*Disclaimer* I don't own Final Fantasy 8, and instead of poking fun at it, I'm trying to make a serious story here. So, don't sue, I own nothing. Seriously...
Chapter 3
"Who's going to tell him?" Irivine leaned forward looking around the table of familiar faces, Selphie, Quistis, and Zell.
"I'm not!" Selphie said raising her arm in the air.
"Thanks for the help Selphie.." Zell sighed looking at Quistis.
"I'll tell him.." Quistis sighed looking down at her wine.
"He isn't going to be happy.." Irivine said wiping his mouth with his hand.
"Really? You think?" Quistis snapped, then sighed.
"Sorry..." Quistis grumbled. Irivine nodded, he knew she didn't want to do this to Squall, she didn't want to do this to him, it would break him again.
" Speak of the devil..." Zell said pointing his beer at the incoming soldier. Squall had just got off of duty, he sat down at the usual bar stool, and ordered his rum and glass. Quistis slowly stood up, she pushed in her chair. The gang's eyes followed her as she walked to Squall.
"Hi Squall!" Quistis said , trying to be preppy. Squall gave some kind of mumble.
"Um..whats up?" Quistis said again, trying to keep the convo moving.
"What is it Quistis.." Squall gulped down his hard liquid, slamming the glass on the table, Quistis jumped slightly.
"It's ..about Rinoa.." Quistis mumbled quickly her words smashing together. Squall quickly stood up, flipping his stool over, he staggered for a moment then pointed his finger in Quistis face.
"Dont..you ever say her name again, do you understand?!" Squall yelled at Quistis. Quistis caught slightly off guard tried to regroup.
" B-B-But Squall..." She started she was cut off by a yell. Squall pushed her against the wall holding her firmly.
"NO! Never ever again! I don't want to hear about her, I don't want to remember the way she walked, the way she talked, the way she kissed me. I don't want to remember the pain I feel cause I can't be with her! I don't want to remember that when I wake up tomorrow she won't be lying next to me!" Squall sat down his head hanging down his hair slowly coming forward.
"Never..again.." Squall mumbled.
"But Squall!" Quistis yelled. Squall stood up again.
"NO!" Squall yelled turning and walking away, he stopped in his tracks, there stood the object of his affection, the object of his drunkenness, the object of his pain.
"Rinoa...." Squall stated slowly. They both stood there, Squall wearing a facial expression of pure shock, Rinoa looking scared and in pain. Squall paused then walked past her out of the bar. Rinoa stood there taking a smell of Squall as she passed him.
"He smells like Rum.." Rinoa whispered. Zell stood up watching Rinoa.
"Whose fault is that?" Zell asked bitterly. Selphie stood up between Rinoa and Zell.
"Don't point fingers Zell.."Selphie said quietly.
"You don't understand Selphie, remember that asshole journalist that is suppose to take us out of business? Met her, Rinoa, Ex of Squall..." Irivine stood up next to Zell pointing to Rinoa. Rinoa looked down, then raised her eyes back to the group that use to be her friends. Quistis sighed then looked at Irivine and Zell.
"Give it a break you guys, she's back.." Quistis said looking at Rinoa and attempted a smile. Rinoa sighed turned away and left the bar following Squall's lead. Quistis sighed and sat down at the table.
"I have an idea.." Selphie said with a playful smirk. Zell took a swig of his beer.
"Well let's hear it dear.." Irivine said taking Selphie's hand.
"Lets put them back together..." Selphie said raising her eyebrows up and down.
"Are you mad?!" Zell almost choked on his beer.
"I must say, that does sound pretty mad, but we need to do something. They're both miserable, Squall loves her, he would have moved on if he didn't. Rinoa avoided this place for this long, we're her friends right? She didn't even come here to make him jealous or talk to us. She must be hurt guys..." Quistis stated finally.
"It's the only way, we can kill two birds with one stone!" Zell nodded slamming his beer on the table.
"Deal.." Selphie said.
"Let's do it!" Irivine nodded.
Quistis, Irivine, Selphie, and Zell put their hands in the middle and made a pact, to get the love birds together at all cost...
