Lauren: Hello there, the angel from my nightmare...
BD: You guys are my nightmare...anyways sorry for not updating any time soon... but I had huge writers block and here I am... writing this in a car. (seriously I am) As for reviewers...
PasfiKStaR - Yepp... pregnant, I'm an idiot... aren't I? I don't know how I'm gonna do it! **sobs** David says hi... so does Lauren...
Yori Kiri - As I explained before, David's Version of LOZ:OOT is off. It wouldn't work. Anyways, so what if I'm a guy and thirteen! That's racist! Racism! Eh, just kidding. Ok, Angelo's a girl... and yeah I'm explaining (God help me through it) And I will do less A/N things. (A/N: I promise!)...
XxNoAngelxX - Hello, my least favorite reviewer. If you need to complain to me... as I know who you are, you can e-mail me. I think you know it.
Meteor9 - Why thank you... I hope this was worth the wait also.
BerlinBrownEyes - I did nothing to Rinoa! I swear! Ok.... maybe a couple things that would include making her watch Friend's for 24 hours, playing Go Fish, and making her watch.... David do stand up comedy! I am most evil! I don't mind Seifer and Quistis.... but to tell the truth... Zell and Quistis are a weirder couple... but I was young and foolish when I first wrote this... David: What is Black doing?
Lauren: If BerlinBrownEyes gets rights to Square Soft... he gets Rinoa...
David: But wouldn't his girlfriend be mad?
Lauren: Probably... that's why I'm allowing him to dance like that... so if he does... his girlfriend will kick Rinoa's and his ass.
David: Oh yay!
Evan'sRinoa - Um... I think you got David mad... **shows picture of David hyperventilating** Anyways, nope it's a pod... a normal... pod... not made by the government or anything like that... I wish I was born in a pod... that be cool. Your friend Evan... would this have anything to do with your pen name? Evan'sRinoa... are you his... Rin? Hmm... I wonder... or maybe Evan's a girl... or something... I don't know! Not trying to offend you! I swear it!
Liquid Marshmellow - Sorry Ren, but I need to point this out. You spelled Marshmallow wrong... heh. Sorry! Anyways, no way in hell is a better story then The Freshman! Never!

Disclaimer - I do not own Final Fantasy 8... I do own the game but not rights to it... and if anyone should own the rights, BerlinBrownEyes should! Then I'd get Rinoa! Which is uber cool!
David: Watch it Black... your girlfriend might read this...
Black: So?
Lauren: Chapter set? Then type!
A Date?

"Is something the matter, Squall?" Rinoa asked as she was fixing her necklace. Squall had just come out of the shower and was only wearing a towel around his waist, and was now looking for a pair of boxers to wear. She then fixed the laced part of her dress. She had chosen the dress that strangely resembled the one she had worn to Squall's SeeD Graduation Ball. She had to admit, the necklace did go very well with it, but it was even better now that she had Squall's ring next to hers. She looked very beautiful, her hair in a bun in the back... only to let a few strings of hair lie on the front ride side of her face. She held the rings very tightly while Squall's voice could be heard.
"Nothing... important." Squall lied. He had been thinking about the cloaked person ever since. He didn't want to tell Rinoa, or she'd get worried... or even worse; take matters into her own hands. Unfortunately Rinoa could tell he was lying.
"Alright spill it mister." Rinoa placed her hands on her hips.
"Alright...while I was in the training facility when... wait..." Squall trailed off. He sat down on his bed, towel wrapped tightly around his waist so it wouldn't fall off. "Promise you won't do anything stupid?" Rinoa looked shocked at his question.
"Since when have I ever done anything stupid?" Rinoa asked. Squall only rolled his eyes.
"Whatever."
"Anyways, continue."
"Alright I was attacked..."
"Well, you're in the training facility."
"...By a cloaked figure... my height but I didn't see his face."
"Oh... well I'm sure you kicked his..."
"On the contrary, he kicked mine."
"Really now, did you guys fight?"
"No, he threw an Ultima spell at me and when I could see again... he was gone."
"So you're ass wasn't kicked."
"Whatever."
"Well, c'mon get ready!" Rinoa said pushing Squall to his dresser and then quickly walked out to go find Quistis. She needed to talk to her.
Back in the room, Squall shook his head as he got a weird thought. 'Could that cloaked person be Seifer?' He thought.
"Nah." (A/N: I highly doubt he'd ever say that...)
**
"So, I got a question..." Selphie asked while in her seat. Irvine was spraying his cologne on himself when Selphie spoke. He walked into the kitchen where Selphie was. She was watching some television program while snacking on some chips. He took the bag and put it in the pantry.
"Shoot, and don't eat... we're going out remember?" Irvine walked over and sat down next to Selphie. Selphie took offense to Irvine's words and stood up.
"I think I would!" Selphie said. She stood up to show her blue strapless dress. It was a very nice dress indeed, and Irvine could do nothing but gap his mouth. She turned around revealing a small zipper. "It took me an hour to get this on!" Irvine pulled the zipper a bit down.
"And it takes three seconds to take it off..." Irvine said under his breath, as if he wanted only Selphie to hear. She turned around to stop Irvine from undoing the zipper.
"Not now Irvine..." Irvine let out a sigh. "Maybe later..." Irvine grinned gleefully. "Now, my question is... why does Zell like Quistis?"
"Why not?"
"Well, I always had the idea that he liked the pigtail girl... you know from the library."
"Yeah... Zell thought he did to."
"Soo, please tell me what's the scoop?" Selphie asked, showing her puppy eyes. Irvine gave in.
"Zell thinks she's the most beautiful thing he's ever seen... she isn't bad I'll admit." Selphie frowned. "Hey, you're more beautiful trust me... or I'd be going after her... right?" Selphie nodded.
"Anyways, he adores her leadership skills, especially during that Galbadian attack..." Irvine stated. "And that's pretty much why he's in love with her..." He put his head on his hand and leaned into it. "Hey, why'd you ask anyways?"
"I saw them kiss two nights ago... so did Rinoa."
"So, he did score..."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing!"
**
"Quisty!" Rinoa yelled trying to run in her high heel shoes, not to mention her dress. 'Damn... clothes...' she thought. Quistis was walking her way down the hall to Zell's dorm (A/N: All the woman love to go to their men's dorm, eh?)
"Hm?"
"I need to talk to you... alone." Quistis nodded and followed Rinoa to the cafeteria. "Here... we are..."
"Why do you need to talk to me?" Rinoa now noticed what lied underneath Quistis' dark black coat. Quistis was wearing a velvet red dress, it was strapless and looked very nice. 'Musta cost a fortuneeeeeee,' Rinoa thought. It was also, a very revealing dress.
"Why are you so... dressed up?" Rinoa asked her.
"We're all going out on a date." Quistis answered back. "Remember?" Quistis took out her red lipstick and used it on her lips.
"Planning on kissing anyone?" Quistis paused.
"...No, why?" Quistis lied.
"I saw that kiss..." Rinoa replied. Quistis placed her lipstick on the table and looked at Rinoa.
"So?"
"Since when did you like Zell?"
"That's none of your business."
"I am nosy so yes it is!"
"Fine, for a while now."
"Why? We always thought you... well more Zell, Selphie, and even Squall thought you were after Seifer."
"Why'd they think that?"
"The way you looked at him... same way you look at Zell."
"Well, wasn't Seifer your boyfriend at the time?"
"He was, but he could've done anything... I was clueless about what he did."
"Ah..." Quistis replied thoughtfully. She had liked Seifer for a while, but she never knew he had a girlfriend at the time...
"So why do you like him?" Rinoa asked, breaking Quistis' thoughts.
"Who?" Quistis asked in return.
"Zell!"
"I guess it's the fact that he always makes me laugh... I always enjoy being around him... even though he does act stupid sometimes..." Quistis replied. "Also, I have to admit... he's pretty cute." She looked at Rinoa who had her elbows on the table, and had her hands holding her head up.
"No comment... I am not going to say anything that you could use as blackmail against me." Rinoa replied, thinking that was what Quistis had thought.
"Me?" Qustis lied. "I would never." She smirked and Rinoa smiled. They both got up and finished getting ready for the date.
**
"Wow... sure is a beauty." Irvine said as he let out a whistle. Him being the last one getting into the limo, had to say something.
"Thank you, sir." The driver said. He closed the door as soon as Irvine sat down.
They all chatted in the limo until it arrived to Esthar's finest restaurant. The Heaven's Banquet. (A/N: It's not in the game guys... so don't go looking.) The men got out of the limo first, and then Squall helped Rinoa out gently and guided her to the entrance. Zell then helped Quistis out and held her hand as they entered the restaurant. Irvine, being third helped Selphie out and guided her in, trying to be careful not to look at any other girls. When they entered, all but Squall were amazed. Squall had been here once, with President Laguna... his so called father. Laguna had invited him to dine as he wanted to get to know Squall. But, Squall didn't talk much... and he tried avoiding Laguna as much as he could. The only reason he went was because Rinoa pleaded for him to.
**
"Hello, my name is Miles and I shall be your waiter this evening." The waiter said. "May I get you something to drink?"
"Um... I'll have water." Rinoa said not looking from the menu.
"I'll also have water." Quistis said.
"I'll have a coke." Irvine said.
"Oh! Me too!" Selphie chirped.
"I guess I'll have water to..." Squall said quietly.
"I'll have milk!" Zell said. Everyone stared at him. "Oh, fine... a coke then please." The waiter walked off with their orders and they started conversing.
"So, Squall... what did Cid want with you last night?" Irvine asked.
"Well, he doesn't want me telling you... but I guess I will." Squall said. Everyone became quiet. "He promoted me... to commander of Balamb Garden."
"Whoa... that's huge dude!" Zell said. "Congratulations!" Everyone congratulated Squall as he crossed his arms.
"Whatever." He replied. Everyone laughed quietly. Squall eyed Rinoa who seemed to understand what he was thinking.
"Excuse me, everyone." Rinoa stood up, as did Squall. He placed his hands on her arms. "I have an important announcement." The table became silent once again.
"I am..."
**
"PREGNANT!?" General Caraway roared, as he read the letter. He buzzed the intercom. "Patricia!"
"Sir?"
"Schedule a train ticket to Balamb as soon as possible!" Caraway yelled.
"Right away, sir." The intercom replied.
Caraway continued to read on the letter. "I will propose to your daughter, this Saturday... what's today?" He looked at his calendar. "SATURDAY!" He went back to the letter angrily.
"... Please sir... blah blah... what's this? I love your daughter very much... and I will watch her over, and protect her with my life... oh you better son... you better."
**
"You're what...?" Zell flicked his ear to make sure his hearing was good.
"I'm pregnant..." Rinoa said happily. Quistis and Selphie both immediately stood up and hugged Rinoa tightly.
"Congratulations!" They both yelled cheerfully.
"Yep, congrats Rinoa." Irvine said with a smile.
"Congratul- oh, do I smell hot dogs?" Zell lifted his nose into the air and sniffed. He turned around and saw a man begin eating a hot dog. "Hot... dog..."
"Uh... Zell?" Quistis asked now sitting. "You're... um... drooling..." Everyone besides Quistis and Zell laughed. Quistis took her napkin and wiped Zell's mouth. "Honestly, you're a child..." Selphie sat down, while Rinoa and Squall still stood up. Squall wouldn't let go of Rinoa.
"Squall...?" Rinoa asked.
"Rinoa... there's something I need to ask you..." Squall said quietly. The whole table looked intently on the two. Rinoa looked up to Squall's face as he smiled. Squall let go of Rinoa's arms and knelt on one leg. He took something out of his pocket. When Rinoa caught sight of what it was, she began tearing.
"Rinoa Julia Heartily... will you..." Squall trailed off as he opened the box, revealing the ring he had bought. "...marry me?" Rinoa burst into tears. There was a moment of silence, with the exception of Rinoa's crying.
"Yes... yes Squall... I will!" Squall got up and hugged her tightly and kissed her on the lips. He then took her hand, and slid the ring onto her ring finger. She then hugged him tightly once more, and kissed him passionately. Squall was never one to kiss in public... but this time, there was an exception. Everyone in the room clapped and cheered for the couple.
**
"Well?" A shadow asked.
"I need to wait... when least Squall expects it..." The cloaked figure trailed off.
"His wedding..."
"Of course... it's the perfect plan." The cloaked figure took of his hood and revealed a blond man with a scar running across the top of his nose.
"And your fight with Squall?"
"I can destroy him easily if I wanted to." The man replied.
"And you didn't, why?"
"He's the one true person I can call a rival..." The man stated. "... Until he is as strong as I am... I shall then try to destroy him... until then..."
"Do as you please..." The shadow started saying. "... But bring that girl to me alive Seifer!"
"Yes, milord."
