Chapter 5: Wedding Bells
The next morning.
"Hey Tifa, have you seen Yuna?" Rinoa asked Tifa as she exited her room and saw Tifa exit hers.
"Nah, I just woke up. She's probably having breakfast already," Tifa replied. They walked through the lobby towards the dining hall.
"You seen Cloud?" Rinoa asked.
"Hung over. What about Squall?" Tifa replied.
"Same," Rinoa sighed.
They walked into the hall and only saw Wakka and Zell.
"Hey guys, know where Yuna or Tidus is? Auron and Quistis? Anyone?" Rinoa asked taking a seat with Tifa at their table.
"Nah. Auron and Quistis are sleeping in, wedding day of course, Tidus is most likely suffering from a hang over, Sephiroth is probably in the sewers looking for his breakfast, and well...Yuna and Vincent are over there," Wakka explained, then nodded over at the fire place where a seating arrangement of plush velvet sofas and arm chairs face it.
"Rewind," Tifa replied hurriedly, "Did you say Yuna and Vincent?"
Wakka shifted his eyes. "Yes...," He replied scratching his head.
"Like oh my gosh," Rinoa whispered. Then they saw Yuna walking towards them smiling.
"Hey!" She greeted taking a seat.
"Uh, hi Yunie," Rinoa replied nervously.
Yuna's eye brows furrowed. "What's up with everyone?" She asked worriedly.
"Uh...Yuna, were you seating at the fire place with Vincent?" Tifa asked.
"Yeah, so?" Yuna replied taking a bite of a muffin.
"But Yunie! It's Vincent! He's icky...," Rinoa said. Tifa looked at Rinoa oddly then turned to Yuna.
"Just, what's the deal?" Tifa asked.
"There's no deal, and no Rinoa, Vincent isn't icky. I was just talking to him! Geez, it's not like it's the crime of the century...," Yuna replied.
"Bu-ut Yu-na! He's...he's...an-an out cast, he's...you guys never talked to each other before! Why now?" Rinoa whined.
"So he's somewhat of a loner, doesn't mean anything! You know what, he's actually a really nice guy!" Yuna replied fiercely ripping another piece of muffin and popping it in her mouth.
"Whatever you say," Tifa sighed. Rinoa looked around then lowered her voice.
"Yunie, does that mean you like him?" Rinoa asked. Yuna gave her the most scandalized look she could muster as a reply. "I gotta know!" Rinoa pleaded.
"Yeah, tell us!" Tifa pleaded also. Yuna gaped at them for a minute, then smirked.
"Silly, silly little ones. In no way, ever, in a million years, will I ever ever like Vincent that way. Besides, aren't you forgetting something?" Yuna asked and got up, still smirking. "I'm dating Tidus, so it's no use trying to encourage me to like Vincent and break up with Tidy, because you can't have him," Yuna said mostly to Tifa, looking at her.
Tifa's jaw dropped at Yuna who walked away smartly. "I don't like Tidus!" Tifa yelled back at her.
"Of course you don't, you like Cloud," Rinoa said absent mindedly.
Tifa growled. "Shut-up! I do not!" Tifa cried turning on Rinoa.
Rinoa shrugged. "Whatever," She replied.
"God, don't tell me you're going to be taking Squall's lines now, are you?" Tifa asked anxiously.
"..." Rinoa glared at her.
Cloud then came in, looking miserable. He had walked in with Aeris and was talking to her.
"What's Cloud doing talking to Aeris?" Tifa demanded.
"Ah, Tifa, if you're going to get all psycho on me I'm going to leave," Rinoa sighed.
"What ever happened to your Squall lines?" Tifa asked sarcastically.
"..." Rinoa took a sip of juice.
Cloud and Aeris sat at their table. "Hey guys," Cloud greeted in a groggy voice.
"Hey Cloud," Rinoa replied but Tifa just looked up at the ceiling and drummed her fingers against the table.
"Hang over Cloud?" Wakka asked. Cloud nodded miserably and leaned on his elbow.
"Poor Cloud, I'll go get you some water," Aeris said cheerfully and stood up.
"Thanks Aeris, you're a doll," Cloud replied burying his head in his arms.
"I can get water for you Cloud, if I wanted to," Tifa replied still looking at the ceiling.
"Oh Tifa, don't get all jealous on me now, my head is killing me," Cloud grumbled.
"I'm not jealous it's just-," Tifa started but Cloud cut in again.
"Look, please don't start cat fighting now, wait 'till later, ok?" Cloud begged.
"Why?" Tifa asked sarcastically rolling her eyes.
"Because I won't be able to watch it properly with my head throbbing!" Cloud cried angrily. Tifa crossed her arms.
"Hey Cloud, did ya hear that Yuna was actually talking to Vincent earlier?" Rinoa gossiped.
"So?" Cloud asked taking a sip of water as Aeris came back.
"I think it's sort of fishy that's all, seeing as how I never saw them talk to each other before. Makes me wonder if they have been doing it in secret all along!" Rinoa replied.
"Please, Vincent? Talking to a girl? Much less Yuna?" Cloud said and started to laugh. Then everyone started to laugh but Rinoa just looked puzzled and didn't get it. Cloud then stopped and everyone stopped after him. "Anyway, I better take a nap and wake up five minutes before the wedding. Wouldn't want to miss it by sleeping in!" Cloud declared and got up. Everyone else remembered suddenly about the wedding and left.
Rinoa was walking by the fireplace on her way out and looked sideways towards Vincent who was reading in an arm chair. Rinoa stopped and started at him. Vincent felt the presence of someone staring at him so he looked up and stared back at Rinoa, who stared at him back. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent. Vincent stared at Rinoa. Rinoa stared at Vincent.
Vincent finally narrowed his eyes and said, "Hello Rinoa." Rinoa backed away and ran out through the doors. Vincent shifted his eyes and shrugged, returning to his book.
Rinoa walked into Yuna's room. "Oh Yuna! That dress looks wonderful on you!" Rinoa exclaimed. Yuna didn't respond, she just stood there. "Why aren't you responding?" Rinoa asked worriedly. She walked cautiously to where Yuna was standing. "Yuna...?" Rinoa asked in a scared voice and waved her hand back and forth in front of Yuna's face.
"Rinoa, what are you doing?" Came Yuna's voice, but her lips didn't move!
"Eeek!" Rinoa shrieked and staggered back.
"Rinoa, what's the matter with you?" Yuna asked again and Rinoa turned. The real Yuna was walking out of the bathroom with a robe on.
"Yuna! What the-? I thought that was you!" Rinoa pointed at the fake Yuna. Yuna tried to keep a straight face but ended up laughing hard at Rinoa who glared at her.
"No, no. That's my dummy, I try on clothes on her and stuff. That's the dress I'm wearing for the wedding, lovely is it not?" Yuna asked walking over to the dummy and tugging on the bottom of the dress to fix it.
"Yeah it is. But, don't you think it's a little, uh... scary having a dummy that looks exactly like you just standing there?" Rinoa asked and sat on the edge of the bed. Yuna shrugged.
"It's great for playing pranks. Cloud falls for it every time," Yuna replied and cackled evilly. Rinoa laughed nervously and anime sweat dropped. "I can't believe I fell for it," She said.
"Teaches you right. I still can't believe you and Tifa think I'm going out with Vincent now or something," Yuna replied taking a strawberry popsicle from the mini fridge. She handed a grape one to Rinoa who ate it cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'm sorry. By the way, I thought it was great how you re-bounded with that thinking Tifa liked Tidus or something," Rinoa said. Yuna licked her lips nodding and continued to eat the popsicle. Suddenly Rinoa shrieked and jumped up from the bed. "Ah! I felt something move," Rinoa said in a scared voice. Yuna laughed.
"It was Tidus, stupid. He won't wake up," Yuna replied and chucked a magazine at the bed where Tidus's head I guess presumed to be. There was a muffled groan. Rinoa giggled and decided to throw something too. She picked up the trash can and threw it. Yuna snorted and they heard an "Oww!"
Rinoa and Yuna cracked up. "Stop throwing things at me," Came Tidus's muffled voice.
"Aw! Yuna let's stop," Rinoa replied.
"No! It's too much fun," Yuna replied and looked around for something else to throw. She picked up a tennis racket giggling. Rinoa gaped at her and shook her head. Yuna nodded but Rinoa kept shaking her head and laughing silently.
"I know you're planning something!" Tidus suddenly cried sitting up and saw Yuna holding up the racket. Rinoa started laughing and rolled onto the floor. Yuna put the racket down.
"It's not what you think," Yuna said laughing.
Tidus gasped. "Yuna! How could you?" He asked. Yuna and Rinoa rolled onto the floor next to each other and laughed. "Yeah, yeah, keep on a laughing. You'd be super mad at me if I tried to throw something at you!" Tidus cried and chucked a pillow at them. Rinoa screamed and rolled away, and Yuna dodged it.
"Ha-ha!" Yuna cried mockingly pointing at Tidus. Tidus stuck his tongue out at her and covered himself with the blanket again. "Eh, now he won't talk to me. Oh well, so, Rinoa, what are you wearing?" Yuna asked picking up the things they threw around and setting them back.
"It's a surprise!" Rinoa beamed.
"No way! I showed you my dress! No fair!" Yuna cried. Rinoa shook her head and stuck her tongue out at Yuna too. Yuna rolled her eyes. "Fine, fine. But we should be getting ready, me and Tidus have to be there early," Yuna said walking over to the side of the bed and shaking the mound of blankets that formed a cacoon like wrap around Tidus.
"No," Tidus moaned. Rinoa laughed and nodded heading out.
"Ok, ok. See ya soon Yunie! And er...good luck trying to get Tidus to wake up I guess," Rinoa replied trying not to laugh.
Yuna growled. "Good luck indeed. Tidus, I'm going to get ready, you better be up until then," Yuna said walking over to the dummy and getting the dress out.
"I don't wanna," Tidus whined.
"Tidus, this isn't the freakin' first day of school! It's Auron's wedding!" Yuna replied with pins in her mouth as she re arranged her dress. She took it with her to the walk-in-closet. (Walk-in closet?)
"Fine! I always have to do everything," Tidus cried throwing his arms up. Tidus got up and was about to go to his dresser when the door flew open. "Cloud! What the heck, I'm in my boxers man!" Tidus cried diving across the bed and landing on the other side so Cloud wouldn't see him.
"So? I am too!" Cloud cried jumping inside with his hands at his waist super hero like, wearing Batman boxers.
"Yuna is just in there!" Tidus cried pointing at the closet door.
"Then we have to hurry! All the guys are getting ready in my room, I have no idea why, but the girls are probably getting ready in one room by themselves too...whatever, c'mon!" Cloud urged him.
"Tidy, who're you talking too?" Came Yuna's voice.
"Uh...myself...hehe," Tidus replied and glared at Cloud. Cloud ushered Tidus outside but Tidus hesitated. "Shouldn't I tell Yuna?" Tidus hissed.
"No! Don't be such a kiss-up man, just go!" Cloud cried and shoved Tidus into the hallway where he fell and rolled onto the floor. Cloud snickered and closed the door behind them.
"Cloud, I'll kill you!" Tidus threatened shaking his fist.
"Believe me, I tried. Now what are you sissies doing out in the hallway with only your...er...unmentionables on?" Sephiroth asked coming out of nowhere.
Cloud laughed. "Unmentionables," Cloud repeated snorting and Tidus laughed too.
Sephiroth shook his head. "Never mind. I don't think I wanna know," He replied and turned around, walking down the hall way.
Tidus scrambled up from the ground and he and Cloud made a run for it to Cloud's room. But suddenly a door flew open knocking them onto the ground. Tifa appeared and goggled at them.
"Argh, Tifa! You ruin everything!" Cloud erupted menacingly. Tidus hid behind a plant but for some reason Cloud didn't bother. (Hmm...)
"Oh my God. This is way too good to be true," Tifa suddenly said and as fast as Cloud could stop her she pulled out a camera and started taking pictures.
"Ah! Gimme that!" Cloud cried and dove for the camera. Tifa pulled it away and Cloud fell on his face. Tifa cackled evilly and Cloud got back up, his face flushed.
"Oh don't get mad at me! This is pay back from what you did to me!" Tifa snapped.
Cloud's jaw dropped. "Are you fucking kidding me?" Cloud cried.
"No, I'm not!" Tifa cried back.
"Tifa, it was summer camp! I was 12!" Cloud snapped.
"It doesn't matter. You had no right to do that!" Tifa snarled and as Cloud tried to get the camera again Tifa ran away and faced him.
"What happened?" Tidus mused.
"Nothing of your concern, Tidus!" Cloud cried and dove towards Tifa again but she dodged him. "Fine! You know what? Keep it! I have a wedding to get ready for," Cloud said cooly and stood up all cool like. "C'mon Tidus," He added.
Tidus waved to Tifa and followed Cloud. "You'll see Strife! Don't be surprised if there are flyers of this picture all over!" Tifa yelled at them.
Tidus poked Cloud's shoulder. "She's right you know," Tidus said.
"Ah, who gives. Seriously, that girl can take a grudge," Cloud replied knocking on the door of his room.
"You have to knock to get in to your own room?" Tidus asked puzzled.
Cloud didn't answer but instead someone said, "Password?"
"Chocobo 007," Cloud replied and they heard a lock click.
"Nice password," Tidus snorted.
Wakka opened the door. "Hey, who's the newb?" Wakka demanded not letting Tidus in.
"Yo," Cloud replied sticking his hand out. "He's with me."
Tidus looked puzzled. "Wakka! It's me, Tidus!" Tidus snapped.
"So you say," Wakka replied, and let Tidus in reluctantly. Squall was the only one already in his tux.
"Nice, Leonhart. Way better than your SeeD party suit anyway...," Cloud said. Squall glared at him. Tidus started putting his suit on, struggling a little. Cloud flopped down on the lawn chair two inches away from the TV and turned the TV on.
"Guys, you won't believe it, Tifa caught us walking through the hall way in our boxers and she took pictures of Cloud!" Tidus exclaimed trying to find his tie which was the other way around and behind his head.
"Shut up, she's not going to do anything. She knows better," Cloud replied smoothly unwrapping a candy bar.
"I don't know. You did do that prank on her during Summer Camp...," Vincent suddenly replied from a far away dark corner.
"Gah! How can everyone remember that?" Cloud snapped.
"Anyone see my tie?" Tidus asked looking under a bed. Squall shook his head and spun it around to Tidus's front. "Oh! Thanks Squall buddy," Tidus said and then struggled to tie it.
"Cloud man, where's your cologne?" Zell asked looking through a drawer.
"Well, it won't be in the sock drawer now will it Zell?" Cloud snapped and pulled it out of his boot. "Here it is," Cloud replied and laughed evilly.
"You keep it in your boot?" Tidus wondered in disbelief.
"For twenty-four hour use my man," Cloud replied. Cloud passed it around so everyone could spray on a little bit. Vincent suddenly appeared from the bathroom wearing a tux with a dead black rose pinned on it for the flower.
Cloud looked at him and wolf whistled. "Hey Vincent! Spray this stuff on and Yuna will be sure to notice ya!" Cloud cried taking the bottle from Wakka and handing it to Vincent who glared at him a murderous look.
"Hold up. Yuna?" Tidus asked.
"Don't worry about it. Cloud is just an idiot," Vincent said to Tidus and swatted Cloud's hand away. Cloud grinned and shrugged.
"Ok...going once, going twice-!" Cloud said but Vincent continued to glare at him so Cloud slipped the cologne in his tux pocket and patted it. "Too bad, so sad. Vincent will continue to be miserably single," Cloud pretended to sniff and spun around snickering.
"Why Yuna?" Tidus whined.
Cloud jumped up on his bed and looked down on them all. "Alright men, we're all dolled up, and we're ready to go! So we head off now?" Cloud asked. Everyone muttered and nodded. "Good! Now, let us go...!" Cloud cried and jumped down.
They exited the room in a cool like fashion with Cloud leading the group smirking. They trooped into the lobby, but...there was no sign of anyone. "Where are the chicks?" Cloud practically demanded.
"Uh...they're getting ready. If we're lucky we probably only have uh...I dunno...two hours to wait?" Tidus replied. Cloud got steamed and sat on a chair angrily.
"They better hurry...," He threatened.
Meanwhile...
"Ah! Where did my shoes go?" Rinoa cried.
"I think Tifa kicked them under the bed," Yuna replied powdering her face.
"Did not!" Tifa snapped putting an earring on.
"Ok, I'm ready," Aeris declared applying one last layer of lipstick.
"Oh...is my hair ok?" Yuna asked worriedly looking at her face from all angles in the mirror.
"You have short hair, it always looks fine," Tifa grumbled.
"So?" Yuna replied tufting one part then checking herself again.
"Oh, almost forgot, look what I have," Tifa said pulling out some photos from her purse. Everyone huddled around her. Yuna almost gagged.
"Is that Cloud?" Yuna asked.
"Yup," Tifa replied smirking.
"And...are those Batman boxers?" Rinoa asked laughing.
"Eh, they're no big deal. Tidus has Superman ones," Yuna replied. They laughed.
"Speaking of guys I guess, we should get going," Aeris said worriedly.
"Hmm...fine. Do you think Auron and Quistis are at the church yet?" Tifa asked.
"Yes! Oh no, I should be there with her. I am the maid of honor!" Rinoa squealed.
"Yeah, and Tidus is one of the best men. Can you believe you have to go in with Tidus and I have to go in with is dad?" Yuna replied. Rinoa giggled. "It's not funny! I rather go with Tidy than his scary dad...," Yuna grumbled.
"Eh, it's just for the beginning, you'll be with 'Tidy' all you want at the party, won't ya?" Tifa said heading out. Yuna shrugged and grabbing her purse hurriedly followed everyone out. The guys were still waiting and were staring miserably ahead or at their shoes. Suddenly Cloud jumped up.
"What is it Cloud?" Tidus asked.
"I smell them...they're getting closer!" Cloud declared. He quickly checked his hair, pulling out a comb as if it was a sword and just as swiftly fixing his hair and slipping the comb back in his pocket. (Kinda like that cartoon, Johnny Bravo? Yeah...)
The girls came in and to Cloud of course, it seemed in slow motion. But in two seconds they were already standing in front of everyone and waiting for the guys to come back to life so they could get to the wedding already!
"Babes! You look great!" Tidus complimented Yuna.
He leaned in to kiss her but she said, "No, no! Lipstick." Yuna pointed at her lips and took his hand instead. Tidus hung his head.
"Shall we go now?" Rinoa asked nervously. "I'm the maid of honor you know!"
Yuna glared at Rinoa.
"Oh right, I have to go in with Rinny," Tidus said and let go of Yuna's hand and walked next to Rinoa.
"Tidy! You don't have to now!" Yuna snapped. Rinoa blushed and Tidus laughed nervously and hastily moved next to Yuna again.
"Alright, everyone in the damn bus," Cloud ordered and hopped into the driver's seat.
"Shot gun!" Tidus cried and shoved past everyone to get to it first.
They parked the vehicle in the church parking lot and everyone hopped out.
"Oh! Well I have to go meet up with Quistis, bye guys!" Rinoa said and kissing Squall on the cheek she hurried inside.
"Well, I'll see ya later Tidy, go meet up with Auron," Yuna said swinging hands with him.
"Yeah...I guess so. I'll meet you at the altar...stand next to me?" Tidus asked her smiling cutely.
Yuna returned a flirty smile. "Maybe...," She replied.
"Aw, what?" Tidus whined. Yuna giggled.
"Kidding, Tidy. I'll try and get the spot. Bye!" Yuna said and kissed him on the cheek.
Tidus hugged her. "Bye Babes." Tidus then turned around to head towards the church. He waved and blew her a kiss just before he ran to the side where the groom would be in a secret room, and disappeared.
"Wow Yuna, you really got Tidus on the palm of your hand," Tifa commented.
"Ah...even your irritating comments can't bug me now Tifa," Yuna sighed sweetly.
"Hmph," Tifa replied crossing her arms.
"I think it's sweet Yuna," Aeris said, jotting some things down on her note book. (Remember, she's doing some psychology project).
"Enough with this mushy stuff, let's get inside the freakin' church," Sephiroth growled and pushed past them.
"Oh...my pen!" Aeris cried as her favorite pink pen had flown from her hand when Sephiroth pushed her. But it was too late. Sephiroth accidentally stomped on it as he walked.
"Sephiroth!" Tifa growled.
"What? Huh?" He asked. Aeris hung her head and sniffed. Sephiroth looked down. "Oh...was that yours?" Sephiroth asked poking the destroyed pen with his boot lightly.
"Yes. It was," Aeris replied sadly.
"It's ok Aeris, let's go through the wedding then tomorrow you can continue your studies. I'll buy you a new pink pen myself," Cloud declared proudly.
"Back off Strife, I was the one that destroyed it, I am perfectly capable of repaying her back with a new pink pen," Sephiroth snarled.
"You'll end up buying her a light pink pen most likely. Everyone could tell that the old one was a magenta sort of strawberry pink color," Cloud protested. Sephiroth shifted his eyes in puzzlement.
"It doesn't matter what color it is, I'll give her a new pen Strife, not you!" Sephiroth cried after awhile.
"I can't believe you guys are fighting over Aeris, this is ridiculous," Tifa noted.
"We're not fighting over her, we're fighting on who will get her a new pen!" Sephiroth snapped at Tifa.
"Oh dear," Aeris muttered softly.
"Uh...can we get to the wedding now?" Zell asked.
"Wait, I have to wait for Sir Jecht," Yuna grumbled digging around in her purse for a piece of gum.
"Strife, you don't even have the money to purchase her even the cheapest pink pen they have!" Sephiroth continued.
"Oh, so you're putting down my finance budget now is it?" Cloud erupted.
Aeris backed away a little ways from them and took out another pink pen from her pocket to continue writing. Suddenly a black limo drove up into the drive, and everyone watched as it stopped and a man came out of the driver's seat to open the far back door. And, hurray for the world, stepped out Sir Jecht. But he wasn't alone. He had his arm around a lady with a short black shiny dress, that matched her shiny dark hair. They were laughing about something and when Jecht caught sight of Yuna he waved.
"Here we go again," Yuna muttered waving at him back while smiling.
"Yuna! Long time no see!" Jecht boomed. He let go of his lady partner to give Yuna a big bear hug.
"L-Long time no see either Sir Jecht," Yuna choked as Jecht practically crushed her lungs.
When Jecht finally released her he laughed, nodding. "Ah, just call me Jecht, how many times do I gotta tell ya eh? It's like this every time we meet," He said.
"Old habits die hard I guess," Yuna replied brushing herself off.
"Well, you look pretty tonight! All fit for Auron's big wedding eh? Speaking of pretty, lemme introduce ya-," Jecht took hold of the lady's hand and pulled her closer to him as they laughed. "This is Cecile! We met around a month ago," Jecht announced proudly. "Cecile, this is my idiot of a son's girl friend, Yuna," Jecht introduced.
Yuna laughed nervously and shook Cecil's hand.
"I've heard all about...Tidus? Tidus is it?" Cecile asked in this honey dripping voice.
"Yes, yes it is," Yuna replied trying hard to keep smiling.
"Where is he off to now? Oh, right, Auron made Tidus one of his best men," Jecht said in a hushed forced whisper like it was a secret. Cecile laughed but blocked her mouth.
"And that's funny how?" Yuna couldn't help asking.
"Tidus! Being a best man! As if he can do anything right...," Jecht replied.
"Actually, Tidus is very capable of-," Yuna began but Jecht cut her off.
"-Getting dressed all by himself now? And all for Auron's wedding. Isn't my son sweet?" Jecht asked Cecile who continued to laugh.
"O-k, well, it was nice meeting you Cecile, and meeting once again Sir Jecht with you, but I have to go now! Okay, bye bye," Yuna said and was about to turn around.
"Whoa, whoa! Hold up. Aren't we supposed to go in together or something?" Jecht wondered.
"What?" Cecile pouted.
"Yeah...you know what? I can always go alone-," Yuna started but Jecht laughed and cut her off again.
"Nah, Yuna don't be so polite, you polite person...you. Besides, we need the practice eh? I have an idea on who's gonna be next to walk down that aisle!" Jecht cried. Yuna resisted the urge to slap her forehead and smiled faintly while forcing a laugh.
"Well, look at that! We spent the whole time talking and everyone is already inside. Let us go then Sir Jecht," Yuna said. Jecht nodded and turned to Cecile to give her a "fare well" kiss. Yuna turned away and after two whole minutes Cecile went off alone and Jecht and Yuna walked side by side in to the church.
Everyone was seated inside, of course, except Quistis. Auron was up at the altar with Tidus nearby, who had Rinoa standing next to him. Tidus waved frantically at Yuna who waved back. Then suddenly Tidus noticed Jecht next to her and his hand kinda stopped and it fell limp at his side.
"Heh, he's happy to see me," Jecht noted.
"I'm sure he is," Yuna replied. Yuna and Jecht walked up there and Yuna stood next to Tidus.
"Hi Tidy! How ya doing?" Yuna whispered to him.
"Great...up until now," Tidus hissed glaring at Jecht.
"I love you too son," Jecht replied smirking.
"Please guys, I know it's too much to ask, but can we control ourselves at least for Auron's wedding?" Yuna hissed.
"Hmph," Tidus grunted and faced forward.
"I hope you brought extra under wear though Tidus. You know how you are when in front of a massive audience," Jecht continued smirking. Tidus turned red.
"I was five," Tidus snarled.
"Not when you were twelve," Jecht corrected. Tidus started to steam.
"Tidus, please! You're embarrassing me!" Yuna snapped.
"I wish I had a nickel for every time I've said that in my life. I'd be rich," Jecht commented.
"Sir Jecht you too, stop!" Yuna hissed.
"Fine. Just saying," He replied musingly.
"Tidy don't listen to him," Yuna said to Tidus.
"Believe me, he never does," Jecht replied.
"Shut up old man!" Tidus snarled.
Auron turned around stiffly to glare at them. The whole audience was looking at them. But then, Yuna was saved by the bell, (or organ) and the wedding song started. The doors then opened and Quistis came out in her wedding dress, being led by Headmaster Cid. (Haha! Cid...)
Rinoa gushed. "She looks so pretty!" Rinoa squealed.
"Whoa. I didn't know Auron was getting married to that," Jecht said. Yuna rolled her eyes. After the whole hoopla, and Kimahri bringing the rings down the aisle, everyone was free to go.
Tidus was hauling Yuna as fast as he could away from Jecht when Auron grabbed Tidus's arm. "Wait, we need ya to do signing," Auron said. Tidus sighed and with Rinoa they did some official paper signing boring stuff.
"Looks like Tidus is leaving you a lot for Leonhart's girl...," Jecht commented behind Yuna.
"No! They're just the maid of honor and best man. Why would Tidus like Rinoa-"
"-When he has you? Good question," Cloud cut her off as he approached them.
"Oh my God! If it isn't Strife!" Jecht cried.
"J man!" Cloud cried. Yuna raised an eye brow.
"Ah, if it isn't my favorite best friend of my son's whom I wish was my own," Jecht greeted and he and Cloud hugged and patted backs.
"Ah, J-man, you always say that! Ever since the first time I came over to your house after school, to help Tidus with homework when we really hung out in his room playing video games!" Cloud replied.
"I remember!" Jecht cried and he and Cloud laughed.
"...Cloud?" Tidus asked as he came back to re-join Yuna.
"Hey Tidus! Your old man is back," Cloud said patting Jecht's back.
"So I've heard...," Tidus muttered.
"What 'Whiny Tidy', you jealous?" Jecht asked.
"No! Now old man, leave my friend alone. He's my best friend, not yours!" Tidus cried.
"Ah Tidus, you know me and your old man have always been tight. Right J-man?" Cloud asked Jecht.
"Indeed! Ah Cloud, what I wouldn't do to make you my own son instead of Tidus. It's sort of sad really that I have to resort to my son's best friends instead...," Jecht replied.
Then he and Cloud looked at each other and laughed. Tidus's fist shook. Jecht and Cloud headed out while talking to each other, while Tidus stayed close behind to hear what they were talking about.
"So Cloud, you dating anyone?" Jecht asked.
"Nah...just playing the field, you know," Cloud smirked.
"From what I heard, for both teams, I assume?" Jecht asked. They roared with laughter together.
"What?" Yuna asked Tidus.
"Jecht is asking about Tifa and Aeris," Tidus reported.
"Oh...," Yuna replied, wondering why he didn't just say their names. But then Cecile came and hugged Jecht.
"Oh, Jecht, who's this?" Cloud asked looking Cecile over.
"Oh, yeah, Cecile doll, lemme introduce you again to a friend. This is one of my good for nothing son's friends, preferably my friend as well," Jecht introduced.
"Strife; Cloud Strife," Cloud said taking her hand and kissing it.
"Oh, how polite! I'm Cecile," Cecile replied.
"And Cecile, this is my son," Jecht said and turned to Tidus behind him.
"Oh, cute! Nice catch," Cecile said punching Yuna on the arm.
"Thanks...? Hehe...," Yuna replied nervously.
"Dad, who is this?" Tidus asked.
"This is Cecile dumb ass. My lady friend," Jecht replied.
"Lady friend?" Tidus repeated.
"Yeah, what are you, deaf too? What else is wrong with you?" Jecht asked. Tidus glared at him and didn't answer.
"Guys, the bride and groom are already at the party! Let us go?" Rinoa asked holding hands with Squall who saw Jecht.
"Squall!" Jecht boomed. Squall mustered an actual smile and pounded fists with Jecht.
"Are all your friends, friends with your dad?" Yuna asked Tidus.
"Yeah, it's like his plan to befriend all of them so he can tell them all sorts of secrets about me," Tidus replied slapping his forehead. As if on cue, when Cloud and Squall came back from talking to Jecht, Cloud came up trying not to laugh and keep a straight face.
"Hey Tidus, how come you can't go to petting zoos again?" Cloud asked.
Tidus growled. "I was six!" Tidus exploded.
"Not when you were fourteen," Cloud replied and he and Squall started to laugh. Well...Squall did silent laughing. Tidus sniffed and wiped his eye.
"Aw, Tidy don't cry," Yuna said.
"I just wanna go to the party now," Tidus whined. Yuna nodded and patted his arm.
"Let's go!" Rinoa pleaded. Cloud, Squall, Aeris, and Rinoa were invited to come to Jecht's limo while riding to the party place.
"You can come too Yuna doll, but Tidus can't," Jecht said to Yuna. Tidus glared at him. Yuna stood her ground.
"No way Sir Jecht, you know I don't leave Tidus! I'm staying with him, even if we aren't going in some fancy limo," Yuna huffed haughtily.
"Eh, ok," Jecht waved her off and closed the door. Then the limo backed up and drove down the street.
"Thanks Babe, you're great," Tidus told Yuna.
"Only because I spend more than half my time with you Tidy!" Yuna replied happily trying to make him feel better.
"We're going to be late if the rest of us don't get there soon," Zell grumbled.
"Ok then, let's go," Tidus replied with renewed courage and taking over the driver's seat.
And away they go!
Tidus drove in to the after party place. The party hall. Where you have parties for weddings. A place where there are tables and a buffet set up, and a dance floor in the back. You know what I'm talking about, if, you have ever been to a wedding. Wait is it called a reception?
"Wow, there's a lot of people here...do you think we'll get to meet someone we haven't seen in awhile? Oh this is just like a reunion!" Yuna squealed happily.
"Let's just hope it's not someone we wouldn't like to meet again," Tidus replied getting out. Everyone else got out and walked to the entrance where a gigantic man was at the front, wearing sunglasses. Yes, sunglasses. At night. The horror!
"Name," The man boomed. Yuna coughed and waved her hand in front of her face. Everyone said their name and got in.
"Tidus and Yuna?" The man asked Tidus before he could say his name.
"I'm Tidus and Yuna, yes. How did you know?" Tidus asked suspiciously. "Do you stalk us or something?"
"Uh...no...you're the only ones left on the list," The man replied and let them in. Tidus laughed nervously and lead Yuna inside. There was some light classical music playing as everyone was getting ready to eat dinner, and walking to the buffet table.
"Well, isn't this nice?" Yuna beamed.
"Wait two hours or so," Tidus laughed evilly. Yuna rolled her eyes and saw a hand waving.
"Yunie! Yunie over here!" Rinoa was calling, waving her hand frantically and hopping up and down.
"Hey look, Rinny saved us a table. Let's go!" Yuna said.
"It's nice having minions do that for you, isn't it Yuna?" Tidus asked. Yuna gasped.
"She's not my minion," Yuna protested shifting her eyes. They got to the table and Rinoa smiled at them.
"Finally! Squally and I saved this table for us four. Let's get something to eat now!" Rinoa squealed.
"Ok Rinoa, calm down a little," Yuna replied laughing and setting her purse down.
"I'm just so excited! Aren't you excited Squall?" Rinoa cried.
"..." Squall replied.
"Now, don't let Squall talk too much! He won't let anyone else say something," Cloud said coming up to them. Rinoa had long since flown to the buffet.
"Hey, don't we get spots at the table?" Tifa asked.
"Just do this," Cloud said and picked up a chair from another table, then kicking aside Tidus's chair he put his down in its place.
"Hey!" Tidus cried. Cloud snickered and he and Aeris went to the buffet table. Tifa growled and followed them.
Kenshin came back awhile later and looked around bewildered. "Where did my chair go?" He wondered.
Aeris, Yuna, and Rinoa were at the salad station. Hehe. Station.
"Such fancy salad stuff they have here!" Yuna said cheerfully plopping a slop of green stuff on her plate. Rinoa looked at it disgusted and saw Tifa at the meat section.
"I wanna get real food!" Rinoa complained.
"Then go ahead and get fat for all I care," Yuna huffed. Rinoa sniffed and cautiously got a tiny bit of the green stuff.
"No, no, no, no," Cloud repeated tossing different things behind his back as he surveyed the food. One by one the food he threw hit Kenshin on the head and he finally passed out.
"Cloud! Just pick something," Tifa hissed.
"I can't! It's all so-," Cloud started when he dropped his plate.
"Cloud!" Tifa cried angrily, watching the place fall and break.
"They have...bacon," Cloud said in a hushed whisper and his eyes got all glassy like and big. Tifa looked scared for a second. Cloud whooped and ran like a bullet to the bacon place. So fast he ran, that he couldn't stop at the moment he wanted to and accidentally slid under it, tripping over the bacon guy who flew up and screamed. Bacon Man then landed on the dessert section, catapulting the whole table (the Bacon Man was fat) towards a certain person, who had just woken up from consciousness, and then at that instant got bombarded with Jello, chocolate mousse, a table, pudding, cake, cupcakes, cookies, brownies, cheese cake, muffins, and a strange glowing slime I have no idea what it is.
Kenshin was sent to an ambulance ten minutes later.
"Cloud! See what you did? You hurt Kenshin!" Tifa growled. A bunch of weeping fan girls followed two paramedics who were taking Kenshin with his knocked out swirly eyes away with a stretcher.
"Bacon, my beloved bacon," Cloud swooned as he kissed a bunch of bacon slices as they all fell upon him lightly. Everyone got back to their table and started to eat.
"Yuna, what the heck are you attempting to eat?" Tidus asked as Yuna sat down. Yuna was about to say (About to say what the green stuff was called! Almost...) When they hear booming laughter.
"J man! Over here!" Cloud called to Jecht and invited him to their table. Tidus got up as Jecht sat down.
"I lost my appetite," Tidus said and was about to walk away when Yuna pulled him down to his seat again. As everyone started to have some small talk, Aeris writing some stuff down, everything went ok. Yeah, I know, a miracle. Wait. It didn't go ok for long...
"So Cloud, how's business going?" Jecht asked.
"Oh, wonderful, just great," Cloud replied.
"And what about those little orphans you take care of?" Jecht wondered, hiccuping. Too much to drink, Jecht?
"Orphans? How sweet of you Cloud!" Cecile beamed.
"Yeah, those kids are great. Every time I wake up to their smiling faces it's like I'm doing something good for the world, you know?" Cloud replied happily.
Tifa grumbled something nobody could hear about Cloud never even seeing the orphans while she did all the cleaning and cooking and he never did shit.
"Tidus, I'm afraid to ask you what's been going on with your life," Jecht suddenly said.
"No worries Old man, nothing interesting there," Tidus fired back.
"Oh nonsense! Yuna's dad emailed me the other day that you two were planning to move in together sometime soon."
Yuna suddenly started coughing and choked on a lettuce leaf. Tidus patted her back but she quickly recovered, saying, "Oh, daddy is such a joker. Tidus and I aren't old enough to move in together yet, no, it's too early..."
"Yeah, um, what she said," Tidus replied nervously.
Rinoa suddenly noticed Yuna's look and changed the subject. Alright, so things went back to normal after that...
Then Auron and Quistis made their grand entrance, and everyone applauded. Then those who were finished with eating went to the dance floor to dance "fancy like" for awhile, as Auron and Quistis started the traditional groom/bride dance stuff.
Rinoa blew out of her chair.
"Like oh my God let's dance!" Rinoa cried to Squall who stared at her with such a pleading look that if it were me, I would have melted. "Oh c'mon don't tell me you don't know how, you do know! Remember? Remember? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member? 'Member?" Rinoa cried. (Wow, Rinoa, go ahead and spazz out)
Squall looked at her worriedly as if she was going mental. Which, if you ask me, might have been the case...
But Rinoa wouldn't take no for an answer and hauled him to the dance floor. "I wish I had a camera," Cloud snorted.
"I wish I had a dance partner," Tifa sighed.
"I wish Yuna would let me eat! Geez, what is it with women and dancing...," Tidus grumbled cause Yuna was pulling on his arm for him to go dance.
"Oh Tidy please, please, please!" Yuna pleaded.
"No!" Tidus cried.
"Wow, Tidus is standing up for himself...," Cloud noted.
But then Yuna leaned in real close and gave Tidus big puppy dog eyes. Tidus sighed.
"Fine...fine...let's go," Tidus said and pushed his plate away.
"Yay!" Yuna cheered.
"Then again maybe not," Cloud noted again rolling his eyes. Tidus and Yuna left, and Cloud drummed his fingers against the table frustrated.
"Oh God, fine, fine! Since everyone seems to be dancing...," Cloud said awhile later. Tifa looked up. "Hey, uh...wanna dance?" Cloud asked Aeris turning to her.
"Um...ok...sure...," Aeris replied uncertainly. Tifa looked away muttering something. When Cloud and Aeris left, Tifa looked around then took Aeris's pink notebook. Tifa hummed while she flipped through it.
"Seems to have a lot of junk on Sephiroth...," Tifa noted. " 'Deep, personal issues, arrogant, uncontrollable acts of sneer commentary, might even be involuntarily to act such a way...'," Tifa read. Tifa was about to turn to a page where she saw her name when someone sat down next to her and she shut the note book closed.
"Meddling into the Aeris's stuff I see? Well, read anything interesting?" Vincent asked smirking.
"Oh, shut up Vincent. Well...but since you asked anyway, I think Aeris is planning to make Sephiroth her alpha guinea pig," Tifa retorted.
Suddenly Vincent chuckled. "I find that funny," He replied.
"I find it weird. If you ask me, I think Aeris should have therapy on herself before she does it on others," Tifa replied sternly.
"Eh, well...I wouldn't kill her plans just yet. I wanna see how that therapy session with Sephiroth ends up going," Vincent said, and then proceeded to take a sip of a red drink he brought with him.
"What is that?" Tifa asked curiously.
"Uh...tomato juice...," Vincent replied shifting his eyes.
"Yuck...but, I guess that stuff is good for you," Tifa muttered
"So...you gonna muster up the courage to ask Cloud to dance?" Vincent asked pushing his juice away.
Tifa glared at him and retaliated. "You going to ask Yuna?" She smirked.
Vincent's own smirk dropped and his eye twitched. "No," He replied sternly.
"Why not?" Tifa asked.
"Because I don't want to dance, and also because she's dancing with Tidus. Plus...I'd hate to dance with her just as much as she would hate to dance with me," Vincent explained cooly.
"Fine...we're even. And just to get the record straight, I don't like Cloud that way...," Tifa replied shrilly.
"I'm sure you do-I mean don't!" Vincent replied hastily and Tifa glared at him. Suddenly when Tifa and Vincent looked around nobody was at their tables anymore, and they were in a crowd at the dance floor. They seemed to be watching something...
"Bet you 500 Gil it's Yuna putting on a show," Tifa said getting up with Vincent to see what was the hoopla. (Hehe I like that word)
"Deal. I say it's Cloud already drunk and singing 'Pretty Woman'," Vincent replied and Tifa laughed. They tried to see over everyone's heads. Soon disco music filled the place, and everyone cheered as the lights turned off except for a light up floor.
"Yuna! It's our song! I mean...our other song!" Tidus cried.
"Oh yeah!" Yuna cried back and they walked onto the floor, holding hands, ready for their performance where everyone made a crowd around them on the floor. Two spot lights came over who else, but Tidus and Yuna :
Tidus: Shake it, shake it!
Yuna: Shake your groove thing! Shake your groove thing! Yeah yeah!
Yuna & Tidus: Show em' how we do it now...!
Tidus: Let's show the world we can dance...
Yuna: Bad enough to, strut our stuff!
Tidus: The music gives us a chance ...
Yuna: We do more, out on the floor!
Tidus & Yuna: Groovin' loose, or heart to heart!
Tidus & Yuna and a mysterious background voice: We put in motion every single part!
Everyone: Funky sounds, wall to wall
Everyone: Were bumpin' booties havin' us a ball y'all
Everyone: Shake your groove thing! Shake your groove thing! Yeah yeah!
Tidus: We got the rhythm tonight...
Yuna: All the rest, no, we're the best!
Tidus: Our shadows crash in the light...
Yuna: Twist and turn it, we keep burnin' !
Tidus & Yuna: Shake it high, shake it low!
Everyone: We take our bodies, where they wanna go!
Tidus: Feel that beat, never stop!
Yuna: Oh hold me tight! Spin me like a top!
(-The Song Goes Slow-)
Tidus: There's nothing more, that I'd like to do...
Yuna: Then take the floor and dance with you
Yuna and Tidus: Let's keep dancing...let's keep dancing!
Crowd: SHAKE IT! SHAKE IT!
Tidus: Groovin' loose, heart to heart!
Yuna: We put me in motion, every single part!
Everyone: Funky sounds, wall to wall!
Everyone (Cloud extra loud): Were bumpin' booties havin' us a ball y'all!
The song ended and everyone applauded. "I guess we both lose 500 Gil," Tifa mumbled to Vincent who nodded.
Cloud suddenly slid onto the floor where Yuna and Tidus left after they bowed and started in a bad high pitched voice, "Pretty woman! Walking down the street!"
Everyone kinda muttered an excuse and walked away, leaving Cloud on the floor curled up and screaming into the microphone.
"Pretty-wait...where did everyone go?" Cloud asked after awhile getting up.
"Dashing performance Yuna, as always," Jecht was saying to Yuna as Cloud came running to catch up with someone.
"Uh, thanks Sir Jecht," Yuna replied laughing nervously.
"Did you think I was good J-Man?" Cloud asked Jecht excitedly.
Jecht laughed out loud then suddenly turned serious. "No," He replied flatly and Cloud hung his head. Tidus snickered.
"Oh Yunie that was great! I haven't heard that song in years!" Rinoa beamed and everyone agreed. "If only we had our own dance...," Rinoa muttered to Squall who anime sweat dropped.
"Well, I'm going to take a break, I'm going to the bathroom," Yuna said and kissed Tidus on the cheek and walked away. Squall, Tidus, and Cloud then got in a big discussion over something stupid like sports and stuff awhile later and yeah...anyways, let's follow Yuna.
Yuna walked to the bathroom humming. There was a line though so she sighed and stood there waiting. Vincent was walking to the guy's bathroom line, and saw Yuna's back. He wanted to turn around but he had to go, so...he got in line with his head hung low. Wakka came out of the bathroom and noticed Vincent.
"Do not go in there!" Wakka warned Vincent who grimaced as Wakka passed by.
"Oh, hi Vincent!" Yuna greeted cheerfully because she had turned to see who Wakka was talking too.
Vincent turned to her stiffly. "Hello Lady Yuna," He replied modestly.
"Wow! I like your tux...the dead black rose is very original!" Yuna beamed. Vincent looked down at the pinned flower and shifted his eyes.
"Thanks...?" He replied, the question in his voice unconvincing.
"Yeah, really," Yuna giggled.
"Oh well, in that case, I guess it's safe to say you look stunning in your dress as well," Vincent replied but then the line moved and he moved with it, reminding him that he was at a wedding, in line for a bathroom, and there were a lot of people around him that could have heard him compliment Yuna on her dress. He shuddered.
Yuna smiled and nodded. Yuna then moved a place in line as well whistling. "So, do you think the wedding is going well?" Yuna asked awhile later.
Vincent guessed she couldn't stand two minutes without talking to someone so he allowed himself to answer. "Eh...it's ok. The food was good and the drinks well provided, and by the looks of things the dance floor isn't that bad," Vincent replied turning around and watching Cloud swinging a bottle around on top of the shoulders of a group of people as they chanted "Whoop! There it is! Whoop! There it is!"
"I'm just glad no one's gotten drunk yet," Vincent added sarcastically. Yuna laughed and Vincent turned back to the line. They both moved up a space.
"How long do you think you're going to stay?" Yuna asked.
"I...really don't know," Vincent sighed.
"Oh, ok," Yuna replied flipping her hair and moving up another space. Finally Vincent and Yuna were next, but when Vincent went inside he quickly backed out.
"Oh...my...God...," He stammered and covered his nose.
"Bad?" Yuna asked. Vincent didn't even answer but just moved over and when he was far enough he started to breathe hard until he got his breath back. "You can always go in the girl's bathroom, I'll make sure no one sees you!" Yuna suggested.
Vincent looked at her in horror. "I rather not...," He replied shifting his eyes.
"Oh c'mon! No one's looking!" Yuna persisted and pushed him through the door before he could protest further. Vincent had his eyes closed but Yuna laughed.
"Please! Out of everyone I know, I'd think for you to be more mature then that!" Yuna said. Vincent peeped an eye open and was genuinely surprised. "No pink fountains, no unicorns, no rainbows. Just sinks and stalls," Yuna said smiling slyly. She then went over to the mirror and started applying more make up on herself. Vincent looked around then went in a stall.
Right when he came in, he heard the door open and the sound of shoes on the tiles. "Hey Yunie!" Came Rinoa's voice.
"Rinoa! Gosh, it seems like forever, I was waiting in line this whole time," Yuna grumbled.
"God, I mean, remember how everything was peaceful and alright during dinner and the ball room dancing? It's a complete jungle out there! After you and Tidus did that disco dance, everyone started to drink more and dance more and well...I haven't seen Auron or Quistis since! Me and Squall had to hold hands throughout the whole dance floor to not get lost!" Rinoa cried.
Yuna laughed. "I'll bet you anything Quistis and Auron left their own wedding party. All they needed was the wedding to be officially married, they didn't have to stay at the party, so when everyone got drunk enough they probably left," Yuna replied and Rinoa giggled.
"That's so like them," Rinoa agreed. There was a faint sound of rummaging through their make up bags and Vincent resisted the urge to bang his head over and over again at the stall door.
"Hmm, not to be fishy but...is there someone else in here or is it just me?" Rinoa suddenly asked. Vincent bit his finger nail nervously.
"Uh, no, I don't think so...," Yuna replied, sounding a little as if she was suppressing a laugh.
"Yunie! You're trying so hard not to smile, what's up?" Rinoa asked. Then there was the door again, and more foot steps.
"Hey guys," Tifa greeted. Vincent silently slapped his forehead.
"Tifa! I haven't seen you like, all night. Have you and Cloud been secretly kissing somewhere?" Rinoa asked and she laughed with Yuna.
"No! Cloud is out on the dance floor doing the conga line or something, or well...trying too," Tifa replied.
"I wonder what Tidy is doing...he better not be attempting to kill his dad or something," Yuna replied worriedly.
"Yeah, that'd be bad!" Rinoa agreed.
"Yeah, bad that I'd miss it!" Yuna replied and they all laughed.
"Yeah well I gotta go badly, hold on," Tifa said and ran to a stall that, so happened to be, the one Vincent was in.
"Wait!" Yuna cried and Tifa stopped.
"What?" She asked hopping up and down. "I have to go!"
"I...uh...I'm going in that stall!" Yuna cried and ran inside before she could.
"Um...ok?" Rinoa said puzzled. Tifa just shrugged and ran to the one next to it.
Yuna panted and smiled at Vincent. "Saved ya!" She whispered.
"Barely!" He hissed back. He shook his head. "When am I going to get out of here?" He asked.
"I don't know, as soon as they leave. But I'll have to go with them or else I'd look suspicious," Yuna whispered back. They heard a toilet flush and for some reason Vincent jumped up onto the their toilet seat and leaned on the walls with this hands.
"So they won't see my feet," Vincent replied to Yuna's puzzled expression.
"Yuna, you done yet?" Rinoa asked walking to the stall and knocking on it.
"Uh, actually, I might be awhile," Yuna replied trying not to laugh. She turned around and looked up at Vincent, winking at him. Vincent wondered what she thought so funny about this and rolled his eyes.
"Well I'll wait for you then," Rinoa replied and Vincent let out a groan accidentally. Rinoa stared in horror at the stall and Yuna blocked her mouth from laughing. "Yunie, are you...ok? Did you have the shrimp or something?" Rinoa asked worriedly.
Yuna and Vincent looked at each other with suppressed laughter and Yuna replied, "Yeah, told ya it was going to be awhile!"
Then Tifa came by next to Rinoa. "Yeah right Yuna! You're lying!" She suddenly cried.
"What? What do you mean?" Yuna asked sternly.
"You're allergic to shrimp!" Tifa snapped and laughing she pushed Rinoa against the stall crying, "Let's have Rinoa come in and check!"
"Wait no!" Yuna cried but it was too late. Rinoa got pushed against the stall opening the door which pushed Yuna back against Vincent who lost his balance and fell forward landing on top of Yuna and Rinoa.
"Oh my God!" Tifa cried at the scene. Rinoa quickly got up.
"Yunie!" She yelped.
"Ow!" Yuna complained rubbing her head and sliding out from under Vincent who rolled over and rubbed his shoulder. "This is so not what it looks like," Yuna said to Rinoa and Tifa's facial expressions.
"I...uh...um-uh-I can-uh," Vincent sputtered but nothing useful came out.
"Vincent! What the hell were you doing in the girl's bathroom?" Tifa exploded.
"Yuna, did you know he was in that stall?" Rinoa asked.
"No! Well, yeah-that's not the point! That wasn't why he was in there!" Yuna cried.
"You know what, I don't even want to know," Tifa replied shaking her head and walking away.
"Tifa! Oh my God you're so immature!" Yuna cried at her angrily. Rinoa helped Yuna up.
"Yunie, what really happened? I believe you," Rinoa told her.
"Vincent couldn't go in the men's bathroom so I let him go in here because at the time no one was in here! Then you and Tifa came in and so for Vincent not to get caught I went into his stall and acted like I had to go! Vincent, say something!" Yuna cried spinning around to face Vincent.
"Y-Y-Yeah that's what happened," Vincent replied nervously.
"Ok, ok. Don't worry about Tifa, she just probably wanted something like this to happen to you," Rinoa replied.
"What do you mean she 'wanted'? Does Tifa not like me? Everyone likes me!" Yuna pouted. Rinoa laughed nervously and patted Yuna on the back and told her not to worry about it.
"How am I going to get out of here unnoticed?" Vincent asked behind them as they walked out.
"Stay behind us, and maybe nobody will notice ya," Yuna told him. Rinoa went first and looked around, then pushed Yuna and Vincent out.
"I, uh...I'm going to go," Vincent told Yuna looking up at her.
"Ok, bye!" Yuna replied waving at him.
"Yunie, maybe we should go back to our table," Rinoa told Yuna once Vincent left.
"Ok, I need to see what Tidus is doing," She agreed and they walked over there.
They unfortunately had to get through the dance floor first to get to their table, and it was like being in a Russian night club.
"I can't get through all these people!" Rinoa cried waving her hand in front of her face from the smoke machine. Yuna didn't reply and stood stock still. "Yunie?" Rinoa cried worriedly and faced the direction she was staring at. "Oh...my...God...," Rinoa gasped.
They saw another conga line, but it wasn't Cloud leading it. It was Seymour. With a Hawaiian skirt and coconut top and he was wearing a traffic cone as a hat. (What the fuck?)
"Oh my fucking God," Yuna cried.
"This is insane!" Rinoa cried also and actually wanted to cry.
"Hurry, let's go through here and don't make eye contact with him!" Yuna warned and they moved through the crowd, trying not to look at Seymour.
After a long time they finally reached their table, where Yuna could see that Jecht was booming about something and Tidus was ready to lose it.
"Yuna! Come ere'!" Jecht called once he noticed Yuna. Yuna plastered on a smile and walked over there, taking a seat next to Tidus.
"Anyway, Cloud was just talking about what he'd like to name his kid, and all that," Jecht started.
"After me of course!" Cloud cried holding up his drink.
"Tidus wanted to name his after himself too, but no, everyone agrees he should name it after me," Jecht continued. Yuna had lost track on what they were talking about and also wondered how the heck they got to that conversation.
"The only thing I'm naming after you old man is a restraining order!" Tidus cried angrily. Yuna put her hand on his arm. Then suddenly Quistis came by and sat at their table and everyone greeted her cheerfully.
"Hey everyone! Well, the party is almost over and well...we have to do one thing first!" Quistis said and waved her bouquet around.
"Oh! I almost forgot about that!" Rinoa squealed. Quistis nodded and all the girls got up and made a crowd on the dance floor. The music stopped for a moment so that Quistis could throw the bouquet.
"I'm so getting that bouquet!" Rinoa cried snapping a football helmet on. Yuna looked at her weirdly and stood with her in the front.
"Woopee! Bouquet throwing time!" Seymour cried in a high pitched voice and started hopping up and down in the back of the crowd.
"One...Two...Three!" Quistis cried and threw it. All the girls jumped up (Rinoa dived/flew) but someone in the back corner who was talking to Squall suddenly caught the bouquet on his head. The bouquet fell on Zell's arms and he looked around confused. Suddenly Squall dropped his glass and ran out of there, but it was too late for Zell. A herd of women charged and dove at him and he was lost in the crowd. Rinoa stomped her foot angrily and threw the foot ball helmet over her shoulder.
"Oh Kenshin, I'm so glad you're ok!" A fan girl squealed as Kenshin came walking in a slow pace with crutches.
"Yes I'm-," He started but a foot ball helmet came out of nowhere and hit him on the head and with another "Oro!" he fell to the floor unconscious once again with another concussion to the head.
"Rinoa it's ok, next time we have a wedding you can get the bouquet," Yuna comforted Rinoa who sniffed.
"No! I never get the bouquet! It's a curse I tell ya!" Rinoa cried. Tidus came over to them with a large chunk of cake and he was eating it furiously.
"This is good cake and all, but after I'm done I wanna go home!" Tidus told Yuna sternly.
"Me too," Rinoa sniffed.
"Ok, let's go thank Quistis and Auron and get the heck out of here," Yuna said and walked over to Quistis who was talking to some other people. After that Tidus and Yuna went back to their table to get their stuff and tell the others that they were going home. Squall agreed to go home, and so did Tifa and Aeris but Cloud was still talking to Jecht all drunk.
"And then, and then I told him, listen to what I told him, I was like 'Yo, you gotta die man, this whole taking over the world thing, it isn't right' and he's all 'yeah I know, whatcha gonna do about it' and I was all 'I'm gonna like kill you dude' and then it was so funny I was like 'die!' and he was all 'no!' and then, and then, well it's all hazy from there but after that I just let my sword do the talking," Cloud said taking a swig of his drink and hiccuped. Jecht laughed.
"I love those poodle jokes!" He barked and he and Cloud laughed together.
"Cloud, we're going home, c'mon!" Yuna ordered Cloud shaking him.
"No Yuna, c'mon, it's not even noon yet," Cloud protested and shrugged her off.
"Cloud! It's four in the morning! Sorry Sir Jecht, but we're all going to go now, it was nice meeting you again though," Yuna told Jecht.
"C'mon Cloud, let's go," Tifa said and took his arm, dragging him on the floor.
"Bye J-man!" Cloud waved.
"Bye everyone! Drive safely! Stay in school!" Jecht called out.
"My history teacher hates me," Cloud grumbled as Tidus helped Tifa drag him out the door. "I have an F in biology!" He continued. Yuna started to laugh with Rinoa.
"God, Cloud is so drunk right now," Rinoa said.
"You think?" Tifa snapped.
"Yoho, yoho! A pirate's life for me!" Cloud sang and got up from the ground where Tifa and Tidus dropped him.
And that is it for the wedding. Whose going to drive everyone back to the hotel? Will Seymour get a ride with anyone or will everyone just be too scared? Uh...let's see...more questions, more questions...will Vincent be haunted by the embarrassing moment he had in the girl's restroom? Will Rinoa catch the bouquet at another wedding ever? Will Zell survive from the pack of women now making a mountain of themselves on top of him so he can't breathe? Will Kenshin ever be safe for 10 minutes without someone stealing his chair or throwing something at his head? Tune in next time for chapter 8!
