Yes, I am officially back in Author Mode.  Scheduling for next year formerly took up most of my time alongside stupid end-of-year homework.  Don't you just hate teachers that try to get a month's work of work done in a week?  I do.  At least I get out of class tomorrow to go see a movie with my English Class.  It's Star Wars and I have absolutely no clue what that has to do with that class, but oh well.  I should write a complaint to the school board about that teacher.  He talks to a Yoda doll…

Oh, and in response to Mistress Moonflower, thank you for the advice, but I'd rather not take it just yet.  Give me a couple of sentences.  This is to Th'Lady Shadow.  Now, in the very front of the very first chapter, I remember stating that I made this fic for pointlessness.  That is my POINT in doing it.  Now, whatever your name is, you are not the only freaking person in this world, and some people like pointlessness.  If you don't like it, get the hell over it and don't read it.  Point made.  Taking advice now.

Everyone turned to stare at Vincent.

Sephiroth: *as he and Heero appear out of no where [A/N: How do they DO that?]* Since when do you play poker?

Wakka: Hic…ya.

Vincent: …*pulls a deck of cards out of that little thing in front of his mouth*  Since the Gold Saucer needed a new dealer for Five-Card-Draw about six months ago.

Me and Jessi: Ooookkkaaayyy….

Me: Moving on.  I'm in, so deal.

Jessi: Me too.

Reno, Rude, Sephiroth, Heero, and Wakka join the circle.

Vincent: Auron, are you in?

Auron: Why not?

Vincent: *deals for himself and the other eight of us* Of course, it's five card draw.  Suicide King is wild.

Me: *observing my hand after throwing two* I suggest that you all fold.

Everyone but Vincent, Auron, and Jessi folds.

Vincent: Unzip from the left of the dealer.  Auron, then Jessi, then you. *points at me*

Auron has two pair, Jessi has three of a kind and Vincent shows us a full house.

Me: Shit, I was really hoping you'd fold. *shows everyone an ace-high*

Reno: It was a bluff!?!  Dammit, I had four of a kind!

Jessi: Then why'd you fold?  Four of a kind beats almost everything.

Reno: *looks puzzled* I do not know.

Heero: …*pulls out a Colt 45* I will not be the puppet of manipulation. *points gun at his own head*

Relena: *standing in blown up window three stories above us* Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooo!

Heero: *misses and shoots his leg after looking up at Relena* Damn.

Me: Where's the cure materia when you need it?

Yuffie: *appears* You can use this materia that I stole from Reno. *hands Jessi materia*

Reno: What! You little pest! *both engage in a battle about three yards away*

Me: *the rest of us are suddenly drinking tea in British style clothing while Yuffie is calling Bahamut ZERO* I say the weather lately has been absolutely smashing.

Jessi: Yes, I agree. *shakes herself and throws off British dress to reveal her jeans and t-shirt* What the hell are we doing?

Me: *looking down at my own dress, then around the circle, stopping on Auron in a pinstripe suit* I have no freakin idea. *quickly tear off my own dress*

Auron: *pulls off suit only to realize he's just in his boxers*

Everyone else: …

Tidus: Auron, I didn't know you loved little pink bunnies so much…

Ha, ha!  Auron has bunny boxers!!  Ooh!  I wanna see!  Sorry that I didn't get much Tidus in there, Yolei, but Jessi gets a hold of him next chap!  No offense to any British people.  I think they're cool.

Bye!
