The Last Words Of See-D's

Quistis POV

"I can't believe we are actually going to go through with this." Selphie said in a less ecstatic tone than usual.

"Well, Selphie, there's no need for See-D's anymore and Cid said that it would be best if we got out and did something for ourselves." I said as I comforted Selphie.

"We can live normal lives. Just like everyone else?" Selphie said as she raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, just like everyone else." I said as Selphie nodded.

Irvine came into the cafeteria just then. He headed over to the table and sat himself down in front of Selphie.

"Hey Irvy." Selphie said automatically cheering up now that her cowboy was there.

Irvine seemed a little bit uncomfortable so I was going to leave.

"You guys should probably be left alone," I said " I will see you two at the rehearsal tomorrow." I said as I left the cafeteria.

I headed down the hallway and spotted Seifer who had a piece of paper in his hands. He looked frustrated. I guess I must have been the person who he was looking for because he brightened up as soon as he saw me.

"Hey Quisty, can you help me with my farewell speech? I can't seem to get across what I want to say." He said as he shoved the paper at me.

"Great, thanks you're a doll." He began to walk away when I stopped him.

"Seifer, I can't write this for you. We can work on it together, but I can't do this for you. It's your farewell speech, not mine." I said as Seifer grabbed my wrist.

"Can we do it in your room? My room is a mess from all the paper I wasted." Seifer said as he started heading to my room.

"Okay so what is it exactly that you want to be written in your farewell speech?" I asked as I grabbed a pencil to write with.

"Well," Seifer said as he thought about it for a minute, "I want to say that I'm sorry for all the pain and suffering that I caused during the sorceress war, I want to say that I'm going to miss Garden, and that I am going to remember so much about this place."

I made a list of things to say so I could use idea's for the speech. He wanted to say so many things, I don't think it would be possible for him to say everything.

"Okay now that I have a list of what you want to put down, now we have to start formatting the things into one paragraph."

Seifer looked at me funny.

"Do you have to do everything the right way?" Seifer asked as I nodded my head.

"Yes I do." I said as Seifer replied, "okay."

Selphie POV

"Hey Selph, can I ask you question?" Irvine asked as I looked up.

"Sure Irvy, you can ask me anything." Irvine smiled and said, "Thanks babe, I'll remember that." I began to giggle.

"Would you like to go out tonight?" He asked as I nodded happily.

"You can pick me up at 6:30" Irvine nodded tipping his hat.

"Well, I need to go take a test that I misssed in Quistis' class." With that Irvine walked out of the cafeteria leaving me to my thoughts of leaving my home.

I really need to get out and do something, to get my mind off leaving. I think I should go find Rinoa.

Rinoa's POV

"Rin!" Squall yelled. I ran into his room, to find Squall crawling on the floor.

"What is it Squally?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"I CAN'T FIND G.I. PIERRE!" He yelled as I sighed and opened the closet to help him look. Right there on the floor, was G.I. Pierre.

"Uhhh, Squall?" I said as Squall said, "Not now Rin! A life is at stake!" Squall said as I just gave up. Luckily someone was knocking on the door.

"Well, good luck finding him!" I said as I headed to the door. Whoever was at the door was persistent. As I opened the door, I realized that it was Selphie.

"Hey Rin, looks like you haven't finished packing. Do you need any help at all?" Selphie said peering into mine and Squall's apartment.

"Sure Selph, we could use some help." I said as I put on a comforting smile. Selphie tore into the apartment, and started working on some of the stuff in the living room. I closed the front door, and went into the bedroom. Before Squall called me into the showcase room, I was working on wrapping the breakable objects in newspaper.

I sat down and started wrapping the picture frames. The first picture I picked up was the picture of Squall and I at our wedding. We were feeding each other the cake. I remember that Squall tried to get the cake in my mouth, but unfortunately he put the cake up my nose.

I wrapped the picture in newspaper, and placed it into the box carefully.

After about a half an hour of sitting in silence, Selphie came in to help me.

"I finished in the living room, so I'm going to help you." Selphie said as she plopped down on the bed.

"So Rin, where are you and Squall going after the farewell ceremony tomorrow?" Selphie asked me.

Well, Squall and I found a house that we liked very much out in Deling City, so we are going to get on a train and go there after the ceremony." I said as Selphie nodded.

"Where are you going Selph?" I asked.

"Well, I rented an apartment not too far from here, and I hope to get a job soon so it will make it easier to pay the rent." Selphie said as she sighed deeply. I felt bad for her. I had a husband and a nice house waiting for me. Selphie just had an apartment to go to.

"Well, you know my cell phone number, so call me whenever okay?" I said, because I really did feel sorry for her not having much in life.

"Well, DUH! I would call you anyway Rin!" Selphie said as I smiled. She's still got that perk in her.

Selphie sat on my bed a little while longer until she had to go to meet Irvine.

"See ya tomorrow Selph." I said as Selphie left the apartment and headed to her dorm.

Squall came into the bedroom with good news.

"Rin, I found G.I. Pierre so you don't have to worry about him." Squall said as I started to giggle to myself.

Selphie POV

As I was heading towards my dorm to meet Irvine, I saw Zell and Ellone heading into the training center, hand in hand. They are such a cute couple.

Once I got into my dorm, I changed into some nice clothes.

I did my makeup and as soon as I finished, Irvine came to the door.

"Hey Butterfly, you ready to go?" Irvine asked as I grabbed my purse and headed out the door.

We drove to a very fancy dinner place. It was the very cute French resturaunt that is world renowned. I couldn't believe that Irvine got us reservations! I noticed that every now and then Irvine would put his hand over his pocket as if just to make sure he had something.

"Reservation for Kinneas." Irvine said as he looked over at me and smiled. I smiled back and grabbed his hand.

"Ah yes, for two?" The man said. Irvine nodded and the waiter took us to a table.

"The best seat in the house for our two lovebirds." The waiter said as I gave Irvine a weird smile.

"I told the guy it was a very special date when I got our reservations." Irvine said as I smiled greatly at him.

"Well is it a very special date?" I asked him as he got a nervous look on his face.

"Well, Selphie, this is very special to me, but I don't know how you'll take this news." Irvine said as he cleared his throat. I was so entranced by his words, I didn't really comprehend what he was saying.

"We've been going out for almost a year now, and I've noticed how happy we've both been with each other. What I am about to say to you is going to change both our lives for better or for worse." Irvine said as he got out of his chair and got down on one knee. I was frozen. I had no idea what was going on. Irvine pulled out a velvet box and opened it. There was a gorgeous ring with diamonds on the golden band with a large emerald stone in the middle.

"Selphie? Will you marry me?"
