Chapter 20.

Let's get blown! Cough Drunk!

"Umm.. this is the party?" Garnet asked, as Zidane and her walked into the Tantalus cabin.

There was many people there. But the people that stood out the most were probably Blank who was passed out on the couch, Cinna who was hiccupping and holding a beer in his hand, smirking. Baku was dancing (well more like wobbling) and had a beer in his hand, and Marcus was singing "These boots were made for walking" By Jessica Simpson.

"Interesting." Was the only comment Garnet could say. Zidane just laughed, "Hey, get used to it. Parties at the Tantalus place are always like this."

"Ziddy mah man!" Exclaimed Baku, practically knocking Zidane over with a beer bottle. Zidane luckily ducked, he also ducked Baku's friendly hug. Or.. so called friendly hug.

"Ziddy?" Garnet inquired, confused. She then giggled, "Is that your new nick name?" Quickly Zidane shook his head, as if saying, "No and hell no."

"Garnet!" Garnet turned around to face Vivi and Eiko holding hands, smiling. (Or at least Eiko was, I can't tell with Vivi:P).

"Hello everyone!" Garnet exclaimed. She was extremely happy to see everyone. This party might seem like a drunk's party, but hey, she could at least enjoy herself.

"Drink up babe." Slurred Marcus as he handed Garnet a shot. Garnet grabbed it from him, and then poured it down his shirt. All of her friends laughed forever.

"Hey Garnet. You say you don't drink, huh?" Asked Zidane, breaking the laughter. Garnet nodded, politely.

"Why not? You should at least try it." Zidane provoked.

I should, shouldn't I? Take more chances...

"All right, Sir Zidane. Do you mind pouring me one?" Garnet said. Zidane winked at her, and bowed, "Of course m'lady." He then headed over towards Marcus, grabbing a shot from the drunk man.

Zidane handed Garnet the drink.

-

After a couple of hours almost everyone was drunk. Except for Vivi and Eiko of course. They weren't even allowed to drink.

"We should plaaay spin the b-bottle." Zidane suggested, slurring at almost every word.

"Hoy hoy hoy, great idea, lad." Steiner said in a weird voice. Garnet burped, "Why the hell am I a Q-Queen anyways? I suck." She groaned, and took a drink from Marcus' tray.

"Guys are you OK?" Eiko asked coming into the room.

"Why wouldn't I be? It's just a few drinks.." Said Zidane. He started then laughing out loud for no apparent reason. Garnet joined him. Steiner belched loudly making them all laugh at his rudeness.

"Wow." Was all Vivi and Eiko could say or think. Never had they seen their friends in this position before.

"Hey I got an idea! L-Let's get blown." Slurred Zidane giggling. Marcus and Cinna giggled girly like.

"Darn Zidane. You are so immature." Garnet hissed, and hiccupped.

Knock Knock Knock.

"Aliens invading!" Zidane cried. "No way. Go away!" Garnet shouted to the door.

"But I bought some new thongs I'd like to show you!" It was definitely Kuja, and the disgust was placed on everyone's face. "Didn't I kick his ass?" Asked Trace.

"I don't freaking (hiccup) know!" Replied Zidane. "Just open the door and let's see his new thongs." Steiner said, giggling. Zidane gasped, "Whoa! Has Sir Rusto-lot turned gay?"

"Not another Kuja." Mumbled Garnet. Zidane giggled and poured a whole bottle of beer on Steiner's head.

"Ha ha ha. Silly Rusty." Zidane said, and pointed, laughing. Rusty cough I mean Steiner pushed him playfully, "Hah hah, Zidane! You've always been a trouble maker."

Wow this really is getting weirder and weirder.

"Damn it! Can we play spin the bottle yet?" Whined Cinna. "Yay! I want to play, I want to play!" Zidane moaned.

"I'll kiss.. Garnet!" Marcus said.

Oh no you won't.. disgusting pervert.

"No! Disgusting. You put those filthy hands on me and I'll remove them. One by one." Threatened Garnet, moving away from him.

"Aww baby, c'mere, who's ya mommy?" Marcus asked, trying to hug Garnet, who was trying to get away from him. Zidane was practically passed out at the moment, and everyone else was watching, amused.

"Damn it you freakin' spoiled brat kid! You think yer so smart and shit, well guess what bitch? You're nothing but the filthy rat your fat ass mom is." Shouted Marcus, trying to slap Garnet.

What the hell is his problem?

"The hell's your problem!" Garnet asked, running away from his slap. Marcus grumbled, and grabbed Garnet, pushing him close to her, squeezing her with his hands.

I.. can't breathe! Get the hell off me you sick perverted ass hole!

Garnet winced, "GET THE HELL OF ME YOU SICK PERVERTED ASS HOLE!" She bellowed. Just then Zidane popped his head up rubbing it he looked at Marcus who was suffocating Garnet.

"What the hell are you doing?" Zidane asked, pushing Marcus off Garnet. Marcus just sat there, drunk as can be, laughing his ass off. Zidane turned to Garnet, who was crying at the moment.

"I.. can't take this anymore.. Sorry Zidane." Whispered Garnet, dashing out the door. Zidane followed after he shouting her name, "Garnet! Where are you going!"

A place to get away from these disgusting ass hole's that you call your friends.

Garnet fell down as soon as she ran into Kuja.

"Wow! Someone's in a big hurry!" Kuja observed. Garnet got up, not even bother to reply.

"Has Zidane hurt you? My dearest friend, don't let that monkey hurt you. He's nothing but trouble." Kuja explained. Garnet looked at him in the eye and said,

"Kuja. It's not Zidane! It's his friends. They're all self-centered perverted jerks. Kind of like you. Now LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" She cried, using as much language and temper as she could.

She dashed out of the cabin, and fell to the floor crying.

Why is this happening? Why are they all against me now? What did I do? I'm nothing like my mother. She's not even my real mother! So why are people comparing me?

Just then she heard foot steps coming towards her.

Zidane.

He came walking towards her, and sat down next to her.

"He says.. I'm like my mother. Zidane. I never want to be like my mother. My mother has killed thousands of people in her lifetime.." Garnet whispered. Zidane put his arm around her.

"Dagger. Don't listen to him. He's drunk and has no clue what he's saying. You're not like Brahne. You're you.. and you always will be. Don't let some ugly, dumb ass jerk like him judge you." He said, softly.

Garnet turned to him to meet his blue eyes. She loved those eyes. Those beautiful ocean blue eyes.. she just got lost in them so much. She then hugged him tightly,

"Thank you. " She whispered.

"You wanna go back to your cabin?" Asked Zidane, concern in his eyes.

I've never seen him so serious.

"Yeah. I should head back.. it's really late." Garnet replied. Zidane got up, offering a hand to her. She accepeted it, letting him pull her up.

"You want me to walk you back?" He asked. Garnet glanced at him, "That would be.. lovely." She said softly. Zidane gave her a cute smile, and put his hand out. She smiled, giggling, "M'lady, shall I walk your beauty home?" Zidane said.

"I would be honored to be walked home by my charming prince." Garnet added, accepting his hand. Zidane grinned at her. They walked passed the cabins not letting go of each other's hands.

"Guess I'm a pretty lucky guy walking you home, eh?" Zidane said, smirking like there was no tomorrow. Garnet pushed him playfully, "Oh, really? Well I would consider myself lucky.. at least to Eiko. She would do anything to be in my place." She said, laughing.

"She doesn't like have pictures of me all over her walls or anything, does she?" Asked Zidane, a serious look smacked on his face. Garnet smiled, and continued walking,

"No. Afraid not." Finally they were standing outside of Garnet's cabin.

"So. Guess this is it." Zidane said. Garnet turned to him, "Yeah. Well.. I had fun tonight... when you walked me home. Thanks." She whispered. Zidane waved to her.

Garnet fiddled with her keys trying to get in. Zidane started walking away.

Damn it.

She sighed and turned away, "Zidane. You happen to have an extra place for me to stay?" She asked. Zidane turned around smirking,

"Maybe."

-

"Don't worry about it." Zidane said, flagging Garnet's thanks. Garnet lied down on his couch. After a while, she dozed off.

Zidane watched her sleep in peace. He grabbed a blanket and put it around her, smiling.

"Good night Dag."

"Good night Zidane..."

Zidane smirked and bent down to kiss her,

"ZIDANE!"

Garnet shouted, pushing him. Zidane fell to the floor laughing his ass off. Garnet looked mad for a second but realizing his humor out of it, she gave him a small smile.

"Good night beautiful." Zidane said, turning off all the lights.
