Author's Note: Grasshopper- YAY! We're finally updating! This is going to hopefully be a longer chappy. Kitty's getting the pixie stix because it is veeeeeeery late. We're dedicating this chapter to Ralien and Smoogis because we forgot to put a memo that we didn't have enough room for more fangirls. Thanks for your positive reviews though! If we make another fic, we'll put ya in it!

Disclaimer: We don't own them.

We find Zell walking aimlessly to the cafeteria. He is actually going earlier than usual, just so that he can get more hotdogs. He's sneaking hotdogs. how rude. He gets a hotdog, and walks over to his table. Then, he hears someone shout.

"Stop!" It was Seifer, Fujin, and Rajin. "You're on a diet!" Seifer yelled. "Give me the hotdog! NOW!"

"You'll never get it from me!" Zell screams, shaking his head and then he shoves the hotdog in his mouth.

"Add him to the list." Seifer says quietly. Fujin jots down Zell's name on a notepad, then flips the cover back on.

"What list?" Zell asks, looking frightened and intrigued all at once.

"THE list, Chicken-Wuss. And guess what? You're the first to have the honor of being on it."

"WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?!"

"You heard me. CHICKEN-WUSS."

"I don't need this!" Zell exclaimed stomping out of the room. As he walked to his dorm, he was surprised to hear a lot of stomping and things being dragged across the floor. He knocked. No one answered. He walked in to find Moirae pushing boxes of who-knows-what in the corners of the room. Grasshopper was meditating.

"What the hell?" Zell asked scratching his head with a confused look on his face.

"We're moving to separate dorms." Moirae answered, putting duct tape on another box and pushing it to the corner. "So we're packing all our stuff up." Moirae looks at Grasshopper. "Well, anyway I'm packing."

"Oh.Want some help?" he asked picking up the box effortlessly that Moirae was pushing.

"Uh, sure, whatever." she said. "Do I smell hotdogs?"

"Uh.NO!"

*************************************************************

Later That Day

"Great job everyone! We are definitely ready for opening night tomorrow!" Xu said as everyone filed off the stage. They had been rehearsing for the last six hours. They were exhausted and grumpy. They started to go to the dressing rooms to change out of their costumes when Xu yelled out something.

"WAIT! We need to take pictures." Everyone groaned but trudged back to the stage. The next fifteen minutes were spent by everyone being arranged. First by last names, then height, eye color, hair, etc. It went on and on. They took at least one hundred pictures. When it was all over, Squall walked into the dressing room got changed back into his regular clothes, and started walking back to his dorm. On the way there, he met Kitty, who was heading to the training center.

"Hey Squall!"

::Oh shit.:: thought Squall.

"You wanna come to the training center with me?"

"No. I want to get back to my dorm and SLEEP. something which I am surprised you aren't doing." He said, looking annoyed and tired at the same time.

"Well, I usually stay up later than everyone else. I guess that I have more energy or something, I dunno." She replied, looking at him curiously. "Well, I'm off."

Squall walked back to his dorm. He went over to his bed, lay down, and fell into a sleep that was haunted by nightmares of the upcoming play. He was dreaming that the play was a hit, and that they wanted to keep it showing. year round. He woke up, screaming his head off. *********************************************************** In Grasshopper's Head, During Her Meditation

::I really do like Zell. I wonder if he likes me? NO! I MUST CONCENTRATE! Okay, focus on a light bulb. Make it turn on. There, that's better. Hmm.I wonder what Zell likes in a girl? NO! Light bulb! Must.make.light.up! Hehe I love it when Zell's face lights up. Does that count? NO! Garrrr..forget it!!!!..::

Grasshopper comes out of her meditation to find everything in the room gone.

"What the? Maybe Moirae's right..maybe there is a matrix...Hmm.whatever, I gotta work on my karate anyway. ((A/N: Bet you didn't know Grasshopper took karate. She started taking it before she even knew who Zell was.)) She started to walk towards the training center and take on some grats since she wasn't very strong with her hands yet. She walked into the training center and immediately met up with a grat.

But then, suddenly, out jumped Seifer, clad in a yellow, feathery tunic, with a papier-mâché beak strapped to his face.

"I am the Amazing Choco-Boy!" he shrieked, suddenly running around in circles.

Grasshopper stood slack-jawed, the ready jump rope falling from her grip.

And then she noticed Kitty standing behind him, her mischievously cocky smile seemingly painted on her face. She toyed with her crescent necklace absently with shear delight of watching the older student flail about.

After regaining her bearings, Grasshopper pointed an accusing finger at the SeeD. "What have you DONE?"

Kitty laughed maniacally. "Its not a question of what I've done, but what I am to DO!"

Grasshopper stared in disbelief. "Did you cast some Confuse on him or something? Or was it that faulty Doom again?"

Kitty looked offended. "Why Grasshopper, what has become of you to make you sink so low as to accuse a friend of such a crime?"

Seifer ran around clucking before he stopped in front of Grasshopper and tilted his head. "Tea, anyone? Are you MAD?"

"Yes, yes, my pet," Kitty continued, in her most devious tone, "We're ALL mad here."

Grasshopper's eyes widened. "You figured out how to use that hookah, didn't you?"

Again, Kitty laughed maniacally, before skipping off, Seifer in tow. But, before she was out of earshot, she called back, "But you can never deprive me of my sake!" ((A/N: Kitty's a very persuasive person. Do not deny the mind games, for Ragnarok shall be your destiny!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! *Grasshopper and Moirae commence in bagging Kitty and carrying her to Valhalla, where they lock her in her room* Grasshopper: Bad Kitty. Moirae: Just so long as I don't feel THIS later.....))

But anyway, Grasshopper went off to battle some Grats to let off some steam. ((Did we mention this already? I dunno, I'm too lazy to look back.)) She was going to tell Zell..soon. Sometime today.

*********************************************************** Moirae was in her new dorm, arranging and rearranging the furniture, trying to get everything to fit. She wondered where Kitty and Grasshopper were. probably doing something in the training center. She looked at the furniture, pushed a table up against the wall, and walked over to the training center.

On the way there, she saw Kitty. And also, to her horror, Seifer. And not just Seifer in his plain clothes. Nooo. in a chocobo costume, following Kitty around. ::What the hell.. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! WHY HAS THIS ABOMINATION OCCURED???????:: She rushed toward Kitty. "What have you DONE?"

"I'm just having fun. you can't blame me for being bored, can you?"

"Will the mind games never cease? Come on Seifer, I think that you need to go back to your dorm.. NOW." And with that, she pulled Seifer toward his dorm.

"But Mommy, I want to chase the moogles for another hour!" Seifer complained, reluctantly following Moirae.

As they got back to his dorm, she shoved him inside. "Now. you will go and get changed. Then, when you are done, you will come back our here, ok? I'm going to undo whatever Kitty has done. if I can." Moirae shut the door.

She stood outside in the hallway, waiting for him to come back out. As she was wondering what the hell Kitty had done, Grasshopper walked by with a black eye and some minor scratches. "What the hell happened to you?"

"Stupid T-Rexaurs.." Grasshopper cursed under her breath, walking by Moirae, heading to the infirmary.

::OK, fine, don't tell me what happened, then.:: Moirae thought. Just then the door opened. Seifer came out, looking confused.

"OK, why was I wearing a chocobo costume, and how did I get back to my dorm?"

"Kitty messed with your head, apparently. I guess that she did it just for the heck of it. And I brought you back to your dorm. just to make sure that she didn't do anything else." Moirae told him.

"Oh, well, thanks. Now, where's Kitty? I think that she and I need to have a little chat." Seifer said, with a look that plainly said: 'I am so going to kill that bitch for this!' in his eyes. "Ummm, well, I don't know where she is right now. I think that she's back in her dorm. and I really don't think that it would be a good idea to go and disturb her right now. she's in her I-want-to-mess-with-people's-minds mood tonight, and judging by what she did to you, I'd say stay out of her way."

"Fine. Anyway, I heard that you and Grasshopper were moving into new dorms. Is that true?" Seifer asked, making conversation.

"Yeah. I'm not finished with arranging the furniture yet, and I KNOW that Grasshopper hasn't started on ANY of it, so right now it's a complete wreck."

"Well, uh, if you need any help, you know where to find me." He said.

"Thanks. Well, I better be going. it's late. good night." Moirae said, looking in his eyes.

"Yeah. good night. See you later, I guess."

"Bye." Moirae turned and walked back to her dorm. ************************************************************ Grasshopper had just finished putting band-aids on her scratches when Moirae returned. "Well, how'd it go?" Grasshopper asked.

"What's THAT supposed to mean?" Moirae asked suspiciously.

"Well. uh. I saw you hanging around outside Seifer's dorm, so I uh." she broke off, looking nervous.

"Nothing happened. I was bringing him back to his dorm. Kitty did something to him, like brainwashed him into dressing up in a chocobo costume. and I wanted to make sure that he was okay." Moirae told her, wishing that she would just lay off the subject.

"Oh. Well, I kinda knew that she had done something, because when I was in the training center, he jumped out of the bushes, yelling "I'm Choco-boy!" or some crap like that. Then Kitty turned up, toying with that necklace of hers, and I knew that she had done something to him."

"Well, how'd you do in the training center?" Moirae asked.

"Well, I went in there just to fight grats, then this stupid T-Rexaur showed up, and I knew I was screwed, so I ran. Happy?" Grasshopper was not in a very good mood.

"OK, OK, no need to bite my head off! Anyway, I'm going to sleep." Moirae replied.

"Me too. See ya in the morning!" Grasshopper called after her.

************************************************************

"I'm so tired!" Grasshopper said to herself in her new dorm. It was 4:16 in the morning. She couldn't get to sleep for two reasons. One, she was still trying to think of what to say to Zell later that day. Two, she usually listened to music, but because of her unorganized packing skills, she couldn't find her stereo. "I will go to sleep! I will go to zzzzzzzz.."

Moirae was still wide awake. She was at the secret spot, very bored. She tried to get on the roof, but that didn't work out too well, so she settled for sitting on the wall. Lori suddenly appeared. They started talking.

Kitty was still laughing about how Seifer was in a chocobo costume. She decided that she wanted to control Samy and Raven next. She sneaked out of her dorm and stood outside their dorm. And waited..

************************************************************

It was seven a.m., and everyone was in Moirae and Grasshopper's dorm. When we say everyone, we mean Moirae, Seifer, Kitty, Kola, Binx, Lori, Grasshopper, Zell, Raven, Keiry, and everyone else in the group that was bent on destroying the play. "All right, people, listen up!" shouted Grasshopper. No one paid attention. Then Kitty spoke in a soft whisper.

"Everyone. shut up. Now." Everyone went quiet. ::I have such good persuasive skills.. Feed my ego!:: she thought to herself.

Grasshopper spoke up. "All right. Everyone in favor of totally destroying the play, raise your hand." Everyone but Binx raised their hands. Kola nudged her in the ribs. Binx reluctantly raised her hand, and continued reading her cat people book. "Good. Now we just need to figure out how we're going to do it, and then we're going to run it, until we get it perfect. Got it?"

Everyone nodded their heads, except Zell. He yelled, "Got it!" at the top of his voice. They all stared at him. His face went red.

Seifer muttered, "Chicken-wuss," under his breath. Zell heard him, but at a look from Grasshopper, shut his mouth.

"Okay, Moirae has agreed to present the two plans that we have so far for ruining the play. Moirae."

Moirae looked up at her, her eyes unfocused. Then they slid back into focus. "Sorry. Wasn't paying attention. But I guess that you want me to present the plans, huh?"

"That might be a good idea."

"Ok," said Moirae, getting up and going to the front of the group, carrying two posters.

She stood there for about thirty seconds, wondering how to begin. Then she said, "Well, here's plan one. We go in, act like we're part of the audience, and then, at the scene where Rhett and Scarlett kiss near the end, we rush up on stage and destroy the set, and carry off Rhett and Scarlett."

"Plan number two is we act as the stage crew, and mess things up in the same scene. Only this time, we pour water on Rhett and Scarlett, set off a bunch of fireworks, and make the lights go all screwy. I think that this is the best plan, as we can blame it all on the faulty wiring, and the water was a random act of Hyne. Whereas the other plan, everyone would know that it was planned, and they would also know who we are. We might add on if we need to, but this is the basic plan. Grasshopper?"

"All right. Let's see. a show of hands for plan number one." No one except Binx raised her hand. "Ok, plan number two." Everyone except Binx raised their hands. "Look like it's plan number two, then. Let's get to work!" ***********************************************************

Everyone in the group went into the auditorium. Grasshopper spoke up. "Look, me, Kitty, and Moirae are going to demonstrate, and then I want everyone else to do what we did. Only, don't set off the fireworks, mess with the lights, or pour water. Got it?"

Everyone nodded their heads. "Good. Let's go you two." Grasshopper, Kitty, and Moirae went backstage. Grasshopper opened the curtains, allowing everyone to see what was going on. Then, she got beside the curtains, where she had conveniently placed a rope that was attached to a bucket. Kitty had placed herself beside the box of fireworks, with an evil glint in her eye. Moirae was by the light board. Grasshopper shouted, "NOW!" and the magic happened.

Grasshopper pulled the rope, Kitty decided to not light off the fireworks, and settled for throwing pieces of paper, and Moirae said "Black light, blue light, red light, green light," at the top of her lungs to signify what order the lights were to go in. Then it was over.

"OK, now Seifer, Lori, and Zell are next. Zell, you take the rope, Seifer, you get the lights, and Lori, you get to throw the paper. Action!" Grasshopper ordered. They did as they were told. Zell pulled the rope, Lori threw the confetti sized paper, and Seifer yelled out the light colors. It continued in similar fashion until everyone had done it perfectly. Then they went to the cafeteria. **********************************************************

Zell went up to the lunch ladies and started to ask for a hotdog. Then he saw Grasshopper behind him, and ordered a salad instead. She smiled sweetly at him, and ordered a salad for herself. When they had gotten their salads, they joined Kitty, Moirae, and Seifer at their usual table. "So, do you guys think that this is going to work?" Moirae was asking Kitty and Seifer. "I mean, not be all cynical and all, but that's a lot of people to be working back there."

"I agree, Moirae. What do you think that we should do about that problem, Grasshopper? Or are you too busy chatting with Chicken-Wuss?" he sneered.

Grasshopper was about to attack him when Zell stopped her. "Don't worry about it. it doesn't matter."

"Okay," she replied, giving in.

Zell and Grasshopper sat down and started eating. By now, everyone else had finished their hotdogs. "Well, I think that we are going to have to tell some of the people that they will have to monitor the exits and make sure that no one notices us. And the others can just sit and play cards or something, on stand-by, just in case someone chickens out." Grasshopper said belatedly in answer to Seifer's question.

"Ok. and so we tell them that they got up at seven a.m. just to be on stand- by? Got it." Zell said.

Kitty was playing with her string, Moirae was in her own little world, Seifer was thinking about something, and only Zell and Grasshopper remained in the conversation. They got up simultaneously, put away their trays, and walked out. "Who thinks that they are going out without realizing it?" Kitty asked absentmindedly.

"I do." Said Moirae and Seifer at the same time.

::Who thinks that two other people are going out without realizing it?:: Kitty thought to the penguins in her head. "We do!" they all chorused, except number eight. He was too busy plotting world domination to care. Kitty got up, put away her tray, and walked out, still playing with her string. Moirae and Seifer got up, put away their trays, and walked out of the cafeteria. **********************************************************
