Final Fantasy VIII Goes to…
The Park!
It was a nice day in Deling City. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and the Balamb gang was happily on their way to Deling City Park. They were again all squished into Squall's tiny car. Selphie was happily singing songs.
"She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes! She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes! She'll be comin' round the mountain, She'll be comin' round the mountain, She'll be comin' round the mountain when she comes!" Selphie sang.
"Butterfly, I think you should sing a different song." Irvine advised. Selphie slightly frowned but changed the tune anyway.
"Anything to please my cowboy." She said as she gave him a slight peck on the lips.
Selphie thought for a few moments on what she should sing. It first started out soft.
"I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves everybody's nerves everybody's nerves I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes. I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves everybody's nerves everybody's nerves I know a song that get's on everybody's nerves and this is how it goes"
"Butterfly, not that song either." Irvine said as everyone in the car nodded their heads in agreement. Selphie was feeling rather discouraged because any song she chose they didn't like.
"Well what song do you want me to sing Irvy?" Selphie said as Irvine thought deeply about his choices. The entire car waited for an answer hoping that it wasn't some annoying little cheap romance song.
"Sing Girls just wanna have fun." Irvine said with a huge smirk on his face. The car seemed to groan as Selphie began to sing the happy tune.
"doo doo doo doo." Selphie sang the tune and began to sing the words.
"Hey were almost there!" Ellone yelled as the entire car cheered. Selphie just kept on singing. She was obviously oblivious that everyone, but Irvine, was just itching to get out of the car.
The car came to a sudden stop as Squall parallel parked, got out, and filled the meter with some spare change that Squall just happened to find on the sidewalk.
The group got out of the car and ran to the grassy area. Zell and Seifer began to play football, and Quistis, Rinoa, Ellone, and Selphie went to feed the ducks at the pond. Squall just sighed as he walked slowly to the picnic area. Irvine began flirting with some of the girls.
"OH ZELLY!" Ellone called from the shore of the pond. Zell looked over at Ellone as Seifer threw the football at Zell.
"Chicken-wuss, look out!" Seifer called as Zell looked back only to get a face full of rubber. He was instantly knocked onconcious as Ellone ran over to get a closer look at what happened.
"Oh my gosh Seifer what did you do?" Seifer ran over to the crime scene and kneeled down to make sure Zell was okay.
"Chicken! Little buddy! WHAT HAVE I DONE!" Seifer cried out as Zell faintly came back to consciousness.
"Seifer?" Zell asked in a hushed tone. Everything around him was spinning and he couldn't see straight.
"CHICKEN! LITTLE BUDDY! You're okay!" Seifer said as he dipped down and pulled Zell into a tight hug.
"Seifer! You're squishing me!" Zell yelled as he lost his breath. Seifer let Zell go, and stood back from Zell.
Ellone came running up and slapped Seifer.
"How dare you! Hugging my boyfriend!" Ellone pulled Zell to his feet and stormed off, dragging Zell behind.
Zell was mouthing the words "help me".
"AAAAHHH!" Selphie yelled as everyone looked over at the running girl. A large goose was chasing Selphie. It was honking very loud and chasing Selphie.
Irvine was seen running out of a group of girls, and chased the goose.
"YOU'RE GOING DOWN DUCK! I WONT ALLOW YOU TO GET MY GIRL!" Irvine yelled as Selphie fell to the ground. Irvine tackled the duck, and fell to the ground as well.
"QUACK!" The duck quacked as Irvine pulled him away from Selphie.
"Now you listen here mister Duck." Irvine said to the duck who wasn't really paying attention, "Don't you dare chase my..." Irvine said as a pigeon flew overhead and dropped a black and white goop on his cowboy hat.
"Oh that pigeon's going down." Irvine said pulling his gun over his shoulder and aimed at the bird. He would have shot the bird if it hadn't been for Selphie.
"No Irvy! Don't shoot! Every animal has a reason to live! Please.. Don't shoot." Selphie said as she grabbed ahold of his arm.
Irvine was convinced to not shoot the bird, so he put his gun back in the sling, and turned back to the girl next to him.
"Here you go mister goose." Selphie said throwing a piece of bread into his mouth and running off to feed the other animals.
"LUNCH!" Irvine heard Seifer yell in the distance. Irvin headed over to the picninc table where everyone was getting situated. He sat himself down next to Selphie who was working on cutting her peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
"Today is a good day." Selphie said putting her knife down on the table and taking a bite of the triangle sandwich. Irvine smiled at her and took a bit of his own sandwich made of ham, lettuce, cheese, and a dijon dressing.
After lunch, Selphie and Quistis took all the lunch items out to the car and sat down at the table with Irvinetalking, while Squall and Seifer played a game of catch.
"Squall!" Rinoa yelled from a high branch in a tree. Squall ran over to the tree and spotted her towards the top.
"Rinoa what are you doing up there?" Squall yelled trying to get his voice to reach her.
"I was climbing this tree because i used to all the time when i was a little kid, but i forgot how i got up here, and i can't get down!" Rinoa yelled holding onto the branch tightly. Squall sighed and began to climb the tree. He got up there in no time at all and looked down.
"Uh-oh." Squall said barely audible, but loud enough.
"Uh-oh isn't the best thing to say when you're in a tree at the top!" Rinoa said, giggling at her own comment.
"I forgot something before I came up here." Squall said, pausing to create suspense.
"I'm afraid of heights." Squall said as he looked at Rinoa. He was gripping the branch so tight that his knuckles were snow white.
"Well now what are we going to do?" Rinoa asked as Squall surveyed the area.
"Seifer got Irvine to play catch with him, and Selphie and Quistis are talking. I don't think we are going to get down anytime soon." Squall said when suddenly he felt a raindroplet on his finger.
"This really isn't good." Rinoa said, "We're stuck up in a tree, right at the beginning of a rain storm, which means that we'll probably be up here for a while." Rinoa pouted, but Squall tried his best to cheer her up.
"Well, we could try just going down slowly. One branch at a time." Squall said, brightening up Rinoa's mood instantly.
"That's a good idea. I'll go first so you don't get so scared okay?" Rinoa said as Squall nodded.
They worked their way down the tree slowly. It was a very slow process, but they made it down eventually. By the time they had gotten down, they ran to the car soaking wet.
Everyone was waiting for them in the car, wanting to leave.
"Gosh, where were you guys?" Ellone asked very impatiently.
"We were stuck in a tree for your information." Rinoa said giving Ellone much attitude.
"OOO" Selphie said like a little girl.
"Squall and Rinoa.. Sitting in a tree.. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." Selphie sang as Squall started the car. He knew that it was going to be a long ride home.
"Is everyone in here?" Rinoa asked as everyone one replied yes.
"Okay lets get going Squall. Before it gets raining any harder." Rinoa said as the car took off down the road.
