"Oh man! I can't find anything!" Zell said to no one in particular. He had looked in almost every store and was still not able to find anything Ozzalyn would want. He spotted Irvine and Squall walking down the street, both seemingly as miserable as he. "Hey, guys!" Zell hollered, waving them down.
"Hi, Zell." The two boys groaned in unison.
"Find anything for Ozzy?" Irvine asked. Irvine was the one who fixed Zell up with Ozzalyn. He had been good friends with her since he started going to Galbadia Garden and kept in contact with her.
"Nope. Nothing. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada." Zell sighed. "What about you guys? Find anything for your girlfriends?"
Both of the men moaned. "I can't find a single thing for Rinoa." Squall admitted.
"I found the perfect gift for Selphie, but I can't afford it." Irvine heaved a heavy sigh and his breath could be seen because of the cold weather.
"That sucks. Well, Irvine, you know Ozzalyn better than I do. What does she like?" Zell asked, in hopes of some helpful inspiration.
"She loves to read. Why don't you go to that book store over there?" Irvine answered.
"Thanks man! I owe ya one!" Zell thanked happily and ran over to the bookstore in high hopes.
Zell fished though some fantasy novels to find something Ozzalyn hadn't read, or didn't have a copy of. This was tedious because there were hardly anything there she didn't have a copy of. By the time he got to the 'W's' Zell was about to lose all hope, when his eyes fell on a 4-book set.
'The Enchanted Forest Chronicles.' Proclaimed the spine of the neat case, which held the books. "She hasn't read those yet!" Zell said blissfully, picking up the set and going to the counter. He had enough money and more besides! He left the shop and caught up with Squall and Irvine.
"How much money do you have left, Zell?" Irvine asked.
"Let's see . . ." The short blonde stuffed his hands in his deep pockets and counted his gil carefully. Between the two of them they had just enough to get the engagement ring! Irvine told Zell his plan to propose on The Birth of Hyne Celebration and Zell immediately surrendered the cash. The 3 teenagers practically sprinted to the Jewelry store.
~~~Afterward . . .on the train ride back to Balamb.~~~
"When are the boys gonna come?" Selphie whined, looking at her wristwatch.
"I dunno. I sure wish Zell would hurry though, I'm getting tired and cold." Ozzalyn said, shrugging deeper into her winter coat.
"Wait! I see them! Hi, Squally!" Rinoa said, waving from the platform. Seifer was walking in his usual slow pace, while the others were running to meet their girlfriends. They were eventually all reunited and then everyone clambered inside the train, in which they all decided to sit in the SeeD cabin because there was heating.
Quistis sat alone, as did Seifer, but every once in a while, she'd catch him staring at her through the corner of her eye. They all talked amongst themselves, all teasing one another with hints about what kind of gifts they bought. Once the train ride was done, everyone hopped out again and walked back to Garden.
Quistis cleared her throat and Seifer looked at her. "What?" He asked.
"So . . .what did you get me?" Quistis asked mischievously.
"You'll have to wait, it's a surprise." Seifer declared, speeding up his pace and passing her up.
"Oh well, guess I'll have to wait." Quistis whispered to herself.
Author's Notes: Thanks for the reviews! I was planning on doing other Holidays, I just wanted to see how you all liked this one first, and I'm glad you enjoy it!
Next Chapter: Selphie gets prepared for a Snow Ball and everyone helps her decorate. Could the answer to Selphie's financial problems be Headmaster Cid? Read and find out!
