Ch.4 : A long Drive...
A warm sensation overcomes Zell's waist. Zell looks down to see two petit arms enveloping him in a loving embrace from behind.
Zell couldn't help but smile, and wrap his arms around those already occupying his midsection. "Hey Quisty, you ready for this mission or what?" Zell asked the lovely blonde behind him.
"With you by my side, I'm ready for anything." Quistis coo'd in Zell's ear.
Zell could feel his stomach twist and turn, from all the butterflies. Quickly the small blonde could feel his face turn a beat red, but he didn't mind, he was happy.
After a few moments the blonde couple strolled into the conference room. Everyone was already present, and ready to get going.
"Ok, now that we are all here and have all been briefed, we should get going. We will ride out together and split up once we arrive at the destination." Squall said, pacing back and forth.
"Wow Squall, you do resemble Cid in a lot of ways." Selphie giggled along with everyone else.
Squall just rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Whatever…Alright team, let's get going."
With that everyone filed out of the room, and headed for the parking lot. One by one they piled into the vehicle, it was a little crowed, but nobody minded it just gave them an excuse to be extremely close to their significant other.
Squall and Rinoa of course were in the front, with Squall driving and Rinoa navigating. Selphie and Irvine were in the next row, doing what they do best, being clowns and all lovey dovey. Zell and Quistis got in the far back, not really doing to much just sitting quietly snickering every now and then at Squall yelling at Selphie and Irvine, telling them to knock it off.
"When in hyne are we going to get there?" Squall impatiently huffed as Ivine's and Selphie's horseplay was aggrevating.
Zell watched as Irvine pointed at Selphie's small yellow dress.
"Sefie you got something on your dress." Irvine's southern drawl echoed throughout the car.
Selphie worriedly looks down, "What is it!" She shrieked, hoping that it wasn't an insect, but more importantly a stain, she loved that dress, it was her favorite one!
Irvine quickly lifted his finger and flipped her nose and then burst out laughing at Selphie's gullibility, not to mention how she went cross eyed for a moment watching Irvine's finger.
"You jerk!" Selphie cried and turned to face the passing scenery through the window and started to pout.
"But Sefie, I was just playin'. Please don't be mad at me." Irvine pleaded with his distressed girlfriend.
"Hmph." Was all Selphie replied and continued staring out the window, with her delicate arms folded across her chest.
Irvine put on his biggest and saddest puppy dog face and pleaded with Selphie one more time, "Pu…pu…please don't do this to me Sefie…I…I…I might develop a…stu…stu…stutter…"
Selphie couldn't help but smile at Irvine's childish talk. Irvine saw Selphie smirk a little and he knew that was his chance, so he wrapped the tiny brunette in his arms and smothered her with kisses.
"Oh Irvy…" Selphie moaned, and returned the embrace.
But as soon as it happened it stopped, Selphie ripped out of Irvine's arms and flew as close to her window as possible. Her face was a ghostly shade of white, and her eyes were as big as softballs.
"Irvine, you have something on your hat!" Selphie cried in a near panic.
"Haha, very funny Sefie, but there is no way you can get me; I am the one who practically invented that game." Irvine laughed and with a wave of his hand disregarded her statement.
Selphie became even more panicked. "Irvine, I'm not kidding, there is some THING on your hat!" Selphie screamed this time drawing the attention of everyone else in the car. Rinoa quickly turned around and her jaw dropped, as her eyes were bugging out of her head.
Irvine looks around and sees that everyone is just as freaked out if not more than Selphie is. That's when it hits him, Selphie wasn't joking.
Suddenly he feels a strange sensation crawling on the side of his face. Irvine's stomached dropped; he could feel it getting closer to his mouth. His heartbeat began to race, sweat erupted out of every pore, and he almost started hyperventilating.
"AAAAAHHHHHH" Irvine let out a hilarious girl scream, louder than Selphie, Rinoa, and Quistis could do together. He started hopping around in his seat slapping himself in the face. He fumbled around for a few moments looking for the handle to unroll his window, finally he found it and hurled his hat out the window.
Extremely high pitched screams continued to emerge from the young man until everyone started bursting out laughing. Selphie was hunched over, almost on the floor with tears streaming down her face.
"What! What in Hyne is so funny! I almost got eaten back there!" Irvine roared, and then looked back at the blonde couple rolling with laughter.
"What are you two laughing at?" Irvine harshly questioned and then saw in Zell's hand a small Chocobo feather. Immediately Irvine's face became red and anger swelled over his features.
"What the hell is wrong with you people? Are ya trying to give me a damn heart attack?" Irvine was on a rampage and then turned back around and stared out the window sulking.
"Oh Irvy, it was just a joke." Selphie tried to ease her boyfriend.
"…." Irvine didn't reply.
"Oh come on man I'm sorry." Zell apologized with a slight smirk on his face, because he was still trying to stop laughing.
"You owe me a hat!" Irvine pouted.
Zell ruffled up his hair and messed up his usually perfect ponytail. "Nah I think you look fine without it." Zell teased.
Selphie couldn't help but burst out into another giggling fit at her boyfriend's hysterical hairstyle that was going everywhere.
That was the last straw Irvine immediately turned around and started punching Zell in the arms and legs.
"Hey you two, knock it off, were here!" Squall commanded.
Zell and Irvine immediately stop, and silence once again reigned in the vehicle. Everyone files out of the car and splits into there teams.
"Alright guys, this is it, no mistakes. Be on your guard, and by careful. Irvine's team will take the outer left perimeter of the tomb and my team will take the right, we should meet somewhere in the middle and then we will finish as a group cleaning out the middle halls. Good luck." Squall quickly briefed his teammates and then proceeded walking into the tomb.
Everyone followed, upon reaching the entrance the two teams split. Suddenly Zell got a strange feeling in the pit of his stomach, causing him to stop dead in his tracks.
'Something…is wrong…' Zell's thoughts warned.
Quistis noticed a sudden breeze towards her back and turned around to see Zell standing still. "Zell is something wrong?" Quistis worriedly questioned.
"…No…"
