THE ZELL DINCHT COLLECTION

WARNINGS

1) I do not own Zell, Squall, Rinoa, Irvine, Seifer, Selphie, Irvine, Quistis, or any other character I may mention from the FF8 series. I may add some more characters, which are mine. If you steal them, I probably won't find out about it. I also do not own most of the towns, monsters, etc… used in this story.

2) This was written cause Zell is the coolest character ever to be created in the FF series. It's rated NC-17 mostly for sex, but it also contains some language and violence.

3) This is a yaoi story. If you are offended by yaoi, or don't know what it is, I suggest you leave. You have been warned.

Ok think I got everything. Just read it and leave me some feedback. If you flame me I'll find it funny, so do whatever the hell makes you feel good.

CHAPTER 4: A Good End To a Bad Beginning

It was another long walk back to Balamb Garden. T-board in his dorm, Zell again had to trudge the half hour walk back to school, this time with a half-ton suitcase. Not fun. Zell wasn't in the best mood anyway. He suddenly had two crushes. One Puma, and two Zoe. From the kiss Zoe gave him, Zell had a pants problem for the first five minutes of the trip "Down Boy! Down!" By far the worst thought in his mind was that if his mother found out what spank the monkey meant. "At least she won't find that in a dictionary." Depressed, but with hope, Zell walked all the way back to the Garden. As he was reaching the fountains, the sun began to set over the Fire Cavern. Dark oranges and purples filled the sky. Approaching 7:00, Zell noticed that the Garden had changed considerably. Classes were over by 5:00, so everybody was out socializing. Pushing his way through the mobs, Zell made his way to his dorm, and noticed Selphie waiting outside his door.

"Zell where did you go?" she questioned as he approached.

"Forgot to pack," Zell muttered swiping his ID card to unlock his room. Throwing his suitcase down on the bed, Zell returned to the living room. He turned on the TV, threw himself onto the couch. Selphie followed, and sat down on the adjacent chair.

"You ready for tonight?"

Zell broke his TV gaze, and looked at Selphie. "What's tonight?"

"I knew you'd forget. You're lucky that you came home when you did."

"Why what's happening?"

"You were always the forgetful type. Remember that time when we went to the Zoo. We were going to swim with the dolphins, and I told you to bring your swimming trunks, but did you bring them? Nooooo! And remember that time when…"

"Selphie just tell me what the hell is going on tonight!"

"Not until you admit you're wrong." Zell flipped off the TV, and abandoned Selphie in his room. He went over and knocked on Squall's door, who eventually opened it.

"Squall what's going on tonight?"

"SeeD dance in the Quad………8:00."

"Thanks man!" Squall just nodded and shut the door. Zell turned to Selphie who was still sitting in his room. "THAT WASN'T DIFFICULT! WAS IT?" he yelled. Everyone in the hallway stopped to look at him, and the blonde blushed before walking back into his room

"Tch………" Zell pushed Selphie out, and closed the door. "Shit! Zelly almost forgot. I really need to start writing this stuff down." The blonde just shrugged it off, and started to unpack. At 7:45, he changed into his SeeD outfit, and started heading towards the Quad. There were only a few hundred people there. It was most of SeeD, but some were on missions, and others didn't feel like coming. This was slightly less formal then the SeeD party held after the field exam, but still mandatory uniform. A DJ booth was in the far right corner with huge speaker, making sure the whole Quad was musically entertained. A large buffet table was right in front of the stage, and tables circled in a U pattern around it. Zell caught sight of Squall sitting alone at one of the outer tables, and decided to join him.

"What's up man?" Zell exclaimed taking a seat beside him. Squall acknowledged his appearance with a nod, but said nothing. "What's you plans for tonight? Gonna find you a nice woman?"

"…Maybe," muttered Squall taking another sip of his wine. Zell caught Nida out of the corner of his eye, and motioned for him to sit with them.

"Hey man," Zell smiled, leaning back in his chair.

"Hey. Did you see the buffet over there? Sweet."

"Yeah I'm stealing over there here soon," Zell nodded hungrily. "So what's up man?"

"Eh………I'm bored. I'm tired of this hall duty. Where are those great SeeD adventures we had to memorize last year?

"This year," Squall mumbled. Zell and Nida looked over at Squall, surprised the silent brunette decided to join in on the conversation. "They usually give you a year to get adjusted to the school, and then send you out places."

"Ah………yeah October marks our first year anniversary in SeeD," Zell agreed. He spotted Selphie out of the corner of his eye. "Damnit"

"Hey guys," came the cheery Brunette. "Who wants to dance with me?" She looked first at Squall, but that was a hopeless case. Next, she came to Nida.

"Nida?"

"No………um I'm going to go to the buffet real quick. I'll dance later." Her eyes thus fell upon Zell.

"Damn, Nida stole my excuse." Zell tried to think of another one quick "I can't because …cause…" That was too much of a delay for Selphie though. She grabbed ahold of Zell, and dragged him to the dance floor.

"This is Bahamuse, your W A V E DJ. Ladies get your men to the floor, cause next up we got the newest single from Dragon's Heart, this is YYYYYYEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLOOOOOWWWW!

Zell attempted to escape from Selphie's grasp, but to no avail. She dragged him to right in front of the DJ booth.

"Zell! You're going to dance with me whether you like it or not," Pulling his arm away Zell shifted his weight from one leg to the other, causing him to sway. It was considered dancing to Zell's standards, but not to Selphie's.

>"Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you."

>"And everything you do. Yeah, they were all yellow."

>"I came along. I wrote a song for you."

>"And all the things you do. And it was called Yellow."

"You're not even trying!" Selphie whined, grabbing his arms. "This hand goes here, and this one goes here!"

"Do they go anywhere else?" Zell laughed, reluctantly following her lead.

"ZELL!"

>"So then I took my turn. Oh what a thing to have done."

>"And it was all Yellow."

>"Your skin, Oh yeah, your skin and bones."

>"Turn into something beautiful."

>"You know, you know I love you so. You know I love you so."

"Zell, if you step on my foot one more time," Selphie threatened. "And your hand doesn't go that low!" Zell just snickered. He looked back to Nida who was almost on the floor laughing. Squall even smirked.

>"I swam across. I jumped across for you."

>"Oh what a thing to do. Cause you were all Yellow"

>"I drew a line. I drew a line for you."

>"Oh what a thing to do. And it was all Yellow."

"ZELL!" Selphie yelled. "Dip Me! Zell Dip Me!"

"NO! I'M NOT MAKING AN ASS OUT OF MYSELF," he responded. Selphie kneed him in the stomach in retaliation. "Ugh…" he leaned over grabbing his stomach, and Selphie dipped herself gracefully.

>"Your skin, Oh yeah your skin and bones."

>"Turn into something beautiful. And you know for you."

>"I'd bleed myself dry for you. I'd bleed myself dry."

>"It's true, look how they shine for you. Look how they shine for you."

>"Look how they shine for. Look how they shine for you."

>"Look how they shine for you. Look how they shine."

>"Look at the stars. Look how they shine for you."

>"And all the things that you do."

The song ended, and Zell limped back to the table. Selphie gracefully sat down and started to eye Nida.

"Nida, the dominatrix is ready to see you," Zell mocked still holding onto his stomach. The group laughed, and the rest of the night was pretty uneventful. Zell was pleased. Nobody called him Mesmerouse the entire time he was there, and he was able to get drunk off of his ass. Good times; good friends. The blonde got to bed late, and fell into a deep sleep.

(**********)

He woke up the next morning with a knock on the door. Looking at his clock, it was 10:00. "What do you want?" he whined. "Do you know what time it is?" Zell had a bad headache, and didn't feel very social right now.

"It's Selphie." Today's the big day!"
