Chapter 5: What's happening?
Selphie was in her room, on the bed, preparing to read a horror book she had bought. The book was called "One night in a haunted house". First, she read the little description in the back of the book:
Third book of the 'One night in...' series; this time, Kurt Mills tells us about the night he spend in Winhill's Mansion with only a lantern and a lighter... "I heard noises, I looked around and no one was there. I thought I was going to piss my pants, then, when I saw two orbs staring at me, it happened"
"Wow... I must start reading this!" said Selphie excitedly. She opened the book, and there was a picture of the mansion. Suddenly, she realized she had forgot to do something. Quickly, she stood up, turned on her lamp and turned off the lights. That's better she thought I think so...
Selphie was quietly reading the book, very quietly. It hasn't passed even an hour since she started reading it and sometimes she would turn to watch behind her Calm down, Selphie... It's only a book... she was saying to herself trying to calm down, but she couldn't handle it anymore.

Irvine was in his bedroom reading some magazines, when someone knocked the door. Quietly he stood up and opened it only to find Selphie looking behind her.
"Hi, honey. Are you ok?"
Seplhie jumped over him, "Irvy! I was reading this book," said Selphie showing Irvine the book –he read the title- "and I think someone was looking me... I'm scared". Irvine hugged her and 'told' her "I know you're scared 'cos you've ran to me, But you know you must go back again, There ain't no doubt 'far as I can see, That you're gonna work it out again"
Sephie looked at her boyfriend with her big green eyes and kissed him, when they parted, she hold his hands –Irvine was looking at her puzzled- and thanked him in an unusual way.
"I wanna thank you, For being my strength when I thought I couldn't go on, And I wanna thank you, For showing me right when my heart was leading me wrong, For all the times I was lost and my soul was blind, And I didn't know what to do, Somehow you pulled me through, And I wanna thank you..."

The next day a couple arrived Garden. They walked inside Garden and were surprised when they saw the spectacle in front of their eyes.
"What the...?" asked the Seifer Almasy looking at a girl who was dancing in the Garden's fountain, "Let's go to ask Squall, c'mon" said Quistis grabbing his hand dragging him to the elevator. Quistis pressed the button to the 3rd floor. They could hear the people singing outside it, also they heard the background music but there was no band.
The elevator doors opened and they ran towards the office. Squall wasn't there, but they find Xu. "Hi guys! How was your trip?" asked Xu happy to see her friend back, "Xu, what's going on here?" asked Quistis, but Xu in a catchy tune told her "I've been workin' and sleepin', No time for misbehavin', 'Til I'm just about to lose my mind, And I'm startin' now to wonder, If I may get out from underneath, The pressures of a daily grind, Yeah, I've had it bottled up for so long, I'm gonna have to pop the top, The trouble is when I get started, I ain't ever gonna wanna stop"
Quistis and Seifer were open-mouthed and looked at each other, Seifer opened his mouth to speak but Xu started singing again.
"So as bad as I hate too, it's time to get crazy, It's time to take some tension off, I'll pay that price tomorrow, 'Cause it's time to get crazy tonight"
The two blonds left the office running and got inside the elevator.
Once there, Seifer leaned on the wall while Quistis was giggling remembering her friend singing, "Quistis, it isn't funny! You shouldn't be laughing!" said Seifer to her "You're right... haha..." said Quistis trying to stop laughing. Seifer looked at her with a very serious face "Alright... Alright... But what could be happening?" asked Quistis to the ex-knight
"I don't know. Let's check in the cafeteria maybe they are there"
The elevator stopped in the first floor, Seifer and Quistis got out of it. While they made their way to the cafeteria, they were hearing what the students were singing.
"I keep dreaming, of this girl who don't know me, she don't know I exist, as I stare at this girl, I just wonder what it'd be like, just to talk to her..."
Seifer didn't know what to do, if he should laugh or be worried of what was happening, sure Quistis didn't care too much or was having fun cause she was smiling and giggling all the time. She looked at him.
"C'mon Seifer, don't be like that" Seifer shrugged. They were walking and, suddenly, they stopped when they heard a nice song that a girl was singing with an amazing voice.
"...You're my world you are my night and day, You're my world you're every prayer I pray, If our love ceces to be, That is the end of my world, End of my world, end of my world for me."
Finally they arrived to the cafeteria –it was no difference from outside. Also, there, some students and, even, the cafeteria ladies were singing over the chairs, tables and counters. Seifer and Quistis couldn't believe what their eyes were seeing.
"Food glorious food, Hot sausage and mustard, While we're in the mood cold jelly and custard, Peas pudding and savaloys, what next is the question? Rich gentlemen have it boys, IN-DI-GESTION"
Quistis poked Seifer with her elbow and pointed towards a table in the corner. Both of them started to walk between the students to the table.
