Chapter 3

The Ultimate Weapon

It's been 3 days after the VII and VIII Team have met with each other. Cloud and Squall, the team leaders have decided that it's probably right for the two teams to meet and know each other since they're all gonna do the job hand-in-hand. The Team that they called "Fantasy" has 15 members lacking Vincent Valentine who left the VII Team two months ago was missing and some badly needed his gun skill and agility skills.

The Fantasy Team was in Balamb Garden, thre girls were all in Rinoa's former room and the guys were all huddled in Squall's former room too.

The Garden used to flow with SeeD Students and other instructors, but now all of them were gone. Graduated and now are in their own families and lives. Headmaster Cid Kramer and Edea were now leaving peacefully in a remote region that no one has ever seen before, but has heard off. Just like Bugenhagen said, he combined Edea's powers and his to reopen the Anger Vortex, which sent the two teams to each other, but are still in their present 'times.' 3 days were up for the team and now 4 more remain...

"Hey! Let's talk about the guys like we used to. It's been a long time since we did," Selphie cheerfully suggested.

"Okay, that sounds fine with me," Rinoa Leonheart agreed with Selphie.

Aeris and Tifa nodded in unison and so did Quistis and Yuffie.

The 6 adolescents were all in their usual outfits since it was still late afternoon and not night.

"Ahem... First, we start alphabetically by name." Seplhie tantalized the 5 especially Aeris who gave her an angry look.

"But it's by FAMILY name gals, not FIRST name." Aeris shot back at Selphie.

"Okay, but Gainsborough is still first against Leonheart, Lockhart Tilmitt, Kisaragi and Trepe." Selphie told Aeris who made a disgusted face.

"So Miss er I mean future Mrs. Strife, who do you like best among the guys?" Selphie began at Aeris.

Quistis and Rinoa huddled closer to listen more about the once 22 year old, who was 20 because of the warp.

"Uh, Cloud... He's okay. He's the only I like anyway... aside from Seifer. Seifer's cool looking too and his eyes are similar to Cloud's. I guess that's all." Aeris choked out and coughed a little trying to gasp for air.

"Boy, I can really say Aeris likes Cloud a lot since she hardly breathes when she mentions Cloud," Rinoa concluded and Tifa smiled wickedly.

"How 'bout you Yuffie? Whom do you like best???" Quistis asked Yuffie Kisaragi, the once 16 year old thief who was now younger at 14.

"Duh... I like no one!!! I think rotten guys are rotten stupid especially that Dincht guy that keeps on buggin me!!!" Yuffie growled and started doing the punching act.

Tifa and Rinoa whispered something to each other then lunged for Yuffie who was shocked.

The 3 struggled at each other, yowling, laughing and shrieking. Quistis, Aeris and Selphie were all looking helplessly. Confused and 'funny' expressions on their charmed faces. After a short while, Tifa pinned Yuffie by her arms, Rinoa pinned Yuffie in the arms. Then, they motioned Aeris and Selphie to tickle Yuffie til she confessed everything.

"Okay! Okay! Let go of me you're killing me more than Emerald did!!!" Yuffie screamed at the girls and wriggled out to a corner.

"I like Red XIII a lot and... and... I have a crush on him too. I think he's cute and he's a dog so he's like my pet dog, and I hate Zell and Cloud coz they always pick on me!!! Aarrgggh!!!" Yuffie poured everything out and gave Tifa a mad look.

"Red XIII!!!" The others laughed and laughed until Yuffie roared and they all shut up.

"Okay, it's my turn now," Rinoa said.

"As far as concerned, I like Seifer before but I disliked him for being so cruel to me, even if he was just possessed by Edea back then. Now, I like my husband Squall and I fell in love with him when I first saw him. But that Cloud guy is so cool too and his spiky blonde hair is great! His body is sexy and his sword is almost as wicked as Squall's Gunblade!!!" Rinoa prudly announced her confession.

It was Tifa's turn now,

"Don't tell this to anyone okay. Aeris, don't tell your fiance about this... but... I like Cloud and Cloud only. When we were friends, Cloud was really cute and he liked me a lot, but I didn't mind him often. Now that we grew, I realized how handsome and good-looking he is. Now, I'm obssessed with him..." Tifa said gloomily and sadly knowing that her closest friend will actually be lost to her and will unite with Aeris...

"I like Irvine. Irvine's coat is which I like best and the way he hugs me. He even hugs me better than my Grandma!!! Aside from Irvine, I also think that Cid is okay. He only smokes, so I dislike that." Selphie said and made a smile.

"It's simple for me... I wanna know Seifer more and not Barrett. Barrett is already too old for me but Seifer sounds like fun. I also like Squall a lot." Quistis announced and slumped back to her sofa. The room echoed with laughter...
