Gneo: Oh, by the way, I call the lunch ladies lunch lady1 and lunch lady2 because that is what they are called when you talk to them in the game! I'm okay. Please read and review. (Yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah, who cares, just READ! Oh, and review too. Wait-ahhhhhh!")

Chapter Two:

WAKE UP POOPY HEAD!

"Do you yield?"

"Squall, rise and shine!"

"I said, do you yield?"

"Come on, get you're lazy butt out of bed."

"Seifer! Answer my question!"

"WAKE UP POOPY HEAD!" Rinoa yelled as she tore the blankets off of the bed, and began smacking Squall in the face. Squall woke up with a start.

"Ow! Okay, okay, I'm up! I'm up!" Squall yelled as he tried to get up, but accidentally fell out of bed in front of Rinoa, who was half dressed.

"C'mon, stop fooling around, you are going to be late! Now get dressed, we gotta get going." Rinoa ordered.

"To where? For god sakes, it's six o' clock. I'm tired. And after last night, I'm sure you are too. Or at least you should be." Squall snapped, putting on a pair of black jeans.

"Selphie asked for everyone to meet her in the Quad." answered Rinoa, throwing a black shirt at Squall. Squall caught it and put it on. He found his two belts, and buckled the on.

"Oh, no. Not another stupid 'Garden Party' is it? Those are lame. Well, the drinks are nice…so was that one waitress…" said Squall.

"Knock it off." said Rinoa, slipping on some shorts. "And be nice. Selphie's you're friend. You know how sensitive she is. We have ten minutes, so hurry up and come on." Rinoa left the dorm room.

"Whatever." Squall replied.

Thirty minutes later

"Oh Squall, I'm so glad you could make it! Even though you are twenty minutes late… oh well, take a seat!" Selphie gestured to the only seat empty, which was next to an irritably mad Rinoa. Squall did not really want to sit by her, but he had to, so he did. Big mistake. As soon as he sat down, Rinoa immediately stomped hard on Squall's foot.

"Where have you been?" whispered Rinoa angrily.

"So? What do you guys think? Should we have the Garden Party in the training center? It just got a new addition. But so did the Quad… so…" asked Selphie.

"Um, I got lost." Squall replied. This caused Rinoa to give Squall's foot another stomp.

"Ow!" yelped Squall.

"…what? A Grat hit you in the head in the training center too Squall?" Selphie asked. "I guess people's heads just aren't safe in there. Maybe we should have it in the Quad after all. So, I was thinking…"

"Bull crap. Now, where were you?" whispered Rinoa.

"Oh, I think we should have, like a monster competition, like see how many monsters you can defeat in a certain time limit or something. If we have it in the training center that is." Said Squall, glad to avoid Rinoa's question. This total ignorance of Rinoa made her mad, and she crossed her arms with a nasty look on her face. No one seemed to notice though.

"Leave it to Squall to think up something having to do with fighting. Do you have any less-dangerous ideas?" said Zell, scratching his head lazily, which was all poofy from bed-hair.

"Oooooooh…do I detect a hint of chicken-wuss?" said Irvine sarcastically, he and Selphie seemed like the only ones who didn't seem tired.

"You know, if I didn't just wake up a half an hour ago, I would feel like kick'en you're ass. But I'm just too damn tired." replied Zell.

"Tired? Okay, well go with that." Said Irvine, the sarcasm dripping from his voice.

"Stop it you two." Said Quistis. "You are SeeDs. Act like them.

"C'mon people, stop bickering. Now, MORE IDEAS PLEASE!" yelled Selphie.

"How 'bout you not yell like that? That would help. Bet the whole garden is up now." Said Irvine.

"Well, where should we have it? Hands up for training center." Selphie said. Squall, Selphie, Irvine and Quistis put their hands up.

"Okay, that's four for training center which would leave two for the Quad. Kinda sad. The Quad just got a new addition too… ah, but so did the training center, so it evens out. Yay! First decision made! And I like Squally's idea of the contest too!" exclaimed Selphie.

"Please do not call me that." Squall said.

"Squally, Squally, Squally, Squally, Squally, Squally, Squally!" teased Selphie.

"Cut it out." Squall actually let out a laugh.

"Ooooooooooh, I haven't heard you laugh in a long time… that is, saying last night was a long time ago." Rinoa said. Squall laughed again.

They spent a couple hours laughing and reminiscing about the past, bouts with Ultima Weapon, Omega Weapon, Ultimica, and other past experiences.

"…no Selphie, you did look dumb when you were dressed up as a Galibadian soldier at their base. But not as dumb as Squall would have looked." Zell said.

"No, he would look sexy!" said Rinoa.

"Whatever. I don't need to talk about the past or hear what could have happened. I'm gone." Said Squall, and started to leave.

"No! Squally, don't go!" Said Selphie, but was too late. Squall had already left.

Squall walked around the garden for a while. People were finally up, and some were running around exercising. Squall's stomach rumbled and he decided to go to the cafeteria for breakfast. Today was Sunday, which meant there were pancakes. Squall loved the Garden's pancakes. Dusted with powdered sugar, smothered with butter and maple syrup… Squall started to run for the cafeteria. He almost plowed over a junior student, and two female senior SeeDs.

"HEY! WATCH IT!" yelled a rather busty blonde senior.

"Not sorry. You should watch out for crazy students on pancake Sunday." Said Squall back, not slowing down. But when he got to the cafeteria, he saw something that made him stop dead in his tracks. Seifer, Rajin, and Fujin standing in a triangle talking. Squall rubbed his eyes like it was actually going to help. When he opened them again, they were still there. Squall drew his gunblade, which made people start to stare at him.

"Hey, was that guy speeding? Let's get him." Seifer said. Seifer, Rajin, and Fujin ran out of the cafeteria.

"Wait. Hasn't this already happened? Seifer! Get back here!" yelled Squall. He turned around and almost ran over Xu, nearly making her drop her plate of pancakes.

"Squall, who are you talking to? Seifer is dead. And why is you're gunblade out? You know weapons are not permitted in the cafeteria." Xu informed.

"But I just saw him! He-"

"Settle down. Are you sick?" Xu felt Squall's forehead, but Squall pushed her hand away.

"I'm telling you, I saw Seifer!" said Squall. "And I'm not going crazy either." Squall tried to go around Xu, but she stood firmly in his path.

"Listen. I'm going to sit down and eat. You are going to get some pancakes, and sit down at my table and we are going to sort this out. Now go." Xu said.

"Okay." Said Squall, and headed for the exit.

"Oh no, nice try. Go that way." Xu pointed at the students formed in a line waiting for breakfast. Reluctantly, Squall went, and Xu headed for the nearest table.

"Sorry. We're out of pancakes. But there are plenty of hotdogs, would you like some?" asked the lunch lady1. With out saying a word, Squall turned on his heel, and walked to the exit.

"HEY! Where do you think you are going?" yelled Xu.

"No pancakes. You said to get some pancakes. No pancakes. Bye." Squall tried to leave, but Xu ran up to him and caught him by the collar.

"GO GET SOME FRICK'EN FOOD! THEN SIT DOWN!" screamed Xu, which made even more people stare at them. "And put away-oh give me that!" Xu yanked the Lionheart style gunblade from Squall's hands and stomped off to her table.

"Hey, give back my-"

"WHEN WE ARE DONE TALKING!" yelled Xu.

Just then, Zell, Irvine, Selphie, and Rinoa walked in the cafeteria.

"Hey, Squall! Where have you been? We were looking all over for you. This is the last place we thought you would be. Say what was that loud noise? Sounded like a constipated T-Rexaur or something." Zell said. Then he saw the hotdog in Squall's hands and bolted for the lunch line.

"Hey, do you have any hotdogs?" asked Zell.

"Sorry. That guy over there got the last one." Said lunch lady1, pointing at Squall.

"Damn! Wait, do you have any pancakes?" asked Zell

"Sorry. That girl over there got the last short stack." Said lunch lady1, pointing at Xu.

"Double Damn!"

"Eggs?"

"Sure." Zell took the plate of eggs offered to him and sat down next to Squall. Everyone now had food, and sat down. Rinoa on the other side of Squall, Quistis next to Rinoa, Selphie on the other side next to Xu, and Irvine next to Selphie.

"Alright, now explain exactly what you saw." Xu said.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" asked Rinoa.

"Shhh, he will tell you." Xu said.

"Well, it's hard to explain. Uh… oh, Zell." Squall said.

"Yeah?" said Zell, dropping a fork full of eggs down his lap. He dusted them on to the floor, and the nearby janitor gave him an evil glare.

"Do you remember the day you ran out of the cafeteria because they were out of hotdogs, and you were chased down by Seifer, Rajin, and Fujin?" asked Squall.

"Noooooo, I only got hit on the head with Rajin's stupid staff!" said Zell sarcastically.

"Okay, it was an exact reenactment of that. Right in front of me. Minus the staff to the head. And minus Zell, too." Squall said.

"Ohhhhh, did they look like ghosts? Like, all see-through and stuff?" asked Selphie.

"No. They were solid. Like they were really there. But… Seifer is dead…" Squall trailed off.

"You just need something to take your mind off of things." Xu handed back Squall's gunblade to him. "After you eat, why don't you go train? Some fighting should do you some good. I'll go with." Xu stood up, and threw her tray away in the trashcan next to her.

"Me too!" said Zell, choking on the last bite of his eggs.

"Ahhhh, I've got nothing better to do." Irvine said.

"If Squall's going, I'm going!" said Rinoa, a sinister grin on her face.

Selphie took out her nunchuckus and began swinging them around violently.

"Count me in-" Selphie met the angry glare of Xu and immediately put them away. "Err, I mean, I guess I'll go too…" said Selphie quietly.

"Then it's settled!" said Zell

"We are going to kick some monster-butt!" said Selphie.

"Thanks, Xu." Squall said.

"Now you owe me one." Said Xu, winking.

"Whatever."

Gneo: So, what do you think? Well, don't just say it out loud, I can't hear you. (Unless you are REALLY loud) But for the rest of you who are not that loud, sending me a review will be good enough.

O.J. did it.
