Disclaimer: No, no, still don't own 'em. Disney and Squaresoft have that particular honor. This will be a series of one-shots focusing on characters. I'm hoping to get one for every single character in the game. Ambition or Madness? You decide.

A Hop, Skip, and a Jump
…
They aren't coming back.
I know it, Tidus knows it, Wakka knows it, and I think that even Kairi knows it. She just won't say it out loud. I mean, what are the chances? Nobody knows where Sora is, let alone Riku, and, horrible as this might sound, I don't care as much anymore.
Wait, let me explain. I never really liked Riku at all. He was way too good to be hanging out with any of us, except for Sora and Kairi. And he kind of scared me, I mean, you never knew what he was going to do next. And the look in his eyes…kind of wild, like there was a pit of darkness in the middle and he was barely out of it. If you ask me, we're better off without him.
But you won't. Nobody does, after all. I'm just little Selphie, bouncing up and down on the beach, completely oblivious to everything. And maybe I was oblivious, before everything happened. But things happened before I got back to my island. Bad things.
There's another question you won't bother to ask. What happened to you, Selphie?
I saw people dying. I saw things nobody should have to. While Princess Kairi was off almost being used to destroy the universe, I was working in an orphanage, taking care of children whose parents got all, you know, heart-sucked. No time for jump-roping.
Probably why I'm doing it now. Hop, skip, jump. Hop, skip, jump. If I keep at it, maybe I can pretend everything is normal.
Because that's what we need right now.

A/N: Nobody expected me to start with SELPHIE, did they? What do you think? I always thought she'd be a bit more mature after everything and not so much of a little girl anymore…who do you want to see next?
