Selphie to the rescue?
A/N: I don't own em square soft do.
Wow, its been a while since I added something…probably because of the jerk of an ex boyfriend…my new one encourages my creativity…but we've been shagging like rabid monkeys lately so there's very little time to write
------------------------------Look a story!!!---------------------------------------
"Don't you remember me? Your Irvy?" He whimpered, trying to repress tears.
I shook my head no.
"Once again, you've forgotten your bestest buddy in the whole world." He sighed.
"Funny," I said, "You don't look like a cowboy."
Seifer smirked at me. He turned to Seifer, "Dammit man, what have you been telling her about me?"
I couldn't help but giggle. He looked like a surfer with a drawl.
"Besides," he said, "it was a phase and none of what he said is true"
"Not even the part where he said you were a loyal and steadfast friend?"
"You said that Seif? Aww shucks."
"Tell her a story" Seifer snapped.
"I was getting to that"
::: scene changes to outside (w00t imaginary special effects) about 15 years ago :::
Chibi Irvine was playing on the cliffs just to the side of the lighthouse.
He liked it up there.
He knew that he wasn't supposed to be up there.
But still he stood on the edge of the cliff with his arms spread and his eyes closed.
For a moment he almost believed that he was flying.
He heard matron calling for the children to come in for dinner.
"One more gust" he said quietly to himself.
The next gust of wind was huge. He leaned into it and closed his eyes.
It felt as though he was really flying.
The wind stopped abruptly and he opened his eyes only to find that he had in fact been flying and was now falling.
He caught the edge of the cliff and started screaming for help.
The wind picked up his cries and carried them away.
Inside the house, matron was counting the children.
"Has anyone seen Irvine?"
The children all shook their heads.
"I'll look for him" Selphie said.
"Do you know where he is?" she said sternly.
"No matron" Selphie said quickly.
Matron knew when the kids were lying.
"Go get him Selphie." And she promptly ran toward the cliffs.
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPP!"
The wind blew his words away once again
"HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLL" his throat stopped making noise.
"Irvine?" Selphie was looking all over the cliff area.
"he…" Irvine was trying to talk.
"Irvine, this isn't funny"
He finally mustered some strength (that wasn't being used to keep himself from falling to a gruesome end) to scream.
"SELPHIE"
Selphie turned quickly and saw Irvine's hair flapping over the cliff edge.
"Don't worry, um I'm going to pull you up…umm"
She tried pulling him up by his arm…. Too heavy.
"Are you even trying to help?" Selphie screamed.
"excuse me miss, what are you doing?" an older boys voice said.
"please help me, my friend fell, I cant pull him up by myself" she grunted as she struggled with the heavier boy.
The older boy whistled, and two other boys came running up.
"this better be important, we almost caught dinner" one of them said
"please, I'm getting tired, help me" Selphie shouted.
The boys looked at each other, nodded, then promptly pulled Irvine from the perilous rocks and undertow below him.
"much obliged" Irvine said as he held out his hand as a friendly gesture.
"who are you guys???" Selphie asked.
"we're junior tree scouts" one boy said
"out on walkabout" the second said
"so we can get our survival patches, so we can be senior tree scouts" the last one said.
"we'll be off to find our dinner now… you go run home"
"no, you guys have to have dinner with us, it's the least we can do" Irvine said
"alright!" they all said, as they all headed toward the light house.
Once inside Selphie shouted "I found him matron, these nice boys helped me, can they have dinner with us???"
"why certainly", Matron said, "how did you guys find him?"
"well miss, Selphie here was screaming for help, because Irvine was hanging on for dear life on those cliffs over there"
"Really…" matron's expression grew dark, "Children, tonight Selphie and Irvine will be doing the dishes then I would like to have a few words with them."
The children chimed in with an "ooooooo00000000oooooo" (sort of the universal you're in trouble noise children make)
"Thank you for telling me boys." Matron said kindly.
"just doing our duty ma'am" they said as they saluted.
"that gives me an idea" matron thought to herself
After dinner, Selphie and Irvine thanked the boys and went to the kitchen with all the dirty dishes. When they were done, they stood in fron of Matron.
"do you two know why you're in trouble?" matron asked.
Irvine said yes, Selphie said no.
"Irvine, you're in trouble because???…"
"I was playing by the cliffs and you said not to"
"correct and Selphie, you're in trouble because you lied about not knowing where Irvine was"
"I'm sorry matron"
"both of you will sit and think about what you did in the time out room"
"yes matron" and they trudged off.

* end flashback *
"you gave me my first kiss in the time out room"
Irvine whispered.
I raised my eyebrow and blinked a few times.
"Alright," I shouted, "if I gave all of you guys your first kisses, who gave me mine???"
every one turned to look at Seifer who smirked sheepishly.
A/N: my computer at work's been broken so I cant really type that much, but its kinda scary how prophetic my story is… my boyfriend is a lot like Seifer… weird huh???
