Rinoa gazed outside the car window and sighed.
Squall: Something wrong Rinoa?
Rinoa: Well, it's just that Irvine and Selphie are fighting, and it's not like them at all.
Squall: They are?
Rinoa: Yeah, but even though I didn't grow up with them, I still know how they act and feel.
Squall: ...
~So Rinoa is still caught up on that "Orphanage Gang" thing? It's not really that big of a deal...~ Squall patted Rinoa on the head and kept driving.
Rinoa: We're almost there!
Squall: Yeah.
After a few minutes of silence, they finally reached the entrance to Balamb.
Rinoa: Thanks Squally!
Squall: No problem!
He stood up and gave her a hug. She kissed him on the cheek and waved good-bye.
Rinoa: Bye Squall! See you at the dance!
Squall: See ya Rinoa! Oh! And be sure to tell Selphie "Hi" for me!
Rinoa: Alright! Bye!
Squall watched Rinoa walk into Zell's house.
Rinoa: Hello? Hi, Mrs. Dincht!
Mrs. Dincht: Why, hello Rinoa! I haven't seen you for a while! Are you here to stay with Selphie?
Rinoa: Yeah.
Mrs. Dincht: Well, you go and catch up with Selphie. It's almost dinner time, so I'll call you down when it's ready.
Rinoa: Thanks Mrs. D!
Rinoa ran upstairs to greet Selphie.
Rinoa: Hiya Selphie!!!
Selphie: Rinoa? Oh! Hey!
Rinoa bent down and hugged her friend.
Rinoa: So, how have you been?
Selphie: Oh...I'm recovering quite nicely.
Rinoa: No I mean...about Irvine!
Selphie: Oh. Not good.
Rinoa: That's not good! You guys are like best friends! How can you have a fight in a time like this?
Selphie: Do you know WHY we fought?
Rinoa: Yes.
Selphie: How?
Rinoa: Irvine and I talked on AIM, and he said he went out with another girl while you were here recovering.
Selphie: That's pretty much it.
Rinoa: Wow! How sad. It must have been dreadful for you. Did he just say "I'm going out with someone else right now. See you later"?
Selphie: That's it.
Rinoa: He is such a jerk!
Selphie: Oh, not really, like he says "It's my nature."
Selphie started crying and laughing.
Rinoa: Selphie...
Selphie: I'm fine. Really I am!
Rinoa: Okay...Oh! I need to call Cid so he knows I'm here safely! Hold on a second!
Rinoa whipped out her phone and punched in Cid's number.
Cid: Hello?
Rinoa: Hey Cid! This is Rinoa. Just calling to tell you I got here.
Cid: Okay! Glad to hear it! Tell Selphie I-
Rinoa already had hung up the phone and threw it on Selphie's pillow.
Mrs. Dincht: Okay you gals! Dinner is ready!
Selphie: Ooh! Dinner!
Selphie and Rinoa fled down the stairs and plopped into their chairs. They had chicken salad and sushi for dinner. When they had finished, they quickly excused themselves from the table.
Rinoa and Selphie: Thank you for dinner!
Mrs. Dincht: No problem!
Rinoa and Selphie went upstairs. Rinoa started to unpack her things, and she showed Selphie her new "outfit" for the dance.
Rinoa: Isn't it perfect?
Rinoa held up the clothing and looked expectantly at Selphie.
Selphie: Yeah, whatever.
Rinoa put on her pouting face.
Rinoa: Don't you like what I picked out for you?
Selphie: I like it a lot! But it's just that. Irvine is going to be there right? I don't know.
Rinoa: Don't worry Selphie! Everything will be just fine.
Selphie: If you say so...
*Back at Balamb Garden*
Squall: How could you have a fight with Selphie?
Zell: Yeah! I thought you guys were all best friends and stuff.
Quistis: Sorry, Zell. Repeat yourself. I couldn't hear you because you were busy stuffing hot dogs down your throat.
Zell blushed.
Zell: Eh-hehe. Sorry! I said that I thought you guys were all best friends!
Irvine: Yeah. We were.
Quistis: Hahahaha! I remember when we were all at Matron's orphanage, and you and Selphie would always wander off into the flower fields. Remember when we had to look for you in the middle of the night?
Irvine: Yeah. I remember.
Squall: I remember that!
Zell: That was scary.
Everyone looked at Zell.
Zell: Tch. Sorry.
Quistis: Yeah whatever.
They all started laughing, but then Irvine's cell phone rang out.
Irvine: Huh? Oh sorry guys hold on.
Irvine: Hello?
Ashley: Hey Irvy. This is Ashley.
Irvine: Oh...hey.
Ashley: What's the matter? You don't sound happy to see me.
Irvine: I-I am.
Ashley: Oh Okay. Well my friend Sarah has a boyfriend who goes to Balamb Garden, and he asked her to the dance they were having on Friday night. Four days away! Are you going to ask me to go?
Irvine: Well I-I uhhh...
Ashley: Don't you like me?
Irvine: Yeah I do. Fine. Would you like to go to the dance with me?
Ashley: I would love to! The dance starts at 7 right?
Irvine: Yeah. I'll pick you up at 6:30.
Ashley: Alright! See you then! I need to go now.
Irvine: Okay. Buh-bye.
Ashley: Bye Irvy.
~Since when did she know my nick name was Irvy?~ He put his cell phone back in his pocket and joined his friends.
Quistis: Who was that?
Irvine: Ashley.
Zell: You mean that store clerk that invited you to her house?
Irvine: Yeah.
Squall: What did she want?
Irvine: I asked her to the dance this Friday.
Quistis: You WHAT?!
Squall: How could you do that to Selphie?
Irvine: I don't know. I just can't reject a girl.
Zell: Tch. Great excuse.
Irvine: Look! I'm sorry!
Quistis: Whatever.
Irvine: I'm going to go to sleep. I'm tired.
Quistis: Good night.
Squall: Yeah, good night.
Zell: No, have a BAD night!
Quistis: ...
Squall: ...Weird...
Irvine: Right...I'm going to sleep.
Irvine walked to his room and lay down on his bed. He drifted off into sleep, where another vision from his past came to him. This time, it was when they were lost in the flower field at night.
*Flashback Dream*
Little Irvine: Sefie, don't you think we've gone far enough? It's getting dark.
Little Selphie: I'm scared Irvy! I want Matron to find us!
Little Irvine: Don't worry Sefie! I'll keep yoo safe from bad guys!
Little Selphie: Waaah!
Little Irvine: Don't cwy! Remember, I'll protect yoo! I always will.
Little Selphie: Really? Fowever? Yoo'll protect me for ever!
Little Irvine: I will Sefie! I promise that if we ever split up, I'll find yoo again!
Little Selphie: Yoo won't forget me will you? Promise me that you won't forget!
Little Irvine: I promise you both! But then you have to remember me too!
Little Selphie: I promise.
Selphie had hugged Irvine, and they huddled together in the field. They had waited there and fallen asleep. Selphie's face was buried in Irvine's chest, and Irvine was holding Selphie. Matron had finally found them. They were scolded the next day by Matron.
*End Flashback Dream*
Irvine: W-what?
He was startled by the sudden dream.
Irvine: She didn't keep her promise, but I kept mine.
Irvine checked his clock, and it was 9:07 A.M. ~Oh! Better get up! It's time for some breakfast!~
*At Zell's house Earlier*
Selphie: Man, I'm beat! I'm gonna catch up on my rest.
Rinoa: Good idea! Tomorrow is a busy day!
Selphie: Uh-oh. Well good night!
Rinoa: Same to you!
Selphie rolled onto her side and drifted off into a heavy sleep.
A/N: w00t! Okay, thanks for sticking with this horrible and strange story! Okay!
