Oh my....How long has it been since the last chapter?? Well, to tell
you the truth, it has been incredibly too long and I just want to say that
I'm really sorry. =( I was really busy and writer's block also got in the
way. Fortunately, summer is here, along with incredible amounts of time and
I can only hope that some of you will continue to read this. I also hope I
can bring you new chapters at steady intervals instead of twice a year! ^_^
Well, here we go!!!
Disclaimer: Although I may be similar to Square....Ahem....SquareEnix, in that I delay things for very long periods of time, ::cough:: ::FFXI:: ::cough:: I am still in no way a part of them, therefore I claim to own not a single gil of any of their games! Has it sunk in yet??
After the last chapter's events....
Moomba: In case you have forgotten where the last chapter ended up, I shall tell you! ^_^ Well, our FF8rs have, unfortunately, gotten caught by the Square Managers! They will have to end up facing the big one: Dio. He shall decide if these teenagers are still Real World material, even though they have gotten in trouble. Ooh....
So now, all the Real Worlders are in one of the Ghost Hotel rooms, awaiting their sentence.
Seifer: This is incredible! How can they expect their show to be any good if we act all nice and angelic?
Zell: For once, I agree with ya Seifer. But still, I can't believe I got into this because of one hotdog. Man....
Quistis: You got in trouble for one hotdog? Zell, you just had one hundred of them last night!
Zell: At least I'm not a slut like you! Making out on the Round Square ride....
Quistis: That's it!!
Right when they were about to go at it, a voice of reason came upon them.
Selphie: You guys! Now's not the time to fight! We're in major trouble and we could get kicked off the show!
Squall: Darn.
Selphie shot a death glare at Squall, and then continued on with her speech.
Selphie: All right guys! We have to stick together. Can't we ever get along for once? We have to show those Square managers who's boss!!!
Little did they know, Dio was already in the hotel on the first floor. Little did Dio know, I was there too!
Dio: So, what seems to be the problem?
GSM: Well, Mr. Dio sir, myself and the other Square Managers have found problems with the group whose show you have accepted to be filmed here. You even let them have jobs here. But unfortunately, as all our employees know, they are not allowed to partake in the activities of the Square that they are only supposed to patrol. I believe that we shouldn't take this trouble from those hooligans and let them film their show elsewhere!!!
RSM: One of them was making out on one of the ride, causing us to lose a number of sales tonight!
CSM: Riding our Chocobos without a license and abusing one of our janitors....
ESM: AND ruining our #1 play of the year!! The whole audience was extremely disappointed when they saw Irvine run away right in the middle of the show!
Dio: I see....I agree with all of you. We shall have a little talk with the director of this show. Or actually, maybe we won't even have a talk! This type of behavior is not to be taken lightly! I shall tell these troublemakers and their director that the contract is done and no more filming of their show will take place at my beloved Gold Saucer!!
???: I don't agree.
Dio: C-Cloud?
Cloud: Having a top-rated show being filmed at your amusement park can only bring in more sales then they have lost for you today. Shouldn't that come as a great advantage to you, as many of your potential customers will probably see the show and want to come?
Dio: Ehh....
Cloud: Well?
Dio: Why do you think you have a say in this Cloud Strife?
Cloud: Well, I happen to know the director of this show and I also happen to know that they do not want any problems and are willing to come to a compromise. If this cannot be done, then we'll just do it your way....
Cloud takes out his sword pointing it at the various managers.
Dio: A-Al-Alright. Now where is this damn director that has caused us nothing but trouble???
Moomba: Ahem. I am a director, but I have definitely not caused you trouble! You've caused that for yourselves!!
Dio: What are you talking about? Your kids have lost us sales and customers!!! Wait a minute? How are you a director? You're just a Moomba! Hahahahaha!!!
Moomba: I think these FF8rs have lots of potential and will make not only our show more popular, but also your park! Having lame managers doesn't exactly up your sales and popularity. Besides, contracts aren't called contracts for nothing! You can't break 'em! Oh, and if you only knew that I am more than a Moomba....Heehee....
Dio: We aren't keeping the contract and we aren't keeping these loser employees in my park! Take your film crew out of here!
Moomba: Now Cloud!
All of sudden Tifa, Barret, Red XIII, the real Yuffie, Cait Sith and Cid came barging through the entrance of the Ghost Hotel. Together with Cloud, they went after Dio and the managers. In a mere 30 seconds they were all on the ground tied up.
Moomba: Thanks you guys!! Now Dio, what were you saying about our contract???
Dio: Huff puff. Ah, ok. But we better get those profits back when the show airs!
Moomba: I'll do you one better! I'll give you the money right now if you don't give US trouble anymore and let them take part in the events in the Squares! If the show isn't exciting enough, I can't guarantee you those profits....
Dio: Fine!!! Now untie my managers and me and give me my money!
Moomba reached into her knapsack and gave Dio a thousand gil. The others untied Dio and the managers. As soon as their feet were free, they ran like the wind, afraid to be attacked again.
Moomba: Good job guys! I'll never forget your help!!
Cloud: Now we can go rescue Squall and the others.
Moomba: Hmm....I have a better idea....For the show....
Moomba snapped her fingers and in an instant she and the other seven looked like Dio and the managers.
Moomba: How about you guys do me one more favor?
FF7ers: Sure!!! ^_^
Moomba: Well, they'll be expecting to get in trouble. So how about we pretend to be Dio and the managers? We'll make them do stuff to prove that they should stay on the show. Kind of like the videotapes they send in the beginning?
Cloud: Hehe....That would be kind of fun!
Moomba: I'm not doing it to be mean, just to make sure that they really do want to stay on the show! Besides, I saved their butts and mine from being kicked off the show!
FF7ers: All right! Let's do it!!!
The eight proceeded upstairs to meet the FF8ers as Dio and the managers. Meanwhile....
Rinoa: I hear footsteps!
Selphie: Oh no! It's gonna be those managers! We're gonna get kicked off! We're gonna get kicked off!
Irvine: It's all right Selphie! We just gotta stay strong, just like you said. Right Squall?
Squall: Sure.
A second later the door to their room opened and in came Dio and the managers. At least that is what they think....
"Dio": So, are you the hooligans who brought trouble into my park?
Seifer: Hey Mister! We're not hooligans! Except maybe Zell here, but anyways, all we are doing is trying to lighten up the show a little! Instead of making it boring....Except maybe Squall here....
Rinoa: He's not boring, just a little shy, right honey?
Seifer: Tss, whatever.
Squall: Hey! What gives you the right to say whatever! It's my trademark!!
Seifer: He, whatever.
"Dio": See? This is what I'm talking about! All this fighting! Geez! Well, now that I think about it, I think I have an idea for you guys to stay on this show.
Selphie: Yay! ^_^
"Dio": ^_^ I mean.Settle down, young lady. All right. Us eight will be measuring your abilities and personalities to see if you qualify to stay on this show! My seven managers will each be in one of the hotel rooms and you will each be assigned to the one that manages the Square you work in! They will each interview you and I will be there too, so we will have to do this one at a time. Starting with...You Selphie!
~~
In one of the hotel rooms sat Moomba as Dio and the Yuffie as the Wonder Square Manager. Selphie came in and stood in front of them, waiting for any directions.
"WSM": So, Selphie Tilmett, why do you want to stay on this show?
Selphie: Well, I didn't know my friends were going to be here, but I was hoping to meet new friends and just to have a new experience living with other people! I love meeting people!
"WSM": But your roommates aren't new people. They're friends from school, right?
Selphie: Yea, but I am still looking forward to having fun!
"WSM": What do you have to offer to the show?
Selphie: Me! ^_^ I think a lot of the people on the show are too gloomy and depressed and they aren't happy enough! I love being happy and I love making other people happy too.
"WSM": Do you have any talents?
Selphie: Well, I like making doormats....
"WSM": Hmm....Ok! You can wait outside now! Thanks for answering our questions! ^_^
Selphie: All right!
~~
The next hotel room held Moomba as Dio again and Cait Sith as the Event Square Manager.
"ESM": Mr. Kinneas, why would you like to stay on this show?
Irvine: Hmm....I want to meet new people, preferably of the other gender, if ya know what I mean.
"ESM": Aha. How did you get in trouble?
Irvine: Don't you know? You were there!
"ESM": Eh, well, we have to have it stated for Mr. Dio. Unfortunately, he wasn't there to see it.
Irvine: Well, I didn't participate in the play, but you can't blame me! They would have made me dress up like a Mog and kiss one!
"ESM": YOU DON'T LIKE MOGS???
Irvine: Not to kiss, no. Why? Do YOU like them?
"ESM": No, of course not. Anyways, How do you like your roommate(s)?
Irvine: They're awesome, but I would have preferred someone else in the house. Three guys in one room isn't exactly much fun except when we invite the girls over! ^_^
"ESM": Ok, thanks for answering our questions! Please wait outside now, Irvine.
~~
The next hotel room had Moomba-in-disguise and Barrett as the Speed Square Manager.
"SSM": Ok, Zell Dincht. Why do you want to stay on da show?
Zell: Well, I kinda want to get away from school, with all those exams, you know.
"SSM": Sure. What are your hobbies?
Zell: Boxing! Any free time I have, I box! I have a punching bag in my room at home and I want to be the best fighter ever! Do you like boxing?
"SSM": Yea. It's awesome. Anyways, who is your favorite roommate, girl or guy?
Zell: I don't know. They're all my friends, except maybe Seifer. He's always teasing and one day it's gonna come back at him! That's why I'm training!
Zell starts practicing boxing moves in the air.
"SSM": Don't give up kid. Thanks for answering da questions. You can wait outside now.
~~
The next hotel room was Moomba, yeah the same one from before, and Cid as the Chocobo Square Manager.
"CSM": ::whispers:: Is this the big troublemaker?
"Dio": ::whispers:: I guess you could say that.
"CSM": Ahem. So, why do you wanna stay on the damn show?
Seifer: I just felt like it. I kinda wish Puberty Boy and Chicken-Wuss weren't here. I don't know why the director picked them. I can understand why she picked me though!
"Dio": ^_^ I'm sure Pu....I mean, Squall and Zell aren't that bad! ^_^
Seifer: You try living with them.
"Dio": I do.
Seifer: Excuse me?
"Dio": ....Bless you. Didn't you sneeze?
Seifer: -_-;; No.
"Dio": Oh. Never mind then.
"CSM": Dammit Seifer, your interview is with me, not with Moo....Dio! So, I'd appreciate if you stay on topic.
Seifer: ::glares:: Ok. What's your next question?
"CSM": What's your biggest pet peeve?
Seifer: Squall.
"CSM": I didn't mean a person, son.
Seifer: Squall isn't a person. He's a chicken. Just like Zell.
"CSM": I don't hear any chicken caws or see any bird crap.
Seifer: He wants to hide it. That's why he never talks or he might accidentally caw.
"CSM": ....Right. Don't try messing with me.
Seifer: Now why would I want to do that?
"CSM": Ok! We're done!
Seifer leaves.
"Dio": Don't worry! ^_^ He brings life to the show!
~~
The next hotel room had Moomba, the one and only, and Cloud as the Battle Square Manager.
"BSM": Hmm. Miss Rinoa Heartilly.
Rinoa: Yes?
"BSM": Nothing. So, what makes you want to stay on the show?
Rinoa: I think I'm a good person with a good personality! And that's what you guys want, so it's a perfect match! ^_^
"BSM": May I ask how you got in trouble?
Rinoa: But you already know.
"BSM": Yes. But Mr. Dio needs to hear it!
Rinoa: Ok. I was just doing my job, when there was this guy named Cloud fighting in the arena. I was congratulating him when he told me I couldn't beat him because I was a girl! Can you believe that?
"BSM": Ah....
Rinoa: Well, anyways, needless to say, I kicked his butt so hard he reached the moon (hehe) and you can't blame me! HE was being sexist and I HAD to take him down!
"BSM": Yeah, well maybe you were using your looks to make him lose! Cloud is an awesome fighter!!
Rinoa: Yeah he is, but he shouldn't have been arrogant and mean to me.
"BSM": Oh....Well, I'm sure you'll hear an apology from him soon....Last question: How do you feel about having your boyfriend with you on the show!
Rinoa: Great!!! ^_^
"BSM": Ok. You can wait outside now.
~~
In the next room was yours truly, Moomba and Tifa as the Round Square Manager.
"RSM": Hello Quistis Trepe!
Quistis: Hi! ^_^
"RSM": Ahem, so! Why do you want to be on the show?
Quistis: ::sighs:: I don't know. School and the students are getting pretty stressful. I guess I just wanted a new experience and get away from it all.
"RSM": Yeah. School can be pretty tiring. So, what do you think about your job?
Quistis: It's nice! I just wish that the rules weren't so strict and that there was more freedom.
"RSM": Oh yeah. But we can't have you doing what you did Quistis! If we let you do that all the time, we could get in serious trouble. This is a family park!
Quistis: Yea. I'm sorry. It won't happen again!
"RSM": ^_^ Ahem, well what do you like best about your experience so far?
Quistis: Being with my friends. At least we got in trouble together....
"RSM": Ok! Thanks Miss Trepe!
~~
In the next hotel room was, for the last time, Moomba and Red XIII as the Ghost Square Manager.
"GSM": ::whispers:: It's fun walking on two legs! I'm so high up from the ground! Whee!
"Dio": ::whispers:: Just start the interview before he noticed something weird is going on! He's a smart one, this one.
"GSM": Ok, Mister Squall Leonhart?
Squall: Yeah?
"GSM": Why do you want to stay on the show?
Squall: I have nothing better to do.
"GSM": Really?
Squall: Actually, I do. But my girlfriend led me into this "trap".
"GSM": Oook....Well, how do you feel being on the show with your girlfriend?
Squall: Normal.
"GSM": What do think about Seifer?
Squall: I DON'T think anything of him.
"GSM": Why not? Has there been something in the past between you two that will make the show interesting?
Squall: There's going to be something interesting between US two if you stop asking questions....I just don't like Seifer....
"GSM": I hope you can let out your feelings more openly to a camera, because there will be confessionals soon and if you don't do them, you may get kicked off.
Squall: Whatever....
~~
Outside, back in lobby of the hotel....
"Dio": Ok, now that we are done interviewing y'all, we can announce who will stay ON the show and who WON'T. Hehe. Suspenseful, huh?
Everyone: ....
"Dio": Ok, but first let me just snap my fingers!
SNAP!
"Dio" and the "Managers" turned back to their regular old selves: Moomba and the FF7ers.
FF8ers: WHAT?!?
Seifer: It was you guys all along?
Quistis: I can't believe I've been tricked!
Selphie: Hey! I saw you at the Wonder Square!
Zell: We're not in trouble?
Irvine: Hmm....More ladies....
Rinoa: Cloud?? It was you all along??
Squall: Moomba?
Moomba: Yup! We got rid of the real Dio and his Managers! So, we decided to just disguise ourselves as them to make sure you guys really wanted to stay on the show! And you all can!
Squall: Didn't work....
Cloud: Yeah, and Moomba and I really talked down to Dio!
FF8ers: Good job guys! Thanks for getting us out of trouble!
Moomba: Thanks to all of you for your reviews so far! And your ideas! There are still some ideas I haven't used ALL of your ideas but I will! ^_^ I hope there wasn't any character bashing in this because I never meant to have any. And I tried to have a few more fights, or at least conflict, like me latest reviewer wanted! Well, I hope none of you hate me for not having Aeris or Vincent as part of the cameos, but it is only because Aeris is dead, and I don't plan to have her be a cameo anyway, and I only needed seven FF7ers and I thought Vincent would be the least willing to come and help. But he is still one of my favorites and will come later on! Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter and please include any ideas you may want to see later. Oh yeah, and how would you like to see the confessionals done? I can't do it in italics because it won't show, so how would you like to see them? In parenthesis? In colons? Just tell me how it would be the least confusing! R & R! Hope to write again soon!! Moomba
Disclaimer: Although I may be similar to Square....Ahem....SquareEnix, in that I delay things for very long periods of time, ::cough:: ::FFXI:: ::cough:: I am still in no way a part of them, therefore I claim to own not a single gil of any of their games! Has it sunk in yet??

Rinoa: Ok. I was just doing my job, when there was this guy named Cloud fighting in the arena. I was congratulating him when he told me I couldn't beat him because I was a girl! Can you believe that?
"BSM": Ah....
Rinoa: Well, anyways, needless to say, I kicked his butt so hard he reached the moon (hehe) and you can't blame me! HE was being sexist and I HAD to take him down!
"BSM": Yeah, well maybe you were using your looks to make him lose! Cloud is an awesome fighter!!
Rinoa: Yeah he is, but he shouldn't have been arrogant and mean to me.
"BSM": Oh....Well, I'm sure you'll hear an apology from him soon....Last question: How do you feel about having your boyfriend with you on the show!
Rinoa: Great!!! ^_^
"BSM": Ok. You can wait outside now.

In the next room was yours truly, Moomba and Tifa as the Round Square Manager.
"RSM": Hello Quistis Trepe!
Quistis: Hi! ^_^
"RSM": Ahem, so! Why do you want to be on the show?
Quistis: ::sighs:: I don't know. School and the students are getting pretty stressful. I guess I just wanted a new experience and get away from it all.
"RSM": Yeah. School can be pretty tiring. So, what do you think about your job?
Quistis: It's nice! I just wish that the rules weren't so strict and that there was more freedom.
"RSM": Oh yeah. But we can't have you doing what you did Quistis! If we let you do that all the time, we could get in serious trouble. This is a family park!
Quistis: Yea. I'm sorry. It won't happen again!
"RSM": ^_^ Ahem, well what do you like best about your experience so far?
Quistis: Being with my friends. At least we got in trouble together....
"RSM": Ok! Thanks Miss Trepe!

In the next hotel room was, for the last time, Moomba and Red XIII as the Ghost Square Manager.
"GSM": ::whispers:: It's fun walking on two legs! I'm so high up from the ground! Whee!
"Dio": ::whispers:: Just start the interview before he noticed something weird is going on! He's a smart one, this one.
"GSM": Ok, Mister Squall Leonhart?
Squall: Yeah?
"GSM": Why do you want to stay on the show?
Squall: I have nothing better to do.
"GSM": Really?
Squall: Actually, I do. But my girlfriend led me into this "trap".
"GSM": Oook....Well, how do you feel being on the show with your girlfriend?
Squall: Normal.
"GSM": What do think about Seifer?
Squall: I DON'T think anything of him.
"GSM": Why not? Has there been something in the past between you two that will make the show interesting?
Squall: There's going to be something interesting between US two if you stop asking questions....I just don't like Seifer....
"GSM": I hope you can let out your feelings more openly to a camera, because there will be confessionals soon and if you don't do them, you may get kicked off.
Squall: Whatever....
~~
Outside, back in lobby of the hotel....
"Dio": Ok, now that we are done interviewing y'all, we can announce who will stay ON the show and who WON'T. Hehe. Suspenseful, huh?
Everyone: ....
"Dio": Ok, but first let me just snap my fingers!
SNAP!
"Dio" and the "Managers" turned back to their regular old selves: Moomba and the FF7ers.
FF8ers: WHAT?!?
Seifer: It was you guys all along?
Quistis: I can't believe I've been tricked!
Selphie: Hey! I saw you at the Wonder Square!
Zell: We're not in trouble?
Irvine: Hmm....More ladies....
Rinoa: Cloud?? It was you all along??
Squall: Moomba?
Moomba: Yup! We got rid of the real Dio and his Managers! So, we decided to just disguise ourselves as them to make sure you guys really wanted to stay on the show! And you all can!
Squall: Didn't work....
Cloud: Yeah, and Moomba and I really talked down to Dio!
FF8ers: Good job guys! Thanks for getting us out of trouble!
Moomba: Thanks to all of you for your reviews so far! And your ideas! There are still some ideas I haven't used ALL of your ideas but I will! ^_^ I hope there wasn't any character bashing in this because I never meant to have any. And I tried to have a few more fights, or at least conflict, like me latest reviewer wanted! Well, I hope none of you hate me for not having Aeris or Vincent as part of the cameos, but it is only because Aeris is dead, and I don't plan to have her be a cameo anyway, and I only needed seven FF7ers and I thought Vincent would be the least willing to come and help. But he is still one of my favorites and will come later on! Anyways, I hope you guys liked this chapter and please include any ideas you may want to see later. Oh yeah, and how would you like to see the confessionals done? I can't do it in italics because it won't show, so how would you like to see them? In parenthesis? In colons? Just tell me how it would be the least confusing! R & R! Hope to write again soon!! Moomba
