Chapter 19: Saved

A gunshot rang throughout the air, and Rinoa gasped, clutching her chest. She stumbled forward a few feet, and fell over. Selphie backed away and stood up, trying to see who was there.

Suddenly, five familiar faces appeared."You guys!" Selphie cried as she rushed towards them, hugging each of them tightly. "Irvy, you saved my life!!!!"

The cowboy blushed. "Ahhh... It was nothing."

Squall slowly walked over to Rinoa, and checked her pulse. "She's dead.." he whispered.

"Great," Ceres whined, "Now, how are we gonna find the Headmaster?!" She punched Irvine on his shoulder, "You weren't supposed to KILL her... Just.... imoblize her!"

Irvine shrugged, "Sorry. I'm not used to missing."

Ceres rolled her eyes. Suddenly there was a groaning noise heard from behind some bushes. They looked at each other, and Zell walked over to the bushes, and grinned. "Well, we don't have to worry about it. Here's the Headmaster."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. "Is he hurt?" Quistis asked.

"Somewhat," Zell replied, "But I think he'll live."

Quistis nodded. "Alright. Hey, you two!" she called out to some students who had just walked in, "Just don't stand there, go get an ambulance!!!"

The two nodded and ran off. Selphie and Seifer looked at each. Selphie gave him a weak smile, and Seifer slowly leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips, "Not too bad, Ditz.." he whispered, "Not too bad.."

Ceres rested her head on Zell's shoulder. "It's over..." she whispered, "It's finally over..."
