[A/N this chappie's kinda different coz' it's in Seifer's POV not like the others… I hope it's still okay though. Review please! Those are my inspirations! =)]
"Guys... Can I... ask you something?" Seifer started to tell his friends.
"YES?"
"What is it? You sound nervous, ya know?"
Seifer paused for a moment before saying anything.
"Well... I mean, you still remember, about my talk with Quistis?" He said the last part quickly.
"QUISTIS...?" Fujin said startled, then a smile crept up her face. "Seifer... you like her don't you?" She stated more than asked.
"Woah! This is so weird, ya know?"
"No!" Seifer said quickly to his friends. "I mean... yeah... NO! I mean... I dunno..."
Fujin's smile got bigger. "I always knew... knew you two would... be right for each other..." She sighed.
"Fu! I'm not going that far... I think. I'm so confused, DAMMIT!" He punched the table they were sitting at. A few other people in the cafeteria stared.
"It's okay, Seifer... I mean..." Fujin started to say but she was interrupted.
"Hey, I know what! It's so perfect, ya know?" Raijin suddenly shouted.
"Be quiet!!! Everyone's staring!" Seifer hissed.
"Oops... but here, you can invite her to the Garden Festival, ya know? This time ya gotta bring a date, ya know?"
"Garden Festival... But... wouldn't everyone find it strange to... see me there? With her?" He asked them.
Fujin shrugged. "Just take the chance. She'd be glad to go with you. I've seen you two talk and you both seem happy whenever you're together."
Seifer turned red. "Maybe. But..."
"No buts, ya know?"
"What if she says no?"
"Just try!" Fu told him, frustrated.
"Maybe. JUST MAYBE." He told them and stood up.
Quistis... I was dumped once... probably will be again... But maybe this time it would be different... SHE's different.
"Where you going?" Fujin asked him.
"Just take a walk." He told her.
She and Raijin both nodded.
Should I invite her...? Invite her, risk getting hurt. Don't ask her... I'll still be a loser!
He stopped walking and stumbled when he saw Quistis walking out of her room.
There she is! Do I go talk to her? But... what if we talk about the Garden Festival?
He had to talk to her though because she had spotted him and was waving. He walked over to her and he felt so nervous, because he knew he wanted to ask her.
"Hi, Seifer." Quistis greeted him.
"Hey, Quistis..." He said and grinned nervously. She noticed this and stared at him, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Something... wrong?" She asked him.
"Wrong? No!" He said. She didn't look convinced so he added, "Worrying... the SeeD thing... I mean, you know... if I'm gonna pass..." Which was true.
Quistis laughed. "What happened to the confidence you had last time? I still remember..."
Seifer relaxed and grinned wider, "Please. I just want to try being MODEST here."
Quistis put on a wicked smile and punched him in the shoulder. "No, but really if you to train or something, I can help."
"Well, thanks..." He put an arm around her shoulder and she accepted this with a smile.
Ask her! If you're gonna ask her this is the right moment! DO IT! You can do this!
"Uh, Quistis..." He asked her as they walked to the cafeteria were Seifer planned to meet Fujin and Raijin again.
"Yeah?" She must've noticed something making him nervous because his grip on her suddenly tightened.
He tried to relax and started again.
"Quistis. Er... I was thinking..."
Quistis was just looking at him, anxiously.
"Do you... um... wanna... wanna..."
JUST SAY IT! SAY IT! YOU CAN'T LEAVE IT LIKE THAT!
"Do you wanna... go... um... totheGardenFestivalwithme?" He said the last part really fast.
"Um... did you just ask me..." She asked him slowly, like she was trying to figure out what he just said. "to go to the Garden Festival... with you?"
She's gonna say no... no... no... She doesn't look happy... she's taking so long to answer... that's bad right? Oh, Hyne...
"Sure!" Her face broke into a smile and she even blushed. "Why not?"
Seifer was in shock. He only smiled and said "Thanks."
She... said... YES! Yes...? Wow....
"Thanks a lot." He added.
"Thanks for asking me." She said and she blushed more because she noticed Rinoa, Selphie, Irvine, Squall and Zell staring at her and grinning.
"So how 'bout I just talk to you about it
later... seeing we have an audience now..." He asked her.
"Sure. Bye." He said and walked dreamily to her friends as Seifer
walked to his.
YES... YES... YES... She said yes? Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I am going to the Garden Festival... With Quistis.
He turned to look at her and she looked just as happy as him.
