...Okay...I don't know why I did this, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. I'm just basically messing around with scenes from the game and altering them a bit.

Third Time's the Charm: Squall
Squall looked around bored from the wall as everyone enjoyed themselves at the party. He calmly took a sip from his drink and was a bit surprised at the shooting star that shot overhead in the starry sky.
A dark haired girl looked his way and smiled, pointing up to indicate the shooting star that had just past. He gave her a look and she started walking over to him. Just before she got to him, Selphie popped up out of nowhere, literally.
"Hey Squall, aren't you lonely?" the hyper brunette asked, smiling at him.
He shrugged, noticing the dark haired girl walking away after Selphie had popped up and started talking to him.
"Well I thought you could use some company." Selphie smiled. "I needed a break anyway."
"……" Calmly he handed his empty drink to a passing hostess. "Weren't you looking for people to join the Festival Committee?"
"Yeah, but no one wants to join so far and you're really the only one who's volunteered to join." Looking at the dancers a bit, she grabbed his arm and pulled him to the dance floor.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Squall asked, startled.
"It's a bit boring just standing here, let's try to dance a bit." Selphie laughed as she put him in position. "Sorry if I step on your toes. I'm not that much of a dancer."
"That makes two of us." Squall spoke as they stumbled a bit. "I don't dance." He tried to reason.
"Don't worry so much." Selphie replied, getting them back into position. "It's fun to try – whoa!" The two of them stumbled into another couple.
"Watch it!" the girl they bumped into hissed.
"Well sorry." Selphie said back sarcastically, blowing her a raspberry.
Squall dragged the hyper brunette away before she could get into a squabble and got them into position for the dance.
I can't believe I'm doing this. He thought. I don't even know why I'm caring.
After a beat, the two started dancing perfectly with other dancers. Fireworks shot overhead and the two stared in awe and walked out onto the balcony afterwards.
"Whoo," Selphie giggled. "Who knew we could dance after a few tries. Third time really is the charm."
"We're SeeD's," Squall replied. "Dancing was a mandatory class a few years ago."
"Boo, everything's a business with you." Selphie pouted. "One day I'll get you to loosen up and then you'll realize all the fun you've been missing." She declared.
Squall gave a small smirk. "You can try." He said wryly.
Giggling some more she patted his shoulder. "I'm gonna go try and recruit volunteers for the festival again. Bye Squall." She smiled, going back inside. "HEY ZELL!" her voice echoed as she spotted a victim.
Squall just shook his head in disbelief. Besides, maybe now he could go back to his room. He danced after all, even if it was with Selphie, and no one would get the wrong impression.
AN: I should be working on my other projects, not starting new one's!!! If you want to review you can, I don't really care. Reason why Squall seemed nice ro Selphie and had agreed to joining the Destival Commitee, because I said so. When I played FF8, I made him nice to Selphie and that's what I'm sticking to.
