Quistis and Xu were evermore wondering where their dates were. Quistis was going to mention to Xu that they should go check their rooms but she was saved the hassle by one of her male admirers coming over to her. At first Quistis thought he was going to tell her how beautiful she looked but when he told her that Yazoo was in trouble Quistis was sure that she had heard it wrong. Once the words sunk in she felt the blood drain from her face.
"Where?" she asked. The three of them went running out of the Quad and pushed through the crowds until they reached Yazoo, Loz, Kadaj and the security teams.
"Well look who it is" said Kadaj as Quistis pushed her way to the front.
"Get out of here!" said Yazoo waving his arm at Quistis.
"Now, now Yazoo, be polite" said Kadaj pointing the shotgun at Quistis. Whatever happened next was a blur to all except for Kadaj, Loz and Yazoo. Loz punched the rifle into the air whilst Yazoo twirled and punched Kadaj, knocking him back. A gunshot rang out; Yazoo felt the super-heated air of the bullet graze his cheek. Blood splattered from Kadaj's back and he crashed into Yazoo. Yazoo and Loz tried catching Kadaj but he had fallen just out of reach. Squall and the others ran forwards to see if they could help Kadaj but it was already too late. They turned around to see Irvine stood there with his shotgun. Yazoo looked down at Kadaj but it was already over.
Quistis came running over with Xu.
"Are you okay?" they both asked simultaneously.
"Yeah" said Loz and Yazoo simultaneously. Quistis hugged Yazoo. When she stepped back she punched him in the chest
"I thought you were going to stand me up" she said. Yazoo pushed a stray hair back behind her ear
"You look beautiful" he said and Quistis blushed crimson beneath her fine make-up. Quistis put her arm around Yazoo
"Let's get back to the dance" she said. Yazoo took one look back at Kadaj' body
"Let's" he said and walked on.
