I opened my eyes and found myself sitting in a chair. 'Ugh.Where am I?' I took a look around and saw that I was in a large room, filled with lots of people, some wearing a strange uniform. I saw someone who reminded me of.,.,Selphie? She was walking towards me. I stood and brushed down my outfit, surprised when my hands glided over the silky material of the short white dress I was wearing. 'Wha??'

Selphie grabbed my arm roughly and pulled me off to a secluded room. "Ouch!" I cried out at her.

"Shut up!" She whispered harshly. She let go of me and crossed her arms, staring at me. I rubbed my arm where she had taken hold of me and stared back.

"I'm guessing you got here the same way I did." Her voice sounded a lot like someone I knew.

"Riley?!" I asked, my eyes widening.

"Duh Leigh! We got sucked into the game!" She waved her arms emphatically.

"How did we manage this?!"

"I don't know, Leigh! But we did, and we're here. And I'm Selphie! I'm not supposed to be Selphie!"

"Wait a minute." I looked at her, seeing that indeed she was Selphie, but there was a different light in her eyes. It wasn't the soft innocent eyes that Selphie had, but the eyes of Riley. "If you're Selphie, that means I'm."

"Rinoa! This isn't right!"

I sighed heavily and brought my hand to my forehead. "I'm getting a headache. What are we supposed to do now?"

"I guess we have to play along for now. What else can we do?"

"We both have to think of a way to get out of here."

I nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I like the game, but not THIS much!"

"We probably should get back out there. You know where you are, right?"

I looked down at my outfit and then at hers. "The SeeD ball?"

She nodded. "I think you got here this late cause this is where you're character first appears. Be careful. You have to go find Squall and get him to dance with you. I should be Rinoa." Riley pouted.

I laughed at her. "Pouts don't work well with your character, sweetie. Let's go. Wait!" I pulled her arm, not allowing her to leave yet. "We can't leave at the same time. We're not supposed to know each other, right?"

"Right. I'll go first, cause I'm supposed to speak to Squall first anyway. A few minutes later, you come out and get him to dance. I'll see you later."

Riley parted the curtain and left the small room.

'Damn! I can't be Rinoa!! I'm supposed to be Selphie! How the hell am I supposed to act like Rinoa?'

I wrung my hands together and tried to remember what Rinoa had said.
