*********** Irvine watched as Selphie ran back and forth in their room, stuffing just about everything she owned into one suitcase. "Uh....Selph? Selphie? Sunshine!?" Selphie seemd to comepleatly ignor him as she jumped on the suit case, closing the object.
"Whatcha need, hon?" She asked, panting from her running.
"I need to know why you stuffed all of your things it that suitcase." He said, sitting next to her.
Selphie sighed and fell back on the bed. "I'm just getting ready for the festival."
He looked down at her. "But the Garden Festival isn't for several months. And I don't think you'll be needing all this." Irvine said as he patted the suitcase.
"Not the Garden festival, cowboy. The gift of the faries festival starting in Esthar next week." Selphie jumped up, grabbing one of the three rabbits she had adopted yesterday and danced around the room. "Fairy festival, the best of them all. Fairy festival, gonna have a ball!" She sung, holding the bunny high in the air. The rabbit, which she named "Mr. Fluffy-pants", wiggled it's nose and stared at her.
"How come I never heard of this?" Irvine said as he picked up a bunny that hopped by, petting it's soft black fur. "Seems like a big deal."
"Remember? Matron told us about it. Esthar is usually a barren waste land for most of forever. But every ten years, it's snows for the entire week, covering the entire area of Esthar in a feather light blanket of snowy softness." She sighed, staring at something only she could see dreamly.
Irvine looked at her with an eyebrow raised. "Right. And the fact that you plan on pelting Squall with snowballs has nothing to do with it?"
"How did you know?" She looked back up at him, her mouth suddenly opening wide. "You read my diary!"
"What? It's not my fault you leave it under the pillow with a red ribbon for sexual fantasies, yellow for how your day went and blue for what you plan to do to some very specific people in Garden." He said, smirking and setting the black bunny down. As he left, he heard compleat silence, until he heard Selphie scream just before she dove onto his back and grased his head in a vice like grip.
"Don't you ever read my diary again! I'm gonna get you!" She wailed, thrasing his head from side to side, seemingly tring to break it.
Irvine laughed and reached behind him, trying playfully to get Selphie off his back. "You shouldn't have left it under the pillow!" He laughed as he caught a hold of her dress and flipped her over onto the bed. "Now calm down. I only read the first page of each one. Not everything."
She reached up and grabbed him by the collar. "You know too much!" The small girl growled and reached up with her legs, clutching Irvines neck in a death hold. "Are you going to read my dairy again?" Selphie asked sweetly.
Irvine gasped and beat on the side of her right leg, but it was no good. It was like a boa constricter. "No, ma'am."
"Good." She smiled and released him, rolling backwards off the bed. Before she could strighten herself, she tripped over a coat hanger and fell back. Luckly, Irvine was there to catch her. "Thanks, cowboy." Irvine simply nodded and began to leave, but Selphie jumped on his back, stole his hat and put it on her head. "Get along, little Irvy!" She whooped and yelled all the way down the hall.

The chakram flew at Squall, but he quickly knocked it away with his gunblade. The offending weapon flew back into Fujin's grasp as she smirked. She and Squall were in the Quad, training out of bordem. "You've really improved, Fuu." Squall said.
"YOU TOO." She said, getting her weapon ready again. "GOING EASY?" Fujin asked, somewhat glaring at him.
"You wish." He said with a small smirk. His tightened on his lionheart and he stared down Fujin, sizing her up for another assult. Squall's eyes suddenly go wide as he rushes forward at her. Fujin was ready for him, side stepping him and cutting through the air with her weapon, just stopping inches from his neck. Squall stood frozen minuet, then turned, knocking her weapon away. Slashing at her as fast as he could, it was futile. Fujin blocked ever blow.They both spun, their weapons contacting, the force knocking them both out of their hands.
"Hand to hand?" Squall asked.
"AGGRED." Fujin nodded, then rushed at him, throwing almost unfollowable punches. Squall blocked them all, and stepped away. Fujin quickly followed with more punches, but Squall caught her left hand, twisting it behind her back. He kicked the back on her knee, sending her down to one knee and held her there.
"Surrender." Squall said.
Growling slighty, Fujin nodded and felt Squall relase her from his grip. She reache behind her and grabbed his hand, flipping him over her shoulder and pinned him to the ground. As she looked down at him, hersilver hair hanging there, she couldn't help but reach out and stroke his cheek. "SURRENDER."
Recovering from his shock, Squall nodded. "Yeah." Fujin stood and helped him up, dusting herself off. "That was a good move. Underhanded, but good. " He said as he dusted himself off as well. As he attempted to dust the dirt off he back, he groaned a bit in annoyance at the spots he couldn't reach. "Fu, help me get my back."
Fujin nodded and walked behind him, dusting off his dirt stained white shirt. The stain themselves wouldn't come out so easily and had to be washed out. He brushing led her to the small of his back, where she saw the back of his pants were covered with dust as well. With a strange glint in her eye, she continued to dust as if it were normal and dusted off the back of his legs before smacking off the dust on his rear end.
All the blood in his body rushed to his cheeks as Squall felt Fujin continuly spank him. He reached behind him and grabbed her hand, pulling her close to him. Fujin suddenly blushed as he whispered something into her ear, then turned, grabbed his jacket and left the Quad.
That one word raced through her mind a million times in one second before she could breathe again. //Oh yes, Leonhart.// She told herself as she picked up her weapon. // Later.//
********
//Why?// He asked himself over and over again as he filled out form after form of never ending paper work. //Why did I become Headmaster?// Sighing, Cid dropped his pen and leaned back in his chair, grumbling under his breath until he felt an arm wrap around his chest. "Hello, Edea."
Edea smiled and leaned her head against his. "You sound tired, dear. Why don't you take a little break and I'll make you some tea." Kissing his head, she patted his chest and walked off for a bit. "I understand you're taking the Garden to Esthar. For the festival, no doubt."
Cid cocked an eyebrow. "How did you...I didn't tell you. I wanted it to be a surprise for you. I know how much you liked to last festival you and I attented."
"I over heard Nida talking about it yesterday." Sighing, she gave him a cup of tea and made one for herself and took a seat in one of the two chairs in front of his desk. "It's been how long since our last Festival?" Edea said as she took a long sip of the steaming liquid.
Cid stroked his chin like an elderly man with a beard and thought for a moment. "20 years, I belive. Where does the time go?" He chuckled and finished off the tea.
"Yes. It does seem to fly, dosen't it?" Edea said in a low tone of voice.
Nodding he stood and walked over to the window, staring out at the Balamd horizen. "I remember it like it was yesterday. First, you dragged me shopping in almost every store that you could see. After that, we went to one of the most fancy, and expensive resturants in the city and we finished the day on the roof of the hotel we were staying in." Cid smiled and closed his eyes. "Where..."
"Where you purposed to me." She walked over behind him and wrapped his arms around his stomach and rested her head on his back, closing her eyes and letting out a loving sigh. "And where I told you of my powers."
"20 years." His hands settled on hers as opened his eyes again. "Wonderful years."
********
He stared at her. She stared at him. Neither blinking for an instant. "You're not gonna beat me, Zell honey. I can stare at papers for hours on end and not even think of blinking." Quistis' tone was somewhat snobby and he smirk was plain evil.
"We'll see, Quitsy. We'll see." Zell stated. The contest had been lasting for almost two hours with no end in sight. "You may be able to stare at papers, but I can stare at games for days on end until my eyes crust over."
//Dammit. He's right. I've seen it. I need to tip the odds in my favor.// The blond thought. Her smirk grew even more evil as she reached inder the table and unzipped her knee high boots. She slipped them off and extened her leg forward until her toes rested on his knee. // Let's see him ignore this.// Quistis loved how he reacted when she did this.
After he swallowled the large lump in his throat, Zell pushed her foot off his knee. His gaze never left hers, but it did seem to become lower. His cheeks grew bright red when he felt her foot touch his knee again and move up his baggy short. //Oh, man.// He thought as he tryed to push her foot away. //She wouldn't, would she? Not here.// How little he knew her.
Quistis slipped down in her seat a bit further until she could feel her foot brush against his boxers. //Give in. You know you want to. C'mon Zelly, baby.// She tought , her face seeming to say what she tought.
He shook his head quickly and kept his gaze on her blue eyes. "No way. I will not be beaten by such under handed tatics, even if they are by the women I love."
A sigh of frustration came from Quistis as she sat back up. //Damn! What would make him blink or at least look away?// Her eyes became wide as saucers, the smirk on her soft lips becoming even more evil looking. "Zell, look!" She yelled. "They're giving away foot long hotdogs!" And pointed behind him.
"Yeah right. Like I'm stupid enough to fall for that. How dumb do you think..." His sentence trailed off as he saw a cadet walk by with their plate, loaded of said hotdogs. "Oh, great hyne." Was all he said before he dashed from his seat and to the counter. "Gimme two dozen foot longs!"
"Sorry, Zell. We're all out. No more today. And no shipment till next week." The lady behind the counter said, her shoulder shrugging.
Zell turned and looked at Quistis, pale and his mouth agap. He slowly walked out of the cafeteria as Quistis had her head on the table, laughing until she felt as if her lungs would explode.

"FETCH." Fujin yelled and threw the stick. Angelo barked and ran after it, grasped it in his mouth and ran back to Fujin, dropping in at her feet. Fujin smiled lightly and picked up the stick. She reared her hand back and sent it forward. Angelo ran in the direction he thought she had thrown the stick. He sniffed here and there, but could find no trace of the stick. Walking back over to Fujin, the animal saw it behind her back and barked. She couldn't help but smile.
"Having fun?" Squall said as he walked up behind her.
"MUCH."
"Glad to hear it."
After a few moments passed and all was silent. This wasn't odd to Fujin. What was odd was Squall's expression. It was worryed, sad and somewhat angry. "WHAT'S WRONG?" She asked and walked over to him, hoping to comfort him in someway.
Another dead silence hung there for a few minutes before Squall sopke. "Laguna called."
"SO?"
"He want's us to stay with him while we're in Esthar for the festival of the faries."
"SO BAD?"
"No. What is is that he dosen't know that Rinoa and I broke up."
Fujin nodded, finally understanding.
"It's a bit more worse. After we readmitted you, Raijin and Sefier to Garden and we all went to Esthar for Selphie's birthday, Laguna had I had a talk."
"ABOUT?"
"You, Seifer and Raijin. And I'm glad I was able to talk to him. If I hadn't, you three would be serving fifty to life in the Esthar maximum prison. " Squall sighed and rested his head on his hands. "I was lucky enough to do it then. What will I do now? He dosen't seem he's just going to forgive and forget. "
"DON'T WORRY." Fujin offered.
"He might blow up on you. I don't want to see that happen."
"BEEN THERE. DONE THAT." She stated.
"You sure?"
"AFFIRMITAVE."
Squall nodded. "Alright." A wram feeling spread over him when he felt her hand touch his. He looked up and stared into her eyes as he cupped her cheek in his hand and leaned forward to kiss her.
********
And CUT! Well, that's chapter 5. Do the chapters seem short? Do alot of the people seem OOC? Please, tell me people. I'm unsure of my abilities! *drops to knees* Encourage me! *Tonberry smacks him* Ow. Thanks Tonberry. Well, it's that time again. "Word from the Ton." *drum roll* Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer's Tonberry!
Tonberry: *walks onto a stage;people cheer; clears throat and adjust his mic* Lose one friend. Lose all friends. Lose yourself.*bows;people cheer*
Wow. Inspiring. *claps and give Tonberry award*
