::Selphie happily skips into Squall's room::

Selphie: Booyaka! Hi Squally!

Squall: What is THAT?! ::noticing the strange object in her hand::

Selphie: That's my new pet rock! Rock this is your uncle Squall. Squall this is your new nephew.

Squall: ::being sarcastic:: I'm honored. I'd love to be an uncle, but of a rock?

Selphie: Is something wrong?

Squall: Not real-

Selphie: Well anyways, I have to go introduce Rock to the others, bye! ::leaves the room, and sees Irvine in the hall::

Selphie: Hey Irvine, meet your new nephew! Rock this is uncle Irvine! ::holding the rock in her palm up high so he could see it::

Irvine: That's.....great, but it's......a rock, Selphie. I DON'T WANT TO BE THE UNCLE OF A ROCK! I want to be able to play with my nephew.

Selphie: ::sweat drop:: You can play with him!

Irvine: No way.

Selphie: ::holds the rock close to her chest:: See, now you hurt his feelings!

Irvine: Rocks don't have feelings, Selphie.

Selphie: Well, mine does.

Irvine: ....right. Look Sef, it's been great talking to you, but I really gotta go, c'ya.

Selphie: But Irvine! Oh well. ::heads for the library:: ::walks over to Rinoa who is looking for a book::

Selphie: Rinoa!

Rinoa: Hi Sel.....what on earth is that?!!??

Selphie: Guess.

Rinoa: A rock.

Selphie: YES! And he's your nephew! Rock this is auntie Rinoa.

Rock:........

Selphie: Really?

Selphie: Cool!

Rock:........

Selphie: You hate your uncle?

Rock:.......

Selphie: Oh, uncle Irvine.

Rinoa: Selphie, are you talking to the rock?

Selphie: Ya, I hate her hair to.

Rinoa: Selphie?

Selphie: Your right, he is kinda cute!

Rinoa: SELPHIE!!!! ::the library falls quiet::

Selphie: ::gulp:: Yes?

Rinoa: I.........::blushes bright red when she notices every one in the library is staring at her::

Selphie: Uh-huh?

Rinoa: I......have to go, bye. ::exits the library::

Selphie: Wow! That was quick.

~Later in they afternoon~

::Selphie in the cafeteria with Quistis and Seifer::

Selphie: ::at the cash register:: Hi! I will have a hot-dog...and what do you want rock?

Rock:......

Lady at the cash register: Um...Are you talking to that rock?

Selphie: Yes, my psychologist told me it was a great idea to talk to someone that listens.

Lady at the cash register: Uh-Huh!

Selphie: Well he won't take anything cause the food is not low in fat.

Lady at the cash register: That will be 4 gil please.

Selphie: ::Hands over 4 gil and takes the hot dog:: Thank...you

::Joins Quistis and Seifer::

Quistis (whispering to Seifer): I heard that she has a pet rock.

Seifer( still whispering):Really?

Selphie: Hi Quistis!, Hi Seifer! ::holding her hot-dog in one hand and in they other one a cage::

Quistis and Seifer: O.o That's the rock!!!!!

Selphie: Not that! It's my hot-dog ::Takes the rock out of the cage:: There this is the rock..

Quistis(whispering at Seifer again): She's losing it! O_o

Selphie: Can I sit with you guys?

Quistis: Yes, just don't talk to your rock. Please...

Selphie: ::sits beside Quistis:: Okies, I won't...::puts the rock back in the cage::

Quistis:......

Seifer: So what did Irvine say about that rock?

Selphie: Oh...Irvine well not much, he was sad cause he wanted to play with it.

Quistis and Seifer: v_v'

Selphie: You know I would appreciate it if you guys could babysit--

Quistis: NO!

Seifer: I have a appointment with Dr. Ka--

Quistis: Me to!

Selphie: ::shrugs:: Oh well, I guess everyone is sick these days.

I'll just put ads for a baby-sitter...yea...baby-sitter ::smiles and walks out of the cafeteria::
