Funny thing, the simplest things never seem to go right for me. All I wanted was a simple date, something that wasn't too fancy, but still had meaning. There are so many beautiful girls out there, but Selphie is special. All I wanted to do was spend some time alone together.
Now, how the hell did end up, my arms wrapped around this guy's feet, the only thing keeping us from falling off the side of the cliff is his spear. I'm just lucky that I didn't lose my cowboy hat in the fall.
"Uh, Cid, do you have any idea how we are going to get out of this mess you got us into?" I asked.
"Mess I got us into, damnit kid, one more peep out of you and I will drop you."
Well, at least Cid is good conversation. You know, he is nothing like Headmaster Cid, but in this situation I think that's a good thing.
I guess it all really started when Selphie and I went out for a walk outside the garden. It was nice, just the two of us, holding hands, laughing, joking. I fact, I lost track of time, the date was going so well. But after a while, we wondered off to a spot I don't think I have ever been to.
"Irvine, I want to tell you how happy I have been today," Sephine said as she turned to face me. "I was thinking, you know we have been together for a little while and …."
We both sensed it, that is why she stopped mid-sentence. No this wasn't about how we felt, something was wrong, something inside me was telling me that we were in danger, Selphie must have sensed it too.
How something 8 feet tall can hide, well I don't know, but they did, they hid so well that we walked right into the trap they must have set for us. This thing looks like a big robot and before I can get Exeter out of its holster, it picks me up with one arm and flings me, oh I say about 10 feet before I hit the ground. I landed on my back and ended up rolling a couple of times. The whole world was spinning but all I could think of was Selphie. I clumsily drew Exeter, and tried to take aim. By then Selphie was trying to fight back, but when she pulled her nunchucu back to hit one of the robots, another came up behind her and yanked on it real hard. She must have hit the ground incredibly hard, because she didn't really move to get up. I was trying to aim, but everything kept going in and out of focus, and I might accidently shoot Selphie. I was breathing hard, sweat was running down my face and my hands didn't seem to want to stay steady.
I was going to have to rush these robots, but as I rose to get up, these two foul smelling creatures literally rose out of the ground to block my path. I'm not sure how I did it, I guess I wasn't really thinking, but since they were so close, I couldn't miss. I swung Exeter to the left, firing from my hip the first creature took a blast right in the chest. By then the other one was almost close enough to grab me. I shoved the barrel Exeter right under its chin, and squeezed the trigger. As it feel backwards, I noticed that the world was coming a little more into focus. Unfortunately, there wasn't much for me to focus on; one of those machines obviously carrying Selphie was already gone, and the other one was going to try to leave me with a going away present. It shot some sort of beam or laser from its shoulders, all I could do was run for cover. When the firing stopped, obviously it was gone, as well as my Selphie.
The only good thing was that those things left some tracks, so for the time being, the only thing I could do was follow, so I did.
