Chapter 4
Erika walked out of her room and into the hall to find Squall. As she turned the corner she was shocked to see the battle unfolding in front of her eyes, her eyes darted around the hall till they rested on Zell and Irvine, back to back trying to fight off a pair of rather large monsters. She rushed over to them.
Zell saw Erika running towards them, he gave the monster one swift punch that knocked it out, then ran over and grabed Erika into his arms
"you are comming with me, you are not staying in this battle zone", he dragged her towards the lift where Seifer was trying to keep the junior classmen in order,
"you go with him and help keep the younger ones under control", he leaned forward and kissed Erika on the cheek, then spun on his heels and headed back into all the action.
Seifer grabbed Erikas arm, "common you, don't want ya to get hurt, take the juniors to the second floor classroom, i'll send up more soon". Erika got into the lift and continued to watch Zell with wide eyes as the doors closed.
Later on that evening, after all the fighting had stopped, Erika, Selphie and Rinoa were helping to tidy up the mess that was left behind after the battle. Erika turned to Selphie, "was Zell hurt during the battle?"
Selphie straightened up and rubbed the back of her neck, "Not that i know of, only a handfull were injured and none of them were serious I do know that Squall was one of them but he has been in worse battles before". Irvine and Zell walked over to the hard working group, "Evening lovey ladies" Irvine said as he took Selphie into his arms and kissed her deeply, Zell walked over to stand beside Erika "I'm sorry but we can't go out tonight, Squall said the Garden won't be operational till tomorrow morning", Erika sighed, she put down the broom and headed back towards her dorm, "Hey it doesn't really matter ya know? i had some studying to do anyway and........"Erika stoped and ran back to her dorm. Selphie broke free from Irvines embrace and went after her. Zell ran a hand through his spiked blond hair and turned to Irvine and Rinoa, "You guys got any suggestions as to what i can do to make it up to her?"
Irvine took off his hat and tugged at his hairband till his hair came free, tumbling down his shoulders, He looked thoughtful for a second then looked at Rinoa and grinned, "Tell Selphie to meet me and Rinoa in the quad in half an hour". Zell gave Irvine a puzzled look, then nodded his head and went to find Selphie.
Selphie ran down the the quad as fast as she could, once she got there she noticed that Irvine and Rinoa were sitting up on the stage, Irvine was writting things on a notepad and Rinoa was pointing to it a few times. She bounded up to the two "Whats going on? Zell said you need to talk to me", Irvine looked up from the notepad and flashed Selphie his sexiest smile, that smile always seemed to melt her heart. "I have an idea to get those two together", he swung his arms around Selphie and Rinoas shoulders and pulled then in closer, "here's what we will do....."
