Summer Magic
Seifer Almasy stood at the Cape of Good Hope in Centra. He had come here to revisit his
'roots,' so to speak. He had spent his young childhood in the now old and runned down orphanage
on the Cape, but it never bothered him that he never knew who his parents were. Not even now, at
age seventeen.
"Hey, Seifer, we gotta go, ya know?" Seifer turned around to see his posse, Fujin and Rajin.
"BOAT." Fujin boomed in her usual brash voice.
Fujin was right, the boat would soon be here. The boat to take them back to Fisherman's
Horizon, the small town on the famous Horizon Bridge, which was the only bridge in the world to
stretch itself across an entire ocean.
"I know. Let's go."
The boat stopped with a sudden jolt as they hit a new coast, one that belonged to an island
that was near Fisherman's Horizon. There had been a slight delay and for some reason, the boat
had run short of fuel and was forced to stop in a foreign harbor. One that had never really been
visited by too many people. It wasn't too far from the Island Closest to Heaven.
Seifer decided to go and explore the town, which wasn't too big, for the island was so small.
As he entered, he noticed that the people in the town were wearing long clothes, even the men.
They looked like...robes. He fit in, though, because of his silvery overcoat.
"UNUSUAL." Fujin stated as she walked behind Seifer, eyeing people's clothes.
"These people dress pretty funny, ya know?" said Rajin. Seifer said nothing. "Hey, Seifer.
Why so quiet, ya know?"
Seifer didn't answer. He didn't know why he was being so quiet. He was usually loud, brash,
and even a little passive at times. He was feeling different, this summer. He didn't feel like the
same old Seifer. He felt like a Seifer that had nothing to say; like a Seifer that was empty inside;
like a Seifer that had something missing. Something... Something like... Something like-
"WWAAAAAHHH!!!!" As he turned the corner, he was abruptly knocked over by a girl.
They both fell to the ground, weird-looking jars and fruits spilling everywhere. Seifer shook his
head as his face furrowed in anger. He almost yelled at the rude girl, but stopped the second he
saw her face.
She was beautiful with her raven black hair and chocolate eyes. She wore an orange-pink
dress that fell a few inches above her ankles, revealing her brown boots. Over that, she wore a
black robe with large star and moon prints all over it, to match her black witches hat that had
moon and stars prints on it, too.
The girl gasped, "Oh, my stars and garters-I am SO sorry!" She stood up and pulled Seifer
up, "I'm really sorry-it's just that-well-I just got finished getting the ingredients to my latest project
for school and-uh-I j-I just wasn't paying attention and I- I-uh-are you alright?" stammered the
nervous girl.
"Uh..." Seifer was speechless. He had never before seen someone like her. She's perfect, he
thought. "It's okay..."
The girl looked stunned. She opened her mouth to reply, but quickly took notice to the spilled
contents in the bag she was carrying. "Oh no! My potion ingredients!" She kneeled down and
began examining the herbs and liquids to make sure nothing was broken. Seifer knelt down to
help her as she began mumbling things to herself and placing them back in the bags, Fujin and
Rajin staring at them, blankly.
"Great... Just great!" she mumbled to herself. "Finals are due next week-I just spent all of my
allowance-perfect! ...Ugh...! Oh no-and that was the last of the grounded Grendel scales...!" she
said, picking up a smashed vile that had held a golden-black powder. "Just perfect..."
"Y'know..." Seifer started, reaching into his pocket. "I fought a few Grendels while I was in
Centra and I have plenty of their scales..." The girl looked up at Seifer. "I don't need 'em, you
should have it. Sounds like you need it badly."
She shook her head violently, "Oh no-no-no, I couldn't, sir. I just couldn't. Not after knocking
you down like that... Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine," he said, taking her hand. He gave her the scales, "Sorry they aren't ground up, but
you can do that, right?" She nodded. "Good. By the way, if you wanna repay me, you can tell me
your name..." he said smoothly.
"Rinoa. ...My-uh- My name is Rinoa." she said with a nervous smile.
Phew! Not that bad for a Seifer/Rinoa fic. This is the first of a few more chapters I'll be adding
later on. In the meantime, please read and review! Thanks!
