Journey to Wherever part 5

A story by Kairi (and friends)

Day 2 8:00

As always Quistis got up first. She got dressed, and went back to Dollet to buy some fresh bread and dinner for tonight. The others won't get up soon anyway. She decided to take Angelo with her, as there might not be another chance for the dog to get a walk soon.

In the meantime Seifer had the worst night of his life. He didn't get much sleep lying next to the love of his life. Al kind of thoughts went through his mind, and they weren't al good. When he saw Quistis leave for town, he decided it was time for him to get up too. Maybe he could get some sleep later today. He got up and went to take a shower. Even the shower didn't help getting his mind off things. As he shut off the shower, he noticed he wasn't the only one awake anymore. It seemed like everybody was awake now. "My god Zell you are loud!" Selphie said. "Yeah no wonder your roommates kept wanting to change rooms" Quistis said. Seifer heard them talking. They must be talking about his snoring. Well it is pretty annoying He thought. "Where's Quistis?" he heard Rinoa say. "yeah Seifers gone missing too." Zell said. "You know, They're probably in Dollet or something, getting food" Irvine said. Then somebody yawned. "Pff I'm getting the shower first" He couldn't hear who said that because there was too much noise. He noticed he only had his boxers on, and left the rest of his clothes in his bag. As he walked out of the bathroom, he bumped into somebody who fell backwards. It was Rinoa and she was wearing one of Squall's T-shirts. He could see what kind of underwear she was wearing too. "Sorry" he said looking at her. He held out his hand for her and she took it. "Right, Is Quistis with you?" she asked. "No of course not! Why would she? She went out to get some bread." He was trying desperately to keep his voice from trembling. She was desperately trying to keep her eyes focused on the right place. She failed and looked down anyway. "ehm" She said looking back up. "The shower's free right?" "Uhm Yeah. Go ahead." He said and he rubbed his head and watched her walk in. Then he noticed everybody was looking at him. "What?" He said arms raised. "you've got it bad for that girl, luckily Squall isn't here, or you'd be dead." Selphie said. Her eyes lowered a bit, and so did everybody else's. Then he noticed what everybody else had noticed. Irvine threw Seifer's jeans towards him, so he could cover himself. He needed a cold shower. "Don't tell Squall or you'll all be dead." He said to them.

9:30

In the meantime Quistis was unaware of anything and was just on her way back when she heard the noise coming from the bus. I guess everybody is up now she thought. Squall jumped out in his boxers and t-shirt. "Oh there's Angelo" He said. Quistis looked at the dog. "you where worried about the dog?" Squall went to them, and said: "Yeah well I wasn't sure where she was. I thought you might took her. But I wanted to make sure. I didn't want Rinoa to get upset because her dog ran away or something." They exchanged a look and then Squall said: "So you're back too, with food I take it?" Quistis nodded. "yes is everybody up yet? I've brought fresh bread." "Yeah they're getting changed. Lets get inside, its pretty cold this time a day." They went in and made the table for breakfast.

Seifer came down. "Oh hi guy's. Rinoa's in the shower Squall, and you look like you could use one." He said avoiding Squall's look. Squall however didn't mind and went up as fast as he could. Seifer sat down, and got some bread on his plate. Then they heard a voice screaming. They exchanged a look, and laughed. Squall found somebody else in the shower. Selphie was the one screaming so loud. Irvine was with her. And Squall came out of the shower. Then he noticed Rinoa sitting on the bed smiling at him. "So you thought I was still in there?" She said smiling more as with every passing second.. Zell started laughing his head off, and Squall started to see the humour in it too and jumped on the bed next to Rinoa. He started tickling her. "Aah Zell help me" She laughed. Zell had no intention of helping her whatsoever and he laughed even more. But when it started to get more intimate he quickly got away. He didn't need to stay around for the kissing and stuff.

10:00

When everybody was finished Quistis got behind the wheel and they took off. Well not everybody was finished. Zell was still having his unhealthy breakfast. Irvine and Squall were playing cards, each with their girlfriends next to them. Selphie again was giving unwanted advice and looked over his shoulder to his cards, wile he was trying to avoid her seeing the cards witch made them look really silly. Rinoa sad with her back against the window, legs on Squall's lap, enjoying the way Irvine and Selphie acted. Squall was studying his cards with a serious look on his face, witch made the scenery much more funny. Seifer was on the other side of the bus, reading a book on gunblades. Zell sat across the same table as him, with a hotdog. He put the hotdog half in half out of the bread and said: "Hey Seifer want a bite?" Selphie, Irvine and Rinoa started laughing. Squall looked puzzled. He decided to ignore them and put a card on the table. "finally Squall, that took you like forever man." Irvine said, and put a card next to the one Squall just laid down, making it his. Squall cursed. "Damn Squall, you kiss Rinoa with that mouth?" Selphie said. They laughed again. "Well you're not playing tactical honey." Rinoa said. She whispered something in his ear. Then he put a card on the table flipping 4 of Irvine's cards using the plus and combo rule. "Hey that's cheating!" Irvine said. "No its not, or your cheating too." Squall said looking at Selphie. Irvine cursed and Rinoa said: "Damn Irvine, you kiss Selphie with that mouth?"

14:00

A few hours later boredom kicked in. Seifer had finished his book on gunblades, and lent it too Squall who read it with a sleeping Rinoa on his shoulder. Zell was making a pyramid with lumps of sugar occasionally cursing because the bus was moving witch made his pyramid fall over. Selphie was annoying Quistis who was still driving. Irvine was studying his cards and Seifer went upstairs to catch in on the sleep he missed during the night.

Quistis turned on the radio to listen to the news. "Deling city has a draw in voting for a new president, yesterday a freight train crashed outside of Timber nobody was hurt, and with 87 degrees Fahrenheit / 30 Celsius the weather is gonna be sunny tomorrow. Back to you Tom!" "alright thank you Jim. Now its time for some music. You all remember this one? Julia Heartilly and 'Eyes on Me' Now on choco radio" As the song was playing, Selphie grabbed a map to look at where they were. "Hey there's a river nearby, maybe we can stop there and camp for the night, and we can take a bath the next day." She said after a while. Quistis thought it over a bit, and then said: "That sounds like a good idea Selphie. How far away is this river?" " Only a few more miles, it should take us about an hour or 2 to get there" Selphie answered. "Alright go tell the others" Quistis said.

"Alright people! In an hour or 2, where about to stop at a river. We will spend the night there. It's already decided so no buts." Selphie said in a loud voice. Amazingly it didn't wake up Rinoa and Seifer who were sleeping. Everybody agreed. It wasn't as fun as they thought it would be to travel by bus. Maybe a day off the bus would be nice for a change. Although they weren't in the bus for that long.

16:00

An hour or 2 later they arrived at the river. Everybody got off and stretched their legs. The girls set up some chairs and a table, while the guys where playing soccer on the grass, well away from the river. The girls where watching. But not long after that, the girls joined in the game. Irvine, Zell and Quistis were on one team, Selphie, Squall and Rinoa were on the other. The lazy Seifer was referee. As it turned out, Selphie small as she was, made a pretty good soccer player, and scored goal after goal. "Damn Irvine, just because she's a girl, means we have to go soft on her." Zell said annoyed. "Sorry man, it goes against my policy." The cowboy replied. "Alright" Quistis said, not too glad about being on the losing team. "Why don't we do girls against boys?" Irvine thought about it and said: "No can do, Seifer take my place." Seifer quickly got up and joined the guy's their side. While Quistis switched places with Squall. Now that Irvine was replaced by Seifer, the guy's where doing a lot better than before.

18:30

After a while they got bored with the game, and they decided to have dinner. They heard over the news, that the weather was gonna be hot early on in the day, so they decided to go to sleep early. Nobody bothered to clean up the table, they were gonna use it the following day anyway.

When everybody got into bed, nobody went to sleep for a while. Only Quistis seemed to fall asleep early. "I'm not the least bit tired" Rinoa said. "Yeah well you slept during the day." Zell said. Rinoa trew a pillow at his head. "Hey!" Zell cried out. "You're gonna get that back!" And so the pillow fight begun.

AN: Hey Guess what! I'm back! I decided to give this fic another chance since I didn't give it a fair one earlier. I do have occasional writers block though. So please don't hesitate to give me some ideas! Also I'm sorry this chapter doesn't have as many jokes in it as the last. I'll try to add some more in the next chapter.

I'm also busy writing another fic, but I decided not to put it up yet until I'm sure it's a good story.
