And I own everything! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Gotcha, I own nothing. C-ya!
(BTW: Its called Its All Been Done cause thats what I was listening to
when I wrote this.)

Selphie walked solemnly through the halls of Garden. It had been two
days since Irvine's betrayal. The lynch mobs had found nothing. The
most surprising thing had been when Nida, of all people, started
to defend Irvine and back up his lame cousin story. Things weren't that
bad though. People had ended the gossip, and generally things were
back to normal. Zell was even working as her 'knight,' trying to
personally ensure the capture of the fugitive. As she daydreamed
happily and walked into the Quad, she started to wonder if maybe all
this could be a blessing in disguise.
"Hmmm hmm hm hmmm hm hmm hmm hmmm..." She hummed as she
"We need to talk." An arm reached out, grabbed her, and pulled her
into the bushes. A gloved hand clamped over her mouth. Selphie bit
down hard, and as the attacker let go in surprise, she pulled away.
"What the hell do you think you're doing Kinneas?!?!" She glared at
him. Irvine shifted positions, then looked her straight in the eyes.
~What is wrong with him?!?! How dare he try to attack me. I never
thought things would go this far.~
"Trying to get you to listen."
"To what? Another one of your sweet talking sessions? I don't need
this or deserve this."
"She honestly is my cousin." Irvine still looked at her. Selphie
shook her head.
"I'm no ditz, despite what you may believe. I'm not buying some old
story like that. Plus you've lied before. And lets not forget your
reputation." Irvine moved and grabbed her hand.
~I should have known this might have happened. Once he gets a girl,
he won't allow her to go until he wants to let her go.~
"Give me a second chance."
"I already did. Everything is finished. Over and done. So just make
everything and let Zell catch you and string you up. Then things
can go back to normal."
"Zell?"
"Yes, Zell." Then she stopped. ~This could be a mistake. Irvine never
really acted the part of a jealous boyfriend, except when they were
broken up.~ She began to regret mentioning Zell.
"You're cheating on me?"
"Oh, this is a new one. Irvine accusing me of cheating." Irvine looked
away. Selphie shook her head. "This is just sad Kinneas. I know I
can do better."
"But, you're one of my best friends. Since childhood."
~Great. The guilt card again. He's always ready to pull something.~
"Don't start that. Your problem is YOU think we're still kids and I
enjoy playing this game of you chase me, catch me, let me go, then
catch me again. It isn't fun. I'm sick and tired of you and your
ways. So just leave." Irvine moved forwards and held her. He kissed
her tightly. Selphie started to lose herself, then remembered who
this was and what he had done. She pushed him back with such force
that he stumbled.
"You do that again I'll scream and call Carbuncle and he'll blind
you for life."
"Just needed to check." And suddenly he was gone. Vanished. Selphie
shook her head and looked down. Things always had to get complicated
with him. She walked to the stage.
------
"Hey Seffie, how you doing?" Zell walked over to their usual table
with two trays. Selphie looked up briefly from the audition list,
smiled, then returned to her work. "How's the festival shaping up?"
"Pretty good. I need one more act though... since Irvine's
most likely dropped out." Selphie smiled as he placed a tray in front
of her. She looked. Ho hos, her favorite. Irvine never remembered
stuff like that. There was even a small violet on her tray. "Sweet,
thanks."
"Yeah, any way I can help with this? Break dance? Spread the word?"
Zell got all wide-eyed. "Hey, maybe do a Martial Arts demo!" She
giggled.
"Just maybe spread the word. That would be great." Selphie smiled
at him Zell saluted and stepped back.
"I see Nida, I'm gonna recruit him too! Be back!"
""Oh, and Zell, thanks for everything." Selphie watched as he walked
backwards away from her.
"Anything to make Seffie smile again." She giggled as he ran into
Seifer and Seifer chased after him.
~When did he start calling me Seffie? I think right after all this
happened. Its sweet. Really nice. I'm glad I have him.~ Suddenly
a paper airplane landed in front of her. She looked at it and opened
it up.
`You could at least have told me to my face that it was over and
you're dating Zell. Selphie, I love you. I always have. And I
might end up loving you forever. But if you can't even trust me
when I'm telling you the truth, then we can't be. Ever. Good bye.`
Selphie looked. It seemed familiar. Actually, it looked like the
exact same note Irvine had sent her last time, except he added the
listening and truth part. She looked around for a familiar hat and
smelled for Old Spice, but didn't notice anything. She shook her head
and crumpled the paper. She also made a very serious decision then
and there.
~If Irvine keeps this up, I'll have tell Zell and we'll have the
D.C. stop him. I can't take this.~ Selphie got up. She penned a
quick note to Zell explaining that she had to leave. She couldn't take
being watched like some kind of animal. She had to get away from
his eyes.
======
[the end]
kinda a cliff-hanger, right? well, Irvine's side will explain more.
wait till the next full series. Its gonna make a familiar, loved
character a hero in one story, but a villian in the other.
