" You did what?" was what could be heard practically a block away. Shuyin rotated his pinky finger in his ear to help him hear again. Vincent and the others had heard about what had happened from Cloud and some other random classmates and needless to say, Vincent wasn't very happy. After all, they did have a plan and they were supposed to stick to it, god dammit!

" Geez, what the hell, man? You don't have to yell, I'm right here you know!"

Vincent was still fuming and decided that smacking Shu up side the head would only lead to other unwanted disputes. So instead, he opted for going out side to sit on the porch to cool off, having slammed the door with a house-rattling bang behind him. Cloud was sulking in a corner of the living room watching Gundam Wing on the TV with a large bowl of Ben& Jerry's Cherry Garcia ice cream in possession. He didn't look very happy but rather humiliated and a tad upset. He still hadn't solved his problem from earlier.

" So, what did you do this time?"

Shuyin looked up, startled to see Squall looking at him levelly, his eyes were accusing, as usual, and his face showed distain. So naturally, he smirked in his cocky way and glared right back.

" I took him into the bushes and raped him."

Squall just stared at him, unsure of what to say. Over in the kitchen, Tidus had been making himself a sandwich and had, unfortunatley, walked right into the wrong part of the conversation at the wrong time. He too stood there like an idiot, trying to get his brain to function and process what had just been said. Cloud was to absorbed into his program to have heard. After the stunned silence got a little too awkward it finally clicked for Tidus, and his face was one of disgust.

" Eww!"

" I'm kidding, stupid ass. God, I'm not that desperate! Besides, if I had the urge, Lenne would suit all my needs."

" Except the fact that she swore chastity until marriage."

Shuyin shot Squall a look that said 'shut up and stop correcting me before I go bad on you' and turned his attention back to a very flushed Tidus. Shuyin's smirk returned.

" Oh, that's right! I'm sorry, I forgot that you're still a virgin!"

Tidus, breaking out of his dazed state, was quick to retort to that one.

" So! You say it like it's a bad thing! And, incase you forgot, Squall is right. So are you!"

Feeling triumphant, Tidus stuck his tongue out at Shuyin who did it right back. Squall rolled his eyes at their immaturity. Instead of watching the two have their little battle, he turned and decided to join Cloud in the living room for some R&R of his own.

Later that night, Cloud was in the study room doing his homework and the others were, yet again, plotting his doom.

" Okay, now no stupid stuff this time and I mean it! We don't want this to turn into a freak drama show!"

Vincent cast a sidelong glance at Shuyin who shrugged it off casually as if he had no idea what he was talking about. Vince found himself, once again, resisting the urge to smack him. So instead, Squall did it for him.

" Ahhhh! What was that for?" He asked irritated, as he rubbed his head. Squall shushed him so as not to alert Cloud of their scheming.

" Shh! Shut up and pay attention would you? After all, you started this, so if you wanna see it through, then shape up and get your ass in gear, alright?"

Shuyin reluctantly mumble an agreement. Vincent hid a smile and cleared his throat so he could continue.

" Thank you, Squall. Now then, everyone remembers the plan?"

All three nodded.

" Good. Now make sure that you're not directly involved, or things could get a bit outta hand. Your only there to provide him with advice and encouragement, all right? This is your mission. Do you get me?"

The others nodded and then they all went their own ways. Squall took to the shower, Tidus to the kitchen (again?), Shuyin went out on the porch to talk with Lenne, and Vince decided to check up on Cloud. Upon entering the study room, he was greeted by Cloud who had stopped to stretch.

" How's it going?"

Cloud relaxed and sat back into his chair and smiled lazily.

" Fine. I'm done actually, so now I have some free time before bed. Will you guys be sleeping over again?"

Vincent recalled what happened the last time they did and shuddered. Cloud laughed for he recalled it too. Vince gave in and chuckled with him then he politely declined.

" Sorry Cloud, but I don't think I could go through another night like that one and keep what little of my sanity I have left and not kill someone."

Cloud laughed again. How true was that? He completely understood and didn't blame him. With Shuyin and Tidus in the same place at the same time, under the same roof was a bad combination. Shuyin didn't hate Tidus. He just picked on him because he saw him as a little brother of sorts. It was just his way of showing that he cared.

" Hey, jack ass, that's mine!"

" Oh really? Didn't see your name on it."

" Give it back, dammit, I'm hungry!"

" So what else is new?"

" Gimme gimme gimme!"

" Nah, I think I'll just eat it myself."

" No way, you bastard! If you're hungry, go make your own!"

" What's the matter short-shit, can't reach?"

Speak of the devils. Cloud and Vincent sweat dropped as they continued to listen to the squabble out in the dinning room.

" Why are you being such an ass hole? Give me back my sandwich!"

" I don't think so, sorry! If ya want it, ya have to get it!"

" That's it! I'll give you three seconds before I kick your ass!"

" Yeah right! Your just looking for a reason to touch my ass, you twisted little moogle lover!"

SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK SMACK!

"That's it! I had enough of your undisputed love affair! Now shutSMACK up SMACK and SMACKtry to get along for more then two seconds! And if I hear another word- I swear to Hyne- I'll kill you! And for heaven's sake, give the moogle lover back his sandwich!"

Cloud and Vincent found themselves suppressing laughter as the two blonds faced a very irritated Squall. The red marks on their faces would be evidence of the punishment resulting from their childishness. Squall could only take so much bull shit after all.

A few days later, the Plan was put into motion. Vincent had called his girl friend Tifa and asked if she could give Aerith a call.

" What for? Is there something you want me to tell her?"

" Well… just tell her that Cloud needs a ride to the grocery store."

" What? Why can't you take him?"

" No, you don't understand. It has to be Aerith because… uh, well, because they- he needs to talk to her."

" Then why didn't he call her?"

God, women and their questions!

" He would have if he hadn't of forgotten her number."

" Oh, well in that case, do you have a pen-?"

" So you'll call her-great-thanks-love you-bye!"

And with that, Vincent hung up hastily, cutting off Tifa on the other end of the line. God was he going to hear about that later…. But, on a brighter note, this was where the fun starts. He gave thumbs up to his three companions in the back yard. They nodded their acknowledgment and started the Plan. First, it was Shuyin's part of the Plan. Hopefully, it wouldn't end in utter chaos.

Cloud came into the living room, wearing blue jeans, a dark indigo blue button up shirt, and sneakers. He looked at Vincent, who eyed him, oddly, wondering why he was looking at him like that. Fidgeting uncomfortably, Cloud asked,

" So are we ready to go?"

Vincent thought of an excuse quickly.

" Sorry, there's been a change in plans. I can't take you, little low on gas. But! I got a call from Aerith and she said that she would be happy to give you a ride to the store!"

Cloud looked a little on the pale side, and then there was the sound of a car out front then the honk of a horn.

"Oh! Guess who's here!'

If Cloud had been pale before, then he was absolutely white now. Before he could protest, however, he found himself pushed out side, the door slammed and locked behind him.

" Okay, Strify-boy! Lets see how well you do when on a different kind of battle field."

Chuckling evilly to himself, Shuyin wrung his hands together gleefully at what was yet to come.

Laguna-Chan: Sorry if it's a little slow and doesn't really seem to be going anywhere.

Vincent: (looks at unconscious Cloud) Umm…..

Shuyin: (laughs evilly)

Squall: What ever. Don't you have something to say Laguna-Chan?

Laguna-Chan: (stares stupidly)

Squall: To a certain group of people?

Laguna-Chan: Um ….I love you guys?

Squall: No, the other group of people.

Laguna-Chan:….Oh! Yeah! I want to thank all my reviewers out there! Thank you so much for all the positive feed back! o Hugs for all of you!( hugs reviewers)

Tidus: I want hugs too!( gets chased by rabid fan-girls and gets glomped to death)

Vincent: 0.o;

Squall: What ever.

Shuyin: (Laughs like an insane idiot)

Cloud: XP

Laguna-Chan:…. Anyways, hope you guys like my stories! And trust me, this story will get better, I promise, so hang in there!

Tifa: There you are!

Vincent: O.O;-Eeep!

Tifa: (grabs Vincent by ear and drags him away yelling about being rude and hanging up on people)

Random fan-boy: OMG! Tifa-muffin! I love you! (Chases her)

All: sweat drop

Squall: What ever.

Shuyin: God that's annoying.

Squall:(glares at him)

Laguna-Chan: Now now, behave boys. You especially, Shu. I'm still gonna make something bad happen to you for last time!

Shuyin: Ooooh I'm scared.

Squall: You should be…. I am.

Another random fan-boy attempts to chase Tifa and Laguna-Chan sees him: Ahh! No! Bad! Bad random fan-boy! No Tifa for you! (Beats him with broom) Back! Back I say! Back to the pit from wince you came!

Squall: --; whatever.

Shuyin: next chapie!
