A/N: Abby is a character I made up for Zell…anyway I don't know the name of his pig-tailed library girlfriend, do I?
"Dr.Kadowaki, are they alright?"
"Well, they seemed to be struck with a very heavy Thunder-based spell, much powerful than a normal Thundaga, and all four of them are paralyzed. But they are now in a stable condition," said Dr. Kadowaki. Quistis, Rinoa, and Selphie hold hands together and jumped for joy in the room, laughing in relief. Dr.Kadowaki blinked a few times in confusion, then shook her head and smiled.
After the 'Gigavolt' as what Selphie described it, they quickly sent for Dr.Kadowaki, an aged but kind doctor in charge of the school's Infirmary. With the other students' help, they managed to carry the four KO- ed guys to the enlarged hospital wing Headmaster Cid has built after the school has been permanently stationed at its usual place outside the fishing town of Balamb. There, Dr.Kadowaki had kindly asked the girls to leave it to her hands to treat them, and after a long time of waiting in the doctor's office, the doctor came in, and held out a 'V' sign. They knew the guys would be alright!
"But tell me, what exactly has happened to them?" asked the doctor as she sat in her desk in her office. The girls were quiet for a moment or two, and then Quistis spoke up. "Well, they got Thundaga-ed by three girls in the Cafeteria, almost blasting the place into smithereens. Then we tried to revive them using Life and Full-Life, but they're still unconscious, so we quickly brought them to you."
"And I presumed the three girls who Thundaga-ed them are the three of you," said Dr.Kadowaki. The girls all nodded their heads slowly. The doctor's expression suddenly changed, from a smiling kind face to a disapproving one. They anticipated a long lecture from the doctor, then another lecture from Edea and Cid if Dr.Kadowaki report them. Quistis imagined herself loosing her Instructor post again, and she shivered in fear. Rinoa and Selphie imagined the horror of not seeing their loved ones again if Rinoa was to be sent back to her old home in Deling City and Selphie back to Trabia Garden. A worried frown appeared on their faces and they looked at Dr.Kadowaki nervously, waiting for the worst to come. But the doctor laughed instead, surprising them greatly.
"Don't worry, though, I would not report this to Cid. I know that you young people are all up to mischief when you get the chance, but if this happens again, I'll not give another exception." They sighed in relief.
"May we see them?" asked Selphie.
"Yes, you may, but don't take too long, though. They still need some rest…"
But before the doctor could say anything else, the girls were happily walking down the corridor towards the hospital wing.
"Squall?"
Squall opened his eyes slowly, and bright white light met his vision, temporarily blinding him. He blinked a few times, and got up to a sitting position. After getting used to the light, he saw a figure dressed in blue and shiny ebony hair framing her angelic face sat down next to his bed, a worried look on her face, saying, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, my angel," said Squall and managed a weak smile. He felt tired, but he did not want to show it to Rinoa. Rinoa propped his pillow up, and carefully laid him back.
"What had just…" A finger waggled in front of him, and he paused.
"Shh…you've just recovered from the blast," said Rinoa. She gazed into Squall, and he gazed back at her, melting into the Rinoa's warm eyes. "It's all my fault…I should not have cast another Thundaga onto you…I'm sorry, Squall…"
"Never mind…I forgive you…," said Squall, their gaze never breaking. Then Rinoa sat down on his bed, and lay against his warm chest. She played around with his silver Griever hung around his neck, and the both of them clasped their hands together.
"Oh, Squall…"
"Rinoa…"
"Squall…"
"Rinoa…"
"Squall…"
"Rinoa…"
"Can the two of you lovebirds do it another time? Don't make a scene in here," said Seifer, eyeing the couple with mock jealousy, sitting cross-legged on his bed.
"Yes, I know you're jealous, but they can't help it, can they?" said Selphie who sat down beside Irvine. "Let them have it their way, for once." Irvine nodded his head in agreement. After a few minutes of silence, they realised that Squall and Rinoa were asleep in each other's arms.
"Aww…so touching…so sweet…" Selphie gushed. Irvine grabbed back his hat, and Selphie was about to protest when Quistis came in, carrying a Gunblade in her hands.
"My Gunblade!" exclaimed Seifer. He got two silencing stares from Selphie and Irvine, and he realized that he had almost woken up Squall and Rinoa. They were still snuggled together on the bed, not hearing Seifer's loud voice.
"Yes, and I hope you'll…forgive me…for what I did just now…" said Quistis softly. She held out the Gunblade to Seifer, and Seifer, smilingly said, "You're forgiven, Instructor." He took the weapon from her and Quistis gave him a nice, long hug. Seifer put down his weapon and hugged her back, mumbling, "Oh…Quistis…you're the best…"
"Oh, Irvine…why is it that the two of us aren't really intimate now?" wondered Selphie aloud.
"Shh!!! Don't say out so loud!" Irvine whispered quickly to Selphie, but before he could stop her from saying it, the two fondled couples suddenly looked up and stared at her. Irvine gave her a 'I-warn-you- earlier' look. Selphie smiled sheepishly and said, "Uh…sorry for interrupting…you can go on now…"
"Zell is still not up, is he?" asked Rinoa. Everybody turned and looked at the sleeping figure next to Irvine. Zell was still lying on his bed with his back facing them. The only sign of life is his steady and rhythmic breathing.
"I know just the thing to wake him up," said a girl, and everybody turned to face Abby as she walked into the room, carrying two plates of steaming hot dogs. The delicious smell wafted throughout the room, making the guys stared at the food hungrily.
Zell's body suddenly stirred in the bed. He got up and turned to see where the smell came from. Seeing the steaming hot dogs in Abby's hands, he said, "Hey, Abby! You've brought your Zelly hot dogs!"
"Yes, Zell," said the pig-tailed Library girl and placed it on his side table. Irvine reached out and was about grab one when Zell saw it and slapped Irvine's hand away. Zell started bawling like a small kid while holding the hot dogs out of Irvine's reach. Quistis, Seifer, Rinoa and Squall covered their ears to block out Zell's yelling.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY BABY!" Zell glared at Irvine, like a fierce bull protecting his prized hay from the herd. Irvine shook his head in defeat and Selphie whispered to him, "I'll get you one later."
"Yummy," said Zell and in five seconds, the hot dogs disappeared. Selphie suddenly gave out a yelp of surprise.
"Oh no! Today's Monday, right?"
"Yes, my dear Selphie. What's the matter?" asked Irvine.
"Do you think we can still do the thing?"
"What thing?"
"Irvine! The Valentine's Night Bash!' said Selphie, pouting. "It's our idea and you've forgotten about it! And you guys have only just recovered…and the stage in the Quad hasn't been build yet! Oh no…" wailed Selphie, near to tears.
"Don't worry, Selphie." Everybody stared at Abby. "I can get the people in the Library to help, and their friends, too…"
"Oh, Abby my sweet lady! You've just saved our lives!" said Irvine and Selphie hit him so hard on the head, he grew dazed for a few seconds. He was practically seeing Selphie and stars dancing in front of his eyes. Seifer said to Quistis, "I told you, Selphie is just one mad…" and Quistis held up a warning finger, silencing him.
"THANK YOU SO MUCH!" screamed Selphie with joy and hugged Abby so tight that Abby's face grew slightly red.
"Selphie! You're killing the poor girl!" scolded Quistis. Selphie realised her mistake and let go a gasping Abby.
"Sorry, Abby! I'm really really really sorry!"
"It's alright…now, fill me in about the Bash!"
Well, it seems the heroes are out for the next few days, but with Abby and her friends' help, the Bash will definitely be on, right? So, next chapter coming up: Chapter 5: The Stage Is Built!
