Chapter 3: Is it "Pick On Seifer Day"?
Squall and Quistis finished putting Zell to bed and made sure all the Cadets made it back to their dorms. Quistis looked up as they walked out to the promenade. The night sky was beautiful and majestic as the stars shimmered radiating the beauty of the garden.
"You know Squall, I'd say what a beautiful night it was if we didn't have such a shitty day." She said half jokingly, but was upset by what happened. Quistis could see a smile creep up on his face. It had been a while since he had last moved those muscles in a positive direction. His life had been a living Hell the past few weeks since the group had saved the world......past, present and future.
"Quistis." He said taking her completely by surprise, as he usually doesn't call out her name or talk very much.
"Yes Squall?"
He gave out a sigh as he collected his thoughts.
"I don't...like to talk about this, but Rinoa did a great deal to have me be more open." He chuckled a bit. It kind of scaring Quistis to see Squall like this. He continued.
"Now that she's gone, I've felt an emptiness. I mean I'm happy that she is out of my life. She's made me miserable because I could not talk to her, she left without even paying respects to Irvine and quite frankly her dog was starting piss me off to no end."
He rambled on about all of Rinoa's problems and the list seemed to go on and on. Quistis just followed listening intently. It was amusing really. It was almost as if Squall was beginning to act like Rinoa. Could it be that Squall has truly changed? When he was saying whatever, was he really thinking all of this? All this time, was he really a whiner? Quistis giggled.
"This isn't funny Quis, The bitch barked at me all the time.....the dog was bad too." His last statement made her laugh out loud. She stopped in the little area beside the quad.
"Quis, this really isn't funny." He said, but seeing as how Quistis was laughing uncontrollably, he too began to laugh. "Yeah it is funny" He said between laughs. Quistis couldn't remember if she had ever seen Squall laugh this hard.....come to think of it, she couldn't remember if she had ever seen him laugh. She stared at Squall for a moment intently nibbling on her bottom lip. Squall began to notice that something was going on in Quistis's head.
"What?" Was all he could say when suddenly Quistis pushed him up against a wall.
"OWW! Quis, are you insa....." He was cut short when her lips meet with his. His eyes widened in shock. He began to feel numerous sensations all at once. Her lips were as smooth as satin pressing up against his. The scent of her hair filled his nose with the aroma of wild flowers, and as she slipped her tongue into his mouth, He could taste strawberries. Maybe it was what she had for lunch. He thought. It was amazing, he thought, never had he felt this way around Quistis. He stiffened up a bit because there was a sudden tightness in his crotch. Just then as Squall was about to get comfortable with kissing Quistis and all, there was a voice from out in the distance.
"Excuse me, but there are people MOURNING here!!" Selphie shouted out a little disturbed by what she just saw. Squall broke from Quistis and dashed toward Selphie, leaving Quistis aloneto ponder what she just did.
"Selphie!....I was looking for you." He said with flushed cheeks.
"I'm sure you were....I'm sure you were." She gave him an evil eye. "Are you also happy to see me?" She said pointing below his waist. He looked down, and his face became deep red.
"So um is there anything I can um...do for you?" He asked hoping for his "problem" to disappear.
"First of all, you can get that out of my face." She points at his crotch almost touching his participle. He jumped back just in time. "And second, you can go find Seifer and tell him I want to speak to him."
He looked at Selphie, then at Quistis who was blushing horribly. "Right, I'll get on the intercom with um.....tha.." He said as he tripped over a planter. Selphie stifled her giggles as Squall jumped up and dashed off. Quistis went over and sat next to Selphie, who was staring at her quite closely now.
"You look well Selphie" Quistis said still flushed but regaining composure.
"Pardon?....I can here you from cloud 9. Come on back to the garden so we can talk." She giggled.

The monster let out a bellowing roar as it stepped closer to Seifer. The ground shook with every step it took. Sweat poured from Seifer's brow from his countless hours of destroying monsters. This one was different though, a lot tougher than any other. It could not be described by name, but by features alone. It could be imagined that this one had the face of both a T-Rexaur, and that of a Wendigo. It had the powerful legs and tail of the mighty T-Rexaur with the upper body strength and long, strong arms of the powerful Wendigo. It had the strengths of both creatures without their weaknesses. How this creature came to being is unknown, but what is known is that none of the cadets at the garden have been able to beat it. Squall and Seifer included.
"Alright beast, let's have another go at this." Seifer had failed time in and time out to beat this monster....even really hurt it. Perhaps it was because of the monster's intelligence. It rivaled that of even geniuses.
"Ah young Seifer Almasy...again." It said with a British accent shaking his head. "Well, do you have the things I asked for?" It asked politely. Seifer nodded and pulled three disks from his jacket.
"The complete works of Shakespeare, Handle's Messiah in four different languages, and the last three seasons of Friends." He tossed them onto the counsel and takes off his jacket. The creature gave him a wide toothy grin.
"I love that Joey Tribianni."
Seifer loaded his gunblade. "You can watch it later beast, we've got a score to settle."
"I don't understand Almasy, why do you want to beat me so badly?" The creature showed a sign of true concern. It didn't want to hurt Seifer or even fight anyone at all.
"Quit talking and fight me already!" His impatience showed. The creature bellowed out a roar that could make most women and Zell jump out of their skins screaming. It whipped it's tail across Seifer's body sending him flying into the wall. The creature charged Seifer on the intent of punching him through the wall he slammed into. Seifer peeked his eyes open letting out a groan, but they soon widened as a fist came closing down on him. He closed his eyes expecting impending doom when the monster just stopped frozen in it's tracks. Edea's stop spell was quite strong to stop the insidious beast. Seifer looked at Edea in distaste.
"Damnit! Matron, what the HFIL are you doi..." Seifer could not finish his statement, because Edea slapped him red in the face. She gave him an evil eye, which was a little more than he could bear.
"Never disrespect me again, or you'll begin to appreciate the deep fryers because you'll be cleaning em a lot."
"He hung his head. "Sorry Matron, it won't happen again."
"Why weren't you at Irvine's funeral?" She inquired.
"It slipped my mind." It was a lie, but the truth would have hurt his pride.
"That's not good enough Seifer. I want the truth!" She demanded.
"YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!" He screamed. She just looked at him disgusted. "Sorry Matron. Look, what do you want from me?"
"Selphie was looking for you and she needs comforting."
Seifer looked at Edea. "From me?"
She nodded. "From you."
He thought for a moment. Why would she want comforting from me? I mean she's cute and all, but why me?
"Why me?" He asked
"I don't know, but you better do it." she demanded.
"I will think about it." He waved his finger in the air. "NOOOO promises"
He grabbed his sword and jacket when the intercom bell tolled.
"Seifer Almasy to the Quad. I repeat, Seifer Almasy to the Quad. Please see Selphie immediately. That is all." The voice heard was Squall's.
"Well, now it's an order from Commander Squall. I'm glad you thought it over." she said smiling.
He threw his hands up into the air in defeat. "Is it "Pick On Seifer Day" Today?" He began to move towards the exit. "Fine! But NOOOOOOOOOOOO Promises!!......FUCK!" He left the area.
Edea laughed out loud. Suddenly, the stop spell wore off and the beast struck the wall with it's fist causing quite a ruckus.
"OWWWW!!!!! That really hurt!!" It screamed. She turned around surprised.
"You just spoke!" she proclaimed.
It rolled it's eyes. "That stop spell gave me a horrid headache."
"I'm sorry my good.....monster, but you were gonna hurt Seifer and I needed to talk to him." she replied politely.
"My dear, without Mr. Almasy, I would not be able to expand my mind to all different horizons. Without him, I could not give my brain the depth or the color needed to see beauty as that of this garden or how the light shines down on your beautiful hair , giving each strand it's place to shine."
Her jaw dropped. "I'm Edea Kramer" She said offering her hand to the creature. It awkwardly shook her hand with it's tail.
"Please, Mrs. Kramer, join me in watching Friends." He led her to his viewer. "Did you know Ross thought he and Rachel were on a "break"?

Author's note: Alright alright....It's 3:00 AM, I'm tired. The monster was in my mind to begin with, but I never expected it to go as far as it did and I was having a shitload of fun. Again reviews are always welcome. If you liked the chapter tell me about it. Mary, you perv....I mean I love you ^-^. Ten, you smell x_x.....poor Katie.
