First of all I wish to apologise. I haven't updated this story for various
reasons, but now I don't have an excuse. So here goes the next chapter...
Ideas for future chapters are more than welcome, as are reviews :-)
Odd, I'm not acting odd. Chapter 2 – Odder and Odder
Rinoa yawned deeply. She smiled at the memories of the night before. As she sat, her coffee stone cold in front of her, Quistis and Zell eat their breakfast silently. "What's wrong?" Quistis asked suddenly, "You've been smiling to yourself all morning, and you haven't touched your coffee." Rinoa sipped the coffee, frowned a little, and then used a fire spell to heat it up again. "Nothing's wrong, Quistis." She lapsed back into silence. "Just, just trying to remember when I've felt happier." She sighed. "Last night with Squall..." She was interrupted by Zell, who upon hearing Rinoa started choking on his morning hotdogs.
It was at this time Xugh arrived on the scene, (five foot five, stocky-ish build, blue/grey eyes, short brown hair... average, average, average) and whacked the choking Zell on the back. Part of the dog flew from Zell's mouth and landed on his plate. It had barely landed by the time Zell started eating again. "Hey guys, what's happening?" Xugh asked. Rinoa yawned, before replying "Nothing Xugh."
"Hey, relax Quis" Xugh said a few minutes later after he noticed that she hadn't moved her back from the chair since he'd arrived. "You've been sitting like that for about five minutes. It can't be good for you." "And slouching like that is?" She asked pointedly. "You two," Rinoa snapped, "Do you have to argue?" Xugh hung his head and Quistis... "Come off it Rin, his irresponsible, foolish, idiotic..." "I resent that." Xugh said, hearing enough of Quistis' rant. "Like you'll every do anything that doesn't get you into trouble."
Rinoa sat back for a minute, ignoring Quistis as she dug into Xugh. Then she hit the table "I've got an idea." She received puzzled looks from Zell, who had finished his hotdogs by now, and Quistis. Xugh raised his eyebrow, "Spit it out then."
"Well... why don't you do a deal...? Xugh, you act mature and responsible," Quistis snorted at this, Rinoa continues ignoring it, "and Quistis tries to relax and chill out a bit..." Xugh shrugged in the silence that followed. "Why not?" He said after a quick think. "But, umm, how's Quis going to relax? I mean not only has she teaching, but she's been roped into the Committee. If she can relax with that going on..." He started grinning. "Why are you grinning?" Quistis asked, not really wanting to know the answer.
Squall woke in his room. As his memories came back to him, "BLOODY HELL!!" his clothes were all over the floor and he hadn't had his shower last night... and yet he didn't care. He shrugged. 'The three S's now I think...' (Shower, Shit and Shave, for those who didn't know.)
"What I'm thinking is that I cook a meal for you Quis." Xugh smiled. "My room, tonight, around seven. I'll cook a three course meal, have drinks there for you, the works. What do you say?"
**** And what is Quistis going to say?? Why hasn't Squall got a bigger part in this chapter?? Why have I rated this story an R?? Why can't I end a question in this part of the text without it having two question marks?? Will I EVER finish this story?? Answers to some, all, or indeed none of the above in the next chapter!!
