Chapter 18
Squall: (say something you idiot!)uh…(smooth move dumb ass). I (cough), I wasn't expecting this. I was told that I wouldn't be up here doing this, but I guess things can't always go my way. What can I say…I'm honored to be given this position. I didn't think that I would do this sort of thing again but, like I said things can't always go my way. Thanks again.
Squall waves and walks off the stage before Norg could stop him.
Norg: He was quick to walk away. Okay, now you have the rest of the night to yourselves. Enjoy tonight while you still can. Good night!
Norg retreats behind the curtains to accompany Seifer and Quistis.
Norg: Can the two of you escort me down to my chamber?
Quistis: Yes, of course.
Seifer: Sure.
Rinoa: Squall, I am so happy for you.
Squall: (smirk) Oh yeah?
Rinoa: What?
Squall: How about a kiss as a gift from you?
Rinoa laughed but gave in to his request.
Zell: How about you stay over tonight?
Jessica: Hmm…as much as that sounds tempting, I can't.
Zell: (pouting) Why not?
Jessica: I have to be here early for the first day of classes.
Zell: Are we still on for lunch tomorrow?
Jessica: Of course (I might be a little late, I have some unfinished business to deal with).
Selphie: Come on, let's go find everyone.
Irvine: Right behind you.
Quistis pulls Norg to the side.
Quistis: I just wanted to thank you, again. I really appreciate everything.
Norg: No need to thank me. Besides, now I can relax and leave.
Quistis: What? Where are you going?
Norg: I can go back to the Shumi village for retirement. It's peaceful and quiet.
Seifer: Can I ask what's going to happen with Raijin and Fuijin?
Norg: Well, since Quistis has you as the body guard, they are now under the command of Squall. You'd have to ask him.
Seifer: Oh (they're not going to like that very much).
Norg: You two can go back and enjoy the rest of the ceremony. Go ahead, I'll be fine. Raijin and Fuijin will be here shortly.
Quistis and Seifer head to the elevator.
Seifer: Ladies first.
Quistis enters the elevator with Seifer right behind her.
Quistis: (I hope the elevator doesn't break down!)
Quistis felt Seifer staring at her.
Quistis: What?
Seifer shrugs.
Seifer: Nothing.
He pushes the first floor buttons and the elevator begins to move.
