AN: Again with the Labyrinth sound track, I don't know why but it's what I want to listen to. Really I look at what I've got and I'm like.. Meh. So there plot mine nothing more. Cheese. And yes I know I made Squall weak, but everyone has something that makes them brake. EVERYONE! So that's what that was. Sorry about that.

Four: Zell has a plan?

Quistis fallowed Zell out of the room with her head hung low. "Quisty?" She fallowed him right into his room before she looked up. "Yes, Zell." Zell had flopped down on his bed, and was kicking his feet around on the floor. Quistis let a small smile grace her lips. He looked like a kid. Maybe it was going to be the closest she would ever get to remembering him that way. Quistis made a quick mental note and sat down next to him.

"I wanna help you." Zell keep his eyes on the center of the figure eight he was making on the floor with his feet. "Help me with what?" Quistis swung her feet in the same fashion. Some how Zell had a habit of making people childish around him. "Get with Squall. The way you said you loved him last night. I.. I wanna help."

"Why?" Zell smiled kindly and bumped his leg with her. "Cuz you've always been nice to me, and gave me a chance. You never teased me, or said anything, when I said I was gay." Quistis playfully bumped his with her shoulder. "Thank you Zell, but what have you got planed?" Zell just smiled as he leaned on her. "Don't worry bout that. I've got it all up here. Just come over a bit earlier. OK?" Quistis nodded. "I still have no clue as to what you are going to do." Zell just smiled. "Well.. You professed your love to Squall last night, a lot of truth came out. Like how he really cared for you, and if we hadn't of pushed him and rinoa together, he would have fallen for you type of bull shit. Plus Rinoa said something things and pissed me off. So I'm helpin ya two."

"Thank you Zell." Smiling a bit brighter she pulled him into a hug. "I'll see ya here round.. Six forty five. Ok?" Quistis nodded and left the Room. She had a lot to ponder about. Walking away she bumped into someone. "O sorry." Looking up she found Irvine with a very grumpy face. "Sorry darlin."

"No. It's ok. I wasn't paying attention." Irvine looked down at her and smiled a bit. "You all right there darlin? Ya look a little distracted." Quistis rubbed the front of her skirt as always. "Yes. I'm alright." Irvine extended his arm to her. "Wanna get a bite to eat?" Quistis eyed him for a second then nodded. "Sure."

Quistis fallowed Irvine to a seat in the back. "What would ya like honey?" Quistis looked off at the line. It was short for once. "A chicken salad?" Irvine nodded. With that he took off. Quistis just watched the other students wonder around. Finally Irvine came back. "My lady." Quistis looked down and smiled. "Thank you." Slowly she picked at her food.

"Ya sure you're ok? Zell make ya do something?" Quistis eyed him oddly. "What would he make me do?" Irvine laughed. "I don't know. You just looked distracted." Quistis dumped the blue cheese dressing over her food. "Maybe I am. I'm just trying to remember what happened last night." Irvine stiffened. He looked like someone just dumped a bucket of ice water on him. "I think we should just act like that night never happened. Ya know. Leave it in the past." Rolling her eyes, Quistis looked back out at the students.

"Why Irvine? Are you hiding something that may have came out last night?" She meant it as a joke, but the silence and look of guilt in his eyes told her other wise. "Irvine?" Irvine took off his hat and smoothed hair before placing it back on his head. "What did Zell tell ya? We only did it once, and it was Selphie and Rinoa's idea, I just went with it. I didn't think that ya know.. Is Squall mad? Should I leave gar…"

"What are you talking about Irvine?" A rapid blush covered his body. "O, umm so you don't know.." Quistis shook her head in frustration. "Know what?" Irvine sunk in the chair. "O well… hehe, it's nothing then." Quistis leaned over to get a better look. Normally Irvine was a smooth ladies man, but seeing him like this.. It was very out of character. "Tell me."

"You don't wanna hear it.. It's a boring story. Nothing interesting." Irvine took a bite out of the meat on his plate. "Well, Selphie wanted to experiment. So she asked Rinoa. I guess she go the ok, cuz the next thing I knew they were in bed with me. I really think they had more fun than I did." Quistis dropped her fork. "You had a three way with Rinoa and Selphie?" Irvine nodded. "Ah. Irvine!" Quistis looked away.

"You wont say anything right?" Quistis sighed. "I'll stay quiet. Ok?" Irvine smiled. "Thank you soo much! I owe you big!" Quistis raised an eyebrow. "Yeah, you do." Quistis glanced at her watch. It was only five. "Ya got someplace to be?" Quistis groaned. "No.. well. Yes.. But…"

"IRVY!" Both turned to see Selphie running at him. "Self." Irvine pulled her into his lap and placed a kiss on her lips. "Well I'll just leave you two alone." With that she walked away. The thought of what Irvine had just said sickened her.

Quistis roamed the halls once more. She was very bored now. Maybe a book would fix that. Turning down the hall that lead to her room she spotted Rinoa outside Selphie's door. "She's with Irvine getting something to eat." The raven haired girl looked up at Quistis with mild sock. "O. OK. Thank you." Quistis took a few steps before she made up her mind. "Do you love Squall?"

Rinoa stopped. Her eyes were fixed past Quistis. "Why do you ask?" Shaking her head, Quistis walked past her. "Because when someone loves another, they stay with them. That's that." Rinoa couldn't move. She wasn't sure what to say. "I know he cares for you, but." Quistis held off. She was afraid of voicing her opinion. "He deserves better." Quistis took off down the hall. She didn't want to hear Rinoa tell her off or anything.

Once inside her room, she grabbed a favorite book. Curled into a ball she found her page. True is was a fairytale romance, but she loved to read it over and over. She was at her favorite part. It was where the prince came to save his love. She knew the story inside and out.

The prince had grown up in a castle with his father and sister, his mother died when he was three. Killed by a man from another kingdom. The princess' lady's maid had a young girl, who played with the prince and princess. Over the years they had grown up together, and soon the young girl took over her mother's job. Soon the young prince was engaged to marry a princess from another land. Heart broken the young girl locked herself in her room, only talking to the princess.

Once the princess from the other kingdom had come, the prince tried his best to act as if they were meant to be together, though his heart belonged to the young girl. Knowing he could never be true to the princess, he explained everything. Angered, the princess found the young girl, and hid her in a tower. Being a witch, she dressed as her casting a spell on the young prince. After doing so she went to the prince and said she had never loved him.

After spending several hours locked in his room, the princess came to see him. Being the crafty witch she was she told him that everything would be fine once they were wed. After giving him a gentle kiss she told him that they would get rid of the horrid maid for braking his heart, once the wedding was over. Shocked that she knew of the incident, he questioned her. For he had told no one of what had happened.

Looking the witch in the eyes he saw the same mud brown eyes that the young maid had, when she spoke of his one sided love. Though the young maid had pure clear blue eyes. It was then that it hit him. It was not his beloved who told him such lies, but the witch. She had placed a spell on him, so that he would see his true love when she spoke to him. Though the eyes of his lover were so true and so pure that she could not imitate them. Setting off he found the maid locked in a tower. After banishing the witch they lived happily ever after.

Quistis had read and reread that book time and time again. Just as she was reaching the spot where the prince had found the young maid, there was a knock on the door. Marking the page, she left the book on her bed to answer the door. "Yes?" There stood Zell, with Seifer behind him. Zell rammed his elbow into Seifer, who in turn grunted and glared. "My lady Quistis." Seifer sounded as if he was being forced to say it. "Zell and I would like to have you over so that the prick OW!" Zell had kicked Seifer in the shin. "Damnit! OK. Ok. So Zell can go over tonight's plan with you. Happy chicky?"

Zell looked as if he was debating weather or not to hit him again for the chick comment. "Yeah that works. Now… kiss my boots!" Seifer looked at Zell as if he had just sprung a fully grown Chocobo out of his ear. "You're shitting me!" Seifer glared when the blond shook his head no. "I am not kissing your boots!" Seifer turned to Quistis with a pleading look.

"Sorry Seifer I am not helping you. Come on you two." Seifer looked back at Zell who was grinning ear to ear. "You know you can kiss something other than my boots." Seifer glared in return to Zell's comment. "Move it you two." Quistis pushed her way past them as the words left her lips.

Quistis fallowed them into Zell's room. "OK what have you got planed Zell?" Quistis plopped herself onto Zell's bed. "Ok, we are going to try to get Rinoa and Selphie to admit that are in love with one another. Maybe?" Seifer sighed. "You got nothing. I knew it!" Seifer sat next to Quistis and rolled his eyes.

"Look Zell. It was very nice of you to try, but I don't know. Squall will just have to find out himself. I think if we forced it out, he would crawl back into his shell." Zell looked down and nodded. "Yeah that would suck."

"You said it Zell." Seifer placed his hands behind his head and fell back. Zell paced back and forth trying to rethink his plan. Quistis just sat there, thinking about her book. She was rather tired, only guessing, it was from the lack of sleep the night before. A thump brought Quistis out of her thoughts.

"Is Squall the jealous type?" His question was simple and rather odd. Quistis, being the one true Squall watcher shrugged. "I don't know." The grin on Zell's face brightened. "Lets find out." Zell glanced that the clock and smiled. Slowly he crawled between Quistis' legs. Before she could say anything, Zell hand forced his lisp on her, and a rouge hand slid it's way between her legs. A beep filled the room, and Squall appeared in the door frame, with a very shocked look on his face.
