hi, this is Kairi and i'm happy to report that Quistis is back and so is our baby brother Bobby!(he's a year old!) well, we don't own FINAL FANTASY VIII, please R&R!

"There's nothing to talk about!" Laguna exclaimed over the music, "What do you mean there's nothing to talk about?! Look all around you, there are strippers here and you're supposed to be the president of Ester!" Squall exclaimed. "Uh-huh." Laguna replied, a lost gaze on his face. "What are you looking at, a stripper?" Squall asked and looked in the same direction as Laguna, and let's when he saw Rinoa sliding down the strippers pole in only her bra and panties. Squall's face went red as he ran over to the pole.

Meanwhile, Irvine was making conversation with some strippers, "Wow, so you're really a black pimp but you put on this disguise so no one would find you?" one asked. "Of course ladies, I'm a p.i.m.p., word to your mother son." he replied and threw up the Westside sign again. Then a black stripper walked over to Irvine, "You ain't no pimp, you just some white boy who listens to too much Eminem and 50 Cent!" she began, "Trick!" Irvine started, "Don't make me raise my hand to you woman!" he exclaimed. Just then Quistis saw Irvine and ran over to him, "Irvine, have you seen any sign of Rinoa yet?" she asked. Irvine didn't answer right away, and Quistis looked all the strippers over. "So who are your friends Irvine?" she asked, "We work for pimp-daddy-Irvine, he's actually a black man who had to put on this disguise so the white man wouldn't find out he's a black soul brother!" one stripper said. "Irvine, why are you telling these gullible strippers that you're black, you're as white as my teeth!" Quistis exclaimed grabbing him by his ear and pulling him away from the other strippers. "Ewwww! What was that for, why you always playa hatin'?" Irvine asked. "Listen PLAYER!" Quistis began, pulling Irvine down to her height, "We've gotta find Rinoa and get out of here before Laguna spots us!" she said. "Word dawg, I'll go look for that trick and we'll be out word!" he exclaimed. "Quistis squeezed his ear even tighter. "I mean, I'll help too!" he said, Quistis smiled and let him go. "Trick." Irvine mumbled.

Selphie looked around, "I still can't find Rinoa anywhere, maybe she left." she said putting her hands on her hips. "Hey sweet thang!" a drunk politician started, grabbing Selphie's arm. "Um, hello, I'm Selphie, what's your name?" she asked nervously. Without a saying a word, the politician pulled Selphie over to a table covered in drinks and sat her down in one of the chairs. "We're gonna play a little game sugar." he began, "It's Selphie." she reminded him, "Whoever can drink the most wins five-hundred gil, and if you win I'll split it with ya Semen." he said, "Selphie!" she countered. "Ready, set, go!" someone shouted and all the politicians around her began to drink, "What do I do?" she asked. "Drink!" he said, Selphie picked up a glass and began to drink. "It tastes bad!" she exclaimed, "Just drink!" the politician replied, she uneasily shrugged and began to chug down more shots of whiskey.

"Hey Miss stripper?" Zell started, "What is it honey?" she asked dancing still. "Well, I was just wondering, will you marry me? Everyone else thinks I'm too ugly to be with, but you like me for who I am, and mom always said that's what really matters." Zell said. The stripper stopped dancing, "What makes you think that I'm any different? You know what, you can keep your gil kid, you're crazy." she said, and walked away. Zell dropped to his knees, "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!" he exclaimed, "I AM UNLOVED AND HIDEOUS, NO ONE LOVES ME!!!!! I WISH I WERE NOW I BLOCK OF CHEESE SO SOMEONE WOULD EAT ME!!!! I FEEL SO IGNORANT FOR ASKING A STRIPPER TO MARRY ME!!! WHY ME?????!!!! WHY ALWAYS ME??!!! WHAT DID I DO TO DESERVE THIS!!!!" Zell said.

Squall made his way closer and closer to the middle of the floor where the pole was, and when he finally got to the middle, he was not happy! "Rinoa! What are you doing?!" he asked. "Oh, hi Squall! They said that I was supposed to dance on this pole and take off my clothes, but here's the best part, they give me gil for it!" Rinoa giggled. "Are you insane?! Rinoa, you have to get out of here, these guys are all married, this is wrong Rinoa." Squall said, and with that he grabbed Rinoa and pulled her off the stage. "Hey buddy put her back!" one politician yelled grabbing Squall by his shoulder. Squall punched him in the nose, "She's a minor pal, just like your daughter." Squall replied, spiting on the man. "Hurray for Squall!" Rinoa cheered, bouncing up and down. Squall pulled Rinoa over to where Laguna was, "You were looking at my girlfriend?!" he asked. "Well that wouldn't be right to say, that's past tense and I'm still looking at her, so technically-" Squall punched Laguna in the face and Laguna fell to the floor. "Come on Rinoa, we're leaving." Squall said. "Can we go to Candy Land! I love candy, the czar of Mexico only has old people candy around here." she said. "I was thinking more like your dad's house." Squall said. "Yippee! My daddy can buy us some new people candy, then we can go to my room and make out!" she cheered. Squall didn't reply to what she said, no one usually did when she rambled on like that. "Come one!" she exclaimed dragging Squall by his jacket, but just as she was, she tripped over the power cord. "Oh yeah, I forgot the signal!" Squall exclaimed. "Who turned off the damn lights?!" an angry politician asked. The lights came on, then off, on, then off again. "Rinoa! Stop screwing around with the lights and let's go!" Squall exclaimed. "OK!" she said getting up and Squall took her by the arm and drug her out of the office.

Selphie swallowed hard, the room looked like it was spinning out of control. "Wow, where am I?" she asked. "We won doll face!" the politician said, looming over Selphie holding five-hundred gil in his hands. "Here you go, a deal's a deal!" he said throwing the gil onto her face. "Uhhh, suddenly I don't feel so good!" she said. Just then, Quistis and Irvine ran over to her, "Selphie, Selphie are you alright?!" Quistis asked. "Uhh, I'm fine I guess." she said letting Irvine and Quistis pick her up, "Who's hand is that?" Quistis asked, "Sorry," Irvne muttered. "Well come on, Squall flashed the signal, we've gotta go find Zell and get out of here, if Laguna finds us-" " He already knows we're here." Squall said. "Squall! Rinoa..." Irvine said coolly, "But how does he know?" Quistis asked. "Easy, I just socked him in his jaw." Squall replied, "You what?!" Quistis asked him, "Yeah, he-" Quistis punched Squall in the eye, "How could you?! He's the president of Ester, and you had to go and punch him, now where are we going to sleep tonight, because I've got news for ya, I'm not sleeping in the Raganork!" she said. "Well actually we're going to Rinoa's house." he said stiffly, "Wow, Rinoa's loaded! But what a minute, I thought General Caraway didn't like you." Irvine said as Squall got up. "He doesn't, but I've got his daughter, so he'll have to let us stay." Squall said proudly. "Oooo! Can we say that if he doesn't let us in then I'll rape Rinoa?!" Irvine asked happily. "No!" Quistis and Squall said in unison, "Can I say that I'll take graphic pictures of her body?" Irvine asked. "NO!" they said even louder, "OOO!!! Can we say that my dad'll never see me again if he doesn't let you guys stay?!" Rinoa suggested. "NO!" Irvine, Selphie, Quistis and Squall all said together.

"Well here we are!" Squall said as the five of them pulled up in front of General Caraway's mansion, "Ohmygosh! I just remembered something, we left Zell in Ester!" Selphie exclaimed. "That guy needs to learn how to loosen up, I think it'll be good for him to hang out with such a pimp guy like Laguna--Westside!" Irvine said throwing up the gang sign. "I said cut that out!" Quistis said punching him in the face, "You're white-deal with it!" Quistis said as they pulled up into General Caraway's garage, "Brrr, it's cold out here!" Rinoa said shivering, "Maybe because you're only in your underwear hun." Quistis said. "Nah! That couldn't be!" Rinoa smiled. "I will kill her some day, I'll kill them all someday." Quistis muttered to herself. Everyone got out of the car and Rinoa ran up to the door step and rang the door bell. "Daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy! Come on open up, it's me, Rinoa!" she said as she repeatedly rang the bell. Finally General Caraway answered, "Rinoa honey, I'm so glad you're back." he said smiling, but then he looked down at her. "Rinoa! What on earth are you doing in your underwear?!" he asked. "Oh daddy, don't freak out, it's a long story, but can Squall and his friends stay here a couple days with us, Squall got into this big fight with the czar of Mexico, so now we need somewhere to stay." she explained while everyone walked in. General Caraway shut the door, "Well of course they can." the general smiled. "Thanks General Caraway." Squall said putting his hand on General Caraways shoulder, "Don't push it." General Caraway replied hatefully taking Squalls hand off of his shoulder. "Rinoa honey why don't you go and get dressed, I'll have the maids prepare dinner." her father warmly smiled. "OK daddy." Rinoa said kissing him on the cheek and giving him a hug. "Told ya he didn't like you." Irvine whispered to Squall. "Shut up." Squall replied.

"Well do make yourselves at home, I'll help the maids prepare dinner." General Caraway said and briskly walked out of the room. Everyone finally relaxed, "Sigh!" "You know, I'm startin' to think that Caraway is a fag." Irvine said lazily placing himself on the arm chair. "What do you mean he's a fag? If he is, then how is Rinoa here?" Selphie asked. "I mean think about it, when Rinoa hugged him, didn't even look at her butt, and now he's going to help 'prepare' dinner, and he 'briskly' walked out of the room, come on, that guy has 'fag' written all across his forehead." Irvine said. "Well I'm gonna go check this place out, I've always wanted to know how the rich and famous live." Quistis said, and with that she left the room as well. "Yeah, this is boring, I think I'll go follow Quistis." Selphie said, and she left too. "I'm gonna check some stuff out with this 'Caraway' guy, if that's even his real name." Irvine said, and he left too. Squall sighed, "They're all hopeless." he said, "Well I'd better go find Rinoa before she kills herself." Squall said and he left the room too.

Rinoa was dressed and in her mothers old room, going through photo albums, reading letters, looking at pieces of paper. "Um, hey Rinoa, did I come at a bad time?" Squall asked. "No, actually you came at the perfect time." she said in her same cheerful voice. Squall walked over to where she was and sat down beside her, "You know, I think my mom knows the czar of Mexico, because this isn't daddy's name, and I remember one time that Selphie told me that when Ellone sent you guys to see the czar of Mexico's past, that you guys saw my mom, and he was talking to her." Rinoa started, showing Squall a piece of paper that said Laguna, and it had a kiss on it. "I've also found this." she said, showing Squall numerous pictures of Julia and Laguna. "I don't believe this," Squall said looking through the pictures, "I can't believe him!" he said throwing the pictures. "Squall, it's alright." Rinoa said trying to comfort him, "I can't believe he'd do this to mom, after all these years! If he's the reason that Raine died I swear I'll kill 'em!" Squall said. "What do you mean 'mom'?" Rinoa asked. Squall looked over to her, "I thought the princess of New Zealand was the czar of Mexico's wife, how can she be your mom?" Rinoa asked standing up. "Rinoa, what the czar of Mexico-I mean-what Laguna was trying to tell us was that he's my father." Squall said standing up as well. "But, why did he put you in the orphanage then?" she innocently asked. "I don't know yet," Squall started, sitting down, "But I think I do now." he said closing his eyes. Rinoa looked at the pictures, then to Squall, then the pictures, and back to Squall. A large smile overtook Rinoa's face, then she screamed with joy, "What's wrong?!" Squall asked standing up. Rinoa grabbed his hands and began to dance around with in a circle, "Ohmygosh! Don't you know what this all means?! You're dad was with my mom, and he was with your mom too!" she started. "Don't remind me." Squall muttered under his breath, "Squall." Rinoa said stopping, "We're TWINS!" she exclaimed.

"What?!" Squall started in shook, he let go of Rinoa's hands, "Rinoa, are you on acid?!" he asked. "Of course not twin." she replied, Squall grabbed her face, and looked deeply into her eyes. "Rinoa, I want you to repeat after me." he began, and Rinoa nodded very quickly. "Squall" "Squall" "Is not" "Is my twin!" she exclaimed, jumping up and down singing "Twin-Twin-Twin!". Squall caught her by the head and covered her mouth. "Rinoa, I want you to listen very carefully to me alright?" he slowly asked. Rinoa nodded very quickly. "Now, I'm going to let go of your mouth, and when I do, do you promise not to talk until I tell you to?" he asked. She nodded, "Are you?" he asked once more, then she sadly shook her head no. "OK then, Rinoa, I'm not your twin, we aren't even related because the last time Laguna ever saw your mom was five years before any of us were born, alright?" Squall said, and Rinoa nodded, "so that's impossible for us to be twins, alright?" he asked, Rinoa sadly nodded and Squall let go of her mouth. "Now come on, dinner's almost ready." he said putting his arm around Rinoa, and they left the room.

Everyone but Squall, Rinoa and Irvine waited impatiently in the dinning room, they were all seated and ready to eat dinner, "Where are those three?!" Quistis started, "Dinner's getting cold!". "Yeah, and I'm hungry!" Selphie weakly moaned. Then, Squall and Rinoa walked, "Sorry we're late." he said. "You'd better be, now sit down!" Quistis said angrily. "Where's pimp-daddy-Irvine?" Rinoa asked looking around. "One, Rinoa, Irvine is not a pimp, we will never be a pimp, and two, don't call him 'pimp-daddy' that only encourages him to be a-" before Quistis could finish her sentence, Irvine ran into the dinning room. "Sorry I'm late, I just got through checking General Caraway's room for porn magazine's, did you know he doesn't have any?" he asked. Everyone, INCLUDING General Caraway turned to look at Irvine, "Oops." he said. Quistis shook her head, Squall put one hand over his eyes, Selphie put her head on the dinning room table, and Rinoa looked around in confusion, "Daddy, what's a 'porn' magazine?" she asked.
