Okay another story, this one was a lot of fun for me to write. It's a little different because I use modern things in this story, but I guarantee you will enjoy it! So here it is! Read and Review pleaseeee!

Where for Art Thou…. Juliet?

Chapter One

It happened so fast. Squall was laughing at Seifer, then Seifer was laughing at Squall, and then they both ended up on the floor in a fistfight.

"You better be lucky I don't have my gun blade!" Squall yelled while punching Seifer in the head and anywhere else his fist could reach.

"Right back at you! Chicken- shit!" Seifer said, returning the blows.

The instructor was helpless to stop them, and wasn't able to break them up. She was new to the garden, and this was her first day. She panicked, knowing she was going to be fired.

"Don't be jealous I get to make out with your girlfriend, Squall. She was mine first, you just got the left- overs."

This fired Squall up. He punched him over and over. Seifer blacked out but he kept on punching.

Irvine ran into the room. He heard the commotion and came to help. "Squall stop! You are going to kill him!" He grabbed Squall be the shoulders and pulled him off Seifer, whose face was read and bruised. Blood was everywhere.

"This is all Selfies fault!" Shouted a girl, who was trying to help Seifer. "Her and her dumb plays!"

Selfie had heard about the play Romeo and Juliet from some students from another school, and just HAD to perform it. Due to the fact only one person sighed up for the part of Romeo, and only one sighed up for Juliet, those parts were given to those people.

Who just happen to be Seifer and Rinoa.

They had just found out this morning about the parts and hell broke lose.

"Do not blame their childish tempers on Selfie, she was just doing something she enjoyed!" Irvine said, and for a minute the students thought there was going to be another fight.

The instructor and Irvine (because the instructor made him) carried Seifer to the hospital wing. And Squall, who was responsible for the fight, was sent to see Headmaster Cid.

He walked into Cids office. Cid and Nina were happily discussing something, when they both looked at Squall. They were immediately curious as to why he had blood on his shirt.

Squall sighed. Let the yelling begin.

Rinoa was waiting for Squall outside of the elevator. He had only been there half an hour, but to him it felt like days. She was at first happy to see him, but them noticed the blood on his shirt.

Must have something to do with why he was sent to the office…

Rinoa went to ask Squall a question, but before it came out Squall yelled, "You can not be in the play, I wont have it."

She looked puzzled, then angry. "Who are you now, my father? Why can't I be in the play?"

"Do you know who's playing Romeo?" Squall asked even louder.

"Yes I do, Seifer is, and he is much more of a man than you are for even putting his name down to try out!"

Squall turned red. "MORE OF A MAN? I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW THE ONLY REASON HE SHOWED HALF AN INTEREST IN THIS PLAY WAS BECAUSE HE KNEW YOU WERE PLAYING JULIETTE AND I'D BE MAD AT THE FACT THERE WAS A LOVE STORY ABOUT IT!"

He had lost his temper, and Rinoa quickly regretted saying what she had,

"AND THE ONLY REASON HE WAS IN THE PLAY TO BEGIN WITH WAS BECAUSE RAJIN AND FUJIN SIGHED HIM UP WITHOUT HIS PERMISSION! SO DON'T U DARE SAY HE'S A BETTER MAN THAN I AM!"

Rinoa stared at the ground, red from embarrassment. Many students had gathered around to see what the commotion was.

She was about to cry, but she was determined not to show it. "I…I'm sorry…I just don't know what I was thinking…I shouldn't have said that and I'm sorry.

Squall looked at her, and then held her in his arms while she cried.

"Don't cry Rinoa, I'm sorry I yelled."

Everyone was staring, but they didn't care. He just held her in his arms and wouldn't let go.

Seifer woke up in the hospital wing, his head pounding and his eye swollen. He was a wreck.

Rajin and Fujin were beside his bed, waiting for him to wake. They smiled at him as he laid there, blinking in confusion.

He bolted up quickly, remembering the fight. "Who the hell signed me up for the play? Because of that dick, I got my ass kicked, and it was to a chicken- shit!"

Rajin and Fujin tried to hide the guilty looks on their faces. "Rude," Replied Fujin.

Rajin nodded "Totally rude of that person, they should be ashamed. We will take care of him for you, Seifer."

Seifer gritted his teeth. "YOU TWO WERE THE ONES THAT DID THIS TO ME?"

Rajin and Fujin avoided his eyes, looking at the walls and the ceilings. "We thought you might like the play, to you know, cheer you up." Rajin said quietly.

"Happy," Fujin agreed.

He couldn't stay angry. I mean, he wasn't the kind of person to EVER support the garden by being in a play, or the type of person to look like a fool on stage, but his friends wanted the best for him.

He sighed and let the anger go, and smiled the best he could.
