Dreams Into Reality
Chapter Four: Poisoned
Selphie walked outside. Dark circles ringed her eyes. She hadn't fallen asleep since she'd waken up from
her dream. Quistis ran up to her. "Selphie? Where were you? You said you'd be waiting at the Quad because you
wanted to tell me something!"
"...sorry...Irvine stole my nunchakus. I ran after him to get it back. Then Zell lectured me for half an hour
and I finally got back to my dorm. I was so tired, I forgot about meeting you at the Quad."
"Did you get any sleep last night?" Quistis asked worriedly. "Look at those rings under your eyes!"
"I'm fine."
"Ok, well, since it's 12, why don't you come with me to eat lunch?"
Selphie followed her to the cafeteria half-heartedly. She ordered a hamburger and chewed thoughtfully.
"Know what? I had a really weird dream last night about Zell telling me that Irvine was trying to use me to turn
against the others so he could kill them. So weir--"
"ATTENTION ALL SeeD MEMBERS, REPORT TO HEADMASTER CID'S OFFICE IMMEDIATELY."
The speakers blared.
Quistis sighed. "Tell me later, ok? I think we have another mission."
~ At Headmaster Cid's Office~
"We have received notice that there is a new species of the T-Rexaur. It is killing people everywhere and
is very dangerous. You must kill it immediately." Cid informed them.

The seven SeeD members went off on the Ragnorak to terminate the T-Rexaur. "Be careful, everyone."
Squall told them. Selphie used GFs, spells, everything she possibly could, but the poisonous reptile whacked its
venomous tail at her, sending her propelling into the ocean.
"Selphie!" Irvine ran after her.
By the time the other five SeeDs finished off the T-Rexaur, Irvine and Selphie had disappeared.

Selphie's vision slowly cleared as she sat up from the soft, green grass she was lying on. "Irvine?" She
said slowly. "You brought me here?"
"Yeah, be careful. You're poisioned." He walked away.
"Where are you going?!" She asked, not wanting to be left alone in an unknown place.
"I'll be back by dawn. Stay here."
She lay back down and fell asleep. As the sun was just about starting to rise, she heard footsteps and
propped herself up on her elbows to see who it was. "Irvine..." she said weakly.
"Drink this." He handed her a cup.
She drank it and coughed. "What is that?"
"So you eat it first and then ask me what it is? That means you still trust me, don't you."
Selphie turned away.
