Authoress's Notes: Well well, lookit that. An update! Holy burnt poo on a stick! Is this real? ARE YOU DREAMING!? Let's make sure!! punch Oh yeah, not a dream... heh...
Anyway, the inspiration for me writing a chapter after a long, long time (half a year) was because I was ranting in my blog, Sympathy for the Devil, about how cool fanfiction was. And I was all like, wow, I wish I was a fanfiction writer. Then I remembered, OH YEAH! I am. .;; So, here you are ladies and...er...ladies...
Presenting...the wonderful beautiful fourth chapter of Hot Dogs and Hair Gel!
Hot Dogs and Hair Gel
Chapter Four
Three weeks had passed, with Zell going to the beach everyday, dragging a disgruntled Seifer along with him. Seifer was sure not to tear his trenchcoat on another foul thorn bush or to step on a broken seashell. Zell did all the work, and Seifer fell asleep many times in the shade of trees lining the connection of the beach to the forest. So, the project seemed to be going well. Fiona had her litter. Two baby Fastilacion-F's found the surface, however, one was the runt of the litter, and soon died. Zell named the survivor Fred. How original.
Fred, Fiona, and Frank were all living happily with Zell as an everyday visitor. Fred liked to bounce on Seifer's head just as Seifer had fallen asleep, and it got Seifer really ticked off, but nothing bad actually occurred. No tragic deaths in the Fastilacion-F life after the runt's.
It had all seemed peaceful.
That is, until one day...
It started like a normal drag-an-unwilling-Seifer-down-to-the-beach day. Frank, Fiona, Fred, and Zell were sitting on the beach having a discussion (though Seifer didn't know how Zell could understand Fastilacion-F, but he wasn't asking). After Fred bounced on Seifer's head for the umpteenth time, the gunblade specialist huffed and stood, walking into the forest. He needed to get away from these people...well, person and monsters...
He kicked pebbles and sticks out of his path, hands in pockets and eyes to the ground. One big stone, in particular, was kicked and bounced back, smacking him in the forehead. He growled and looked up to see what it had bounced off of. His eyes were met with two large glowing yellow orbs. He cursed under his breath and swiftly turned on his heel, sprinting back to the beach. The thunderous footsteps of the dinosaur running behind him made him run faster. Twigs smacked his face and bushes whipped him, leaving thin cuts all over him.
Why me? He thought as he ran. He grabbed his gunblade and cut the thin wispy tree in front of him down, bursting into the sunlight of the beach.
"Seifer, what--?" Zell was cut off when a tree with a giant red foot connected to it fell almost right on top of him.
He looked up. "Shit man, what the hell did you do!?" He shouted, hopping over the tree and getting into an immediate battle stance.
"I didn't do anything!!" Seifer lied, dodging a tail swipe from the T-Rexaur. "Why the hell do these things always bother ME!?"
"Because you're annoying!!" Zell said, delivering a dozen punches to the underside of the dinosaur. That of course, only succeeded in pissing it off some more, and it opened it's mouth, making a sudden plunge at Seifer.
As teeth connected with his shoulder, he fired his gunblade inside the dinosaur's mouth. It howled and let go, leaving a bloodied Seifer before him.
Zell reached into his pocket and tossed a Potion at Seifer, who caught it, chugged it, and ran forth to slash the beast to pieces. It whirled around, hitting both of them with it's powerful tail. Seifer only caught the end of it, and landed a few feet away on his knees. Zell, as it turned out, wasn't as fortunate.
The full force of the blow hit him hard, and he flew, landing in the water behind them. He emerged from the surface just as the T-Rexaur unleashed a Thunder magic attack on him. Water and lightning; not a very good combination. As well as probably many fish out there, Zell shrieked as the electricity spread through his body.
He did not break the surface again.
Seifer cursed once again and let loose his Fire Cross, causing the T-Rexaur to fall to the ground. Before it even reached the ground, Seifer had hurled himself into the water. He reached Zell and dragged him back to the beach. Since Potions and Cure magic did not work on the unconscious, Seifer searched his pockets for a Phoenix Down.
"Phoenix Down, Phoenix Down, oh dammit it all!" He said, frustrated.
He would have to carry Zell back to the Garden. One touch, and he retreated his hand. He had gotten shocked from the touch. That wasn't Thunder. That was Thundaga. Ignoring several more shocks, he hoisted the tiny teen onto his back.
And as he was running, he wondered why he cared.
When he shoved open the gates to the Garden, he was met by many stares, but he pushed past those students, panting, and still running swiftly to the infirmary.
He burst into the infirmary. "Doctor Kadowaki...!" He said in one breath.
She looked up from the work on her desk, recovered from her shock instantly, and lead Seifer into an occupied section.
"Get up!" She hissed at the boy laying there. At his pained look, she gave him a sharp "Your stomach is FINE, now get UP!"
Once he had gotten up, Seifer took Zell off of his back and lay him onto the bed.
"What happened?" She said, preparing treatment.
Seifer collapsed into a chair next to the bed, still panting and dripping wet. "T-Rexaur ...knocked him into the ocean ...then used... Thundaga..."
"Poor boy..." She said, pouring some sort of medicine into his mouth. "Something bad always happening to him...ever since the Dinchts' adopted him..."
Adopted? Zell had been adopted? Seifer decided to listen to Dr. Kadowaki muttering to herself. "...glad they got divorced...husband..."
He cut her out of his hearing. He didn't need to know this. It wasn't his problem.
"...masy."
He closed his eyes.
"ALMASY!!"
He shot up. "WHAT!?"
"GO LAY DOWN!!" Dr. Kadowaki shouted. "I'LL GET TO YOUR INJURIES WHEN I'M DONE HERE!!"
"All RIGHT, SHUT UP! Stupid old hag..." Seifer said, standing up.
"Dumb young fool..." She said to his retreating back. Yet, she had a small smile on her face.
Seifer scared another kid with a "stomach problem" out of the small room, the kid shrieked when Seifer pointed to his gunblade.
"ALMASY!! STOP SCARING OTHER STUDENTS!!" Kadowaki shouted over the divider.
"Didn't I tell you to SHUT UP!?" He growled, utterly annoyed with the day.
He shook of his heavy, once again torn, trenchcoat and threw it onto the foot of the bed. He plopped onto his back on the sheets and closed his eyes, blocking out all sounds. He soon fell asleep.
When it was safe, Dr. Kadowaki paged a classroom. "Yes, Quistis? I would like to discuss something with you. Please come down to the infirmary as soon as you can..."
Hieica: So............it was kinda short for a comeback chapter...but don't worry!! I've already started the fifth chapter, so you guys can beat me until I post it!! All right!? You don't understand how SORRY I am for neglecting it (all of them)!! I PROMISE the next chapter will be up soon!! Okay!?
...it was a little disappointing, but IMPORTANT fun stuff next chapter!
Swissy: If anybody is still reading this...REVIEW!! I'll sick Dr. Kadowaki on you!!
