aznchika: It's that time again!

Seifer: Time for what exactly?

aznchika: SECOND CHAPTER OF COMPLICATED LOVE! Yay!

Seifer: I better damn be in this!

aznchika: *pinches Seifer's cheek* of course you are, sweetie!

Seifer: *draws our Hyperion* don't ever do that again!

Chichiri: *runs in front of aznchika to protect her* Hey, hey! No hitting girls, no da!

aznchika: *hugs Chichiri tightly* you care! *smiles happily*

Seifer: Since when do you get so protective of her?

Chichiri: Since I need her to beat Elvoret for me, no da.

Hotohori: You're only there?! When's it my turn?!

aznchika: And I thought you cared! *runs away crying*

Seifer, Hoti, & Chichiri: Girls... *shakes heads in disproval*

Rinoa: "Quistis? Are you okay? Selphie told me what happened."

(Rinoa calls to Quistis through the door as she unlocks it)

Quistis: "I'm, I'm... okay... I guess."

Rinoa: "You're crying!" She exclaims as she sees Quistis huddled in a corner.

(Quistis runs up to Rinoa and hugs her tightly)

Rinoa: "There, there. I'm sure you'll find a better man." She pats Quistis on the back like a loving mother.

Quistis: "It's not that! I forgot to ask about me car!" More tears slide down her cheek. "It was almost half a million gil! Where will I see that kind of money again?!"

(Rinoa pushes Quistis away roughly and stares at her in disbelief)

Rinoa: "What car?! And what half a million gil?!"

Quistis: "Jake told me to sign this sheet of paper. I signed it, and it was paying for a new car and insurance for it!"

Rinoa: "!!! You know what I could of done with HALF A MILLION GIL?!" She stares at Quistis angrily. "I wouldn't have to be stuck here trying to mooch money off guys!"

Quistis: "I know!" Quistis begins to sob uncontrollably.

Rinoa: "Hey, don't worry, we can get it back!" She reassures Quistis.

Quistis: "How? I could never face him and tell him to give it to me! What if he doesn't? I don't even know how to drive!"

Rinoa: "You'll make him! And if he still won't," the corners of Rinoa's mouth begin to turn upwardly into an evil grin. "there's always ways." Then she begins to laugh menacingly.

Quistis: "I don't' know it it'll work... hey, don't you have a date?" Quistis questions her sister.

Rinoa: "Oh ya! Gotta go! Be okay! I'll be home soon! Bye!"

(Rinoa bolts out the door)

Man with cowboy hat: "Yo Seif, I need some cash!" He shouts as he goes into someone's wallet and takes out couple hundreds.

(A tall blonde man wearing a tight black shirt with a grey trench coat walks out of a room. He sees the other man taking money out of the wallet, so he runs up and snatches the wallet away)

Hot blond guy: "The name is Seifer. And stop taking money from me! Why don't you get a job for hyne's sake!"

Man with cowboy hat: "Hey, I've been looking for one! But they just won't hire me! And I need the cash now! I have a hot date, and she says she's rich! If my charm works on her, then I don't even need a job! I'll just take the money from her!" He snatches the wallet back.

Seifer: "Grow up Irvine. No girl's gonna like you!" He grabs the wallet back and stuffs it into the back pocket of his jeans.

Irvine: "Hey! She seemed pretty interested in me when I first saw her! Now gimme some money!"

Seifer: "Maybe it's because you said you were rich? When you're actually not, 'cause you don't even have a job! And no, it's my money, and you already took some!"

Irvine: "Fine then. Well, just telling you ahead of time. Once I marry this chick, and I get all her money, I'll still give some money to you, 'cause you're my friend."

(Seifer laughs)

Seifer: "Ya sure, I'll just have to wait a million years when that day comes!"

Irvine: "You're gonna regret that man. Anyway, catch ya later. Got a date with her right now.

Seifer: "Ya sure, tell me all about it when you get back!" He says sarcastically.

Irvine: "Nah, I don't wanna tell you all the hot stuff." Irvine walks out of the house and leaves Seifer laughing his head off.

(Rinoa is waiting on the sidewalk as she sees a metallic blue, Mercedes driving near her. She quickly puts on a smile, and brushes her light blue dress. The car stops right in front of her. Irvine steps out and walks towards her)

Irvine: "You're looking gorgeous today." He smiles at her and opens the door for her. She gets it.

Rinoa: "Why thank you." She smiles sweetly at him. [Ha, he thinks sweet-talking to me will turn me on. Well he's in for a surprise!] (A/N - in case you forgot, thoughts are written in [])

Irvine: "Well where to?" He climbs back into the drivers seat and buckles the seat belt. [You better not be thinking of going shopping...]

Rinoa: "Actually, I was thinking, maybe you'd go shopping with me?" [Now this is really gonna prove if you're a rich boy like you say you are]

Irvine: "I thought you might like that." [... damn her. Now I'm gonna be broke!]

(Irvine starts the engine, and notices that Rinoa doesn't have her seat belt on. He leans over to her, but she pushes him aside and buckles the seatbelt)

Rinoa: "Oh! I almost forgot to wear the seat belt!" [What a perv. Already trying to make a move]

Irvine: "Ya, I was just about to tell you." [I was this close! So close! Dammit]

(Irvine steps on the gas and the drive down the street. After a short ride in silence for about 10 minutes, they reach the shopping district. Irvine parks at a meter. He gets out and opens the door for Rinoa like a gentleman)

Rinoa: "Oh, why thank you." She says sweetly and smiles at him. [Don't think that just because you open the door for me like a gentleman means that I'm gonna let you take advantage of me]

Irvine: "It's my duty to serve a beautiful lady such as yourself!" [You better damn enjoy this. I never do this to anyone, well, maybe except gorgeous ladies, or rich ladies]

(The two of them walk down the sidewalk, side by side, but not touching one another)

Irvine: "So where do you want to go first?" [Not the jewellery store. You better not go there]

Rinoa: "I was thinking of getting a bracelet." [Ha! In your face! Let's see if you are rich]

Irvine: "Anything for you." [Damn her. Well, might as well try holding her hand...]

(Irvine slowly tries to grab her hand, but she quickly moves and points at a fountain)

Rinoa: "Oh isn't that pretty! Look at it! Oh I just love fountains!" [Trying to hold my hand eh? Well, it's not gonna be that easy.

Irvine: "It's nothing compared to your beauty." [Dammit, I almost got her hand!]

Rinoa: "Awww, that's so sweet of you!" She smiles at Irvine. [Sweet talker, too bad you didn't get my hand] Rinoa laughs silently in her head.

(Suddenly, Irvine grabs her hand and pulls her closer to him)

Irvine: "You almost stepped on doggy doodle." [Finally, got her hand]

Rinoa: "Oh thank you." [Sneaky little bastard! Oh well, I'll let you hold my hand for a few more seconds]

Irvine: "So, what school did you graduate from?"

Rinoa: "Oh, I graduated from Balamb Garden. You know, that really expensive place? You?" [Let's see if you know those rich places]

Irvine: "Oh? I graduated from..." Irvine trails off.

Rinoa: "Where? Sorry, I didn't hear what you said." [So, you aren't a rich boy. Then why am I wasting my time with you?]

Irvine: "Galbadia Garden. You know, that really expensive place?" [Phew, that was a close one. Good call Irvy] He silently congratulates himself.

Rinoa: "Oh, that's cool." [Maybe I was wrong... but he still has my hand. It's been too long, time to make him let go] "Oh look!"

(Rinoa quickly pulls her hand away and points at a jewellery store. She quickly runs over to it and presses her face into the glass)

Irvine: "Let's go take a look inside." [I was hoping she forgot about it...]

(The two of them walk inside and Rinoa heads for the really expensive side. She then stares at the shining bracelets}

Rinoa: "Miss, may I see that one?" She points to a beautiful diamond studded bracelet. [He had better buy me one of these bracelets, if he doesn't, oh, I am SO dumping him!]

(Rinoa places the bracelet on her wrist and watches as the diamonds sparkle in the light. Then she waves it in Irvine's face)

Rinoa: "How do you think about this one?"

Irvine: [64 000 gil?! Are you mad, woman?!] "This style is outdated! I think you should try another."

Rinoa: [64 000 gil, and you can't afford it for me! What a cheapskate!] "Ya, you're right. How about this one?"

(Rinoa asks the lady to get another diamond bracelet, she puts it on and waves it in Irvine's face once again)

Rinoa: "How's this?" [Okay, 32 000 gil. You should be able to afford THIS one]

Irvine: "This is okay, but I don't think it really matches your skin tone." [32 000 gil!!! You're crazy!! There's no way I'm buying this for you!]

Rinoa: "Ya, you're right." [Oh hyne. How much CAN you afford? NOTHING?!]

(Rinoa places the bracelet down and asks the lady to hand her yet another one. Only this one has less diamonds and is worth a lot less)

Rinoa: "How's this?" [Okay, 1000 gil is the lowest I'm going. If you can't even afford this, then screw you!]

Irvine: "I think this one is perfect for you." [1000 gil! Don't you dare think that I'm gonna buy this for you!]

Rinoa: "Okay!" Rinoa faces the lady helping her. "I'll take this one."

Lady: "Alright. I'll go wrap this up for you."

Rinoa: "Excuse me, I have to go to the washroom." She says to Irvine and gets up. [You had better pay for it]

Irvine: "Okay, I'll wait for you here." [You sneaky little bastard! Fukk, now I have to pay for it. You're SOOO gonna pay me back]

(Rinoa walks into the girl's washroom. Shortly after she walks out and is greeted by Irvine who hands her a little box)

Rinoa: "Oh! I was going to pay for that!" She opens her purse to get money out, but Irvine stops her.

Irvine: "No, no! It's a present for you." [You better reward me later for this]

Rinoa: "Why thank you!" [Ha! See what little schemes I have to go through just for a measly 1000 gil bracelet?!]

(The two step out of the store and heads to Irvine's car. He opens the door for her and she gets in. Then he closes the door and climbs into the driver's seat)

Irvine: "Well, do you want to go for dinner?" [You better pay for it]

Rinoa: "Oh, I don't think so. I have a headache now." She places her hand on her forehead and pretends to look ill. [You wish buddy! There's no way I'm gonna pay for dinner] "Could you drive me home?"

Irvine: [NO!!! I just wasted a 1000 gil on you, and now you want me to drive you home?!] "Sure. Are you going to be okay?" He tries to place his jacket on Rinoa, put she grabs it out of his hand and places it on by herself.

Rinoa: "I just need a little nap, that's all." [Trying to touch me now eh? Tough luck, gotta try again later]

(Irvine turns on the engine and drives down the street, heading to her 'house' (A/N - remember that Irvine thinks Rinoa's rich, so she pretends to live in a rich house) Rinoa pretends to sleep, but actually has one eye open to make sure Irvine doesn't do anything to her. After a short while, Irvine parks by the sidewalk, exactly where he picked Rinoa up. She immediately notices this and pretends to get up)

Rinoa: "Oh! This is my house." She hands the jacket back to Irvine and gets out of the car.

Irvine: "Let me walk you to the door, you might stumble." [I'm not gonna let you go that easily]

Rinoa: "Oh, I don't have a headache anymore!" [Don't think so!]

Irvine: "Then do you want to go get something to eat?" [I'm not going to let you get away from me!!!]

Rinoa: "I'm not hungry."

Irvine: "You want to get a drink?" [Come on, I have to get something for that 1000 gil I spent on you!]

Rinoa: "Not thirsty." [Still not giving up?]

Irvine: "Want to look at the stars then?" [Come on! I'm getting desperate here!]

Rinoa: "I'm a little sleepy." [Fine then. I'll give you a little treat]

(Irvine walks right beside her as he's trying to get her to go somewhere with him. But before he could reply to Rinoa, she leans over and gives him a small, short, sweet, little peck on the cheek. Irvine stops talking and just stares blankly as Rinoa begins walking away again)

Rinoa: "Good night!" She smiles menacingly when she turns around so she can't face him.

Irvine: [1000 gil for a little kiss on the cheek?! Argh! I should of grabbed her or something!!!]

(Irvine walks to the car and drives home, angry at himself, and at Rinoa)

* * *

(Irvine walks into the house opening the door really roughly and slumps on the couch. Seifer is sitting on another couch, watching TV)

Seifer: "So how'd it go, Romeo?" Seifer asks as he munches on some Doritos.

Irvine: "All I got was a pathetic kiss on the cheek for a thousand gil!"

Seifer: He chuckles slightly. "Ya, and over half of it was my money."

Irvine: "Excuse me?" He sits up.

Seifer: "I recall you taking 600 from my wallet before you left. So now, you owe me 600 gil." He continues munching on Doritos.

Irvine: "Hey, we're friends aren't we?" Irvine chuckles nervously.

Seifer: "Okay, have it your way. You can take your stuff and leave."

Irvine: "WHAT?!" He jumps from his seat and looks at Seifer angrily.

Seifer: "You never pay me back, and you never pay for rent! I'm not responsible for you! So there's no way I'm gonna keep giving you money and pay for rent all the time. You eat like a pig too! You should see the food bills!" He turns off the TV and stares at Irvine, almost laughing at him.

Irvine: "Seif... come on, we're buddies!"

Seifer: "It's Seifer. And if you're gonna continue acting like this, then no. Why don't you find yourself a job?!"

Irvine: "I'm looking, I'm looking."

Seifer: "There's going to be an empty position at my work soon. You should try and see if you can get the job."

Irvine: "Maybe..."

* * *

(Quistis is sitting on her bed with a pad of paper and a pen in her hand. She stares at the paper, and is interrupted when the door opens. Rinoa walks into her room)

Quistis: "Home so soon?"

Rinoa: "There's no way I'm letting a guy touch me. You know me!"

(Quistis laughs)

Rinoa: "Notice anything new?" She waves her wrist in front of Quistis. Quistis suddenly grabs her wrist and stares at her in awe.

Quistis: "Rinoa! How could you buy this?"

Rinoa: "I didn't. Irvine did."

Quistis: "Oh." She releases Rinoa's wrist and goes back staring at the pad of paper.

Rinoa: "Whatcha doing?"

Quistis: "Writing down ways on how to get my car back, and how to teach Jake a lesson."

Rinoa: "Ooooh! Can I see?"

Quistis: "Sure." She hands Rinoa the pad of paper. Rinoa looks at it in disbelief and begins flipping pages.

Rinoa: "Quistis... this is unbelievable!"

Quistis: "I know."

Rinoa: "YOU HAVE NOTHING WRITTEN DOWN!!!"

Quistis: "I know."

Rinoa: "I take it that you don't have a plan."

Quistis: "No." She looks down in shame.

aznchika: "Hi, hi! Well here's chapter two! And I'm sorry there's no Seifer/Quistis interaction yet. Don't worry! I promise there will be some next chapter! I promise, I promise!!! Oh, and I should have mentioned this before... this is my FIRST attempt to a humour fic!"

Seifer: "That's what you always say!"

aznchika: "Don't talk to me! You and Chichiri and Hotohori hurt my feelings before! DON'T TALK TO ME!!! *runs off to Amiboshi and hugs him tightly*

Amiboshi: "Stop...h...uggin...me!!! You're... killing... me!!!" *begins to turn blue*

aznchika: "How come none of my bishes like me?!" *let's go of Amiboshi and beings to cry*

Amiboshi, Hotohori, Chichiri, and Seifer: "You're point?"

aznchika: *begins to cry even more* "Why?!" *sniffles*

Amiboshi: *whispering to the other guys, minus Seifer, since he's not aznchika's bishounen* "I think we should do something. I feel pretty bad."

Hotohori: "Maybe you're right. She DOES let us play her FF8..."

Chichiri: "And she did help me beat Elvoret after I made her cry..."

Amiboshi: "How do you cheer a girl up anyway?"

Seifer: "Just give her a hug. That should do the job"

Hotohori: "I guess..."

(Hotohori, Amiboshi, and Chichiri all run up to aznchika and gives her one big, big, big hug! Which makes her turn all blue, because she can't breathe. Then, she passes out, and the guys realizes what they did)

Amiboshi: "Uh-oh. What do we do now?"

Chichiri: "Run away, no da!"

(The three of the run away and leave a passed out aznchika and a confused Seifer behind)

Seifer: "What the fukk?" *Seifer then notices the passed out aznchika and also runs away*
