Quistis Trepe awoke to the sound of someone pounding on her door. She lifted her head from her desk, eyes coming into focus. All her ideas to sabotage the pet center were laid out messily.
The knocking grew louder and the young blond started to get irritated. "Coming!" She yelled, stuffing the papers unceremoniously into her desk drawer. Quistis furiously made her way to the door and yanked it open, revealing a petite brunette, smiling sheepishly.
"Um…Quisty, can I use your bathroom? I really, really, really need to pee, and my dorm is soooo far!" Explained Selphie, who was shifting uncomfortably. Quistis opened the door wider and let her friend run in and into the bathroom. "By the way, you have drool on your face!" Yelled Selphie as she slammed the bathroom door behind her.
"Ew…" Quistis mumbled to herself, wiping the drying saliva off of her face.
A few minutes later, a flush could be heard and Selphie came bouncing out. "Thanks!" She chirped.
"No problem. Glad to know you didn't fall into the toilet." Quistis replied sarcastically. Selphie stopped bouncing and stood in front of Quistis, tip-toeing to match her height. Quistis looked down at Selphie, eyes emotionless.
"HAHAHAHAHA," Selphie laughed as Quistis jumped back. "Geez, Quis, you are so FUNNY!" Two blond eyebrows shot up in confusion. Had she just heard sarcasm in Selphie's voice? The brunette turned her back to her friend. "Just because I fell into the toilet before doesn't mean you have to make fun of me." Selphie started to sob.
Quistis would have laughed if her friend hadn't been crying. She didn't know Selphie had fallen in the toilet before. "Selphie…I didn't do it on purpose…I don't remember you falling into the toilet! I swear!"
"Well, Irvy told me, that in the orphanage I did once. Just because my ass was too small…either that or the toilet was big. Irvy says my butt isn't that small anymore…but, anyway! He told me that you and Seifer just laughed at me. What a bunch of mean kids." Selphie turned around again and gave a small smile, despite her teary eyes. "I don't blame you. Stupid GFs, right? Anyway, thanks for letting me use the toilet!" She shrieked as she started to run out. Quistis shook her head at her friend, the queen of mood swings.
Selphie shrieked again as she slipped backwards and fell flat on her back. Her emerald eyes narrowed at the source of her accident. "Quisty, you need to clean up, look at this pap—" Before Selphie could read the paper, she saw a flash of blond and peach before she heard a thud, and Quistis groaning.
"I will clean up Selphie, don't worry." The former instructor choked out, breathing harshly. Selphie blinked a couple of times before getting up and walking over to the door. Quistis had also stood up, throwing the paper into the trash casually, and offering a smile to Selphie. "Well, bye now! See you at dinner!"
Selphie nodded slowly, still confused at Quistis' previous actions. "Oh well…" She mumbled under her breath. "Bye Quisty!" The brunette called, her normally cheerful tone returning. She opened the door and bounced out of the room. That girl can't even walk normally. Quistis thought amused. Maybe she's related to a chocobo?
Quistis' thoughts suddenly turned serious when she realized Selphie would suspect something. Selphie may have an extra bubbly personality, but she wasn't stupid. The blond woman walked over to her pile of trashed and groaned. She dumped out the contents and unwrinkled every piece of paper before she found the one she threw away.
Deciding to organize herself, she took her ideas out of her desk and placed them neatly in an empty folder. Placing it in her desk again, she washed her face and headed to the cafeteria for dinner.

Selphie walked into the cafeteria to see her blond friend poking around at a browning salad. She bounced over and took a seat next to her. "Hey Quisty, what's eating ya? Because you sure aren't eating anything! Hahaha!" Selphie realized how stupid her joke was and cleared her throat. "Quistis, I'm worried about you. Please tell me what's wrong."
"Nothing is wrong Selphie." Quistis simply stated. "I am one of the best SeeDs that Balamb Garden has. I have wonderful friends. I even have a group of my very own stalkers! What could possibly be wrong?" Her fork started stabbing harder at her salad. Control your emotions, Trepe. She felt Selphie's small hand steady hers and her stormy, blue eyes looked up to meet Selphie's worried green ones.
"I think you are too stressed out. Let's go out and have some fun Saturday!" The bouncy brunette's eyes lightened up again.
"Selph, I would really like to go, but I really can't." Quistis replied. She had dance practice on Saturday's, and rescheduling was out of the question, seeing that every other day of the week she was busy. "But, how about Friday night?" She suggested.
Selphie's face broke into a wide grin. "I knew that you knew that I wouldn't let you say no! Friday night it is then! Woo-hoo!" She yelled and pumped her fists in the air. "Aww, man. I think I've been hanging around Zell too much. So anyway, what are we planning to do?"
Quistis paled. "Planning!? I'm planning nothing! Nothing at all, haha!" Selphie looked thoroughly confused and Quistis mentally slapped herself. "Just kidding, Selph. How about…um, you plan the night?" Shit. She's going to end up picking something crazy.
"All right! I promise, it will be fun! And don't worry, I won't do anything too crazy. Just crazy enough to let yourself loose." Selphie responded, as if she read her friend's mind. "By the way," Selphie started, picking a piece of good lettuce out of Quistis' salad, "what was on that paper that you didn't want me to see?" A mischievous smile crossed Selphie's face as she popped the piece of lettuce into her mouth.
"Hey everybody! Matron's coming!" Zell came running towards their table. Saved by the Zell. Hehehe.
"Go away Zell. I want to talk to Quistis. Plus, I think there are some hot dogs left." The spiky-haired blonde turned around immediately after hearing the word 'hotdog' and ran towards the food line. Selphie giggled a little and turned her attention back to Quistis. "So….?"
Zell's not much of a hero.
