Last Chapter:
Seifer: Uh charging you! AHHHHHH TAKE THIS! (*tries to slash Leon)
Leon: You want more violet spots eh? (*dodges Seifer's Hyperion then punch Seifer right into his jaw)
??????: I SAID STOPPPPPPP!
Leon and Seifer: (*stops from brawling they look into the voice's direction)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Continuation:
Leon: (*in great pain) Ugh!
Girls: (*gasp as they witness Leon's expression) Leon!!!
Seifer: (*shocked) I'm gonna kill you Kramer if you die!
Leon: (*glaring at Seifer) Heck! I'm gonna ...Arghh...hunt you in your dreams Almasy if I die! Ahhh...
Raine: (*ripping Leon's sleeves) Stop talking now young man! You're gonna bleed to death if you move a lot.
Laguna: (*crossing his arms) Hey you two stop that nonsense babbling! But I think you two should thank your comrade here (*patting Irvine's shoulder) for his heroic act!
Irvine: (*his face is as red as an apple) .......
Girls: (*giggled)
Seifer: (*raising his eyebrow) Thank him? We almost curse ourselves for having a nose.
Selphie: (*consoling Irvine) I told you not to eat sweet potatoes (*chuckles)
Laguna: At least he halts the grim reaper from slashing your throats! And I don't like the idea of you two brawling like a bunch of 8-year- old kids.
Quistis: Welp I guess we cannot blame them. That's the way they communicate with each other.
Laguna: That's what they call "communication" huh?
Zell: Yeah! We tough guys do that! Right... Quistis?
Seifer: (*butting in) Sorry, but I think there's no chicken-wuss recorded on the Mr.-tough-guy list. Ha ha ha ha! (*laughs) Yeouchhhhhh!!!
Zell: (*pressing Seifer's bruises) ....... (*murmuring)
Irvine: (*defending himself) You're gonna be sleeping next to the kid, Seifer; if not for me butting in. I think I deserve to hear those two words!
Seifer: (*he said innocently) Die Irvine?
Irvine: Dope!
Laguna: Stop acting like kids!
Seifer and Irvine: (*putting their tongues out at each other) Bleh!
Zell: (*pressing Seifer's wounds and bruises again)
Seifer: Ugh! That hurts! I'm gonna kill you next chicken-wuss!
Zell: Sorry pal! (*putting some ointment at Seifer's bruises) But hey you cannot complain man. I'm the only one that you've got. (*looking at the girls who were curing Leon's wounds)
Roger: What a lucky guy. (*sighs)
Ellone: (*standing near her mom) Mom I think we have to go to the Winhill Clinic.
Quistis: (*holding a glass of cold water) Here drink some water.
Rinoa: (*sitting next to Leon) Um you can hug me if you like as for you not to feel the pain.
Seifer: Hey Leon!
Leon: (*looking fiercely at Seifer) What now?!
Seifer: you've got to spare me some of your angels around you he he he. (*gives one of his famous smirks)
Fujin: (*looking at Seifer) WANT HELP?
Seifer: (*staring at the albino) What the...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caraway: (*lying on the bed) Ohhh my head hurts.
Nurse: Good evening Sir! At last you're up.
Caraway: What happened? Where am I?
Nurse: You were rushed here by your very worried and snappy subordinates (*smiling) They told us that you suddenly stop from talking and you've been out cold for 3 hours so they panicked and brought you here.
Caraway: (*slapping his foreheads) (*~they waited for that long to notice that I've faint coz of their dumbness) So.... Where are those "worried and snappy" subordinates that you're talking about?
Nurse: I think they're now eating at the cafeteria downstairs. (*smiling) I heard one of them yelling he found a treasure and he will treat his fellow soldiers.
Caraway: (*slaps his forehead again) Can I go now? (*~I guess I have to go to the TV station next and... Alone)
Nurse: Um not until you pay the hospital bills ...
A Ward-look-a-like Chef: (*intercedes) and paying for what they've taken.
Soldiers: (*smiles at there leader) Hi General!

Raine: Will that be ok to you Ellone?
Ellone: Of course mom! (*lively)
Girls: (*giggled) Pajama Party!!!
Fujin: HAPPY! (*smiles)
Seifer: (*secretly looking at Fujin) (*~Oh no an Albino. Reminds me of that girl...Dang! I guess this is what they call Karma)
Selphie: Whoo hoo! Let's Pah-tay!
Laguna: On the other hand, the boys can take the guest room. Um except for Leon, he will be taking Squall's room. He needs to take some rest as the doctor prescribed him.
Seifer: He he he Gunblade party! (*smirks)
Boys : (*Gulps)
Leon: Oh I almost forgot.
Laguna: What is it Leon? Is there something wrong?
Leon: My parents called me a while ago informing me that they will be arriving here um 1600 or 1700 hours.. er I mean tomorrow afternoon around 4 or 5. And oh the kids at the orphanage will be coming along as well. I think they would like to celebrate Halloween here. (*sighs) With my present condition, I think I cannot help them with the kids.
Laguna: Ohhh don't worry lad we're here to help you out!
Raine: Hmm how about picnic Laggy-dear?
Selphie: Whoo hoo! I loveeeeee picnic!
Laguna: What a brilliant idea Raine-dear! And since it is Halloween, you're all gonna wear some costumes he he he.

Zell: (*raising his hands) Er ..count me in.
Roger: Um..I'll be leaving Winhill tom so I guess I cannot come. (*~whew)
Laguna: Ohh come on it's a lame excuse.
Roger: Really sir! I'm not kidding or making some excuses.
Seifer: Ah yes Mr. Loire, he will be leaving tomorrow morning...it's time for him to mop the whole cafeteria he he he.
Roger: (*murmurs) ....
Laguna: Ok then I guess.. you're out of this.
Roger: Thanks for everything Mr. and Mrs. Loire
Raine: That's ok. Hope we can see each other again (*smiles) And to the others... (*looking back at the teens) I think this is the right time to think about your costume for the said party.
Zell: (*snapping his fingers) Ohh I'm sooo excited! He he he! (*imagining himself wearing "that" costume)
Seifer: Hmmm costumes eh? Hmm (*thinks) Let's see who got the best costume (*laughs)
Quistis: What can I wear for that occasion...hmmm (*thinks) AHA! (*Smiles)

Fujin: OK!
Rinoa: Halloween Costume? Hmmm (*snaps her fingers) Righty!

Raine: Um Leon, if you need anything, don't hesitate to tell us ok? You know where you can find us...right Laggy-dear?
Laguna: Yeah Raine-dear.
Leon: I will...thanks. (*was about to go upstairs)
Rinoa: (*shyly talks to Leon) Um Leon, do you want me...um t-to accompany you? I mean ...you're a bit shaky with that wound..
Leon: Uh don't worry about me; I'm fine as a pine tree. (*gives out a faint smile)
Rinoa: (*~ hmm?) .....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kiros: I can't believe there's a monster guarding the cave. (*looking at Leon's pet) I have to find another cave to dwell into. (*staring at the GF) Isn't that...griever?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ellone: uh Girls, mind if I ask what costume are you going to wear tom?
Rinoa: (*~Leon...)
Quistis: Oopss it's a secret!
Rinoa: ..... (*~He speaks like..him)
Ellone: Ohh bummer... but I just wanna know so that we're not going to have the same outfit for the picnic-party.
Rinoa: (*~I better check him out, maybe he needs something) Righty!
Ellone: See Rinoa agrees
Selphie: Yeah she's right!
Rinoa: Huh? Um girls excuse me for a while I'm going to get some water downstairs..I'm thirsty.
Ellone: Ok.
Selphie: Want me to come along?
Rinoa: Don't worry about me ...I'm fine as a....(*~oh no! I'm sounding like him too)
Selphie: Huh? Are you ok?
Rinoa: Yeah! (*leaves the room) (*~Whew!) (*She went to see Leon's Room) Huh? Open? (*she scanned the room) (*~He's not here ..maybe he's at the bathroom or the balcony.)

Leon: Um yes...can I help you?
Rinoa: (*Shy) Oh I um...ah want to see Squall's pictures ...yeah that's it!
Leon: Oh I see, please have a sit. (*sitting on his bed)
Rinoa: Thanks (*sits next to him)
Leon: (*~heck I mean at the chair not beside me..(*gulps) ) If you want that picture you can ask Mr. and Mrs. Loire to give you some copy of that.
Rinoa: No... I cannot have this. (*looking at the picture of herself and Squall) It will only cut open the old wounds.
Leon: Oh if that so, why bother looking at the past?
Rinoa: hmm... to hurt myself?
Leon: Why? I mean..you've suffered enough from that incident. (*with a concerned look) and hey remember last time, I ...er Squall .no.I pretend to be him so that you can forgive yourself and for him to forgive you.
Rinoa: But you're not him. You can easily forgive me coz you're not .....that person that I'm supposed to say "I'm sorry".
Leon: (*looking down) I know...but ...hey as if Squall will come out from that grave and forgive you...welp that's a different story, a scary one indeed...like my mom's creepy tales.
Rinoa: (*covers her face) (*starts to sob)
Leon: Ohhhh Rinoa, please don't cry. (*handing her some tissue) What's wrong? Do you want me to pretend to be him again?
Rinoa: I think I need a "real" friend right now.
Leon: Ok ..no ghost this time. Ok I'm sorry for what I've said a while ago about him.
Rinoa: (*watery eyes) Mom..
Leon: Huh?
Rinoa: (*she dash outside Leon's room, still sobbing)
Leon: (*dumbfounded) .......
The author: Hmm what happened to Rinoa's mom? What will Leon do to know the truth about it? And what kind of costume will Laguna let Leon wear at the party? And of course the ultimate question..when will I write the next chapter? (*he he he) Thanks for waiting for this chapter! (Hmm déjà vu?)
