Disclaimer: I don't own anything except my mind....................or do I?

A/N: Yeah I took an eternity to update again but as I've said many times before my computer sucks and it choose this month and much of last to act up. Anyways I want to thank Seriyu-the-ice-dragon, Yamamoto Kou, and silvawolf (I'm really sorry about messing your name up last chapter) for reviewing the last chapter and I'd also like to thank krystalpokemon for reviewing chapter 21, 22, and 23. Now let's get on with the fic.

Story: Swordsman Tournament

Chapter Twenty-Four: The Super Birthday Banza Party of the Super Shoom Part Uno (just try to figure out what I was smoking while I thought of that)

In that Place where Stuff Happens

All of the characters, and yes I do mean all of them even the ones I've been ignoring for prolonged periods of time like Rufus and his Scooby Doo rip-off group and all the villians were gathered in a really large building that looked like it was setup for a party.

They were also all glaring at the author as they were sure he was the one who brought them there (well all of them except Sephiroth who was still to busy ogoling Aeris to notice anything (You'd think he'd of gotten tired of that by now)). The author merly smiled at everyone around him as if they weren't all giving him their patented Glare of Death.

"LET'S PARTY!!" He suddenly shouted out and the once empty room was now full of party goods, like t.v.s and game systems, and food and all that other good stuff. While the majority of the people there just ran off and started having fun, the group of heros stopped to talk to the author (sometimes it sucks being the protaganist of a story, huh?).

"Why are we having a party?" Cloud decided to risk asking. The author merley got yet another big grin on his face before answering him.

"Cause Sephiroth won his fight..." and just as Cloud and several other victorious fighters looked pissed because they didn't get parties when they won the author continued speaking "...and to celebrate the fact that today this fic is one year old!!".

Everyone sat around thinking for awhile before deciding that was a good enough excuse to celebrate and started to relax. However, there was one person who wasn't realxed. In a dark and mysterious corner, Steve was being mysterious. Actually come to think of it mysterious isn't really the word for what Steve was doing. Confused, pissed, and highly frustrated were more like it as Steve, just like everyone else, had no idea what the hell a plot device does (he managed to sneak the plot device to the party.....please don't ask me how, you don't want to know).

While Steve was randomly messing with the plot device and nothing seemed to be happening (except when a pair of strangly moogle-shaped pants fell on his head) he finally got bored and threw the device away, not realizing the reprocussions of both messing with the device and throwing it away. For anyone who doesn't know a plot device is usually what people call things that further the plot (like coincidences in stories and events that no purpose other than leading to something important to the plot). However in a almost completly random fic like this, a plot device was able to do just about anything as long as you knew how to use it.

Steves random button pushing had managed to do several things. First it had accidentally summoned a few extra characters into the fic (namely the three kids from Kingdom Heats, and three more Links that all had diffrent colored outfits (The other Links from the Legend of Zelda The Four Swords Adventure)), secondly it had made that convient pair of pants appear for Steve who was now running around and bragging to everyone about how he now wore the human pants. Finally it had set Rufus hair on fire because.....while really there wasn't any reason for it, I just really like to torture villian or villian wannabes in Rufus case.

As if that wasn't bad enough throwing the plot device had also knocked over Rufus' latte. Now where he got a latte at a party that had little more than some pop, a bag of chips, and some donuts is beyoned me. Anyways he noticed the knocked over latte and did what anyone else would have done in that situation.

"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He started to scream at the top of his lungs, apparently forgetting entirly that his head was currently on fire. Well okay maybe that isn't want anyone would have done in his shoes but that's besides the point. Everyone was giving Rufus odd looks and thinking he should be more worried about his hair than some stupid latte. Well everyone but Naraku was giving him odd looks, as Naraku was giving him an envious look and wishing he'd thought of that particular way of acting like a complete moron before Rufus. Finally Reno decided to reming his boss that his head was currently on fire. Rufus looked up and laughed a little before smiling at everyone (which raised the creepiness meter big time).

"Thanks, I completly forgot about that" He said in a voice so calm you'd think he just forgotten the morning paper. Then his face changed so fast from his calm expression to one of shock and horror that it took everyone a minute to realize that he had started to run around screaming unintelligible things that kinda sounded like "AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!", and "WHY ISN'T ANYONE HELPING ME!!?!" The heros, being the good sumaritans they are, decided to sit back and enjoy the show...

Priview For Next Chapter:

The Next Fight in the Tournament, More Partying, The Chocoboo Army, and Steve! All of this and probably some other really random things on the next exciting installment of......Swordsman Tournament!

A/N: To be quite honest I wanted to get the entire party done in one chapter but I'm kinda pressed for time right now and I really wanted to post this on the day my fic turned one year old so I guess you only half the party for now. If you want to see anything happen at the party just drop a review and tell me what it is and I'll try to fit it in. Till next time, Bye Everybody!
