Selphie had got up early, her back hurt after sleeping up against the door.
She walked along the beach, humming to herself. Today, she didn't feel too
hyper today, she kept thinking back to what happened last night with
Seifer. She sighed, "Why now Seifer? Why now?" Selphie sat down on the
beach, and laid down on her back. She stared at the clear blue sky and
closed her eyes.
"Selph? Where were you last night?"
Selphie's eyes opened and she sat up. She looked at Squall who was standing next to her. "Um.I.I went to.I mean."
Squall sat next to her, "what's the matter Selph?"
"Nothing."
"Liar."
"Ok! I slept outside that outdoor room."
"Why?"
"Just because! Stop bugging me!!" Selphie got up and ran along the beach away from the house and Squall.
"Selphie!" It was too late, Selphie had gone. Squall sighed and stared out ahead of him.
"Squall!" Squall turned around to see Quistis running up to him, "have you seen Selph? We haven't seen her all night."
"She ran off that way," Squall pointed towards the lighthouse. "I think she wants to be left alone Quistis." He sighed.
Selphie ran to the end of the island, she sat at the foot of the lighthouse. Her gaze was set across the ocean. "I don't want to grow up.I want to live her.forever." Selphie sighed. She knew damn well it wouldn't happen, but she couldn't help but hope.
"Selph?" Selphie looked up to see Seifer, she sighed. "Can we talk?"
"."
"I'll take that as a yes." Seifer sat in front of Selphie and looked at her, "I'm sorry about last night.I don't know what made me do it.it was probably just-"
"-Seifer." Seifer looked up at her, "you talk too much. Let's just pretend it didn't happen eh?" Seifer nodded. "So," Selphie giggled, she found herself in a sudden hyper mood again.
"Oh, before I forget, when we get back to the Garden, you don't need to worry about the festival. Me, Fujin and Raijin have sorted it. It's going to be held on July 16th." He grinned.
"What?! Oh Hyne! That's my-"
"-Birthday. I know, look, all you have to worry about it getting your pretty little head there at 7pm. I'll come get you." He smiled.a genuine smile.rather rare for Seifer.
Selphie giggled and hugged Seifer tightly, this time Seifer didn't pry her off him, he returned the embrace. "Thank you thank you thank you!"
"Hey, don't mention it. Or else." Seifer grinned and Selphie sighed happily. "Now, I suggest you go and spend time with your best friends.they haven't seen you since Thursday!"
Selphie got up, "Ok! You should come too!" When she looked at Seifer, he was shaking his head, "aww! But you're my best friend too-like it or not!"
"Selph, I can't. Those guys don't like me.at all!"
"Seifer.please.how do you know that?" Selphie paused. "Oh, it's been a year!" She sat down in front of him. "Can I ask you a question?" Seifer shrugged and looked at her. Selphie smiled, "when.you were.with Edea.and we had to fight you in Galbadia Garden.were you loyal to Edea or matron?"
Seifer looked at the ground. "Matron."
"Then what about when you were with-"
"-Selph, can we talk about something else please?" Seifer looked at Selphie, she could tell that talking about it upset him a little. Selphie nodded. "Good. So, why did you join Balamb? Why didn't you stay in Trabia?"
Selphie smiled, "because, I wanted to be a SeeD, the instructors urged me to follow my dream and join Balamb Garden."
Seifer smiled, "I see. So you joined Balamb Garden and became a SeeD, and also became the most hyper girl anyone had ever met." He grinned.
"I'm not always hyper."
"No, I know you're not. But you really do give the impression that nothing can get to you."
"I know.but.sometimes I hate being so hyper.I just want to sit on my own in the dark and cry."
Seifer looked at Selphie, for some reason, he felt himself feeling sorry for her. "Selph, I."
Selphie looked at him and leaned towards him, she pressed her lips against his gently, she pulled away before he could react. "I'm going to go find everyone.stay if you want." She got up and headed back towards the orphanage. Seifer watched her go, a grin crept across his lips.
"Selph? Where were you last night?"
Selphie's eyes opened and she sat up. She looked at Squall who was standing next to her. "Um.I.I went to.I mean."
