I blinked and turned. Tattoo. Grin. Spiked blonde hair. Gorgeous eyes. _Zell._ Zell Dincht. I looked up at the clock. _Same time._ My eyes quickly migrated back to Zell. He'd dressed in his usual Balamb-blue sweatpants with the Balamb emblem on the left pantleg, and a gray sweatshirt with the raised letters 'Mach Kick' across the front--along with several things symbolizing painful contact with people's various body parts.

He looked good enough to squeeze.

I blinked again as he leaned against the counter with his infamous lopsided smile.

Zell gave me a salute of finger to forehead. "Hiya."

I swallowed my heart so that I could say something. "Hi." _Maybe I should reach out and touch him to make sure he's real?_

But he suddenly snapped his fingers with an accompanying exaggerated movement of his body in a type of 'Duh'. " **Now** I remember where I've seen you before! Mega Phoenix!"

I flushed molten. _He remembers me?_ "Guilty," I confessed with a sheepish nod.

"Hey, thanks a lot for that. We didn't need it, but it was handy to have."

_Hyne, am I awake?_ I pinched myself and winced. "I'm glad."

"Me, too. And thanks a lot for that Combat King issue you gave on the train! That issue **so** rocked! I really needed that move against Ultimecia's goons."

I blushed so hot I thought I might spontaneously combust. "Y-You're welcome." _Why can't I say any more than two words?!_

Zell continued to smile at me for several silent seconds before saying, "So... books?"

"Oh! Sorry." I turned in the chair and placed the books onto the counter one at a time after checking them out onto his account.

Zell gathered them under one arm before giving another grin and salute. "Thanks. Later." Then he snapped his fingers again in an 'oh yeah'. "
