Tonberry's Innocence
A/N: Second one up!
"No, Tonberry, you don't *poke* the basketball, you throw it!!!" Selphie slapped her forehead and sighed at the little sheepish GF. They were standing in the basketball court, thankfully deserted. "Didn't I tell you not to bring your knife?!"
"S-Sorry," Tonberry muttered and poked the ball again. Selphie sighed and knelt down to pat the small GF. "You look kindda tired kid. Why don't you go back to the inter-dimensional plane and get some shut-eye?"
Tonberry vehemently shook his head. "I-I don't wanna," Tonberry whimpered. "They- They -"
Selphie narrowed her eyes. "Oh, they bully you, do they? We'll see 'bout that!" She stood up and marched resolutely to the bridge, dragging the hapless Tonberry behind her. The doors swung open and the occupants looked up with surprise. Selphie looked around. 'Where's Squally?"
Quistis didn't look up from her work. Apart from Rinoa, Selphie was the only living human being who called him 'Squally' and got away with it. Speaking of which... "He's in the cafeteria with Rinoa." She said off- handedly as she moved a stack of papers to another spot on her desk.
Selphie blinked in surprise. 'I thought she said she doesn't want to speak to him after he accidentally made Angelo a zombie?"
The incident occurred several days ago when they were training in the Training Centre. Squall was showing the cadets how to draw Zombie from one of the monsters when Angelo came bounding in. In what was later called 'The Big Shock', Squall accidentally draw-cast the spell onto Angelo. To make matters worse, a cadet cast Cure on the canine and induced further suffering on the animal. Why Rinoa laid the blame totally on Squall was still a mystery.
"She can't stay away, now can she?" Quistis chuckled and looked up. 'What's the hurr - oh, hello, Tonberry." She smiled pleasantly at Tonberry.
The GF sheepishly hid behind Selphie and the Trabian remembered her initial reason for being here. "I'm looking for Squall coz I wanna speak to Bahamut. Guess I'll have to interrupt their little reunion," She sighed and flipped her hair up. Interrupting Squall when he's patching things up with Rinoa is not a good idea.
"Wait, Bahamut is with me," Quistis said quickly. "Let's go out to the balcony and I'll call him out.
The silver dragon descended from the skies and looked suspiciously at his mistress. Quistis looked up at him. "Selphie wants to talk you - "
"You big meanie!" Selphie butted in and yelled. Bahamut blinked. "What did I - "
"Just coz you guys are big you bully poor Tonberry to death! Look at him, he's terrified!' Selphie pointed to Tonberry, who was trying to hide behind her small frame. "Mi-Mistress..."
Bahamut suddenly let out a rumble, and it took a second for Selphie to realize he was laughing. "Eh?"
Bahamut tried to keep himself airborne while laughing. "Miss Selphie, I assure you it's US that's terrified of him. He can't touch anyone without poking us with that-that...knife, and every time he jumps in excitement, junk comes out of nowhere and we have to duck for cover. Not to mention he's terrified of the dark and has that lantern on, which also causes us to become dizzy because of its effects. It affects out vitality, see," Bahamut finished his explanation and chuckled again. "Besides, it was Siren who banished him, because... heheh... the little tyke's a pervert as well. Caught him sneaking up on Siren while she was sleeping. The girl doesn't like her sleep interrupted, see." Bahamut was roaring with laughter now, and Selphie could feel her junctioned GFs giggling too. Her anger mounted again, but this time it's to the shaking GF still hanging on her legs - and poking her! "YAARGH!!! Don't poke me!!!!"
Quistis covered her mouth and laughed silently. Bahamut blinked with curiosity. "Ah... I suppose this punishment is enough," He muttered at Selphie who was beating Tonberry mercilessly with her nunchaku. "He's not going to get near Siren for a while now."
Quistis looked inquiringly at him. "Sly dragon, you. I thought you were going for Leviathan?"
Bahamut wrinkled his nose. "Levy's too slippery. Besides, she's got this thing for Eden, see?"
Quistis couldn't contain her laughter now. "Oh really?! Oh my... that explains why Squall feels uneasy nowadays. I should tell him to unjunction either one."
"If you do that, Levy will never forgive you," Bahamut said gravely. "She can be very nasty when she's angry... let's say she floods Garden?"
Good Shiva. Quistis shuddered at the thought of Garden becoming a huge floating waterfall. "I get your point."
"Right," Bahamut started to fly away. "Call me where there's a *real* emergency."
"I won't interrupt your time," Quistis chuckled and returned indoors, ignoring Selphie, who was hanging Tonberry by the end of her nunchaku and swinging it with all her might. The whole Garden knows how much Selphie dislikes perverts. In fact, it was she who changed Irvine from a skirt- chaser into one of the most gentlemanly guys in Garden. Gone were the Girl Next Door mags under his bed and the suspicious-looking messages in his drawers. If Selphie pushed harder Quistis had no doubt that the guy would be a celibate for his little Seffie.
Just then the alarm blared and the red warning lights came on. Quistis looked up in alarm and checked her screen. "Security breach on level 1! GF breach in the cafeteria!" The screen showed and she sat there stunned. A moment later she laughed, her musical laugh joining in with the loud blaring of the alarm. Xu came flying down, horrified. "What is it?! An attack?!"
"Shut the alarm, will you?" Quistis picked up her pen again. "It's nothing serious."
"Urgh." Xu checked the security panel. "The last time the alarm went off it was because Squall turned Angelo into a zombie and Rinoa Angel Winged. It was unfortunate that she had her inventory full."
Quistis pursed her lips and laughed. "If you're really curious, go and see."
Xu cast her companion a strange look before heading to the elevator.
