Zell and Selphie stood at the gates, waiting for Quistis to return from her mission. Selphie held a cute umbrella over both of them, while the rain poured so hard that it nearly resembled a waterfall. They could see distant shadows approaching, and they knew she would be leading them all.
Before they knew it, the rest of the SeeDs had run into the comfort and warmth of Balamb Garden. Yet, there she was, standing in the downpour, not seeming to care how soaked she truly was. Selphie shoved the umbrella at Zell and leapt into Quistis's arms, pulling her close and kissing her, a fantasy she'd always had. However, the moment was soon interrupted by Zell gently grabbing Quistis's arm and pulling her to him, kissing her as well. He then pulled Selphie into his arms as well, holding them both close to his body, which was like a personal heater, warming the two girls up in the cold rain. He leaned down and kissed them both, then Quistis took charge and tugged them both toward the door.
Once inside, they all went directly to Quistis's quarters, where they got into dry clothes and snuggled close to warm one another. Selphie took down Quistis's hair and brushed through it, whispering into her ear that they'd missed her. Zell sat on the bed, trying to rearrange his own hair, while thinking that life couldn't get much better than this. With his two best girls, he was set.
