You’d Like… A Holiday


( Everyone is watching TV in the Peanut Gallery house, Shi’Iana looking like she’s a simmering soup with Laguna’s arm about her ( she's still upset over the death of her dog, poor thing ), Sephiroth, Jac’Kee, Irvine and Mell’Esia are chomping on chocobo chips, Lucrecia snuggled against Vincent while D’Brah is curled against Laguna. Jha’Meia walks in on the cosy scene )

Jha’Meia : My, my, look! Okay, everybody, pack up!!

Sephiroth : Where’re we going to?

Jha’Meia : I decided that we’ll give Shi’Iana a break… we’re going to Costa Del Sol-

( Wheeeummm! )

Jha’Meia : •_•

( Foosh!! )
( Everyone is standing at the door, bags ready )

Jha’Meia : •_•

Laguna #1 : Well?

Sephiroth : I’ll get the Land Rover

D’Brah : Since when did we get a Land Rover?

Sephiroth : Dunno.

LATER…
Vincent : Look! There’s Cloud Strife and other members of Avalanche!

Shi’Iana : Hey, cool! Anyone see Aeris anywhere?

Lucrecia : Remember the time we came here to Costa Del Sol, Vincent? It was soooo romantic…

Jha’Meia : ( cringes before a scene can occur ) Yes, yes, yes, you can go already!!

Lucrecia and Vincent : ( disappear... and pretty quickly too )

Cloud : Hey look! It’s… the villain of the game.

Sephiroth : ( grinned madly ) Not happy to see me, Strife?

Cloud : Hell, no.

Shi’Iana : WHY did you include him HERE??

Jha’Meia : WELL… Lookie! There’s Hojo! Right on time, too!

Sephiroth : Right on time? Sorry?

Hojo : HEL-LO, my dear ramble writer! You would NEVER believe what great profit I’ve been making!!

Shi’Iana : With what?

Hojo : Why, my new restaurant, of course!

D’Brah : You have a new restaurant? Cool! Errrm… selling what?

Jha’Meia : Test-tube stuff.

Shi’Iana & D’Brah : YUCK!

Jac’Kee and Mell’Esia : ( wink knowingly at Jha’Meia )

Hojo : ( pats Jha’Meia’s hand affectionately ) Come along, m’dear. I’ve got so much to show you!!

Laguna #2 : Will you look at that?

Irvine : It’s QUISTIS!

Jac’Kee : Womanizer.

Irvine : Am not.

Jac’Kee : Are too.

Irvine : Am NOT!

Jac’Kee : Prove it.

Irvine : Oka- ( turns and sees: ) SELPHIE!!

Mell’Esia : What a revelation.

Tifa : ( heard from a good distance away ) STAY AWAY FROM ME, CLOUD!! ( whirls away huffily )

Cloud : Damn. Shouldn’t have said that.

Zack : You always did have this problem with girls, Cloud.

Everyone : ZACK??

Shi’Iana : What’re YOU doing here?

Zack : Looking for an available girl. ( Looks crestfallen ) Aeris doesn’t like me so much anymore.

Cloud : Nor me, either.

Sephiroth : ( smirks )

Zack : Hey, any of you girls available?

D’Brah : I know I’m not. ( looks around ) Hey, where’s Laguna?

Shi’Iana : And Laguna?

Jac’Kee : ( gesticulates vaguely ) Somewhere.

Mell’Esia : Said something about Raine and Julia.

Shi’Iana : BUT-

Zack : That means you’re available! Wanna go on a double date with us?

D’Brah : YOU AND CLOUD???

Cloud : What’s wrong?

Irvine : It’s not nice to just reject a guy like that, you know…

Sephiroth : I mean… guys have feelings too…

Cloud : Look who’s talking.

Sephiroth : ( smirks again )

Cloud : What’re YOU doing here, anyway?

Sephiroth : ( grins broadly as Mell’Esia takes his arm ) What say we go look for that friend of yours, Irvine?

Irvine : Good idea! C’mon, Jac!

Jac’Kee : Sure!

Shi’Iana : But…

D’Brah : But…

Cloud : But what?

Shi’Iana & D’Brah : YOU CAN’T LEAVE US THIS WAY!!

Mell’Esia : (turning back ) Sure we can! We just did!

Jac’Kee : We’re going to have the best time!

Irvine : You bet, honey-love-of-my-heart!

Shi’Iana & D’Brah : ………

Zack : So… want a drink?

Shi’Iana : Make that several.

SEVERAL DRINKS LATER… ……..
( At a bar )

Cloud and Zack : Hilly-hi!

Shi’Iana and D’Brah : Hilly-ho!!

Zack : This brandy’s really good.

Shi’Iana : I’ll say.

AT THE BEACH

Sephiroth : Hmm… we passed by Tifa and Rude… Reno and Selphie… but still no Zell and Aeris. Wonder what happened to the two of them?

( Everyone stops )

Irvine : Am I seeing things? Is that a naked girl on the beach? The guy looks familiar...

Mell’Esia : That’s Zell!!

Jac’Kee : A naked Zell.

Mell’Esia : I like his physique!

Jac’Kee : Yeah, which part?

Irvine : Uh, guys, that’s not Aeris on the beach naked.

Sephiroth : Who cares. She still looks good.

Irvine : It’s… it’s…. ( starts  trembling ) QUISTIS! ( sobs ) How come the chicken-wuss gets her??

( Marron and Mirufiru come strolling by )

Marron : Hey! What’re you doing?

Jac’Kee : What’re you doing with HIM?

Marron : None of your business.

Mirufiru : Care to join us?

Mell’Esia : ( looks at Sephiroth and Irvine absorbed in watching Zell and Quistis make out on the beach ) Sure.

Jac’Kee : Let’s go for a drink! I’m thirsty!

( The four of them leave. Irvine and Sephiroth finally snap out of it )

Irvine : Where’d the girls go?

Sephiroth : Dammit. Now what do we do?? Well well…

Irvine : What is it?

Sephiroth : C’mon! ( runs to an open-air restaurant )

Irvine : Who’s that in leather?

Sephiroth : ( calls out musically ) Oh, Cho-co-late!

Chocolate Misu : Why… if it isn’t Sephiroth! What’re you doing here?

Sephiroth : Could ask you the same.

Chocolate : I’m hunting.

Irvine : What? Sorcerors in Costa Del Sol?

Chocolate : No.

Sephiroth : ( turning to Irvine ) Okay. There’s only one girl, and there’s two of us…

Chocolate : ( turns to Irvine ) I’ll take you.

Sephiroth WHA-AT?

Chocolate : Sephiroth, darling, I’ve already done you.

Sephiroth : BUT-

Irvine : Bye! ( puts arm about Chocolate’s waist and goes off )

Sephiroth : ( sits by himself glumly at the table recently vacated ) Bummer.

Someone : Seph?

Sephiroth : ( turns ) O-O ( falls backwards off his chair )

Aeris : What’s wrong?

Sephiroth : …….

Aeris : By the way, what do you think of my new outfit? ( gestures to bikini made entirely of… PINK flowers ) I made it myself.

Sephiroth : ………. Uh……… Um…….

Aeris : ( gives him wide-eyed look ) Don’t say you don’t like it.

Sephiroth : I think… ( summons every bit of self-control ) I think it’s… ( tries very best to control jaw ) REALLY….

Aeris : Really…?

Sephiroth : Great! ( grins idiotically ) Very very nice!

Aeris : ( beams and smiles brilliantly )

Sephiroth : ( looks at name of the restaurant. It’s called “Paradise” ) WOW.

AT THE NEW ‘FRECKLES A LÀ MAD SCIENTIST RESTAURANTE’

Hojo : And then you can see by THESE statistics….

Jha’Meia : ( sighs to self and wipes sleepiness from eyes ) I can see why Lucrecia prefers Vincent…

END



Now... THIS ONE... I don't know why Shi'Iana doesn't like Zack, but she doesn't. Anyhow, I hope you liked it! ^_^ I LOVE WRITING!!
