To c-kai: I couldn't view the picture on that site. Said it was down or something. I would love to see it though!!!
To Red Mage Neko: Great idea! I will be using it for sure! Thanks ^_^
This chapter will be rotating back and forth between the base and the club.
To everyone else: Glad you like it! And also, I am in a bad mood again. . . so if any of the characters get aggressive or what not, please once again forgive me. ONCE MORE was my car broken into today. I'm really getting sick of this. . . luckily though nothing was taken, and I get a special spot on campus ^_^! And then I sprained my wrist in the library catching a heavy book that was falling ::note to self: just let it fall next time:: Well enjoy! ^_^

Chaos Angel left his room to go grab some more to eat from the café, which he assumed would be empty. How very wrong he was. As he entered he knew he made a mistake. First of all, half the cadets were there, and almost everyone that had stayed behind were there as well. He sighed and went up to one of the counters to get some food and a drink, trying to ignore the noise around him.
Cloud, Squall, Tifa and Rinoa had just gotten up and were leaving together, throwing the trash in the containers by the door. They seemed to be accustomed to the place now, and were freely wandering. Angel ran into them and started walking with them, chatting happily.
"So how are you liking it here?"
"It's nice. Hard to believe it's all underground." Rinoa remarked. Angel nodded.
"Yeah. It's fucking great! No one really knows we're here. Some do, but most of the people are oblivious!" They passed by the temporary room for Squall and his people and they opened the door, letting Angelo out. Angel grinned.
"Cute! I didn't now you brought a dog with you."
"His name's Angelo. And he's my best friend, aren't you boy?" The dog barked happily, running down the hall and back again. They all laughed, except Squall, and started walking down to the training grounds.
Angelo ran into the ground barking madly and raced at Nanaki, who was standing there with Vincent, gazing out the every changing "windows." Nanaki turned to the dog and looked at him in wonder as it hopped around him.
"Angelo! You stop that! Sorry." She said as she approached. Nanaki gave a sort of shrug and turned to leave the room, Vincent following behind him.
"Hey, where you guys going?" Cloud asked. Vincent shrugged and kept walking as Nanaki turned.
"I'm a little tired, and would like to rest."
"Oh. Alright." He turned this attentions back to the group and watched as Angelo ran around in big circles.
Ebonie was walking with Tidus and Yuna again, having found them interesting, and was chatting happily, smiling the whole time. They ran into Ryu.
"Oh! Hi Ryu! This is Tidus and Yuna. Two of the new comers." Ryu looked at them with a vague interest and shrugged, walking back down the hall. Ebonie frowned for a second then turned back to her new friends, smiling.
"Is there anywhere else you would like to see?"
"What's with her?" Tidus asked, watching Ryu turn a corner.
"Oh. Sometimes she's really moody. It's best not to bother her. The cadets never learn that though. Makes her sometimes rather unpleasant to the rest of us." She shrugged, cheerful.
Daniel, Lexiter, and Jen sat at the bar, looking around rather unhappily again. Their drinks sat in front of them. "Come on guys. Don't look so down! You're going to spoil it for everyone else!"
"Fuck off." Lexiter said simply to Zuzu as she finished her drink. Zuzu frowned and left to find someone new to dance with. Reise walked up then, getting a drink for him and his new friend, grinning the whole time. She smiled and still clung to him.
"Why didn't Spike and Aeris come?"
"They had to go out. Brenton sent them on a mission. So, they decided to be their usual don't give a damn selves and went elsewhere."
"Why were we not informed of this before?" Jen said angrily. Daniel shrugged and took the other drink the bartender gave him.
"You had other things going on. Brenton sent them to Pierrespoint. They figured something was fishy, so they acted like they were going, but went somewhere else." Jen nodded and finished her glass, getting another coke.
Michael and Mal left the floor and took seats near the captains, both of them grinning and sweating.
"Whooo! It's hot in here!" Mal said, fanning herself. Lexiter raised and eyebrow and stood, shaking her head.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Feel kinda funny. Probably the heat." She left and went in search of Seifer, who was once again leaning against the end of the bar, eyes narrowed.
Mal shrugged and sipped at her coke, grinning at everyone one the floor. She watched Blade and Alex who were still having a blast, having met new people.
Michael stood without a word and went to go see Blade and Alex. Alex grinned and said something, handing Blade over to him, who didn't seem to care, as Alex returned to the bar.
"Hey everyone. Why you looking so down? Come on Dan! Cheer up." Daniel raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
From his seat in the corner, Shock watched Yuffie and Rikku, who at one point were having fun. Then the trouble started, and the boys wouldn't leave them alone after they tried to move on.
"Hey! Let me go." Yuffie demanded, throwing a punch. The stronger, taller guy grinned and caught her wrist.
"Aw, come on babe! We ain't even having fun yet!"
"Yuffie-" Rikku started, coming at the guy, but another one grabbed her waist and pulled her back, laughing.
"So your feisty, eh? Just how I like em!" Rikku tried to spin and kick at the guy, but he held her to close. The scene was too much for Shock, who had decided the girls looked remarkably like his sisters.
"Excuse me. Did you not hear them?" Shock said, stepping up to the boys. He was much taller than any of them, and they had to look up. The girls were in awe at his height but didn't know who he was. They hadn't seen him at the compound.
"Who the hell are you? Their father?"
"Do I really look old enough to be their father?"
"Then are you their brother?" He sneered. He turned to his friends then, laughing with them. Shock crossed his arms and nodded, taking a step closer.
"I am." The boys stopped laughing and looked from the girls to Shock and back again. They released their hold and the girls turned and stood next to Shock.
"Later boys." Rikku waved, grinning as they turned and ran through the crowd. The girls turned to the much taller man and smiled.
"Thanks. Are you from the compound, or whatever it is?" Shock nodded, almost tearing up at the sight of the two.
"Well, thanks." Yuffie said, and took Rikku's hand, starting to pull her away.
"Wait." They stopped and turned to him again. "If you need any help, just let me know. Name's Shock." Rikku grinned.
"I'm Rikku, and this is Yuffie." He nodded and watched as they walked away again, sighing and going back to his drink.
Daniel finished a fourth drink and hung his head. "Are you alright?" Severine asked. He shrugged.
"Not feeling that great. I think I'm going to head out."
"Are you sure you'll be alright? Maybe you're not well enough to drive." She looked at him, concerned. He shrugged and stood, almost toppling over. "Whoa! Easy there. I think I should drive you home."
"I'm set. It's not like I'm drunk or anything."
"I know. But you're obviously not well. Let's go." She took his keys and waved to Jen.
"Are you sure? I'll drive him back," she said, wanting to leave anyway.
"Nah. You stay and have fun. I'm getting kinda tired anyway. See you later!" She helped Daniel stand and walked with him to the door, keys in hand. Lex walked back over from her spot with Seifer and frowned.
"What's going on with him?"
"He's not feeling well."
"Odd. Maybe something's going around. I'm not feeling that great either, but it's just a stuffy head." Jen shrugged and finished her coke again, placing the glass on the counter. Alessa returned to the bar and ordered another beer.
"Crazy out there." She grinned, and drank half of it quickly. Jen nodded as Zell came up to her.
"So, do you want to dance?" She looked up at him as another horrible song started.
"Maybe next one. Not this shit." She spun in the chair and watched everyone having fun, Lexiter suddenly decided Seifer needed to be dragged back on the floor. He did not look pleased.
Michael was still dancing with Blade, and Alex took Alessa onto the floor shortly, Mal resting. After she finished her soda she grinned and got up, wandering over to her friends and disappearing in the fray.
The song quickly ended and a slow song came on for a change. It was an old one and Jen raised an eyebrow to listen to it.
"And now for a slower tune, to cool ya'll down a bit." The DJ said, and turned the volume up louder. A familiar beat started, somewhat cheerful sounding. Jen hung her head, hiding her face in her hand. Sypher, sitting at the other end jumped up the second he heard it, and Zuzu stopped dancing, leaving her partner and came over. It was Jen and Damon's old song. Jen started sobbing as Sypher reached her, but Zell tugged on her hand, pulling her up. She followed him sadly, tears dripping down her cheeks.
Sypher made a move towards them but Zuzu stopped him.
"Let me fucking go! Jen shouldn't be out there. Not to this song."
"Listen, I know what it is. But he's so much like Damon, let him try." Sypher glared at them on the floor and spun around throwing himself in a seat, not happy.
Jen leaned heavily on Zell, her head on his shoulder, tears rolling freely as she hummed along to the song. Zell sadly wrapped his arms around her and held her tight.
Lexiter grinned and left the floor as the song started, Seifer following, a frown on his face. "I'm not dancing anymore."
"Sure you're not." She said, winking, ignoring the pain in her head.
Lisa wandered the halls of the compound aimlessly. She searched for anyone who would be interested in talking to her, but so far no one. Everyone had gone to the club or didn't want to be bothered. She was about to give up her search when she ran into a tall man with long, beautiful black hair. She stopped and stared at him. He looked at her and nodded, walking past. She turned and watched him walking towards his room.
"Hi!" She called out, late, turning a slight shade of pink. He stopped and turned to look at her.
"Hello."
"You're one of the new people?"
"Yes."
"My name is Lisa MoonRaker."
"Vincent Valentine." She smiled at the cool sound of his voice.
"You aren't turning it already, are you?"
"Well, I was going to, seeing as there really is no one around."
"I'm around."
"This is true."
"Well, have you gotten a full tour of the compound?"
"Partial." He shrugged.
"I could show you everything if you'd like." He shrugged again.
"Alright." He said softly and walked away from the door, following her down the hall. She could barely contain her smile as the handsome man caught up to her and walked next to her.
Alex and Blade left the floor to sit at the bar and order some drinks. "So I hear your entering that tournament?"
"Yeah."
"What you using in it?"
"I was going to go for the fire chain. Surprise everyone." Alex laughed.
"Going to try a little Indiana Jones on their butts?" It was Blades turn to laugh.
"You still watch those old DVD's? Funny. I didn't think many did anymore."
"Oh no. I think we all do. If you needed help with some moves, you should watch them! Or go to that new girl, Quistis. That's her specialty weapon."
"Yeah. Daniel told me to train with Lisa. Since she uses magic, he said it would build me up."
"Yeah, that could work too."
Badguy stopped dancing with the ladies and came back to the bar for another beer. Sypher sat there glaring at the counter, so Badguy made it two. He handed one to Sypher, grinning.
"I don't drink."
"Aw, come on. Just one'll wipe all your problems away." Sypher looked at it, wrinkling his nose, but took it anyway, and sipped at it. He gagged, but drank it anyway.
"This stuff tastes like shit."
"Sypher! I'm appalled at your fucking language! Such disrespect for the greatest drink of all time?" Sypher couldn't help but laugh as he finished the drink, putting the glass down. He already started feeling a little light-headed. Badguy laughed. "You really don't drink, do you?"
"Never." Badguy finished the beer and walked away laughing.

Well, hope you liked this chapter too. Don't feel like writing more of it now. But the next chapter will most likely be the last one for the club. ^_^
Also, I will TRY to get the pairs straight, but keep in mind, there will probably be quite a few love triangles and such going on. So, if you think your character could like and OC, let me know. It would help a lot. ^_^ Enjoy!
