"Oh yeah," said Cassy, coming to realization.
"We could put Squall with Zell." Suggested Amber.
"And drive Squall out of his mind?" asked Cassy.
"Well, where do you want to put them?" asked Amber.
"I don't know." Cassy answered. "I know that you were originally supposed to sleep in the guestroom, that's what my parents said."
"Idea!" cried Amber. "I'll SHARE the bed with Squall." She said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"What?!" cried Cassy. "I know what you're capable of, Amber dear."
"I know." Said Amber, nodding, a mischievous smile on her face.
"You'll molest him."
"I WILL NOT!!" cried Amber. "EVIL Cassy."
"Me? Noooo…" said Cassy.
"Okay, okay. So say Squall does sleep with me. In the same bed." Amber said quickly, seeing the look on Cassy's face.
"What do you reckon Rinoa would say?" asked Cassy.
"She'd whine." Said Amber. "One of her best talents. WHINING."
Cassy laughed. "Right, right. So I'm guessing putting Squall and Zell together would be the only solution."
"So where am I going to sleep?" asked Amber.
"Dunno, the dog house is comfy, KIDDING, KIDDING!!" Cassy said hastily seeing the murderous look on her friend's face.
"Okay, my idea." Said Amber. "Put Squall in with me - be quiet and listen." Said Amber as Cassy opened her mouth to say something.
"Put Squall in with me, Zell in your bro's room and Seifer in with you."
"Noooo… noooo… Seifer in MY room?!" cried Cassy.
"Okay, okay, we'll go with your first idea. Squall and Zell together, and Seifer in Jeffrey's room. Happy?"
"Yes, okay. Wait! The sofa in the den opens out, I just remembered." Cried Cassy.
"Good, dump Irvine and Selphie there and Zell in the living room couch."
"Yes and you and me can sleep in the study/guestroom. Squall in Jeffrey's and Seifer in mine."
"Nooo, Squall in Jeffrey's?" repeated Amber.
"That's just as bad as Seifer in Jeffrey's." said Cassy, "I'm not sleeping in Jeffrey's"
"Neither am I." Said Amber. They were silent.
"Okay, this is stupid, think grown up about this." Said Amber after a while.
"Yeah, okay, Seifer in Jeffrey's, Squall in mine and you and me in the study, okay?" said Cassy.
"Good, let's go tell them." The two girls made their way to Cassy's room.
"What the HELL is taking them so long?" asked Rinoa. "It's been an hour! What time is it?"
"Umm…" Irvine looked around the small room for a clock. "10.01?"
"Its dark outside, so -" Squall was interrupted by the door flying open.
"You're back," said Rinoa, "Finally."
"Yes, I know." Said Amber. She looked toward the rest of the group. "So we've decided."
"Yes we have." Said Cassy.
"Good, I'm sleepy," said Selphie, resting her head on Irvine's arm. He was too tall for her head to find his shoulder.
"Okay, Quistis and Rinoa are gonna sleep in my parents' room." Said Cassy.
"Is that okay?" asked Quistis. "I mean, your parents."
"I don't think they'll mind. They won't be back for a few weeks." Explained Cassy.
"Okay," nodded Quistis, seeming satified.
"Yes, Selphie and Irvine will sleep in the den on the sofa." Continued Amber.
"It pulls out, so it fits two people." Said Cassy, looking toward them. "No midnight love-making, okay?"
"What?! We never do that!" cried Irvine.
"Yes, and we don't intend to, right Irvy?" said Selphie.
"Not yet anyway." Said Irvine.
Cassy snickered. "Okay, that's settled then." She cleared her throat. "Seifer will sleep in my brother's room and Squall in mine."
"Wait, where are you gonna sleep?" asked Squall.
"There's a bed in the study/guestroom, accommodates two people." Explained Cassy.
"And we know we can't put any of you guys together, because we know what you're capable of." Said Amber.
"Thank you." Said Zell, glaring at Seifer. Seifer smirked at him.
"You're lucky." He said to Zell.
Cassy looked between the two of them. Right she thought.
"Ahem and Zell will sleep on the couch in the living room downstairs." Said Amber.
"Good, now that that's settled." Said Irvine. "We'll be going now." They headed out the door and down the stairs.
"I'm tired." Said Quistis, stifling a yawn. "Where's your parents room? I think I'm gonna conk out any minute."
"Down the hall to your right." Directed Cassy. "Last door you see."
"Thank you." Said Quistis and made her way out.
"Living room, Zell." Said Cassy. "Amber'll take you."
"Come on Zell." Amber took Zell's hand and led him downstairs.
"He gets an escort?" asked Seifer. "What about me, babe?" He looked toward Cassy.
"Its just next door." Said Cassy. "But if you really want me to show you."
"I do." Said Seifer. Cassy smiled at him and led him out of the room. Now Squall was alone.
So now what? he thought to himself as he lay down on Cassy's bed. His eyes wandered around the room. Photos of her people littered the shelf in front of him. Squall sat up and leaned over to get a closer look. A pictured of the two girls, with their arms around eachother. Another picture of a two guys and another girl. A portrait of a guy. A superhero of some sort with his arm around Cassy. Strange thought Squall as he lay back down. He looked around the room some more. A large fabric picture of him hung on a shelf by the desk. Squall's eye grew wide as he got up to get a closer look. The features drawn were identical to his own. The words "Final Fantasy VIII" were strewn across in the background. The picture showed him holding a gunblade duplicate to his own. He suddenly found himself wondering deeply of exactly where he came from. Not from some orphanage in Centra. He felt he didn't really exist. Squall was confused and wanted to know more of this Final Fantasy VIII game that exist in this dimension. He lay back in the bed, deep in thought. At that moment, the door open and Amber stuck her head in.
"Comfy?" she asked, smiling. Squall nodded smiling back.
"Good, well, mind if I turn out the light?" she asked, her hand posed over the light switch.
"No," replied Squall, shaking his head.
"Good night then." Said Amber, switching off the light. The door shut and Squall was left in the dark thinking.
She kissed me before he thought, remembering on the night's events. Why though?
"Okay, this isn't good. I'm bored now." Said Cassy sitting up. The dim light of the lamp on the bedside shone eerily on her face.
"I wanna play FFVIII." She said.
"What? Are you crazy?" Amber shrieked, quietly. "Make them more paranoid then they already are?"
"Yeah, I guess, so what do you think we should do tomorrow?" Amber asked.
"I don't know." Answered Cassy, truthfully.
"I know you promised Rinoa you'd take her bra shopping." Said Amber, giggling.
"Bra shopping! Good idea! We'll take them bra shopping." Said Cassy.
"Yeah, but I'd doubt Zell would agree." Said Amber.
"Oh yeah, I guess we could drop them off at an arcade. Show 'em how to play." Suggested Cassy.
"It would be a good idea if die-hard FFVIII fans weren't present." Said Amber. "Which they probably will be."
"Damn, so what do we -" But Cassy was interrupted by the sound of the phone ringing, shrilly.
"What the hell? Who would be calling at this time?!" cried Cassy, diving for the phone before it had a chance to wake anyone up.
"Shit, wonder if they have phones in FFVIII dimension." Said Amber, getting out of bed. "I'll go check if anyone got freaked." She said, and made her way out.
"Good idea." Said Cassy, as she answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Hello?" said a familiar voice. "Umm… Cassy?"
"Yeah? Who's this?" Cassy couldn't quite place the voice.
"It's… um… its me… Josh."
Cassy's eyes widened. She dropped the phone.
ehehe... josh is someone... like that ashton dude... ehehe.. *nervous laughter*
"We could put Squall with Zell." Suggested Amber.
"And drive Squall out of his mind?" asked Cassy.
