me you boys would like to join our establishment.
Squall- That's right.
Irvine- It's always been our dream.
Silver-haired Man #2- Really? Why is that?
Irvine- Oh, you know how it is. Older sister paints you up like a barbie doll one too many times, you start liking it.
Silver-haired Man #3- *looking at Seifer* And what about you?
Seifer- Me? I....uhh....well.....it's the support hose. Can't live without 'em.
Silver-haired Man #1- Uh huh. And what about you, young man? *turning towards Zell* You've been rather quiet. Why would you like to join, "The Promised Land"?
Zell- ......please don't touch the drumstick.
*Squall glares at Seifer who starts whistling innocently*
Silver-haired Man #2- Oh, you wouldn't have to worry about anything like that......yet.
Silver-haired Man #1- Well, everything seems to be in order, and we have been looking for some new talent. You boys can start tonight.
Silver-haired Man #3- All you need now is the right costumes.....
Silver-haired Man #2- And your drag names.
Squall- Drag names?
Silver-haired Man #2- Of course. You have to have drag names.
Silver-haired Man #1- Don't worry about it too much, though. The trick is to take the name of your first pet and the first street you ever lived on. If it sounds a bit off, you can always try switching them around, or improvising a bit.
Silver-haired Man #3- You can meet with our costumers down the hall. Once they've gotten some ideas just tell them what you've come up with for names and we'll put them on the program.
Squall- Alright. Thank you very much.
Irvine- It'll be an honor working with you.
*boys start to leave, but Raijin suddenly stops and turns back to the silver-haired men*
Raijin- I don't mean to be a pest, ya know? But......why didn't you ask why I wanted to join?
Silver-haired Man #1- We just figured it was because you're gay.
Raijin- Oh, ok. *starts to leave* WHAT?!
*****
*A few minutes have passed, and the boys are waiting just outside the costume room thinking up names while waiting for Irvine to get back with some chicken*
Seifer- Well.......according to my papers from the orphanage I lived on La Rue Avenue before the Sorceress War, and my cats name is Muffy. I guess that makes me.......Muffy La Rue.
Squall- *snickering* Muffy...La Rue? *bursts out laughing*
Seifer- Oh, shut up. I'm sure yours is just as bad.
Squall- Well, I lived on Paris Road, but I've never had a pet.
Raijin- Every kid's had a pet, ya know? You must have had one once.
Squall- Hmm.......oh! There was my pet rock......Valentine!
Seifer- Pet....rock?
Squall- I loved that rock.
Raijin- Guess that makes you Valentine Paris, ya know?
Seifer- How about Paris Valentine? Sounds better.......if that's possible.
Squall- I suppose I can live with that. What about Zell?
Seifer- He's still out of it.
Zell- *wobbling around, moving his arms like a chicken, while pecking at the ground*
Seifer- Always knew he was a little pecker.
Irvine- Not for long! I've got GFC! (That's Garden Fried Chicken, if you're curious)
Seifer- Unless that's miracle chicken, I don't think it'll make much difference.
Squall- As long as he's back to normal, I don't care. Come here, Zell, we've got a treat for you.
Zell- You're not going to touch the drumstick, are you?
Squall- God, no! Just eat this.
Irvine- *lifts lid on bucket* It's extra crispy!
Zell- AHHHHHH! CHICKEN!! KEEP AWAY, KEEP AWAY! *runs away from the others down the hallway*
Seifer- Get him!
*chase ensues. In the end, the boys succeed in tackling Zell to the ground, while stuffing chicken down his throat*
Zell- No, please no! I......I......hey! This is pretty good. *Zell begins to devour the chicken on his own*
Squall- Does this mean he's going to start acting normal?
Seifer- Like that would ever happen. But I think he'll start acting like himself again.
Irvine- Maybe we should test it out.
Squall- Good idea. Hey, Zell?
Zell- *with mouth full of chicken* Yeah?
Squall- GOOSE!
Zell- No offense......but I'd rather you stayed away from my butt.
Squall- What? No, that's not what I........oh, guess he's cured.
Seifer- Time to pick a drag name then, Chicken-Wuss.
Zell- This day just gets better and better. Well, I remember most of what happened while I was.....whatever the hell I was. Which, by the way Seifer, I'm seriously going to make you pay for once we're through with this mission. Anyways......let's see.....I lived on Charmaign Boulevard, and my dog was......Fifi!
Irvine- Fifi?
Zell- It was a poodle.
Seifer- You had a poodle.......named Fifi?
Zell- Stuff it. I may be Fifi Charmaign, but I can still........
Seifer- Fall on your face?
Zell- What....? *hits the ground hard on his face as Seifer kicks his legs out from under him*
Seifer- See what I mean?
Zell- Why you.....!
Squall- Can we please hurry up with this! Raijin, what's your drag name going to be.
Raijin- I don't think mine will work, ya know? My first dog's name was Steve.
Squall- What about your street?
Raijin- Abner Drive. Not really drag material, ya know?
Squall- They did say we could improvise. How about.......Tabby Stevens! It's kind of close.
Zell- Hey, that's pretty good, Squall.
Squall- It's what the authoress' drag name would be.
Zell- Author-what?
Squall- Nothing.
Seifer- Guess that only leaves you, Cowboy.
Irvine- But I don't know what street I lived on, and all my pets died before I could name them. Even the ficus.
Raijin- You already got a great name, ya know? Just be "The Cowboy".
Irvine- It's not really a drag name, though.
Seifer- It is if you're "The Cowgirl".
Squall- Good, then the names are settled. We have to try and figure out who those three silver-haired men are.
Irvine- Wait a minute! I'm not gonna be "The Cowgirl"!
Squall- Irvine.....my patience is running thinner than Cid's hair. If you push me any further.......I'll do alot worse than just touch the drumstick!
Irvine- Do you think a long skirt would do injustice to my calves?
