Chapter 5
Author: Becca
I looked around the room I was in. It was mostly all pink. Ick. I despise pink! I heard footsteps outside the room. 'I'm supposed to be asleep.,.,. I think.' I lay down on the bed and curled up, pretending to be asleep. The door opened and I heard Squall clear his throat, obviously trying to wake me up. I sat up and looked at him.
"It's you!" We both exclaimed and I stood. "From the dance! I'm Leigh."
'Oh no! I wasn't supposed to say that!'
As soon as the words left my mouth, there was a bright flash of pure white light. I covered my head and knelt to the floor. Squall also knelt, his hand hovering near the handle of his gunblade. The light faded, and we looked up at each other.
"What was that?" I asked him. He shrugged and stood, his hand still by the gunblade even as he reached out a hand to help me stand.
"They need you in the other room.,.,. Leigh."
I shuddered as my name passed his lips. His voice is so incredible! I followed him down the stairs and saw Zell and Watts and Zone and Selphie/Riley waiting.
"This is Ri.,.,." Watts started to say, shook his head in confusion and looked at me. "I mean, this is Leigh."
Riley's head shot up and she glared at me. I shrugged at her and lowered my eyes.
"Leigh, these are the SeeDs that have come to help us assassinate the president." Zone announced. "Squall, Selphie, and Zell."
I walked over to each of them and shook their hands. Zell smiled at me, Squall just watched me, and Riley sent me an evil-death glare.
"Leigh, Can I talk to you? NOW." Riley walked to another part of the train and I followed her.
"What are you doing?!" She screamed at me the moment the door was closed, fuming, her hands on her hips.
"I'm sorry! It just came out! Look, nothing bad happened so let's just go with it.,.,." I tried to calm her down.
"No! We're not going to just go with it! I'm going out there and telling them EXACTLY who I am!" She spun on her heel and hurried out of the room.
"Wait! Selphie!" I called after her and ran to catch up. I got to where we had left the guys, and saw Riley.,.,. kissing Squall! As I watched, wide- eyed, Selphie's light brown hair faded and grew long and darker. She was real! Instead of seeing Selphie pull away, it was Riley!
She looked at me expectantly, knowing she was now fully herself.
"Well. Look what happened Leigh. Why didn't it happen to you?"
The group looked from me back to her and back to me. I shrugged.
"I don't know what you're talking about. What did you do with Selphie!" I yelled at her, refusing to let her get to me. I shot her a look that could kill. She cried out in frustration.
"Leigh! Get over it! We're out! Yes," she turned to Squall. "You're dearest Rinoa isn't Rinoa. She's a senior in high school in Massachusetts. She doesn't even look like this!" She threw her hands up wildly.
Zone and Watts looked at each other and nodded slightly. They went around a still screaming Riley and pinned her between them.
"HEY!! STOP THIS!! LEIGH!! GET THEM OFF OF ME!!"
"We're sorry, princess. We'll have to just have two SeeD members." Zone apologized.
I nodded. "Right. You two come with me." I had to talk loudly to be heard over Riley.
"LEIGH!!" The two men took her to another room and locked her in.
You could hear Riley's voice, muffled by the walls. "THEY'LL SEE THROUGH YOU LEIGH! YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE RINOA!! YOU WAIT AND SEE!!"
I shivered with anticipation, knowing she was probably right. I entered a small room, followed by Zell, Squall, Zone, and Watts.
Sorry! This chap took me FOREVER to write! School's been keeping me from writing.BLECH! Oh well. Please R&R!! I REALLY REALLY need feedback!
