Disclaimer: Squaresoft owns Final Fantasy but I own Kuro and Shiro!
Dark Angel: You are the only person who thinks Irvine is perfect except for me that I know of. Thanks for reviewing!!
*The Twins' Room*
Kuro: He's gonna be harder to get than I thought. Maybe we should step it up, ya think?
Shiro: Nah, it's just that other guy is gonna give us lots of trouble!
Kuro: Well, I'll have Akaling run a scan on him.
Shiro: Ok, well I'll map out the Training Area of this Garden. That's the only area I haven't done yet.
Kuro nodded and picked up the phone. She dialed one of the numbers in the phone book.
*In The Closet*
(All Whispers)
Quistis: Is everyone Ok?
Rinoa: No! Selphie, move your stinking foot!
Selphie: I can't! There's something under it and it's cold!
The three felt around and Rinoa's hand landed on it. She felt up and down the thing.
Rinoa: Guys, it's a gun.
Quistis: That's all right. I mean everyone has a weapon.
Selphie got up and felt around on the walls for a light switch. She found a string attached to the ceiling and pulled it.
Selphie: That did the trick! Now, what do we have here?
They all looked down what seemed to be a cavern. But this is a closet, thought Selphie. The walls were concrete and there was piping on the ceiling. It was wet and cold so it was getting uncomfy quick.
Quistis: Well, this certainly isn't normal.
Rinoa: Guys! Listen, they're talking again.
*The Twins*
Kuro: Hello? Yes, it's me. I need to speak with Akaling. It's important.
Shiro: HEY! I wanna talk to her too! Don't get off until I get to talk to her!
Kuro put her hand over the phone and stuck her tongue out at Shiro. Something made a loud crash in the back. The twins looked at each other and Kuro motioned Shiro to go check. Shiro got up and grabbed a throwing star from under her bed. She went into the back to check on things.
*The Cavern*
(Still Whispering)
Rinoa and Quistis: SELPHIE!! We told you not to touch anything!!
Selphie: I FOUND SOMETHING!
They had started down the tunnel and were still listening to the twins outside. They had heard the crash so they three had started to hurry. Evidently, Selphie had seen something that piqued her interest. They walked to where she was standing. They saw what looked like a big cabinet. Quistis took her sleeve and rubbed off the thin layer of dirt. Rinoa and Selphie peaked in while Quistis watched for a light at the way they had come. Luckily, they had found a flashlight at the entrance. Rinoa had turned the light off at the entrance so they wouldn't get suspicious.
Selphie: Wow! What I'd give to have those nunchucks!!
Rinoa: Look Selph. There's a gun like Irvine's.
Selphie: Do you hear that? It sounds like someone is coming. YIKES!!
Rinoa looked around for something to hide in but she couldn't find anything. Then she saw something sticking out from the wall beside the cabinet. It was two buttons. She pushed the blue one. The cabinet opened. She pushed the purple one and the tunnel started to move so she pushed it again to stop it.
Quistis: Wow, that took a long time to program I bet.
Rinoa motioned them inside the cabinet. They all got in and Quistis shone the light around. It was a weaponry closet. There were guns, nunchucks, whips, bows, arrows, crossbows, swords, but no gunblades. Rinoa smiled.
Selphie: LOOKY LOOKY!! I bet this is where the rifle goes.
Quistis: Wonderful captain obvious.
Rinoa was watching to see who was coming. It was Irvine and Squall!! How did they get down, here she thought. She looked for a way out of the closet but couldn't find one. She motioned Quistis and Selphie to look for a button or a key of some sort. They all couldn't find one. So, Selphie did the smartest thing yet. When Irvine and Squall were in plain sight, she beat on the door with all her might. They stopped dead in their tracks and Squall got out his gunblade. He walked around looking every which way. He saw the door and came up to it. He looked in and Rinoa came up to the glass. He screamed and stumbled back. He fell on his butt and stared at Rinoa. He got up, dusted himself off, sheathed his sword and felt around on the glass. She motioned beside him. She made a circle with her hands and he looked on the wall. It was pretty dark so he felt around. His hand landed on something and he pushed it. It was the purple button. The tunnel started to move so he pushed the blue button. The weapon door opened and Rinoa shut the tunnel off. Squall and Rinoa kissed, and kissed, and kissed, until Selphie poked her in the shoulder.
Selphie: Rinny, you guys can make out later. We have to get out of here!
Squall: What's the rush? My room's right up ahead.
Rinoa: No it's not and we'll tell you later. But for now Selph is right. Let's go.
Selphie ran to Irvine and let him lean on her. The five walked back the way the boys had come.
*Shiro*
Shiro wondered into the room with the closet. It was empty except for a table and a TV. There were a couple chairs here and there but it was pretty plain. She opened the closet and grabbed a flashlight off the ledge. She noticed the rifle had fallen and rushed over to make sure it hadn't gone off. The lens of the scope was trashed. She took it back into the room and shut the door to the closet. She put the gun on the table. Setting her throwing star on the chair, she reached under the table and pressed a button. The table started moving and screens started popping up. The table had turned into a GPS, had a space where there was scopes, pistols, and arrow tips, and a giant four-screen television. Shiro moved to the space with the scopes. She unscrewed the existing scope and replaced it with a brand new one. Happy with her work, she returned the table to normal. She set her gun on the table and went to tell Kuro.
*The Main Room*
Shiro: We need a replacement scope for the SG-15 scope. It was what had fallen.
Kuro: Akaling, we also need a SG-15 scope. Apparently, Shiro left her gun in the cavern again and it fell, shattering the lens.
Akaling: Affirmative. So I have an order for a SG-15 scope, a silencer, SG-15 bullets, a search on everyone from the Balamb Garden, and a 12 dozen packs of Hershey's Cookies and Cream bars. Anything else on your mind?
Kuro: Yeah, Shiro wants to talk to you. Here.
Shiro: Hey!! How ya been?
Akaling: Have you been sniffing pixie sticks again?
Shiro: No! I just wanted to talk.
Akaling: Well, I have other orders to fill. Make it quick.
Shiro: What if you truly fall in love with a target?
Akaling: I thought you were just obsessed!
Shiro: Well, not with that target! A different one. He was hanging around with him.
Akaling: Just score the other one.
Shiro: Affirmative.
Akaling: Akaling, over and out!
Shiro: Bye...
Kuro: Sis, you OK?
Shiro: You have the easy job. I have to score. You don't.
Kuro: Are you saying you like someone from here?
Shiro: Maybe...
Kuro: Oh, tell me! We have done any sister stuff lately! Wanna go shopping?
Shiro: Ok!!
*The Cavern*
Selphie and Irvine were leading and Squall and Rinny were behind them. Quistis was lookout. She had insisted.
Selphie: So, what have you been doing?
Irvine: Been dog piled on and Monday I have to go with Squall to see his dad. We'll be down there for about a week and a half.
Selphie: Sounds fun. You'll like President Loire. He uses a gun like you. Maybe you can practice together!
Irvine: Nah, I am just there so Squall can relax.
Selphie: Oh.
Selphie looked back and saw those two making out on the go! Jeez! Can't they ever stop! she thought. She looked ahead and Squall said to turn left. They did and there was a ladder. They all scrambled up the ladder one by one. Squall went first so he could pull Irvine up. Once they all were up the ladder, Squall shut the top. They were in the middle of the Training Center.
Irvine: Well, this looks familiar. Let's get going. I'm hungry!
Quistis: I'm gonna head to class, so I guess I'll see you all later. Bye! Oh, tell Zell!
Selphie: Right o'!
Selphie, Rinoa, Squall, and Irvine: See ya!
Rinoa and Squall also left. They said were gonna go to he Library because Rinoa had a term paper due on Monday before they left. Yeah right, thought Selphie. They said goodbye to them and started towards the cafeteria exit. Selphie couldn't remember the last time she was in here. She was admiring the redecorating that the T. C. C. was doing. They were trimming the trees and filtering the water better. They said it made healthier monsters and that people were complaining the monster's had gone down hill. One guess who that was, she thought to herself. Irvine was starting to get heavy on her so she suggested that they rest awhile.
*Quistis*
Quistis was hurrying off to class when she bumped into Rajin. She fell down and he helped her up. Quistis saw who she had run into and gasped. She lowered her head and walked by Rajin, mumbling sorry. He turned around and asked her if she wanted to go out to lunch. She stopped dead in her tracks.
Quistis: What?
Rajin: Yeah, I was thinking you could say you're sorry by coming to lunch with me, ya know?
Quistis: I'm terribly sorry but I have to go to class and I have a boyfriend.
Rajin: Ok, well maybe some other time, ya know?
Quistis: Maybe...
They parted ways and Quistis hurried to class. She was going to be late when Seifer stopped her!
Quistis: Oh, WHAT now!!
Seifer: QUISTIS?!!?
Quistis: Who were you expecting, Rinoa?
Seifer: Well, uhh,...
Quistis: C'mon what? I'm already late thanks to Rajin!
Seifer: Let me take you to class then. I can get you a pass.
Quistis: HUH!?!?!? Is this some kind of sick joke?
Seifer: No, I just thought you might want me to get you a pass into class. You've never been late.
Quistis: Well, thanks but after class you and me, we gotta talk about your boy Rajin.
Seifer: Huh...well shall we?
Quistis: Don't touch me.
Seifer: Ok.
Quistis: You know I'll catch on. So why not tell me now.
Seifer: What are you talking about!
Quistis: YOU!! You've never gave a...a... oh I don't know, about me!
Seifer: So?
Quistis stomped off but Seifer followed her into class. She walked in the door and took a seat in the back, not her usual seat mind you. Seifer sat down next to her. She put her head on the desk and kicked him underneath the desk. The teacher looked up and saw Seifer raising his hand.
Ms. Girisha: Yes Seifer?
Seifer: Uhh, (looks down at Quistis) please excuse Ms. Trepe from being late. She was talking with the D.C. about important matters.
Ms. Girisha: Oh?
Seifer: Yes ma'am. We needed her opinion on where, uh, (looks at Quistis again, she looks at him astonished from the desk) the new D.C. HQ should be.
Ms. Girisha: Thank you Seifer. Ms. Trepe?
Quistis was still looking at Seifer astonished. She looked at Ms. Girisha and stood up.
Quistis: Yes that is right.
Ms. Girisha: Well, where is it going to be?
Quistis: In a side office, uhh, by Cid's office, ma'am.
Ms. Girisha: Thank you Ms. Trepe. You may be seated. See that it doesn't happen again.
Quistis sat down and looked at Seifer. He smiled at her and she qringed slightly. She put her head down again. She felt a hand on her back.
Quistis: Get that off, right nooww...
Seifer: Ok Ok! Jeez! Just trying to be nice.
Quistis: Maybe we need to talk about you to...
Seifer: You have always been nice to me so I wanted to return the favor.
Quistis: OH MY GOSH!!! STALKER!!! MS. GIRISHA, I REQUEST TO BE EXCUSED FROM CLASS TODAY!!
Ms. Girisha: Negative! Sit down before I make both of you serve a detention!
Quistis: (a detention with him?!?!) Move away right now...
Seifer: I can't, and if you're so uncomfortable why don't you slap me?
Quistis reached up and bonked him in the back of the head. He now stared at her, confused. She put her head down in her arms again and slept. She couldn't concentrate. Seifer and Rajin were pulling a fast one on her, they discovered the true meaning of the twins and now she had hit Seifer, the leader of the D.C.! She went to sleep faster than she had counted on.
*The Library*
Squall and Rinoa thought they could hang out before tomorrow. Squall was going to be at Laguna's for a week and a half! they wouldn't get to see each other and what if something happened to him! Rinoa thought. It was already 11:08pm. They sat in an empty Library with no one else except the Director in the room. They were hiding behind one of the shelves just staring at each other and whispering when Seifer and Quistis came in to the room. They went to the other side of the shelf. Squall and Rinoa looked at each other and Squall climbed the bookshelf a little. They were concrete and attached to he floor so they wouldn't tip. Well, at least this part of the Library was. He peaked over the edge as Rinoa joined him. They had both become quite good at spying in the Library.
Quistis: Ok, I want to know what is up right now Mister!
Seifer: Nothing is up! Why...why would you think that?
Quistis: Ok, play your little game then. Just remember revenge is worse and I'll get even...
Seifer kissed Quistis right on the lips. That was a mistake. Squall hopped off the bookshelf and was going to punch Seifer out. Rinoa held him back.
Rinoa: She can take care of herself! Watch!
He hopped back up just in time to see Seifer go to his knees. Quistis had kneed him in the, well let's just say it wasn't pretty. He laughed a bit and watched the rest of it play out.
Quistis: You may be the D.C. leader but I am Selphie Tilmitts' friend! And Rinoa's too!! I AM NOT DEFENSE-LESS!! They have taught me a few things and well now that I see for myself they work, then you watch your back, Seifer Alamasy!
She stomped off and out of the Library.
Rinoa: Well, I better go talk to her. Do you think we'll ever get some time?
Squall: I don't know...
They started kissing again but Rinoa stopped and went after Quistis. Before leaving entirely she watched Squall sneak up on Seifer. He is a lion, she thought. He laughed at the poor sight and grabbed his jacket collar. He started pulling him out from behind the bookcase when he noticed her. Rinoa waved goodbye and trotted off. He laughed a little and started dragging Seifer out of the Library. He was going to spare him the humiliation this time. Here was yet another thing he could use for blackmail. Why ruin it? He pulled him all the way to the Training Center when he heard quite a commotion.
*Where We Left Selphie and Irvine*
A few hours had passed as the two had rested. Selphie and Irvine were talking when a T-rexaur came out from the bushes. It was a little one and Selphie thought she'd play with it, forgeting that usually mama was around. Well, everything went wonderful until the little one started getting restless. It started calling out and Selphie was worried. She picked it up which only made it worse. Now it was screaming! She set it back in the bushes. Selphie saw it run back into the mess of bushes and went to sit with Irvine.
Irvine: Why did you pick it up?
Selphie: I wanted to put it back...so it could find it's mom...
Irvine: Selphie...
Selphie: Uh oh...Irvine, we should probably get out of here now.
Irvine: Yeeaahhh... Let's go!!
They heard a roar from the trees and Selphie ran. She and Irvine were going as fast as they could when Selphie looked back and saw it just standing there. She stopped and Irvine slipped. She helped him up and looked back. It was gone. She looked around and found a big hollowed out tree, lying on the ground. She put Irvine inside and went to go see where the exit was. She thought it couldn't be that far. She was stomping around when the big dino appeared in front of her. Selphie was stunned and didn't move. She screamed and whipped out her nunchucks. She was madly flailing them around when the dinosaur reached down and sneezed on her. Now, she was mad. She began hitting it on the toe. It was only doing about 5 damage. The dinosaur looked at that insane girl and picked her up by the dress collar like a mother cat picks up her kittens. Selphie was afraid of heights and in desperation cast Haste on herself. Selphie started hitting the dino on the nose at 20 hit points a piece! She was so fast that the health bar on the dino was disappearing quickly. It dropped her and roared. Selphie cast Leviathan (she kind of stole him from Irvine) and told it to rival with this thing. It played dumb again. Selphie was wondering if Leviathan had become dumb in Squall's possesion. She hit Leviathan! That water dragon sat down and started crying sort of. It was like a whimper. She was jumping up and down yelling at him when the dinosaur dove at her. She ran around in circles still yelling when Irvine popped the dinosaur with his gun. Selphie stopped running and cheered. I'm saved, she thought! Well, Selphie still had Leviathan cast and so she took him back. She tried her luck with Cerberus by trying to get a Triple thingy. She never had really understood what he did but she seemed to beat things faster with him. She got a double...she screamed and called him back. She started to madly hit the dinosaur again. This time at 50 hit points! With Irvine shooting it and her beating it's brains out, it came down to 5 hit points. Then the little one came out and roared. Selphie laughed and laughed. But then she noticed that with each roar from the little one, the big one got 50 hit points back! Selphie screamed and that is what Squall had heard.
****************************************************************************************
Longest one yet! Well, if you're still confused about the twins, then I have accomplished my goal. So do you think Selphie and Irvine will make it out ok or will Squall lose against a big dinosaur? Tune in next time for another exciting episode of It All Started With A Bathroom!!!!! R&R!!!!!!
