*The Next Morning*
Rinoa: Selphie! Selphie wake up!
Selphie: W-wha-at? No.........It's too early to wake up Irvy!
Rinoa put her hands on her hips.
Rinoa: Selphie.........it's Rinoa! Not Irvy!
Selphie: Oh! Sorry! Why do I hafta wake up early?
Rinoa: We are going shopping today! We need to get stuff for the dance on Friday.
Selphie: Fine.........Can we get McDonalds on the way?
Rinoa: Okay! Just get up!
Selphie: Alright, alright.
Selphie went inside the bathroom and jumped into the shower. The hot water cascaded down her body. She washed herself, then got out and quickly changed and dried.
Rinoa: You ready yet?
Selphie: Yeah. Hold on! Just need to dry my hair!
Rinoa: Okay. I'll be downstairs.
Selphie: Righty-o!
Selphie finished drying her hair with a blow-dryer. She ran down the stairs and sat at the table.
Rinoa: Mmmm! Smells good Mrs. D!
Selphie: Yeah, but we're eating at McDonalds!
Rinoa: We'll be back around dinner time.
Mrs. D: Okay! You girls have a nice time!
Rinoa: We will! Bye!
Rinoa and Selphie left the house and stopped.
Selphie: So where exactly are we going?
Rinoa: I don't know. You have any places in mind?
Selphie: .........No......... You were the one who made me go shopping with you.
Rinoa: Ehehehe! Oh right! C'mon, that looks like a nice store! Maybe I can find something else to wear for the dance!
Selphie: .........I thought you already picked something out from your closet.
Rinoa: I did, but just in case I dirty it or something I'll have an extra. Isn't that a good idea?
Selphie: .........
Rinoa: I take by your silence that you agree.
Selphie: Let's just go inside!
Rinoa: Okay, okay.
Selphie and Rinoa stepped inside the air-conditioned shop. It was the same one where Ashley worked.
Rinoa: Hmm.........this place looks like it has a good selection!
Selphie: That's nice. Maybe I can find a "second outfit" too.
Rinoa: Great idea!
Selphie: I was being sarcastic.
Rinoa: Yeah right. I think I'll go for the pants and shirt look instead of the dress.
Selphie: Good for you.
Ashley walked up besides them. She didn't know who Selphie was.
Ashley: Good day! Do you need any help?
Rinoa: Yes, umm.........we're—ummm.........I'm looking for something to wear for a dance.
Ashley: Really? Is it for a dance this Friday at Balamb Garden?
Rinoa: Uh-huh! Are you going?
Ashley: Of course! A really cute guy who was staying here earlier asked me today.
Selphie: Was his name.........Irvine?
Ashley: Yeah. You know him?
Rinoa: They're friends.
Ashley: Very cool! So anyways, what kind of clothing are you looking for?
Rinoa: I want to wear pants and a shirt instead of a dress. Do you have anything in mind?
Selphie left Rinoa and Ashley standing there to talk. She sat down in a chair across from a long mirror. She could hear Ashley and Rinoa talking. ~Why did he choose her? She is pretty, I'll admit, but what about me? Am I really that ugly? Do I have a bad personality? What made Irvy hate me?~ She gazed at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was normal like always, and her yellow sundress was the same as ever. ~Maybe I wear the same thing to much. Maybe that's why he chose her.~ Selphie decided that she would wear what Rinoa had picked for her for the dance. She smiled and got up and joined Rinoa again.
Ashley: Hmmm.........I think beige would work well for a shirt with black jeans. What do you think? Too dark for you?
Rinoa: Oooh! Perfect. Thanks for your help!
Ashley: No problem! You ready to pay?
Rinoa: Yeah. How much is it?
Ashley: Your total is.........2,000 Gil please.
Rinoa: Here ya go!
Ashley: Thank you very much!
Rinoa: Thank you! See you at the dance!
Ashley: Bye!
Rinoa: So that's the girl Irvine was seeing?
Selphie: Yeah.
Rinoa: I'm sorry Selphie.........
Selphie: It's okay.
Rinoa and Selphie went to McDonalds to eat some late breakfast. It was about 11:00. They ordered their food and sat down at the table.
Selphie: I never get tired of McDonalds.
Rinoa: Me neither.
Selphie: Where are we going after this?
Rinoa: I don't know. Do you want to go look for something to get for Irvine?
Selphie: Sure. I guess so.
Rinoa: I think he will appreciate you getting something for him. You know, as a gesture of "friendliness".
Selphie: Good idea!
Rinoa finished eating her Chicken Fingers and French Fries, and she threw it away in the trash can. She whipped her hands on her napkin and whipped her mouth gently.
Selphie: You're done already?
Rinoa: Yeah, but I still have my Sprite.
Selphie: Okay. Wait for me!
Selphie finished her Hamburger and threw the wrapper in the trash can. She wiped her mouth and stuffed the napkin in her pocket. Rinoa looked at her questioningly.
Selphie: What? I might need it for later. I still have my Dr. Pepper to drink!
Rinoa: Whatever you say.
Selphie: So. Where to? There are lotsa shops that opened up after we beat Ultimecia!
Rinoa: I hear there's a new shop over by the hotel. I think it's called.........ummm.........err.........Oh yeah! It's a shop called Ecko' Unlimited.
(A/N: Ecko' Unlimited is a store from Australia!)
Selphie: Coolio! Let's go. Do you know what it sells?
Rinoa: I think it sells like clothing, games, you know, like a department store?
Selphie: Cool! Let's go in!
Selphie forgot her sadness and became her old self. She grabbed Rinoa's arm and pulled her inside. Her emerald eyes sparkled at all of the items before her.
Selphie: Oooh! Pretty!
Rinoa: Okay. Do you know what Irvine would like?
Selphie: I dunno.
Rinoa: Not much help. What do you think he would like?
Selphie: Not clothing, not games......... What else is there?
Rinoa: Let's look around. Chocolate?
Selphie: Chocolate! Good idea!
Rinoa: Yay!
They stood in the front of the store for 30 seconds just looking at each other.
Rinoa: .........
Selphie: .........
Rinoa: Where's the chocolate?
Selphie: I dunno. Let's go ask the employee over there!
Rinoa: Ok.
Selphie and Rinoa walked up to the employee's whose back was turned.
Selphie: Excuse me.
She poked him on the back.
Employee: Huh?
Selphie giggled.
Selphie: Sorry to startle you.
The employee, whose name was Trevor, blushed.
Trevor: It's okay.
Selphie: Ummm.........do you know where the chocolates are?
Trevor: Yeah. Right down aisle 6.
Rinoa: Thanks!
Rinoa grabbed Selphie's hand and pulled her to the secluded dairy section.
Rinoa: That guy is hot!
Selphie: I know.
Rinoa: I got the perfect idea!
Selphie: Uh-oh. What is it?
Rinoa: You should ask him to go to the dance with you! Then it'll like, make Irvine totally jealous!
Selphie: But that's mean! How would Trevor feel if I used him like that?
Rinoa: Don't worry! I have a friend named Kitara who is going to the dance. I can like.........set them up and stuff.
Selphie: Uhhh.........what if it doesn't work?
Rinoa: I'm sure it will!
Selphie: If you say so.
Selphie started walking towards the chocolate section. She picked up a box and spun around to face Rinoa. She put her hand on her hip.
Selphie: Okay we got the chocolates. Let's go.
Rinoa: Hey-hey! Not so fast! We don't need any chocolates!
Rinoa took the box out of Selphie's hands and placed it back on the shelf. Her brown eyes looked excited at her new plan that she cooked up.
Selphie: Why not?
Rinoa: Hello, we're gonna make Irvine Jealous!
Selphie: Oh. Right.
Rinoa: Right! Let's go.
Rinoa led Selphie out the long way so they could pass Trevor. She made Selphie bump into him on "accident". Selphie blushed furiously and looked at him. She noticed that he was pretty cute with his brown eyes and brown hair. ~He has a cute face~. She loved how he looked, and she smiled at him.
Selphie: I'm so sorry!
Trevor: Oh-oh. That's okay.
Selphie: Umm.........I was wondering if you would like to go out with me to a dance coming up this Friday. It's at Balamb Garden.
Selphie felt awfully stupid asking a guy out in a department store. She felt like an old person.
Trevor: I-uhhh.........sure.
Selphie: Great! Umm.........do you know where the Dincht's house is?
Trevor: Yeah. I'll pick you up around 6:30.
Selphie: Okay! See you later!
Selphie kissed him on the cheek and exited the supermarket.
Rinoa: Wow! That was some nice flirting.
Selphie: I don't like him. But he's really cute!
Rinoa: Totally! What time is it?
Selphie: It's already 6 p.m.
Rinoa: Whoa! How long did we do that stuff?
Selphie: Eh.
Rinoa: C'mon let's get back to Zell's house.
Rinoa dragged Selphie to the front door. She let go of her and pried the door open. Selphie stepped inside and removed her shoes. She liked how her feet felt on the cool ceramic floor. Rinoa looked at Mrs. Dincht and waved.
Rinoa: Hiya!
Mrs. D: Hey girls! How was shopping?
Selphie: It was good. When's dinner?
Mrs. D: In about an hour. Do you think you can wait?
Rinoa and Selphie: Yeah.
Mrs. D: Okay, I'll call you down when it's ready.
Selphie: Thanks!
Rinoa and Selphie raced up the stairs and fell on the bed.
Rinoa: C'mon. Let's go on AIM and see if Irvine's online!
Selphie: Fine.........
Rinoa jumped on the computer and started pressing buttons. Selphie was in a daze, and she saw only flashing lights until Rinoa's voice brought her back to reality.
Rinoa: Hellooo.........
Selphie: What? Huh? Sorry.
Rinoa: It's okay. Look who's online!

CowboyIrvy: I have a date too.

*Back to room*
