Chapter 3: Selphie and Irvine Kegalicious Festival of Beers

Zell awoke with a start the next mourning...well not a start, it was more like someone with an electric guitar with the amps turned all the way up while playing the opening of the song "Earache in your Eye"...actually, that's exactly how he woke up. Zell covered his ears and looked around the cause of the noise. He turned to see Nida playing the guitar on his dresser, the amp near the door. Zell struggled to his feet, and crawled across the floor as the sound emanating from the amps kept pushing him back. Zell fought threw the force, and quickly unplugged the amps. Nida kept playing...then about a minute later found out his guitar wasn't making the same sound. He stared at it while plucking the strings.

"Come on man...don't be an ass guitar dude" Nida said as Zell got a few inches from his face.

"NIDA WHAT THE HELL ARE Y...." Zell sniffed the air around him, "Damn Nida your breath smells like cheap whiskey or something."

"Yeah...I'm The Googlemister!

"YOUR DRUNK! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET DRUNK!"

"GARDEN FESSS ZELL-MAN! GARDEN FEBTIBAL!"

"THATS NOT FOR ANOTHER...oh crap!" A look of shock went over Zell's face. Without realizing he was still in his boxer shorts with the little baby chocobo's on it, Zell left his room, and saw what was going on all over the garden.

"Oh man....Squall is going kill me when he comes back!"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Squall grumbled in his hotel room. Somehow, someway Rinoa had talked him into doing a little site seeing. 'How does she do that!?' he wondered to himself. For all time he knew her, Squall had never been able to figure out how Rinoa could talk him into doing things he never really wanted to do...and a few things he actually did want to do...and something's that he wouldn't actually think of but would blush if the idea came into his mind. He looked over at her as she walked out of the bathroom with a dramatic flair. She was wearing a white button up shirt over light blue tank top, her black short pants, sandals, a pair of oval rimmed sunglasses, her necklace with the griever ring on it, and one of those big floppy white hats. She looked at him with her lips puffed out like a fish. A small snort escaped from Squall as he rolled his eyes. Rinoa smiled and giggled over this.

"What, I don't look cute in my big floppy hat?"

"It's not that..."

"So I don't look cute?" Rinoa's poked out her bottom lip and her eyes grew big...her infamous sad puppy look, the one Squall could never say no to.

"Of course you do...it's just how do you always get to do thing's I would rather not do" A grin grew across Rinoa's face.

"Oh, that's simple. I have two ways. One is you love me, so you do it for me. The other is the puppy face, you never say no to it."

"The puppy face doesn't work on me Rin"

"Yes it does"

"No it doesn't," Rinoa put on the puppy face again, "Ok, ok it does." Rinoa smirked again as she grabbed the camera off the dresser. She promised photo's from this little trip to Selphie and Questis. Right before they where about to head the door, Rinoa snapped her fingers and turned around. Squall groaned.

"What now?"

"I want to try an experiment."

"...an experiment?"

"Yeah...don't worry it won't hurt you in anyway...I think," Rinoa grabbed Squall's hands and removed his gloves. She grabbed his jacket and removed that. "You look a lot more comfortable like that."

All Squall could do was just smile and laugh.

Zell couldn't believe his eyes even after an hour of sulking at his desk. Selphie and Irvine had put in one of the contracts an idea for having a kegger any time as part of the Garden Festival. In his rush to get the paper work done, Zell just approved all of Selphie's plans without reading them first. Nini rubbed his shoulders, it always calmed him down. Someone entered the office silently, Zell only knew someone had come in because Nini had stopped rubbing. He looked up and saw Xu and Quistis standing before him.

"Don't tell me, I've messed up."

"Yep, Big time" Quistis snapped. She turned her back to him and folded her arms. Zell lowered his head.

"Oh...its not that bad Quistis." reassured Xu.

"She's right Xu, I messed up...oh well at least you too aren't drunk"

"Actually I have been drinking, just I can hold my liquor" smiled Xu.

"Well that's good, at least you two can help me with this madness"

"NO" yelled Quistis.

"No?"

"Quistis?"

"Zell, all the instructors are very angry with you. You have been up here sulking for two days while the student body has been drinking!"

"Two days?" questioned Zell.

"Yeah, two days...but we got four days to clean up this mess, We'll just have the instructors help us cut of the supply of booze."

"No you won't. Zell, me and the rest of the instructors can no longer take the drunkenness of the students, while your up here sulking in your shame!"

"Quitsy?" asked Nini. Her, Zell, and Xu looked at the blonde haired SeeD in shock as three little words passed threw her mouth.

"We're On Strike!!!"


Strike? Oooh Things are looking pretty bad for old Zelly boy. What will happen? What will become of Garden? What is the mystery of the Yeti? Do you know the Muffin Man? Will Cid ever get his pickles?

Tune in next time to find out....Same Zell Time, Same Zell Location!
