To The Last Rose
Authors Note: This is a Zellphie. If you don't like it, don't read it. They're kind of OOC, but then you can see them actually doing this..? erm, yeah... So... just read and enjoy! Don't forget to review some suggestions. Or if you just want to tell me you like it, go ahead! :D (if you don't like it, don't bother.)
*** Ch. 1 - Yellow Rose ***
The dark clouds hung ominously in the once bright and sunny sky. The garden was sitting where it had first pulled out of the earth, on the same island as the town of Balamb. Ultimecia was gone, and while everyone else celebrated, there was one who sat out in the Quad, emerald gaze locked on the darkness rolling in from above.
"Selphie..? Selphie, what are you doing out here? The parties back inside," a deep voice questioned the small girl. She spun on her heels and turned to face Irvine. He stepped over and draped his arm over her shoulders, steering her back inside.
"Ah, but I wanted to see when it was gonna rain. It'll be bad if it rains during the celebration," she half-whined, her lower lip protruding out in a puppy dog pout. Irvine just laughed at this and they returned to the party.

The next day had come quickly. All of the party decorations that were set outside had been ruined because of the rain that had come overnight. But no one was worried about the decorations. Selphie had gone missing since some time that morning. Squall had sent Irvine, Zell, and Quistis to search for her, but each were coming back with nothing.
Of course, none gave up and they were all off searching again. It was starting to rain harder, and the hopes of finding her inside the garden were dwindling. Later in the afternoon Squall finally spotted her from his window, sitting out in front of the garden. Zell stepped into the office and opened his mouth to tell him he hadn't found her yet when Squall spoke.
"She's at the Front Gate. Go get her, Zell. And take an umbrella." It wasn't really a suggestion, it was an order. He didn't need both of them getting sick out there. Zell just nodded, his mouth still hanging open, and left the office.
He stepped out of the gates to see Selphie sitting there on the steps, soaked down to the bone with no jacket. She had goosebumps all down her arms and legs, but she didn't seem to want to move.
"Selphie? What are you doing out here? You're gonna get sick, Selph." He held the umbrella over her head and smiled down at her when she glanced up at him. She smiled in return before turning to look back over at the clouds. Zell's smile fell and he squatted down next to her, making sure the umbrella was still held over both their heads.
"I want to see the rainbow," she spoke quietly to him, he almost had to strain to hear her. Her arms wrapped around her bare legs and she hugged them closer to her chest. "I'm waiting for the rain to stop so I can see the rainbow."
Zell blinked a few times before pulling his jacket off (with trouble, since he had to switch hands with the umbrella) and setting it on her shoulders in hopes that it would warm her at least a little. "Squall wants you to come back inside, but... I'll wait with you," he said with a smile, sitting down on the wet steps. It didn't matter to him now.
i// She was sitting there in the rain, staring up at the dark clouds that held all the rain falling. Little Zell came running out, big umbrella held tightly in both his hands. "Sephy! What are you doing out here? Matwon wants you to come back inside!" He cried out, one arm extending out for emphasis.
Little Selphie turned to look back at him and smiled. "I wanna see the wainbow!" Her green eyes sparkled at the attempt at the word rainbow and she turned back around. Little Zell just blinked a few times before sitting himself down next to her and looking up at the sky.
"Okay, I'll wait with you..." \\/i
Soon the rain came to a light drizzle, and the clouds began to part. Selphie's eyes began to grow and her body leaned forward, her excitement growing as the colors began to show. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Purple, Blue... they were all there! "The rainbow! It's so pretty," she commented on the beautiful array of colors then turned to look at Zell.
He nodded to her and stood up, reaching a hand down towards her to help her up. She gladly took it and stood, then the two turned and walked back towards the Garden, Selphie happily chatting away about how beautiful the rainbow was and the fact that it was worth it, sitting there in the rain to see something so graceful.
