Xu approached the table. For once, she was not wearing her Administrative Headmistress uniform. Rather, she wore an elegant black gown. It was lovely, and she looked great given her years. She had let down her usually pinned hair. It hung to her shoulders, sleek and straight. A shock of gray hung at each of her temples, framing her face and revealing her age in a graceful way. She smiled at them as she came. It was a reserved smile--but a smile, nonetheless.
She glanced around, noticing a few of the chairs vacant. "I take it some of your number couldn't wait to start the festivities?" her smile grew. "Well, I just came to give you all a little heads-up. I'm going to start the announcement." She nodded once before moving around the table and toward the stairs that lead up to the stage.
With the appearance of Xu, the sound of the orchestra slowly faded away. All of the musicians lowered their instruments respectfully and turned their attention to her. The microphone at the podium amplified the sound of her heels on the stage as she approached.
"Ladies and gentlemen," she placed her hands on the surface of the dark wood. "Tonight is a truly wonderful evening, isn't it?" She cleared her throat. The murmur of voices died down, everyone on the ballroom floor turning to watch and listen.
"It is. We are free. The world is free."
She paused, smiling.
"Twenty years ago, we stood in the face of Ultimecia--in the face of almost certain failure. Somehow we managed to overcome forces we thought to be much greater than us. It was bravery and blind faith that got us through--and for all these years, I think part of me has always believed that victory was a miracle. A stroke of luck, Hyne's mercy... "
She looked at the table of Trinity mission members.
"But because of a few young and very courageous people, I have learned not to believe in miracles anymore. Would the same miracle strike twice?" She looked back at the crowded ballroom. "No. Together, we are a great force. We three Gardens are greater than any Sorceress.
"Miracles don't happen. I believe in us."
She looked toward the table again. "There has been very much talk of 'Team Trinity' lately." She smiled broadly and beckoned them with her hand.
"They are as talented and courageous as the rumors say." She said, turning to face the crowd again as the members of the Trinity mission slowly made their way onto the stage. "I think it's time you meet them." She turned, gesturing at the row of individuals standing behind her. An ovation of applause rang out, and a smile played on her lips as she turned to face the ballroom again.
"In order of enlistment; Blaze Sanaku, Stardust Infinity, Zackery Mercutio, Jun Kuroki, Polaris Lyn, Hadrian D'Arcell, Stella Artos, Gemma Ridean, Jax Ridean, and Rayden Sharpola.
"For their efforts, the war is over. It is beyond doubt that without the success of their mission we would still be struggling with Adel. And we probably would not be winning that struggle. We owe them very much." She looked toward Quistis, who was coming onto the stage from the side, holding a small dark wooden box. Xu stepped aside and allowed her to take the podium.
Quistis placed the box down on the wooden surface and cleared her throat quietly.
"In recognition of their achievement, each will be awarded a medal of the highest honor." she opened the box as Squall and Seifer took the stage next to her. "The medals are each adorned with the gem matching the mission chapter or chapters of that person's involvement." She began handing them to the gentlemen on each side of her, who then in turn began passing them out to the SeeDs, shaking hands and murmuring congratulations. "These medals are symbolic of their mission, of the sacrifices made and the risks taken. Know that the bearers are those to whom you should give your utmost respect in all situations." Quistis also turned and issued a few herself.
Xu took to the podium again.
"There are three more individuals here tonight deserving this same recognition. Technically, they were not charged with the Trinity mission, but they may as well have been." Her eyes skimmed over the crowd and landed on the Opps. "Vanesse Yanagi, Diego Stanton, and Jaime Lewis, would you mind joining us here at the stage?" She smiled.
When the three of the Opps faction made their appearance, Xu came to them with three small medals in her hand. After passing one to each, she beckoned them back to the podium to stand beside her. "These three civilians, through their actions, have demonstrated more heart and bravery than many a SeeD I have seen walking these corridors." She paused and glanced at them, the three of them standing together at her right side. "Like most of us, they have suffered losses. But their resolve never wavered. They had a hand in driving home this victory. And for their dedication to a mission that was never their burden to bear, on behalf of the entire Administrative Committee I would like to extend to them a Balamb Garden SeeD title invitation." She laughed a bit, looking at them again. "It's a lot to take in, I understand. An answer at a later time would be perfectly acceptable.
"So," she exhaled, grinning once more. Xu was all smiles tonight. She turned her head to address her Trinity group. "Is there anything any of you might like to say?" Then, she added, in a quieter tone, "If not, shoo," She winked. "By all means, go enjoy your night."
Okie dokie. If you want your character to make any kind of speech or anything, now's the time!
The medals--in case you're confused, it's basically like this: If your charrie was involved in acquiring the Sapphire, they have a Sapphire on their medal. Same with Emerald and Ruby. (The only charries that have all three are Blaze and Stardie o.o) EDIT: One more thing regarding gems--there is a diamond to symbolize Trinity being intact and the battle with Adel. So whoever battled Adel has a diamond on theirs as well. ^_^
I didn't specify who exactly Seifer, Squall, and Quistis gave medals to. If you want to specify, just pick one of the three. I know I said they were shaking hands and murmuring congrats--if you want to add what they said your charrie in your post, feel free. You can make them say what you want really, as long as it's not too OOC. Like don't make Squall hug anyone mmkay XD
Aaaaand if you have nothing to add to this and you just wanna get your charrie off the stage and continue with the festivities, go ahead!
P.S. Sorry this took so long. I really should have had it written ahead of time. -_-

Stella couldn't help grinning like some kind of fool as Seifer sauntered over to her with her medal in his hands. She had to admit, Quistis was an extremely lucky woman.
"Stella" he said with a little grin reaching forward to carefully pin the metal to the strap of her dress. His fingers were warm and the brushed against her softly. Oh my god, he's touching me...
"Seifer" she grinned back unable to help herself. She looked down at the metal admiring the gold resting agaisnt her green dress. The ruby and the diamond set into it glittering in the lights. Instantly she was so very proud of earning it.
"You deserve it, wear it with pride" Seifer said leaning in to give her a little kiss on the cheek before giving her a sexy wink. Someone bring me a phoenix down because I've officially died and gone to heaven.... It's a shame she wasn't older and he wasn't so obviously in love with someone else.
With that thought she glanced down the line at Rayden and smiled a little. Who knows... maybe she could have that kind of love someday. Shaking her head a little she turned her attention elsewhere as she heard Jun start to speak.

Jun was practically beaming with pride, standing as she was on the stage and being referred to as talented and courageous. Xu really knew how to make them feel appreciated.
Headmaster Squall had reached Jun by that time, handing her the medal with the briefest of smiles.
"Well done, Miss Kuroki." He said succintly, and although it was only a few words, her heart was beating so vigorously she thought it was going to jump out of her chest cavity. Everything she had done for the mission was well worth the sweat and tears, to be standing up here and celebrating that Adel was finally dead. And looking at the happy faces on the stage, beside her, and on the faces below the stage.
Xu stepped off the podium, giving them the chance to make a speech. Jun would not usually try to hog the limelight, but she just had to say something, because she knew she wouldn't get the chance or nerve to do it again.
So she did, she stepped up the podium with trembling nerves.
"Thank you Headmistress Xu." She turned and nodded respectfully at her with a bright smile, then turned back to speak into the mic. "I wanted to point out that, without your valuable guidance, it wouldn't have been possible to complete the mission as successfully as we did. You were supportive of us, and you never lost your temper at us even though we kept returning empty-handed." She grinned. "And Hyne knows the number of times our team gave her headaches. You were like a mother to us Xu, there I said it. Oh, and..." She brought up her fingers in a victory sign. "Hurray for world peace!" She quickly turned and left the podium before her embarrassment could get the better of her and left the stage, heading for the nearest seat on the Trin table.
"Well I sure hope I didn't make a big fool of myself." She said, fanning her flushing face.

Post by Reese on Sept 9, 2007 8:02:17 GMT -5
Reese found himself dealing with a very strange set of emotions as he watched the Trinity team ascend to the stage. He felt an odd connection, like part of him was walking up there with him. And then there was another whole side of him that felt very stupid and wrong for feeling that way at all. Sure, he had tagged along for a while and witnessed their emotions and their interactions and pretended to be part of the group... but had he really ever been with them? No. Not at all. Did he wish he had been? A lot of things about his life would be nicer, if everything had happened differently...
Naturally, his eyes had settled on Stardust for most of the announcement. After all, he had really only come for her. It was undoubtedly a very important night for her--this was an honor that she could carry with her always. She had been a part of something truly great, and he wanted to be present for her recognition. What's more, her personal goal had been accomplished. He was so very proud of her. She had her vengeance. Maybe now, her spirits could rest a bit.
He smiled slightly when they gave her the medal. She received it with that typical ever-stoic expression. Stardust was all business, all the time.
Not all the time. he reminded himself, remembering her smile, his own smile fading a bit at the thought.
"I can't believe they didn't call me up too." The voice was feminine, a high-pitched whisper with a haughty tone. He could see her sitting at the table in his peripheral vision. "I had a part in this mission too--this is ridiculous."
Who the-- He looked in her direction, frowning. --Oh, holy hell not her...
Brooke Coroniere.
She seemed to notice the very brief flicker of attention he had given her, because she rose from her chair and closed the space between them immediately, slinking down into the chair right next to his and looking at him. "OhmyHyne, Reese?" She said quietly, leaning toward him.
Reese tried to subdue the irritated frown just itching to surface. He wasn't even looking at her though, he was looking at the stage. "What?" He replied quietly, his tone not totally stripped of it's usual aggravated edge.
"I knew it was you!" She smiled. "I like the hair." She added with a wink.
Jun was now approaching the podium, and talking about hair with Brook was the last thing Reese wanted to be doing at this moment. He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips a bit at Jun's little 'Hurray for world peace!'
"Aww, Jun!" Brooke grinned and clapped her hands together at the end of Jun's little speech. She looked at Reese, who--other than the half-smile he'd exhibited just moments ago--had almost no reaction. She quirked her lips to the side and twisted around to face Lawric. "Guy's not much for social interaction, is he?"
Lawric shrugged "I really wouldn't know." He looked away.
"Oh... kay." Brooke twisted back around just as Jun approached and flopped down into a chair, fanning her face. "I'm gonna get us some drinks!" Brooke announced suddenly, leaving the table.
"Well I sure hope I didn't make a big fool of myself." Jun said.
"You didn't." Reese replied quietly.

Lawric sat at the table with Reese and Brooke, feeling very out of place--to say the least. He smiled at the sight of his friends up on stage, receiving their medals and enduring all the flattery. He felt very happy for them, and yet somehow at the same time he felt sort of sad. Not in a self-pitying or jealous way. He just felt somehow disconnected. It wasn't like it had always been between them. Maybe it was the absence of Able and Signe that was messing up his perception. Or maybe it had something to do with him coming back...
Forget about it. He told himself.
Jun approached the podium. Her body language said she might nervous, but she was full of exuberance as she relayed her thanks. Her smiles brought an involuntary smile to his own face, which became a grin when she flashed a 'peace' sign and laughed before moving away from the podium. She struck him as a very dignified and serious-minded woman, and yet still she had no problem baring her personality so flippantly. He found himself very fascinated by her.
She came down the stairs and toward the table. Brooke whipped around in her chair. "Guy's not much for social interaction, is he?" Lawric looked at Reese, and then back at Brooke. Why is this girl I have never even met asking me about I guy I also have never met?
Lawric shrugged "I really wouldn't know." He looked away, watching Jun come up and sink down into a chair. The weird girl left to get them a drinks, apparently.
His eyes fixed on Jun. "So is the blonde your boyfriend?" He asked, nodding his head up toward the podium.

"Congratulations." Squall murmured in his quiet and dispassionate way, placing the medal in one of Zacke's hands and firmly shaking the other.
Zacke smirked and nodded once. "Yessir."
He looked down at it, admiring the tiny gems. A sapphire, emerald, and diamond for him. Three outta four, not bad, not bad... he thought. Still, he couldn't help but feel a little bit jealous of Blaze and Stardust. He could totally see one of them rubbing it in his face that hers was "complete" or some crap. More likely Blaze, since she actually talked to him from time to time, and all Stardust ever did was grunt and bark.
He pinned the medal to the lapel of his tux and lifted his gaze to the ballroom ahead. Yeesh. From up here, you could really see how crowded it was. These weren't just Balamb SeeDs and Cadets, these people were from all three Gardens. He grinned crookedly, relishing the idea of celebrity status (though he was probably exaggerating the reality of their fame in his mind.)
Jun stepped forward and did a cute little thing about calling Xu their mom and stuff. He didn't know how much he bought into that. Xu had actually always been more of a bitchy Aunt or something. Other than flying them out transportation, she hadn't done all that much. And in the beginning, she wasn't so great about choosing reliable teammates... He couldn't help but snicker at the memory of Alyeena having a miscarriage when nobody even knew she was pregnant. And Terry, oh Hyne Terry...
"Hurray for world peace!" Jun's little exclamation snapped him out of his nostalgia. She flashed the ballroom a peace sign before moving away from the podium.
It didn't look like any of the others were really eager to get to the podium this second, so Zacke stepped up to it.
"Yo," he turned the mic a bit, curving it upward. "I uhh, I guess I don't have that much to say in the way of a fancy speech or anything." He cleared his throat a bit and scratched the back of his head. "Sorceresses are really effing hard to kill, that's for sure. I'm glad she's dead--and umm, I really hope we don't have to fight another one soon... "
He laughed. "You guys look like you're having fun tonight--that's cool. Hey, and thanks for the congrats and all, but this night's not all about us. It's about the end of the war." He paused for a few seconds. "So, yeah... live and love, guys. Take advantage of your freedom. Make friends. Don't waste your time. Junk like that."
He flashed a typical beaming grin and winked, before turning away and heading for the stairs.

Jun was about to tell Brooke that she didn't want any drinks, but the girl didn't notice her hesitation, heading towards the bar immediately. Jun sighed. She would have to decline. It wasn't very polite but ensuring that she didn't disgrace herself in public was more of a priority for Jun.
Zacke was making a speech on the podium. Jun couldn't help but laugh at his speech, peppered with laughs and grin. He could always be counted on to liven up everything, even though they had just gone through a solemn medal presentation ceremony.
She glanced to her left, and happened to catch Lawric's glance.
"So is the blonde your boyfriend?" Lawric asked, nodding his head up toward the podium.
"What? Zacke?" Her eyebrows lifted. Did they look like a couple? "Oh no no, of course not. He's just a friend." She grinned. "I wouldn't be studmuffin's girlfriend, I'm too old for him. And Zacke only asked me to be his date so I wouldn't have to come alone. He's a sweetheart."

Lawric smirked. "Studmuffin?" He glanced over at Zacke, who had moved away from the podium and was now on his way over to the table. Zacke definitely didn't seem like a 'studmuffin' type. In fact, if he was willing to attend a Ball with a 'just-friends' girl... "Hah, nice nickname." He looked back at Jun.
"While on that subject, though--Jaime honestly isn't my girlfriend, you know. We've worked and lived together for a long time, so we have kind of an intimate friendship--"
"--Heyyy!!" Brooke came up to them, a champagne bottle in one hand and an empty glass in the other. She clunked both of them down on the table and moved aside. Two gentlemen stood behind her, one holding a bucket in each hand with the few more bottles, the other pushing a trolley of wine glasses.
"Ta-da!" Brooke exclaimed, gesturing at what she'd brought. "I toldja I'd get us some drinks. There'll be enough for everybody!"
She started taking glasses off the trolley and setting them down on the table. Once she'd unloaded twenty or so she shooed the men off. "We need to have a toast!" she announced, popping open one of the bottles. It was red wine. She began pouring the liquid into the glasses, stopping when she'd filled five or so. "A toast to our victory!"
She excitedly started handing out the glasses, one to Lawric and Jun each, one to Reese. When Zacke approached she gave him one also, and then went back to filling the glasses.

"Well...I envy your relationship then. I imagine not many people can have--" Jun was abruptly interrupted by a loud 'Hey'. She panicked when she saw Brooke coming back. She had two guys with her, each carrying ice buckets, glasses and alcohol.
She tried declining Brooke when the other girl handed her the glass of red wine but her protestations were ignored. Her face took on a pallor and cold sweat. She looked at her glass of sparkling grape juice...it wasn't anywhere near her, and it would look particularly suspicious if she went all the way down the table just to get what appeared to be another glass of "red wine".
What should I do now? Her gaze zoomed around wildly. More people were coming back to the table. If she refused to toast she would look snobbish and a dreadful spoilsport. That was the last impression she wanted to give people.
She held the glass limply in her hand, gazing at it with a dreaded expression.

Lawric took the glass he was handed with an eyebrow cocked. This girl was really concerned with them, for someone who hadn't been a member of the mission. Was she someone's girlfriend or something?
He glanced over at Jun, thoroughly confused. He was distracted from that confusion, however, when he noticed the look on her face. She was staring at her wine with a very strange expression. She looked almost scared. His gaze shifted to her glass. There's nothing wrong with it... He frowned slightly and, not wanting to stare, looked away.
Brooke held up a glass. "This toast, I make to Alex...Alexz... Mr. Ske!" She lowered her voice and whispered at Lawric and Jun. "I never knew how to say that guy's name!" She grinned and laughed as if it were cute, then raised her voice to normal voice. "Anyways, "
Lawric glanced at Jun again. At this point, she had gone from looking scared to looking sick. She obviously didn't like something about the wine... Does she have something against alcoholic beverages?
"That guy totally committed suicide in my mansion! I mean gross!! But poor guy! So yeah, I hope he's in heaven and stuff DRINK UP HAHA!!" With that laugh, Brooke threw her head back and downed her glass.
Lawric's gaze switched to Jun again. She had started to move the glass toward her lips, eyes full of dread. He frowned slightly and looked away, downing his own glass quickly. There's no reason for her to cave for fear of insulting a bimbo like this loud brunette. Before Brooke had recovered from her post-drink giggles, he deftly intercepted Jun's glass with his hand and pulled it away, switching it out with his empty one instead. He kept his eyes trained on Brooke the whole time, bringing Jun's glass to his lips and downing that one also.
"Good stuff, huh?!" Brooke exclaimed enthusiastically.

Jun felt like singing a funeral march as she brought the glass closer to her lips, a struggle breaking out between her unwilling hand and her chatising mind.
Here goes... She thought, squeezing her eyes shut, her face practically turning green just at the thought of the allergic reaction that would follow once she downed the wine. She couldn't have been miraculously cured of her allergy, Hyne wasn't that good to her.
But the glass never reached her lips. A hand shot out, took her glass from her hands and replaced it with an empty one. It now looked like she had a drained glass in her hand... she turned to look at Lawric, saw him drinking her glass of wine. She opened her mouth, dumbstruck. How could he have known? How did he know that she couldn't drink the wine? How? How? She didn't know, but right now, it was all she could do to stop herself from falling to her knees and worshipping him.
"Good stuff, huh?!" She could hear Brooke's voice somewhere faraway, and only then did she turn and come back to the present.
"Oh yeah, vintage, yeah." She nodded at Brooke, turning back to flash a grateful smile at Lawric.

Reese glanced from his glass to Brooke's face.
Give me a break, like I am toasti--
"This toast, I make to Alex...Alexz... Mr. Ske!"
He arched an eyebrow at glanced down at the red liquid in his glass. Then again...
"That guy totally committed suicide in my mansion! I mean gross!! But poor guy! So yeah, I hope he's in heaven and stuff DRINK UP HAHA!!"
Reese couldn't help but smirk a bit. Committed suicide?
The words brought fond memories to mind. Namely the look on Alexzaasfhajs's face when he shoved him through the glass. He tilted his head back and drained the glass.
I'll toast to that.

Blaze held her head up in the air with pride as the medals were being handed out. She enjoyed the stares of admiration and jealousy she was getting as she scanned the crowd. You wish you were me.
Quistis, Seifer and Squall branched out to hand everyone their medals and Blaze's mouth started to grow dry. Squall couldn't hand her her medal! She couldn't afford to lose her composure in front of all these people.
Just as Squall drew nearer to her and Blaze's forehead started to sweat, Quistis stepped foward and pressed a shiny medal into the palm of Blaze's hand.
"All that hell you gave me in class," Quistis smiled, "it paid off."
Blaze looked up into Quistis's face and smiled back. She faintly heard Jun ramble on about world peace and Zacke make some retarded good-guy speech. Then she realized that she herself was smiling and clutching her medal with pride. Bleagh the room was filling up with the putrid stench of love and happiness. She scowled to help lower the stench.
When it was her turn to use the microphone she gabbed it and huffed, "We worked our fucking asses off to kill Sorceress Adel and help ease world suffering. If anybody tries to threaten civilians and the Gardens with tyranny again, I will wring their throats."
A pause, and then scattered uneasy applause broke out. Blaze abruptly took her leave, following Zacke down the stairs. She snickered behind his back.
"Yooo! You look lyke you're havin' fun to-NAAAIGHT! Live and luuurve! Make friends! Pet bunnies! Throw flower petals about and sing the Pupu song! HAHAHAHA. Oh look! Your medal is missing a ruby on it." Blaze jeered, rudely pushing him aside on her way down the stairs. She froze halfway down, almost causing Zacke to crash into her. She saw that REESE, ....BROOKE? and some of the others were sitting at the Trinity tables.
"I'm not sitting over there," she said in disgust. "I don't want to be infected by the black plauge."

HAHAHA Blaze and Stardie got the highest honors?? Say whaaat? XD That sounds so wrong LOL Seifer's pheromones are on the roll tonight >D -------------------------------------------
The three gems and a lone diamond on her medal sparkled in her chest under the spotlight. Stardust looked up at Seifer Almasy to see him lean in and plant a friendly kiss on her cheek. She froze for a second before she heard him say, "Excellent job, Pinky." Mussing her head, he moved on to the next person.
/Someone turn that man into a guardian force so that I can make him my husband and I can kiss him everyday for eons and eons to come./ Diwata giggled non-stop. /He's got me heels over head!/
You're not the one he kissed. Stardust felt like smiling. She did it. She really did it. The bright lights that were focused on the stage made it a little hard to see all of the many faces in the Ballroom, but that didn't matter to her. She had met many people tell her that revenge would bring her nothing but emptiness in the end. Regardless, she still pursued it like an obsessed person and played around with death. She was on a highway to self-destruction and that was fine with her.
She listened to Jun, Zacke, and Blaze say some awkward speech about world peace and all those stuff. Like hell she would do that. However, it would be even more awkward if she just passed by the mic and didn't say anything---like those three before her did. She knew she should've exited the stage after Stella. Atleast it wouldn't be so obvious. She had no choice but to say something now.
"Thank you," she said to the mic and headed down the stage. That was the only thing she could think of.
Stardust sighed. She really did picture herself ending her life once everything was over. She even swore to her friends she would follow them once she put an end to Adel. But now...she felt like sticking around a little more. Of course, it wasn't because of these two stupid teammates of her whom she often dreamt of killing.
"You're both on the way," Stardust pushed past Blaze and Zacke, almost knocking them out of the stage's narrow steps. She heard Blaze's complaint about the black plague. She was causing traffic. "If you don't want to sit there, then don't say it, go do it and make me happy," she grumbled, "Getting haughty just cuz she got 4 rocks."
She reached the table and found a very familiar lady serving drinks to everyone. Brooke Coronierre? Jun was sorta enjoying herself with an empty glass. Stardust didn't know she was the type to drink. True, her sense of nosiness would bother her a little from time to time, but all in all, she wasn't that bad. Of course, that didn't mean that she had developed a sense of kinship to her. That was nonsense.
"You really love to drink, don't you?" Stardust returned in her seat near Reese. She wouldn't lie to herself. This guy's troublesome antics definitely was one to blame for her newly-found point of view. Unlike the suicidal nobody that she used to be before she was accepted into the mission, she now had people who would shed reactions if she ever stopped existing. It wasn't the same as being worthless. Somehow, it was kind of...refreshing--that sort of thinking. She smirked at Reese.
"Seriously, drinking just after you woke up." She shook her head and watched Brooke ramble more about some Ske guy. Who was that? "Brooke, how come you're still alive?" Stardust greeted.

"Yooo! You look lyke you're havin' fun to-NAAAIGHT!"
Zacke rolled his eyes and kept going down the stairs.
"Live and luuurve! Make friends! Pet bunnies! Throw flower petals about and sing the Pupu song! HAHAHAHA."
He turned slightly. "Wow Blaze, you're hil--"
"Oh look! Your medal is missing a ruby on it." She interrupted with a sneer, coming up next to him and shoving him to the side, literally bullying her way past him. He frowned and stumbled over as she moved on. He followed her, eyes narrowed. I knew she would say some--
Suddenly she stopped, and he almost collided with her, barely stopping himself before sending them both falling down the stairs. Blaze! "I'm not sitting over there," she said in disgust. "I don't want to be infected by the black plague." He followed her stare, aggravated by her attitude. Reese and Brooke--okay, she had a point. Still... he looked down at the back of her head, eyes full of annoyance.
"You're both on the way,"
He felt himself be shoved around for the second time--this time by pinkhead. What's with all the pushing?! he thought angrily. "If you don't want to sit there, then don't say it, go do it and make me happy," she said, brushing by them and going to the table.
Zacke brushed off Stardust's attitude, following Blaze the rest of the way down the stairs. "If you don't want to sit there, then where are you sitting?" he said blandly, staring at her. "Those are our tables."

Suddenly, he smirked.
"I bet that's where Hadrian's gonna sit."
