It had been 4 years now since the defeat of Ultimecia, everyone now had their own separate lives. Squall and Rinoa were due to be married in a few months time, Zell had become a fighting instructor at Balamb garden, Quistis had returned to her old instructor job, Irvine became the headmaster of Galbadia garden and as for Selphie she returned to Trabia garden to help rebuild it and not long after achieved her instructor's licence. Life couldn't be more different to what Selphie had hoped for, she was still in love with Irvine and Irvine was still in love with her but never bothered to contact her just in case she had moved on. He hated to remember the reason they had broken up and what an idiot he had been:
FLASHBACK
Selphie was walking down the corridor in Galbadia garden on her way to see her boyfriend Irvine. Everyone in that place pushed and shoved her, only to add to her bad day was what she saw next. Irvine holding the hand of another girl! Selphie walked up to the girl and slapped her (a very difficult task considering the girl was about 5' 9"), she then ran off crying with Irvine running behind her.
"Selphie! Wait! It's not what it seems!"
"Really? I find that hard to believe", she shouted as she slapped Irvine so hard it made his eyes water. "I don't ever want to see you again! You dirty lying scumbag!"
"That's a bit harsh."
"Nothing less than you deserve."
With that Selphie returned to her car and drove into the horizon. Irvine gave up chasing her at that point, Celestine, his 'lady friend' of the moment, put her hand on his shoulder and pulled him back from the road and back into the garden.
Irvine still couldn't believe he had been that stupid, Celestine at that point was running her hand through his hair.
"Celestine would you please quit that."
"Why, you know you love it really."
"I can't stop thinking about Selphie, what have I done?"
"You don't need that little shrimp in your life, you've got me."
"I……… don't love you, we're through, I gotta find Selphie and apologise."
Meanwhile, back at Trabia garden Selphie was looking through old photographs of her and the 'gang', she stumbled across a couple of her and Irvine, a single tear ran down her cheek as she threw them onto the fire and reached for the next one. Suddenly her front door knocked and an envelope fell through the letterbox. She walked over cautiously and picked it up, it read:
Selphie,
Forgive me for the wrongs I have done,
The wrongs that drove us apart,
Even if you don't accept my apology,
Please remember I still love you.
Irvine
"Sod"
The letter was thrown on the fire.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
Irvine had a tear in each of his eyes as he remembered that day, and the cold years without her he had endured because of his fling with Celestine. He knew he had to find her…….
