Chapter 2

The Plan

Irvine was still half-asleep and had no idea what was going on. He thought Zell was joking until Zell flashed women's panties in front of his face.

"That could be Rinoa's or Quistis's." Irvine said sleepily.

Rinoa yelled from the kitchen, "I don't like that brand!"

Irvine had remembered why she didn't like Victoria secret, One sad day Rinoa had forced him to go there with her so she can get some lingerie that would appeal to Squall. Irvine has suggested going to a kinky store, but he only got slapped. After an hour or so of Rinoa showing him a buffet of lingerie then trying them on, she decided to get a slinky red bra and thong set. When she went to bye it, the clerk wouldn't sell it her believing that she has stole some. Rinoa got pissed and never bought there again.

"Okay then, Quistis tell me it's yours!" Irvine said.

Quistis roared with laugher, "No, n-n-no!" She had stuttered from laughing.

Out of the blue Zell said, "I like your pajamas."

Irvine look down at his footie cowboy pajamas, "Be quiet I like them."

"I wasn't dissing them!" He Laughed.

"Shut up."

Irvine then went to bed in belief that this was a dream and, well, he's tired. After Zell and Quistis were done putting Squall's stuff away they went to the kitchen and sat down where Rinoa was.

"I wonder when Squall's coming home." Riona mumbled.

Zell smiled, "When he goes home, boy we have a surprise for him!"

"We could," Quistis added, "But we'd have to wait about three hours."

Every one looked at the kitchen clock. Surprisingly it was twelve o'clock not exactly but pretty close. Quistis got up and boiled some water for tea for everyone but Zell grabbed a twenty four-ounce of Mountain Dew from the refrigerator. While he gulped it down Quistis had a very ornery look on her face as Rinoa looked at her tea with disappointment. Zell grabbed her tea and with a can of whipped cream he put a small happy face in it.

Rinoa smiled, "I was just hoping for an awkward silence."

Quistis changed her look to devious smile.

"We can't just wait for three hours to torture him!" Zell had his chin on the palm of his right hand, with the left he tapped his fingers, "This is just boring."

Quistis jumped up in delightment and hit the table, in a chain reaction it knocked Zell's chair down, "I've got it!"

"What?" Zell mumbled as he got up from the floor. He wasn't that happy at Quistis at the moment.

She smiled, "Sorry Zell! I just have a great idea, in stead of Squall coming to us, we go to him!"

"What! We can't do that!" Rinoa yelled.

"And Zell you can make some classic moves on him!"

Zell shock his head, "No, I'm with Rinoa on that one. I am not going to a club to hit on SQUALL!"

"Please go! You can make a fool out of Squall! He would have to act like he didn't know you or his reputation is ruined!" Quistis enthusiastically said.

Zell thought about this for roughly five minutes, "No."

"Please!" She begged.

"No."

"Yes!"

"No!"

"Yes."

"That's it, no."

"No as in…?"

"I'm not gonna do it!"

"So you won't?"

"Yes!"

"Ha! You said yes!"

"No. Well yes, but that was to your other question." Zell said impatiently.

"Okay you won that one."

Rinoa who was almost forgotten was watching Zell and Quistis fight in utter amazement, "You know, now that I think of it… Quistis I like you plan. Zell you have to do this not only for me but for the sake of my sanity!"

Quistis and Rinoa got on their knees and graveled to Zell. "Please!" The both begged.

Zell couldn't say "no" to them, you can't just say "no" to people who actually grovel for something! After they were done groveling they gave Zell the puppy dog look, which doesn't help.

"Fine I'll do it!" Zell gave in to the begging.

"Yeah!" The both cried.

They got off their knees and Rinoa jumped him, "Thank you!" Rinoa hugged him.

"Yeah, yeah let's just go before I change my mind." Zell grumbles in defeat.

They all piled in to Quistis's car and compiled a plan that they will use against Squall. She drove to the "Radiant Club Spot" that Squall had gone to. Getting in the building they starting looking around to see they description of Squall that Rinoa and Quistis had remembered, curly blond hair that reached to the chin and a red shiny dress that stopped at the knees. Squall has a woman like figure that he can pull it off really well… The problem with that is he doesn't stand out in the crowd so it will be difficult looking for him. The group sat down at a table; the club is shaped in a circle building so the dance floor is in the middle with sitting area around the edge.

"See anything yet?" Rinoa asked

. Zell shock his head, "Nope."

"Well if I have," Quistis noted, "I would have Zell doing his routing by now."

"Maybe he is sitting at the table?" Zell looked around.

Rinoa whispered, "Most likely at the bar."

"Say let's spilt up! Zell you can go to the bar area, Rinoa and I can check out the dance floor." Quistis ordered.

"Okay." They said.

***

Sitting alone at the bar was Squall or shall we say Natalie. 'Maybe it's this dress, does it make me look fat?' Natalie thought, 'No! I look to die for in it, red is my color!' Squall… Natalie was offered three drinks tonight but they found something hotter and blonder, which was the same girl. She looked at her vodka with disappointment losing three men to the same women, such disgrace.

"Hey what is a pretty girl like you sitting here all alone in a place like this?"

'I recognize that voice…" She thought.

As the strange suspicions were true Natalie turned around and it was none other then Zell himself. "Ah, erm, hi." She said in a disguised girl voice, 'I mustn't let him know that I'm Squall!' She thought.

Zell took a seat by her, "So what's your name?"

"Na- Natalie!"

He smiled a big smile it almost looked like he was about to burst out laughing until a shoe flow and hit him on the head.

"That's a very beautiful name, I'm Zell." He rubbed his head and look into the crowd of dance people.

'This seems suspicious… Nah how would he find out.' Natalie thought.

"Thanks I like your name too, It's different."

Zell went cross eyed, "I see different… You know," Zell stopped and smiled, "Lovely weather we're having!"

"Well I guess if you like rain and mud, then I guess it's great weather… couldn't you find another topic to flirt with?"Natalie giggled, 'I hope he's eating my act up, If they find out who I am… I'm tea and crumpets!'

He sighed, "Why couldn't the weather have been better, Err so are you new around here? I haven't seen you around… or have I?"

"NO! I mean we have never met."

"Are you sure I think I have seen your pretty face before."

'Yeah maybe at our HOUSE!' Natalie only smile when she thought this.

Zell shook his head, "Now that I think of I guess I haven't, I would have remembered an angle like you."

"So sweet." 'Can he get any cornier?'

***

(Zell's version)

Zell headed over to the bar when he saw the description of Squall that Quistis and Rinoa have gave him. 'Here it goes the most humiliating part of my life,' Zell wept in his thoughts. We walked up to him or her.

"Hey what is a pretty girl like you sitting here all alone in a place like this?"

She turned around slowly, 'Aha he knows that it's me!' Zell thought evilly.

"Ah, erm, hi." She had a nevus look.

Zell took a seat by her, "So what's your name?"

"Na- Natalie!" 'Couldn't he had picked a better name?' Zell felt laughter slowly emerging he was trying so hard to not laugh when a shoe hit him on the head, 'Say some thing!' He thought.

"That's a very beautiful name, I'm Zell." He rubbed the back of his head where the shoe hit him, looking back he saw Rinoa and Quistis in the crowd with Quistis making the slashing throat motion.

"Thanks I like your name too, It's different."

'Different! He has no right to call my name different! At least my name is not Natalie!' Zell thought in anger.

"I see different… You know," Zell stopped him self from spoiling it and getting hit on the head by Rinoa's other shoe, "Lovely weather we're having!"

"Well I guess if you like rain and mud, then I guess it's great weather… couldn't you find another topic to flirt with?" Natalie giggled.

He sighed, "Why couldn't the weather have been better, Err, are you new around here? I haven't seen you around… or have I?" 'Ha, I've got you know Squall!" Zell thinks to him self.

"NO! I mean we have never met."

"Are you sure I think I have seen your pretty face before." Zell said in a sly way.

Natalie only smiled, which made Zell nervous. Zell thought that he should come up with something really corny, "Now that I think of I guess I haven't, I would have remembered an angel like you."

"How sweet."
