"Rise and shine, Squall!" said Rinoa cheerfully as she pressed the
blue button on a black remote control and the air-conditioner slowed down
to a halt, closing its vents. Squall opened his eyes lazily, wondering what
was happening, and saw Rinoa placed back his air-cond remote control. He
found that his air-conditioner has been switched off, and groaned. Then he
remembered that he had lock his room door with the card key last night…
"How did you get in here?" he asked sleepily.
"Quistis and me tried an experiment by using a credit card to open people's door, and it work, so I used Dad's credit card to open your door," answered Rinoa as she pulled apart the curtain. The warm and bright morning sunshine streamed in, lighting up his dark and cold room. He squinted his eyes, and after recovering from the sudden burst of sunlight, he saw Rinoa waving her hands in front of him, saying, "Hey, wake up now, you sleepy lion." He just ignored it and closed back his eyes, wanting to drift back off to sleep, and Rinoa gave him a nice jab to his ribs that jolted him to sitting position on his bed. He moaned in pain, clutching his side. Then, after a few moments, he laid back down again, much to Rinoa's frustration.
"Squall! Wake up! It's morning!" Rinoa said.
"It's SUNDAY morning…Hyne…let me go back to sleep…if not…I'll report your doings to Headmaster Cid…" mumbled Squall.
"Go ahead! Edea allowed me to, anyway, to wake you up! Headmaster Cid, Edea, Irvine and Selphie wanted to see you, me, Quistis and Seifer at ten o'clock in the morning, and now it's already fifteen minutes past ten! Everybody's waiting for you and…" She heard a soft snore coming from the figure lying on the bed. She sighed, and suddenly she remembered the trick she had been dying to try on, but she reconsidered it, after remembering what Quistis said, "It's like poking a sleeping dragon in the eye." In this case, it is like shooting a thunderbolt at a sleeping lion.
"Why don't I give it a try…?" said Rinoa, and smiling mischievously, she raised up her hands, and a big bright yellow orb appeared…
And a loud crack of thunder was heard in the room. A few students popped their heads out of their room, wondering what had just happened. Silence. Then…
"RINOA!" Squall's voice roared. "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, CASTING A THUNDAGA SPELL ON ME!" And there was another loud crack of thunder. And another. And another. The students, thinking it was just another 'couple fight', returned to their rooms.
Back inside, Squall was trying to catch back his breath, after all his work of spell casting. Poor Rinoa was Thundaga-ed by the angry lion three times, and she lay on the floor, all black. Squall gave a small laugh, watching for a few moments the state his beautiful angel was in. Then he watched her calmly stood up, dusted her sooty clothes, and spread out her hands. Suddenly, he felt a sensation, and a blue orb flew out from him, bathed Rinoa in a blue light, and realized what had just happened.
"Hey! You drew my Curaga spell!" Squall exclaimed, but Rinoa did not answer. Then, she walked slowly towards Squall, the yellow orb forming again in her hands, this time growing larger every moment. She stared into him, and he could see her eyes were burning with anger. Red-hot anger.
"Uh oh," mumbled Squall under his breath. He had never seen Rinoa this angry before. He felt something very bad is gonna happen, and quickly ran across the room to his door, but halfway through, he heard Rinoa said, "You left behind something."
He whirled around and saw the Rinoa holding his only key to freedom: his card key.
"Oh no…oh shit…oh no…oh shit…"
And a louder crack of thunder was heard in his room.
After a few minutes, the door slid open and thick smoke rolled out. Then a very happy Rinoa came out of the smoky room, saying, "Meet you up there in 10 minutes," and left a blackened Squall lying flat on his back on his room floor, muttering, "…what an angry angel…"
