An Interlude
"Hey Seiffer."
"Hey Zell."
"What're you gonna do. Y'know, in the future."
"Don't know. Got any ideas?"
"Not really."
"Nice to know that you have some confidence in me, still. Chicken Wuss."
"That name got old years ago."
"You don't seem to think so."
"Whatever dude, why're you in Balamb for anyway?"
"What does it matter to you, want me to move away?"
"Only if wherever you're going is ready to deal with you."
"I doubt it."
"Me too."
"What're you laughing at?"
"You!"
"This isn't the way things are supposed to go."
"Say that alot?"
"Actually, yes."
----
"Zell? Aren't you supposed to be on vacation?"
"Yes, Quistis and I am on vacation."
"So why the phone call? Worried that I've taught your students to punch like a girl?"
"You never punched like a girl, Quistis."
"Fair enough. Are you coming back early or staying late? You do have some vacation time left over."
"No, I'm still on schedule..."
"So...."
"So....um. Yeah."
"Zell?"
"Quistis?"
"Get on with it."
"Right, so I kinda have been hanging out with Seiffer lately."
"'Lately'? How often and current is 'lately'?"
"Last night and today. Like, since last night we've been separated for only eight hours out of twenty-four. We went to a bar last night and he followed Ma home for an impromptu lunch."
"Sounds painful."
"Actually, it hasn't. We were in the backyard talkin and he just left."
"Are you lying to me? Did you call just to screw with my head? If you are, I have to say that you should be trying a little harder, but some applause on your subtlety."
"He held my hand Quistis."
"That's better."
"I'm being serious here. He really did, but it was just for a second."
"Maybe it was an accident?"
"Maybe the first time, but he was completely sober this time around."
"Well...shit."
"Yeah, that's what I said."
Chapter 9 is almost finished! Will Zell and Seifer be able to survive a potentially magical day alone with beautiful weather without touching each other in ways that television tells you they shouldn't!? Stay tuned!
