Hiya! Look! I'm updating, and even though it's been waaaaaaaay too long, at least I'm updating right? Right! Be proud and let the reading and reviewing commence!!
---------------------------------------------
Zell woke up with rays of bright sunlight watching him through the blinds. He blinked a few times, looking around the room, before he remembered what had happened last night. Selphie was laying next to him, her arms draped lazily on his chest. He moved slightly, trying to get up and she turned over. Zell got out of the bed and put his shoes on. Kissing her on the forehead, he headed out of the infirmary towards his room.
'Man, last night was too much to take in all at once. I'm still in shock.' he thought to himself as he walked down the hall.
"Hey man, what's up with not answering your door last night? Where were you?" called Irvine.
"Oh, me?" responded a startled Zell as he turned around to face him, "I was…um…just really tired. That's all."
"Oh, I see. So where're you headed this afternoon?" he casually inquired.
"Wait, afternoon?" Zell asked as he looked at his watch. "Crap. I didn't realize I slept so late."
"So?"
"So what? Oh, yeah, I'm going to my r-…I mean for a walk…and so I'm going back to my room now. Yeah."
"Are…you alright? You seem kinda out of it."
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. So where are you going?" asked Zell, who still hadn't completely let the events of last night sink in.
"I'm gonna go see Selphie. I even bought her some yellow roses," said Irvine as he moved them closer to Zell.
"Wow, I must be out of it. I didn't even see that you were holding those."
"Well I guess I'll see you later. Bye," said Irvine as he casually sauntered to the infirmary.
"See ya," Zell said as he continued to his room. 'Wonder how Selphie will react to seeing him…oh, god…I hope she doesn't tell him about what happened.'
---------------
Selphie woke up expecting to see Zell with her. Instead, she saw the last person she wanted to see- Irvine.
"Hey, how're ya feelin'?" he asked as he handed her the yellow roses. She smelled them and then laid them on the table next to her bed.
"I'm okay. Oh, thanks for the flowers, they're really pretty. What're you doing here? " she asked, rather confused.
"I just came to see how you were doing. Is that so wrong?"
"No…I guess it's just that I didn't really expect to see you. Oh, have you seen Zell?"
"Yeah, he was out taking a walk. He was pretty out of it, too."
"He's probably as confused as I am…" Selphie mumbled under her breath.
"What?"
"Oh, um…I said…he's probably as…hungry as I am."
"Do you want me to get you something to eat?" he offered politely.
"Well I really should try and get up and walk. I am feeling a lot better," she said as she sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed. Irvine sat next to her and helped her up.
"Here," he said, "see if you can stand on your own." Irvine slowly let go of Selphie. She managed to maintain her balance and tried to walk around.
"Hey, it doesn't hurt anymore!" she smiled.
"Good. Well you'd better change your clothes if you're going to the cafeteria, unless pajamas are a new trend."
She threw a pillow at him and walked over to where her other clothes were. He started to leave, then turned back and said, "Hey, just so you know Dr. Kadowaki is out here, incase you need help." He then continued to leave as he waved and said, "I'll see ya later, Selph."
"Buh-bye," she called out to him as she went into the bathroom and got changed. She sighed heavily as she looked into the mirror. 'Did last night really happen? It felt like a wonderful dream…' she thought to herself as she fixed her hair. 'I suppose I'll find out when I see Zell…' She smiled at the thought of his name and giggled.
---------------
Zell had gone back to his room and changed his clothes and fixed his hair. He just couldn't get Selphie out of his head, or his heart for that matter. 'I really need to talk to her…' he thought as he walked out of his room. His stomach grumbled and so he headed towards the cafeteria first.
Everyone was in the cafeteria. Rinoa and Squall, Quistis and Seifer, even Irvine and his fling of the day. Zell walked in and sat next to Rinoa.
"Hey, Zell, decided to finally show up, huh? Where ya been, buddy?" Rinoa asked, while elbowing him in the side.
"I was just really tired last night…and I didn't realize it was so late," he said looking down at the table.
"Oh? I could've sworn I saw you coming from the infirmary…" said Seifer, as an evil grin appeared on his face.
"Um…" said a slightly flustered Zell. 'Oh geez, Seifer knows…' Zell regained his composure and said, "Well , I was checking on Selphie."
"I see. Did this 'checking on her' last all night? Hmm?" asked Seifer, grinning even more.
"Um…well you see, I--" Zell stopped suddenly as he saw Selphie walking, as best she could, into the cafeteria. She looked up and saw him staring at her. They both turned bright red and looked away. By that time, everyone knew something was up.
"So what were you saying, Chicken-Wuss?" asked Seifer, breaking the trance that had currently been over Zell.
"I…um…wait. I was saying something? Hey! Don't call me Chicken-Wuss!!" he said as he stood up and headed over to Selphie. Everyone at the table just laughed.
"So how long do you think it'll be before they hook up?" asked Quistis, chuckling lightly.
"I give 'em a week, at most," said Rinoa, "I mean just look at them. You can so tell that they love each other…or will soon. It's so cute."
"I wonder what they're talking about…" questioned Quistis.
"Who knows…but they're leaving now, and they didn't even eat. That's strange, for Zell especially. I mean look, they have hot dogs!"
"They're probably going out to eat or something. Ooh, what if it's a date?" giggled Quistis. Squall and Seifer looked at each other and shrugged.
"What do you expect, they're girls," mumbled Seifer. Squall nodded in agreement.
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?" yelled Quistis, punching Seifer in the arm. Rinoa did the same to Squall.
"You guys are mean!" the girls shouted playfully.
---------------
Zell and Selphie walked down the hallway together. Selphie started to slow down for a moment.
"You alright?" asked a very concerned Zell.
"Yeah, just a little tired."
"Well I know how to fix that," he said, picking her up.
"Hey!" she giggled. Zell carried her to the parking lot. "Where are we going?"
"Why, I'm taking you out to dinner, silly," he smiled.
"Okay!" she giggled.
Zell set Selphie down and opened one of the car doors. He helped her get in and went around to the other side. Before they knew it, they were in Balamb.
"Hey, I should probably go see Ma before we leave," said Zell, half to himself.
"We can go now if you want," offered Selphie.
"Sure, let's go," he said, heading towards his house. "Ma! I'm home!"
"Hey sweetie. Oh, and Selphie is it?"
"Hello. It's nice to see you again," said Selphie smiling.
"Yes, it's been a while. So, what brings you two here? Oh! She's your girlfriend, isn't she?"
Selphie and Zell both blushed profusely. "No, Ma, she's not my girlfriend…but we are kinda going on a date."
"That's so cute. My little Zelly's growing up! Well I suppose I should let you two go now. Have fun on your date!"
"Bye, Ma!"
"Bye, Ms. Dincht."
Zell and Selphie left to go on their date and Ms. Dincht thought to herself, 'They've always made such a cute couple…'

That's all for now…hopefully I'll be updating a lot more frequently though! Please review!!
