A/N: Zell and Irvine got kicked out of the fair for harassing the chocobo man... What next? Quistis cheating on Seifer? (I own the hot and sexy DJ Davie! And Trisha, Sam, and Ray are just characters I made up.) (I own none of the FF characters.)

Part 2

-----

A few hours later, back at the hotdog stand, Quistis, Selphie and Rinoa were still laughing at what had happened to Zell and Irvine; Squall was secretly smiling to himself.

"Oh Chocobo!" Quistis imitated.

"I'm your number one fan!" mocked Rinoa, and they shook each other's hand.

"What do you think they're up to now?" Selphie asked Squall when they had settled down.

"Probably getting into more trouble," answered Squall in monotone.

"Probably." Selphie nodded.

"What should we do now?" asked Rinoa.

"It's already getting dark out, maybe we should head back to the hotel," suggested Quistis, "I heard they have a pool!"

"Alright! Let's go swimming!" exclaimed Selphie excitedly.

"But what about the Zell and Irvine?" asked Rinoa, "We can't leave them."

::beep beep:: It was the pager that Quistis always had on her in case of emergencies.

She took it out of her bag and read it out loud to the group. "Hey Quistis, it's Zell, we're back at the hotel. Catch ya later, we're goin' to the pool."

"Well, that's good enough for me, let's go!" said Rinoa.

They left.

-----

Zell and Irvine put on their trunks and headed for the pool.

When they got outside, Irvine spotted a cute brunette in a skimpy little bikini that hid practically nothing lying on a lawn chair. He stared at her for a moment or two before taking off to the lawn chair next to her.

Zell was left alone.

'Does he ever stop it with the girls?' Zell wondered. 'I wonder why they don't go crazy over me,' he thought, as he did a belly flop off the diving board, splashing three girls that were lying on some beach towels close by.

"What a jerk!" said one of the girls.

Irvine walked up to the cute brunette. "Is this chair taken?"

She looked over and smiled at him with perfect teeth. "Nope."

Irvine stretched himself out along the lawn chair. He looked over at her; she was still looking at him. She giggled.

"What's your name?" Irvine asked.

"Trisha," she replied.

"How are you enjoying you're stay here Trisha?" Irvine asked.

"I've been here only two days, and it's been the worst two days of my life!" She smiled at Irvine, "Until now."

'Score!' Irvine rejoiced in his mind.

"CANNONBALL!!!"

Irvine and Trisha looked over to see Zell jumping off the diving board for the second time and then dropping with a big splash, soaking some more girls on the other side of the pool who got up and left.

"What an idiot!" said Trisha.

"Yeah," Irvine agreed.

-----

Selphie, Squall, Rinoa, and Quistis finally arrived at the hotel.

"Alright everyone lets go swimming! Meet back out here in fifteen minutes," Selphie said excitedly.

They all headed for their rooms to change.

Rinoa got into her room, took her bikini out of a dresser drawer and laid it out on the bed. She was standing in the room naked when there was a knock on the door.

"Don't come in," she called out.

The door opened and Squall walked in and went into the room saying, "Rinoa, I have to talk to you about something."

"AHHH!" she screamed and grabbed for the blanket on the bed to cover herself with.

Squall turned red. "Wow, I didn't know you wanted me so badly."

"I said don't come in!" she yelled, turning a pink colour from embarrassment.

"Ohhh..." Squall said, "I was kind of hoping you wanted me, are you sure?"

"OUT!!!" she screamed, throwing a pillow at him.

"Fine, I'm going," he said as he left, closing the door softly behind him.

-----

When they all got out to the pool area they saw Zell all by himself on the deck and Irvine still flirting with the brunette.

Squall and Rinoa went over to some empty lawn chairs and sat down, Quistis did a graceful dive into the pool, and Selphie went over to Zell.

"Hiya, Zell!" Selphie said in a perky tone. She sat down beside him, "What's up? Why do you look so sad?"

Zell pointed at Irvine and Trisha. "How come he can get any girl he sees and I get them all running away?"

Selphie thought for a moment. "Maybe you have to change your approach."

"What do you mean?" asked Zell.

Selphie looked exhausted. She stood up. "Don't be such a show-off, is what I mean." Then she walked away to let him think about that.

-----

When they were all done swimming they went back to their rooms to get ready for the dance that Selphie had got tickets for earlier on their way back to the hotel from the fair.

When they got to the dance location they were practically trampled by a stampede of people trying to get in.

"Must be a good place," commented Rinoa.

They showed their tickets at the door and they were in.

It was fairly dark inside, spotlights and people were everywhere. On the left there were a few really big speakers that were blasting the DJ's tunes, and there were chairs on the right where a few people were chatting.

Two blonde girls ran up to Zell. One had short hair, lots of freckles, and was quite short. She wore a tank top and a mini skirt with high heel sandals and was very pretty. They other girl was not so much pretty as cute. She was almost taller than Zell and had a round face, long hair, and pale skin with no freckles. She was wearing an open-back sleeveless top, hip hugger jean and skater shoes. They took Zell by his arms and dragged him out on the dance floor.

Zell looked back at Selphie, who was giving him an 'All-right-now-don't-blow-it' look, and then Zell was gone.

In less time than it would take to say 'chocobo,' Irvine was at the other side of the room flirting with a group of young ladies who were giggling at whatever it was that he was saying to them.

Rinoa took Squall's hand and took him out on the floor, while Selphie and Quistis were heading over to harass the DJ.

When Rinoa got to a spot on the floor, she let go of Squall's hand and turned to face him. They stared at each other for a moment, and the DJ came on the speakers and said, "How is everyone doing out there?" The whole place screamed. "That's what I thought. I'm DJ Davie and I'll be here all night, so if you want to request a song and send it out to anyone, don't be a stranger. Were gonna turn down the heat a bit right now. I have just gotten a request; this song goes out to Squall and Rinoa. This is Lonestar... 'Amazed'," DJ Davie said in a sexy whisper.

Rinoa smiled at Squall who looked over to the speakers where Quistis and Selphie were waving to him. Squall looked back at Rinoa. He knew that if he stood there any longer she would leave and not talk to him for the rest of their vacation, and no matter how well he hid his emotions for her from the group, he couldn't fool himself; she had something in her eyes that made him want to be with her.

He moved closer to Rinoa and put his arms around her waist, and she put her arms around his neck.

While they were dancing, Squall, not caring who saw, moved in closer to the unsuspecting Rinoa and kissed her neck.

Rinoa giggled.

Quistis and Selphie observed them carefully from across the room.

"Wow, they're really getting into it!" Quistis said.

"Yeah," said Selphie. "This was a great idea!"

Two guys were standing next to Selphie and Quistis. They were both about the same height. One had brown hair, the other black, and they were wearing baggy pants and muscle shirts. (Not to mention incredibly hot!) They walked over to the ladies and asked it they wanted to get something to drink with them. Of course they said yes.

-----

Half an hour later, Zell and the two blondes were on top of a massive speaker, Zell in the middle and a blonde on either side.

Irvine was still with the ladies who were practically in his lap, and there were several buckets nearby filled with drool.

Selphie and Quistis were becoming quite interested in the guys that invited them to get a drink, and the two guys seemed interested in them as well.

"Where are you from; what do you do?" Sam, the brown-haired guy asked Selphie.

"I'm from Trabia garden, but then I transferred to Balamb, and now I'm an unemployed SeeD," she answered winking at him.

"What about you?" Ray, the black-haired one asked Quistis.

"I'm from Balamb Garden too, and Selphie and I work together. What about you two?" Quistis asked Sam and Ray.

Sam answered, "I'm from Deling City, and Ray here is from Dollet." Sam gestured towards Ray.

"We do deliveries to Esthar every once in a while, and we just got a huge raise, so we came here while we had some time off; which we don't get very often," said Ray. He winked at Quistis who smiled and looked away.

While they were talking, another slow song was put on. "This song goes out to all the lovely ladies out there. This is 'The Rose' by Seal." DJ Davie said in his dreamy voice.

Ray stood up and walked over to Quistis. "May I have this dance?" he
asked.

Quistis smiled. "Of course."

They went out onto the dance floor.

Selphie shifted her weight uncomfortably when Sam didn't ask her to dance. She couldn't take it any more; she got up and walked over to where Sam was sitting. "You're such a gentleman, asking me to dance and all. Of course, I'd love to dance! Thanks for asking!" she almost screamed.

Sam acted somewhat ackwardly around girls sometimes. "Well, if you want to so badly." He said coolly.

Zell was also out on the floor. He was taking turns dancing with the blondes. This time he was dancing with Tiffany, the shorter one; next time it would be Jill's turn.

Rinoa and Squall were also out on the floor. They had been there practically the whole time.

Irvine was still over, cool talking the drooling ladies.

And the night continued like that for hours, until finally DJ Davie came on again. "Ladies and gentlemen," he started, "It's been a great pleasure to be here tonight, but they tell me that we have to stop soon, so here's a song to wrap things up. I wanna see everyone on the dance floor! This is Edwin McCain with 'I'll Be'..."

A swarm of ladies surrounded Irvine, "Dance with me! Dance with me! Dance with me!" They all said at once.

Irvine was forced to choose. He chose a girl from the back. She was average height, with bright blue eyes and a big smile. "Wanna dance?" he asked her. She almost fainted. He led her onto the floor.

-----

On the way home Zell had fallen asleep in the back.

Quistis was looking at the small piece of paper that Ray had given to her. She opened it up, and her heart leap, because what was written on the paper was Ray's phone number, and a message that said, 'Call me sometime, Ray.'

"What's that you got there?" asked Selphie.

"Nothing," Quistis said quickly.

"Oooo!" said Irvine as he grabbed the note from Quistis' hand. "A love letter!" Irvine didn't know how close he actually was.

"Hey! Give it back!" Quistis pleaded.

He read it out loud to the group.

"Hey Quistis, I didn't know you had two boyfriends. It's not like you at all to cheat on Seifer," said Squall.

Everyone went silent.

"He's not my boyfriend; I met him at the dance, and he's a very nice guy," Quistis defended herself rather loudly.

"Right... we believe you... heh...heh...heh... uh-oh," said Irvine, ducking out of the way of Quistis' air born bag.

"Close one," said Irvine looking at where the bag had landed.

"If you hadn't of ducked, that would have hurt you very badly!" said Quistis, crossing her arms.

Squall took the note from Irvine and gave it back to Quistis. She grabbed it from him.

Irvine, still covering his head, said, "Won't do that again."

Squall drove them home.

-----

Everyone slept in that morning, especially Zell, who had never partied harder.

Selphie was the first one awake. She looked at her clock; it read 10:32am. She got out of her bed and opened the big window to let in the sun. Selphie covered her eyes with on hand as she stared into the blinding light. It filled the room around her.

Selphie walked into the bathroom and washed her face with warm water.

'I wonder if the others are awake?' she thought. Then there was a knock on her door. 'I guess that answers my question.'

She threw on a housecoat and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was not one of her friends, but it was Sam who she'd met at the dance the night before.

"What are you doing here?" she screeched. "How did you know I was here?"

Sam smiled at her. His brown hair was nicely combed back and he was wearing a red t-shirt and baggy blue jeans. "Don't you remember?" he spoke as if she were a little girl that he was explaining something very complex to. "You're friend, Quistis, said that you were staying here, and I said that Ray and I were jus..."

Sam started to fade off as Selphie's thoughts took control. She couldn't remember anything. 'I was probably too busy starring at you,' she thought, starting to drool.

"Hey! Are you listening?" He waved a hand in front of her face and she blinked back to reality. "No one listens to me," he whined.

"Hmmm...?" Selphie wondered what he had just said.

"Never mind..." he said under his breath. "Well, anyways, I came by to see how you slept. Did you sleep well?" he asked kindly.

"Yes, thanks," she managed. "Is Ray with you?"

"No, he's back at the hotel ordering breakfast, I also came by to ask if you and Quistis would like to join us," he said.

"I'd love that and I'm sure Quistis would, too," Selphie said. "I think Quistis is still sleeping though."

"Well maybe I can leave our room number with you and when you two are ready you can just come on over," he offered.

"That'd be great!" exclaimed Selphie.

Sam told her the hotel and room number.

"I'll see you in a bit," he said, taking a step back.

"Yep, see you." She waved and closed the door, her heart pounding as it shut. 'Wow, a date!' she thought as she started looking for something to wear.

-----

When Selphie had decided on what to wear, which consisted of a small purple tank top, short shorts and sandals, she woke up Quistis.

Selphie pounded on the door. "Wake up!" she shouted.

The door opened and Quistis appeared in the doorway. She was wearing a nightgown with a zigzag pattern on it. Her make-up was smudged and her hair looked like a bird had made its nest in it overnight. Her expression went from sleepy to 'Kill-Selphie' mode.

"Why did you wake me up?!" she demanded.

"Sam and Ray invited up for breakfast sleepy head!" Selphie said jumping up and down.

'Ray!' Quistis thought with a sigh. 'He's so gorgeous!'

"You'd better hurry up. I don't know how long it took you to get that hair 'do, but I hope it takes you less time to get it out than it did to put in," she joked.

"Thanks..." Quistis muttered unimpressed.

"Need any help with it?" Selphie offered.

"Sure, come right in if you like, I was hoping for company," she said sarcastically.

Selphie took no notice and walked into the room.

Quistis was about to flip, but than thought that maybe she could use the company. She was still thinking about what she had said last night... 'He's not my boyfriend; I met him at the dance, and he's a very nice guy... but Seifer...'

Quistis was digging through a drawer trying to find a brush.

"Hey! What's the matter nest-head?" Selphie asked.

Quistis didn't look up. "Nothing," she said.

"Oh... Seifer," Selphie suspected.

Quistis froze and stared blankly into the drawer, a tear rolled down her check.

"Hey, don't worry about him," Selphie said with a big grin. "Let's go and have a nice breakfast for once, OK?"

Quistis nodded.

-----

When Quistis' bird's nest was nicely combed out, Selphie and Quistis left for Sam and Ray's hotel. It wasn't very far so they walked.

Their hotel room was on the third floor, and since neither Selphie nor Quistis wanted to walk up three flights of stairs, they took the elevator.

Reaching the top, they stepped out of the elevator and started their search for the room. Selphie found it almost instantly.

She knocked on the door and waited for an answer.

While they were waiting a blonde man came walking down the hall with a lady beside him who was falling all over him, and they were coming in their direction. Selphie didn't seem to notice, but Quistis sure did.

Quistis turned white and when Selphie felt an ice-cold hand, grip her arm she turned to see what was up. 'Is that Seifer?' she wondered.

Ray opened the door, but no one was there. When he stepped into the hall he saw Selphie trying with all her might to keep Quistis from flying off the handle.

"Is this why you never show up, Seifer?" Quistis demanded pointing at the lady beside him.

The lady stood next to Seifer and held onto his arm. She was fairly tall and slender with long black hair. She wore a long purple dress with flowers, and sandals. Her face was oval shaped and were pretty.

'I know her from somewhere, but who is she?' thought Selphie.

"Hey Quistis, baby," said Seifer, ignoring the question, "I was just going to come back, what are you doing here?"

Ray come up beside them. "What's going on? Don't make me call the lobby!"

"Who are you?" Seifer asked with a smirk.

"I'll do it!" Ray threatened.

"Seifer, don't bother coming back; it's over!" Quistis said, a little sad but relieved.

"Wha... Wha-da-ya mean 'over', baby, it had never started!" he said coolly.

Quistis gave Seifer a death glare before turning and walking into Ray and Sam's hotel room. Breaking up had never felt better, she knew that she could live without ever seeing him again; heck, she had been doing it for a long time already!

When Selphie and Quistis walked into the room, Selphie gave Quistis a big hug and said, "I knew you could do it."
