Chapter II

The car swerved into the driveway. The three girls rushed out of the car and up the walkway in silence. Death glares were shot all over. Innocent bystanders would have been taken as prisoners of war.

They stomped up the stairs so loud that the neighbors around the house came out to see what was going on. These things did not happen everyday. Besides, there was a fight ensued. One lady even came out with the goop that one wears while asleep to moisturize their skin.

"Where do you think you're going?" Rinoa turned back and screeched at them, making the lady with the goop mask to cringe.

"Uhh, we have a project to do …" Selphie informed her as if it was necessary, "Didn't think you could get away so easily, did you?"

"We?  You have a project to do!  Leave me out of this!" Rinoa retorted, "I have nothing to do with this!" She didn't really care what she said anymore, as long as it got them off her back.

Apparently, Quistis didn't care what she was saying nor if it made sense or not, "Aaaah!  Waaaah!  Stupid bitch!  Nyaaaaah!"

Another woman who was standing with her son quickly covered her son's ears to stop him from hearing the profanities.

Selphie and Rinoa looked at her disbelievingly.

"Righty then. Whatever you say." Rinoa said as she turned around once more to enter her house, only to find the two others were still following her.

"Where the Hell do you think you're going?" She turned once more, "You are not coming into my house."

"But Quistis and I are both morons!  We need your salvation!  Please, save us!" Selphie was about to get down on her knees and beg.

"How do you figure I'm any better off than you?" Rinoa retorted, "And anyways, it's not my problem."

Quistis latched onto her arm and rested her head on Rinoa's shoulder, "It is now."

"Whatever." An exasperated sigh escaped Rinoa's lips, "Fine, don't step on the rug, don't forget to take your shoes off, no touching the TV or the remote for that matter, no raiding the fridge, don't go into any rooms without my permission … and oh, you are not permitted to go into the bathroom.  All bodily excretions will have to wait."

The girls exchanged glances and then broke out into a question, "So, what can we do?"

"You can go to the computer room and work you ass off." She said as they entered the house.

The neighbors went back into the homes disappointedly. This was not the way they thought it would turn out, but on the other hand, there was going to be something to talk about at the summer pool parties.

"Oh my god! That day was so hilarious!" Selphie laughed. It seemed as if they were all good friends again.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! And then he went and locked himself into the closet. When they found him, he ran all the way home." Quistis laughed.

"All that because Selphie turned him down!" Rinoa broke down into hysterics, "God, we were so mean."

"Yeah, we were." Quistis laughed; then stated, "I'm hungry."

"Wow. That was really obscure." Selphie stated, "Come to think of it… So am I."

"You're what? Obscure or hungry?" Rinoa asked.

"HUNGRY!" Selphie wailed.

"All right. I suppose you can have those shitty cookies the Girl Guides sold us." Rinoa said.

"Wait… I like those cookies."

"Well, then. Do you like tofu?" Rinoa asked with an evil intent.

"No."

"Good. You can have that that then." Rinoa smirked.

"Oh damn." Quistis said.

"Do you like it in lasagna?" She asked demonically.

The two girls looked at each other and plastered on the same fake smile and nodded their 'Yes'.

"Oh well. You can have that too." Rinoa said enthusiastically. She was going to shove it down their throats whether they liked it or not.

"Whatever. Stop with the questions from Hell and let's just go and eat." Selphie complained.

They left the room and walked down the stairs.  Quistis, being the last one to leave the room, tripped over her own feet and fell upon Selphie … who then fell on Rinoa.  The avalanche of girls tumbled down the stairs and plunged into a different world.

***

Rinoa's eyelids lifted slightly and scanned the surroundings.  Haystacks, horses … nothing out of the ordinary … wait … horses?  Haystacks?  And was that a pig that had squealed by … or was it Selphie? 

She jerked upright and felt her forehead collide with something awfully hard. "Fuck, ow!" She cursed and looked up to what she had smashed in … someone else's head. 

The tall man, clad in a cowboy hat and a tanned leather trench coat seemed unaffected.  He smirked at her, "Hey there pretty lady …"

"Who the hell are you?" Rinoa screeched, "Where am I?  Where's Selphie and Quistis?  What happened to my stairs?"

"Woah, woah … maybe we should start by getting to know each other better.  I'm Kinneas, Irvine Kinneas, and you would be?"

"Where's Quistis and Selphie?" She waved her arms around frantically, "Where am I?"

"I'm sorry. You must not have heard me before. I'm a guy. You're a pretty girl. What does that tell you?"

"To get the Hell away from me! Now answer, where are Selphie and Quistis?"

"Well then.  They are over there. Now tell me, do we have to put out a buck and a half to get you?"

"To what?"  She screeched even louder, "A buck and a half?  Get the hell away!  Get away, now!  Rapist!  Pervert!"

A tall brown haired man walked into the room A thin scar ran from his forehead to underneath his left eye.  His serious face made him seem older.

"Irvine, what the fuck were you trying to pull?" He scowled, "You goddamn pervert."

Rinoa jumped from the haystack to behind the new stranger, "That's right, sir!  You tell him!  He is a creepy, creepy bastard!!  Help me!"

"I'll help you if you get off of me."

"Oh. Right." She said as she got off of him. "Now beat him up!"

He turned around and looked at her as if she had sprouted a third head. "Are you kidding? Me, beat him up?" He paused to look at her, "Love to, but can't."

"But… But…"

"I told you, I can't I got trees to cut. Talk to you later." He said as he ran out the barn doors.

"You're no better than him!" Rinoa yelled after him.

Finally, her companions seemed to wake up, "Where am I?  Holy shit!  Is that a pig?" Selphie squealed, much like the animal she had woken to.

"Hello there, honey!" Irvine began working his 'magic' again, "Do you put out for a buck and a half?"

"Do I what?" Selphie raised an eyebrow.

Sammy-Chan: Hee hee … funny!  Hoped you liked it … if not well, you're going to have to ……… bah, you know, screw it!  Hee hee hee … anyways, read and review and I hope you like the fic.

CharlieGirl: Obviously, my friend lacks logic… Anyways, wow! We finally made it to the end! *Pushes 'Save' once more* Anyways, review or I'll send a really pissed off Sammy to ya. You don't want that, TRUST ME. So save yourself and write your words.
