and I always knew what was right, just didn't know that I might....
Quistis woke up that morning feeling very unkept and very sick. Her knows was stuffy and her eyes seemed puffy.
She got out of bed and took a shower, dressing in some greyish blue jeans and a red shirt with flaired sleeves afterword. She pulled hair hair back in a ponytail and walked out of her dorm, headed for some breakfast in the cafeteria. She felt miserable, maybe her friends would cheer her up.
As she entered the cafeteria and got in line she noticed Selphie, Rinoa, and Zell were already eating their breakfast. She got her food and went to sit at their table.
"Hi Quistis!!" Selphie said excitedly. Quistis mustered up the best smile she could.
"Hello guys...whats up?" Quistis said, sitting down in a chair and grabbing her plastic fork, fixing to dig in to her warm, syrupy pancakes.
"Well, me and Selphie were just discussing what dress we were going to wear to the Garden Formal, and Zell was stuffing his face with hotdog." Rinoa said, "even though it's eight o'clock in the morning!" she said to Zell. Zell looked up with mock innocent, mouthfull of food.
"I hope Irvine asks me to go!" she said. "Rinoa's so lucky, she'll have no problem finding *her* date..." Selphie said, teasing Rinoa. Rinoa just smiled and poked Selphie teasingly.
"So what do you plan on wearing Quistis?" Rinoa asked. Quistis sighed.
"I'm not sure.." Quistis said. You couldn't say it was the most exciting comment. Selphie frowned.
"Whats wrong Quistis? You look really tired..." Selphie said. Quistis shook her head, sniffing again. She already knew she was coming down with something. Must have been the cold alley.
"I'm fine...I just have a bit of a stuffy nose." Quistis said, trying to smile.
"Okay, I'll take your word for it, but it sure doesn't look like a stuffy nose is all thats wrong..." Selphie said, nibbling an oatmeal cookie.
"Yeah, well, I have to go. I've got to take care of some business." Quistis said, remembering how her car had been stolen and she had to at least report it. Rinoa just gave a worried expression and slightly waved as Quistis got up from the table. Zell said something that sounded like 'Bye' through his hotdog-chewing.
Quistis threw away the remaining pieces to her pancakes and put the tray in the bin for washing. She left the room, and made her way upstairs via the elevator, and into Cid's office.
"Headmaster Cid?" Quistis asked. He looked up from some writing he was doing and smiled.
"Quistis, what brings you to my little office?" he asked, cheerfully. Quistis winced, she didn't exactly want to spoil his good mood, but nevertheless, it had to be reported.
"Um, sir, I took one of the rental cars out last night. When I got out of the-" Quistis stuttered, she'd almost finished with "bar" but she knew she'd get in trouble for that. "cafe, my car was gone." she finished. "I wasn't sure what to do, so I'm reporting this to you." she said. Cid stood up.
"And was the door locked when you left it?" he asked, curiously. Quistis shook her head. Cid rubbed his forehead, showing stress.
"I'll just report it to the Deling police. I'll let you off the hook this time Quistis, simply because of your courage in defeating Ultimecia. Just call this a little payback from me. You are dismissed.." he said as he sat back down and continued to write.
Quistis quickly turned and exited the office before he changed his mind. She certainly didn't have the gil to pay for a car. She needed something to pass the time so she headed to the quad, where she figured Selphie would be, since breakfast was over.
Sure enough Selphie was there with some other Garden Festival Members. Selphie smiled when she saw Quistis.
"Shouldn't you be in bed?" Selphie asked, jokingly. Quistis cracked her first real smile that day.
"I needed something to pass time and figured I'd see what you're up to, you're usually enough entertainment on your own." Quistis joked back. Selphie rolled her eyes mockingly.
"Welllllll, today I'm directing the band here." Selphie said, motioning to various band members with instruments. "They're practicing songs for the Garden Formal." she finished.
"Oh" Quistis said. "What songs will be played?" Quistis asked.
"Well, of the ones I can think of off the top of my head, we're playing Waltz for the Moon, Eyes on Me, Bollero of Fire, Seeing Smoke, and this new one called Dancing In Tears..." Selphie said, pointing to a music sheet she had in her had. Quistis looked over it.
"It goes like this, hmm, hmm hmm hmm, hmm hmm hmm" Selphie said, starting to hum the rhythm. Quistis smiled.
"It sounds pretty, who wrote it?" Quistis asked.
"I dunno, I found it in a box of music sheets I recovered from the basement. It looks to be old..." Selphie said. Quistis raised her eyeborws impressed. She sniffed again, her stuffy nose bothering her.
"I think I really *should* go take a nap.." Quistis said, yawning. Selphie nodded.
"See ya later then, Quisty!" she said, waving as Quistis walked off.
