laptop my parents wanted to go somewhere. So it took me a while but I've
got it. Thanx for all of the review! I love them : D !!!!
Chapter 3
Quistis woke up to the sound of her alarm. She grumbled as she turned it off. Another fun filled day of doing nothing. 'Why do I even set the alarm?' She wondered. 'Oh yeah, so I can eat breakfast.' She yawned noisily and willed her body to move. It took a few tries but soon she was out of bed and heading toward the shower. She turned on the taps, got undressed and checked the water. 'Perfect temperature' she yawned as she stepped in. She let the warm water run over her face to wake her up. 'What do I have to do today anyway?' She thought. This is what she usually did in the mornings. She used her shower as an excuse to think before braving the world.well and to wake up.
'Lets see I'm meeting Selphie and Rinoa for breakfast then we're all suppose to go somewhere.' Neither Selphie nor Rinoa would tell her were they were dragging her off to. She really hated it when they did that. How was she suppose to figure out her schedule in the mornings if she didn't know where she was going and for how long she'd be there? 'Oh well' she thought mildly frustrated. 'I'll just have to plan around it. Plus,' She thought as she grabbed a towel. 'The only other thing I'm doing today is packing for the mission.' The mission was tomorrow, but Quistis had been putting off the packing. She realized, a little surprised, that she had never done that before. She always packed with lots of time to spare, just in case she thought of something else she might need. 'Well' she thought as she grinned to herself. 'Everyone's entitled to procrastinate,' she frowned. 'I sound like Seifer.' He was the reason she hadn't packed yet. She kept hoping that for some reason Cid would call her up to his office and tell her that he had found someone else better suited for the job. Of course she had no such luck. She was still going on the mission and she still had to pose as Seifer's girlfriend. She sighed; I'll just have to make the best of it. I can't let my feelings toward my role effect the mission.
She opened her closet and grabbed one of the many peach battle suits she owned. She quickly pulled it on and made her way toward the door. She stopped suddenly her hand posed inches from the knob. She walked back to her closet and opened the doors. Peach battle suits. Except for seeD uniform that was all that was housed in her closet. She was going on a mission tomorrow were she had to pose as a civilian, she couldn't wear her battle suit! 'Don't I own any other clothes?' She thought in dismay. She hated shopping, which was probably the cause of her current predicament. 'Damn.' She thought. Now I'll have to go shopping and I'll have to tell Selphie and Rinoa that she couldn't hang out with them today. Which means that she won't know what they were planning for her until she gets back from her mission and that could take months! She strode from the room, her mood darkening with each step. She rounded the next corner too involved in her anger to notice the man in her way. She ran into him, hitting his chest and falling to the floor.
"Watch where you're going!" She said from her position on the floor.
"As I recall my dear instructor you ran into me." Replied Seifer, his cocky grin playing across his lips.
"Hyne Seifer, I'm not in the mood." She said as she stood up, straightening out her skirt.
"Well somebody woke up on the wrong side of the bed." His voice colored with his growing anger.
"No I woke up and discovered that I didn't have any clothes"
"And what are you wearing now? A barrel? I would consider those clothes."
"Civilian clothes, Seifer, I don't own the civilian clothes I need for the mission tomorrow."
"Oh?" He said matter of factly. His eyes widened for a second before he replied, "shit neither do I." Quistis looked up at him. 'Great, just great.' Out loud she said,
"You'll have to come shopping with me then. I can't wear my battle uniform and you can't' wear that trench coat."
"What's wrong with my trench coat?"
"Everyone knows you wear it." She said rolling her eyes
"Oh, yeah." Quistis continued her walk to the cafeteria with Seifer in tow.
"We can eat breakfast, then we both need to go to Balmb."
"Fine." They both got into line at the cafeteria. Up ahead Quistis could hear someone shouting.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN ALL THE HOTDOGS ARE GONE?!?" Quistis smiled to herself. Poor Zell, he was too late again. She saw Zell leave the counter dragging his feet as he walked to their normal table. Many of the students in the line disappeared after Zell's outburst; hotdogs really were what most people at the garden ate.
"Chicken-wuss hasn't changed a bit has he?" Seifer said as he watched Zell drag himself to the table.
"Don't call him chicken-wuss Seifer." She said in her best 'instructor' tone.
"Why not? He is."
"He's my friend Seifer, even if he does get emotional."
"Whatever." Quistis would have enjoyed telling Seifer how much like Squall he sounded, but she was up to place her order.
"I'll have the Greek salad please." She said to the lunch lady politely.
"What type of dressing do you want?"
"Italian please." Quistis grabbed her salad and headed over to her friends. Selphie was sitting by Irvine.well on Irvine. Squall and Rinoa were off in their own little land whispering in each others ears, and Zell was of course sulking in his chair muttering how the garden needed to have more hotdogs.
"HI QUISTY!" Yelled Selphie when she saw Qusitis walking over. Quistis smiled and waved to her hyper friend. Selphie scooted off of Irvine's lap to sit in the chair next to Quistis. Irvine gave her a pleading look, which she made a point to ignore.
"Quisty, we're going to have so much fun!" She said, growing more excited if that was possible. Quistis smiled sadly. She really did hate disappointing her friends.
"Selphie I can't go. I have to get some civilian clothes for my mission tomorrow." She looked at her friend sheepishly.
"Well that's perfect. Selphie and I were going to drag you to Balmb to shop anyway." Said Rinoa, breaking away from Squall.
"Ok then we're still on for today?" She asked.
"Of course." Rinoa said smiling. Zell's shot up and scowled at something behind Quistis. She turned around and saw Seifer pulling a chair up next to Quistis.
"Who invited you?!?" Yelled Zell knocking his chair to the floor as he stood up. Quistis motioned for Zell to sit down, which he did, but not without giving Seifer one last glare.
"I invited him to sit we us." Everyone, including Squall looked at her in surprise.
"We both need to buy civilian clothes for the mission." She said trying to explain to her friends, hoping that they would get the hint and not make a scene.
"So he's going to Balm with us?" Asked Selphie. Quistis slowly nodded her head. "Great! Come on! Hurry up! I want to go!" She said springing out of her seat. Quistis ate her salad as quickly as she could. Selphie calmed down somewhat, but when Quistis motioned that she was ready to leave she started to jump up and down. Rinoa, across from her, was just as excited.
"Squall we can use the Ragnarok right? Thanx!" She hugged him and ran out of the cafeteria before he could protest.
"Whatever." Squall said, reciting his famous line. Selphie quickly followed Rinoa. Quistis sighed and chased after her two friends. She got to the entrance of the cafeteria before she turned.
"Coming Seifer?" She said sweetly. He growled as he walked over. 'A day of shopping with these three. Just great, how do I get myself into these things?" He followed Qusitis to the hanger that the Ragnork was parked in. Selphie had placed herself in the cockpit and she was screeching for them to hurry up. Seifer frowned as he climbed into the transport. He sat down across from Quistis and Rinoa. He rearranged his gray coat, trying to get comfortable. Rinoa was giggling at something Quistis had said. She squirmed in her seat doing her best to stay on it. 'This is going to be a long day." He thought to himself. 'A really long day.' "Everyone ready!" Yelled Selphie from the cockpit as she started up the engine. "Good! Here we go!" Selphie flew out toward Balmb at a reckless speed. 'Well at least I'm not stuck in this ship too long. At this speed it's only going to be a five-minute ride.'
