A/N: A bit shorter than the first, and not as good, I think, but please
read and review!
"Irvy, I don' wanna leave!" Selphie said hysterically. "I wanna stay here
with you!"
She turned to Edea and stomped her foot. "I won't go!"
"Selphie," Edea said gently, "The Tilmitts want you to come live with them
very much. You
wouldn't want to hurt their feelings by not going, would you?"
"Can't Irvy go?" the little girl pleaded.
"I'm sorry, Selphie, but no."
Edea wished with all her heart that there was some simple solution to this
dilemma. Selphie and
Irvine had always been inseperable, from the time they toddlers,
practically.
But the Tilmitts
onlywanted Selphie. And another family wanted Irvine.
"Bye, Irvy," Selphie called sadly as Edea led her to the room where the
Tilmitts were waiting. "I'll
miss you."
*************************************************************************
Selphie sat between her new parents during the train ride to their home.
Mr.
and Mrs. Tilmitt
were an older couple, and lived in Dollet. They told her that they had
several acres of land, and animals.
"You'll love it with us," they promised.
But Selphie wasn't so sure.
*************************************************************************
Selphie eventually became used to living with the Tilmitts, but never
forgot the orphanage. She was sure that if she could only join Garden, she
could find the others, or at the very least Cid and Edea.
"Please, can't I go to Garden?" She smiled up at her adoptive father.
"Please?" she repeated, hopefully.
"When you're older," was always the answer.
*************************************************************************
Selphie gaped at Galbadia Garden. It was huge! It was bigger than any
other
building that she
had ever seen.
The Tilmitts had finally given in to Selphie's pleading and cajoling, and
when she turned nine,
allowed her to attend Galbadia Garden. Selphie quickly settled into life
at the Garden.
"Today, class," began the Instructor, one day several months after Selphie
had come to the
Garden, "we will learn about GF's. GF's - or Guardian Forces - are
Elemental
monsters, and
can be very useful during battle. They can be Junctioned --"
Selphie quickly began to doze off. She didn't really care about GF's. It
might be interesting to
actual junction and use one, but listening to an Intructor drone on and on
about the more
technical details of GF junctioning was actually quite dull.
Suddenly the PA system crackled to life. "Would Selphie Tilmitt please
report to the
Headmaster's office?"
The Intructor glanced at Selphie. "You are excused. Please hurry back to
class."
Selphie gathered her books and quickly found her way to the Headmaster's
office. He looked
up as she entered and indicated a chair.
Selphie couldn't think of any reasons why the Headmaster would want to see
her she had done
less than perfectly on her tests lately, but not that badly.
"Selphie," Headmaster Martine began, "as you may know, a Garden was
recently
built in
Trabia. Galbadia has decided to send several students there, since it has
become overcrowded
lately. You have been chosen as one of those students."
