(Disclaimer: Whew, I got the new game, Silent Hill 4-The Room, and it's fun '.'! Yeehaw. Anyways, I may not be typing as much as I need to cause I'm pretty occupied with it, so if I don't type as much as I usually do, don't keel me)
Returning To Normal
Quistis awoke around midmorning when she heard the humming of the elevator as it made it's way to the basement. The doors opened, and she noticed Irvine. He grinned.
"Good morning, Instructor."
Quistis stood, and bothered not to wake up the other instructors. "Irvine, how did you get down here? You're not trapped, too, are you?"
"No, but I just ran into Squall a moment ago, and he told me that you guys were trapped down here. He ran off to go find Rinoa, so he asked me to come help you guys."
Quistis frowned. "Haven't seen you around in a while."
Irvine coughed. "Cause I dropped out, remember?"
Quistis crossed her arms. "Ah, I remem--"
"--but I want to come back," Irvine interrupted.
Quistis raised an eyebrow. "So you can attend the SeeD Ball?"
Irvine smirked. "Well, of course, but also because I hardly see anyone around anymore."
"Say Irvine," Quistis started, "why did you drop out in the first place?"
"Well, I was considering going back to Galbadia, but I wanted to stay here with everyone else, too. Guess you can say I just left for a while so I could decide what to do."
"Is that all?"
"Well, I have someone back at Galbadia--" He stopped short.
Quistis crossed her arms. "A girlfriend?"
Silence fell over them. He opened his mouth to speak, then turned to the elevator when he heard it descend. He didn't recall it ascending. He recognized Cid when the elevator halted to the floor.
"Damn craziness," Cid grumbled.
"What happened, sir?" Irvine said. Irvine hadn't been around when all the chaos happened.
"You weren't here? Well, the lights were turned off, and everyone was in a state of panic."
"What had happened to you?" Quistis asked. "Did you get hurt?"
"No, but the last thing I remember, I reached over to my glass of water, drank some, and then there was darkness. I guess someone had put something in it."
Quistis looked behind her when she heard the others waking up. "Let's go elsewhere and talk about this."
"No body?" Seifer questioned. "There's gotta be some mistake."
"I thought it weird, too," Selphie said, "but that's what Rajjin said. He said he slept outside last night, right where the body should've hit, but he didn't hear a thing."
Seifer blinked. "Why did he sleep out here?"
"Probably because he worked so hard yesterday," Zell reminded him. "He brought in a lot of fish yesterday, and did lots of chores, too. He got back in the late evening, and he still doesn't have a dorm room, so instead of walking back to Balamb Town, he just slept here." He adjusted the sling that his arm was being held in.
"Maybe we need to get on some type of flying machine and see if he landed on the side of the school," Selphie suggested.
"Well, it seems like since the Garden has rounded edges, that his body would've just fallen off," Zell added.
"If he touched Rin, even though I don't have feelings for her anymore," Seifer told them, "if I find him alive, he'll be wishing he was dead."
Rinoa rung out her dripping, heavy locks of hair, and stepped out of the shower. She reached for the robe that draped over the bathroom door, and wrapped it around her tightly. She had wrapped her damp hair in the towel, and walked to the window, staring down the side of the Garden, wondering what the chatter was all about.
She noticed Zell. His arm was in a sling, and she, off course, blamed herself. It had been the first time she had seen Seifer since he and Fujjin had left for the hospital, and Selphie had gone with him. She wondered if Fujjin's baby was okay.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard Seifer say "Well, if we have to pay for a flight machine so we can find the body, then we will."
Her heart stopped, so it seemed. Raiun didn't hit the ground below? How can anyone survive that fall?
(I know, so short)
