Quistis and Seifer were sitting on the orphanage porch miserably.
They didn't say a single word, just leaned on eachother, each 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 to what had
happened the night before.
~8:12 p.m.~
Quistis and Seifer had left the room to talk since Selphie wanted to be
alone with Irvine. 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, we won't be here anymore."
~In the Normally-Would-Be-Boy's-Room~
Quistis and Seifer still had not let go of eachother. (In other words,
they are STILL hugging eachother.) 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 did not 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."
Quistis looked up. "What makes you think that? Matron said we'd all
be seperated." 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'?"
"Blue Magic. Extra Sensory Perception."
Seifer decided not to pursue the matter.
"If we all get seperated, promise me you'll never 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 said.
"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 open.
"What took you so long!!" Zell yelled.
"Sorry, we fell asleep." Quistis said apologetically. "It's so late..."
Quistis 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 at Quistis questioningly.
"Now what?"
"Put them all together and repeat after me..."
~12:00 a.m.~
"We."
"We," the group chorused while Zell wondered if Quistis was really
going insane. No one noticed that he hadn't said anything.
"Will."
"Will."
"Always."
"Always."
"Be."
"Be."
"FRIENDS FOREVER!!!"
"FRIENDS FOREVER!!!"
A warm cerulean glow surrounded the children. "It's the strongest
friendship spell I could find in Matron's book." Quistis explained.
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 a magical stone. I didn't ask for a memory stone..."
"WHAT?! You didn't?!" screeched Irvine. "How are we supposed to
remember eachother?!"
"Hey! It's not my fault you ditched me and left ME to get them while
you guys went to flirt with the girls!!" Seifer retorted.
"Stop fighting!!" Selphie sobbed.
~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..."
"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...I wanted to make sure that you would never, ever
forget me..."
Their eyes met and lingered on eachother for a few minutes.
Two cars appeared on by the driveway. Gravel scuttled and
bounced from under the tires.
"I guess this means goodbye..." Quistis said softly, her eyes brimming
with tears.
"I'll miss you."
"Friends forever?"
"Friends forever."
Author's Note: Will Zell be excluded from the group because he didn't
say anything? Are Quistis and Seifer going to be transferred to the
same place?? good question, i have no idea =Þ ideas please??
