Part LVII

[thunderedge]

Tifa: hah....I should be used to this by now.
Zack: *comes over with Aerith on his arm* Cloud's out already? I thought he could hold it.
Aerith: Apparently he can't..
Aerith: He's being bested by an 18 year old kid
Tifa: Apparently it was some strong stuff...
Aerith: *shrugs* Well Roxas drank more of that stuff than all of us combined, I'm sure.
Aerith: *rolls her eyes* Let's keep Cloud away from beer, for a while..
Tifa: I don't think he's in any condition to drink anymore.
Tifa: But we'll have to watch him tomorrow...
Aerith: I mean...at home.
Tifa: Yeah.
Aerith: *nods*
Tifa: ....he'd better not be...
Tifa: ...Ugh.
Tifa: *shakes her head*
Aerith: Leon, you distract him while we hide the beer tomorrow, okay?
Leon: Mhmm.
Rinoa: *nudges him* You've got quite a responsibility, don't you, Squall?
Leon: *blinks and tilts head slightly*
Izzy: (if...Irvine asks Tifa to dance, I would laugh a lot.)
Aki: (XD)
Izzy: (or Aerith)
Izzy: (either would be funny)
Aki: (He wouldn't dare to ask Aerith XD)
Izzy: (haha Zack would kill him )
Aki: (I mean, Zack's probably taller than he is XD)
Aki: (and can be intimidating)
Izzy: ("MY wife! >:[“)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Aki: (oh Zaaack XD)
Zack: Yeah, Cloud's a handful.
Zack: Especially when you've gotta carry him.
Zack: I mean, he may not look like much, but he's pretty damn heavy.
Izzy: (in both senses. XD)
Aki: (XD)
Leon: I'll say.
Tifa: ....*nods in agreement, considering she's the one currently holding him up*
Aerith: He'll learn his lesson, since we'll be flying home tomorrow morning..
Tifa: We might want to...get him to his room.
Aerith: Of course. *helps her pick up Cloud*
Zack: You ladies all set?
Tifa: I think we'll be fine. *puts one of his arms around her shoulder*
Aerith: *does the same* Yeah. Though you could help us open the door to his room.
Izzy: (You know, they've probably done this, like...a billion times before XD)
Aki: (yep XD)
Irvine: ...You can't decide, can you?
Leon: *jumps* ...
Irvine: ...Well, we do need a new commander-slash-headmaster for Balamb. Perhaps that will help you choose.
Aki: (Irvine's all business XD)
Izzy: (hah)
Izzy: (Cloud's out, Aerith and Tifa are gone..)
Izzy: (he's on his own)
Aki: (Leon? XD)
Izzy: (yeah)
Aki: (What about Yuffie *shot*)
Izzy: (haha)
Aki: (and Sora)
Izzy: (Sora, I guess...)
Izzy: (but Yuffie XD)
Aki: (what about her? XD)
Izzy: (she's Yuffie, that's what.)
Irvine: You could teach all the SeeD new techniques.
Irvine: And I bet you'd enjoy it.
Leon: I don't want to be a leader, Irvine.
Irvine: You are an awesome leader, though.
Leon: I just want to follow for a while..
Irvine: *Sighs* You're like talking to a brick wall..
Irvine: plus the conversation
Quistis: *just walked over* You say it like you just realized it, Irvine.
Quistis: You do understand that this isn't as simple as Squall just wanting to stay...
Irvine: ...what..
Irvine: Squall belongs here, though
Leon: It's Leon.
Leon: ...
Quistis: I talked to Seifer a bit.
Quistis: He had some rather interesting things to say...
Leon: *blinks*
Quistis: You didn't leave of your own free will, did you?
Leon: I don't really know. I don’t think I did, I was happy here, I didn't have a reason to leave.
Quistis: That day was chaos. On top of your disappearance...
Quistis: We were suddenly in contact with the inconceivable.
Quistis: other worlds, that is.
Quistis: We didn't experience it here, but there were reports from other places of strange creatures appearing.
Izzy: (trust her to explain everything. XD)
Leon: Heartless..
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: (And Leon's commentary)
Quistis: I believe that's what they were called, yes.
Quistis: Several others seemed to vanish at the same time as you did, Squall.
Quistis: Selphie...though she couldn't really give us an adequate explanation of what happened.
Sora: Selphie?
Aki: (yeah, he was standing there XD)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Sora: Tillmit. :o
Izzy: (probably heard "Heartless" or "other worlds" XD)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: ("HEY, I know this!")
Quistis: yes, Selphie Tillmit...
Sora: I went to school with her.
Quistis: *blinks*
Sora: She was one of my really good friends, back on the islands.
Sora: I really miss her.
Quistis: Yes, she did say something about islands...
Aki: (Selphie's babysitting Ester and Aarao XD)
Izzy: (awww XD)
Sora: :\
Sora: Kairi! Riku!
Sora: They know Selphie!
Kairi: Really?
Sora: yeah!
Riku: ....
Irvine: ...so you know my girlfriend.
Kairi: Do they know where she went? You remember, she left suddenly, about half a year ago...
Irvine: She's here..
Kairi: *turns to him* Girlfriend? Really?
Irvine: yeah.
Irvine: I'll go get her..
Irvine: *goes off to get Selphie*
Quistis: .....
Izzy: (not too happy about her lecture getting interrupted XD)
Aki: (haha)
Izzy: ("respect mah authoritay!")
Selphie: ...I'm trying to read bed time stories!
Izzy: (Quistis is like "I have rank now, you better listen!")
Izzy: (haha)
Irvine: ...Jeez. Fine...just come out.
Aki: (haha)
Aki: (SeeD instructorrr)
Roxas: ...
Sora: Hey
Sora: You were in Twilight Town with Seifer, right?
Roxas: With Fuu and Rai, too. *nods*
Roxas: Fuu was sort of like Riku, only more intimidating. *shrugs*
Sora: she was scary.
Fuu: ...FOUND YOU. *smacks Seifer on the back of the head*
Seifer: Gah!!
Rai: Can't hide from us, Seifer, y'know! D:
Fuu: GOOD FOR NOTHING KNIGHT. :|
Seifer: I wasn't hiding, dammit!
Rai: suuuuure
Fuu: ...Roxas? Sora?
Sora: *waves*
Roxas: ...
Seifer: *grumbling*
Seifer: ....waitaminute. You remember him? *jerks a thumb at Roxas*
Fuu: Who'd forget?
Rai: ....did I know that kid?
Fuu: ....*looks like she's about to smack her forehead, but doesn't*
Fuu: TREPE.
Seifer: Well, this is messed up...
Quistis: ...yes?
Fuu: ....NEVERMIND. *turns to Seifer* SMARTASS.
Quistis: *stops and stares for a moment*
Rai: *sighs* Izzat Squall?
Leon: ....
Seifer: None other, dammit.
Seifer: Though apparently he's got a cute nickname now.
Rai: What?
Leon: ......
Leon: Hold your tongue, Almasy.
Rai: Bites back.
Fuu: *crosses arms over chest*
Fuu: Trepe, how did you deal with these two? DX
Quistis: I...didn't, really...that was the problem.
Fuu: Mm, true.
Quistis: *sighs* But really, you two, could you keep away from each other's throats for a little while?
Quistis: This is important.
Leon: .....*locks trigger back into place*
Aki: (he was getting pretty irritated too XD)
Roxas: ....I'm...
Izzy: (hahahaha)
Roxas: going to go find Axel now. *leaves*
Sora: bye~
Izzy: (he shouldn't be allowed to have his Gunblade at the party XD)
Aki: (haha yeah)
Seifer: Don't go getting yourself killed or anything.
Izzy: (nice, Seifer. Nice.)
Roxas: *pulls the same trick on Seifer as he did on Axel*
Roxas: *twists his arm behind his back and yanks*
Aki: (oh, go into a portal, end up behind him, and only his hand sticks out of the portal)
Izzy: (hahahaha)
Seifer: Ah--ow ow ow!
Quistis: .......
Roxas: When you're ready to shut up, I'll let go.
Quistis: *attempting to keep her composure*
Seifer: Geez, I give! I g--ow!
Roxas: *lets go and leaves for good*
Seifer: *rubbing his arm and muttering* That's what I meant by attitude.
Fuu: Obviously, even on other worlds, Seifer picked fights, and made new rivals.
Fuu: *shakes head*
Rai: *sighs*
Sora: ^^
Leon: ....*sneaking off, while dragging Rinoa with him*
Seifer: *glaring*
Quistis: *clears her throat*
Leon: *gone with Rinoa*
Izzy: (haha, he escaped. XD)
Aki: (sorry Quisty...no one important is listening anymore XD)
Izzy: (hahaha)
Aki: [clichéd balcony scene]
Leon: ...That...was a pain in the ass.
Izzy: (.............*melty fangirl insides*)
Aki: (Squinoa fangirl :p)
Rinoa: *laughing* At least it didn't break out into a fight.
Izzy: (shush XD)
Izzy: (it's like...ahhh)
Izzy: (I have turned into one because of YOU XD)
Aki: (I swear, his name is soooo fun---yes)
Izzy: (hahaha Squiffie)
Izzy: (it makes funny pairing names)
Aki: (XD yes)
Aki: (simply because of the 'q')
Izzy: (Squ....loud. No.)
Izzy: (uhh XD)
Aki: (yeahhh no)
Izzy: (yeah, it's the q)
Izzy: (...*dies*)
Izzy: (oh god stop laughing, me XDDDD)
Aki: (XDD)
Izzy: (that thought was just far too funny)
Aki: (Squeon)
Aki: (what? XD)
Izzy: (no, better)
Izzy: (Squeifer)
Aki: (*dies*)
Izzy: (it sounds so damn HILARIOUS XDDDD)
Aki: (XD)
Aki: (ever heard of Squaerith? Really. )
Rinoa: *leans against the railing* I know you're not a party person, Squall...
Izzy: (*dies*)
Aki: (it was funny when I saw it the first time)
Izzy: (it's better than Cloteris or however they write it)
Izzy: (like, whut XD)
Izzy: (I love how Cloud/Tifa is Cloti)
Izzy: (it sounds funny too)
Aki: (yeah XD)
Aki: (What also sounds funny is Cleon. It makes me giggle)
Aki: (oh yaoi fans)
Izzy: (oh right XDD)
Izzy: (I forgot that one)
Rinoa: but it seems like something's bothering you.
Izzy: (I got distracted in the middle of her sentence...)
