The next day…
Selphie woke up with a huge smile on her face. She did her daily morning rituals of getting ready and walked to her first class. She sat down at her desk and watched Squall come in. He walked to his desk looking at the floor and sat down. She turned around and smiled at him. He looked down.
Selphie asked, "Squall, what's wrong?"
"…Rinoa is coming back." He replied.
Selphie's eyes got wide, "When!?"
"…tomorrow."
"Oh god… this is not good, not good at all!"
"Why?"
"Do you have any idea what she is going to do to me when she finds out we kissed!?"
"I know she's a little protective…but you're a much better fighter than her."
Then Quistis walked in, "Good morning class!"
Squall whispered, "Don't worry, you'll be fine."
Selphie bit her nail and turned back around.
The next day after lunch…
"Squall, what time is she coming?" asked Irvine.
"…she said around 1."
Irvine looked at his watch, "It's 12:45 now."
Squall put his face in his hands, "Why the hell couldn't she of stayed away a little longer!?"
About 10 minutes later they heard Headmaster Cid over the loud speaker, "Will Squall Leonhart, Zell Dincht, Irvine Kinneas, Selphie Tilmitt, and Quistis Trepe please report in front of the directory!"
Selphie sighed and walked slowly to the directory.
Cid began, "Well, your good friend and comrade is back!"
Rinoa ran down the hall from the garage and one of the Garden Masters yelled, "NO RUNNING IN THE GARDEN!" Rinoa ignored them and kept running toward Squall. She gave him a huge hug, which nearly toppled him over. Selphie glared at her, but Rinoa didn't notice.
"HOORAY! I'M BACK!" she yelled.
"You were only gone for like a week." Selphie commented.
"Yeah, but now I'm back." Rinoa said with her hands on her hips.
Selphie rolled her eyes and thought, 'Oh, great.'
"Did ya' miss me, Squall?"
"Yeah, sure." He said crossing his arms. "Rinoa, I need to talk to you."
"Ok, let's go to the 'secret area' then." They walked off into the Training Center.
"Oh god, I am so dead." Said Selphie leaning onto the rail.
"Hey, how 'bout Zell and I go see what they're talking about?"
"Oh, that would be very helpful, Irvine!"
"No problem, Selph. C'mon Zell." So they followed them sneakily into the Training Center.
"Uhm…Rinoa, I need to tell you something…" Squall said.
"What is it, honey?"
"I…don't think we can be together anymore…"
"WHAT!? WHY NOT!?"
"I'm sorry, but I don't love you…"
"Is there someone else that I don't know about? Some little whore!?"
"Yes, there's someone else…and don't call her a whore."
"WHO IS IT!?!?!?"
"It's…Selphie."
"SELPHIE!?!? I KNEW IT! THAT LITTLE WHORE! I CAN'T BELIEVE HER! PRETENDING TO BE MY FRIEND AND THEN SEDUCING YOU BEHIND MY BACK!!!"
"Look…she didn't seduce me or anything. I just really love her…sorry, Rinoa."
"OH I AM GOING TO KILL THAT LITTLE BITCH!"
"Rinoa, you better not hurt her! It's not her fault—"
"I AM GOING TO FIND HER!!!"
Selphie thought to herself, 'What is taking Irvine and Zell so long? Maybe I should go take a peak myself…'
Selphie quietly walked into the Training Center and found Zell and Irvine running out.
"Selphie! You seriously need to get out of here and hide somewhere! Rinoa is coming after you!" said Irvine trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah, and she called you all sorts of crap and ran screaming from Squall saying she was going to hunt you down and kill you." Zell added.
"Oh my god, are you serious?"
"YES! If I were you, I'd run and hide somewhere!" Zell said.
"No…I'm going to confront her…I have my weapon, don't worry." She walked off.
Irvine yelled, "No, Selphie! Come back!!!" They saw her disappear into the darkness.
Selphie saw Rinoa running towards her and Squall running after Rinoa. She took a deep breath and kept walking.
Rinoa shouted at her, "THERE U ARE! STOP RIGHT THERE!"
Selphie stopped in her tracks, "What do you want?"
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU THINK YOU COULD SEDUCE SQUALL WHILE I WAS AWAY!"
"I didn't seduce him…I just told him how I felt."
"OH YEAH, SURE! LIKE I'M GOING TO BELIEVE THAT!"
"I did…I just told him my feelings, and he told me his…and then we kissed…"
"YOU KISSED HIM TOO!?"
"It…just kinda happened."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT, SELPHIE! I really feel like I'm going to kill you, Selphie…"
Rinoa got out her pinwheel and aimed at Selphie. Selphie got out her Crescent Wish nunchaku's and got into her battle stance. Rinoa shot her pinwheel, but Selphie jumped out of the way just before it hit her. Selphie then flung her nunchaku into the air and hit Rinoa in the arm. She winced a minute, then shook her head and shot the pinwheel at Selphie, and this time it hit her in the side. Blood dripped from the wound, but Selphie was too determined to live to even look. She flung her nunchaku in the air once again and it hit Rinoa's cheek leaving a huge gash. She felt the wound and shrieked in horror that someone had drawn blood from her. "THAT DOES IT!" she yelled. She charged at Selphie, knocking her off her feet, and sending her nunchaku's flying into the air. She hit the hard ground with a thud and couldn't breathe for a few seconds. She weakly got up, now defenseless. She walked up to Rinoa with rage in her eyes. She punched her in the face with all her might breaking her nose. Rinoa screamed and held her nose dropping her pinwheel to the ground. She then formed her hands into fits and tackled Selphie to the ground. Selphie bumped her head on a rock and now had blood coming from the back of her head. Squall, Irvine, and Zell were watching this vicious battle in horror. Rinoa was punching Selphie continuously and Selphie shut her eyes tight and thought she was really going to die as Rinoa continued to try and kill her. Squall saw Selphie's nunchaku's laying not too far away from him and he walked over to them and picked them up. He threw them to her and they landed next to her. Rinoa did not see this and was getting up to recover her pinwheel. Selphie half-opened her eyes and knew she had did not have much strength left in her. She slowly turned over and put her hand on her nunchaku's gradually getting up. Once she was standing, she hurled them into the hair and released, hitting Rinoa in the head knocking her down. With that, Selphie passed out and her vision blurred. Rinoa got up and laughed evilly. Squall ran over to Selphie, and Zell and Irvine came over and stood behind him. He kneeled down next to her and put his finger on her neck to make sure she had a pulse. She didn't.
"Rinoa…I think you killed her…" said Squall sternly.
"Serves her right…she shouldn't have messed with me." Rinoa said proudly.
