Quistis and Seifer were sitting on the orphanage porch miserably. Words weren't necessary.
Their company and companionship mattered. Each of them were trying not to think of what would
happen in the next few hours. They would be the last to leave. As they sat there, their minds
drifted off in unison to what had happened the night before.
~8:12 p.m.~
Since Selphie had wanted to be alone with Irvine, Quistis and Seifer had been booted off to the
boys' room. Squall, Zell, and Ellone had settled down in the hallway since they had been kicked
out of both rooms.
~In the Normally-Would-Be-Girl's-Room~
"Sephie?"
*mumble mumble mumble*
"I'm gonna miss you. Matwon said you'd be the first to leave."
Selphie burst into tears. "I dun wanna leave!!! I'm not gonna go! Never!! I'm not leavin you or
Quishtish!!"
"Don't cry, Sephie, we'll always remember eachother. We have the memory stones, remember?"
"But it's not the same!! I wanna be with all of you!!"
"I do too, but Matwon said all of us are leaving tomorrow...even if you stay, the rest of us won't
be here anymore."
~In the Normally-Would-Be-Boy's-Room~
Quistis and Seifer still hadn't let go of eachother. (In other words, they were STILL hugging each
other.) Quistis was crying. She didn't want to leave. No one did.
"Why do we have to leave? There's no point. Why can't we just live here, there's nothing wrong
with that, is there?"
Seifer didn't notice his wet-with-tears-t-shirt. He was busy trying to comfort Quistis. "Quisty...I think
we're gonna be transfered to the same place. And if we are, we'll see each other again
someday...."
Quistis looked up. "What makes you think that? Matron said we'd all be separated." Despite her
words, her voice was hopeful.
*I hope we will be in the same place though. I can't imagine a life without you...* Seifer thought.
"You can't?? Really?"
"How can you tell what I'm thinkin'?" Seifer demanded, his eyes widening
"Blue Magic."
He decided not to pursue the matter.
"If we all get separated, promise me you'll never ever forget me..." Quistis whispered in a scarcely
audible tone.
Seifer heard her, he always did, even when no one else could. "I won't ever forget you, Quisty,
I never will."
"Thanks." Quistis smiled for the first time that day. Her sapphire-blue eyes shimmered with
happiness.
~In the Hallway~
*YAWn--CHOKE*
"Cover your mouth when you yawn!!" Zell muttered.
"What's your problem?!"
"I wonder what they're doing in there..." Zell said, an evil gleam twinkling in his eyes.
"Don't change the subject!! Why'd you throw that shoe at me!!"
"I bet they're..."
"Don't think about stuff like that." Ellone warned. *You're jealous of Quisty and Seifer.*
"What else would take them so long?"
"I'm so tired...when can we get out rooms back!!!" Squall whined.
"I am too! I wanna go to sleep!" Zell complained.
"Be patient." Ellone told them, but they could tell that she wanted her room back too.
"Let's break the doors down!! It's 10 o' clock! Matwon's gonna murder us if she finds us still awake
right now!"
~11:59 p.m.~
The doors finally opened.
"What took you so long!!" Zell yelled.
"Sorry, we fell asleep." Quistis said apologetically. "It's so late..." She looked at her necklace.
"Before we go to sleep, we have to do one thing."
Zell groaned. "What crazy idea do you have now?"
"Take out your stones." she commanded. The seven children took out their stones and looked up
at Quistis questioningly.
"Now what?"
"Touch theml together and repeat after me..."
~12:00 a.m.~
"Amicus."
"Amicus," the group chorused while Zell wondered if Quistis was really going insane. No one
noticed that he hadn't repeated after he.
"Semper.."
"Semper."
A warm cerulean glow surrounded the children. "It's the strongest friendship spell I could find in
Matron's book." Quistis explained.
"What does 'amicus semper' mean?"
"Friends forever...Matron taught me."
Seifer glanced quickly at everyone and said "Squall? Irvine? Zell? I didn't really get a memory
stone like you told me to...the shopkeeper just told me it was an M-stone piece. I didn't ask for a
memory stone..."
~End Flashback~
As the children, one by one, left. Only Quistis and Seifer were still there.
"Quisty?"
"...?"
"You know that friendship spell you did with all the others last night?"
"Yeah?"
"Take out your stone."
Quistis took the silver filigree chain from around her neck. The jewel glowed brightly. Its color
complemented her eyes perfectly. "It looks different from Selphie and Ellone's..."
"That's 'cause I got you the best magical stone...it has more power in it than theirs...that's why I
didn't have enough money for the memory stones and I got them that instead..."
Their eyes met and lingered on eachother for a few minutes. "I wanted to make one more spell
for ours. Just for us."
"Mihi adamo te."
Quistis recognized the meaning immediately. "How did you find out about those?"
Seifer's face held a guilty expression. "Matron's spellbook." He gulped.
Two cars appeared on by the driveway.
"I guess this means goodbye..." Quistis said softly, a clear sheen of tears shining from her eyes.
"I'll miss you." His voice came out strangely, sounding nothing like himself.
"Friends forever?"
"Always."

Will Zell be excluded from the group because he didn't say anything? *should he be?*
Are Quistis and Seifer going to be transferred to the same place?? *of course they will*
