Three Days Ago
Lavantis: Cloud, you in here?!
Lavie
peers into the Final Fantasy VII lounge, spotting Cloud on the couch, and
hurrying over toward him.
Lavantis: I've been looking for you … did Sephiroth give you my message?
Cloud: Haven't seen him… or anyone.
Lavantis: Well, like Sephiroth was supposed to tell
you, we're giving WutaiCat a surprise party.
Cloud: Wasn't her birthday the fifth?
Lavantis: Yeah, but the party's today.
Cloud: Why?
It's not her birthday anymore.
Lavantis: Humph.
It's just what we're doing.
Anyway, I have a job for you.
Cloud: I have a job.
Lavantis: I know, I mean a job for the party.
Cloud: I don't think I'm invited. I didn't get an invitation.
Lavantis: Oh shut up and come with me.
Sephiroth
materializes in her way.
Sephiroth: *crossing his arms* You're not going
anywhere.
Lavantis: I don't have time for this… you couldn't
even pass on a message so NOW Cloud and I have less time to do our work.
Sephiroth: You mean Zero time.
Lavantis: Zero time?
Sephiroth: The Cat's coming.
Lavantis: I thought Tifa and Selphie were distracting
her!
Sephiroth: Right.
They were. Now, they're not.
The door
slammed, making Lavantis jump and Sephiroth spin around on his heals to face
the incoming people.
Reno: That bastard.
Cid: Damnit, this is a disaster.
Lavantis: What's going on? Where are the decorations… and Zell and Squall?
Cid: Ask Reno.
Reno: What?
Like those little chisel monkeys didn't have it coming…
Lavantis: Don't tell me you did something to Zell and
Squall!
Reno: I did nothing they didn't ask for.
Lavantis: Ughhhh… ya know, this is supposed to be a
party! WutaiCat will be her any minute!!
Cid: Uh, yeah, and it will have to go on without
decorations.
Lavantis: Oh no, you two go apologize to Zell and
Squall and come back with the box.
Sephiroth: *snickering* Reno toasted the decorations… and Zell's eyebrows.
Lavantis: You didn't?!
Reno: He stepped on my heel… that bastard.
Lavantis: Oh my god…
at least tell me where ZellTM is.
ZellTM: *cruising into the room* Yo, I'm right here.
Cid: You take care of the problem?
ZellTM: Zell locked down the Final Fantasy VIII
lounge… they're not coming. They don't
think they're welcome here so they want a separate party.
Cloud: Two parties… three days late…
Lavantis: ZellTM could you please just talk
to them and get them over here…
Reno: I'll beat the crap out of any 8 that walks
through that door.
ZellTM: It doesn't matter anyway. Cat's coming…
Reno: Good *reaches in his pocket, takes out a
colorful party hat, and places it on his head*
I'm ready.
Lavantis: This is pathetic…
Cid: It's all we saved from the box…
Reno: That's what you thought… *pulls out a small
plastic object* A kazoo!!
WutaiCat: Hey, what cha doing? Nice hat Reno.
WutaiCat
walks into the room, followed meekly by Aeris, Tifa, and Yuffie.
Sephiroth: The Cat's here.
Lavantis:……
ah… yeah…
WutaiCat: Did you see the mess in the Fanfiction
Section, Lavie?
Reno: SURPRISE!!!
*blows in kazoo*
WutaiCat: Reno *raises her eyebrow* what are you doing?
Silence.
Cloud: Happy Birthday… even though nobody invited
me to this party.
WutaiCat: Party?
