**Chapter Five** (Rinoa's POV)
"Hiyah, Quisty!" I greeted her as soon as she walked into the white room. For
the last few days she had been visiting Seifer, she and Quistis had formed a
friendship.
"Hello, Rinoa. Um...Irvine's not with you, is he?" asked Quistis timidly. I smiled.
"Nope! Today he's starting his new job as a security guard." I had taken
Irvine with me to a few of me visits so we could catch up on the years when he
had "disappeared." When Quistis came in to check on Seifer, Irvine
immediately wanted to know everything about her. "I'm a doctor too," he had said,
"A doctor of love." Irvine's flirting terrified her; I asked her why once, but she
became silent and it seemed as if she was in another world...another time.
"Good! I do not want to go through a whole day of Irvine's pick-up lines
again!" sighed Quistis, grinning.
"So...How is Seifer?" I asked. Quistis picked up some papers that were in a
folder on the bed. She looked at the papers, walked to the beeping machines, wrote
something in the papers and sighed. I knew what she was going to tell was going to
be bad news.
"I'm afraid his health is decreasing. He needs those operations-- soon,"
explained Quistis. I sighed.
"But I don't have enough money! How am I to pay that much?"
"Well...I knew that you didn't have enough money, so yesterday I begged the
people in charge of the hospital to let Seifer have the operations now and you can
pay the bill later. After LONG deliberation, they finally decided to let you pay now
and pay the rest later," explained Quistis, smiling. A delighted smile appeared on my
lips.
"Quistis! Thank you, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!" I hugged her; we
both started laughing. "This means so much to me, Quistis!"
"I know, but first, you need to sign this contract and give the money to the
receptionist, okay?" said Quistis, handing me the contract and a pen to sign it. I
quickly scrawled my signature on it and handed it back, feeling giddy.
"Well, I'm going to go prepare for his operation, okay? And don't come
tomorrow--he'll need to be alone after the operation," said Quistis walking out the
door. I quickly nodded my head. I turned to Seifer, who still had not awaken since
the accident.
"You're gonna be alright, Seifer. You're gonna live." (A.N. i know you seifer-
haters are going, "darn!" now. hehe)

"So, this Sefie-" started Irvine as we were in the elevator.
"Selphie," I corrected him. After Irvine came back, I wanted to introduce all
my friends to him. Maybe hook a girl with him...
"Er, right...She's pretty right?" asked Irvine. I smiled.
"Yup, she's VERY pretty," I answered. Irvine smiled and rubbed his hands
together.
"Alright! Can't wait!" he said. The elevator stopped and we walked to
Selphie's door. To my surprise, the woman who opened the door and greeted us was
not Selphie.
"Hello. You two must be Rinoa and-"
"Irvine Kinneas. Nice to see you, Sefie," greeted Irvine, taking the woman's
hand and kissing it lightly. The woman laughed softly.
"Sorry, Irvine, but I'm not 'Sefie' and I have a fiance," said the woman. Irvine
blushed and murmured "oops." Selphie came into the doorway.
"Hi, Rinny! Come in!" said Selphie enthusiastically. When I came in, I was
even more surprised when I saw Squall.
"Uh, hi Squall," I said nervously. He just nodded at me, acknowledging my
presence.
"Who's he?" asked Selphie, pointing towards Irvine who was sitting next to
her.
"Irvine Kinneas, you must be Sefie," said Irvine, grinning toothily. Selphie
smiled.
"Yup. Nice to meet ya!" said Selphie, grabbing his hand and shaking it with
vigor.
"Oh! I almost forgot, this is Ellone!" introduced Selphie. I smiled the woman,
remembering that Selphie had mentioned her before.
"Selphie told me that you worked as a social worker," said Ellone.
"Yea. What kind of job do you have?" I asked, continuing the conversation.
"I'm a psychiatrist. I help my patients recover lost memories," replied Ellone.
"Squall regained his memories of the past because of Ellone! Isn't that right?"
said Selphie. Squall just nodded lightly.
"Really? Can you help me remember my past? I have forgotten the years
when she was still alive," I said.
"...Of course..." I was bewildered when Ellone reached her hand out to me
and touched my head. She closed her eyes. My vision became blurry and my
surroundings and people around me became more and more vague until everything
was clear again. But I was no longer in Selphie's living room...
