Selphie woke up groggily. She glanced over at the clock that read 5:31 a.m. ~So early...~ Selphie fell over into bed. She sighed. ~Stupid me! To think that Irvine could actually stick to one girl. I must be crazy to like a guy like him...I feel so...angry! Why is he like that?! I can't believe it! But it's not like we're together anyways....~

Selphie: Irvine...

Irvine: Yeah?

He had just opened the door inside.

Irvine: Wow! You're awake this early?

Selphie: Yeah. I see you are too.

Irvine: Uh-huh.

Selphie: How was your date?

She sounded angrier than she would have liked to.

Irvine: Ummm...good.

Selphie: I'm glad to hear that.

Selphie turned over and faced the wall away from Irvine. She didn't want her sparkling tears to be seen by him.

Irvine: Sefie? Are you okay?

He timidly walked over to her and put his hand on her shoulder.

Selphie: No...No I'm not Irvine! I'm mad!

Irvine: Why? Who made you mad?

Selphie: You! I can't believe this!

Irvine: Sefie? What did I do?

Selphie: Don't call me Sefie! You aren't the young sweet innocent boy I grew up with! You're so flirtatious!

Irvine: It's my nature. Sefie...

Selphie: I told you! Don't call me Sefie! Your excuses don't cut it Irvine...they just don't...

She hid herself under her pillow.

Irvine: Selphie! I'm sorry...I don't know what I was thinking!

Selphie: You're not sorry. You know you're not.

Irvine: Selphie...

Selphie: Please...just leave me alone.

She started sobbing. Her body shook, and Irvine could only watch her. ~Irvine...I don't love you anymore. I can't!~ Irvine just sat down at Zell's computer and went online.

*AIM Conversation*

RinoaAngel887: Hey, "Irvy"!!!

CowboyIrvy: Yo...

RinoaAngel887: Somethin' wrong?

CowboyIrvy: Selphie and I kinda got in a fight.

RinoaAngel887: OMG! What did you do?!

CowboyIrvy: I went out with another girl while we were staying here.

RinoaAngel887: ARE YOU STUPID?!

CowboyIrvy: Yeah. I am to Selphie.

RinoaAngel887: Did you say sorry?

CowboyIrvy: She's mad at me...

RinoaAngel887: Well, I needed to IM you because there is a dance 4 dayz from now. Are you goin'?

CowboyIrvy: Sure...why not. What about Sefie?

RinoaAngel887: She can come too. If she wants.

CowboyIrvy: Okay I'll ask her.

RinoaAngel887: Good. Well, I gotta go! Talk to you later.

RinoaAngel887 Signed off at 6:30:42 A.M.

Irvine stood up and shut down the computer. He leaned over Selphie.

Irvine: Selphie? There's a dance coming soon. Are you going?

Selphie: Sure...

Irvine: Okay.

He turned to walk away.

Selphie: Irvy?

Irvine: Yeah?

Selphie: Go back to Balamb Garden.

Irvine: W-what?

Selphie: Go back to Balamb Garden! I don't want to stay with you.

Irvine: Okay Selphie...if that's what you really want.

Selphie: It is! Just leave me!

Irvine: Okay...see you at the dance.

Selphie: Whatever.

Irvine silently went downstairs to thank Zell's mother. He ran outside into the morning air. He rented a car from the car rental store and drove to Balamb Garden. When he arrived in the parking lot, many girls were there waiting for him.

Some Girl: Hey Irvine!

Irvine: Hi.

He walked by them and he hurriedly walked towards Rinoa and Squall's dorm. He knocked on the door and impatiently tapped his foot.

Irvine: C'mon...

Rinoa: Irvine?! What are you doing here? Where's Selphie?!

Irvine: Like I said...we are in a fight.

Rinoa: Fine! So you just left her? I'm going to go stay with her then. Wait here for Squall.

Irvine: W-what? Hey! Wait!

Irvine shouted after Rinoa. But she was already running down the hall to get to the elevator. She needed to ask Cid if it was alright that she went to Balamb. When she reached the elevator, Quistis just got out.

Quistis: Hey, Rinoa! What's the rush?

Rinoa: Well...Irvine and Selphie are in a fight right now, so I'm asking Headmaster Cid if I could go take care of Selphie instead.

Quistis: Cool! Well, not the fighting part. But is Irvine here now?

Rinoa: Yeah.

The elevator reached the second level.

Quistis: Well, I need to go now! I'll talk to you on AIM later!

Rinoa: Okay! Bye-bye!

*Beep* The elevator's doors closed. Rinoa waited while she went up to the third floor. *Beep* The elevator doors opened and Rinoa ran out.

Rinoa: Ha! Finally!

She burst through the doors and ran right into Cid.

Rinoa: Ack!

Rinoa fell down on the floor.

Cid: Watch where you're going Rinoa!

He adjusted his glasses and helped Rinoa to her feet.

Rinoa: Oh! So sorry Cid!

Cid: It's all right Rinoa.

Rinoa: Ummm...thanks. Oh! I had a question to ask of you!

Cid: Yes? What is it?

Rinoa: Well...Irvine and Selphie, they got in a fight. Irvine is back here, and Selphie is in Balamb. I was wondering if I could go and stay with her.

Cid: Why of course! You can leave today if you like.

Rinoa: Really? Thank you so much! I need to go and pack.

Cid: Okay! Be sure to call when you arrive.

Rinoa: Right. Bye-Bye!

Cid: Good-bye Rinoa!

Rinoa ran out of the room and pushed the down arrow on the elevator. She finally reached the first floor, and she ran to her dorm room. She opened the door and closed it behind her. She went to her closet and started to go through what she would pack. ~Hmm... No. Not this. But definitely this! Oh! I also need this dress for the dance...Which reminds me! I need to bring Selphie something from her dorm!~ Rinoa finished packing her clothes, and ran towards Selphie's dorm room with her suitcase dragging behind her. She opened her dorm and went inside. She opened Selphie's closet, and hurriedly looked through her things. She had looked for 10 minutes, and she at last found the perfect outfit for Selphie. It was a pair of dark blue jeans, a black sleeveless top with sparkles on it, and black platform shoes.

Rinoa: Ah! Perfect!

She went to the parking lot, and she saw Squall was waiting by a car.

Rinoa: Hey Squall! Watcha doin' here?

Squall: Well, Headmaster Cid told me that you were going, so I said I would give you a ride to Balamb.

Rinoa: Ohhh! How sweet Squall!

Squall: Yeah, yeah.

He turned away and blushed, but Rinoa put her hands on his face and kissed him. Rinoa: C'mon! Let's go.

Squall: Okay. Get in the car.

When they both settled in the car, Rinoa glanced at the clock.

Rinoa: It's already 7:05 p.m.?

Squall: Well...Yes.

Rinoa: Well then, let's get going!

They left the parking lot laughing and talking, as their car drove off into the sunset.

A/N: Woooh! Sniffin' pixie sticks!
