Chapter 3 is finally up! It takes me a long time to think about it, and I
finally settle with this version. I know you're getting impatient and tired
of waiting, but the grand event will be up very, very soon…so R & R,
please! If I get a lot of reviews, I might write another one! ^_^

1 Another Devastating Morning…
"What really happen up there?"
"C'mon! Tell us! Aren't we your best friends?"
"Well, as what Quistis told me that day…"
The gang was in the cafeteria, taking a break after the meeting. Quistis and Selphie were seated on one side of the table with Rinoa in the middle, pressuring her about Squall's weird 'smoky-appearance', and Squall and Irvine sat down on the other side with Zell. Seifer just grabbed a chair from an empty table, and sat in the middle of the table separating the guys and girls. Zell was wolfing down his 34th hot dog when his girlfriend Abby Simfields, a pig-tailed lady from the Library sauntered over to the table, carrying another plate of piling hot dogs.
"Here, Zell, your hot dogs as promised!" she said and winked at him, then went over to the side of the cafeteria to join her lady friends. Then they turned around, saw Zell, and waved at him before leaving the place. Zell just waved back with a hand while another was holding one hot dog.
"Look's like I've got a new rival as a ladies' man," muttered Irvine under his breath. Zell continuing gobbling up his hot dogs, oblivious to what Irvine said. Squall just shrugged, and Seifer just sat in his chair silently. The girls sitting in front of them suddenly gave a yelp of surprise as Rinoa laughed.
"Rinoa, you don't wanna tell the whole school what you did, do you?" asked Squall crossly.
"No, Squall…I'm telling them that the trick worked! And they're welcomed to try it out!" said Rinoa and continued laughing. Irvine and Seifer, having heard her said that, quickly looked at Squall, their looks on their faces demanding an answer.
"What trick does she play on you until you got yourself steaming all over?" asked Irvine.
"Yeah. You'd better tell us so that we could put our guards up," added Seifer. Upon hearing that, Squall and Irvine stared at Seifer as if he had just grown another extra head. Seifer stared back at the two bewildered guys and said, "What?"
"Uh…nothing," Squall quickly said.
"Then what did Rinoa did to you? Tell us now!" said Irvine. Seifer waited expectantly, and Squall told them what had happened.
"Well…she Thundaga-ed me once, and I was just too angry to control myself, so I blasted three Thundaga at her…"
"What_did_you_just_say!" shouted Seifer and stood up, drawing out his Hyperion and pointed at Squall. The girls stopped chatting. Many people in the cafeteria stared at them, but Zell continued wolfing down his hot dogs, unaware that a fight is about to break out. "How_dare_you_"
"Chill, man…" said Irvine calmly, standing up and pushing away the Gunblade. Then he turned around and addressed the speculating students. "Sorry people! We're just practicing our…uh…performance!" People seem to buy it as they started continue what they were doing.
"You idiot of a Seifer!" scolded Quistis. She stood up, walked over to a surprised Seifer, and stomped on his foot again, this time the left one. Seifer roared in agony and let go of his Gunblade, the weapon dropping perfectly onto Quistis' hand as he clutched his sore foot.
"Quistis! Stop stomping onto my foot and that's MY Gunblade you're taking! Give it back now!" shouted Seifer but stumbled onto the floor with a loud thud as Quistis pulled it away from his reach.
"Too bad. I, as an Instructor, confiscate this Gunblade to stop someone here from creating havoc in the school. Please see me later in class to get it back," said Quistis coolly and sat back down in her seat, still holding on to the Gunblade. Selphie cheered, "Go, Quistis!" and Seifer just stood up, stared at Quistis sulkily and returned to his seat, grumbling silently. Selphie went and take a closer look at the Hyperion and started oohing and aahing.
"Woah," murmured Irvine after a few moments of silence. Squall nodded his head in agreement. Zell finally finished his meal, stared at the three silent guys and said, "Did I miss anything?"
"No, and that reminds me of asking Squall to continue with his story. Now, after you cast three Thundagas, what happen?" asked Irvine. Zell moved his chair closer to Squall, and Seifer shifted his chair towards the table, listening in to the conversation.
"She got mad. I've never seen her this angry before, and I felt that maybe I've been a bit too nasty to her. So I was about to run out from the room when she got me."
"Got you what?" asked Zell.
"She got hold of my card key, and I'm unable to escape. So, I'm trapped in a room with an angry angel and she gave me her mega Thundaga," finished Squall, the incident replaying in his mind.
"And that makes you go all smoky-like? No wonder!" said Zell.
"Woah…woah…girls are getting more scary every day," said Irvine. He began ticking off numbers with his fingers. "First, a mad Rinoa that blew the Commander away." Zell and Seifer started cracking up. "Then, a mad Quistis that suddenly enjoys stomping onto people's foot." This time, Zell and Squall laughed.
"Third, mad Selphie will be the maddest of the three mad girls!" said Seifer, and all the guys doubled over, laughing even harder.
"Ahem…" All the guys stopped laughing. Selphie, Rinoa and Quistis were carrying each a yellow zappy orb in their hands, all the time growing larger.
"Uh oh," murmured Irvine.
"We're in trouble," added Zell.
"How dare you insult me!" said Selphie, glaring at Seifer. He grinned back and laughed again, but one icy shot from Quistis got him to stop.
"And how dare you side with them!" said Rinoa, scowling at Squall.
"Ready, you guys?" asked Quistis. Rinoa and Selphie nodded. The guys quickly think of a way to get out from the Cafeteria before they were to end up like what Squall had said earlier. Then Squall had an idea, and held up a finger, stopping the mob of angry girls in their tracks.
"You can't do that in here!" said Squall. "People will be watching and…" The cafeteria suddenly felt quiet. Not a single student is in sight.
"Hey…where'd everybody go?" asked Zell, scratching his head.
"Break is over! Yeay! I can finally escape!" said Irvine and was set to leave the place, but Selphie pulled him back and poor Irvine was trapped with his friends.
"Not a single one of you'll escape…" said Quistis threateningly.
"Uh…hey! Aren't you supposed to go to your class now, Instructor?" said Seifer. Quistis looked sort of skeptical for a moment. Her orb stopped growing, and the rest of the guys breathed in relief. Selphie and Rinoa paused, too. Seifer, having found a way to get Quistis out of the group so that they will not attack, continued. "As an Instructor, you're not supposed to be late for your class and…"
"I just remembered I have no class this afternoon," said Quistis and the girls smiled at each other, an evil grin on their faces. Their orbs grew bigger and brighter. The guys stared at them in horror.
"One…" chorused Quistis, Rinoa and Selphie. The guys grew alarmed and quickly junctioned their Thundaga spells to their Elem-Def. "Two…" Before the guys could finish Junctioning, though…
A major explosion resonated through the school. In the third floor, Cid's office shook for a moment or two. Cid quickly held onto his table, and his empty glass of water broke for no reason as Edea walked in. Then the vibrations stopped.
"Edea, dear…what did you do this time?" said Cid.
"I did nothing wrong, honey. I was going to your office when the whole school started shaking, as if a minor earthquake has just passed through us."
"Earthquakes did not hit this place before."
"I said, 'as if'. And Cid dear, we really should get better quality drinking cups," said Edea, looking at the pile of broken glass that lay on his table.
"Huh? Oh…okay," said Cid. "But I think it's coming from the direction of the Cafeteria..."
Edea looked thoughtful for a moment. Then she said, "Squall and Seifer must be up to mischief again. Those SeeDs…they never changed their wild nature…"
Down in the Cafeteria, the extra powerful Thundaga spells almost blew up the whole place. Well, not really the whole place. The impact was at its strongest when it hit the four poor SeeDs, Squall, Seifer, Zell and Irvine. Thick smoke engulfed the foursome and Rinoa quickly cast a mild Aero. The smoke soon disappeared to reveal four electrified guys, with lightning zaps still dancing around them. They stared at the girls, looked at each other and keeled over.
"Squall!" shouted Rinoa and quickly went over to her beloved knight, who lay on the floor, passed out cold due to the second major blast. Selphie went to check on Irvine, then Zell and a swearing Seifer before turning to Quistis.
"Um…aren't we a bit too nasty, Quistis?" asked Selphie.
"Nope…I don't think so," answered Quistis.
"Girls…are…really…scary…now…" were Seifer's last words before he blacked out.
So, okay…this chapter's a bit boring, but I've just got nothing else to describe before the big main event…so…more coming soon…
