Squall's Bedtime Story Ending A: The Nightmare on Balamb Street PART 2

The author: Here we go. You choose to continue the story. There's no turning back now.

Rinoa and Fujin: (*smiling)

Squall: (*~ Is there something wrong with those two?)

(*Squall observed the two girls without them noticing it)

Squall: (*observing the girls) (~hey..what's that cord?) (*following the cords he saw..) (*~ great! They're not listening to my story. They're listening to the walkman)

Rinoa: (*noticing Squall) Yes Squally? Ah huh I get it! Please continue. (*smiles innocently)

Seifer: Shame on you chicken-wuss, look at Fu and Rin!

Zell: (*looks at the girls) What the? You two ...can stand, I mean.... still enjoying Squall's Story?

Fujin: FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY BROKEN HEA.. (*realizing her words) Uh... YEAH

Seifer: See?

Squall: Ahem... shall we continue?

ALL: OK!

Seifer: Minus the description of the town Squall (*~ Zell was right about it though)

Squall: Alright!

Zell: yeah!

Squall: (*murmurs) Cowards...

Seifer: What?

Squall: Uh....ah I mean towards.... Um... (*~come on Squall think) the thick fog, these five SeeDs came across an old garden. Clouds start to shed tears ...

Zell: (*interrupting Squall) Um how can the clouds cry?

Seifer: Shut up chicken wuss.... you don't know what does "clouds crying" mean? It means....uh....

Squall: (*speaks plainly) Rain

Seifer: yeah raining hard!

Squall: (*ignoring them, he resumes) There's no other option but to accept the garden's summons, come with me or die outside. Without any doubts, they ...

Rinoa: OH MY! The batter..um er...

Fujin: (*covering Rinoa's mouth) NOTHING

Zell: Batter?

Fujin: BUTTER NOT BATTER! HEHEHE

Squall: Rinny are you ok?

Seifer: Hey guys look! They got earphones! hahah that's why....Cheaters! (*confiscates the walkman)

Rinoa: Heheheh Sorry!

Fujin: STILL FEARLESS

Zell: ....

Squall: (*continues) The garden's hall is empty. Nothing's unusual except the creepy feeling of the thin haze covering the garden's floor. The place is cold, gloomy and disturbing... (*another loud thunder breaks in)

ALL: (*startled)

Squall: (*starts to walk around as his friends look at him. Trying to hide their fears) With only torches as their guide, they journey into the abyss of the garden, together they explore the dark realms. The thumping of their heartbeats serves as the background music to these infinite shadows. Meanwhile outside... (*looks outside the window with the corner of his eye) outside....(*the lighting reflects from Squall's eyes) the formerly dead surrounding was shattered by ...(*looks at his comrades) creepy things. Crawling, oozing out of the dirt....

Fujin and Rinoa: EEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!

Seifer: What the? Fujin? Did you just squeal?

Squall: Rinny?

Fujin and Rinoa: sorry!

Squall: (*concerned about Rinoa) Um sure guys you want me to continue this story?

Fujin: (*in a normal girlie tone) Um..I guess I have to go now. Bye Seifer, bye Zell, bye Squall, goodnight best friend Rinny!

Seifer: Whoaa? Now that's something to be scared of!

ALL: (*surprised to hear Fujin's normal tone)

*Fujin just walks outside Squall's room

Squall: (*stares at the retreating Fujin) (~ what'd ya know.. Fu can talk straight after hearing my story? Wow that's hitting two birds in one stone!)

Seifer and Zell: (*Salutes at Squall)

Squall: (*looks at his wall clock~ Oww it's 3 a.m. got to hurry. But hey I'm not sleepy anymore. Now all I have to do is to scare this two, then me and my girl can sleep, uh I mean talk. That's it)

Rinoa: (*standing) uh.Squally.

Squall: Yes? Can I help you?

Rinoa: I hate to ..go.but

Squall: (*~ w-what? She's leaving me with these two?) Hey Rin...why? What's wrong?

Seifer: I think your princess needs to change her diapers heheh

Squall: (*glares at Seifer) HEY?

Zell: He's just kidding, right Seif?

Squall: (*looking back at Rin) Oh please my angel stay... (*holding her hands)

Seifer: Ahemm....that's PDA Squall. Remember, I'm still the HEAD of the Disciplinary Committee and the Commander is not an exception to the Garden Rules. (*Smirking)

Squall: whatever...

Rinoa: Um sorry Squall. It's just that um (*still not admitting that she's terrified) since I'm the only girl here, I guess umm it's not appropriate for me to stay. Plus I have to c-check on Angelo.....gosh I forgot to feed my poor pet! Y-yeah that's it and um...Squall, p-please come with (*changing her mind) ah nah thanks...I mean can I go back to my dorms now? It's just next to this room so don't worry 'bout me ....ok guys just don't freak out buh-bye! (*kissed Squall on the cheek) Wuv you Squally!

Zell and Seifer: (*looking at Squall and Rinoa) Whoaaa!!!

Squall: B-but Rinny? (*defeated ~ Oh no...I thought Zell or Seifer will quit first. But hmm...oh well I think she needs some rest) Ok (*unaware) I Love you too goodnight..see ya tom. (*kisses Rinoa)

Zell: (*at Seifer) Um Seif. still a PDA?

Seifer: Ahhh I think that's an exception.

Squall: (*Escorted Rinoa outside the room then confronts his two remaining friends) Alright....so? Shall we continue this?

Seifer: Ok!

Zell: (*raises his right hand) Um...er.

Seifer: heheh what now chicken wuss?

Zell: Um..Squall um...I- Got a full bladder....um c-can I go out?

Seifer: heheheh NO!

Squall: What a lame excuse Zell!

Zell: Hey .. um I'm not making this up ....really! B-But if Seif is going to tease me with that Mr. Chicken-wuss thing...I'll stay!

Seifer: (*smirks) That's more like it Zell...so NOW...Commander bring it on!

Squall: Where were we? Ah yes, outside...(*still raining) soldiers of the dark prepared themselves for a feast...

Zell: Ohhh I HA...I mean I like zombiessss yeah..

Seifer: Ohh interesting....wanna slash one hehehe! Squall um...what happened to the 5 youths?

(*Seifer may seem to have an interest at the 5 SeeDs but the fact is that he's just too scared to hear more about the undead soldiers, Squall was describing)

Squall: So.. sure you don't want me to describe the zombies? (*goes back to the window)

Zell: Um Squall don't go near the window....someone or something might pop- out from behind then ...ahhhh

Seifer: you cannot scare Squall!

Squall: whatever... (*looks at his clock ~3:10 am. What the? at least two more left. Let's see) Oh let's continue.... let's not waste time. So what happen to the 5 SeeDs? Still searching for something or someone... (*~duh .dunno what am I saying)

Seifer: (*unaware) they're just searching aimlessly in the dark...waiting for something to occur.

Zell: (*looks at Seifer) Whoaa? Seif? Did you just say that?

Seifer: W-what? Oh... welp sorry ...just carried away. Hahaha!

Squall: (~fu talks smoothly a while ago and now Seif....whoa that's weird) yeah that's right Seifer...um the SeeDs were just searching aimlessly in the dark waiting for something or someone to come about, to emerge from this endless evilness that surrounds them. And now let's go again outside...

Seifer: Um Commander, please I want to know more about the SeeDs ...not the weirdos outside!

Squall: (* he called me commander? This is getting weirder) .........

Zell: He called Squall, commander? This is getting weirder.

Squall: (*looks at Zell) (~now Zell reading my mind?) (*Slaps his head ...maybe I'm just dreaming or something)

Zell: Maybe I'm just dreaming or som.

Squall: STOP RIGHT THERE ZELL!!!

Zell: What? What's wrong?

Seifer: Commander .... Just ignore the chicken wuss

Squall: (*calms down) uh sorry....anyway let's just settle this story um yeah outside...

Seifer: P-please no more outsideeeee.

Zell: SEIFER THE CHICKEN WUSS! SEIFER THE CHICKEN WUSS

Seifer: HECK NO?

Zell: Please Squall describe the zombiesss heheheh (*tries to taunt Seifer)

Seifer: (*~nooo please Squall, I hate zombies....please say N-O)

Squall: Welllll.... YES why not? (*smiles)

Seifer: (*slaps his forehead) DOPE

Zell: Alright! (*~oh no) Let's see who's the CHICKEN WUSS hehehe

Seifer: (*~I'm going to kill you Zell after this)

Squall: Welp outside? One by one......

Zell: AHHHHHHH

Squall and Seifer: Huh? What?

Zell: (*~oopss) Ah er heheh nothing ...just a-adding to the effects that's all! (*he said defensively)

Squall: (*~whatever) One by one they emerged from their deep slumber....

Seifer and Zell: (*~ yikes)

Squall: The smell of these 5 fresh fleshes touch their senses making them crave ....

Seifer: Um S-Squall... um they're dead right?

Squall: huh?

Seifer: soo...um they don't have any senses...they cannot feel anything? Am I right?

Squall: Duh.. do you want me to make you a zombie so that you'll know if they really got these senses?

Seifer: Uh...I guess they have.

Squall: crave...

Zell: (*interferes as to change the topic a bit) f-for hotdogs!

Squall and Seifer: (*looks at Zell) h-hotdogs?

Zell: (*Stands) Yeah..um not the zombies but one of the ....SeeDs....right! He craves for hotdogs...so he asks the leader of the SeeD to hang out at the Cafeteria for a sec. Exhausted from their journey they decided to fill in their stomachs...

Squall: (*~ what?)

Zell: One SeeD in particular, the one with the tattoo on his face, um he went directly to the kitchen a-and found out that the oven was still hot... curious with what's inside he slowly opens the oven. Astonished by a very familiar aroma....

Seifer: (*~ definitely that's a hotdog...ugh I can't believe he can't stop thinking about that food)

Squall: (*interferes)yeah....aroma of that juicy and delicious food he's dying to taste with....is that ok Zell?

Zell: Yeah please continue that ...

Squall: He reached inside the oven hoping to see his favorite cuisine and at last it's right there in his hands. He then slowly pulled his hands out and..... guys, guess what he's holding?

Zell: HOTDOGS! Alright!

Squall: It seems to be a hotdog.... at first (*some thunder roared again) but as the light from the torch touches the object, they're but someone else's fingers! Coated with blood!

Zell: (*Almost vomits) UGhhh..

Seifer: Yeah alright! Cool!

Zell: Ughhh. (*not feeling well) Ughhh

Squall: Are you alright Zell?

Zell: Ughh I guess I have to go to the bathroom...got....ugh...stomachache.....ugh (*runs outside the room)

Seifer: Whoo hoo....way to go Squall

Squall: (*~one to go... duh and the toughest one to scare) (*Looks at his watch ~ its 3:45 am)

Seifer: Ok Squall....I'm sorry to tell you that I'm not going anywhere without you finishing that story...heheh

Squall: whatever....um we can continue this tomorrow evening or...

Seifer: No Excuses pal heheh

Squall: ( *~duh...whatever! I must think of a way to scare him off) With that incident, they all run towards a small room... a room full of dust, spider webs and red markings. Truly it was an ugly sight (*covers his face with his right hand) one of them dared to go near the room's only window.... gazing from a far he noticed a strange figure materialized from nowhere. Rain starts to pour out again in angst, concealing the figure's appearance. he can't clearly see it but it's there coming his way...closer and closer and closer.... this green-eyed fellow...

Seifer: (*~whoaa! Is he referring to me? I'm the one looking at the window?) (*Gulps)

Squall: he failed to sense these things; the said figure is now in front of him. He then realized that he comes face to face with the soul not from this world....

Seifer: (*gulps) ah- ah Squall....

Squall: (*ignoring Seifer) He felt a sudden chill creeping through his system, moving stealthily in his veins; for he begins to recognize the figure that was in sight. He was mesmerized ...unable to move his body. The figure appears to be just gazing back at him, observing him... longing to tear, to devour ...

Seifer: Uh why him?(*refers to the green-eyed fellow) And n-n-not t-the one w-with the tattoo on his face (*touching the right side of his face) he should be the one ..

Squall: (*still ignoring his companion) Then the "figure" licks the glass window. He was terrified...never in his life he experienced such extreme fear..

Seifer: (*panicked) how 'bout his comrades? W-what are they doing? ARE THEY BLIND? Can't they see that their handsome fellow was being fantasized as a fried banana on stick?

Squall: (*continues to talk) they're unaware that one of their comrades was being hypnotized by the eerie creature, luring him to his death.

Seifer: COME ON WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

Squall: More undead creatures peep into the window. Frantically yearning to gnash their teeth to the victim in sight....

Seifer: (*edgy) arghhh.....what about his friends!

Squall: Still looking for a way out. But the room seems to be a dead end! Oh alas! (*looks down) (* a deafening thunder filled the air)

Seifer: (*looks outside the window, imagining himself as the bait to the ghouls.*~ ugh....I'm a dead meat) Hopeless.....

Squall: Finally, the malevolent creatures find their way inside the garden. They terrorize the vicinity....

Seifer: (*~OH NO! The zombie gang is coming!) .....

Squall: (*~heck he's is tough.. but I can see he's just hiding it from me. hehehe let's see) They banged the walls. (*Squall hits the wall with his fist) Others were howling like wolves so as to lure their victims out of their hiding place, making them known to the ill-fated ones; that they've arrived to savor the feast. (*thunder rumbles) (*Squall was shaken by the sudden lightning that follows)

Seifer: P-please continue the story Squall (*pretends to be cool defending his pride)

Squall: The noise outside of their hiding place gives a shock to their system, making them wished that they'd never step into that place. A supreme horror was all in their minds. Then unexpectedly, the sounds of the ghouls vanished, giving way into an ambiance of complete stillness. (*rain starts to fade) But....listen (*looks at the door) ...listen. Maybe it's just a trap? Maybe they want us to come out.... listen....listen (*stops from narrating then concentrates to the sounds around him)

Seifer: (*Carefully listening to any sound that catches his ear) ....hey I don't hear any.....

(*all of a sudden they heard a quite strange sound. Like chains dragging on the floor)

Squall and Seifer: (*alarmed at the sound) WHAT THE?

Squall: W-what was that? (*looks at Seifer)

Seifer: (*looks at the door then to Squall) I dunno pal (*worried)

Squall: (*gets his gunblade) I better check it out!

(*the said sound seems to be getting close to Squall's room)

Seifer: No..shhh (*whispers) I'll go check it out! You just back me up ok? Bro.... (*taps Squall's shoulder) if anything happens to me...umm please.. take care of my debts to the Cafeteria eh?

Squall: What?

Seifer: (*stealthily walks off, drawing his gunblade he slowly unlock the door and steps outside the room)

(* meanwhile Squall was alone in his room..waiting for a cue but then he heard someone saying "ugh" )

Squall: Now's my turn...

(*as he approached the door, Seifer peeps out and appears to be someone was grabbing him by the neck.)

Seifer: Ughhh hellllppp S-Squall..ugh..zom...

Squall: !!!

(*before Squall can react, another hand appeared slapping Seifer's head)

Seifer: OUCHHHhhhh that hurts old man!

??? : Don't call me old man!

Squall: What the? What's this....Seifer?

Cid: TAH DAH!

Squall: CID? H-how?

Cid: (*still wearing his pajamas with a fluffy bunny slippers) ah sorry to disturb you Squall.

Squall: and what's that? (*looking at Cid's right leg)

Cid: (*pointing his right leg) these chains? Ohhh ah coz just this evening I saw Angelo running around the garden's premises so I decided to grab his chains and try to calm the dog but dunno Angelo was so energetic and runs around me then the strap around his neck snaps and there goes the happy dog! Leaving me with these chains wrapped around my legs. It seems to be stuck so I just hop and look for someone to help me.

Seifer: then he collapsed so he dragged himself crawling like a worm hehhehe!

Squall: (*Slaps his forehead) Seifer...cut off the chains and hey Sir Cid, Is there something wrong? Why are you still up at this time?

Cid: Oh..oh my oh yes I almost forgot...um I was supposed to tell you last night that you have an important mission um today at 7 am well it's a kinda....

Squall: (*butts in) Who-whoaa right there? You're telling me ...

Cid: yes! And oh plus you got an appointment with Mr. Loire, the President in Esthar, then...

Squall: (*faints) (*BLAGAGGG)

Cid: another interview 5 pm, then....Squall? Squall? SQUALLLLLLL! (*like Campbell calling on Snake) (*looks at his watch) hey Squall you're going to be late its 6:30 am! Wake up you sleepy head!

Seifer: (*yawns) hmmm nap time! (*goes back to his room)

The author: Welp CONGRATS! You've finally helped our hero here to have his sleep (though in a not so comfortable way) but at least he got his wish! If you're asking what happen to the other characters... Here's the list

Selphie: to be able to sleep, she talks to the wall then when she's a bit bored with that she goes straight into her bed then sleeps.

Ellone: Warps her consciousness to another planet so that she can forget all about the story then eventually after the tiring journey to Mars she takes a nap.

Quistis: cast a sleep spell onto herself . ..you know what will happen!

Irvine: who cares about him anyway heheh.. (*oopss hello to Irvine's fans...peace be with you)

Fujin: the next morning after Squall's story, she comes out of her room wearing a light blue dress (like Selphie's yellow suit) with a cute hair pin then talks to everyone in a normal and girlie voice making people shout "THE END OF THE WORLD IS NEARRRRR!!!!"

Rinoa: of course somehow she manages to have some nap next to her pet Angelo.

Zell: after the story, he becomes a vegetarian and yes no more hotdogs for him! YAY!

The author: you know of course what happened to Squall, Seifer and Cid, but if you want to add up another comment here, please do tell me. Thanks!
