A/N: I would just like to thank all of my faithful readers out there, I know I haven't been the speediest at updating my story, but I am certainly almost finished with this one! I promise!!! So, thank you all again! And.On with the story!!!

***Later that Evening***

The night of the Stardust Masquerade ball had finally arrived. The ballroom was in perfect splendor thanks to the hard work of Selphie and her decoration committee. Balamb students in all sorts of elaborate costumes had already begun to arrive at the ballroom for a wonderful evening. It seemed that not even the dark gray clouds that had lingered outside, and looked to threaten rain, could put a damper on anyone's spirits.

Upstairs, in her room, and extremely nervous Quistis looked at her appearance in her mirror. She had on the beautiful dress that she had picked out at the costume store. She and Laguna had decided on a wonderful couple to go as. They would be going as King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. Quistis smoothed down the dark blue velvet dress and tightened the gold belt that she wore around her waist. Her fair hair was curled and wrapped up on top of her head, and a beautiful diamond tiara rested on top of her golden curls. She smiled as she remembered Laguna's blushing cheeks when he presented the tiny crown to her outside of the costume store.

"What am I doing?" she thought as she adjusted the delicate gold lace on her long sleeves. "What is Seifer going to do when he sees Laguna and I come into the ballroom together."

Butterflies fluttered in Quistis' stomach. "Who am I kidding.What will everyone think when I walk in with a man that is 20 years older than me."

Quistis' nervous thoughts were interrupted by a knock at her door. Quistis walked across the room and opened up the door. There to greet her was Laguna, in his beautiful King Arthur costume. Quistis smiled and her eyes took in his handsome form. Laguna had his long hair tied back in a tight band. He wore a dark red tunic with a stunning golden dragon on the front. He also had on a long-sleeved black shirt underneath the tunic, and black pants. His high black boots and a beautiful dark red hooded cape that draped gracefully over his broad shoulders topped off his gorgeous costume. A striking golden crown rested on Laguna's raven black hair. Quistis was speechless at the sight of the attractive man standing in front of her. Laguna, who was equally enchanted by Quistis, smiled charmingly and brushed a strand of his long, black, bangs off of his forehead.

"Are you ready to go.My Queen?" He asked, blushing slightly.

Quistis smiled, took Laguna's arm, and replied, "I'm always ready, My King." The stunning couple walked slowly down the hall, looking into each other's eyes.

***Meanwhile Downstairs***

"Dante, where are you?" Seifer spoke into the small microphone concealed in his sleeve. A few seconds later Dante's deep voice was heard in Seifer's ear.

"I'm here, man! All set up and ready to go."

"Good, then stay still and quiet. Your target will be arriving soon."

Seifer smiled as he spoke these words, and then walked across the room and took a look at himself in the mirror. Earlier when he had spotted Quistis and Laguna coming from the costume shop, Seifer had went in after them and used his powers of persuasion, and his dangerous gunblade, and had found out from the shop clerk what Laguna and Quistis had decided to go as at the ball. Seifer knew his history well, and was well versed in the history of King Arthur and Queen Guinevere. He also knew of a third player in the royal couple's game of love. The legendary knight of the Roundtable: Sir Lancelot. So, of course, Sir Lancelot was whom Seifer had decided to masquerade as at tonight's ball.

Seifer smiled at his appearance in the mirror. If there was one thing Seifer wasn't, it was definitely modest. Seifer wore a black tunic, and matching black pants, similar to those of Laguna's except Seifer's had a mighty golden Lion on the front of his tunic, instead of a dragon. A long black cape that was lined with gold on the underside rested on his shoulders, and Seifer's incredible gunblade, Hyperion, rested in a holster at his hip. He truly looked the part, as he ran a hand over through his thick, spiked blonde hair, and took one last glimpse of himself in the mirror.

"Damn I look great." Seifer thought. "That old fart Laguna will look like chopped liver standing next to me tonight."

Seifer's eyes glinted with malice, as he exited his room and made his way toward the ballroom for a night he'd never forget...

Mua ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Ooo! I make Seifer seem so evil don't I! But he sure looks hot while doing it!

Well anyways, here is a little note from me.

For those of you whom are wondering..Gee. I wonder just who King Arthur and Queen Guinevere and Sir Lancelot are?? Well guess what folks it is your lucky day! There is a link in my profile that explains the couple, and Lancelot's involvement with them.

If you've ever seen the great Richard Gere movie titled "First Knight" then you are most likely familiar with their love story.

Oh! And I also have links to the costumes that I decided to make the three wear-these are examples that I got the descriptions for their costumes from. And just a warning.Only look at the costumes, not the dorky people who are residing in them.Because these people come no where close to what Laguna Quistis and Seifer look like! I just thought that the visual of the threesome's costumes would be nice to include in my story. Visuals are good! Since ff.net would not let me upload the links, you can click on my name, and take a look at the links in my profile!

Thanks a lot for reading! Please read and review!!!!
