Trains are magical



Selphie looked out the window as the scenery went by. It had been a while, fact thirty five had come and went since the last. Seifer sat in the coach wondering why they didn't just go to Dollet..it was right there, he thought. He watched her as she stared out the window singing her stupid little train song. He had to admit, she looked good. He, on the other hand, looked like an Incubus fan with a stylish coat on. He shaded his eyes in embarrassment. Why didn't she tell him she'd look amazing? No matter, he thought. It's too late to be what ifing. Only matter right now was where she was taking him.

"Selphie, where are we going?" He asked as politely as he could.

"Fuck if I know. You bought the tickets." She replied with a big grin.

Seifer rolled his eyes. He knew she loved trains, but this was ridiculous. Sensing his despair, she came over to sit next to him. In fact, she was a little too close for his comfort. He gulped as she brushed up against him. The scent of wild flowers and strawberries filled his nostrils with a weird, yet sensual delight.

"We are going to Galbadia; Timbers in fact. I have to make a trade with a friend. These hot dogs for a dove with a turtle neck."

"A dove with a turtle neck?!" He interrupted.

"Don't ask." She replied as she continued. "Then I need to take the dove and bring it to Windhill where I can trade that for a white haired Moomba. The white hair is used for medicine though it grows in a very um, interesting place. Then to the Deling hospital where I can trade for a pass to an exclusive club. Then I trade that with my friend from Dollet to get the front row seats and backstage passes to the Incubus concert." Selphie finished taking a breath.

Wow, Seifer thought. This must really be important to her. His face turned red now with embarrassment. Now he really wished he didn't dress like this.

"What's wrong Seifer?" She asked with a concerned look on her face. She turned to look into his eyes. To do this though she needed to put her hand somewhere in front of Seifer. She rested it on his knee. He looked up, surprised. She was inches away from his face.

"Nothing's wrong. I just.."

"You just what?" She got closer to him. He got shy, but Selphie pressed the matter with a stern look. The fact that she was an inch or two away from his face kind of helped as well.

"I just think that we're going a little quick here." He said as quietly as he could. She pressed even closer. There was an aching look in her eyes.

"Ill tell the conductor to slow down." She said softly.

He could feel her hot breath on his lips. It was an exciting feeling as the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. In an instant, this frail young lady was overpowering him into near submission with just looks and words. Is she trying to seduce me?, he thought. A surprised look came upon his face as her hand slowly began to slide up his thigh.

"SELPHIE NO!!" He exclaimed. Selphie backed off a little, then giggled.

"What's wrong, You're not gay are you?" She asked kind of confused because guys don't usually stray away from this kind of advance.

Just then, the train hit a bump and both Selphie and Seifer went scrawling to the ground. The two landed together with their limbs intertwined. Seifer on top. Selphie was surprised, but let the situation get the better of her.

"I guess not." She said as she lay there squirming seductively underneath Seifer. There was a huge smile on her face amazed with her luck with trains. He got up abruptly. He looked at her annoyed, almost angry. There she was trying to seduce him, and he was about to let it happen. Her dress was tossed about her body revealing more of her great body than before. Seifer snapped.

"Who the hell do you think you are?!" He yelled in a dignified voice. She looked up at him, surprised by this sudden outburst.

"I came with you because you were gonna get me in to see Incubus up close in personal. THAT'S the only reason I'm on this train right now. So you can stop whatever the fuck you're doing or I'm going straight back to the Garden. Is THAT clear?" His eyes were on fire.

Selphie nodded, scared of what Seifer might do. She got up and straightened her dress. She sat down a way away from Seifer looking down at her feet. In an instant Seifer was embarrassed again. He didn't mean to hurt her feelings this was definitely not what he had in mind when he agreed to this date if it could be called that. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed.

"Selphie, I'm sorry." The words proved difficult to say. She looked up from her revelry. "But what you were doing wasn't exactly my idea of a good time."

"You shouldn't be the one apologizing, I'm sorry. I guess this is the way I would thank someone for saving my life."

She looked at him as tears began to well up in her eyes.

"The truth is that I've had a crush on you since the day I met you way back during the test. I chased after you, but you were just too quick for me. I knew that all the other stuff that happened after that point wasn't your fault because you were being controlled. It was kind of like you had a Cain complex. I knew deep down in my heart that when you attacked us and hurt me, it wasn't you. I don't know if the others had forgiven you, but I have." She gave him a sincere look.

Seifer was dumbfounded. He really didn't know what to say. He kicked at the floor for a moment. How could he possibly be mad after what was said. He threw up his arms in defeat.

"Alright. Let's just try to have a good time and see what happens next. Okay?"

She nodded and smiled in approval. The happy atmosphere that surrounded Selphie returned. She voiced a thank you and hopped out of the room to look out the window again. Seifer sat back down trying to assess what just happened. This was one fight that Seifer was losing. For better or for worse.
