Whoa, Chapter 4 already. I gotta thank all of your the reviews, Well he's chapter four....Will Zell get help finally?

Chapter 4: Coupe De' Loire

"When do we want attention? When do we want it? NOW!"

"WOOOOOOOOOOOOO I'M THE GOOGLE GIGGER!"

"HEY HEY HO HO TEACHERS NEED STUFF TOO!"

"WHO WANTS TO PLAY SOME GRAB ASS!"

"AND WE KEEP STRIKING...TO THE NIGHT...WE'RE ON STRIKE, WE SO ON STRIKE!"

Zell banged his head on the desk.He could still hear the sounds of drunken junior classmen and horrible protest songs. Day Four and half of him being in charge wasn't exactly his best. In the past few days he has had meetings with the investors, the headmasters of Galbadia and Trabia, open Cid's damn jar of pickles, seen the entire junior class get drunk and oh yeah, was also in the middle of a teachers strike. The only thing he hadn't been able to do was meet with Laguna about the building of Esthar Garden since Laguna had decided to take a two day fishing trip at Fishermen's Horizon.

"Squall is going to kill me" moaned Zell.

"Now now Zelly, I'm sure he won't kill you..." assured Nini.

"Yeah, he might choke you for a few minutes, but wouldn't kill you" said Xu.

"XU!" shouted Nini.

"Just being truthful"

"Truthful about what?" said a mysterious voice. Zell looked up, and their he stood, like an angel of mercy come to answer all or his problems in a hail of machine gun bullets and journalistic integrity...Laguna Loire. Laguna smiled to everyone as he walked in with his usual traveling group of Ellone, Kiros, and Ward.

"So why is everyone up here so down when there's a party going down below!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rinoa looked up from her shrimp scampi dinner right at Squall. She giggled as he grew more and more angry with his crab dinner, and the hassle of breaking open the shells. She giggled a little louder as she saw Squall mouth the words 'Don't make me take my gunblade to you' to his food. But what really made her bust out laughing is when he started mouthing obscenities towards a claw. He looked up at her, one eye brow cocked at her. She stopped, but was still laughing under her breath.

"What's so funny?" he questioned.

"huh...oh nothing"

"Rin...you don't crinkle your nose like that unless your trying not to laugh"

"It's nothing Squally Pooh Bear, absolutely nothing." Squall didn't believe her...he knew what that nose crinkle ...so he did it....he gave Rinoa a taste of her own medicine...he gave her the sad puppy dog face. He sat there, eyes wide and lower lip puckered out. Rinoa looked up and say this...and immediately feel out of her chair from laughing. Squall looked around to see the entire restaurant staring at them...he slowly slumped down into his seat. Rinoa sat up and looked over at him, her head slowly turned to some rich old women with her nose turned up at them. Rinoa replied by sticking her tongue out at the old bat. The old woman's eyes widened. She got up and walked over to their table.

"Young lady, how dare you be so indignant to a women of my stature" said the old woman. Rinoa looked her up and down and snored.

"Well, it is a wide stature." said Rinoa. The old woman gasped, grabbed Rinoa's drink and threw it on her. Squall stood up immediately, none to happy.

"Young man," started the old woman, "this date of yours is very rude...I don't know where you got her, but I suggest putting her back in that gutter."

"Oh no you didn't" shouted Rinoa as she stood up. Squall put an arm in front of her.

"Rinoa, calm down"

"But Squall!"

"Calm down Rinoa," said Squall coldly as the Old woman gave an appreciative snort...missing Squall's wink towards his love.

"Indeed young man, this woman isn't suitable for a man of your obvious character."

"YOU OLD..."

"Rinoa, calm down...you and I both know that a blimp need's to expel hot air every so often or otherwise they explode." The old ladies jaw dropped.

"Young man, I never!"

"It's obvious you never lady, do yourself a find a male prostitute or something." snickered Rinoa.

"Or better yet, get that stick out of your ass and let it flow" smirked Squall. The old lady grabbed Squalls drink and threw it on him. Rinoa responded by grabbing the old womens glass of Champaign and threw it on her. The old woman gasped and started storming off as Squall and Rinoa sat back down, she only turned back once to see the young couple wave her good bye...with their middle fingers high in the air.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Hmmm that is one hell of a predicament." said Laguna after hearing of Zell's tale of woe. He paced back and forth pondering on how to help Zell with this pickle of a predicament. Ellone and Nini gossiped with each other, was trying to hit it off with Kiros while Ward was busy staring at the mog bobble head on Squalls self. Something about the red balls on a mog's head fascinated Ward and put him in a hypnotized like state.

"WAIT A MINUTE, IT JUST HIT ME LIKE A SACK OF TOMATO'S!" yelled Laguna.

"Don't you mean a sack of potato's?" corrected Kiros.

"Tomato, Potato, who cares! Anyways I have the perfect plan!" exclaimed Laguna.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Jezz Quistis your such a buzz kill" said Irvine as he fought threw the striking teachers with a case of beer under each arm, and Quistis pulling on his coat. Somehow Irvine made it to the corner where Selphie was waiting for him. Selphie saw Quistis trying to pull Irvine back, and started laughing.

"Irviy, I think Quistis is trying to pull you over to the darkside." Selphie laughed out.

"I WILL NOT LET YOU TWO RUIN THIS GARDEN!" shouted Quistis. Selphie pulled the blonde off the cowboy and the two began a shoving match. The two started yelling at each other, Selphie telling Quistis to lighten up, Quistis telling Selphie this is a school and not some tacky nightclub. The two only stopped yelling when they heard Irvine gulp very, very loudly. They slowly turned to see Edea's hand on Irvines shoulder. The Matron looked at them very displeased.

"I believe you three and I need to have a little talk."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rinoa looked into Squalls on the dance floor. She laid her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. She could feel Squall looking at her and smiled when he kissed the top of her head. This was the side of Squall she loved to see: his romantic, "everything thing I do I do it for you" side...and she was the only one who ever got to see it.

"I like this" she muttered into his chest. A small sound of satisfaction was all that would come out of his mouth. He just kept looking at her, as thoughts that have never crossed his mind entered his head...he placed those new thoughts that carried new and even scary responsibilities with his old responsibilities...by the time the two left to go back to the hotel, he had made up his mind....and the new thoughts had won.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zell, Nini, Xu, Laguna and his crew celebrated as the re-entered the office. The found and cut off Selphie and Irvines supply off booze. All they had to do was let Laguna walk up to the guys dropping off, tell them the location has moved from Balamb Garden to The Esthar Presidential estate...and presto problem solved. The celebration continued as Edea entered the offices with her three prisoners.

"Zell, these three need to say something to you....GO FOR IT YOU THREE!" shouted Edea. Selphie and Irvine went first, there heads lowered.

"We're sorry Zell, we know it was wrong of us to do that and we hope you can forgive us." Zell smiled and nodded. Zell may overreact to everything, but he could forgive people easily.

"Zell...It was wrong of me to start that strike, the truth is...the truth is....I was jealous. I know Squall didn't want to but all that responsibility on me...and I should have been happy for you and helped you out...Im really really sorry."

"Don't think nothing of it...well, I got two days and six hours left before Squall returns...Lets have some fun guys!" The group agreed, but then Cid ran in carrying a little rag doll and hid under the desk.

"Cid whats wrong?" asked Xu.

"Ta....turn on the security monitors....section 17-CCA-7646BGTC" he cried. Xu turned the monitor on, and everyone's jaws had dropped. The gates in the training center where down....and the monsters had begun moving out and into the garden itself.

"Well, Looks like we have our SeeD test." remarked Zell.

Just when you think its time to relax for Zell, another problem comes along? What will happen? WHERES THE PICKLES!!!!!!! tune in next time, Same Zell time....Same Zell Fanfic!
