The Good Ol' Days 2
"Ok, here are my three favourite tapes, take your pick, Selphie's birthday, grocery shopping, or-" Cid got cut off before he could mention the third choice when Selphie shouted,
"My birthday!!!"
"Geez, calm down Selph." Zell clasped his hands over his ears, "I don't really need a broken eardrum."
"Ha ha, you're funny Zell." Selphie stuck her tongue out and yelped when Zell pulled her down to sit on his lap.
"It doesn't matter what we watch first, we have plenty of time." Quistis pointed out
"Alright, Selphie's birthday it is…" Cid replied and pushed the tape into the slot, a soft "Yay!" could be heard behind him which could only belong to Selphie.

"Happy Birfday to me! Happy Birfday to me!" a young girl sang, skipping across the room, she stopped once she spotted the camera. "Hiya Uncle Cid!" she greeted the screen
"Hi Selphie." Cid answered
"You wanna know somethin?" she giggled
"What is this something?"
"Today is a special day!" Selphie shouted in glee
"Oh really, does it have something to do with your birthday?"
"Yep! Yep! Yep! I'ma big girl now!"
"How old are you today?"
"Um, one, two, three, foor, five!" Selphie counted her fingers as she spoke
"Five? Already? Wow, you're really growing!" Cid exclaimed
"Uh huh, and Matwan told me she gots a surprise for me!" she whispered
"Really? What's the surprise?"
"If I told her then it wouldn't have been much of a surprise now would it?" Edea asked as she came into view. "Come to the backyard Selphie, you'll see your surprise."
"Yippee!" Selphie yelled and ran to the backyard, "Hey! There's nothin here!" she frowned into the camera
"Now, everyone!" Edea called out and everyone jumped out yelling, "HAPPY BIRFDAY SEFFIE!"
Selphie squealed as everyone crowded around her for a hug. Edea brought out a chocolate cake with five lit candles. Everyone sang "Happy Birthday" and when the song ended,
"Can I blow out the candles, Seffie?" Zell asked excitedly
"Zellie, it's Seffie's birthday, you should let her blow out the candles." Ellone told him
"Aww…ok." Zell sulked
"Don't worry Zellie, you can keep the candles after." Selphie smiled
"Make a wish!" Quistis shouted
Selphie thought for a minute, took a deep breath, and blew out all the candles. Edea told the children to go play while she cut the cake, Selphie decided to take the time to open her presents. She received a small chocobo figurine from Edea and Cid, from the rest of the children, they all pitched in to get her a yellow bunny soft toy, Quistis and Ellone also picked a bunch of wild flowers for her.
"Yay! Thank you!" Selphie yelled, obviously happy with her surprise, but little did she know, her biggest surprise was yet to come.
Seifer, Irvine, Zell, and Squall were playing a game of playful wrestling when Seifer had a great idea, he told the rest of the guys his plans,
"Why would we wanna do that?" asked Squall
"Yea, it's her birfday, that's mean." Zell answered
"Are you a chicken?" Seifer grinned
"No way! Don't call me that!"
"What are you gonna do? Go cry ta Matwan?"
"…No! At least, I um, don't like Quisty!" Zell blurted out
"What! I don't like Quisty!" Seifer shouted back
"Seify an' Quisty, sittin in a tree K-I-S-S…um what's after that Squally?"
"I-N-G." Squall told him
"Oh yeah, I-N-G!" Zell yelled
Irvine burst out laughing and Seifer fumed, he grabbed Irvine away and shouted, "I don't need you two chickens, me an' Irvy can do this without ya!"
Selphie was eating her cake when Seifer and Irvine decided to strike. They jumped out of their hiding place behind the bushes, took out their water guns and soaked Selphie from head to toe.
"Haha! Yea!" Seifer rejoiced and gave Irvine a high-five.
"Grr…" Selphie growled
"Uh oh, you guys gonna get it now." Squall smirked
Selphie grabbed a piece of cake in each hand and walked up to Irvine and Seifer and smashed the cake right into both of their faces.
With cake all over his face, Irvine turned to Seifer and asked, "Was that s'posed ta happen?"
"No! But the cake is yummy." Seifer replied
Edea gasped when she saw what condition Irvine, Seifer and Selphie were in, she glared at the camera, "Why didn't you stop any of this?"
"I wanted to see what would happen." Cid said innocently
"Oh wonderful, Cid." She sighed and went to clean up the mess
"So didya have fun Seffie?" Ellone asked
"Yup, but then Seify an' Irvy had ta make me all wet." Selphie frowned
"That's cuz they're a bunch of poopy heads." Quistis grinned
"Yea, but you got them all covered in cake." Ellone giggled
"Which was a waste of cake." Quistis remarked and laughed
*****
"You guys are so mean!" Selphie exclaimed, "I can't believe you would do that to me on my birthday!"
"Give us a break, we were six!" Seifer yelled
"Speak for yourself, I was five." Irvine chuckled
"At least Selphie got her revenge" Rinoa smiled
"Yup, never mess with Seffie on her birfday." Zell grinned as Selphie turned around and smacked him on the arm
"I think we should head back to Garden." Squall declared
"Aww, but we didn't finish watching the rest of the videos." Selphie pouted
"You're always welcomed to come by any time." Edea told them
"Of course we'll come back Matron, maybe we'll get the chance to watch the rest of the videos." Quistis assured her
"Next video: grocery shopping!" Selphie confirmed
End…for now. ^_^
