Zell's Prince Romeo

Me: ::Comes back alive:: I live! And ready for a new chapter.

Zell: I so glad the ginger headed freaks gone.

Me: I was enjoying having all of you around me. It would have been nicer if you were all naked though.

Squall: Not in your lifetime, I only get naked for getting a shower or for Zell.

Zell: Thanks babe. ::Squall and Zell kiss::

Me: Awww, that's so cute. Awww. On with the story! YAY! BTW... I've speeded things up a little. This takes place the afternoon of the night the show is to be preformed. Enjoy!

Chapter Ten

Zell walked into the Quad smiling happily. Selphie had called for a last rehearsal before the show that night. Zell walked towards Seifer and Irvine and waited for the rest of the cast to show up. When Zell got to Seifer and Irvine, Seifer began to walk around the shorter blonde. This confused Zell. "What are you doing?"

"Checking for a limp. Nope, can't find one." Said Seifer standing beside Irvine.

"Does that mean Squall has the limp?" Asked Irvine. Zell nodded happily.

"That's a first." Said Seifer.

"It's not. You just haven't noticed before." Said Zell smugly, sticking out his tongue.

Seifer shook his head. "You know a while ago I called you a horny chicken. It was a statement. You didn't have to prove it." Zell punched Seifer lightly in the arm.

"Speaking of Squall, where is he?" Asked Irvine, looking around.

"Xu had decided that she was going to get Squall back. Today." Zell sighed and pouted. "She's locked him in his office and she won't let him out for anything. I've tried already. He not allowed any visitor unless they're really important. She's also replaced his secretary from herself. He's not allowed out until he finishes all his reports."

"But this is the final rehearsal and he's the main character. We need him here." Said Seifer.

Zell shrugged his shoulders. "I told that to Xu but she said 'It's his own fault for pulling a trick like that on me'."

"Why don't you go and visit him at lunchtime?" Smirked Seifer.

"I would, but she said I'm not important enough." Zell growled. "I may not be important to her but I am to Squall."

Seifer chuckled at the shorter blonde. "I know this seems an odd question but I thought you were planning on staying a virgin until you got married?"

Zell gave Seifer a quizzical look. "This is an odd question. Yeah I was going to but then Squall opened up." Zell grinned from ear to ear.

"I see." Said Seifer.

"Would you ever marry Squall?" Asked Irvine.

"I would like to but I'm not really sure how he feels about it. Anyway it's would be kind of soon, I mean, we've only been together for three months."

Seifer put his arm around Zell's shoulders. "It doesn't really matter how long you've been together, as long as you both love each other."

Zell and Irvine wiped away a fake tear. "That was beautiful." Said Irvine.

"Yeah. Didn't know something so beautiful could come out of a mouth so foul." Joked Zell.

Seifer clutched at his heart in fake hurt. "That hurt." Zell just smiled at him.

"Listen up you, slacker!" Yelled a short brunette. "I've always wanted to say that. Anyway, practice time. Everyone moved to the stage. This is the whole run through before tonight. So it better be perfect. No body should have a script in their possession. Except me." Selphie walked up to her trio of friends, one of them being a lot more than a friend. "Hi all."

"Selphie, Squall won't be here." Said Zell.

Selphie waved at him. "I know. Xu sent me a message telling me that she wouldn't let Squall out of her sight till he's done."

"Thanks okay then. So who's going to do his part?" Worry passed through the blonde's eyes. "I'm not kissing anyone."

Selphie just laughed. "All of you go up to the stage. I'm going to announce it to the whole cast." The three men walked to the stage and stood with everyone else. "Right. Squall is unable to join us today. So I will be playing his part. To Zell relief I will not be acting out the part I'll just be reading it. So Zell when it gets to the kissing parts don't act like your kissing some invisible person." Zell blushed and glared at Selphie. "Everyone! Move out!" The whole cast moved either to the side stage or to behind the stage. Tidus and Wakka walked out and the run through began.

Squall sat bored in his office. Xu had downloaded all his games and fun things off of his computer onto a disk then deleted them from the computer itself. She also took out the intercom so he could ask anyone to help him. Plus she had told his secretary, Nina, to take the day off, and she took her place. And she did this all before he had even woken up that morning.

Speaking of the morning, he didn't really have a nice wake up call. He was tired from the previous night activities, and then Xu had barged into the room and dragged him out the bedroom, by the ear, naked. Then she finally realized he wasn't wearing any clothes just as she was about to leave the dorm. She let him go with a blush across her cheeks. He got dressed and woke up Zell with a kiss, and told him what had happened. Zell had laughed and got up and got dressed to. Squall left the room and was, literately, pushed into his office. And he still hadn't had his morning coffee.

He got out of his chair and knocked on the door. "Xu." He whined, a new tactic for him.

"Whining doesn't suit you, sir." Replied Xu, dryly.

"Need... coffee. Dying..." Said Squall trying to sound as sick as possible.

"If I get you your coffee will you start working?"

"Yes. I need coffee to work." 'And Zell.' Thought Squall.

"Okay then."

/Hey, you miss us?/ Said Diablos.

'Not really. I was enjoying the peace and quiet in my head. Where have you been?'

/We've been having a meeting with the other GF's, Master./ Said Shiva.

/Yeah, now we can get a message to Zell for you./ Said Eden.

'Really?' Thought Squall. 'Shiva, tell him that I wish he was here.'

/I'll tell that to Quezacotl, who will pass it on to Zell./ Said Shiva.

Squall smiled to himself. 'I'm so glad Xu isn't junctioned to anyone.'

There was a knock at the door and Xu opened it holding a cup of coffee. "Happy now?"

Squall nodded. "Very much so." Xu was about to close the door when Squall put his foot in between it. "Xu, could you do me a little favour?"

Xu sighed. "What kind of favour?"

"Could you pick something up for me?" Squall smiled sweetly at her.

She just glared back. "What sort of something?"

"It's a secret." Said Squall taking a sip of his coffee.

"Fine give me the address and I'll get someone to pick it up."

Squall walked to his desk and quickly wrote down the address. "Don't let anyone look at it."

"Fine." Xu walked out of the room and locked the door.

'Today's going to be a good day.'

Zell stood on the stage working on his lines with Selphie. At the moment he had forgotten what he was supposed to be doing.

/Sir, Squall sends you a message. He says he wishes that you were with him./ Said Quezacotl.

'Thanks. But now isn't really a good time. Tell Squall I can't talk right now but I'll make it up to him later.' Thought Zell trying desperately to remember his lines.

/Okay./ Said Quezacotl.

"Zell." Said Selphie.

Zell blushed. "Sorry. Umm... Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much, Which mannerly devotion shows in this; For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch, And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss." Selphie nodded to Zell and said her line and the practice continued.

/Master! Zell's says that he can't talk right now but he will make it up to you later./ Said Shiva.

'Thanks.' Thought Squall.

There was a knock at the door and the door opened. Laguna and Kiros walked into the room both smiling holding hands. "Hi." Said Laguna waving.

"Dad." Squall got out of his chair and embraced his dad.

Laguna hugged him back. "Long time on see. You seem to be doing well, apart from maybe being locked in your own office."

Squall nodded. "Xu being evil and not letting me out. She says I've got to start working so I can do the play later on."

"I'm looking forward to seeing it. Kiros is too." Said Laguna.

Kiros bowed slightly to Squall. "I'm looking forward to see if Laguna's son can act better than him." Kiros smiled at the duo. Laguna pushed him slightly.

Me: Well that didn't take as long as the last chapter as least.

Zell: True, true.

Me: BTW if anyone wants a picture of Zell with his back tattoo then I have one. I can't remember where I found it. If you want it then e-mail me. Thankies. Also if you want to see anything in this story before I finish it then please e-mail me. Oh and please review.
