the Management.

Chapter 2: Training

Selphie combed her nice long silkie brown hair. She had been rather ticked at the day's events. Apparentely Quistis had had locket around her neck for years now. Why hadn't she ever noticed it before? How could she have failed to see it? It had a train rushing into a storm with lighthouse carved into the backround on it's face. It was Rinoa's fault.

She looked at the girl sleeping with Quistis. Hadn't they realized that she and the blonde already shared the room together? Oh well Rinoa was going to sleep with her tomorrow, they were alternating. Still the locket occupied her thoughts...

"Quistis can I see who is in the locket?" Rinoa had asked at the welcoming dance. Selphie had been in her low cut scarlet dress that left little to the imagination. Unfortunately Rinoa had on her own slutty blue dress. What a whore, Selphie thought. When the older blonde shook her head negative Rinoa went into her little girl routine. She hanged onto Quistis "I know you've had for a long time, please tell me."

The older woman said, "If you had a good memory you would know who's in it."

"You know GF's mess with long term memory, just tell me."

"No." She gave a hard smile, "It's part of your training to try and remember."

"What are you guys talking about?" Selphie had asked, trying to get Quistis' attention. Quistis explained that there was a picture of a very important person from years ago in it. And Rinoa had known about it.

"Hey where's Zell?" Rinoa asked all too innocently.

"He was called away onto a mission at Timber. Something about a resurrection of Ultimecia or something. Any, that's what Seifer said.

"You don't say..." The raven-haired girl almost looked thoughtful.

"What are you thinking about?" Quistis asked.

"Nothing. It's just that a lot of people seem to think I'm Ultimecia."

The other two couldn't help but break into laughter.

"Yeah it's kinda stupid." Rinoa admitted.

"So as you can see, a Gunner's life is a lonely and tragic life," Irvine finished his story of how he had single handedly saved Selphie and Rinoa from Edea and the Galbadian government. The girls around him sighed in love for the cowboy. And he sighed with them Unfortunately Irvine was bored as ever. There was not a looker in the bunch, all the girls he was interested in were fighting over Quistis. And Zell was off on some stupid mission. Oh well Irvine didn't like short guys anyway. If only there was someone his height he could to talk to...

Later in the night Irvine was taking out his anger on a bunch of monsters in the training area. Today it was getting pretty boring, they were weak monsters and there was nobody to keep him company. Eventually he sat down at the 'secret place'.

"You having fun?" asked man from behind with a sneer.

"No, not really man," Irvine said getting up to give a smile to the man he was talking to.

"Here," the man tossed something heavy into Irvine's lap.

"What is this?"

"A Grid, a new weapon being developed by the Gardens. You say being a Gunner is a lonely life. Why not try something different. The more you use the spheres on it the more expeirenced you'll be. It's set at gunner, just attach it to your belt. Now I want to see what you look like as something different at Ifrit's cave tomorrow."

The man seeped into the shadows of the secret place. Why not? figured Irvine. Might as well try something different. He set the gunner setting to fighter and found himeself naked except for two guantlets attached to his hands. They looked a lot like Zell's Iron Knuckles.

"What the hell?" Irvine asked. Then he smiled to himself. That guy must be really into some kinky shit.

Selphie woke with a start from a scary nightmare. It had something to do with Zell, and that meanie Seifer being a mean meanie to him again. She smiled to herself at the impossibility of the situation. Seifer was running errands for one of the higher ups. And Zell had gone with an experienced SeeD on another mission. She had nothing to worry about. Zell was all hers. She went into the bathroom in a half daze and crept into the big glass framed shower. It had been moved in there by Zell himself. The great thing was there was already somebody in there. So in the shower it was pretty warm.

Selphie blushed to herself. This shower was Quistis' and her's. Which meant that she was only inches, steamy and foggy inches, away from the love of her life all warm and wet.

"Quistis, be a dear and give me the shampoo bottle?" she asked.

The other woman complied and her arm shot through the mist with bottle and soap in hand. Selphie closed her eyes and tried to act as sexy as she could. She bent down and put the bottle onto the ground. The she took the soap, lathered it up all over her body. She drove the soap bar over every curve on her self. She gave emphasis to to her breasts and thigh area. Then she took the shampoo bottle and drove the shampoo into her hair like it was something more romantic. She rinsed the soap off her body, acting like the water was the only relief she could find, like her body was caked with mud. She began to give the rinse her hair when the older woman left the shower in a hurry.

Selphie smiled. Hook, line, and sinker.

Later after much flirting Quistis finally gave in to Selphie and told her plans for today. Rinoa was going to go to Ifrit's cave as her trial of becoming a SeeD. The problem was that it was Selphie who would be the proctor.

"Why do I have to be Rinoa's proctor?" she asked.

"Special Request" the blonde answered.

So it was decided. Later that day Selphie and Rinoa would be headed to acquire the token fire Guardian Force.

"Today's going to be a good day" Rinoa wrote into her diary.

"You just had too punch them didn't you?" the taller guy in the Cait Sith guy yelled while running with another guy in a Chocobo costume.

"I couldn't help it, I had to go." The guy in the Chocobo costume explained.

"Do something stupid like that again and I'll blow your friggin' brains out" Cait Sith said viciously, holding up his loaded doll for emphasis.

"Oh c'mon it's not like I blew our cover. And we did exactly as the client said to do." Chocobo said to lighten his partner up, "We're still getting payed."

"Yeah so? Ultimecia's not getting resurrected because she didn't die in the first place!"

"Wait, yeah she did," Chocobo took off his mascot head revealing Zell underneath, "WE killed her!"

"Yeah but it has to do with those Chroniton thingies," Cait Sith took off his head, "And she's back. That's all that counts."

"You know I like you better with the Cait Sith head on, Squall"

"Hmph, well at least these new weapons work."
