Chapter 3
[Note: Just to let you know, I have never played Final Fantasy VIII, but I plan to.] [Another Note: Sai does not wear that strange skirt anymore, she wears pants! Alright, no more notes now.]
They went there, there, and everywhere it seemed. To Sai and Fujin at least. When it looked like the sea of stores had ended, another would pop up.
"(How big is this damned mall anyway?!)" that thought went through the duo's mind as they followed their girlfriends.
The two obviously had no desire to actually shop, so they got stuck with carrying the mountain of bags that were dumped on them.
"Whew!" Quistis said as she plopped onto a nearby bench.
"You said it" Kaede sat on the bench across from her.
They turned their heads at the other two, who kinda looked like they were glaring at each other.
"Um...What're you guys doing?" They said in unison.
Fujin didn't even bother to look at them, "STARING CONTEST"
"She's pretty good" Sai struggled not to blink.
"Of course, she won the staring competition last year at the Garden"
"Staring competition?" Kaede questioned.
"I'm not kidding. It got boring there, so they held that to bring excitement. They said that they did it in honor of me" Quistis snorted.
"How exactly?" Kaede was getting interested now.
"They wanted to see which contestant could stare at me the longest" She almost laughed.
"I lose" Sai announced as she rubbed her eyes.
"Wow...How long did Fujin stare at you?"
"Two days straight" Quistis held up two fingers.
"I can see how" Sai said as she saw that Fujin was now ogling Quistis, with a smile on her face.
"IRRESISTIBLE" Fujin mumbled.
Quistis blushed, "You know it, sweetie"
"That's sweet" Kaede commented as she held onto Sai's arm with contentment.
Fujin and Sai groaned inwardly as they stood up, taking the bags with them.
"My goodness, look at the time" Kaede said as she glanced at the watch on Sai's wrist.
"It is pretty late" Quistis agreed.
"How about we do this again sometime?" Kaede offered.
"That would be great" Quifu started to walk in the opposite direction, "See you later!"
Both Kaede and Sai waved goodbye to them.
"Now, that wasn't so bad, was it?" Kaede patted her back.
Sai just stared at her.
"KOS-MOS, what can you tell me about this area?"
"I sense no danger here, but there is a 30.9998 percent chance of rain as of now."
Shion Uzuki sighed, she didn't have the slightest idea of where they were, "Thanks...I guess"
If that wasn't bad enough, KOS-MOS still had to be repaired from where the Gnosis had kicked her ass.
KOS-MOS started to twitch strangely, disrupting Shion from her thoughts.
Sigh, "Need to fix that"
Started to foam at the mouth.
She sighed louder, "And that"
Her arm disconnected itself.
"My external appearance is down 20 percent, Shion I need to be cleaned"
"Dammit!" she cursed.
"Melissa, I've been thinking" Tessa said suddenly.
"Hmm?" Melissa was helping her sew her costume.
"You've been struggling for the past few days, and I feel like I haven't given you the credit you deserve" Tessa hung her head.
"Nonsense" she muttered.
She shook her head, "No, I haven't shown a drop of sympathy for you yet!"
"Huh?"
Tessa smiled, "And I've decided to make it up to you"
"Wha?..."
And with that Tessa stripped down to her skivvies and yanked on her collar of her shirt.
"C'mere stranger!" then she proceeded to pounce on Melissa.
"Whoa!" Melissa yelled as shot up from her sleep.
"That must have been some dream you had" her captain said from her spot in front of a sewing machine.
"I guess so" she raised her hand to scratch her head, but found it handcuffed to the railing of the couch.
"Evidently, we need to take care of that drinking problem of yours as well, Sergeant- Major Mao."
"Aw man" Melissa knew that the tone she spoke with, meant trouble, "(First my cigs, now my booze! Man...the things I do for love...)"
[Note: I didn't know what to do with them at the mall, because I hate shopping. Anyway, goodnight!]
