(Author's Note: Had what I thought was a great idea on the way to work today…remember the Selphie's Diary page on the Balamb

(Author's Note: the continuation of something I figured for a one-shot deal. But YOU, the readers, asked for this. Therefore…I WANT REVIEWS!! Pretty please?)

The Balamb Garden Gossip Column

An uncharacteristic laugh escaped Fujin's lips as she typed the news…

Item: The Garden Festival was a huge success, thanks to our illustrious, but too-damn-perky chairperson. THE social event of the season, as President Laguna Loire made a boring-but-brief speech about "harmony between Esthar and Galbadia." But my sources say General Caraway was seen gagging during that speech. Was it a sign of animosity, or did he choke on some bad fish? You decide…

Item: Regarding the Instructor's love life mentioned last time…so far, the strong-man is a surprising top contender for the lady's affections. We at the Rumor Mill salute your bravery.

As the song says…Whip it, whip it good.

Item: A certain pig-tailed librarian was seen leaving the Infirmary in tears. Not too long after that, a shotgun-slinger was seen passed out in front of her. Are you thinking what I am? Oh…like KEEP YOUR GUN HOLSTERED!!!

Item: A certain Gun-blader has been having fits lately, regarding the loss of his beloved Triple Triad cards. That's what you get for playing an Imp card on a Behemoth…better luck next time.

Item: The Headmaster has quite a little love shack going these days…not only has he done the deed in there, but some would venture to say that a Sorceress and a martial artist took a peek at what that little place had to offer, after they were spotted leaving, and looking a little out of breath.

PSA for the week: Don't antagonize a Gun-blade specialist…especially when he's not gettin' any lovin'.

Item: Piloting the Garden can be a lonely and unforgiving job…good thing our pilot has a little company up there…ever wonder why we keep running aground?

Item: The next SeeD Field Exam is slated for three days from now…here's hoping a certain somebody doesn't try to play hero again. FOLLOW ORDERS, SEIFER, AND FORGET THOSE STUPID CARDS!

That's the news for this week…I'm out of here like Hot Dogs in the Cafeteria,

The Rumor Mill…

Fujin finished the update, and uploaded it. Giggling like mad, she shut down the connection.

It wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't all true, she thought.
