Quistis woke up very slowly the next morning. Very, very slowly.

For starters, she had a killer headache.

She groaned slightly, moving closer to a large heat source next to her. She cuddled up to it, trying to convince her poor head that pain was not necessary to tell her not to drink that much ever again. Ever. The large heat source wrapped its arms around her, bringing her closer to it. Her tired mind frowned as she snuggled up to it. Her mind desperately tried to connect Point A to Point B, trying to tell Quistis something important. But she was too tired, her head ached too much, and whatever it was she was cuddling with smelled really, really good.

That's when her mind made a very interesting connection.

Her eyes flew open. She was in the hotel room, that much she could tell. And she was fully clothed, that was good. But there was a large, sleeping body in front of her. A large, male body. Who had his arms wrapped around her as if he was afraid she would disappear if he let go. A large, male, built body. A large, male, built, BLONDE body.

*Oh... Hyne...* Quistis said as realization dawned on her.

She was getting all snuggly with Seifer. SEIFER.

*HOW DRUNK DID I GET???* She asked, trying desperately to untangle herself from him. But his arms just wrapped more firmly around her, Seifer's head burying itself in her hair. Quistis squeaked, trying to wiggle out of his strong hold. But Seifer just chuckled lightly, drawing her even closer, until she was smooshed against his chest.

His nice, firm chest. That was all rippley. Quistis tried hard to remember what all happened the previous night, as Seifer continued to chuckle softly.

"Seifer." Quistis growled, poking his stomach.

"Whassat?" He mumbled into her hair.

"Seifer." Quistis said, a little more firmly this time, her head continuing to pound.

Seifer groaned, finally opening his eyes. All he saw was blonde. His aching mind trying to puzzle THAT one out, as a tiny finger poked his stomach again. Seifer giggled slightly. He was ticklish, and whomever the finger belonged to had just found his most tickly spot.

That was when his mind put two and two together, and got five.

"Quistis?" he mumbled, finally lifting up his head. Fiery blue eyes met his, as she frowned severely up at him. Seifer realized just how closely he was holding her, and mumbled an apology, removing his arms reluctantly. Quistis slowly got out of bed; her head feeling like a midget was digging out her left eyeball with a spoon. She dizzily turned around to face Seifer, who had groaned and thrown a hand over his eyes.

"Seifer. What exactly happened last night?" Quistis asked, massaging her temples. He blinked.

"You mean you don't remember?"

Quistis shook her head. "I remember Karaoke... And drinking a lot... But after that it's a big blank."

Seifer frowned, looking very disappointed.

"Why? What happened? How did we end up in the same bed?" She asked, rummaging around for a Remedy. Seifer sighed.

"Well..." He began, thinking. "We got majorly snogged, came up here, shagged like bunnies and fell asleep."

Quistis rolled her eyes, tossing him a Remedy, which he quickly gulped down. It didn't make the entire hangover go away, but it made the headache fade to a dull pounding.

"In your dreams, little boy." Quistis said, drinking a Remedy herself.

Seifer grinned wickedly. "Actually-"

"Don't want to hear it!" Quistis interrupted. "Seifer, what really happened?"

Seifer sighed. "You're no fun... We did get majorly snogged... But we came up here, and you passed out, so I set you down on my bed and just accidentally fell asleep next to you." He said, carefully. He didn't think that she could handle what really happened. He, more importantly, didn't want her to ruin the memory of the kiss by freaking out.

Quistis processed the information, then nodded her head. "I'm going to go shower." She said, walking off towards the bathroom.

"Save some hot water for me." Seifer called after her. Quistis stuck her tongue out at him and closed the door. Seifer grinned and flopped down on his bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What do you mean, the ship's already sailed??" Quistis demanded at the harbor.

"I MEAN, lady, that they left. Gone. Bye bye." The man replied, annoyed. "Early this morning. 'Heard they were headed to Balamb to take care of some business."

Seifer and Quistis groaned together.

"No way in HELL am I going back there!" Seifer told Quistis matter of factly.

"DITTO! They all think I'm married to YOU!" Quistis retorted, headache quickly returning. They had both hurried out to the harbor when they realized it was well past 2 o clock, only to find that the white SeeD ship had sailed.

"Like that's an appealing thought to me!"

"You're the one who told them!"

"I was being sarcastic! How was I supposed to know that little messenger girl would hear?"

"THE BUSH WAS WIGGLING! SELPHIE COULDN'T SNEAK UP ON A DEAD SNAKE!"

"WELL I WAS A LITTLE BUSY TRYING TO FEND YOU OFF! AND AS I RECALL YOU CHASED ME UP IN A TREE AFTERWARDS!"

"AND I WISH YOU HAD STAYED THERE!"

"I HATE YOU!"

"I HATE YOU MORE!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

"DO NOT!"

"DO TOO!"

"FINE!"

"FINE!"

Seifer and Quistis were fuming as they stomped off to the hotel. People were staring, and some whispered how the funniest people got married...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Why the hell didn't these people just take a train?

"DAMMIT QUISTIS! IT WAS AN ACCADENT!"

"YOU GROPED ME! AGAIN!"

"LIKE HELL I WOULD GROPE YOU OF ALL PEOPLE! I WAS MAKING HAND GUESTURES AND YOU STUCK YOUR CHEST IN THE WAY OF MY HAND!"

"YOU ARE SUCH A DISGUSTING ASS!"

"YEEOUCH! DAMMIT WOMAN, WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND COFFEE??"

"OH, I'M SORRY! I WAS DUMPING IT OUT AND YOUR BODY JUST GOT IN MY WAY!"

The ship captain chugged the bottle of tequila. He was just a week from retirement. A week too long. There were perfectly good trains for people to take-

"EEEEK! SEIFER! I'M WEARING A WHITE FREAKIN' TEE SHIRT! GET AWAY FROM ME WITH THAT HOSE!"

"WET TEE SHIRT CONTEST!"

But no. No no no no no. He got stuck with these two.

Again.

The sound of a hose spraying something vigorously and a woman screeching reached his ears, and the captain finished off the bottle of liquor.

"NICE RACK, QUISTIS! SAY, IS IT A TIT BIT NIPPLEY AROUND HERE OR IS IT JUST YOU?"

"SEIFER, DAMMIT, I'M GOING TO KILL YOU!"

"HA! I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY! Hey... Put that ax down Quistis. Quistis? I was only Kidding? Ha ha ha? Ha? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

"STOP RUNNING, PANSY BOY, AND GET WHAT'S COMING TO YOU!"

The captain watched as a blonde streak went past, followed closely by a blonde woman swinging an ax.

He just wasn't drunk enough to deal with them.

"AAAAAAAAHH! SOMEBODY HELP ME!"

"ANYBODY TOUCH HIM AND YOU'RE MY NEXT TARGET!"

There simply wasn't enough liquor in the world.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Pregnant?" Edea and Cid asked simultaneously.

Squall nodded his head. "I'm surprised you two hadn't heard. Quistis said that she was bringing Seifer to you, matron, so he could apologize."

Edea raised an eyebrow. Cid sighed.

"And they're getting married?"

"Reports have sighted the pair in a hotel in FH, sharing a room."

Cid looked like he was going into shock, while Edea chuckled. "We were just in FH when we got your message. We probably just missed them."

Squall nodded his head. "Just be careful. Seifer is not to be trusted under any-"

"Oh Squall. You're so tense." Edea chided softly. "I always knew they'd end up together. Just not so... soon." She mused. Cid sighed again.

"I guess we'll remain in Balamb until they show up for whatever reason." Cid stated with another sigh.

"Tell me Squall, how are you and Rinoa?" Edea asked with a smile. Squall blushed.

"We're just fine. Selphie is going nuts trying to plan a baby shower and a wedding, and now she's hell-bent on throwing one for Quistis." Edea's smile grew.

"You know, I'll bet Rinoa and Quistis will have their children fairly close together." Edea said, a dreamy look in her eyes. Squall groaned. Edea looked at him curiously.

"I just realized that Irvine is probably going to organize a baby pool to see whose kid come out first."

Edea and Cid laughed, while Squall continued to shake his head.

He just hoped Rinoa winned.

Really short, probably my shortest chapter. But I really wanted to work on a songfic idea I just got, so i ended the chapter a little early. I promise, the next chapter will be a little longer. And will have some sappy childhood memories. And very possibly a non-drunken kiss.

*flashes peace sign* Keep a look out for that songfic. It should be out later today.
