Nida's Journal and/or diary

(part/chapter 7!.....merry band of spies)

10.42 pm. Can't believe it. One minute I was practicing with the squabble boys, the next I'm stranded in the middle of the forest with a ninja suit on. Here's the scoop:

*7.am this morning. Usual breakfast a bit unusual. Good thing Quistis or Xu isn't eating with me; still too depressed and tired and all that.

*10.am. Band practice. As usual, Zell and Seifer are spiting each other; Squall pretended that nothing had happened last night. Ahh, crap. Let him be. I wouldn't want anybody bothering me about it anyway...

Zell: Aw, crap! Whaddya mean, we can't use the damned rehearsal room? We gotte practice, now! The contest's tomorrow!

Guy from other band 1: Duh, don't you think we know that?Besides, we have a signed permission from Instructor Goth!

G.F.O.B. 2: Besides, you didn't reserve it first!

Seifer: Nice going, Zell! You were supposed to do that!

Zell: (getting frustrated) I told you, I can't do that! I was sent to detention, remember? You oughta know that...

Seifer: Well then, who did you ask to reserve the damned rehearsal room?

Zell: well, um.... I asked Squall!

Squall: ........no you didn't.

Zell: (REALLY getting frustrated) Awww..... crap!

Seifer: Great. Chicken-wuss did it again...

G.F.O.B. 1: eherm... In the meantime, you're taking up our space, our patience and our time.... So get the hell out of here!

Zell: Fine.... go on.... we can beat you without practicing anyway...

G.F.O.B. 2: Oh, yeah, so-called Chicken-wuss? Wanna make something of it?

Zell: WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

G.F.O.B. 1: He called you CHICKEN-WUSS, duh?!

Zell: Oh, that's it, you're gonna pay! (supposedly going to fight with the weirdos, but was restrained by me and Squall)

Squall: Wait, Zell, stop! It's not worth it to fight these punks...

G.F.O.B. 2: Whuzza matter, commander? You gay or something?

Seifer: He got you there, eh?

Squall: (snap!) Oh, that's it, you're gonna pay for that remark! (was restrained by Zell and me)

G.F.O.B. 1: And what about you, lapdog? Had enough of the sorceress? Hah! I'm surprised they let a bum like you back here....

Seifer: (grabbing Hyperion out of nowhere) You wanna have a scar too, bird- brain?

Was generally having a riot at the hallways, with me as the peacemaker. Good thing I'm invisible... for the upteenth time... But then, Quistis came, and calmed them down.

Quistis: (grabbing her trusty Save the Queen) Break it up, break it up! Stop acting like a buncha 5 year olds!

Zell: They started it.....

G.F.O.B. 1: Shut your trap, Dincht!

Seifer: Well well well, cranky, are we?

G.F.O.B. 2: You should talk! If you think you're such hot stuff, why don't we make a deal?

Seifer: Oh, yeah? What?

G.F.O.B. 2: You win----- we become your slaves for a month......

Zell: And what if you win?.... which you won't?......

G.F.O.B. 1: (looks at #2 and nods) You sing Cactus Jack in ladies' nighties in front of the whole Garden.....

Zell: WHAT?! NO WAY ARE WE GONNA SING IN LADIES' NIGHTIES FOR YOU AIRHEADS!!!

Seifer: Be quiet, chicken-wuss...... Okay, ya bums. We accept.

Me: (shocked, of course) WHAT?! Do you know what we're getting into?

G.F.O.B. 1: Whuzza matter? You more chicken than Chicken wuss here?

Zell: Hey!

Me: Why I oughta.........

Quistis: Stop it! If you won't, I'll make sure not one of you plays in the contest, y'hear?!

Well, that quieted us, for a while. Squall wasn't able to practice with us. Rinoa and Cid giving him lectures about 'being-a-good-example-to-the- students' and such. Man, is he ready to kill someone.

*3.05 pm. Walking all by myself in Training Center. Managed this time to avoid any pesky grat or T-rexaur that would come my way. Nobody lost in here.... I guess I could go now. Ihate Training Center duty!----what the.... Somebody in the bushes.....

Mysterious guy 1: What do you mean, we go in the middle of the forest at night just to practice?

Mysterious guy 2: We're not gonna practice, moron! We're gonna meet up with some professionals, and we're gonna disguise them to be like us!

Mysterious guy 3: You sure that's gonna work?

Mysterious guy 2: Sure it will!

Mysterious guy 1: But why in the forest?

Mysterious guy 2: We can't take any chances here in the Garden. Most of the people here are in the commander, lapdog and chicken-wuss's good side. (hmph. Forget me, will they? they're gonna pay big time!)

Mysterious guy 3: Hmm... the way you mention those three, sounds like they're after your blood right now!

Mysterious guy 2: Oh, what do you know?! Okay, we should be in the forest at.... 6.00 pm. Got it?

Hah.... more than you'd now, you yahoo! Now, have to tell the others.... D'oh! A Grat!

6.00 pm. In the forest in ninja suits, spying on the yahoos who hadn't arrived yet. Zell and Seifer also in ninja suits. Squall in Garden, with walkie-talkie thingie. (like a buncha real spies, we are! heheheh!)

Zell: Okay, you guys already know the signals?

Me: Yeah, sure!

Seifer: Quiet, you two! Here they come!

Squall: You got the videocam? We're gonna nail them down this time!

G.F.O.B. 1: Where the hell are those professionals you were beefin' about, Jeff?

Jeff (who was #2): Just wait, Kyle! You can't expect them to be here at EXACTLY 6.00!

Kyle: Okay, okay! Bob, you got the make up kit?

Bob: Sure!

Zell: You got it all, Seifer?

Seifer: Yeah, chicken-wuss! I'm not an idiot...

Zell: What? Why I oughta....

Squall: Don't goof up, dammit!

Jeff: Here they come! Hey, Blank! Marcus! Cinna! (a/n: can't think of other names, dammit all!)

Blank: Are you sure this is allowed?

Bob: No, we're actually mmmmppphhh! (gagged by Jeff)

Jeff: shut up, moron! Yes, sure this is allowed! This is.... um..... Incognito Competition, yeah!

Marcus: Why'd you pick the middle of the forest, then?

Kyle: Um..... coz....

Jeff: Er..... um.....

Bob: Eh.....? Oh, yeah! We were planting trees, but since you suggested 6.00.........

Cinna: (doubtfully) Oh..... okay......

*6.30. They finished applying the makeup and disguises on the professionals. We were about to go home, but nooooo........

Seifer: Okay! They're done! Over...

Squall: Good work, guys! Now, go back to Garden in most discreet way!

Zell: Aye-aye, sir!

Me: Hey watch it, Zell! I'm slipping!

Zell: Sorry!

Seifer: Faster, slowpokes! They might catch us!

Me: Guys, I'm losing it... WHOA-WHOOOAAAAAAA! (falls offa tree)

Zell, Seifer and Squall: D'oh!

Jeff: well, well, well, what do we have here?

Bob: Looks like a ninja to me, boss....

Kyle: So what do we do to him?

Blank: Hey, is this our concern?

Jeff: No, you guys go back to Garden. we'll take care of this one.

Me: (giving signal to Seifer and Zell to move it!) What're you bums gonna do to me?

Jeff: Good question..... Boys?

Kyle and Bob: Hehehe.... (showing off a long piece of rope)

*7.00. How humiliating. Tied to a tree by some yahoos.

Jeff: Good luck getting outta here, deadhead!

And they left me in the forest. Duurrrr!

9.30 pm. Still tied to tree. Poor me. Hungry and thirsty. No savior. Probably gonna be kicked outta SeeD. Can't blame the squabble boys; it's curfew. Damn. Hey, wait a minute. A bitebug!

"Bitebug! come here!"

The bitebug turned to my direction and looked at me, confused. (not in battle terms.) Hmph. Relying on a bitebug to save my life and career. How humiliating. But, what're you gonna do.....

"Bite the ropes off, will you?"

The bitebug, instead, bit my nose.

"No, no, dammit! The ropes, the ropes!"

Didn't understand a thing. Damn.

Wait a minute. I hear rustling sounds. Must be a Deathclaw! Oh, no!

"YAAAAAAHHHH!!!" I screamed when I heard it come near me.

"Relax, Nida! It's me!"

Deathclaw turned out to be Xu. I'm saved!

"Xu? What are you doing here? It's past curfew!"

She smiled. "Hey, I'm special. I have permission to go anywhere, except past midnight. Squall, Zell and Seifer told me about your... um.... dilemma." She looked at the Bitebug who is currently bugging me.

"Thanks. Now, will you get me untied, please?"

"Oh, sure....."

We walked back to Garden, and the minute I got there, I only thought about going to sleep and forget all about what had happened. (after thanking Xu, that is.)



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

Finally, that's done! Yes! Took me quite a while, eh? I think..... 2 more chapters and this is done. So tell me what you think of this one! Expect the next chapter to be about the contest! So, would you like them to sing Cactus Jack in ladies' nighties? Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!
