plain silly and somewhat pointless.

soft *Sigh*Cookie
Zell skipped merrily
down the corridors of Balamb Garden... Yes, skipped. It was quite cute in fact.
Many other students took notice of the cuteness, too. Maybe to many took
notice. As Zell made his way around turns and bends, seemingly going nowhere,
people began to follow. I mean, what on earth could make Zell skip? He may
jump, or bound, run, lolly-gag, and other such crazy things, but for a man to
just outright skip in public was blasphemous!
To top it all off, as Zell
rounded another corner he began to hum! Well, if that just don’t put a cherry in
the pudding I don’t know what will. So now, skipping and humming he rounded
yet another corner. Sadly, this would be his down fall. Can we all guess what
happened? Well, you could be right if you said “Seifer.” Plain and simple.
The taller man was propped up against the wall, content with watching the
normal everyday hustle and bustle of the Garden. He really just liked his
looming presence to be felt at all times.
Well, as luck would have it, Seifer
happened to be looming in the path of Zell’s joyous skipping.
Expectedly there was a collision, and yes, Zell landed on top of Seifer. They
lay on the ground in a tangle of limbs and curses.
Seifer was the first to
say something, the big mouth that we all know he is.
“Damn it Chicken! What
the hell do you think your doing frolicking in my Garden? You need to
watch where your clutz self is goin’!”
Zell sat on the floor looking up at
Seifer. Seifer sure knew how to loom, and let his presence be felt. Zell was
feeling it all to well at that moment. But for some reason, unknown to anyone
else but Zell, this was okay. Zell didn’t explode at being called a chicken
or a clutz. He merely sat there and looked up at the foreboding Seifer. After
a minute of mute staring he began to smile, then sounded out his humming once
more while now tapping his foot.
It was a cherry little melody. It wound
through the air and into the heads of the surrounding audience. The people
who had been following Zell before, like mice after a piper, began to sing along
with the happy little tune.
Seifer looked at everyone as though they were on
crack. The crowd began to sway back and forth, then ever so slightly bounce
to a beat that only they could hear. Seifer stared incredulously at Zell.
“Aw
no! I know what this is! It’s an epidemic! A trick! Your trying to infect me!
Stupid Chicky! You sure know how to pick the stupidest songs! I’m not staying
around for this!”
With that Seifer turned, trying to flee before the catchy
song got wedged into his brain. Sadly he did not make it very far. Zell was
right there behind him, and leapt for his coat sleeve, jerking Seifer around
roughly. Zell had a look of pure determination on his face that rivaled even
Seifer’s look of severe annoyance. All at once Zell burst out into verse,
singing the song that had been plaguing him all day as loud as he
could.
“Cause we’re squeeeeeezed in da middle! Smack dab in da middle! Yes
we’re, Squeeeeeeeezed in da middle!”
Seifer’s look went from Annoyed to
pure unadulterated fear. This was evil! Pure torture! What kind of evil mind
could exact this kind of treachery on another person! Seifer instinctively
shoved Zell from him and ran as fast as he could, but no matter where he
went, the humming and the words were still there! Swimming in a jumble of
images:
Cookies in a bus, people singing with them, and a little boy mauling
the poor cookie alive! Seifer did the only thing he could do... He broke down
and cried.
BACK TO ZELL
Zell was pushed into the wall that Seifer
had been perched against when he first encountered him. Catching himself he
got one fleeting look of Seifer’s back as the other man disappeared, to
somewhere deep inside the Garden.
The tattooed boy smiled a happy little
smile, no longer humming. He sighed in release. It felt so good to be
free.
“Man, you just can’t get a song out of your head until you know you can
pass it on to someone who will suffer from it.”
~ENDE~
Has anyone
seen hat new commercial? You had to have seen it! The thing is horrible! I get
the song stuck in my head for days at a time! The damn thing will just pop up
everywhere! My aunt gets complete satisfaction out of singing the friggin’
thing whenever she sees me. THE PAIN! *Grabs head and falls to ground in
shock*
