The Good Ol' Days 3
"Everybody ready?" Zell asked, they all nodded so he pushed the play button, "Alright, time to sit back, relax, and enjoy the show."
"Shaddap already, chicken-wuss!" Seifer called out
"Matron! He's making fun of me!" Zell pouted
"Apologize Seifer, or you're not getting any popcorn." Edea ordered
"Aw, do I hafta?" Seifer protested, causing everyone to laugh.

"Alright children, stay together, I don't want to lose any of …you?" Edea turned around after just stepping in the local grocery store and found that everyone ran off, leaving a bewildered Cid behind.
"How do they do that?" he asked
Edea sighed, "Ok, you go to the candy section, and I'll go to the snacks one, they'll most likely be there."
"Alright." Cid answered and started his trek, he saw a glimpse of yellow run pass him, "I found Selphie, now let's see if I can catch her…" he mumbled. After trying to jog after the hyper little girl, he gave up, seeing as he wasn't in his best shape, "I'm getting too old for this, Selphie! Get back here this instant!"
"Uncle Cid! I thought we was pwayin tag!" she pouted, "You suppose ta catch me!"
"Now's not the time for playing, you shouldn't run off like that, you worry Matron and me, where are the others?"
"I dunno," Selphie shook her head side to side, "I jus wanted some candies!"
"Maybe we can get some candy later, we have to find everyone else first." Cid took her little hand and went off to find Edea.
"Can I gets all the colorful kinds?" Selphie jumped up and down
"If you be a good girl…"
"I see Quisty an' Irvy." Selphie pointed to the arguing duo
"Let's go Irvy, Matwan's waitin for us!" Quistis pulled on Irvine's arm
"B-but I wanna talk ta that pretty girl." Irvine whined
Quistis huffed, "You always wanna talk to pretty girls, an' you think all girls are pretty. Now com'on, we're gonna get in trouble."
Irvine sulked, but he brightened up a bit when he saw Cid and Selphie, "See, Uncle Cid an' Seffie are here, there's no need ta worry, now lemme talk ta the pretty girl!"
"Quistis hold on to him, you sir, are not going anywhere." Cid instructed "We still need
to find Ellone, Squall, Seifer, and-" Cid got cut off when they heard glass shattering and loud shouting, "Never mind, I think we found them."
To everyone's surprise, they found Squall fighting with another boy, Ellone was trying to split them up, but to no avail.
"Squally!" Selphie exclaimed, "What'cha doin?"
Cid pulled the two apart, the other boy then ran off, not wanting to put up with an angry looking Cid. Ellone hugged Squall, "Are you ok? Are you hurt?" she asked worried
"Nah, I'm fine sis…" he replied
"Squall, why were you fighting that boy?" Cid asked
"He was being mean to Elly!" Squall answered
"It wasn't Squally's fault Uncle Cid." Ellone told him
"Ok, ok, are you sure you're alright Squall?"
Squall nodded. "Good, let's hope Seifer and Zell aren't causing trouble." Cid grimaced
Just then Edea rushed towards them, "Oh thank Hyne everyone's ok!" she sighed in relief and hugged each one of her children, "Don't any of you ever run off again! Where're Seifer and Zell?"
"We still need to find them." Quistis informed her
"Com'on, jus a lil' closer…" they heard Seifer say
"Why do I hafta be at the bottom, I'm lighter…" Zell's voice whined
"Do you want these or not? A lil' higher…"
Edea, Cid, and the rest of the children looked into the aisle and saw Seifer standing on Zell, trying to reach a bag of "Chocobo Bits" the new snack that all kids were crazy for.
"Oooh! Chocobo Bits! I want some!" Selphie giggled
"Get your own." Seifer said defensively, hugging the bag
"You're too heavy!" Zell shouted as they began toppling, quickly Seifer grabbed onto the shelf to hold himself up but instead he pulled all the items to the floor as they fell making a huge mess.
"Oops…"
Edea quickly hurried over and clawed at the big pile and tried to free Zell. "Zell! Are you ok?" Edea gasped and picked up the bruised blonde
"He'll be ok." Seifer stated as he whacked Zell on the head
"Hey!" Zell cried and tackled Seifer
"Uh oh…Where did Seffie go?" Ellone asked suddenly
"CANDIES!!!"
"Selphie, NO!" Cid yelled and ran after her
Since everyone was bring distracted, no one noticed Irvine slip away…
"Um…hi." Irvine said shyly to the girl he saw earlier
She giggled, "Hi."
"My name's Irv-" he got cut off when Seifer came in and pushed him away
"I'm Seifer." He beamed
"Hey! I saw her first!" Irvine pushed Seifer back
"I think I hear Matwan callin you." Seifer gritted through his teeth
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"I know you are, but what am I?" Irvine retorted
"That's it! I'm kicking your butt!" Seifer shouted and charged at Irvine
The little girl who witnessed all this was frightened and ran back to her mom.
"Hey! Quit it!" Quistis yelled at the top of her lungs
"Where'd she go?" Irvine asked
"You two monkey heads scared her away! Can't you guys stay outta trouble for a minute? Besides, you don't know anything about girls." She replied
"Aw, go read a dictionary Quisty." Seifer snapped
"Hey, don't talk to Quisty like that." Irvine nudged Seifer
"Well if you like her so much, why don't you marry her?" he teased back
"No way! She's yours!"
"Nuh uh! You can have her!"
"I don't wan her!"
"Yea, ya do!"
"Nuh uh!"
"Yuh huh!"
Quistis stormed off angrily, "Ugh! Boys!"
*****
"Haha! That's priceless!" Seifer laughed
"I wonder if that girl's still cute." Irvine remarked
"You two are so hopeless." Quistis shook her head
"You're just mad cuz you were rejected!" Seifer laughed harder
"I hardly call that rejection, you two were immature and dim-witted, and now thirteen years later, you still are." Quistis stuck her tongue out
"Ouch." Irvine joked
"Aww, Squall! You were fighting for Elly! How absolutely adorable!" Rinoa beamed
"It-it's nothing…" Squall nervously scratched his head
"Well Headmaster Cid, looks like I gave you quite a workout that day." Selphie giggled
"Yes, I'd say you guys will be the death of me." chuckled Cid
"But you guys love us anyway." Zell piped in
"Don't count on it." Edea grinned
"Heh, don't count on it- you're joking…right?" Zell asked hopefully
Edea and Cid sat amused while everyone protested and argued about who was the better of them all.
"Pssh, everyone knows I'm the best." Seifer remarked
"I'm the ladies' man and the best looking." Irvine commented himself
"My Squall's cuter than both of you." Rinoa shouted victoriously
"Erm…" Squall mumbled
"Right, right…puberty, horse boy." Seifer muttered
"What did you call me?!" Squall seized Seifer and started fighting
"Gee Zell, looks like you have competition to beating Seifer up for calling you names." Selphie said thoughtfully
"Sure, Selph, whatever you say." Zell gave her an odd look and walked to the other side of the room
"Hey! Don't you walk away from me! I'm talking to you mister!" Selphie called after him
"So in conclusion…I'm the best." Quistis smirked
