"Ah, Instructor Trepe!" Irvine stood up from his chair and welcomed Quistis by letting her sit on his. He transferred on the seat closer to Selphie and eagerly leaned forward. "So, did you do it?" he asked.

"Yes, I did."

Everyone looked at her with wide eyes.

"What did you do?" Selphie asked excitedly. "Come on, tell us all the juicy details!"

"Relax, Selphie," Quistis said, smiling. "It wasn't all that juicy, but I think I got him."

"Okay, tell us every word," Rinoa said.

"Ooh, I hope it's enjoyable!" Zell said, dropping the hotdog he was about to stuff in his mouth on his plate and looked intently on Quistis.

"Spill it out, Quistis," Irvine said.

Quistis looked around at their faces and sighed. "Fine," she finally agreed. "I humiliated him in front of his disciplinary committee friends."

"How?"

"I told them a fake story about him when he was still small."

"And what story is this?"

"That he had a crush on me and that he pooped in his pants."

"What?"

"Oh, and the best part, I pushed him in the pond in the training center!"

"You what?"

"Not before I seduced him!"

"You seduced him?"

"Well, kind of."

"Wait a minute!" Irvine held up his hands. "You said he pooped in his pants when he was a kid?"

Quistis blinked at his disbelieving tone. "Why, what's wrong with that?" she asked him.

"That is totally lame!" Irvine blurted out.

Quistis' jaw dropped open. "Lame?" she repeated. "He was completely humiliated!"

"Yeah, but any kid could have pooped in his pants!" Irvine pointed out. "That's the nature of children, they do stupid things such as pooping in their underwear!"

Quistis gaped at him. Now that he mentioned it, her joke on Seifer turned out to be so low. She bit her lip and laughed goofily.

"But you said you seduced him before you pushed him in the pond, right?" Irvine asked her.

She nodded immediately.

"Well, that wasn't so bad," he said. "What did you exactly do?"

"I came close to him, hugged him and pretended to kiss him," Quistis replied. "And when our lips almost touched, I pushed him to the pond."

"That was great, Quistis!" Selphie cheered and applauded for Quistis.

Quistis smiled. "Thank you," she said.

"At least the second one's better," Zell said, picking up his hotdog again.

"Try better next time, Quisty," Irvine said.

"I will," Quistis said. "Exactly how many pranks do I have to do?"

"When you feel it's still not enough, continue as long as you want," Rinoa said. "And I think it'll last forever."

"You should take advantage of this activity, Quisty," Selphie advised. "Then you can get back at that meanie and you both will be even! Oh, if only I was the one who got him, he'll wish he was never born!"

"Don't talk like that, Selph," Irvine said, pulling Selphie close to him.

"Why don't you two get a room?" Zell suggested to them.

Quistis rolled her eyes and stood up. "I have to go now, guys! I still have to do something important."

"All right," Rinoa said. "See you later, Quisty!"

Quistis waved at them and proceeded out of the cafeteria toward the elevator. Just as she was about to get in, a shout rang out and made her turn around. She groaned dramatically at who shouted.

Seifer was walking briskly toward her with his two buddies following him. He stopped in front of Quistis.

"I just thought we should hang out tonight," he said to her, without even greeting her.

"Where?" she asked, raising her eyebrows.

Seifer shrugged. "I don't know, a bar or something. You're going to come with us, are you?"

"Hmm . . . okay," Quistis agreed. "Just meet me later by my classroom."

Seifer sighed and nodded. "Alright," he said. "Oh, and don't forget to change your outfit."

Quistis smiled. "I will."

"Uh, okay," Seifer said, backing away. "We'll see you later." Then he strolled away with Raijin and Fujin at his tail.

Quistis shook her head in disapproval and turned to the elevator. Maybe she could do something to annoy Seifer tonight. She could hang out with them for a while, then find a cute guy to make Seifer jealous.

'Jealous?' she thought, pushing the elevator button for the second floor. 'Why would Seifer be jealous?'

'Well, you did get him to almost kiss you,' a voice answered in her head. 'Remember, you seduced him yesterday?'

'Does that mean he likes me?' she asked.

'Could be,' the voice told her. 'You are a beautiful woman, and Seifer have known you for a year, already. Why wouldn't he have feelings for you?'

Quistis bit her lip as the elevator doors slid open. She went out into the hall and walked toward her classroom.

Probably the voice in her head was right. Seifer liked her. Sure, she could make him jealous. And tonight was perfect.
