AN: A really short note from me for once! Sorry it's taken me so long to update. I know you guys wanted more Zelphie, so here it is! Sorry Seiftis fans, not much for you here, but just wait.

Selphie found a new vocal instructor by the end of the week. Rehearsals were much more pleasant after that, aside from the fact that Seifer was being crueler towards Quistis than usual, his normal jibes turning into vicious remarks. She had nearly burst into tears several times had it not been for Tom. He was very sweet-their date had gone well-and now they were barely seen without the company of each other. Ellone had come and they had had a small party, and Quistis was mainly focusing on learning lines and blocking. Thankfully, Selphie had seen it fit to not have too much contact between the two leads during the rehearsals, but right now she was getting a little pissed off at them both.

"Look, I've been letting you two off easy in the past two weeks but now it's time for you both to grow up! I'm trying to run two plays at once here and the two of you are not making it any easier for me! I don't care what the problem is just get over it and do what I say!"

Seifer lifted an eyebrow as Quistis blinked.

"Ten minute break people!" Selphie continued, and at once the entire quad was cleared of people fearing Selphie's wrath. The hyper active girl had never, ever, blown up like that before. Where exactly they had all gone, no one knew.

Selphie also stomped off, leaving the quad, leaving Quistis and Seifer staring after her. After she was out of sight Quistis turned to Seifer, eyes flashing with anger. She was completely fed up with him, and she couldn't take it anymore.

"What the @#$% is your problem?!" She yelled, and he looked momentarily taken aback by her choice of words. Quistis had never said that word before, and he didn't even think she knew it existed. He recovered fast.

"My problem?!" He gave her an incredulous look, then "You don't remember, do you?"

Quistis looked visibly confused. "Remember what?"

He gave a hoarse laugh. "What the hell Trepe! You really did have too much to drink that night!"

Her eyes became wide and panicked as a horrible thought entered her mind. "We didn't….?"

"Please!" He scoffed, "Me, with the ice queen?"

Quistis looked relieved and for a fraction of a second Seifer's ego deflated slightly. Then she glared at him. "So if we didn't sleep together what is it then that's making you act like more of an a**hole than you already are?!"

"That made no sense, instructor."

"What?"

"Anyway, you want to know what my problem is?" He sneered, taking a step towards her so that he towered over her slim form.

She glared up at him, unmoving. She wouldn't let him use his size to dominate over her. "What's your problem Seifer," she asked in a monotone voice very similar to Squall's.

He smirked at her. "Figure it out. Try to remember." He stepped away from her and folded his arms across his chest.

"That's it? That's all you're going to say?" She asked, annoyed.

"Since when am I in charge of your memory?"

"You could just tell me, considering whatever it was that I did is bothering you so much."

Seifer was sick of the whole situation. "Tell you what, you leave me alone and I'll leave you alone."

"WHAT?!" Quistis yelled, outraged. "I haven't done anything to you!" She paused. "At least that I'm aware of."

His eyes darkened. "Take it or leave it."

"Fine!" Quistis snapped, though the deal didn't make much sense. "But I'm only doing it for the sake of the musical," she added, still glaring at him.

"Is there any other reason that I would agree to it?" Seifer asked, causing her glare to deepen.

Quistis didn't know what to say to that, and with one last look of disgust she walked off the stage and took a seat. Everyone should be back soon. Where had they all gone, anyway?

* * *

Selphie was singing merrily at a table in the cafeteria. "La la la la la la la la!"

She had said that the break would only be ten minutes, and she fully expected that everyone would be returning to the Quad soon for rehearsal, but she would not be joining them. No one else was in the cafeteria except for the lunch ladies, and she sat there singing to herself. She hadn't gone crazy, no not all; she was just a little stressed out. She had two plays to run, and the leads of one of them were at each other's throats. Well not so much Quistis, but she gave back as good as she got.

Ten minutes had gone by, but still Selphie remained in the cafeteria, her singing getting louder. "La la la la la la la la lalalalalalalalalalaaaaaaaaaa!"

Five more minutes passed.

Selphie was doing a jig on top of the table, and the cafeteria ladies didn't dare say anything to her because they were too frightened. It was at this point that she was paged on the intercom, asking her to go to the quad. She did not go, and instead she got off the table and got a couple of hotdogs and then returned to her table, eating one hotdog while dancing with the other.

Another five minutes went by, and she was still dancing on the table. Squall walked in then, looking for her, as he was unlucky enough to be nominated to find her. He took one look at her before swiftly backing out of the room.

A few minutes later Zell and Irvine walked in. Irvine raised an eyebrow and Zell's eyes welled up with tears.

"Hotdogs!" He yelled, but before he could reach Selphie she had swallowed her dancing partner in two large bites. She hopped off the table.

"Sorry Zell, but I don't think you'd have wanted it anyway. It's been dancing with me, tee hee!" She giggled at him as his head and shoulders slumped over in defeat. "Those were the last ones, too."

He sighed. "Couldn't you have brought me one?"

"I was too busy dancing!" She said excitedly.

"Why were you dancing on the table, Sefie?" Irvine asked, walking over slowly.

"'Cause it's fun!" She answered, nodding her head profusely. After a second she stopped nodding and held her head. "Whoa, woozy-ness!"

"Is it really that fun?" Zell asked, looking curiously back and forth between Selphie and the table.

A smile slowly crept across Irvine's face. "Hey Sefie, why doncha dance some more for me?"

For one brief second Selphie looked excited, but then she put her hands on her hips and made face at him that was a cross between a glare and a pout. "No way. I know what you're thinking Irvy!"

He looked surprised. "You do?"

"Well, no, but I'm sure it's not good whatever it is!" Selphie replied, and she glared at him some more while Zell looked at the two, completely confused.

After a moment of trying to win her over by smiling charmingly at her, Irvine finally said, "Don't you think you should be at rehearsal?"

Selphie smiled slyly. "Maaaaybeeee!"

Irvine lifted an eyebrow. What was up with her? The plays meant everything to her, just like the Garden Festival. He glanced at Zell who shrugged in return.

"But first," Selphie began, giggling, "Tag, you're it!" She lunged at Zell, smacked his shoulder, and ran off. Before Irvine could say anything at all, Zell was already chasing after her and out the door. He sighed. Zell was pretty d### lucky.

* * *

When Irvine entered the Quad moments later, all heads turned toward him. Where was Selphie? Everyone wanted to know. Squall and Quistis reached him first.

"Where's Selphie? And Zell?" Quistis asked, noticing that Zell had not returned with him.

Irvine chuckled. "They're playing tag."

"Tag?" Squall repeated, frowning.

"I have no explanation for it," Irvine replied, adjusting his hat with a sigh.

Quistis smiled, seemingly feeling much better after her argument with Seifer. "I think it's cute," she said, causing the two males to look at her in confusion. "Selphie likes Zell," she explained, "and I think he likes her too."

This short explanation left both men looking shocked. "Well they're both single, and as much as I like Amia, she hasn't made a move on Zell, and you never managed to get Selphie to go out with you," Quistis added, poking Irvine in the chest.

"That's not what we were thinking," Irvine replied. "We're fine with that, I mean, I've kind of given up on Selphie ever liking me as much as I like her, and I have noticed the extra attention she gives him." Squall nodded in agreement.

"Then why are you two looking so shocked?" Quistis asked. It was her turned to be confused.

"Because," Squall answered, "we were thinking, what will the kids be like?" He and Irvine both shuddered and Quistis burst into laugher. Meanwhile…

Selphie was running out of breath. Zell had caught her, tagged her back, and then taken off, and she had been chasing after him all over Garden. She wouldn't have been so out of breath if she hadn't been laughing at the same time. It was funny how Zell managed to trip over people but still maintain his speed. They hadn't been yelled at either; which was most likely because the disciplinary committee was at rehearsal, like they should be at the moment.

Selphie suddenly stopped running and darted behind a conveniently placed plant. Zell continued to run around the center circle, thinking Selphie was still chasing him. He got confused when he gave a quick look behind him and she wasn't there, and he slowed to a walk as he passed by the library. That was when Selphie jumped out from behind him and tackled him to the ground.

"WHOO HOO!" She shouted victoriously, holding onto his legs.

"Ugh…" Zell grumbled, rubbing his nose as he sat up. He had smacked it hard on the floor when he had fallen.

"Do ya give up?" Selphie asked, releasing him. She sat on her knees beside him, watching him.

"I give up," he said, and Selphie looked disappointed at first.

But then, "Booyaka!" She threw her hands into the air. Noticing Zell wasn't sharing her excitement she looked at him curiously, "Are you okay?" He was still rubbing his nose.

"Yeah. I just kind of banged my nose on the floor when you tackled me."

"Oooooh. I'm sorry," she said, and she smiled at him as his hand finally left his nose. They were still sitting on the floor. Then Selphie did something that completely caught Zell by surprise. Selphie lunged forward and planted a kiss on his nose. "All better!" She proclaimed, then ran off to the Quad. Zell sat there for a few minutes, completely stunned. And then he grinned goofily, stood up, and walked after her. He would never wash his nose again.

AN: I've decided I don't much like this fic, because it could have been written much better if I had really taken the time to do so. I'm gonna try to make it better from now on, if everyone still wants me to continue it. Let me know! Hope ya liked the Zelphie! I did my best…. Sigh. REVIEW!
