Author: Intrigue with the chapter's title? Hehe just read and see. Welp here's the next chapter! Enjoy reading!

Leon: (*he suddenly gets up from his bed coz he was startled at the sound of his door opening) Love you......(*~huh?) R-Rinoa!

Rinoa: (*who happens to hear what Leon did say) L-Love me?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Continuation..

Rinoa: L-Love me?

Leon: Huh? What? (*changing the subject) Rinoa what are you doing here? And how...?

Rinoa: Of course this is my room! Room 518!

Leon: This is "your" room?

Rinoa: Yeah! This is my key. (*showing the key to Leon with the number 518)

Leon: Here is mine (*also showing his key)

Rinoa: Huh? We have the same key?

Leon: Hmm maybe we should talk to the receptionist downstairs. She must've handed me the wrong key. Rinoa, if this is your room, where did you put your stuffs? I didn't see any.....

Rinoa: Oh my things were under the bed. Sure you didn't touch anything?

Leon: Huh? (*looking underneath the bed) Oh I see.

Rinoa: Come on Leon, let's go and speak to the receptionist.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seifer: Oh come on Instructor just one bite!

Quistis: (*other line) I SAID.......

Seifer: WHOA? Hey, don't scream that loud! (*taking the phone away from his ears) Geez, she sounded like a T-Rexaur.

Irvine: T-Rexaur?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quistis: (*gasps at the sight of the big reptile in front of her)

Quistis: (*dodging the powerful attack, she hastily swings her whip at the reptile's face making it howl in pain. She accidentally dropped the phone near the reptile)

Seifer: (*mocking Quistis) Hey Ms-T-Rexaur! Like it or not, we're going to open this box here. (*~heck she really sounds like a true T-Rexaur) (*growls can be heard at the other line) (*at Irvine) Irvine, I think there's something wrong with Quistis.

. Using its powerful jaws, the gruesome creature pulls her up then swings its gigantic tail once more, hitting Quistis' stomach

Seifer: Hello? Quistis what's going on?

Irvine: (*grabbed the phone from Seifer and he listens to the sound from the other line) OH MY!!! QUISTIS!!!

Seifer: What?

Irvine: she said AHHHHHH!!! (*imitating Quistis' voice)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quistis: AHHHH!!!!! (* touching her stomach) Argh....(*Looking in front of her, hoping that the T- Rexaur didn't notice where she was)

Quistis: (*~think Quistis! I don't wanna be a part of this lizard's food chain. Ugh! I cannot move my body..I don't wanna die! Leon, please come and rescue me!) (*unaware, tears start to flow from her cheeks, she closes her eyes) Leon.. (*~Oh no, I'm dead....I'm dead...I'm...huh? still alive?) (*She slowly opens her eyes and was shock to see the reptile's tongue and large teeth) AHHH!!!

?????: You can put your pretty face off its mouth now.

Quistis: LEON?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rinoa: (*chuckles) Ha ha ha! She must've got a crush on you. Did you see her expression? Why, she even winks at you! (*smiling)

Leon: Nah..maybe she's just nervous to see a very hideous monster like me. (*stirring his hot cocoa)

Rinoa: Humble! (*giggled) and what kind of "hideous monster are you huh?

Leon: (*narrowing his eyes but smiling faintly) an ugly, vicious and ohh sooo scary .......Red Dragon!

Leon: (*noticing them) Huh? (*then he looks at Rinoa) huh, you too?

Rinoa: (*to the people at the Restaurant) He said Red Wagon. (*then gives out a fake smile)

Leon: (*~huh? What's wrong......) (*slapping his forehead as he realized where he was) (*~Dang!) I'm so sorry Rinoa.

Rinoa: .........

Leon: (*~Look what you've done Leon, now find a way to cheer her up) (*smiling) Hey Rinoa, want some Black forest? (*slicing the cake) You know this is my favorite fla.... (*the rare smile on his face fades as he saw Rinoa's teary eyes) Rinoa...

Rinoa: I have to go now.... excuse me (*she slowly stands, leaving Leon behind staring helplessly)

Leon: (*looking at her as she walks out of the restaurant) ......

Man #1: (*sipping his coffee) Poor guy, he's been dumped by a pretty girl.

Lady #1: (*sneers) He's lucky enough that I'm here ha ha ha!

Leon: (*~Will I follow her? Nah, she's upset with me. Dang! You're such an idiot Leon)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Quistis: Sorry, I thought you're Leon. Um thank you Sir for saving my life (*SeeD salutes at Kiros)

Kiros: (*helping her to stand) Don't mention it Ms. Trepe. You healed my wounds and all. I can't thank you enough for it. And oh you better go now young lady; the Stop spell will expire shortly. (*draws his Katal) I'll take it from here.

??????: LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!

Quistis and Kiros: Huh?

?????: EAT THIS! (*throwing the box in his hand)

Quistis: Seifer!

Seifer: (*draws his Hyperion and uses his limit break at the T-Rexaur)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon: She's not at her room, maybe she's at the Loire's residence. (*noticing the tree) hmm..no response from "shooting star".

Leon Hey there young fellow! It's already midnight, go home.

Leon: HEY! (*following the boy) (*~Where's that kid?) Huh? Where am I? (*looking around, he spotted the boy) Hey wait up! (*he's about to run and get the boy but then...) What the?

Boy: (*running around) Tired already? But it has been only five hours since we started playing tag! And you're an angel remember? Use your wings! Hahahaha (*continues to run).

Leon: (*~Hmm.. I think he got a playmate, but where?) (*scans the area)

Boy: Huh? What's wrong with you angel? Where are you? (*disturbed) Angel?

Leon: (*~Is he talking to himself? There's no one around except for me) Poor kid, he lost his grip into this world. (*but then he felt an overwhelming pain) ugh... My chest (*he fell down on his knees) arghhh

Leon: (*~what's going on?) ahhhhh

Leon: (*~leave the poor guy behind! It's me that you...)

Man's voice #3: You two! ztop it! Vho do you think you are? Come here and help the otherz.

Man's voice #4: Yes Sir!

Man's voice #2: But I'll take this first. Ha ha ha what a nice souvenir! (*getting the ring off his victim's fingers)

Leon: That's my ring you scavenger! (*he said weakly)

Man's voice #5: Bring the man ....

Leon: Ughh my chest.

Man's voice #4: How bout the kid ....

Leon: STOP IT!!!! AHHHHHH

Seifer: AHHHHHHHH!!!! (*slashing the T-Rexaur) DIE!!!!

Kiros: (*~huh? Was that a gunblade?) I'm impressed!

Quistis: (*gasps) HUH? MY CAKE? Oh no!!!!! Seifer how could you?

Seifer: (*looking at them) Sorry bout your cake Instructor (*smirking)

Irvine: (*reloaded his shotgun and aims at Seifer's direction) Don't move a muscle, Seifer.

Seifer: HUH? Hey what the heck are you doing Irvine?

Irvine: I said don't move!

Quistis and Kiros: (*aghast with the scenario)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Leon: STOP IT!!! Ahhhhh (*in agony)

Man's voice #4: Die you little twerp!

Leon: (*~what is he planning to do?)

Leon: (*he finally moves his body) NOOOO!!!!!!! (*his voice echoed through the place) (*panting) (*looking around him) huh..where are they? Huh? (*touching his head) It's just a bad dream (*he checks his body for blood) Geez, I must've hit my face too hard when I fell on the ground (*his right temple aches) ouch! But I swear I hear a loud gunshot coming from...THE CAVERN! (*he sprints his way to the cavern)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Selphie: (*smiling) Rinoa! It's good to see you! You know I was going to call you .. (*she sensed that her friend was not feeling ok) Hey what's wrong?

Rinoa: Oh nothing, just sleepy. I decided to check you out here and...

Raine: Oh Rinoa! Please come in, I'll fix you some milk tea! (*holding Rinoa by the hand) Come on sweety.

Rinoa: Thanks Mrs. Raine, I think I need some of that

Selphie: YIPEEE!!!! MILK TEA!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Seifer: (*stared perplexedly at Irvine)

Irvine: You deserve to die in vain

Seifer: (*he slowly turns his head around) AHHH!!

Seifer: (*glaring at Irvine, he walks near him) .........

Irvine: That was nothing (*Smiling) Don't mention it friend he he he.

Seifer: (*punches Irvine right into his face)

Irvine: Yeouch!!!! What the? I've just saved your skin from being a "Seifer- munchies" and what do I have?

Quistis: (*unenthusiastically) A punch right into your sorry face.

Seifer: That is for making me a moronic-sitting duck out there while some Jurassic creature fantasized to eat me as if I'm some kind of a party food.

Irvine: (*rubbing his face) Geez I should've watch you being chewed like a bubble gum rather than you hitting my handsome face.

Quistis: (*laughs) oh stop it you two! Ugh (*touching her stomach)

Irvine: Are you ok Quisty?

Kiros: He's a tough Rex (*observing the carcass)

Seifer: (*looking at Kiros) so you ok?

Kiros: (*nods) I'm impressed with what you did lad.

Seifer: (*grins) I'll never be known as Leon's rival for nothing!

Irvine: (*from behind) Show off!

Seifer: What the? Show off eh?

Quistis: I SAID STO....

????: STOP IT BOTH OF YOU!

Seifer, Irvine and Quistis: LEON!

Quistis: OH NO! WHAT HAPPENED? (*gets her hanky)

Leon: (*wiping his temple with his own handkerchief) Just ignore me, it's nothing. I heard a gunshot coming from here. (*eyeing Irvine) I assume you can elucidate all these things, Mr. Kinneas.

Irvine: (*Gulps)

Quistis: By the way Leon ugh....(*still holding her stomach)

Leon: Quistis?

Quistis: Don't worry about me, I'm ok. As I was saying a while ago, I want you to meet...um

Leon: Meet who?

Quistis: He's gone?

Seifer: Commander, look over here!

Leon: (*walking away from Quistis)

Quistis: Where is he?

The author: Yeah you're right Quisty, where's Kiros? Uhhh Rinoa walks out leaving our poor fellow behind. Tsk tsk. And one more thing, sorry I forgot the name of Seifer's limit break, was it Demon Slice? Anyways, if you have any comments, suggestions, if you want to say hello to the author, anything! Just lemme know. THANKS
