pairing, don't read this.

Chapter 1: Unwanted partners.
~*~Selphie's POV~*~
I stood, waiting in Squall's office for the partner I was supposed to go on this mission with. Everyone else was paired off, although I felt it was more like, who wanted to fuck who, but I'd told Squall that I would NOT go with Irvine in no uncertain terms. Rinoa was balanced on the corner of his desk, facing him, Zell stood with Lee Anne (library girl) who had quickly been accepted into our group when she proved to be as good a fighter as we were. Raijin and Fujin were paired together, but I doubted that they liked one another, more like they refused to pair with anyone else. Quistis and Irvine were paired together and I reckoned that they had already 'paired' together before. The door swung open and I turned, hoping it was Nida or Xu or someone. Seifer Almasy stood there and surveyed the group.
"What'd ya call me here for Leonhart?"
"You're on a mission with the group here and your partner is Selphie here." I know my eyes widened at the prospect and I spun to face Squall, words of protest on my lips.
"I ain't workin' with no messenger girl." Seifer beat me to it and I glared at him, setting my fists at my hips. It had been four years since Ultimecia and I wasn't hyper all the time any more. My hair was long now, sweeping about mid back when I pulled it up into a ponytail and I no longer wore that zipper dress. I dressed in soft yellow trousers, black combat boots and a white blouse that had a soft purple scarf tied in a floppy bow around the undone collar. A yellow scarf was in my hair in another floppy bow, holding it back along with a hair band.
"What, don't think you could stand me kickin' your ass in battle?" I snarled the challenge, not feeling like being hyper anymore. They all knew I'd studied with Zell, learning his style of fighting as my second weapon and I kept a set of gauntlets around.
"Stop it you two!" Quistis's voice broke in on us and I spun and planted a fist into Squall's desk. Squall shot to his feet and I planted the other one beside the first and leant towards him. He understood me better than anyone and simply shot a look at Seifer.
"You WILL work together and you WILL get along." Squall's voice was hard and I relented, pushing back.
"Everyone will pack and will board the Ragnarok by 1400 hours, understood?" I saluted him and bounded from the office, feeling that hyperness return for a bout of entertainment. I looked at the lift and stepped in, hoping to be alone for a while. Seifer stepped in and Rinoa followed. Irvine was the last one in before the doors shut. I hated being stuck in a elevator with Seifer and I hated (at the moment) being in an elevator with Irvine.
"Rinny, can you help me pack?"
"Sure Selph, I'd love to, but you have to help me as well." I grinned and bounded out as the elevator opened, snagging Rinoa's wrist as we both broke into a run towards the dormitories.
