Comments: I would like to thank Midnight's Butterfly for the things you pointed out in the second chapter. I had no idea that they were there. The first one you pointed out though was supposed to be there. To Palomino333's comment on the first chapter, Wow you must have actually read the summary. Just being sarcastic cause I had already told a lot of what is going to happen. I still love you buddy! To MinktheWolf, "..." If anything like that is to happen with Cloud and Leon/Squall I assure you it will be in another fic. But they will probably at one point hangout there sometime. I really dunno yet. A big thank you goes out to my other reviewers from both chapters; PrincessSerenity 110, Pearl Warrior, and Beeria. It is really nice to know that people read my story and enjoy it. It makes me feel deep down in my itty bitty, twisted fangirish heart that people actually like it as much as I do. Well, without further ado, I present the third chapter of is shot Okay, Okay I get the point! Goes of to fight the stupid t-rexar in ff8 that is not allowing me to escape

Disclaimer: If I owned practically everything mentioned in this fic, I'd be rich as all get out.

Cloud followed the others down a long corridor, wondering the whole time what exactly Squall had meant by a 'secret place'. It was obviously a secret hangout, but why was it secret. And why did these three hang out with each other when their ages were completely different. He was thinking so hard that he didn't see Squall stop and ran smack into him.

Said teenager whirled around. "Holy... you okay?" Squall asked. Cloud nodded. The impact from running into older boy had knocked him on his butt and that was it. Squall helped him up and the chilliness of before set back in.

"Well, we're here," Squall said gruffly. Cloud was beginning to wonder if Squall was bi-polar or had male pms. Looking at him, Cloud figured both.

"Now remember, you made a promise that you wouldn't tell anyone where we hung out. If you do we'll..."

"Yuffie, please don't elaborate. Besides practically everyone already knows we hang out here, so it's not a big deal," Aerith interrupted the ninja before the other girl could finish. Cloud flashed a smile to the pink clad-girl, who turned away. Was she blushing?!

"Hey, stop flirting with my best friend, buddy!" Yuffie said, poking Cloud on the chest. The other's laughed, but Cloud blushed an inhuman shade of red.

"Well, we've been wasting enough time. Come on," Squall pushed open the door. Cloud gasped. They were inside a giant library! There were as many books as there where stars on the sky. Squall smirked, though it was more of a smile.

"Haven't you ever been in a library before?" He asked.

"Not as big as this. The school library was only a couple of shelves compared to this," Cloud breathed, full of awe.

"You're acting as if these dusty old things are actually important," Yuffie said, kicking a shelf. A small book from the top and landed on the ninja's head.

"Ow!" the girl exclaimed. The others all laughed.

"Okay so here are the rules for playing here; don't thought the books around, don't mix them up, and don't get too loud," Squall recited.

"Just the basics of being in a library, only we can run in this one," Yuffie said cheerily.

"Tag!" Aerith said tapping the ninja on the shoulder and running among the books.

"Hey! No fair!" the ninja whined. Squall and Cloud looked at each other and ran.

The game continued, Cloud being tagged one out of every two times. They stopped when everyone was on the verge of passing out from oxygen loss.

"So, having fun yet?" Yuffie asked Cloud.

"More than ever in my life, thank you," Cloud replied.

"You know, we didn't even do anything special today, besides asking you to hang out with us," Squall informed him.

"You serious?" Cloud asked.

"Yeah, why?" Aerith asked.

"No one has ever really played with me that much before. Unless they we're playing dodge ball and needed a target." Cloud said sadly.

"Why would anyone do that to you? You're almost cooler than me!" Yuffie exclaimed.

"I dunno," Cloud replied.

"Well we won't let that happen, will we Squall?" Yuffie asked cheerily.

"Hey, what about me?" Aerith joked.

"Uh..." Yuffie paused. Cloud, Squall, and Aerith only laughed.

"Hello?" a voice cut it's way through the air in the library. Cloud watched the reactions of the others with interest. Squall seemed to perk up, while Yuffie's cheery demeanor seemed to darken and Aerith shifted in her seat.

"Squall?" Cloud heard the distinctive feminine tone to the voice. Who was this girl that Squall liked and the other's didn't? His question was answered when a girl Squall's age turned the corner. The girl had dark shoulder length hair and dark chocolate eyes. Her outfit consisted of arm warmers, a blue shrug that fell to her mid thigh, a black tank top and shorts with a blue skort.

"Hey Rinoa!" Squall greeted her happily, getting up quickly. Yuffie rolled her eyes.

"Hi Squall!" She smiled. Then she waved at the other girls, who politely but unenthusiastically waved back.

"Who's the new guy?" She asked.

"That's Cloud," Squall informed her.

"Hello Cloud, I'm Rinoa; Squall's girlfriend" Cloud noticed that Aerith and Yuffie stiffened at that. He wondered why. Rinoa seemed nice enough.

"Hey, weren't you guys supposed to be home by 5 for dinner?" Rinoa asked.

"Yeah? Why?" Aerith asked.

"It's 5:30." Yuffie, Squall, and Aerith blanched simultaneously.

"We gotta go!" Squall announced. Then he took off, the girl's and Cloud at his heals.

Rinoa and Squall were at the head while Yuffie, Cloud, and Aerith lagged a bit behind.

"So, what's wrong with Rinoa?" Cloud asked between breaths.

"What do you mean?" Aerith gasped.

"You two obviously don't like her," Cloud asked.

"She's the devil! If she had it her way, Squally would be robot boyfriend of the year! She hates us and tries to get him to stop hanging out with us! I don't trust her at all!" Yuffie spat.

"Oh," was Cloud's only reply.

"Yuffie, she's not that bad," Aerith scolded her.

"That's why you stiffen up every time she so much as speaks," Cloud informed her truthfully. Aerith hung her head shamefully.

"You guys! We're gonna be even later than we already are!" Squall yelled back at them. The paced increased and there was no more room for conversation.

Well, what do you think? Review as always!
