Disclaimer: I don't own Selphie or Laguna or Irvine or Kiros . . . well you get the point.

Author's Notes: This is a beginning attempt to a Lagelphie or a Selphuna *giggles* Oh and it's
from Selphie's point of view.

I looked around the city in awe. I had only been to Esthar twice, possibly three times before. I
think even if I had been at this place a million times I'd still be amazed! The reason I was there
was simple. The Garden Festival was just around the corner and since Squall flat out refused to
be the speaker I decided Laguna would be perfect. He had the kind of charisma I was looking
for. I walked up to the guard standing in front of the Presidential Palace.

"'Scuse me, but I need to talk to President Loire." I tried not to bounce up and down
excitedly.

He looked at me curiously. "Is it a message from Garden?"

"Well . . . sort of."

"Right this way please." I sighed in relief and followed him happily. We took the lift up and he
walked me to Laguna's room. "The president should be inside."

"Thanks a bunch!"

I knocked on the door before entering. Not to long after that Kiros answered the door, Ward
not far behind him. They both smiled in recognition. "Hi Selphie. What are you doing here?"

"I came to talk to Laguna!"

"Ok come in." I walked in. Laguna was sitting at his desk, his head starting to nod forth in
sleep. Kiros gave a loud "Ahem!" and Laguna's head snapped up. He looked at me and
smiled.

"Hello Selphie."

I walked over to him and smiled. He was still as cute as he was in the flashbacks. "I came here
to ask you a question, a favor you could say."

"Sure! What is it?"

"Well you see . . . the Garden festival is coming up and we need a speaker . . . "

He smiled happily. "Say no more! I'd be glad to help."

In my excitement I ran up and hugged him. Since there was such a difference in height my head
was buried in his chest. I giggled and thanked him.

He pulled away from me. "When is the festival?"

I checked my boots in nervousness. It's a little habit I've grown accustomed to. "Well . . .
that's the problem. It's in two days."

Kiros, who was still in the room laughed. "You're really trusting him to come up with a
speech . . . in two days?"

Laguna looked annoyed. "It's not like this is my first speech. Remember the time in Dollet?"

"..." Ward said happily. Kiros laughed more. "Ward says he remembers that your leg got
cramped up and you fell off the sta–"

"–eh...that was a long time ago." Laguna said as he gave an embarrassed look.

I grinned. "Well there's no need to be nervous this time. It'll be so much fun! Also, I can help
you."

He put his arm around me and my heart fluttered. I knew it wasn't right to have these emotions
but it was something I couldn't help. I heard him talking to me and looked up.

"Huh?"

"I said you trust me . . . right?"

He looked at me with such hope in his eyes I almost had to laugh. "Of course I do!"

He smiled triumphantly at Kiros and Ward. I wondered what time it was and looked at my
watch. "When can we meet again to discuss this?"

He looked at his watch as well. "How about eight tonight?"

It's almost as if it's a date. I once again ignored my thoughts and nodded. "That'll be great!"

We talked a little longer before I left his office. As I boarded the Ragnarok I felt like I was
floating on a cloud. I sat down the Ragnarok not too far from Garden and was greeted by
Irvine. It was obvious he had been waiting for me. He greeted me with a kiss.

"How'd it go?"

I smiled triumphantly. "He agreed!"

Irvine gave me a warm hug. "I told you he would."

I pulled him away and looked up at him. He grinned before kissing me again, this time with
more feeling. He leaned down and whispered so only I could hear. "Do you want to yet?"

I blushed and looked around to see if anyone heard. No one seemed to be around. "Irvy . . .
you know I'm not ready."

"I'm just making sure." I nodded. It was a conversation we've had plenty of times before.
With that last thought in our mind we headed toward Garden.
