Disclaimer: I...Do...Not...Own...Anything! (except my computer and my brain...I think)
I wrote this chapter for a friend who wanted the FF8 people to play strip triple triad. I don't even know if it's possible (I never learned how to play the game, Zell's mom kept kicking my ass every time...I just don't get it!) Oh well, on to the story...
Squall, truth or dare? asked Zell as he sat on Selphie's floor with his legs cross.
I hate this game, he mumbled as he rolled his eyes.
I agree with Squall. This game is kind of lame, whined Selphie.
Well, what do you guys suggest we do? asked Rinoa as she brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.
We can play triple triad, Quistis pitched in.
sang Selphie.
How bout strip triple triad? Irvine asked as he threw a cheeky grin towards Selphie. Selphie blushed deeply and giggled.
I don't think that's a good ide- Quistis began but was cut off by Rinoa.
Oh come on, Quistis. You're great at this game. You'll beat the pants off of us in no time. Squall shot Rinoa an angry/confused look. He wondered if she really wanted to play.
Irvine chipped in, all those who ain't gonna play should leave because it ain't fair for ya'll to steal a peek if you're not willing to take the risk of losing.
Both Squall and Zell stood up to leave, but Squall noticed that Rinoa was not standing. Damn it!' he thought, there is no way I'm leaving a naked Rinoa in the same room as Irvine. Squall asked her, you coming?
No, I think I want to try, Rinoa replied shyly.
Squall rolled his eyes and sat back down with a dissatisfied look on his face, Damn it, I don't want her to play.'
Um, so, how are we going to do this? asked Rinoa, turning towards Irvine. Zell, noticing everyone was staying, and sat back down.
Irvine smiled, We will have two teams of three...boys versus girls...who will compete against each other. We will draw numbers or something to determine who will play against who.
Ok, I'm already confused, Rinoa remarked.
Irvine continued to explain, We won't all play at once. Only one person from each team will play per game. When one of the sides loses, only the person who loses will have to remove an article of clothing. First team to be completely nude, loses.
Irvy, how many times have you played this game? Selphie asked.
This is my first time, Sefie, Irvine said with a mischievous grin.
Selphie rolled her eyes and lightly punched Irvine in the arm.
You sound like Squall, Rinoa giggled. She tossed a glance towards Squall and noticed how displeased he looked. Rinoa felt guilty for staying, but she hated passing up group moments. The others grew up together; Rinoa was the outsider. Sometimes Rinoa felt left out, especially when they talked about their childhood at the orphanage. She eagerly jumped at chances to be part of the group.
How are we going to decide who plays against who? Quistis asked as she stretched.
After we draw numbers, the two people with the same number will play against each other, Irvine explained to the group. Selphie took a piece of paper and tore it into six fairly even pieces; then she numbered them (2 pieces with #1, 2 with #2, and 2 with #3).
Please let me get the same number as Rinoa,' Squall thought as he waited his turn to draw a number, that way I can let her win...but that means I'm going to be...Damn It! This is going to be bad no matter what.'
Um, I drew a two. Which one of you guys drew the other, Rinoa asked.
Squall unfolded his piece of paper, Damn, a three.'
Aw, bummer! I drew a one, same as Zell, complained Selphie, I was hoping I would play against Irvine.
Irvine winked at Selphie and grinned. Selphie threw her pillow at him, Hmf...What did I say? Irvine asked innocently.
What did you get, Squall? Rinoa asked hoping he too had a two in his hands. Squall held up the piece of paper, revealing a three.
I guess that means I'm with Squall, Quistis chipped in, looking a little too happy for Rinoa's liking.
So that means I'm with-, Rinoa started but was cut off by Irvine holding up his number for the group to see.
That's right, Sugar. Guess that means we're the duo, Irvine winked at Rinoa while Squall's fist tightened.
Selphie demanded, take it easy on Rinoa, she's bad at this game.
Hey! I've gotten better since Zell showed me how to play, Rinoa said.
Yeah, but Zell sucks too! Selphie laughed.
Watch it, shrimp, growled Zell.
Ooh. That's real good coming from a guy who isn't much taller than me, Selphie giggled while Zell started flipping out...again.
Are we going to play or not? asked Quistis impatiently.
We'll start, Irvine said as he grabbed Rinoa's arm and pulled her towards the grid. Uh, the rules will be open. Irvine quickly won the game, Gotta take something off.
Rinoa took off her bunny slippers. Irvine looked disappointed, Slippers are boring. Ya should take something else off-, Irvine was cut off by the icy glare coming from Squall. Or slippers will be just fine...Selphie, how bout you and Zell go next.
Selphie replied. Zell lost within a matter of seconds.
Dammit! Please don't take my bomb card, Zell pleaded.
Zell, you're such a moron. We're playing for clothes, not cards, Selphie giggled.
Oh yeah, Zell sat up straight and looked boastful, Guess that means you ladies get to see my awesome chest. Zell's grin grew big as he grabbed the back of his shirt to pull it off. All three girls busted up laughing. Zell asked looking confused, I'll have ya know that I'm quite the stud. The two other guys joined in the girls' laughter.
Of course you are, Zell, Rinoa said between giggles as she leaned over and gave him a quick side hug.
Selphie and Irvine were still laughing as Quistis and Squall played. Quistis won and sat back with a grin. You have to take something off. Squall mumbled something under his breath and removed his jacket.
Rinoa was nervous because if she lost again, she would have to remove either her pj top or bottoms and she didn't want to be the first in her underwear. Oops, sorry Rinoa. I guess triple triad just isn't you game. As much as I like those pretty lil stars on ya...I think they're going to look better on the floor, Irvine said as he dodged the kick from Rinoa but didn't escape Selphie's elbow in his side.
Um, should I take my top off first or my pants? Rinoa asked uncomfortably.
Squall muttered quietly.
What was that, Squall? Selphie asked playfully.
It doesn't matter, Rinoa. You'll end up losing it all soon enough, laughed Zell hysterically.
This coming from a the guy who sucks just as much as me, whined Rinoa.
Enough. Strip, demanded Quistis.
Now I know why she's the one with the whip, whispered Irvine to Selphie, who had to fight to hold back her laughter.
Why did I want to play this stupid game anyway? Rinoa complained as she unbuttoned her top. She slid the blue material over her shoulders, revealing a black bra. Squall's mouth dropped open slightly and he tried to keep from blushing. Irvine nudged Squall in the side and winked.
Ooh. Someone is a slut, teased Selphie.
Am not! It's just as simple bra. All my others are in the wash. Rinoa blushed deeply.
Aw, poor Rinoa, Selphie comforted as she patted her on the back, you look like you feel uncomfortable.
Rinoa noticed everyone's attention was focused on the black material she was wearing. She quickly folded her arms over her chest and giggled nervously, I feel naked.
Zell, it's our turn. Zell lost, again. Zell unbuttoned his shorts and started pulling them off, revealing Superman boxers.
shrieked Quistis, You still have your socks on. You can take those off instead of your pants!
I don't want my toes to get cold, replied Zell as if it had been an obvious answer.
Oh my gosh! Those are the cutest things I've ever seen, Rinoa exclaimed excitedly as she pointed to Zell's boxers.
Zell stood up and placed his hands on his hips, I'm Superman! he said jokingly.
Zell, those are the best boxers. They are so...you! Rinoa squealed.
Rinoa? Just to let you know, Irvine started laughing as he talked, from this angle, it looks like you're checking out Zell's...you know.
Ahhh! No! You know that I wasn't, Rinoa hid her face in her pillow as the room exploded with laughter.
Rinoa can't help it, Selphie sat up straight mocking Zell, Zell happens to be quite the stud. Irvine rolled on the ground with tears of laughter in his eyes.
Now I feel naked. Zell replied as he placed his arms over his boxers. Rinoa continued to hide her face in the pillow. Quistis and Squall started their second round.
Rinoa removed her face from the pillow in time to see Quistis remove her gray shirt, revealing a white lacy bra. Rinoa felt sick as she thought, Ugh, her chest is way bigger than mine. Why didn't I leave when Squall wanted to?' Rinoa's thoughts were eased as she noticed Squall wasn't paying any attention to Quistis.
Let's see if the panties match the bra, Irvine winked, indicating that it was his and Rinoa's turn.
How the hell did I lose again?! Rinoa was getting very angry. She couldn't figure out where Irvine had gotten such strong cards when he usually only had weak cards.
Irvine chuckled, Don't lose your temper, just lose your pants.
Irvine? What's that in your inner coat pocket? Selphie was pointing to the mysterious bulge. Rinoa pushed Irvine down and reached into his coat pocket.
Rinoa! At least wait till Selphie and Squall leave before you jump me, Irvine shrieked as he tried to stop Rinoa from retrieving the items from his pocket.
You've been cheating, haven't you! accused Rinoa. Her fingers grasped the items and she quickly pulled them out and leapt to her feet, These are Squall's extra cards! Squall grabbed his jacket to search his pockets. His cards had indeed been taken from his pocket.
Kinneas, you have two seconds to explain, Squall replied bitterly. It had been enough Rinoa had lost to Irvine, but Squall was extra pissed because Irvine cheated in order to get her undressed.
Hey, look. I'm really sorry for takin' your cards...I just didn't want to lose, said Irvine backing up into a corner.
Not good enough, yelled Rinoa as she threw her slippers at him. Irvine ducked and the bunnies crashed into the wall.
exclaimed Zell jumping to his feet, If Irvine cheated, then maybe Selphie did too!
Selphie stared at the man with Superman boxers and giggled, Sorry Zell, you just suck. Selphie showed the inside of her pj pockets.
remarked Zell quietly as he sat back down. Everyone else in the room laughed with an exception of Squall who frowned.
Rinoa put her top back on and quickly buttoned it up. Irvine, give me back my slippers.
Promise not to throw them at me again? asked Irvine as he bent down and picked up the battered bunnies.
No, but give them back anyway, Rinoa reached out her hand. Irvine tossed the slippers back and Rinoa slipped them on her feet.
I take it this means you're not playing anymore, replied Quistis as she noticed Rinoa dressed.
replied Rinoa, Irvine cheats. I'm not going to play against him. In fact...Selphie, I'm pretty tired. I think I'm going to go back to my dorm and crash.
Quistis stood up and stretched before reaching for her top, Me too, Selphie. I'm getting tired.
Selphie looked hurt, I thought you guys were going to spend the night?
We stayed for the good part of the sleep over, Rinoa said trying to comfort the girl.
Yeah, look at it this way, Selphie, Quistis chipped in, at least you know you won't drown in Rinoa's drool. Selphie giggled and Rinoa shot both girls an annoyed look.
Rinoa drools? Gross! exclaimed Zell.
You're not much better, Mr. Dincht, Quistis stood up gathering all her belongings, I've seen you drool while sleeping in my class. Quistis said good night and left Selphie's room, leaving Superman' in protest.
