Discalimer I don't own FF8 and I'm not making money off this.
**************************************************************************** ** ~~~Next morning~~~
Josh walked into the Caf. at 07:30 looking horrible. His hair was messed up, both cheecks were swolen, and his eyes were blood-shot. "You look beat, Josh." Quistis said, patting the seat next to her. "Breakfast isn't served untill 08:00, but if you want coffee, nows the time to get it." Josh pulled himself to his feet and looked around for the coffe table. "Over there." Quistis pointed Josh half-grunted his thanks then walked over to where she had pointed. He got a large(32 oz.) cup of Mocha-chino coffee. he chugged 3/4 of it in 2 swigs. He sipped the rest down, and by the time he had finished, the rest of the gang had arrived.
"What happened to you?" Squall asked as he walked up.
"Everyone asks me that.....where should I begin?"
"At the beginning!!!" Lisa exclaimed.
"Okay. I got into bed at about 10:45 last night. I was nearly asleep, when I found out that there was a very noisy cricket in my closet. I eventually found it and chucked it out the window."
Everyone seemed to be following the story so far. "Then, Selphie decides to take a shower."
"What? That was at 11:55, I thought you would be asleep."
"Nope...For the next hour, I got to listen to you sing some noisy song about trains...and badly off key at that." nearly every one at the table was laughing. Josh looked around. "If you liked that..you'll love this, I've been sleeping for maybe 10 minutes, when I get woken up by this loud vibrating noise. It took me a minute to realize that it was Selphie..snoring up a storm."
"I don't snore!!!" Selphie protested.
"Really??" Josh procedded to imitate what Selphie had sounded like, by making a gutteral noise that sounded like a lawnmower that wouldn't start. "Any ways, I finally fell asleep around 5:30, and guess who called me to get me to come to the Headmasters office at 6:15?"
Josh pointed to Squall and then said "Come to find out, I'm not due to be here until next week. I shouldn't be here, so Cid gave me the decision of either starting early or taking a weeks vacation until the point i'm supposed to arrive. After my night, guess which one I chose."
"Well, We are glad that your here Josh."
"AFFIRMATIVE. SAVE. SISTER."
"Well, I'm glad to be here to, but if you'll all excuse me, I'm going to go get some sleep." Josh went and slept off the morning. He woke up around 12:30, showered, and went ot lunch looking much better than he had at breakfast.
"Hey Josh." The others were all eating when Josh cam out of the line with a sandwich and some tea. He went, and this time, he sat next to Lisa. As he was eating, the others talked about their day and the classes they had taken.
"Ohh, No!" Lisa scrunched down. "Theres the mean person."
"Huh??" Josh looked up from eating.
"She's afraid of Xu's nephew, Zei." Seifer explained. "Something about a snake on his arm."
"Snakes are mostly harmless, and the ones that do have poison, usually don't use it. It takes them to long to make more."
"Not this one....it doesn't bite, it chokes it's food."
"Constrictor huh?" Josh thought a moment "I never knew why most guys enjoy watching rats get squezed to death. "
"Eewww!!!" Selphie squealed. "That's nasty."
"Well, my lunch is gone...so am I. See-ya later." Josh got up and walked out of the Caf. He headed to the Dorms and got his Gunblade to train. He hoped he wouldn't run into anyone. on his way to teh training center, he decided to ask Cid if the fact that he was on vacation ment he could leave garden. Cid told him it did, as long as he checked out where he was going to first. "Gonna head to Balamb and pick up some items. Then I'm gonna train in the forest."
"You can train here."
"I can get more spells if I train outside the garden."
"That is true......just be careful. Edea will kill me if anything happens to you."
Josh picked up some more potions, and bought a few rounds of Gun ammunition. He figured the later might come in handy in the future.
After an hour of training, he had boosted his spells, but found that only the basics could be found here. Since his GF, which he had named Sander,(it's attack consisted of creating a sandstorm which did very little damage, but reflected all enemy magic attacks and halved physical attacks for both sides for the next 3-5 rounds of battle) was at a very low level, it couldn't strenghten Josh's magic attacks.
"Well, I came to get magic, and I've even gained a level from it. Guess that puts me around level 19." Josh was about to head back, when he heard a voice in his head.
{(There is something coming, Josh.)}
"What is it Sander?"
{(It feels like another GF, one stronger than I am.)}
"No offence Sander, but your only level 9, there's a lot that's stronger than you."
{(It's stronger than you as well, not by much, but it's stronger.)}
"Does 'not by much' mean I can beat it?"
{(I don't know if you could...but I suspect that by yourself, you won't stand much of a chance.)}
"Can I get back to Garden, or should I make for Balamb?"
[(You should stay where you are and fight me weakling human.)]
{(It's HERE!!!!!)}
"I can tell that Sander. This isn't looking good."
