Showdowns dreams are made of.......

I was sat there, not daring to move The moonlight flooded my room, the clear blinds swaying slightly on the balcony. I had been drained. I knew I would never to trust another guy again. It had happened with Seifer, it happened with Squall, and I'd had enough. I ran to the balcony and looked up- and saw the Ragnarok shoot into the sky, and Selphie run out, along with Zell. They were both screaming out -

"COME BACK HERE YER MOTHER F***ING HOTDOGS!!" Zell screamed out. Selphie was crying

"YOU BOTH KILLED IRVINE! YOU.....COWARDS!!" the Ragnarok soon sped out of sight and I looked down to Zell and Selphie. A single tear fell from my eye, my stomach was churning, very badly. I sat on the edge of my bed. I couldn't be bothered to turn a light on as I lay down and closed my eyes........

A quiet knock tapped on my door.

"Rinoa? Its...Zell and Selphie. Can we come in?" Zell asked, cautiously. "Sure." I mumbled.

The door gave a ding and Zell and Selphie walked in. I looked to my little clock on the side.

"Two thirty a.m.?" I mumbled.

"Yeah.....we couldn't sleep." Selphie sighed, Zell continued.

"Yeah, we were both wondering how you were?"

"I'm....well...as well as can be expected"

I looked at them. They were fully clothed, as I was. I laughed slightly.

"Guess none of us could sleep much, eh?"

We all laughed slightly, then stoped abruptly, knowing that 3 of our members were missing.....

"I know!" Zell smiled "Why don't we all go out, for a late night coffee? My treat...no...make that Squall's treat." he held up about 700 gill, he must have left some over from grabbing what he could for their 'honeymoon.'Selphie laughed.

"Let's paint the town red!" she produced another 700 gill. I laughed, opened my purse and cashed out another 700 gill.

"Okay, let's get wrecked!!"

We took a spare car from the car park and seeing as Mr.leader Squall wasn't leader anymore, we decided that me, Selphie, Zell and Irvine when we found him were to be new commanders from now on. We weren't giving up hope on Irvine. Squall had no right returning now.

We found a little inn near Galbadia. The night sky was awesome, we ran in laughing and grabbed a table, we could get into anywhere now, saving the world had it's pros as well as cons!

We laughed as we ordered a round of hell shots, hats, and hotdogs, don't worry they were all drinks!! Nearlly all the drinks had been named after us!! there were Rinoa's Angel, Booya!, Zells hotdog's, Hat full of Irvine, a glass full of Quistis and of course, Squall bashers.

"Okay, okay." Selphie smiled. "Zell, Rinoa, drink this."

She handed me and zell a really strong drink, the Ultemecia. It wrecked most people in no time.

"Okay Selphie." Zell slurred, already a little tipsy. "You drink one."

"Okay," Selphie chirped. We all looked to the cloudy glasses.

"Uhhhhhhhh...this is gonna make us completely wrecked guys!!" I laughed."

That's the point, girl!" Zell gave me a hug as we neared the glasses.

"One....." Zell counted,

"Two..." Selphie chirped,

"Three!"

I laughed as we guzzled the glass's contents, we all laughed. My head was so light, too light for my liking, but then again..who cared!!

Selphie hiccuped.

"Whooo i feel dizzzzzzzzzzy" she slurred her words.

"Hey girls, this is too cool isn't it?" Zell hugged us both. I sighed "guys...shouldn't we go....looking for Irvine?" "...Yeah...but what can we do now?" Zell merrily said. "We're wrecked from head to toe Rinoa, and you know it." He played with the necklce I had on.

Oh Hyne! The necklace!? I still had it on?

"Hey guys....lets play truth or dare, 'kay?" Selphie squealed.

"Cool!" Zell and I chorused.

We ran out, throwing the gil up into the air, as if it was raining gil. I'd never been so happ....yes, I had...with Squall I was happy and I was damn sure he had been happy...but that little bookworm Quistis had to fuck it all up. Never mind, I was wrecked, drunk, pissed, call it what you want. I was drunk.

We ran out to a nearby field, surrounded by a river nearby. "Okay, Zell" Selphie sprawled out on the grass "...You have to...do a striptease!! Yeah! Woo-hoooooo, a striptease!!" She held her arms out in achievement, I laughed hard. Oh yes, the drink was kicking in as I lay on the earthy ground, feeling almost carefree.

"Okay babes, be prepared for my lil' friend!!" Zell shouted drunkedly as he sang a little song and me and Selphie clapped him on.

First he undid his trousers, then he took off his top. Wow, what a body!! Didn't see that before!!

"Da dun da dun, da dun da dun!" Zell sang as we squealed like little schoolgirls. He pulled down his jeans, revealing kitty boxer shorts.

"Aiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!" Selphie squealed, nearlly choking on her laughter. I laughed hard. "Put it away!!!!!!!" I screamed.

Zell hadn't got a clue we were on about....until he looked down, that is. He blushed madly, then laughed.

"Come see the tiger, ladies." He slurred in a sexy voice.....

BAM!!

He had gone the whole way! Believe me, he was well endowed!! It was all there, and like his hair it was.....well.. *cough cough* sticking out!!

*AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! HA HA HA HA HA HA HEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! YEAH GO ZELL GO ZELL!!" Selphie and I laughed hard.

"Okay, lion king." I slurred, "Put it all back on, behind there." I pointed to a nearby tree. He blushed, gathered his clothes and wandered to the tree. Selphie looked to the stars then back to me, smiling.

"Are you okay?" She looked to my necklace, then to me. I looked at her and we both grinned. "I will be."

I stood up and walked to the edge of the lake. All my hurt towards Squall and Quistis was bubbling up inside...I had decided, anything I had of Squall's was gonna go bye bye. He had paid no attention to me, no thought, and well...that had been it. So I owed him a thanks really, thanks Squall...for fucking up my life...for kissing and hugging and comforting Quistis, the little whore, who probably has screwed all the trepies out there, and the librarians too. Hell, she'd probably had Headmaster Cid! Who, for all her intelligence, couldn't feel hurt if it rammed her up the ass. And for Quistis, thanks for taking Squall away from me, my only security in this cold world. My mom had died. I know that wasn't your fault. I'm still at war with dad...and when a little happiness comes my way you blow it away, and you and Squall ride off into the stars with the ragnarok...and the money...and the guy...but don't think I'm gonna cry. I warned you, and I hope for your sake you keep to the warning, and leave...well what am I thinking? You couldn't say sorry, probably wouldn't. I bet you were crying though Quistis, a weepy slut like you would cry, hey you remind me of a bitch of a friend of mine, now what was her name...Aeris?...No that wasn't it was it?...I dunno...that isn't the point, the point is...Quistis, you win. You get the guy, I'd fight you any day, and I'd win hands down, you have no friends...you have no life, wherever the two of you have gone, you won't be accepted, you'll life isolated, in a run down house somewhere...but yet still happy, happy that you ruined my life. I can see your thoughts.I can feel you both laughing at a fireplace, sipping champagne, laughing and kissing, laughing at me. I hope someone takes Squall 'the male whore' offa you Quistis, then you can go through the pain I'm suffering...I laugh at you both, cos' look who still has her friends to back her up...sure you have each other, but for how long Quistis? How long before another girl becomes Squall *aka the ladies free dildo's* 'true love' ?

With that thought, I threw the necklace into the river and screamed loudly

"YOU BITCH!!...YOU BITCH!!" I fell to the floor, cold and lifeless for a moment. I went pale for a while then to black...

I heard voices...

I was back to my dream. That dream that had triggered all this doubt. Here we go agan!!

"Rinoa, you don't understand." Squall said. The smell again, the hell hole where I was...I knew it all too well. This time though, they were gonna die... I laughed. I had full control of myself. "Oh, I think I do." I laughed. Squall looked horrified, then got back into an evil stare. Quistis apeared from nowhere.

"That we are meant to be..." she started I slapped her hard and she looked shocked. "What? That isn't supposed to happen!! Squally!!" She looked to him, her eyes fearful

"Yeah yeah yeah, we are meant to be and you can't stop us, hun, its old news!!" I laughed, feeling myself getting a little bit happier, and stronger. Squall shook his head in amazement.

"Now......er......um......... hush Rinoa....and sleep eternally!!" Squall swerved his gunblade towards me, as a shot rang out. Squall and Quistis swerved to see Irvine, Zell and Selphie standing there, weapons ready "Y'know Quistis? The slut look looks good on you!" Selphie chirped out. I smiled, wow...so this was friendship!

Irvine cocked his hat and smiled to me. "Hey there, pretty lady," he winked to me, which pissed Squall off.

"HEY!!" Squall lunged at Irvine...and Selphie blocked beautifully "Uh uh uh Squally, you and Quistis now, no hurting us!" She pointed to me as a flash appeared.

After the light had died, I was holding Quistis's neck, this time having little control of what I was saying or doing.

"Okay, Squally poo." I shook Quistis's neck as I cackled. "Dream torture didn't turn out well, huh?" I laughed. Wow, control was good for a person! I loved it!

I made my nails dig into Quistis's neck, piercing her skin slowly.

"Wanna trade Squally poo?" Zell smirked.

"Don..........don't hurt her please..." Squall whispered, tears forming in his eyes...oh please!!

"Uh uh!!" I spoke in a gameshow voice as my nails dug in deeper, blood trickling from Quistis's neck as I laughed.

"Wh...why?" Quistis choked, forming words...

"Wow the roles have been reversed, eh?" A voice smirked through the shadows...there was Seifer. Whoa! Weird huh? "Mind you, screwing Rinoa did have it's better times, compared to Miss Sex Lacking here." He pointed to Quistis. Now it was getting better and better all the time...

"Enough!" Irvine shouted, "Lets finish this!" Everyone took their guards, an atmosphere filled the air...

"Rriends forever people!!" Zell shouted. "Yeah!! right on!" Selphie whirled her shinobu around. The room sort of fuzzed out...to black as clashing sounds were heard, and a gun shot...then nothing...

"Rinoa? Rinoa girl, answer babe!!" Zell shouted and picked me up. I was shaking.

"What?" I held my head, Selphie was just getting up.

"Rinoa.....did you have a dream about...a hell hole?" Selphie mumbled.

"Um, yeah. I did." I said, Zell held his hand. "Gawd...feels like I've knocked out someone!!" he laughed, and looked to Selphie. A huge black eye was forming on her face.

"What's wrong?" Selphie asked.

"Um, Selphie? You have a black eye...what were you doing girl?" Zell laughed. I looked to my hands. Dry blood was all over them, particularly under my fingernails. My happiness rose!

"Zell? Selphie? We did it, we showed em' who's boss!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah..." Zell recalled, "We sure did!!"

"Yeah!!" Selphie jumped up and down then held her head. "Owwwww...I've got a hangover!!

"Hey, lets get back to garden, eh? Lets look for Irvine later, when we aren't kings and queens of the hangovers!" Zell laughed.

We held each others hands and walked back to the car, greeting a warm red sunrise.

Now I'm not afraid. You can keep each other...
