Happi Froggi: I told you. Please only review once, 'kay?
A Miniature Golf Game
Squall rubbed his eyes. He was tired of all the paperwork he had to do. He just wanted to lay down and take a nap for hours. But he needed to get this done. He picked up his pencil again, and started to finish the requisition form in front of him. 'God, I wish I could get away from here for a while.'
Just then Rinoa came in. "Hi Squall!" she said. Not waiting for a response (because she probably wouldn't get one anyway) she continued. "Guess what? Selphie won tickets to a new miniature golf business from a radio station, and you're going too!" 'Be careful what you wish for.' Squall thought.
"Look, Rinoa, I would love to go, but I have all this paperwork to do."
"Nope." Rinoa said. "Cid said he'd get someone to take care of it."
'Damn. Think of something quick!' Squall thought "Well." he began.
"Glad you could go." Rinoa said, then walked over and pulled him up. "We're leaving now." Squall was dragged outside of the door, where he met Selphie, Zell, Irvine, and Quistis.
"Great, we're all here!" Selphie said excitedly. Squall glared at her. She deflated a little, then popped back up. "Come on Squall, don't blame me! I just had to enter the contest. And I won! I won!" she jumped up and down, and hugged everyone, except Squall. "Let's go!" With that she ran off toward the Parking Lot. Everyone else followed Selphie at a more sedated pace, with Squall lagging behind as much as possible. 'Maybe if I duck behind this wall.'
"No running, Squall." Rinoa said. Squall sighed as everyone surrounded him. He wasn't getting out of this easily.
"I am the king of miniature golf." Zell informed him. "You cannot beat my mystical powers."
".of stupidity." Irvine added. Zell lunged at Irvine, but missed and crashed to the ground. Squall sighed, stepped over Zell, and kept going. They reached the parking lot, and started out toward Balamb.

"What do you do with this weapon?"
"It's not a weapon, Squall, it's a golf club."
"It looks like a weapon. The name sounds like a weapon. If I hit someone over the head with this it would hurt like a weapon."
"But you use it to hit the golf ball."
"Where?"
"Into the hole."
"That sounds boring." He tried it. "It is boring." Rinoa just shook her head.
"Are you guys done at the practice area?" Zell asked. "The rest of us want to start playing."
"Sure." Rinoa said, and started toward the first hole. After looking at the club dubiously, Squall followed the others. Zell went first. He hit his gold ball near the hole.
"Oh yeah!" he said, punching the air.
"Move Zell." Quistis said, and hit her ball. It was also near the hole. She stuck her tongue out at Zell, who glared.
"You're next Squall."
"Says who?"
"That's how it's written on the score sheet."
"Whatever." Squall muttered, put the golf ball down, and hit it.
.right into the water.
"Great going Squall." Quistis teased.
"Yeah, nice one." Irvine added.
"You can get another golf ball at the beginning." Selphie said. Squall muttered under his breath as he got another golf ball. He came back to see Rinoa hitting her ball. Just like the other four balls, it was near the hole. She smiled at him. "You're after Zell and Quistis." she reminded him. He nodded. Zell got his in. Quistis missed. Squall was next. He put his golf ball down, then started to shoot it.
"Remember, hit it nice and easy." Irvine muttered from behind him. Squall turned around, glared at him, then hit it the farthest away from the hole as was possible while staying in the boundaries.
"Well, at least this one didn't go in the water." Selphie said.
Then Selphie hit hers, followed by Irvine, then Rinoa. Everyone got their golf balls into the hole, except Squall, who threw his club and gave up trying to get 'the damn golf ball from hell' into the hole, and they moved on. 'Only 17 more holes to get through.' Squall thought. They reached the next hole, and everyone surveyed it carefully.
"Great. We have to hit it over the water." Zell complained.
"But you're the miniature golf king with your stupidity powers. This should be easy for you." Irvine pointed out.
"It'll be easy for Squall." Quistis added. Squall rolled his eyes.
"Okay, everyone quiet. I need to concentrate." Zell said, and lined up the shot, and started to swing.
"And the king prepares his stupidity powers to cross the water." Irvine whispered.
Halfway through his swing Zell turned to Irvine in annoyance. His ball flew into the air and hit some people at another hole. Zell ducked, and everyone pretended to be surveying the hole.
"Good going Zell." Quistis muttered as Zell wandered over to the stand, bought a hot dog and grabbed another golf ball. She hit the golf ball, and got it over the water and near the hole. She smirked at Zell as he returned. Zell just growled something about 'imminent doom for the cowboy.' It was Squall's turn, so he hit the golf ball. And, as luck would have it, managed to hit the only pole in the area. His golf ball rolled into the water. Squall just shook his head and went to get another one.
"Man, you're really bad at this." Rinoa pointed out. Squall sighed. At least his went in on the fifth stroke. Then proceeded to the next hole. 'Only 16 more holes.'
"Oh yeah! No water." Zell said. He hit the golf ball, then Quistis, Squall, Selphie, Irvine and Rinoa. Everyone clapped when Squall didn't lose his golf ball to the water. No one had made it in yet, and it was Zell's turn. He shot, and missed. Quistis got it in, as did Selphie. Squall missed, and it was Irvine's turn. He smiled, then hit his golf ball at Zell's, which was lined up for a great shot.
"IRVINE!" Zell shouted, and started to punch the nearest tree in annoyance.
"Well, hey, I couldn't get it in, so I decided to at least kill your chances." Irvine said, as though this was the most logical thing in the world. Everyone sighed, and moved on to a tunnel hole. 'Only 15 more.'
The game continued, with Squall losing five golf balls. Irvine and Zell continued to ruin each other's shots, and annoy everyone with their bickering. Finally, Selphie threatened to push them into the water. Zell and Irvine shut up after that, but continued to ruin each other's shots.
Finally, they reached the last hole. They all shot once, then started to hit their second shots. But Rinoa put a little too much effort into her shot, and nearly hit Zell in the head.
"Sorry!" she called. Zell muttered something and hit his golf ball into the hole. Squall stood off to the side as Quistis lined her shot up. But as she swung back, she nearly hit Squall. Now, this was bad enough, but Squall happened to be on the edge of the water. So when he moved backward to avoid the hit, he fell into the water. He pushed upward, and crawled back onto dry land. Everyone giggled, and looked away. Squall was covered in leaves.
"What are you looking at?" he demanded of the nearby golfers. He waved his club at them, and they scurried off.
"Geez, nice look Squall." Irvine said, then clapped a hand over his mouth. Everyone could tell he had gone too far. Squall advanced on him, and tried to hit him with his club. Irvine dodged it, and swung back. Instead he hit Zell, who immediately started to pound him with a combination of punches and swings, letting lose build up tension from the day. When Zell nearly hit Selphie, she started to attack them too. Soon there was an all out war, which everyone else watched with great amusement. After about five minutes Rinoa and Quistis jumped in to separate everyone. Irvine had a black eye, Zell was holding a bloody nose, and Selphie had a nasty bruise on her ankle. Squall alone was uninjured, probably due to his skill with a gunblade.
They reached the end, and were about to leave when the worker approached them. "Want to try the bonus hole? You get a prize if you make it in one." Everyone looked at each other, and shrugged.
"Sure." Selphie answered for them, and they went to the hole. They each tried, but with no luck. "You're turn Squall." Selphie said.
"I'm not going to do it." Squall said.
"Aw, come on." Rinoa said. "Please?"
"Fine." Squall muttered, and shot it half-heartedly. There was a ringing sound, and Squall looked up, surprised.
"You got it in Squall!" Rinoa said, jumping up and hugging him. After she stopped, he turned toward the worker.
"What did I win?"
"Your choice. A free game, or soda."
Squall didn't have to think about it. "The soda." he said.
A/N: So what did you think? This was halfway based on an experience I had at a miniature golf place not too long ago. I hit my golf ball into the water twice and got the highest score (which is bad in golf), but I only nearly fell in the water. Don't worry, we didn't hit any people and we didn't get into golf club fights. And none of us got the bonus hole. That was my artistic license. Please review!
Banshee Puppet: I really don't know. I just kind of happened. Yeah, I made conversations easier to follow.
Kikoken: Okay.
Ashbear: Yeah, that was scary. I have no idea where it came from.
