Ch.6
Good news, bad news, worse news.
FP: This chapter is going to be a bitch to write.
Irvine: Why's that?
FP: Because you and Selphie are the only ones not running late and I want to do a lot of stuff in this one!
Selphie: can you make us important in this one?
FP: Sure, I got nothing better to do.
Rinoa: Sorry, I over slept.
Squall: I made it to.
Quistis: Me to.
FP: Where is Zell?
Zell: I got attacked by a malboro on the way here.
FP: No excuses to the room of punishment with you!
Zell: Again?
FP: Yes again. Mwahahahahaha.
Quistis: That's really creepy.
Squall: Can I kill you now?
FP: Do you really think I'm going to let you kill me?
Squall: No, but I can hope.
FP: No you can't, to the room of punishment with you!
Quistis: I thought Zell was in there?
FP: He is, so I'll make another one
A door appears out of no where.
FP: I call this one the room of torment!
Squall: Oh shit.
He flies into the new door slamming his head off it.
FP: Oops forgot to open it.
The door creaks open and Squall flies inside.
FP: Irvine I'll give you and Selphie bigger parts in this one if you promise not to complain when this chapters over.
Irvine: Okay.
FP: Good good, let the story continue. Mwahahahahaha
Quistis: Again with the laugh, what is wrong with you?
FP: Good Question… let it continue!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kai wraps his crimson wings around himself and Rinoa like shields against the oncoming blade.
Kai: Sacred Flare!
His crimson wing flash gold and release a stream of golden fire knocking Squall to the ground, unconscious and badly burnt.
Zell: Is he still breathing?
Kai: Get him to a doctor; I spared his life but just barely.
Rinoa: That was amazing!
Kai: I think I better get to a doctor too.
Rinoa: Why?
Kai: This form takes a lot of energy to sustain and I'm not sure how to change back.
Rinoa: You're joking, right?
Kai collapses into Rinoa's arms his body still merged with Phoenix.
Rinoa: I guess you're not joking.
Cage: Is he okay?
Rinoa: Dose he look okay?
Coal: We'll carry him back, you to get Squall.
Zell: We got him.
Cage: I'm not sure where the infirmary is.
Rinoa: Just follow me!
They hurry back to the garden carrying Squall and Kai were Quistis meets them at the gate.
Quistis: What the hell happened to these two?
Rinoa: Each other.
Quistis: Oh Hyne help us, it's Seifer and Squall all over again.
They hurry off to the infirmary.
Dr. Kadowaki: What were these two doing!
Quistis: Take a wild guess!
Dr.K: Again?
Zell: Yep, Squall's got a pretty itchy trigger finger.
Dr.K: Stay in the waiting room while I look these two over.
Rinoa: Alright.
Coal: We have to go pick up a couple of things in Esthar.
Quistis: Alright, take Zell and Irvine with you.
Cage: Why?
Quistis: So they can pick up some things for me.
Irvine: Alright.
Every one leaves except Rinoa and Quistis.
Quistis: I heard you and Squall are having problems.
Rinoa: I broke things off with him a couple days ago.
Quistis: Is that why he's been such a pain for the last few days?
Rinoa: Probably.
Quistis: It feels good to know that I'm not the only single women around here.
Rinoa: Actually I've been with Kai for a little while now.
Quistis: So you do have a taste for men in power don't you.
Rinoa: It's nothing like that; he's just so wonderful.
Quistis: I wish I could find someone like that.
Rinoa: There's someone out there for you.
At this point Selphie comes bursting in.
Selphie: What happened is Squall alright?
Rinoa: We're not sure if either of them are okay.
Selphie: Who cares about that jerk Kai, he's the cause of all these problems.
Quistis: Shut up Selphie, Kai is one of the best people I know.
Selphie: He caused this didn't he?
Rinoa: No he didn't, Squall started this fight and Kai is not a jerk he's my boyfriend!
Selphie: You mean you two are…?
Rinoa: Yes we're a couple and that pissed Squall off enough to try an kill him!
Dr.K: Sorry to interrupt but I thought you should now that their both stable and neither of their wounds are very serious, oh Selphie you're here.
Selphie: Yeah.
Dr.K: We need to talk in private about your last blood screening.
Selphie: Why?
Dr.K: Please just follow me. You two can go in and see Squall, but Kai is still unconscious.
Rinoa: Thank you doctor.
Selphie follows Dr.K into a side room while Quistis and Rinoa go in to talk to Squall.
Squall: Is he dead?
Rinoa: No he just used up a lot of his energy.
Squall: Damn, I was hoping to speak at the funeral.
Rinoa: You are such a jerk!
Squall: He deservers to be dead.
Quistis: So turn about isn't fair play when someone does it to you?
Squall: What do you mean?
Quistis: If I remember correctly when you two had my class you stole every girl he ever even sat eyes on, but he still had your back whenever you needed it.
Squall: I don't remember it that way.
Quistis: Well that's how it happened.
Rinoa: I don't believe how wrong I was about you.
Quistis: Between you stealing his girls and Seifer making him take the fall for all of his trouble making the only real friends he had were me and Zell.
Squall: Don't you ever compare me to Seifer.
Rinoa: If the shoe fits…
Squall: I am sick of you bitches complaining about the way I do things!
Before Squall can say another word Quistis slaps him with enough force to send him flying back onto the bed.
Quistis: I don't know how you could have changed so much since you became headmaster!
From behind them they hear muffled laughter.
Kai: That was hilarious!
Rinoa: You're awake!
She throws her arms around him.
Kai: AHH, watch the arm!
Rinoa: Oh, I'm sorry.
Kai: Its okay it only hurt a little.
Squall: Woos.
Kai: Quistis there should be a good burn on his left shoulder; could you hit it for me?
Quistis: Sure.
She punches his shoulder.
Squall: Aw, you bitch!
Rinoa: My turn!
Squall: You touch me and I'll cut that arm clean off!
Kai: With what? I crushed your precious loin heart.
Squall: I have more than one gunblade.
Quistis: I don't think either of you will be fighting for a while.
Dr.K: No they won't and Kai is going to be staying here overnight.
Dr.K had just walked in followed by an oddly solemn Selphie.
Kai: Can't I just rest up in my own room?
Dr.K: Do think I have forgotten the trouble you used to cause me? You are not leaving my sight until you're healed!
Rinoa: What did you do?
Kai: Nothing much…
Dr.K: You jumped out a third story window with five broken ribs!
Kai: Broke both my legs and three more ribs.
Quistis: I remember that, we called you flyboy for a month after that.
Rinoa: I never pegged you as the reckless type.
Quistis: It was more stupid than reckless.
Kai: People change.
Rinoa: Yeah they do…
She says this glaring at Squall.
Squall: Well I'm leaving, have fun.
Quistis: Selphie what's wrong.
Selphie looks from Quistis to Kai with a worried look on her face.
Rinoa: You can trust him; beside I have him wrapped around my little finger.
Kai: That's what you think…, hey my wings are gone!
Quistis: Are you seriously just noticing that?
Kai: Uh… I thought we were talking about Selphie.
Selphie: You all have to promise not to tell anyone.
Rinoa and Quistis: Alright.
Everyone glares at Kai.
Kai: …What?
Rinoa: He promises.
Kai: Yeah yeah I solemnly vow.
Quistis: What's the matter Selph.
Selphie: Dr.Kadowaki told me that I'm pregnant.
Rinoa: Does Irvine know?
Selphie: No.
Rinoa: You have to tell him.
Selphie: I know I have to tell him, I'm just not sure how.
Kai: It's not an easy thing for us guys to except.
Quistis: You would now wouldn't you.
Rinoa: What does she mean?
Kai: That's a piece of my past I would rather keep to myself.
Quistis: Serina would probably want you to share.
Rinoa: Who's Serina?
Kai: We were supposed to get married on Lunar but there was an accident, she was going to be a mother in a few weeks.
Quistis: You know exactly how Irvine is going to react.
Kai: No I don't, but I know what I did.
Selphie: How did she tell you?
Kai: She didn't, I got the news from a couple of other students who had heard. Believe me, that is the worst possible way to find out.
Selphie: What happened to her?
Kai: She was murdered.
Selphie: What kind of sick bastard would do that!
Kai: I ask myself that all the time.
Selphie: Do you know who killed her?
Kai: Yes, and he still walks free to this day.
Selphie: Haven't you even tried to get revenge?
Kai: I can't do that.
Selphie: Why not?
Rinoa: Selphie stop it!
Quistis: I thought she was killed in a water tank explosion on the lunar garden.
Kai: Do you want to know how it really happened?
Rinoa: Something isn't right he isn't even showing remorse.
Kai sat there his face completely devoid of emotion, his eyes dark as if his very soul had been ripped out.
Quistis: How do you now want happened?
Kai: I know because I caused it, I killed them all.
Selphie: How can you be so calm about something like that!
Kai: I don't know I can't feel anything right now.
Rinoa: I'm going to go get Dr.Kadowaki.
Quistis: This can't be what I think it is…can it?
Dr.K: What's wrong?
Selphie: He's completely lost his mind!
Kai: I am completely rational and sane, I just cannot feel emotion.
Dr.K asks everyone to leave while she examines him. She soon exits.
Dr.K: This isn't physical; it could only be caused by magic.
Rinoa: Are you sure?
Dr.K: Very, he has lost all feelings and emotions it's like nothing I've ever seen.
Quistis: But I have…
She quickly glances at Rinoa in deep thought.
Quistis: It must be a powerful magic.
Dr.K: It couldn't have been a novice to magic, more like an expert.
Quistis: Or a sorceress.
Dr.K left for her room at this point it was nearly midnight. Quistis and Rinoa sat outside of Kai's room.
Rinoa: You know anyone in that room could have done this.
Quistis: Yes you, me, and Selphie are all very skilled mages.
Rinoa: You can stop glances at me out of the corner of your eye, I suspect myself to.
Quistis: I know you can't control your powers sometimes, but something like that can't be an accident.
Rinoa: It could have been, especially with the stress I've been under.
Quistis: Maybe…
In Selphie's room she sat on her bed and looked around, it was clear that she shared the room with Irvine, his belonging were strewn everywhere.
Selphie: He is such a slob…
Irvine enters clearly exhausted from the day of shopping; he had somehow been convinced to help carry nearly everything back to the garden.
Irvine: Good afternoon little lady.
Selphie: Do you really love me Irvine?
Irvine: That's a weird thing to hear when you first get home.
Selphie: That's not an answer!
Irvine: You know I love you Selphie. What's wrong?
Selphie: Have you ever thought about getting married?
Irvine: Not practically, but that's not what's bothering you is it?
Selphie: I'm pregnant.
Irvine :…( really dumb look on his face)
Selphie: I knew you wouldn't be happy!
Irvine: No, I'm happy, hell I'm ecstatic, but it's just a shock that's all.
Selphie: When you think about it, it's not that shocking.
Irvine: That's true… I mean this is wonderful I'm going to be a dad!
Selphie: Are you really okay with this?
Irvine: Of course I am, this is wonderful, I was going to wait a while.
Selphie: Wait a while for what?
Irvine pulls a ring out of his jacket.
Irvine: Will you marry me.
Selphie: So you were waiting for me to be in a position that I couldn't say no.
Irvine: Yeah basically.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FP: I think I'll end it there.
Selphie: I don't want to be pregnant!
FP: You should of thought of that a while back shouldn't you have.
Irvine: I promised I wouldn't complain…
Selphie: I don't want to get married!
FP: I don't want to listen to your whiny little voice anymore!
Selphie: You're mean!
FP: Yes I am.
Quistis: What's got you in such a foul mood?
FP: What business is it off yours?
Rinoa: Are you gonna let Squall and Zell out.
FP: NO.
Rinoa: Okay.
FP: Fire-Pheanix signing off.
