The three villains finished reading and exchanged glances.

"You know… none of these people seem very evil-friendly… maybe this wasn't such a great idea…" said Kuja, nervously chewing a perfectly manicured fingernail. Sephiroth nodded.

"I really don't think we should do this, Edea."

Even the ex-evil sorceress seemed a bit put of persevered.

"Oh, come on! I know it seems bad now… but we've got the money and 18 people who want dates. And you know what they say…'If things seem bad-"

"Do a half-arsed job?" Sephiroth suggested. Edea considered then nodded.

"OK then." They grabbed some of the forms each and randomly clipped the forms together.

"Let's see who we've got here…" Edea said and read the list aloud.

Pair 1: Shera and Zidane

Pair 2: Garnet and Cid

Pair 3: Reno and Rinoa

Pair 4: Cloud and Beatrix

Pair 5: Selphie and Amarant

Pair 6: Yuffie and Vincent

Pair 7: Squall and Aeris

Pair 8: Tifa and Steiner

Pair 9: Zell and Freya.

"Another job well done!" Kuja said, sticking post-it notes to the paired forms. Sephiroth read one.

"The Gold Saucer? Oh, the date location."

"Exactly. Then we just send off the information the customers and we've made ourselves a fortune and helped people out. You know, this doing good isn't that bad." Edea said.

The three villains gave each other pleased looks. Yes, things were turning out quite well indeed.
