{{{Chapter 1-Going Back}}}
Selphie stood at the window of the train. "I love trains!" she squealed to Squall as he walked past, and started singing. "Train, train, take us away..." Zell had been annoyed by this and went inside the SeeD room by himself. Squall thought this was a smart idea. For Zell anyway. He followed him.
Selphie continued to sing and notice the view. The world was a never-ending blur outside the small room, and something glinted in the black night that caught her eye. [Huh?!] Selphie pulled the window open to get a better view. It was...following them? There was a door there at the end of the hallway. She had never noticed it until now, really. She looked and made sure no one was looking. Seeing nobody, she tiptoed to the door and opened it slightly. Her eyes opened wide. All she could see were the train tracks and dead grass. She opened the door completely. There was a bar connecting the two train cars together.
She knew she would probably get back, but...she really wanted to see what that was! She stepped onto the piece of metal and kept her balance by holding onto the open door. "Okay...I can do this....on the count of three.." Selphie gulped. "One...two...." She closed her eyes. "THREE!" she yelled, and jumped off, rolling through the grassy plains.
She rubbed her throbbing head and saw the shiny object was still following the train. Or her. It was following her. She walked to it, and was nearly blinded by how bright it was. She smiled and saw a small ruby inside the light. "I could sell this!" she siad to herself, and reached out to touch it.
She suddenly felt herself being lurched into the air, floating in space, and then being thrown again. Selphie felt her stomach churn, and suddenly became sick. "Ohh..." she moaned, and was thrown once again before finally landing in the same grassy hills and plains.
She smiled, and saw the light was no longer there. "Damn." she said, and stood up. Her head was throbbing even worse. She looked and saw the train wasn't on the tracks either. She looked at her surroundings. Neither was Timber. [Where am I? I thought I was near Timber.] She started walking. She spotted Deling. [Well, some kind of town I'm familiar with.] She ran torward the town, and spotted Galbaldian soldiers. [Oh great.] she said, but she walked torwards Seling anyway.
As she walked in, she noticed a few different things. Like the fact that the Car Rental wasn't there. In fact, a lot of things weren't there. She walked around the town, looking around, checking to see what year it was. She walked into the hotel, down the stairs. The room looked vaguely familiar, like those dreams she had....with...she couldn't remember. There was a woman playing the piano, who looked like Julia, in fact, it was Julia, and another soldier sitting at a table in the back. She walked torward the table, and as she got closer she noticed it was someone she probably knew....Laguna! [Sir Laguna! At..my age!] His hair was a bit shorter than it was when he was in the dreams, but it seemed he still liked Julia back then. He was still cute though.
She walked torward his table. "May I sit here?" she asked, and Laguna nodded, his eyes still on Julia. Selphie liked the tune of the song. Finishing her song, Julia stood up and walked to the bar. Selphie saw Laguna had turned to her. "Hi." he said, and Selphie smiled. "Hi!" she said, and shook his hand. "My name's Selphie!" "I'm-" "Laguna, I know." Laguna had a confused look. "How do you know my name? I don't think we've ever met." Selphie thought quickly of a reason. "I've heard your name around." Laguna smiled and stood up. "Well, I need to get back on duty, even if there hasn't been an enemy sighting for awhile." Selphie smiled. "You like Julia, don't you?" Laguna blushed. "Well...*cough*...uh..not really. *cough*" Selphie giggled. "Okay, just wondering!" she said, and added, "Why not meet me here tomorrow?" Laguna nodded. "Okay." he said, and went up the stairs to the Hotel.
Selphie sighed and fell in her seat. [Might as well sign in to the hotel.] She stood up and walked upstairs.
"Welcome, would you like a room?" "Yes please." Selphie said, and took the keys to her room. "It is 150 gil a night." Selphie nodded. "I'll be staying her for two nights." she said, and walked into the room.
She undressed ((((Since she didn't have pajamas! And believe me, that dress is uncomfertable!)))) and lay in bed. "Laguna..." she whispered, and fell asleep quickly.
***************************************************
Laguna went through the streets, searching for enemies to battle. None. [Why did I have to get drafted? I mean, the war isn't even near here. They could've atleast made me a traveling soldier. Oh well. I guess there's a goodside of being here. Julia. And that other cute girl....what was her name? I think it was Selphie.] He shook his head and continued to walk through the town.
***************************************************
So, how did ya like? I know it's boring right now, but...it'll get better. I promise! Okay, there'll be about five chapters. For those of you who haven't noticed...she went to the past! This is gonna be a short story anyway...so...chapter 2 should be coming in about a week! I'm working on another story right now!
