Seifer moaned. He felt like he had gone through hell or worse. His body ached and his head throbbed more the usual. Am I dead? No I hurt to much to be dead....Where am I? Seifer sat up and looked around. Dang, looks like a prison. Did I get arrested? Aww man, now I'll never be a SeeD...Not with the way I keep getting arrested.
"Ugnh......." a girls soft voice moaned in pain. Seifer just relized where he was: wherever Rinoa took him and Selphie...Selphie! That must've been her. Seifer stood up, swaying a bit...
"Selphie?" he murmered groggily. He could here her crying.
"Sniff My arms....legs...can't sniff feel anything.." she muttered. He was frantic for a bit, but remained calm.
"Don't worry, I'll find a way to get us out of here, just hang on for a little while longer...don't worry Selphie, everything's going to be okay.." Seifer reassured her. She wiped her tears away.
"Oh no it's not." Rinoas voice echoed through the prison hallway. "My,my, look what I caught. A whimpering girl and my handsome knight."
"What?!" Seifer exclaimed. "Rinoa!"
"Sweet Seifer, you haven't forgotten me." Rinoa removed a red mask that once belonged to Edea. Seifer checked her out. Man she looks so hot,even for an evil sorceress hag Rinoa placed her hands on Seifers face. "You are going to be my knight, nothing more, nothing less."
"No!" Seifer growled through gritted teeth, Rinoa smirked and walked over to Selphie's cell, closed her eyes and raised her hands. Selphie immedietly started to float, but she was uncoincess. Rinoa unlocked the door and made Selphie float in front of Seifer.
"If you don't, little Selphie here is going to pay. You wouldn't want your sweet Selphie hurt, now would you? Hm? I see the way you look at her, Seifer. Her big, pretty eyes, and her obnoxious personality make you tingle all over. Doesn't she look so innocent? Like a rabbit? Do you think she'll accept you, Seifer? Did you think she would leave Irvine for YOU? Of all people! My,my..." Rinoa giggled.
"Shut up! I never said that she would! Leave her alone, Rinoa." Seifer hissed. Rinoa's eyes turned a shade of red and Selphie started to jolt, like she was being eletrocuted. "Selphie!!!"
"Seif-er?AHHH!!!" Selphie fell to the ground, not moving. Seifer lunged for her.
"Selphie! Say something!"

"Hurry it up!" Irvine shouted at the conductor of the train. "My woman's in trouble, and I gotta go save her!"
"The train only goes so fast, Irvine." Zell told him. He picked Zell up and threw him against the wall.
"She's in trouble, don't you see it? She needs me!"
"She has Seifer, don't worry." Squall explained. Irvine spatted out more cusses before retreating to his thoughts.
"I hope they are okay....What will Rinoa do with them? Where could she be?" Quistis asked. Squall pondered.
"We'll go to Trabia and search for clues. Maybe that nun that was on t.v has some useful information of Rinny's wherabouts.." Squall murmered.
"Good idea. Conductor, to Trabia!" Zell threw a fist into the air and they set off.
***********
"Looks barren." Quistis muttered, looking around the snow encrusted area. Irvine searched around for anything of Selphies.Nothing. Though he did find a tic-tac and offered it to Zell, who took that quite personally. Quistis giggled and followed Squall to the nuns house.
"Excuse me, are you the nun who were talking to Selphie and Seifer?" Quistis asked. The old lady looked up and smiled. Quistis looked away real quick at Squall, who also had noticed the side of her face was burnt.
"Why yes I am." the lady looked down and started knitting. "Selphie was such a sweet dear, wouldn't hurt a fly unless it provoked one of her friends...sucha kind girl, very thoughtful, even to the man who was accomping her. He seemed so...lost."
"Yes, Selphie is nice.." Squall muttered. "And Seifer is just-"
"Unique." Quistis finished. Squall gave her a look. "Do you know where they might have gone?"
"With that evil wretched, vile woman Rinoa. Stole 'em up and screeched something about 'my home, my palace.'" the women smiled and closed her eyes. Squall went to shake her, but she softly started to snore.
"Let's go get the others and figure out this mystery." Quistis pulled Squall out of the womans home. Zell and Irvine walked over to them and shrugged.
"Nothing here, did you guys find out something?" Zell asked.
"The nun said that Rinoa said something about her home and a palace.." Quistis explained.
"Palace? Rinoa doesn't have a palace!" Irvine exclaimed. Squall sighed.
"Never the less, we have to find out where she is hiding and what she is up to." Squall commented. Quistis nodded.
"Let's determine what that wench did to my Selphie.." Irvine glared...Squall shrugged. If Irvine cared so much for Selphie, then why didn't he....I'm not going to finish that thought.
"........" Squall and the others boarded the train, looking for more answers.

I remember the first time I saw her cry Selphie was sitting on a rock down by the shore. The waves crashed about a few feet from her. I walked down the narrow path, nearly tripping on the small stones. She was sniffling. This was also the first time I saw her hurt
"Selpheee...what's wrong?" I asked. She cradled her hand close to her, and kept her head low. I jumped down onto a rock by her, to examine the wound.
"N-sniff nothing, Seify...Don't sniff worry about sniff it." she mumbled through sniffles. I took her hand in mine and looked at it. She had a long scratch on the downside of her fist, and was bleeding pretty badly.
"How did this happen?" I asked. Maybe we were 8, 9 even. This wasn't to long before she was adopted and then we left...for Balamb She looked up, her once gorgeous eyes were red and pufy.
"I cut myself on a seashell. Hurt, too." she explained to me. this next part is fuzzy, but I think I remember most of it I took off my bandana from my wrist, Hey, I remember that! I stole it from Chicken-wuss and tied it around my wrist and covered her wound up with it.
"Is that better?" I asked. She let out a small smile and nodded. I helped her up the steep slope to Matron, so she could take a look at it."Matron, Selphie hurt herself."
"Selphie,dear, let me take a look at that." Matron bandanged and cleaned the wound and Selphie came back out of the house.
"It's a bit better, but it still stings." she reported to me. I took her hand and kissed it.
"How about now?" I asked. She smiled and hugged me.
"You're my best friend, Seify."
"And you're mine, Selphy."
