[Kewl, I have 9 chapters done! Wooo hooo!!!!!!! ^.^ yea, last chapter, we left off with her deciding what to wear to the party... and also, which weapon to bring... OMG, is she going to kill someone?! Well, if you want to find out, you just hafta read on!!! Which I doubt all of you, who even bothered to read this far wants too oh well.... Happy reading!]
Everyone stopped talking at the sight. The presence of this girl was mysterious, yet, wanted. She entered the room alone. All silent, yet everyone noticed her. Her silky black hair was put up, much like Quistis' hair, she wore a necklace of a dragon that seemed to glow. Her short, black dragon dress looked stunningly beautiful on her. She smiled as everyone looked at her. She quietly walked up to a table that already had 6 people seated to it. She silently took a seat, and everyone resumed to what they were doing.
"You look lovely today." Irvine whispered to her.
To her left, sat Irvine, and beside him, Selphie. To her right sat Zell, and across from her was Squall, Rinoa, and Quistis, in order from left to right. She smiled at Irvine as she saw in the corner of her eye Selphie hitting him.
"Sorry I'm so late. I forgot to do some things..." her voice trailed off as she remembered what happened.
[Begin flashback]
"Have you decided yet?" A tall man pushed open the door.
"You leave me no choice...Seifer." She said.
"That's better. I want you to kill Squall." He grinned.
"You killed Trina, why can't you kill Squall as well?" She asked him.
"Reasons that only I need to know, and you needn't." He laughed. "See you later at the party..."
Seifer turned around and walked away. She glared at him for a while, and then turned around to close the door.
[End flashback]
"Squall! Let's go and dance!" Rinoa's voice brought her back to reality.
"Come on Irvine! Let's go too!" Selphie hit him again, for her was staring at her again.
"Fine." The two males said in unison. And the four of them went on the dance floor.
She turned to face Zell... who was again, stuffing his face with hotdogs. But he caught her staring at him, and stopped eating to face her. She quickly flushed bright red and turned her head around.
"Wanna dance?" He asked her.
She looked at him strangely, but shook her head in agreement. Her bright smile lit up the dim room.
(Well Quistis. You're the only one without a dance partner.) Quistis sighed. (Zell and Nina are together, Selphie and Irvine, Squall and Rinoa. How I truly wish I could take Rinoa's place.) She sighed again. She looked gloomily at the couple dancing. She was mainly staring at Squall. (He could have been my knight. Why couldn't I tell him how I felt... at least before Rinoa. Maybe, if I did, I would be the one dancing with him...I just wish...) Her thoughts were interrupted. Someone had laid his or her hand on her shoulder. She turned around and saw a tall man with blonde hair and wore a grey trench coat. She sighed with relief (at least I'm not the only one without a dance partner).
"Still thinking about puberty boy? Give it a rest! He's got princess over there!" He laughed.
"Seifer, I would very much ap..." he covered her mouth with his hand.
"How `bout you give me the honour of this dance?" He grinned at her.
(Well, he's the only one... and I'll probably get my mind off Squall and Rinoa... so might as well...) She took his hand and he led her to the dance floor. He put his hands on her waist and pulled her extremely close to him (he smells so nice...) She took a deep breath and smiled (and he feels so... strong... why couldn't I have liked him rather than Squall...? He's so...) Her thoughts were interrupted.
"Lot's of people are staring at us. Let's go to the balcony... no one will watch us there." He took her hand and pulled her outside.
* * *
"Okay, what kind of party would this be without any entertainment?" Rinoa announced.
Nina had been here for only an hour and all she did was dance. She had danced with Zell eight times, and with Irvine three times. The first two times she danced with Irvine was because Selphie went to the washroom or something and hadn't seen them. But the third time they danced, Selphie got quite jealous. Nina had also seen Quistis and Seifer go outside to the balcony...and not return. But other than that, she say out for the rest of it.
"Instead of buying/renting/ordering any form of entertainment, we decided to have a battle tournament! The rules are; one on one, no magic, no hitting anyone on the head, no killing anyone, and the winner is determined when the loser steps out of this circle!" Rinoa finished.
"I'll go first!!!" Selphie bounced up onto the stage enthusiastically.
"I'll go against her!" Irvine smiled at Selphie.
"Then let the tournament begin!" Rinoa shouted.
* * *
"After 15 rounds, Selphie Tilmitt still is undefeated! Who will her next victim be? Or shall she be defeated?" Rinoa shouted into the crowd.
The crowd hushed down and everyone began murmuring. Everyone, except for one girl. She stood up and walked towards the stage.
"I accept the challenge." Nina bent down and pulled something out of her shoe. It was tiny enough to fit in the palm of her hand, but she mumbled something and the thing in her hands grew. It took form of a staff, with a grip in the middle, and dragon designs all over it. Everyone gasped at the sight (now is payback time) she thought.
"When I say `go' the battle will then start." Rinoa took a deep breath. "GO"
For a moment, all the two girls did was stand there and glare at each other, but then Selphie made the first move. She swung her nanchakus toward Nina, but Nina easily dodged it. The crowd began cheering on Selphie, and she took another swing. It also missed. Frustrated, she swung her nanchakus a million times, and then it finally hit Nina on the arm. The crowd began gasping. But through all the swings, Nina hadn't attempted even a single strike. (Now, that you hit me, you are going to feel more pain than you ever will) Nina thought happily, and that's when she began to attack. First she thrust her staff forward. Selphie was off her guard and she got hit in the stomach. She flew back slightly, and Irvine starting darting towards her, but the crowd stopped him. Slowly and painfully, Selphie got back on her feet and charged Nina, but she swung her staff and hit Selphie on her waist and she flew into the crowd.
"Oh my goodness! Selphie!" Rinoa and Irvine ran to Selphie to see if she was alright.
"I'm fine. I lost fair and squ..." Selphie began, but Nina cut her off.
"No, you won, I stepped out of bounds just as you were about to fly off." Sure enough her foot was over the line.
"...And Selphie is still undefeated!" Rinoa announced.
* * *
It had been over an hour since she made Selphie fly into the crowd, and she was proud of it. After that, everyone resumed dancing except for Irvine, Selphie and Rinoa. Selphie went to see the doctor, Irvine and Rinoa followed her; to make sure she was alright. Quistis and Seifer still were in the balcony, and Squall was nowhere in sight. Nina took a seat beside Zell and watched as couples danced.
"I never knew you could fight like that." She heard Zell say to her.
She grabbed a cup on the table. She was dead thirsty and needed a drink. She laid the cup on her lips and the liquid touched her lips and danced in her mouth. She swallowed and quickly put the cup down. The bitter taste of it was disgusting.
"Did someone do something to my drink?" She asked.
"Actually... no one did anything to your drink. It's just that you just drank out of MY cup. And you drank beer...." Zell said to her.
"Beer? Oh my goodness... I can't stand alcohol! I'm gonna get dru..." She began, but her face felt hot, her head felt fuzzy, and her sight was getting blurry.
"Nina? Are you alright?" She heard a male voice call out to her.
"Take me to my room.... Please..." She grabbed onto someone's arm, but she didn't know who it was.
Zell could feel her squeezing his arm, but he didn't know what she just said. Then he decided to carry her to her room. He picked her up and put her on his shoulder and walked out.
"Oh hyne! Where's her card key? I can't get into her room then..." Finally, he decided to bring her into his room. He slipped his card key into the slot, which opened the door and walked in carry her on his shoulder...
