Try Me
(Disclaimer: I don't own any of the FFVIII characters, yadda yadda yadda...)
(Note: dunno what I'm going to write, it's all gonna be pretty improvised based on my mood so I
hope it turns out alright, and I'll try my hardest not to make it all cheesy and stuff!^^)

"18765...18766...18767...it should be right here..what? Wait a second....18767...18769?
Where's 18768?" The young girl named Selphie muttered to herself, staring at a piece of
rumpled paper. As she walked between the houses trying to figure out where the house of 18768
was located, it came as no surprise that she didn't notice a young woman walk up behind her. She
turned around only when she was tapped on the shoulder, "Hm? Hello? Is there something I can
do for you?", was Selphie's muttered reply.
"Well I was just taking a stroll when I looked over and found you sneaking around over
here." Her voice wasn't accusing or curt, it was more of an innocent curious voice.
"I-I was just looking for 18768...do you by chance know where it is?" Selphie paused
waiting for an answer, feeling slightly stupid. It soon came to her, much to her own surprise.
"Well I don't know myself exactly, but I know a man that would know. Would you like
me to show you?"
"Um sure, I guess that would be alright." She smiled, still a little unsure of...what was her
name? "So, what's your name?"
"I'm...um..." She paused and thought, then smiled, "Oh yeah! My name's Adelaide, you
can call me Adelle if you like."
"Hi Adelle," she laughed at her pause in thought, "my name is Selphie." Adelle stopped and
Selphie followed suit, "Is something wrong?" Adelle had a thoughtful face and Selphie was
beginning to become annoyed at her airy-ness.
"I think Seifer said something about a Selphie...oh!" Adelle grinned, misreading Selphie's
shocked face for that of wonder, "Seifer is the one that knows about 18768" Selphie face
slowly turned from shock, to worry, to finally settling on confusion. She was sent to 18768 to
pick up a new garden student, why she was to pick him up she didn't know. Normally garden
students would come on their own. Now that this unexpected familiar stranger's name turned up,
she didn't know what to think. Wasn't he against Garden? Wasn't he against Squall?? The fact
that he could be a student was hard to believe seeing as Squall was commander...but wait, Adelle
said Seifer knew about 18768, not stayed there...right? Adelle interrupted her thoughts,
"Can we continue now?"
"Yes, yes alright" She was slightly out of breath, yet she didn't know why. And after fixing
one of her characteristic hyper happy smiles on her face they continued on down the dark city
street together.
~***~
Selphie entered a pub after Adelle, looking quite curious and perhaps a little nervous. Adelle
on the other hand seemed to feel right at home amongst the rough-housers' and wove her way
between the tables heading towards the back. She turned around indicating Selphie to follow
before continuing on. Adelle stopped abruptly causing Selphie to walk into her and tumble
clumsily backwards into a very muscular and undoubtedly drunk man. He turned on the small
female alcohol thick on his breath.
"Hello little lady, acting a bit feisty, eh?" He got up and walked towards Selphie who in turn
took a few steps backwards and finally pressed herself up against a wall, wishing it to give way
to an escape from this man. She mentally beat herself for not bringing her nunchucka. The man
had now placed his right hand next to Selphie on the wall and was smiling at her mischievously
as he moved his left hand to her waist. She looked around and saw Adelle chatting animatedly
with some men, and seeing no one else that could possibly help her: she slapped him. This only
made him more persistent, made apparent by the fact he was pushing against her immobilizing
much of her body. He was beginning to lean his face in when someone had apparently tapped
him on the shoulder, he turned around and was met by a forceful punch sending him to the
ground. Someone roughly grabbed Selphie by the wrist and when she looked up she saw the back
head of a tall blonde working his way to a side door.
