Cloud: Whew, that was a close one, Zell.
Zell: Just think, we were almost banned to eExile Island.
Cloud: Well, at least we aren't there. I ALMOST feel sorry for Sephiroth. I did say almost, right?
Zell: Right.
Cloud: Good. So what do we do now?
Zell: I dunno. Hey, I was thinking, good thing we didn't get sent to Exile Island, because tonight's poker night.
Cloud: Oh yeah. Let's see, how much money do you have?
Zell: 50 gil.
Cloud: So do I. So altogether we have a 100 gil.
Zell: You know, last poker night, we lost all of our money. How do you plan getting our 1000 gil back from Rufus and Tseng? 'Cause I think they cheat. Last time they got us so drunk that we frogot there were 4 aces, not five.
Cloud: I know. This time, I've gotta plan.
Zell: What?
Cloud: heh heh, I do say, this plan might actually work. Well, when I serve the beer, I'll slip some of this in their's. *throws Zell a bottle of anesthesia*
Zell: How is knocking them out cold gonna get our money back?
Cloud: Well once they are asleep, we'll steal all of their money.
Zell: Cloud, WAKE UP! They will be in YOUR house when THEY wake up. They'll kick the crap outta you until you give them back your money.
Cloud:Ah, good point, but once they are out cold, we'll just drive them back to one of their houses and set them in the living room with their T.V. on and put a buncha empty beer bottles around so they'll think they just were watching T.V. and passed out by drinking a lot of beer.
Zell: But won't they remember they were playing poker?
Cloud: Not if I put some of this memory suppressant in with the beer.
*holds up a small bottle of a special potion*
Zell: Well, they'll for sure notice their money's gone.
Cloud: Oh well. The main thing is that they won't know it was US that stole it from them!
Zell: Okay sounds good to me. Hey maybe we should get it set up, it's almost time!
Cloud: Already? Hey, you're right. I guess it's just been a long day.
Zell: Okay. Let's go, poker partner.
Cloud: Right.
*they somehow go to Cloud's house*
Cloud: Hang on, let me unlock the door.
*fumbles with his two keys, trying to figure out the key to his house, eventhough it's plainly marked "HOUSE KEY"* Ah ha!! I found it!! *after 10 minutes* *Cloud holds the key up in victory* *Unlocks the door and goes into his house*
Come on in Zell!
Zell: *Walks into the house* How come it's so clean in here?
Cloud: I dunno. You know what's weird? I never clean my house, but it's always clean.
Zell: That's very strange.
*they both walk into the kitchen*
Cloud: Here are the glasses, four of them.
Zell: *picks up a box* And here's the beer.
Cloud: Okay, just to be on the safe side, I'm pouring sparkling apple cider in OUR cups. So if it doesn't taste apple-y-licious, don't swallow.
Zell: Gotcha.
Cloud: Okay, here's the memory suppressant. We can't put too much in their cups. *pours some into the two empty glasses*
Zell: Here's the anesthesia. *pours all of it into the two glasses*
Cloud: And the beer. *pours some into the two glasses*
Zell: Okay, I'll get the poker table set up.
Cloud: You go do that.
Zell: *goes out to the table and sets it up* whew, that was a lot of work, I think I'll just sit down now...*sits down*
*Door bell rings*
Zell: Oh crap, now I have to get up and answer the door..*opens the door* S'up! Come in.
Rufus: Oh I see you two are ready to LOSE. LOSER.
Tseng: Oh Rufus, don't be that mean just because they suck at poker and like losing their money.
Rufus: Yeah, you're right. They aren't losers, they're just plain out sad. Yeah they're patheta-sad losers!
Tseng: Yeah, that sounds better.
Zell: Normally that would bother me, but I have a good feeling about this game.
Tseng: Oh really.
Rufus: Yeah, don't get too cocky Zell. Remember we suckered you guys out of a 1000 gil!! hahaha.
Zell: *says underbreath* you guys are going to be the ones suckered this time* heheheh.
Tseng: What's so funny?
Zell: oh nothing. Hey, are you guys going to come in or just stand there basking on the last game like to old timers basking in their childhood memories?
Rufus: Okay, Okay.
*All three of them go into the house*
Tseng: Man, Cloud's house is too clean for me.
Rufus: I know, I've seen operating rooms that have more dirt then this place.
Zell: Well, why don't you guys just sit down while we get the beers. *ha ha* *walks into kitchen*
Tseng: Oh, okay...*sits down*
Rufus: Whatever...*sits down*
Tseng: Man, I don't like being in a room so clean. It feels like I'm back at my childhood home. My mom always made me clean the house. Argh, horrible memories.
Rufus: Snap out of flashback mode. That's Cloud's job.
Tseng: Yeah, you're right. I wonder what's with Zell. He keeps giggling like a little girl.
*Cloud and Zell walk out of the kitchen with the drinks* *They set them down on the table* *They both sit down*
Rufus: So you guys ready to lose your gil?
Cloud: We aren't going to lose. *deals cards*
Zell: So would you guys like your drinks?
Rufus: Sure.
Tseng: Ya, why not?
Zell: *hands them their 'special drinks'* *ha ha*
* Rufus and Tseng take one little sip and pass out cold*
Cloud: Damn, how much anesthesia did you put into their cups?
Zell: Half of bottle each?
Cloud: *shakes head* Well at least they are out cold.
Zell: I always thought it was poisonous to DRINK anethesia.
Cloud: OH well, it worked, didn't it?
Zell: Yeah, I guess you're right...
Cloud: Okay, you take 500 gil from Tseng and I'll take 500 gil from Rufus.
*Cloud and Zell go over to them and steal their money*
Cloud: Good. Now we have to load them up in my car.
* Cloud drags Rufus and Zell drags Tseng to Cloud's car and they shove them in the back*
Cloud: Okay, good. Let's go!
* They drive to Tseng's house and drag Rufus and Tseng to the door*
Zell: Won't Rufus notice that his white clothes will be all dirty because we've been dragging them through the dirt?
Cloud: Na... Now how to opean this damn door... *kicks door in*
Zell Um Cloud, won't they notice the door's kicked in?
Cloud: Yeah, but then they will think someone broke in and stole 1000 gil from them.
Zell: I guess...
* Cloud and Zell drag Rufus and Tseng into the living room and throw them onto the couch*
Cloud: There. All we need now are the empty beer bottles and the TV to be turned on. I'll turn the TV on and you get the bag of beer bottles out of my car and dump them in here and spread them all around.
Zell: Okay, I'm on it. *runs to the car*
Cloud: *goes over to the TV and turns it on*
Zell: *returns with the bag and dumps the bottles out and spreads them around* Come on!! Let's go!
*Zell and Cloud run out of the house and drive back to Cloud's house* *Cloud and Zell arrive at Cloud's house*
Zell: *jumps out of car and does a few front flip and jumps around* YAY!! WE GOT OUR MONEY BACK!!! YAY!!!!!
Cloud: Yeah, it's good we got our money back but you don't have to be so loud about it.
Zell: Oh sorry. You know what I'm going to do with my money?
Cloud: What?
Zell: I'm fixing up my T-Board!!
Cloud: T-board?
Zell: Yeah, you know, those things that hover and they look like over-sized skate boards with no wheels.
Cloud: Oh Yeah, didn't you get yours confiscated at Balamb Garden?
Zell: Yeah, but I got it back.
Cloud: Well, what's wrong with it?
Zell: Nothing, I'm just detailing it, that's all.
Cloud: Oh, okay.
Zell: Well I can't do it right now, 'cause all of the T-boarding shops are closed for the night. After all, it's 5:01 pm, they'll be closed.
Cloud: Well I know a place that's not closed, let's go to the video arcade to celebrate getting our money back.
Zell: YAY!!!
*They both get into Cloud's car and drive to a near by arcade*
Zell: So what do you wanna play first?
Cloud: Play you air hockey!
Zell: You're on!
*Both run over to the air hockey table* * They start playing* *Zell makes a goal*
Zell: Oh yeah!! In you're face!!
Cloud: We'll see about that.
*Selphie walks over and starts watching them*
Zell: What do YOU want, Selphie?
Selphie: Can't I just watch?
Zell: Why do you have to watch us?
Selphie: Why are we talking in questions?
Zell: Why don't you ask yourself?
Cloud: *makes a goal* HA in YOUR face. hahahaha.
Zell: See Selphie, you made me lose concentration. It's all your FAULT!!!
Selphie: Well, sor-ray! I just came over to tell you guys about a party.
*Cloud and Zell both stop playing*
Cloud: A Party?
Selphie: Well, it isn't my party, but they told me to tell you guys about it.
Zell: Who's Party?
Selphie: actually I'm not sure, it's at this club and you two are invited. But you have to bring dates, or if worse comes to worse *looks at Zell*, just bring somebody, a friend. Okay? Also they are having a contest thing.
Cloud: What kinda contest?
Selphie: A dancing contest. But it's strange.
Zell: How can a dancing contest be 'strange'?
Selphie: Well, the staff members will randomly select one girl and one guy from the guest list and make them dance together. If they do a half way decent job, they get a 100,000 gil to split. But if they refuse to dance together, the staff will pick two other people. Only one couple will win the money.
Cloud: A 100,000 gil to dance with a chick that probably hates you anyways, sounds like fun!
Zell: I'm in.
Selphie: So I can put you two on the guest list?
Cloud: Yeah.
Zell: Yup.
Selphie: Okay then, the party's in a week. See ya then. *Walks away*
Zell: That sounds like one strange party.
Cloud: Yeah. It sounds like they are just daring two people to dance together for a whole lotta money. So who are you going to take *hahahahahahahaha*
Zell: Hey what's so funny?!?
Ha, I doubt any girl in her right mind would go to the party with you.
Zell: You're no prince charming yourself.
Cloud: I bet you won't be able to get a girl to go with you!
Zell: Oh yeah, Fine, I bet 500 gil that I can get Holly Fine to go with me!
Cloud: HA HA, you mean Ms. Holly 'always says no to everything and hates everybody' Fine!
Zell: what do you mean?
Cloud: letsee
*!!!flash back mode alert!!!******************************
Cloud: Holly, do you wanna go out?
Holly: HELL NO!
*a week later....*
Cloud: Holly..
Holly: NO!! HELL F***** NO!!!
Cloud: You didn't let me finish...
Holly: NO! LEAVE ME ALONE!!!
*!!!END OF FLASHBACK!!!*****************************
Cloud: See, she's one hard chick.
Zell: Just because she turned you down after you kept pestering her doesn't mean crap. I bet you I can!! Shake on it?
Cloud: Put it here, the easiest 500 gil I've ever made, even easier than stealing it from Rufus!! *Shakes Zell's hand*
Zell: We'll see about that!
