Disclaimer: Until I conquer Sqauresoft I don't own Final Fantasy or anything to do with it except what I harbor in my obsessive dreams.
A/N: Damn this took me a long time to get around to. Sorry about that. I had my midterms and everything so my time has been consumed. I've finally gotten to it though. Here goes.
Iris had gotten finished editing her little home movie. All she had to do was make it to where the video ended right after D.W.'s little goodbye kiss. She knew he had made one of the biggest mistakes of his life by doing that, but since the mistake was in her favor it just made her that much happier. She was completely satisfied with her devious little plot. She took her camera and headed for Selphie's room.
Meanwhile in Selphie's room...
D.W. and Selphie were sitting on her couch in eachother's arms. There was only one thing left that D.W. knew he had to do before he would be totally happy with himself. That was to tell Selphie the truth about Iris. He wasn't going to tell her about the kiss, though. He didn't think that would make the situation any better, but somewhere in the back of his mind he knew he would regret not telling her. He just shook it off as his imagination.
"There's something I want to tell you, Selphie,"D.W. started,"about Iris."
"What is it?"she asked.
"Well, what I didn't tell you when you first met her was...,"D.W. hesitated, but continued,"she used to be my girlfriend. If things hadn't ended the way they had she would have probably been my fiancee, but it's been over for a long time now and I want you to understand that it is you and only you that I love and it is only you that I want to be with."
Selphie was shocked. She had known that there was more to their relationship than what D.W. had revealed, but she wasn't expecting that. She did believe D.W., though. She was also touched by his words about her. She wasn't really mad at him at all. She knew it wasn't as if he had cheated on her.
"I understand, D.W.,"Selphie said,"and if your relationship ended badly I can also understand why you were hesitant to tell me. But I don't want you to keep anymore secrets from me, alright?"
"I promise,"D.W. said, relieved. He had definitely not expected for things to go that well. That just made him feel even luckier to have Selphie.
They sat there in silence for a while before there was a knock on the door.
"Come in,"Selphie said.
Iris walked in. She was holding her video camera.
"What do you want, Iris?"D.W. asked.
"I came here to see Selphie,"she replied.
"What is it?"Selphie asked with a little bit of attitude behind her words. Now that she knew about Iris and D.W.'s previous relationship she wasn't too comfortable with her.
"I wanted to show you something. From one woman to another. I wouldn't want you to get hurt any worse than you have to, especially since you were so naive about D.W.,"she said.
"What are you talking about?"Selphie asked icily.
"Allow me to show you with my handy video camera here,"she said moving over to the television. She hooked up the camcorder into the TV. She hit play.
"Just watch this,"she said.
The picture came up and it showed Iris sitting on D.W.'s bed. D.W. began to sweat. He had no idea she had videotaped the scene. He had really backed himself into a corner this time. The scene played through, showing the kiss then it stopped. Iris pushed stop on the camera. Selphie had tears in her eyes.
"Selphie,"D.W. said in a pleading tone,"that's not exactly what happened. That was a goodbye kiss. I was trying to conquer my demons with Iris. You have to believe me."
"Oh do I?"Selphie asked starting to get angry,"You said that things had been over with Iris for a long time now. What about that? I believed you then and look what happened. How am I supposed to believe you now? There's no excuse for you cheating on me anyway!"
At this she got up and ran out of the room. D.W. got up and ran after her completely forgetting that Iris was even there. When he was out of the room, Iris smiled.
Selphie ran. She knew D.W. was chasing her, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was getting away from him and getting away from everyone. When she watched that video and when she saw D.W. kiss Iris like that, her heart shattered. It felt like someone had stabbed her a million times in her chest.
She didn't know where she was running to. She saw the sign for the training center so she decided she was going to head there. She figured it would be the best place to lose D.W. She would just hide out in the secret area for a while.
D.W. chased Selphie. He didn't know what he was going to say to her when he caught up with her, but that didn't matter. All that mattered was catching up to her. He didn't want to lose the greatest thing in his life just because he made a stupid mistake. He had already lost one love and he wasn't about to lose this one, his true one.
He noticed Selphie was heading for the training center. What he also noticed that she didn't seem to was that she didn't have a weapon. He knew it would be very dangerous if both of them went in there unarmed, so he decided that it would be best if he quickly went and got his swallow. Reluctantly, he turned around and ran back towards his room.
Ace sat in his spot in the empty secret area. He didn't care how long he had to wait, with the money he was going to make there was no way he was going to let this one go. He stared out into the training center, waiting.
Suddenly, he noticed movement outside. He moved towards the doorway and noticed that it was a girl. He recognized her. Her picture was in a profile that was mailed to him about D.W. The contract said that he would get a bonus if he killed her too.
He pulled out his automatic hand gun. He couldn't believe how lucky he was. Not only would he get the bonus for killing her, but he knew that when D.W. saw her dead he wouldn't be able to fight back as well. It was like killing two birds with one stone...
D.W. had grabbed his swallow and he was already heading back to the training center. He had to get there before Selphie got attacked by a T-Rexaur, unprepared.
Selphie was walking through the training center looking for a place to hide. She was not only looking to hide from D.W., but from the T-Rexaurs and Grats. She realized right after she entered the training center that she hadn't brought a weapon.
She heard footsteps behind her. She turned around to see a grungy looking blonde man holding a hand gun. She didn't recognize him from around the garden and he made her nervous. Especially since she didn't have a weapon.
"Selphie Tilmett?"the man asked.
"Y-yes,"Selphie stuttered.
The man raised the gun.
"I'm supposed to kill you,"he said like it was nothing.
D.W. ran into the training center. The first thing he saw was a man pointing a gun at Selphie. He could tell by the look of him that he was a contract killer. Selphie was unarmed. D.W. knew what he had to do. He broke into sprint.
Selphie cringed at the man's words. She knew her time had come. She closed her eyes. She heard the bang and prepared for the pain, but it didn't come. She felt something fall on top of her, knocking her to the ground. She opened her eyes to see D.W. He was bleeding profusely from his left shoulder area. His teeth were clinched in pain.
There was a crack. Selphie looked over D.W.'s shoulder and saw that the man lay unconscious. Iris stood over him, holding a metal rod.
Selphie didn't worry about that for more than a second. She turned her attention back to D.W. Selphie started to cry when she saw the severity of his wound. He had taken the bullet that was meant for her. He really did love her.
"S-selphie...please...forgive me...I...love you...more...than...life...itself,"D.W. said weakly.
"I forgive you, D.W.! Please don't leave me! I love you!"Selphie screamed desperately.
D.W. smiled. That was all he ever needed to hear. Selphie saw his eyes close.
"Noooo!"Selphie screamed.
Iris ran over towards them. She checked his pulse.
"He's alive, but he's unconscious. We have to get him to the infirmary,"Iris said.
"Why are you helping us?"Selphie asked.
"I'll explain it later. We can't carry him ourselves. Irvine!"
"Yeah!"Irvine shouted running up
"Help us carry him,"Iris said.
The three of them picked up D.W. and rushed him to the infirmary...
Well that's it for now...Will D.W. survive? Why are Iris and Irvine helping? What will happen to Ace? Will I ever get a life? Find out next time.
