Ch.7
Fallen Angel
FP: I'm back!
Rinoa: What's going to happen in this chapter?
FP: Can't tell you.
Quistis: Will this chapter have a bigger part for me?
FP: No, but chapter 8 will.
Quistis: Seriously?
FP: Yes!
Selphie: Are you ever going to let Squall and Zell out of those rooms?
FP: If I must.
Irvine: You don't have to.
Rinoa: No, I don't think you should.
FP: I don't think I will either.
Selphie: Just start the story please.
FP: Very well, let it begin!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rinoa is asleep her head resting on Quistis's shoulder.
Quistis: Why do these things always seem to happen around my birthday?
Rinoa woke up and blushed when she realized she was using Quistis as a pillow.
Rinoa: What time is it?
Quistis: It's around three in the morning.
Rinoa: You don't have to stay.
Quistis: You would get really bored if I left.
Rinoa: True, but you have another reason to stay don't you.
Quistis: I don't know what you're talking about.
Rinoa: You care about him as much as I do.
Quistis: We're really close friends, that's all.
Rinoa: But what do you wish their was between you?
Quistis: I used to like him, but it was just a crush.
Rinoa: Then why do you get that depressed look on your face when you see us together.
Quistis: I do not!
Rinoa: Yes you do, it's the same look you got when me and Squall were together.
Quistis: Is it really that obvious?
Rinoa: It's even more obvious that you have feelings for more than just Kai.
Quistis: Did Squall tell you?
In Selphie and Irvine's room Selphie is asleep in bed with Irvine lying beside her staring at the ceiling deep in thought.
Irvine: What am I going to do? I'm not ready for something like this, but I can't really change the fact that this is my fault. I can't make her go through this alone. It looks like my bachelor days are numbered…at least I get to be the first one to have a bachelor party.
Kai is also lying awake in deep thought.
Kai: Maybe I'm better of this way, no more pain, no more sorrow, no more regret, but I also give up joy, love, and pride. I suppose it is an equal trade, maybe neutrality is a more worthwhile achievement than happiness…
A shadowy figure is roaming the halls of the Garden from what can be seen of her through the shadows she has nearly the same hair and body build as Rinoa, but her face cannot be seen she is wearing a dark red trench coat and high heel boots.
: It is all coming together so perfectly, soon I will have my revenge and I will reclaim what is rightfully mine!
Squall is sitting in his office brooding over his humiliating defeat.
Squall: How could I have lost, the lion heart was the ultimate weapon, or could there be something more powerful…
Coal, Cage, Sheena, and Karrisa are sitting in Kai's office.
Coal: What the hell is going on?
Sheena: I don't understand how this could have happening without someone noticing?
Cage: At least we know he's in good hands until we can figure out who's doing this.
Karrisa: What are we going to do with her while Kai is in the infirmary?
Coal: I guess Rinoa can take care of him.
Sheena: I thought that Isis attacked anyone Kai didn't specifically tell him to trust.
Cage: The way those two act I wouldn't be surprised if Isis didn't think that they were the same person.
Karrisa: No, she relies more on vision than scent.
Sheena: Is this really the appropriate time for corny sex jokes?
Coal: Kai would want us to make jokes, that idiot would crack a bald joke about the grim reaper while he's lying on his death bed.
Cage: Do you think anything in his journal could shed some light on this?
Karrisa: Good luck finding it, Rinoa's as much of a slob as Kai is and he can hide that thing insanely well.
Coal: You already looked for it didn't you.
Karrisa: Those two are the most unorganized people I have ever seen, they both keep their underwear in the same drawer for hyne's sake!
Coal: You went through their underwear?
Karrisa: I would rather not remember that, among other things.
Cage: What do you mean "other things"?
Karrisa: Let's just say that I went through everything.
Cage: Never mind I really don't want to know what you found.
Karrisa: I can firmly say that his journal is nowhere in that room.

FP: Tired can't type witty banter…over and out
