*BACKSTAGE*













Verie: Well.. .we were supposed to do the Lion King.. but currently, I do not have custody of the T.V to WATCH the Lion King... so we're doing Final Fantasy VIII!
Narrator: .. does that even have a prince...?
Verie: ... Prince, Sorceress' Knight.. same difference.
Shinigami: THAT MAKES NO SENSE NO DA!
Others: Eh?
Verie: She hates it when people say that ^_^
Shinigami: -.-; da.
Brad: ... so.. what the HELL is Final Fantasy VIII?
Verie: Well... the way I'm seeing it... you're going to Squall, obviously. Squall's an angry and vengeful psychopath with a sword/gun combo thingie called a gunblade. He's... creepy. And he has a two word vocabulary, "whatever" and "...." even though "..." isn't a word. But oh well.
Everyone: ~glances at Aya~
Aya: ....
Others: O.o; ~twitch~
Verie: .. umm.. jah. Brad's going to be Squall, because if I cast Aya as Squall, Brad would have to be Seifer... and I'm making Schu Seifer.
Schu: ... who's Seifer?
Verie: He's Squall's rival. .. Seifer's kind of an idiot, but we all love him anyway. He has extremely bad grammar, and an anger management problem. Also, Squall is obsessed with Rinoa, and Rinoa used to be Seifer's girlfriend, infact, she never really broke up with him when she started going out with Squall, so we can all understand why Seifer's a bit pissed off.
Schu: .. so.. what do I do?
Verie: I'll get back to that. Umm.. Yohji is going to be Irvine.
Yohji: Ne?
Verie: Yohji is Irvine because Irvine is.. basically exactly like Yohji. Except with a shot gun. ... Which is kind of disturbing. But OH WELL. So.. moving on... um.. Farf's going to be Fujin... because they look exactly alike and that entertains me.
Others: ~disturbed that there's a Farf look alike~
Verie: ^_^ Squee. Fuj is great. She's got this funky speech thing going on where she only says one word sentences.... Such as "RAGE!" .. which is what she says before she kicks people ^_^
Farf: .. does she hurt God?
Verie: .. sure. Why not.
Farf: ^_^
Verie: and um.. that's.. all I've got so far. ^_^;
Others: ~blink~
Verie: anyhow.. let's start! ^_^




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

~*Disc 1*~

Because this is loosely based on a video game... Verie has instructed me to include the opening FMV... because apparently, that's a key part of the plot. .. I frankly don't understand it at all, but Verie assures us that you're not supposed to understand it until the end of the game. Which she has never gotten to, so how she knows this we may never know.

Anyhow, so Ominoa... what the heck? ... Erm.. right.. Ominoa... was standing out in a field. And then there was some wind. Ooh.. wind! Flower petals! WEE. So the wind blew Ominoa's hair for a little bit, looking overly dramatic and stuff. And then Ominoa grabs a flower petal. ... I said, Ominoa grabs a flower petal.

"I'm trying!!! The wind keeps blowing them away!!!" Ominoa exclaimed, chasing after the flower petals like an idiot. Oy vey. So Verie ran on-stage, and handed Ominoa a flower petal. There. So, Ominoa closed his/her hand, and then opened it again. AMAZING! The flower petal magically turned into a FEATHER. GASP. "Would you just shut up already?" Verie asked irritably. But why? This is stupid. "Leave FF8 alone... sure, it makes no sense, but do we really care? NO." Verie said, so we moved on.

Anyhow, then, a strange glowstick/gun thing flies onscreen, in a convenient scene transition! WOW. So now we see...Prince Crawford. Because his script name is stupid. "Shi-ne, Verie." Brad mumbled. ".. What, it's not *MY* fault Brad and Squall just.. sounds really stupid when you combine them. So.. jah. You can be Brad Leonhart for this chapter..." Verie nodded. "... Leonhart...?" Brad arched an eyebrow. ".. Jah, that's his last name. Unless you want me to change it to Crawfishhart or something, but that would screw up a lot of symbolism and crap." Verie said. ".. Shi-ne." Brad mumbled again. Anyhow, back to the script... So Brad and Scheifer... .. o... kaaay.... "Just.. leave the names alone." Verie sighed. Right. Ok, so Brad and Scheifer had these strange glowstick/gun combination things... peachy. So then they started fighting. OOH. SPARKS. FUN. ... Schuldich, get up. You're not supposed to lose.

"HA! I TOLD you Brad. But did you listen? Noooo!" Scheifer ranted. "I don't care about the script, I'm not going to lose a fight to.. ... 'Scheifer'.... ... right..." Brad said. "Censored Brad, follow the script or I'll dramatically alter it so that Squall falls in love with Selphie." Verie glared. "... Who?" Brad asked. "The girl I have Tot cast as." Verie said. Brad paled. "Yeah, that's what I thought. So Schu, get up, Brad get on the ground, so we can get the FMV thing over with...." Verie said, and walked off. So Brad and Scheifer changed places, and then there was this spiffy flash coming from Scheifer's hand, and we magically skip forward because the special effects for magic are expensive. WEEEEE!

So now Brad's in the hospital. ".. I am?" Brad asked, looking around him. Yes, apparently, you are. And then Verie ran onstage with a marker and made a quick diagonal line starting on Brad's forehead and going to the top of the bridge of his nose. ".. What the...?!" Brad exclaimed, glaring at Verie. "You see, Squall has this nice little scar on his forehead from that previous battle... but we don't have any money, so we had to skip that part. But don't worry, because Scheifer has one too. you've got matching scars! Heehee.." Verie snickered. ".. I hate you. And I hate Squaresoft for making this game and thus encouraging your idiocy." Brad glared. "Yeah yeah... wipe off that marker and I'll have to make it permanent, and none of us want that." Verie said, and walked off. ".. Argh..." Brad mumbled. Then, some random girl played by Aya-chan walked in! "So, we meet again." She said. "Who the censored are you?" Brad asked. So Ayallone walked off. "... ... Um.. riiiight...." Brad blinked.

Then, Dr. Shinigami walked in!

"... What the....?" Brad blinked. "Yeah, apparently I'm cast as the doctor, no da." Shinigami said. "... I'm scared..." Brad twitched. "Actually, I don't do anything no da. Bye. .. Da." Shinigami walked out. "... ... That was... pointless..." Brad blinked. Just then, Ayastis walked in! .... These names just get stupider and stupider... argh. Anyhow, yes, it's Ayastis!

".. Shi-ne, Verie." Ayastis mumbled. "Are you... wearing.. a skirt?" Brad twitched. "... Shi-ne. SHI-NE!!!" Ayastis twitched. "... .... I've officially been SCARRED FOR LIFE." Brad glared offstage. "Oh come on... Quistis is one of the very few video game women who actually wears a skirt that goes past her knees, so be thankful." Verie grumbled. "And Aya! SAY YOUR LINES!" Verie yelled. "... Blah blah blah... stuff.... I'm your instructor blah blah blah... shi-ne Verie, you still have to go to the fire cavern to do stuff. Meet me.. somewhere else." Ayastis walked away. "... ... Dang you, Aya." Verie mumbled. So anyhow, there was a scene transition, and Brad appeared in class! At Garden, which is the CLEVER name of the school he's at right now. ".. Great.. so I'm in school... peeeaaachy..." Brad mumbled. "Blah blah blah...." Ayastis ranted. "And Scheifer, no hurting your partner during training sessions!" Ayastis added, giving us an excuse to see Scheifer at the back of the class bang his fist on his desk. "And Brad, I need to see you after class." Ayastis said. ".. Erm... I think Brad's asleep." Scheifer blinked, and it was indeed so. Brad was infact asleep. "... Shi-ne." Ayastis mumbled. "Class over, blah blah blah!" Ayastis said, and ran out before he/she could be assigned any more lines. Scheifer kicked Brad awake, and walked off. "Censored Schu..." Brad mumbled, walking out of class.

"I'm late! I'm late! For a very important date! No time to say hello, goodbye! I'M LATE I'M LATE I'M LATE!!!!"
Sudenly, Totophie (good censored... just when I though the names couldn't get any worse...) ran into him, knocking them both down!

"AAAAAH!! TOT!!!!" Brad screamed, attempting to get away from Tot. "HI! I'M TOTOPHIE! I'M NEW HERE! I'M SORRY FOR BUMPING INTO YOU! BLAH BLAH BLAH! BABBLE BABBLE BABBLE! CAN YOU SHOW ME AROUND?!" Totophie babbled. Brad was no presented with a choice, yes, or no.

"DEAR CENSORED!! CENSORED NO!!!!! AWAY!! AWAY DEMON CHILD!!!" Brad yelled, running to the elevator and desperately pressing the button for the first floor, successfully leaving Totophie stranded on the second floor. HUZZAH.

So then Brad decided to go to the cafeteria, because apparently there is a scene Verie wants to write in here that takes place here. It entertains her, apparently. So Brad walked into the cafeteria, and who did he meet but Farfjin, Naijin and Scheifer!

"SCHEIFER. DRINK?" Farfjin asked Scheifer. "....." Scheifer said, even thought that's not saying anything. ".. Can I drink some- . what the censored... ... This character talks like Schu!" Naijin whined. "Just read the script." Verie mumbled from offstage. "... ..Can I drink somethin'? I'd like some water... ya.. .know..." Naijin twitched. "IGNORE." Farfjin said, entirely happy with his part. "...." Scheifer sat there. Brad blinked and tried to talk to Farfjin. "WHAT?" Farfjin replied, obviously much to into this. Brad decided to talk to Scheifer. "... Brad, can't you see the disciplinary committee's busy? Don't bother us." Scheifer said. ".. The.. what?" Brad blinked. "Yeah, this is great! Apparently, I'm not only a badguy, but also the official knark in this school! I get to go around arresting kids! HOW SWEET IS THAT?!" Scheifer exclaimed happily. "... ... I'm fearful." Brad twitched. "I mean... eesh! How stupid can this principal guy BE?!" Scheifer ranted. "Ok, you can shut up now, Schu. I'm disturbed enough already." Brad said, deciding to talk to Naijin. Naijin glanced at his script and twitched some more. "Yo.. it's Brad... Oh.. yeah.. Farfjin's gonna treat, you know? Want somethin'?" Nagi twitched, cursing Verie for casting him as this character. "RAGE!" Farfjin exclaimed, kicking Naijin. "OW! CENSORED!! WHY DO I HAVE TO BE THIS CHARACTER?!!!" Naijin exclaimed, glaring at Farfjin, who looked incredibly pleased with him/herself. "Just read the script, Nags. It'll all be over soon.. ... maybe." Verie said. Naijin twitched. "Blah blah blah horrible grammar watch out for Farfjin because she's a CENSORED ya know?" Naijin glared at Farfjin. "... Congratulations, Nags, you just completely ruined Raijin." Verie sighed. Naijin looked pleased with himself. "WHAT?" Farfjin demanded. ".. Eh.. NOTHING!" Naijin exclaimed, not wanting to get kicked again.

Then, Kell conveniently ran in! ... Kell? ... Er.. right. Ken, but now KELL. Argh...

"Do you have... any hotdogs left?" He panted to the cafeteria lady, Shinigami. ".. Why am I getting cast as all the bit parts, no da?! Erm... you're a bit late, no da. We're all sold out, no da." Shinigami said. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! NOT AGAIN!!!" Kell whined. Everyone blinked, and realized that was actually in the script, and blinked again. "... Now I have to debate which character is stupider... mine, or his." Naijin blinked. So Kell walked out, his part being over.

"... Speeding. Let's go arrest that student for violation of academy regulations!! MWAHA! .. I love this role." Scheifer exclaimed, running out. "AFFIRMATIVE." Farfjin said, following. ".. Roger.. ya know..." Naijin twitched, walking off. "... ... Ok.. that's it. This is even worse than the Swan Princess." Brad grumbled, leaving the cafeteria and walking to the front gate, where Ayastis was waiting for him.

"... You got a new skirt." Brad blinked. ".. Shi-ne." Ayastis glared. "Anyhow... we have to go to the fire cavern because you're an idiot, and you didn't do that BEFORE." Ayastis said. "Oh shut up." Brad mumbled. So they went to the fire cavern! Where they met some people with plates over their faces. STRAW plates! ... ... ... Squaresoft is on crack.... seriously.. plates...

"... I'm scared." Brad twitched. "Blah blah, select a time, no da." Shinigami mumbled, taking the plate off her face. "THAT'S IT, VERIE NO DA! I REFUSE TO WEAR A PLATE OVER MY FACE NO DA!" Shinigami exclaimed irritably. "Fine, fine. But that's the style of the psychotic staff!" Verie whined. "I don't care, no da!!!" Shinigami exclaimed. "Fine, fine." Verie sighed. "... Erm.. whatever." Brad blinked, and just walked into the cavern without selecting a time.
"YOU DIDN'T CHOOSE A TIME LIMIT NO DAAAAAA!!!" Shinigami exclaimed, but Brad and Ayastis were already in the cavern.

They came to the end of the cavern, where they saw.. absolutely nothing. Verie, where's the giant monster? ".. Erm.. you see... I don't have an Final Fantasy plushies or any merchandise other than some playing cards...so I thought we could have the guardian forces represented by little colored paperclips! See, red could be Ifrit and light blue could be Shiva and yellow could be Quezacotl.. and purple could be Bahamut! And green could be Tonberry and.. JAH!" Verie sweatdropped. ... This is the worst funded project I have EVER worked on.... oy vey...

".. Wait... I'm fighting a... colored paperclip..." Brad blinked. ".. Actually, I just realized I don't HAVE any colored paperclips!" Verie sweatdropped. Everyone face faulted. "... Hold on, I'll get my decks of cards and see if I have an Ifrit card... If not, I can print out a screenshot of him, and then you can fight that!" Verie exclaimed happily. So she ran off, and then came back with her cards. "EUREKA! IFRIT CARD!" She exclaimed happily. "... Whatever." Brad mumbled. So then, Brad and Ayastis beat up Verie's Ifrit card. Bwee. Ayastis had a... whip... which is disturbing, so moving on, and Brad had his amazing glow stick/gun combo thingie. Bweee. So they beat Ifrit, and got him as a guardian force. Woo. They also have Shiva and Quezacotl, because you get them at the beginning of the game. Wee.

So Brad went back to Garden.... where he had to do a field exam! Which meant that he had to be put into a team! GASP.

"... Hello, I'm Headmaster Shinigami no da... I'm being stuck playing the entire staff of this school, because Verie's afraid she'll run out of characters no da. I'm going to split you up into a group, because that's what the script says no da. So, since this character is apparently stupid no da, I'm making you Squad C, and your group will be comprised of Kell, Brad and Scheifer... no da." Shinigami blinked. Ayastis sat there. Farfjin and Naijin walked off. "Ok, here's a ground rule: we're a team, and by team, they mean, stay out of my way! MWAHAHAHAHA!!" Scheifer exclaimed. "... You're a complete nutcase." Brad mumbled, while Kell did some backflips and stuff. And then punched the floor. ".. Clever one, chicken-wuss." Scheifer said to Kell. "What did you call me?!!" Kell demanded. Scheifer pointed to some notes on his script. "See? It says I have to take every given opportunity to call you a chicken-wuss, chicken-wuss." Scheifer smirked. "... I hate this..." Kell mumbled, punching the floor again. "OW! .. Censored, that HURTS." Kell whined, glaring at his script, which told him he had to do that often. ".. Yeah, you're a chicken-wuss." Scheifer said, walking off. Everyone followed, because he's Scheifer. And if they don't, he'll probably arrest them. Weeeeeee!

So, then they got on this boat, and went to a place called Dollet, where there's currently a war going on. "Blah blah blah.... insert instructions here.... blah blah blah." Ayastis said. "... You're really not helping us any." Brad mumbled. "I had no intention too. Because I'm hoping to be recast." Ayastis stated. "Fat chance, Aya." Verie said, examining her list of characters. "Shi-ne, Verie. Anyhow.. yes. According to the script you're not going to listen to me anyway. So... shi-ne." Ayastis said, walking off.

"... That's great. That's just great." Brad mumbled. Meanwhile, Kell was "shadow-boxing", which is basically pretending to box with an imaginary opponent. "What's up, chicken-wuss? Swatting flies?" Scheifer snickered. "CENSORED CENSORED! DON'T CALL ME THAT!!" Kell exclaimed, tackling Scheifer and trying to choke him. "HEY! GET OFF OF ME! THAT WAS PART OF THE SCRIPT!!" Scheifer exclaimed, kicking Kell until he gave up on choking him. ".. I hate this." Kell mumbled. "Don't choke me for following the script... chicken-wuss." Scheifer said happily. ".... One more time, Schuld- .. Scheifer.. and I will kill you." Kell glared. "Really, chicken-wuss?" Scheifer snickered. "ARGH!" Kell exclaimed, banging his head on the table. "... Leave the table alone. Or at least be in character and punch it." Brad said. ".... Shi-ne, Brad. Shi-ne." Kell grumbled.

Then, they landed at Dollet. "Ok, Squad A, do stuff, you don't matter anyway! Squad B, do stuff. You don't really matter either. And Squad C, you go over and do what I told you to do a little while ago." Ayastis said. ".. Which was nothing." Brad stated. "Exactly." Ayastis said. Squad C walked into the town and found a fountain to sit by. "... This is boring..." Scheifer whined. "Yeah, when do we get to do something?!" Kell exclaimed. Brad just sat there. Then, a really annoying dog walked up to Scheifer and started barking. "... Dude.. that's just.. uncool. Uncool, man." Scheifer said, glaring at the dog. Which didn't go away. "... Guys.. this dog is creeping me out..." Scheifer whimpered, backing away from it. It followed him. "Ok, THAT'S IT!!" Scheifer exclaimed, waving his newly titled Glowblade (yes, they glowstick/gun combos are now glowblades! .... Argh.. this is lame...) at the dog. The dog ran around in a circle, and came back and started barking at Scheifer again. "... That's it. Let's all go away. This dog scares me." Scheifer said. "Hey, Brad. Since I'm squad leader.. that means I get to boss YOU around for once!!" Scheifer exclaimed, "so.. dance! MWUAHAHAHAHA!!" Scheifer exclaimed. Brad death glared him. "You are so dead when we get out of this." He glared. Scheifer pouted. "C'mooon! Humor me here, Brad!!" Scheifer whined. "I will humor you by not killing you right here." Brad glared. Scheifer pouted some more. "Veeeriieee.. he's not listening to my ordeeeers..." He whined. "I don't blame him. Now just.. move on with the plot. Which has been completely screwed up but we'll ignore that for now." Verie sighed. Suddenly, a bunch of evil Galbadian soldiers were walking by, not noticing Brad, Scheifer and Kell because they were hiding behind a fountain. "I'm assuming that's the enemy." Brad mumbled. ".. Wow. You actually said something that's semi in the script! I'm proud, Braddie." Scheifer said. "Shut the censored up." Brad glared. So then the camera conveniently panned to a comm tower! "Hey look. A comm tower." Scheifer stated. "No censored." Brad rolled his eyes. "Let's go!" Scheifer exclaimed. ".. But that's against our non-existant orders." Kell stated. "I just want to get this over with, and the camera wouldn't have conveniently panned to the comm tower if it weren't of some form of importance to the plot, which we must further before I go crazy because this coat is fuzzy and it's scaring me." Brad twitched, because Squall wears a FUZZY COAT. .. Erm.. jah. "Which means Brad wants to go wreak havoc with me, as opposed to listening to a chicken-wuss." Scheifer stated. "If you call me that one more time...." Kell twitched. And so our team headed out! Onwards! "Oh just SHUT UP." Verie grumbled. Fine, be that way. Just trying to add some drama, but noooo....

Then they came to a soldier. "Great.. now I get to a be a soldier, no da?" Shinigami muttered. "Apparently." Brad blinked. Shinigami flipped through her script. "Let's see... badguys headed for comm tower, which is where you're going.. monsters, oh look, I'm being attacked by a monster, bye." Shinigami got up and walked away. "Monsters, ne?" Brad blinked. "That sucks." Kell mumbled. "More fun for us! Because I'm a badguy with no sense! MWUAHAHAHAHA!! ADD BRAD TO THE LIST!!" Scheifer snapped his fingers like a lunatic. "... I'm not even going to ask." Brad sighed, moving on.

So then our three.... .. I'm not entirely certain what they are, but they entered the comm tower. "Mwaha. I love battles. I fear nothing! They way I look at it, as long as you get out alive, you're one step closer to fulfilling your dream!" Scheifer exclaimed. "... What the censored?" Brad blinked. "You have a dream too, don't you? Because otherwise, why aren't I the main character? Because I mean.. this character is way cooler than your character. Seriously." Scheifer stated. "You people are neglecting me." Kell said. ".. Who cares?" Scheifer blinked. "... Censored you." Kell mumbled.

"There you are! TEE-HEE!" Totophie exclaimed, tripping over some rocks and landing at Brad's feet. "GAH! YOU!!!" He screamed, hiding behind Scheifer. "You know, Brad... I'm not your human shield. SO DON'T USE ME AS ONE." Scheifer exclaimed, moving away. "Are you.. Squad C?" Totophie asked. "... If I say 'no', will you go away?" Brad looked hopeful. "No, because the script says you ARE Squad C." Totophie replied. "Censored. I'm Totophie, from Squad A! I'm here to give the Squad Leader a message." Totophie nodded. Everyone looked around, and noticed Scheifer was gone. So the looked down, and saw he was below the cliff thingies they were on. "Someday, I'll tell ya about my ROMANTIC dream!" Scheifer exclaimed, running off. "... That's it. I'm scarred for life. I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY, SCHULDICH!!!" Brad yelled. "Great... he just had to conveniently run off before I could deliver the message!" Totophie whined, jumping off the cliff to follow him. "Dude.. Brad.. you're not gonna jump, are ya?? I mean.. it's CLIFF man." Kell whimpered. "Oh shut up. I want to get this over with." Brad mumbled, pushing Kell off the cliff, and jumping after him. "DAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" Kell exclaimed.

Anyhow, so, back with Scheifer. "DAAAA!!" Shinigami exclaimed, playing yet ANOTHER miscellaneous soldier. "MWAHA! COWARDS!!" Scheifer exclaimed. "Keep that glowstick thing away from me no da." Shinigami twitched, walking off again. So Scheifer walked off to do other stuff. "Heeey! The captain's getting awaaay!!" Totophie whined, chasing after him. "Why, praytell, do we EVEN CARE?!!! Argh... CENSORED SCHEIFER, COME BACK HERE!!! I WANT TO HURRY UP AND GET THIS OVER WITH!!!" Brad yelled, chasing after. So they all took the elevator. Because the tower was spiffy, and actually HAD an elevator. Woo. "WEE! ELEVATOR!!" Totophie exclaimed happily, bouncing up and down. Then she tripped and almost fell out, but luckily Brad grabbed her. "If you fall, I'll kill you. Because apparently your character is important, and so if you fall, we have to go back down and get you. And that will be wasting my time. Got that?" Brad glared. "... WEE! ELEVATOR!!" Totophie exclaimed. "... I hate you." Brad mumbled. So they got to the top of the tower. "WEE! The elevator ride is over! HEE!" Totophie exclaimed. ".. Must.. resist.. urge.. to push..." Brad twitched, dragging Totophie away from the elevator. "Hey look, a monster-shaped shadow. ... How could a shadow be monster-shaped?! THAT MAKES NO SENSE NO DA!!! Argh... Why do I have to play the bit parts, no da?!" Shinigami mumbled. "... Great. So we get to fight a colored paperclip, right?" Brad mumbled. "Oh look. It's people. I'm going to take this funky gun-like thing that shoots nerf balls and threaten you no da. Woo." Shinigami mumbled, holding a nerf gun. Then Scheifer magically jumped in and knocked the gun from Shinigami's hand. "Sorry to crash the party. ... Don't tell me that wasn't cool. That was COOL man! COOL!" Scheifer exclaimed. ".. You're crazy no da." Shinigami blinked. "Just shut up!! THAT WAS COOL! I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU PEOPLE SAY!!" Scheifer exclaimed. Suddenly, a gust of wind came and blew Shinigami away. ".. This is degrading no da." She mumbled.

"Wee!! Squad C captain! I have new orders!! All SeeD members and candidates are to report to withdraw at 1900 hours. Assemble at the shore!" Totophie exclaimed. "... WHY THE CENSORED DIDN'T YOU TELL US SOONER?!!! *WE* could have left, and then you could have gone and found that idiot, and everything would've been peachy." Brad twitched. "But.. there's still enemies around!" Scheifer glared at Totophie. ".. Don't kill me, I'm just the messenger." Totophie said. "An order to withdraw takes priority, because that means I can get the censored out of here." Brad stated. "So.. 1900 hours... according to the script.. that gives us 30 minutes." Scheifer said. ".. CENSORED YOU!! Both of you!!!" Brad exclaimed, glaring at both Totophie and Scheifer. "YOU!" He glared a Totophie, "Should have told US sooner!! So WE could have gotten out of here!!" Brad yelled, then turned on Scheifer. "And YOU! Because YOU had to be stupid and follow the script and run off like a MORON!!!!" Brad exclaimed. "Welp... better run!" Scheifer exclaimed, taking a run for it. "AND JUST WHERE THE CENSORED DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING!?!!" Kell and Brad yelled, chasing after him. "... Whatta 'bout MEEEE?!!!" Totophie whined, following.

Meanwhile....

"MWAHAHA NO DA!!! Get them! Fly my pretty, flyyyyyy!!" Shinigami exclaimed evilly. ".. Dude.. it's not a flying monkey, it's a remote control spider. Get it right." Verie said. "Fine, fine, leave me alone no da." Shinigami muttered, having the remote control spider chase Brad, Scheifer, Kell and Totophie.

Back with our... "heroes"...

"Is it just me, or are we being chased by a remote control spider?" Brad asked. "Looks that way to me." Scheifer replied. "That's what I thought." Brad said. ".. I'm assuming we're supposed to stop and battle it." Kell said. "We don't have time for that. Quite frankly, it'll probably run into that dog we saw and flip over." Brad nodded. "Because this is a poorly funded project, so it's only half a foot tall?" Scheifer asked. "Exactly." Brad replied, so they completely ignored the remote control spider and made it to the shore. So they got into the little boat and went all the way back to Balamb.

"SCHEIFER!" Farfjin exclaimed. "How'd it go?" Naijin asked. "Ne... they all got in my way. Bein' a leader ain't easy. I had to do ALL the work!" Scheifer said, walking off with Farfjin. ".. Yeah, like anyone believes that." Naijin mumbled, following.

"Well.. guess we'd better catch up. Stupid Scheifer'll probably drive off without us or somethin'." Kell blinked. So he and Brad followed Scheifer. Infact, they were just in time to watch him drive off like a lunatic. ".. Ok, that's it. I hate him." Kell twitched. "I'm gonna kill him. I want to get this over with, and he's following the stupid script!! WHAT THE CENSORED IS WRONG WITH HIM?!!!" Brad demanded. "Might as well walk it, ne?" Kell asked. "Censored no. I'm gonna sit here until there's a convenient scene transition and-"

Then Brad and Kell magically appeared back at the school. "Good call." Kell blinked. "Mwaha. I knew not cooperating would get me somewhere someday." Brad said. "Hee." Totophie said. "... Why, oh WHY did you have to be a main character?" Brad whined. "Well, let's walk around!" Kell exclaimed. Brad grabbed his collar. "YOU'RE not going anywhere. We have to go find Ayastis and figure out what we got on that stupid exam, so we can get this chapter OVER WITH." Brad mumbled. "TEE HEE!" Totophie exclaimed, about to run off when Brad grabbed her collar too. "Why do I have to play babysitter?!" He mumbled, dragging them off. Soon, the found Headmaster Shinigami and Ayastis!

"So, how was it like, no da?" Shinigami asked Brad. "... Whatever." Brad mumbled. "Whatever! That's great no da! Whatever!" Shinigami twitched, glaring at the script. Scheifer then ran in. "Hey Brad? Didja hear??? If it weren't for that withdraw order, we would've been heroes!" He exclaimed. "You were only looking for a fight." Ayastis said, deciding to read the script for once. "Instructor! I'm hurt! Those are crushing words for an aspiring student! Of course.. a mediocre instructor like you would never understand." Scheifer snickered. ".. shi-ne." Ayastis glared. "Anyhow.. Kell, you passed. " Shinigami anounced. "WOO!!!" Kell exclaimed, jumping in the air and running off. "Totophie passed as well." Shinigami said. "TEE HEE!" Totophie exclaimed. "THAT'S IT!! JUST NAME THEM ALL QUICKLY AND GET THIS OVER WITH!!" Brad yelled. "Fine, fine no da. Brad, you passed. And miscellaneous character number 23 passed. The rest of you failed. Ta, no da!" Shinigami said, walking off. "... Add Headmaster Shinigami to the list!" Scheifer exclaimed, snapping his fingers as Farfjin added Shinigami to the list. "You know.. according to the script, you're supposed to actually be nice for once and applaud politely. Thus making everyone else applaud politely too." Kell said. "Yeah.. but what're you gonna do, ne?" Scheifer said, walking off. "Anyhow, Brad, if you really want to further the plot, you'd better go get your uniform, and then we can all go to the PAAAAAAAH-TAAAAAY! HEE!" Totophie exclaimed, bouncing. "... Riiiight..." Brad sighed, walking to his dormitory and changing into his SeeD uniform. "YAY! Now let's go to the PAAAAAAAH-TAAAAAAAY!!!" Totophie exclaimed. ".. Say that one more time, and I'll rip your lungs out." Brad glared. "... You don't like to PAAAAAAH-TAAAAAY???" Totophie asked. Brad twitched. "I absolutely LOATHE you." He glared.

Anyhow, so Brad went to the party, and drank random miscellaneous alcohol in a wine glass. ([OFFSTAGE] Schuldich: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAMN YOU, VERIE!!! ~sob~)
Brad glanced offstage and rolled his eyes. Then, Ominoa walked up, holding her/his script and twitching slightly. "You're the best looking guy here..." He twitched some more, "dance with me?" He added, twitching. Brad glared at him. "Oh, let me guess, you only dance with people you like." Ominoa twitched again. "Ok then... look into my eyes." Ominoa said. Brad glared. Ominoa started swirling her finger in front of Brad's eyes. "You are going to like mee... you are going to like meeee... you are going to like meee... did it work?" Ominoa asked. "I hate you." Brad glared. "... Leave me alone. You're going to dance with me, because if you don't, I'll have to wear this dress for the rest of my life!!" Ominoa glared, grabbing Brad and leading him out to the dance floor. After a short dance that resulted in much pain for the misc. dancers around them, Brad managed to get away from Ominoa.

So then Brad ran into Ayastis. ".. I just can't go anywhere without running into cross dressers, can I?" He sighed. "Shi-ne. Meet me in the training center." Ayastis said, walking off. "... This is the screwiest chapter yet..." Brad mumbled, walking back to his dorm and changing into his "normal" clothes and walking to the training center. "Ah. Shi-ne. I'm not longer a teacher. Whine whine whine, blah blah blah." Ayastis said. ".. That's great. But I don't care." Brad grumbled. "Whine whine.. I'm not asking you to say anything, just listen." Ayastis said. "Then go talk to a wall. Eesh." Brad said, walking off. When suddenly, Ayallone appeared. "Oh help. Monster! Heeeelp!" She exclaimed. "Ayasti!" She cried, bouncing over to Ayastis. ".. Erm... hello.." Ayastis twitched. "It's not safe here." Some random bodyguard guy said to Ayallone. "Right. Byeee Ayasti!" She said, and ran off.

So then the next morning, Brad was woken up by Totophie pounding on his door. "You are NOT the first person I want to see in the morning." He glared. "We have a mission!!! We're going to Timber, tee-hee, meet by the front gate!!" Totophie exclaimed running off. Brad mentally cursed Verie for casting Tot as a main character. "Peachy. Just peachy." He mumbled, walking off...

Author Notes...

Verie: ^_^;; ah.. ha. Ok, so that's not all of Disc 1. I was planning on making each disc one chapter, but apparently, it's not going to go that way. -.-; Argh. Anyhow... this one was hard to write.. because I'm on Disc 4.. and I just got to disc 4.. and um... well, I have no idea how long I've been playing FF8, but look at it this way: the timer hit 99:59 a looooooooong time ago. ~mega sweatdrop~ so, as you can assume, I've forgotten most of discs 1 and 2. I actually had to start a new game to get the very beginning... but, then I found the uber-cool script for FF8 at about the time when they notice the comm tower. So wee. I now know what I'm doing! Be proud. However... those of you who haven't played FF8 are probaly confused as HELL, so I'll do my best to answer questions and stuff... Anyhow, as for the plot of FF8, basically... um.. ok, there's Ultimecia, who's the badguy (we haven't met her yet...). She's a sorceress, and she wants to achieve time compression by posessing all the previous sorceress'. So, she goes off and posessed Edea and Adel. Anyhow, she meets Seifer, whose "Romantic Dream" is to be a sorceress' knight. So she's currently posessing Edea at that time, so of course Seifer becomes her knight, because as it turns out he's the only one with enough memory to realize that Edea was their matron in the orphanage they all went to. (You see, with our heroes, their use of GFs of Guardian Forces just made them forget. Gee, convenient.) As for the GFs... they're these kind of magical beings who can protect you during battle, but they take up a small space in your mind, and so you forget stuff. So yes. Basically, we haven't gotten to the actual plot yet, because of sub plots. Including Squall's relationship with Quistis (.. which has pretty much been cut out because Aya's not cooperating -.-;), Squall's relationship with Rinoa, Irvine's inability to shoot people despite the fact he's a SNIPER, and a ton of other stuff! WEE. Then there's Selphie's relationship with Irvine... .. argh. Then there's Squall's DAD. And then there's Squall's Dad's ex-girlfriend/Rinoa's mother! ~twitching~ anyhow, it's all very complicated and I will try to explain it but as you can see I suck at explanations! ~mega sweatdrop~ Bear with me, please? I'll try to get this part done so we can move on to.. other stuff. Such as the Lion King. (I might wind up doing the Lion King or something in between two chapters of this, since this is obviously going to be loooong...)

And thanks to everyone who's reviewed!!! ^_^;;

Stuntcat: Mweehee. You may have Chibi-Brad clone back now ^_^ You wanted him back my New Years, jah? ... I wouldn't happen to be able to borrow him for Brad's flashback sequence somewhere around Disc 2 or 3, would I? ^_^;; It would help me save money since this is a low funded project and all. ^_~

Ryuke: Yes, he's out for blood. Hide me ;_;' .. Not that I blame him... ah.. ha. ... A month is kind of a long time, isn't it? ~sweatdrop~

Dibbity: Blame my English class. This started out as an assignment. .. Or blame Brad for having black hair and wearing white ~shrug~ either/or. Or you can just blame Miss Slayton, who keeps on giving me A's with the comment "Very Creative" whenever I stick Brad in my English stories. ~blinks slowly~ I have yet to understand that, but hey, I've never gotten less than 100% when he's in it. ... I got a C on the Ranma one that had to replace this one because this one's too long ;_;' Otherwise, I have no idea where this came from. I think J.B started it by pointing out that practically all the fairytale princes are the same person. ~shrug~

Oh, and um... there WILL be a late New Years chapter. I would have written one last night... ... but, I didn't for unknown reasons. (.. it's not like I ever do anything for New Years anyway ;_;' I just watched Jay Leno... ~sweatdrop~)
