It looked like a sea of people as she stood by the bar, looking around trying to spot Selphie amongst the crowd, people dancing and drinking surrounded her as she wrinkled her nose away, spotting Selphie by the DJ booth, dancing and flailing her arms to the beat as Rinoa waved at her and called her name for what must've been at least a dozen times before she made her way through the swarm, pushing people out of her way, getting stepped on and muttering curses as she made her way to her friend, finally reaching her and placing a hand on her shoulder, bringing Selphie back down from cloud nine.

"I got your text message! Let's go!" Rinoa yelled over the movie and pulled her along as she could hear Selphie giggling.

Once they made it outside the club Rinoa sighed and started walking towards her car, "What a night!" Selphie beamed as Rinoa held her hand.

"What are you doing here by yourself, Sel?" Rinoa asked, fetching for the keys to her car and hitting the beeper once as the car roared to life.

Selphie sighed and slumped her shoulders, "Broke up with Jason, guy was a total dick head." She muttered watching as Rinoa opened the passenger door and pushed her towards it, "Can I go to your place for the weekend? I don't want to be home alone."

Rinoa looked at her and smiled, "It's Friday night so the guys are probably busy, so why not? That way you can keep me company and we can do fun stuff!" and with that being said they both got in the car and made their merry ways to the penthouse.

Squall sat on the sofa, a bowl of pretzels and a beer on the coffee table in front of him and a controller for their gaming system on his hands, his eyes fixed on the big tv screen as Zell sat besides him reading a book and eating pizza.

"Gentlemen, it's Friday night!" Irvine said as he walked out of the bathroom in nothing but a towel. "Time to go party!" He yelled as Squall just shook his head and Zell looked up at him.

"We're not going anywhere." Squall muttered, catching the redhead's attention, "I've been working back to back for the past couple of days, all I want to do is relax, drink beer, play video games and go to my room and look up stupid videos over the internet on my laptop as I fall asleep."

Zell nodded and looked at Irvine, "Would you, for the love of Hyne, put some damn pants on?" The door of the apartment flew open as Rinoa and Selphie walked into the living room and Squall put the remote down, sighing and taking a sip of his beer.

"Heeey~" Rinoa sang as she looked at the three guys on the sofa.

Squall rolled his eyes and sunk into the sofa, Irvine and Zell looking at Selphie as she bee-lined her way to the bathroom excusing herself.

"Umm, guys, I just brought her here for the weekend, she's dealing with a break up, and she's kind of drunk right now? so if she gets kind of touchy with you guys make sure to give her a smack on the hand." Rinoa finished, her eyes lingering on Squall as he raised his beer at her in acknowledgement, the other two just smirking and nodding at her, "Thank you guys!" She skipped and hugged Zell and Irvine, pointed at Squall and moved to her bedroom to change into her pajamas.

Irvine went to his room and put on some clothes, slacks and a tshirt would do and Selphie had somehow managed to get a hold of the surround system and someone's ipod, turning it on and starting to dance with Zell and Irvine, making the penthouse feel more like a pub than a sanctuary for Squall.

"This has to be hell on Earth." He said over the music, looking at the two idiots dancing around the model friend of Rinoa's. "This is the opposite of what I wanted to do today!" He took another sip as his beer eyeing the brunette that had just walked out of her room with pillows and blankets on hand.

"How did this happen?" She asked him as he shrugged and continued drinking his beer. "I was gone for like… two minutes!" Her eyes wide as she looked at trio dancing in the middle of their living room. "Okay, Sel, I bring blankets and pillows! Let's go to bed, ok?" She asked as Selphie just shook her head and continued dancing.

"You!" She pointed at Squall, "C'mere, you little hottie!" Squall shook his head with such fervor it looked like he was about to break his neck and Selphie decided to make her way to him, "Let's dance!" She cheered at him, grabbing his hand and pulling him off the sofa, swaying from side to side in front of him.

Squall shook his head again, drinking from his beer, "I don't do dancing," He told her as she reached for his neck, her hands sliding down his shoulders and to his chest, ripping half the buttons of his shirt open, "Whoa, whoa! What the hell?" He took a few steps back watching as Selphie continued dancing.

Rinoa's face went red, her mouth agape and she slammed the pillows and blankets to the sofa, "You know what, I think I'm going to bed." She said turning on her heel and stomping her way to her room and shutting the door loud enough to make it a point, she was upset.

Squall quirked an eyebrow at Selphie, buttoning his shirt again, "What do you say about going to bed?"

She nodded enthusiastically as Irvine cut the conversation short, "Come on, I'll sleep on the couch!" He told her as he grabbed her hand and ushered her to his room, opening the door and witnessing as she slumped into his bed, smirking down at the image and closing the door but not before bidding her off a good night and then he ran to the living room to join the other two guys that were already slumped on the sofa. "Guys, she's sleeping in my room! My room!"

Zell rolled his eyes and sighed, "I bet that I have more chances with her than you do, right Squall? I just have to be cooler than this idiot." He asked the brunette.

"I'm staying out of this one," He took a sip of his beer and grabbed the remote, turning on the tv and game console.

"Yeah right!" Irvine chimed in.

"Irvine, we all know that you're all bark no bite." Zell added as Irvine sat down next to him and put him in a head lock.

"Ever since you've been gone, Dintch, things have changed around here." Irvine added as Zell struggled to get out of the lock, "Watch me discover and conquer, bro!"

Zell stopped struggling and looked up at Irvine with disgust, Squall also stopping his gaming to look at the redhead with the same amount of disgust that the blonde had in his eyes.

"This is Rinoa's friend you guys, seriously?" Squall asked as Irvine looked at him and grinned.

Living with idiots also had its downsides… as if living with a woman wasn't enough already, she had to bring her model friend into the equation.

The brunette sighed and turned off the tv and gaming console, bringing his elbows to his knees and rubbing the bridge of his nose, eventually standing up and stretching, this had been enough for one night and he had to get ready for the chaos that awaited the penthouse for the weekend.

This really had to be hell on Earth.
