"What in the world?" Quistis started to back up to run. A large beast, taller then all of them combined, slithered out, its four heads like snakes, and eyes that were shaped like daggers. Each eye was a different color, and each head was its own thing. The large reptile boday, that had only a large tail to attach itself with the four heads. It was a large snake! "RUN!" Selphie heard Seifer urging her on to run faster. C'mon legs, make me faster! Selphie dodged the debris in her path, and tried to get to the Ragnorok before it was to late. Everyone else was already borded. "Selphie! Run faster" "Ah he Ah he.." Selphie took deep breaths. I can't run anymore....I'm out of breath....I need to stop... Selphie felt her eyes drift, and the sounds around her fade. The reptile was gaining, and Selphie was slowing down.

"What the hell is she doing??" Irvine asked. He watched her slow down, and the reptile gain. "She's gonna get killed!" "SELPHIE!" Zell screamed her name. "RUN! DON'T STOP NOW!" "We have to help her!" Quistis was about to get off, when Seifer pushed her back and jumped down from the ship. "If I'm not back within five minutes, leave." Seifer tilted his head, beore making a mad dash for Selphie. "Damn him!" Irvine was about to jump to, but Squall held him back. "Squall! Let me go! Selphie needs me." "She has Seifer." Squall closed his eyes and reopened them. "She doesn't have Seifer, she has me!" Irvine yelled, and tried to throw Squall back. "Get off of me, Squall." "No. You stay here, and that's an order!" Squall growled. "We can't loose another team member." "I hate you, Squall Leonhart." Irvine scowled and sat down, icy gaze at the floor. Zell and Quistis shot each other like an "uh-oh" look. "Fine,hate me, but at least you'll be safe." Squall turned and sat.

Selphie, why'd you stop?? Seifers thoughts rushed in his head like water in a stream. The snake lumbered so close, but its movement was slow. Seifer saw Selphie stop, her eyes roll in back of her head, and she started to fall backwards. No! Seifer felt a burst of energy as he ran towards her. Time seemed to stop, as Selphie landed softly into Seifers arms. He picked her up, and time regained itself. The snake was now on Seifers heel, as it was a race to the ship. Seifer felt as if he was given the stregnth, just to save her. "Seifer..seifer where are you..." Selphie murmered. He heard her, and held her closer. "I'm right here, Selphie. Right here." He rasped while he ran. "STTTTTTTzzzzzzzSSSSSTtZZZZZ" The snake hissed and thrashed at him. Seifer dodged before making that final leap, onto the ship. "GO!" and with that, the ship took off. They watched as the snake couldn't control itself, and slithered right off the edge, and splatted. "Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww," Zell looked away. Seifer smiled and looked down at Selphie, her head rested against his chest. He fell backwards, and breathed deeply. "Selphie!" Irvine lunged, and scooped right off of Seifers lap. He held her close, and heard her murmer something. "What is it Selphie?" "seifer...seifer...." Selphie chanted. Irvine's eyes grew wide. She wanted Seifer? From shock, he dropped part of her, but Seifer grabbed her. "She...she..." Irvine stuttered. "She wants Seifer?!" "Selphie?" Seifer ignored Irvine's rants, as he held her. Her eyes blinked open to look at his face. She smiled. "Seifer..." She breathed in, and sighed out. He smiled and carried her over to a chair, and sat down, with her in his arms. Selphie looked over at Irvine, who's eyes were now of full hatred. "Irvine...I'm..so.." "Don't speak to me, Selphie. Just...leave...me alone.." Irvine sat and crossed his arms. Selphies eyes looked like she was hurt. Seifer, turned her head towards him. "Selphie." Seifer said. She looked up at him, and he drew his face closer to hers. Seifer smiled, and kissed Selphie. She melted and kissed him back. (Little did they know of the audience that was there- Quistis and Zell...with a peeking Squall) "Selphie Tilmitt..I...love you.." "Seifer Almasy...I love you." Selphie grinned before screaming "BOO YAKA!" and fell out of a suprised Seifers arms. He chuckled, before turning a red color, and scratching the back of his head. She looked up and grinned at him. "Did I scare ya?" "Heh. I don't scare easily." Seifer regained his normal color, before turning his head up in the air. He glance back to see if she was looking...and she was! But she was right there, and as soon as he turned his head, she kissed him. "Booyaka." Selphie giggled, before sitting down next to him. Seifer couldn't help but grin as he put his arm around her.
