Balamb Garden

"...Becca, are you sure you don't want to dance tonight? You could even dance with me!"

Luana was standing in the bathroom, carefully applying eye liner in front of the mirror. Yes, she was only half dressed, but no woman wants makeup all over her dress! Her head poked out of the door to see how ready Beccalyn was.

"We've got less than an hour before dinner, at least."
 
'Well that went better than I thought it would.'
Cole had just finished his first class, whith went suprisingly well. No trouble getting everyone started.
It was now 4:00 and the ball was in two hours. Cole was already in what he was goin to wear so he dicided to go early and help out with the set up.
When he reached the ballroom it was empty. He was the first one there. He walked around a bit remembering the last time he had been inside this place. Then a voice called from another side of the room.
"You were the last person I expected to be here first."
Cid came into the ballroom from a door on the opposite side.
"Well I had nothing else to do so I decided to help."
"Well it seems your first day instructing went well."
"Yes it did. Oh and by the way, have you seen Xu around anywhere. I need to appolgized to her for how I've been acting the past few weeks."
"No I haven't. Sorry. How about Quistis? You two had time to talk. how did it go?"
"Things are still a bit awkward."
Just then people began to enter the ballroom with decorations and food.
Cole turned back to Cid and said, "Well I guess it's time to get to work."
 
Evan and his date sarah (the fan girl) walked into the hall and saw the decorations were ready and the tables were set
Evan: "well then, shall we find a table?"
Sarah: "i wanna sit at that one. the one next to headmaster Cid's"
evan looked at the table next to cid's and smiled
Evan: "me and Cid ain the best of friends at the moment"
Sarah: "you can't stay angry at him forever"
Evan: "im not angry at him"
Sarah: "so why wont you sit near him"
Evan: "because now that i only have one GF, my emotions can be affected by how the GF feels."
Sarah: "so?"
Evan: "well after Cid trapped Diablo in a magical lamp. Diablo has kinda hated cid so i might get angry and try to kill him"
Sarah: "then i'll stop you, i wont let you hurt my Uncle"
evan was dragged towards the table that cid was on and stood and watched as sarah stood and hugged Cid
Sarah: "hey Uncle cid"
Cid: "hello sarah, who is your..."
Evan: *nods his head* "Sir"
Cid smiled and looked at evan
Cid: "Ex-Instuctor evan"
Evan: "i am just a regular Seed member, Sir"
Cid: "stop with the formallity when your escorting my Neece to a Ball"
Evan: "with all due respect sir i'll stick to the formallity"
Sarah: "evan! behave"
evan took a seat on the table next to Cid's and sarah sat down next to him
 
After dealing with the T-Rexaurs, Arthvader realized that it was 4 P.M..

'Oh shoot. I better get myself ready.'

He quickly left the training grounds and headed towards his dorm room. Once there, he took a quick shower, then put on his new SeeD uniform.

'There, that feels better. better head towards the hall.'

He then started heading towards the hall. When he arrived, Arthvader went to ask Headmaster Cid a serious question about what happened earlier in the training grounds.

Arthvader "Headmaster, I need to inform you about what just happened at the training grounds earlier today. As you see, during my training session, a group of T-Rexaurs suddenly attacked me and Evan. You can even ask Evan, as he was also there when they attacked. Cid, As headmaster, can you advise the garden about this situation?"
 
evan herd arthvader's conversation with Cid and waked over to them
Evan: "arth it doesn't matter it's taken care of"
Cid: "what is?"
Evan: "there was a pregnant T-rexaur in the traning area"
Cid: "evan i dobt even you and diablo could take on a nest of t-rexaur's and the pregnant female, with an injured arm"
Cid pointed at evans bandaged arm from were the female bit him
Evan: "no i didn't i had help from one of the garden masters. and just so you know this was done by the female T-rexaur"
evan walked back ove to sarah when he noticed the music had started to play, sarah lept up and walked towards evan, grabbed him, then changed direction towards the dance floor
Sarah: "cummon evan it's time to dance"
Evan: "but...wait...i"
before evan knew what sarah was doin she had him in the middle of the dance floor teaching him how to dance
 
"Hmm, maybe it's just me then." Enigma was set back by Jimmy's response, he was sure other people must have been noticing odd occurances. He chose to ignore the comment about no date; more food for him.
"I'm gonna head down there now. I wanna get a good seat so I can watch Evan try not to hit Cid."

With a cool backhand wave, Enigma left the dorm and froze on the spot. Directly ahead of him was the usually glorious fountain. It had been near-on destroyed. The water had stopped running and the beautifully carved statues in the fountain were now rubble.
"What the fuck is going on! Now I know I'm not crazy!"

He looked round frantically for a Garden Master, Cid, anyone of any kind of authority. Seemingly, they were all at the ball. There was nothing Enigma could do. Whoever, or whatever, had done this was now long gone.
"Shit, there's nothing I can do." Somewhat dejected, Enigma made his way to the ball, hoping to find some answers, and fast.
 
As Al & Lucy got there, they realozed that there where not many there.
Just a few people that where fixing the rest of the decorations, Cid. and a few others, taht had arrived.

"Lets get a table, before it gets taken" Lucy stared as she dragged Al towards a nearby table.
"umm.. shure" Al said, there where really not mutch he could say, in reality, he was hopeless with the female gender.


As the music started, Al noticed taht evan where dragged out on the dance floor.
Al jsut sat there. enjoing the show.

"poor dude" Al though ti himself, with a small smirk.

"Al. Come" he heard from behind.
"umm. huh" he somehwat asked by tilting his head backwards to see Lucy standing behind him..

"we are going to dance" she said, while she started dragging him on the floor
"but... but.. but.. I cant dance" he said in desperation.

he somehow felt that Evan was smirking at Al, just as he was doing a second ago. in retaliation if you like.

They where at the dance floor. time seemed to stand still.
"oooh... fuuuuck" was all that whent through Al's head
"dont worry, Ill lead" Lucy said, starting to move.

Al, not quite ready yet. though, he would most likley never get ready for this. however, Al, not ready yet. was dragged to his right, while not pauying attention.
Tripping in his own legs, and heading towards Lucy.

*THUMP*
There they lied. Al crashed untop of Lucy.....

"fuuuuck" was al taht Al could way as he got off Lucy.
"sorry bout that" he tried to joke away.
"its ok. comon, one more time" Lucy had already gotten back up, nad where trying for another dance..

starting the learning period again.
 
Cole stood by the door watching people begin to jump onto the dance floor. Some were quite clumsy on their way out there. At least five couples fell over just getting out of their seats. Others though were light on their feet. They worked so well together one almost forgot that it was two sepparate people.
'Where do they learn how to do that?'
Just then, someone caught hold of his arm and pulled him away from the wall. Cole almost fell over like the others he saw earlier.
"Cid told me you had something you wanted to tell me."
It was Xu. She dragged him onto the dance floor just before the next song began. She had trapped him. He had to go through with it no more holding off. They got in position and began dancing with the music.
"Yes I did. I needed to appologize to you for being such an ass to you fo the past few weeks."
"Hehe. You have no reason toworry about that. I've gotten used to you being like that. Plus it isn't me who you should be apologizing to."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah, you did upset some of our new SeeDs. But you have time to make it up to them. Right now you should concentrate on dancing before yo bump into someone."
Her face formed into a big smile. They continued to dance for a few moments before Cole spoke up again.
"So you really refused to join in the bet on me?"
"Not really," she replied. her smile grew even larger. "Quistis just picked the date I was going to."
They both let out a laugh as they continued dancing.
 
It was getting time for the party, Jimmy was in his dorm checking if he looked good enough in front of the mirror he had put on his best suit along with his favourite tie, he sure was looking good plus the AXE deoderant would probably make every girl at the ball to come crawling at his feet.

Jimmy thought it might have been a good thing that Xu had not accepted his invitation to the ball because now she would see him hotter than ever and would probably hate herself for a few months.

It was time to go meet Sarah the librarian at her dorm, Jimmy bought a rose to give to her it would be a pretty gesture and with luck she might give him a kiss or two to return the present. With a huge smile on his face Jimmy went to her dorm and knocked on the door.

Sarah:"Just a minute!!!! I'm almost ready..."

And then she came out and she looked better then Jimmy could imagine, she had a beatiful night dress and a tiara on her head she looked like a true princess, she did not had a trashy or slutty dress on the contrary it was perfect.

As hard as Jimmy wanted to say something intelligent he could not, he just kept thinking how lucky he was to have such a beatiful girl come with him to the ball, and then she finally spoke to him.

Sarah:"You look really good Jimmy, i'm impressed! Humm...is that flower for me?"

Still perplexed he said the first thought that crossed his mind.

"Pretty...i...i mean i don't look as half as good as you Sarah, you're beatiful i mean really. Hummm...yeah this flower is for you sorry if...it was kind of inappropriate."

Sarah smiled at Jimmy...

Sarah:"On the contrary i love roses it was sweet of you. Thanks!"

She gave Jimmy a kiss on the cheek sending him straight up into the clouds.

Sarah:"Well then shall we go? The ball as already started."

And so they both went to the ball room, the place was starting to get full and most tables were already occupied. Sarah then spotted Al and sense they were almost dorm neighbors they went to sit with them.
 
Beccalyn envied her lovely room mate. Luana could go through anything and still find some time for fun. It wasn't the same with sissy-long-legs. Beccalyn had just ended a three-hour seminar, and the morning before that, an eight mile run. Mentally and physically exhausted, she collapsed in her bed the moment she came back to their dorm.

From the brightly lit bathroom, Luana was busy making herself look more beautiful than she already did. "...Becca, are you sure you don't want to dance tonight? You could even dance with me!"

A lustful grin escaped the girl's lips. Beccalyn always enjoyed the company of her perpetual dance partner. Even if they both were female, the same enchantment they experienced with a male partner, as they swayed their bodies to and fro was still there. On multiple occasions did they find themselves so bewitched by the music and their appearances, Beccalyn could swear that her sexuality had lied to her all these years. Then again, Luana always had that effect on people. She wouldn't be surprised if her room mate returned late tonight with someone else in bed with her.

As long as she shares.

"We've got less than an hour before dinner, at least."

"I can't make it tonight," Beccalyn groaned. As if using the last of her strength to fight gravity, the girl lifted herself up from the bed and slipped on a pair of black ankle high boots. She tamed her bed abused hair as she approached the door. "But I haven't eaten anything yet. I suppose I'll accompany you--" Her legs felt an icy chill, suddenly reminded that the room was always air-conditioned. Frowning at her clumsiness Beccalyn marched back her bed and slipped on her mini-skirt that she left laying there.
 
"How about this," Luana offered, finally slipping on that lovely blue dress, the strings of silver beads clacking against each other quietly. "If you get too tired, I'll bring you back here and tuck you in. Fair enough?"

The lovely SeeD was pouting at herself in the mirror now, using a cotton swab to fix some of her baby-blue eyeshadow, streaked with faint stripes of cerulean. Her lips were a pale shade of rose, though the makeup tonight was meant to bring out her creamy-blue eyes.

The swab was tossed in the trash can. After an extra fluff of her brown locks, Luana finally stepped out of the bathroom, looking more stunning than usual. She made an extra tweak on her dress, making the slits on the side creep up beyond her hips, exposing the thin straps of her silvery g-string beneath the beads, if one would look close enough.

"You ready?" Luana asked her roommate, leaning against the door frame.
 
Evan and sarah were dancing around the floor almost like pro dancers
Sarah: "hey evan how do you know how to dance"
Evan: "my mum used to watch dancing programs alot, i kinda picked it up as the shows went along"
Sarah: "and you glide across the floor"
Evan: "well thats due to the excessive training i do"
Sarah giggled, an decided that they wouldn't dance anymore
Sarah: "i think i ned some fresh air"
Evan: "okay then lets go out onto the balcony"
sarah and evan walked out onto the balcony that looked over the south section of garden, and evan noticed the destroyed fountain
Evan: "sarah stay here"
evan ran into the hall and then over to were master Cid was sat
Evan: "Sir"
Cid: "evan"
Evan: "someone has destroyed one of the fountains sir"
Cid: "i shall deal with it tomoro evan"
Evan: "but sir, what if it is a threat to garden"
Cid: "then the Seed of garden shall protect it"
Evan: "but Sir thats..."
Cid: "evan return to your date and enjoy the rest of this eavning" cid interupted
Evan: "yes sir"
Evan walked back out onto the balcony and looked at sarah
Evan: "have i told you that you look amazing tonight"
Sarah smiled and said "yes you have"
Evan: "wel im teling you again, you lok gorjus tonight"
 
Enigma entered the luxurious hall to see all the decorations, tables and seats had already been laid out, and the ball had already begun.
Cole was dancing with Xu, hopefully Jimmy couldn't see that. He was here with that librarian girl and didn't need any distractions.
Evan was out on the balcony with his date, Sarah, and Cid was casting a watchful eye on her from afar. Clearly weary of Evan, but who could blame him?

The room was packed, and luckily there were a few seats left near Jimmy; undoubtedly left for the SeeD's who took part in the recent mission.
Enigma gingerly pulled out the seat and sat down. Cid managed to tear himself away from spying on Evan and sat next to Enigma.
"Sir, are you aware that the fountain has been completely decimated?" Enigma questioned Cid.
"I don't have time for this Enigma! This just isn't important right now!"
An overreaction to say the least. What the hell was his problem, surely he would want to know about the fountain.
Enigma looked perplexed. If he was concerned about what was going on around the Garden, then why wasn't Cid?
"A great start to the night."
He was in the wrong frame of mind to enjoy the night. Concerned. Bewildered. Dateless.

The surroundings were amazing. The marble floors reflected the dazzling lighting from above. All of the tables were covered with flower arrangements and the partially glass roof boasted the fantastic night sky behind it.
Enigma couldn't help but let out a lonely sigh.
He could only hope that things would improve when Luana and Becca turned up. At least then he would have someone to talk to.
 
OOC: is it just me, or do we have 2 saras here? ^^
----------------
After Al became somewhat.. newbish in dancing, they decided to take a break. For Al's sake.

As they sat down, someone sat down beside them.
It was Jimmy, and Sarah, from one the neighboring dorms.

"Yo Jimmy." Al stated. he was going to comment about he not being with Xu, though, since he had someone else, he decided not to say anything.

"so" Al started. "whats up"
 
After a few songs, Cole and Xu walked off of the dance floor. Xu was hanging from his arm because she was so tired out. They walked over to an empty table and she sat down.
"How about I get us something to drink?" Cole said after Xu had settled in.
"I would love that."
"What will it be? punch, cider-"
"I'll just have some water."
Cole gave her a deep bow and headed off toward the drink table. When he got there Zell was Standing there giving him a big grin.
"Why are you so happy Zell? Did you find an extra gil in your pocket?"
"I see you are hitting it up with Xu. Not that many people have to guts to do that."
"What about your protige'? He seems a bit infatuated with her."
"Ah, Jimmy? Nah. He's just messing around."
"If you say so."
Cole shrugged his shoulders and grabbed a couple bottles of water before heading back to the table.
 
evan turned to face inside the hal and saw Enigma having a conversation with headmaster Cid and he could make out from the movement of Enigma's lips that the Decimated fountain came into the conversation
Evan: "your bloody uncle hate me and i dont know why"
Sarah: "you do know it's probably because of me"
Evan: "no he has hated me since i arived"
Sarah: "exactly, when i herd him talking about your skills as a GF summoner i dispanded from his fan club and created yours"
Evan: "haha, thats just great"
Sarah: "im sorry when i heard you were becomeing an instructor instead of a student i took my Seed exam in the hope that i would get to work with you"
Evan: "oh okay then"
Sarah: "and i never thought i would be comming to this ball with you"
evan noticed a Seed instructor walking over to him and he stod up straight
Evan: "Instructor Kinneas, how can i help you?"
Instructor Kinneas: "wel for a start cal me Irvine"
Evan: "sorry irvine, whats up?"
Irvine: "man you must be crazy coz thats cid's neece and i wouldn't have tryed to get her to come with me"
Evan: "wel i didn't know about the relation at the time"
Sarah: "hey you two leave uncle Cid alone"
Irvine and evan looked at sarah
Irvine and evan: "but..."
Sarah: "NO BUTS!!! LEAVE HIM ALONE"
Irvine and evan: "sorry"
Sarah: "you will be"
Cid walked over to the 2 Seed's and the Instructor
Cid: "evan, irvine it has come to my attention that there has been some destruction of garden property, namely the south Quadrant fountain"
Evan: "brought to your attention? it was me who told you"
Cid: "well if the two of you would stop harasing sarah and go 'check it out' for me it would be most appreciated"
Irvine and evan: "now?"
Cid: "yes now"
Irvine: "but Sir the ball"
Cid: "go both of you"
Evan: "all this to stop me talking with your Neece?"
Cid: "not at all, im also trying to stop you seeing her"
evan walked over to Sarah and kissed her, he then handed her a piece of paper
Evan: "this is my cell fone number text me"
evan and irvine walked out of the ball room and into the elavator and down to the ground floor to beging their investagation
 
the the dance goes on, Arthvader stayed by a wall, watching the others dance on through the night. He just wished that someone will come by and ask him for a dance.

'It would be nice if I could have a dance partner. It feels lonely without being with anyone. *sigh*'
 
"...but the Cunning Cactaurs fan dropped the bottle over the bridge and said, 'Nah, I'll wait 'til the cops get here!'"

Chuckling at her own joke, Luana finally walked into the ballroom with her roommate. It took a few moments before she looked around the massive room. With people dancing already, it made her feel like she was more than just a few minutes late.

"Huh...thought there was supposed to be dinner before the dancing...or is it dinner and a show? ...why am I talking to myself?"
 
Evan and Irvine were walking around the decimated fountain looking for some clue as to who demolished it when evan noticed a fight going on betwen Instructor Squall and seifer,
Evan: "irvine look , over there"
Irvine: "SEIFER!! i bet thtas who is causing the destruction around garden"
Evan: "yea but why is he back"
 
Jimmy was talking with Al and Enigma when he noticed Cole giving a drink to Xu...

"(Grr...look at that idiot he thinks he is better than me well i'll show him what a great dancer i am!!!!!!!!!!!!!)" Jimmy thought to himself.

He got up and asked Sarah if she would like to come and dance with him, she accepted and they both went to the dancefloor...

"Let's show them the true meaning of dancing!!!"

A circle formed around Jimmy and Sarah, and he started to breakdance in front of everyone.

"GO!GO!GO!GO!"

The crowd screamed for Jimmy to continue...
