Chapter 3: Is that you?

Selphie ran around the flower field while Squall chased her around. She laughed as she lost her balance and fell to the ground. Squall pinned her down and started to tickle her. She laughed so much that it made her stomach hurt. He finally stopped and laid on the ground next to her.

"Squall?" Selphie began.

"Yeah?" He asked closing his eyes.

"We're pals, right?"

"Right."

"And we'll always be pals forever, right?"

"As long as we live," He answered looking at her.

"Great!"

"Selphie!"

"Is someone calling me?" Selphie asked sitting up.

"No, I can't hear anyone," Squall answered.

"Selphie, wake up!"

"I'm sure someone is calling me."

"Selphie!"

Selphie finally opened her eyes. Michaela was standing over her bed.

"You're going to be late for class if you don't get up," Michaela said.

"Oh! You're right. I'm sorry," Selphie apologized.

"Its ok. Just get ready."

"Ok."

Selphie got out of bed. She got in the shower. As she washed herself up, she thought about her dream.

'I haven't had a dream like that in a long time,' She thought.

She finished with her shower and got dressed into her uniform. She got her books and walked slowly to her class. She really didn't feel like going today, but she also didn't feel like being yelled at by the instructor the next day. Her friend came up to her, Maiko, and walked by her side. She could already tell that Selphie didn't feel like talking right now. So she just walked with her the rest of the way to class. They sat down in their seats. Maiko took this time to look Selphie over. She saw that Selphie was wearing a wedding ring.

"Selphie, do you ever take that ring off?" Maiko asked.

"No. Never. Well, when I'm showing or swimming I do. But other than that, no," Selphie answered quietly.

"You really do miss him, don't you?"

"So much that it hurts."

"Well you should be happy. It's our first game against Balamb today. Balamb never had a sports team in any sport. But the headmaster decided to because so many students requested it."

"Really! That's great! That means I have a chance on seeing Squall!" Selphie said happily.

"Yeah. Its great. I hope you do see him, Selph. It'll make you sooo happy."

"Yes. It will."

"So, Leonhart, do you want to go watch the girls softball game? It's against Trabia," Hiro asked.

Squall and Hiro where in their room studying for a history test. Squall didn't really care much for watching sports, especially softball or baseball. It brought back too many memories. But Hiro wanted him to go. Hiro is his best friend here at Balamb Garden. Ever since Squall arrived, Hiro was there to help him out with a lot of things. He even tried to get Squall a girlfriend a few months ago, but of course, Squall refused and said he had a fiancée.

"Why go?" Squall asked.

"Well because. Chris is on the softball team and I want to go see her play."

"Oh. Your girlfriend is playing? Well…I guess. But don't be surprised when I get up and leave during the game."

"Yeah sure, man. I know you said it brings back memories, but just try to enjoy it."

"I'll try."

"Great. Maybe some of those memories will be pleasant."

"They never are."

"Well, then. Anyway, lets go. The game is going to start in a little bit. The girls are warming up now."

Squall nodded his head and followed Hiro to the field. He saw a whole bunch of boys there. Then there were girls there to support their friends. Squall sat on the bleachers, waiting for the game to start. He let his eyes wonder around the field. There were cheerleaders sitting, also waiting for the game to start. Balamb guys were hitting on the girls from Trabia. Guys from Trabia were hitting on girls from Balamb. Squall rested elbows on his knees. He supported his head in his hands and looked down at the ground.

"Hello, Balamb Garden!" said the announcer; Today is the first day in Balamb Military School history that we actually have a athletic team! Today we have our softball team play against Trabia. Lets get the game started, shall we?"

The Trabia girls entered the field. They all lined up and practiced batting. The Balamb girls got into position on the field. The game started. Squall watched with little interest. Of course like he said, it was bringing back memories. There was this one girl on the Trabia team that played in a familiar way to him. This was when the switched and now Balamb was batting. But this girl, she caught the ball the same way he remembered Selphie catching. He watched this girl with interest, hoping the announcer would say her name.

A few innings had gone by and Squall still didn't know her name. She was playing better than the rest of the girls and the announcer was ignoring her. She caught so many balls and she scored many points for her team.

"Man, with that girl on their team, Trabia is gonna beat us," Hiro said to Squall.

"Yeah. She is a good player," Squall said not taking his eyes off the girl.

"Heyyyy, do you find her attractive?"

"Its not that. She just……Its just that her playing skills are similar to Selphie's. From what I remember, that is."

"I see. Well maybe she is Selphie."

"Could be. Though I'm not sure."

Just then, the girl just hit a homer. Everyone in the stands that was from Trabia was cheering her on to hurry and get to home when she really didn't have to. The Trabia girls were bowing to her, like they were praising her. Squall lifted an eyebrow at this.

"They're like praising her," Hiro said.

"So I've noticed," Squall told him.

"Wow. That's something you don't see everyday. Is she like the star of the team?"

"Could be. She seems to be the best player."

"Wow! What a hit by Selphie Tilmitt! This girl is good! She's real good! I have a feeling if she keeps it up, she might go pro!" The announcer said.

When the announcer said, "Selphie Tilmitt" Squall just stop. His heart almost stopped too. Did he hear what he thought he just heard? Was she really Selphie?

An hour later the game was finally over. Squall got up and went with Hiro to go meet Chris. The visitor team was packing up. Squall kept his eyes on Selphie. She laughed as her friends made jokes while they put their stuff away.

"Oh, you know what guys? I'm gonna go use the bathroom real quick. So I'll be right back!" Selphie said to her friends.

She got up and stared walking toward the field exit. Squall was standing there next to it. He was nerves that she might recognize him. In a way he hoped that she did. In another way he hoped that she didn't. When she finally got up to him, she smiled at him sweetly.

"Can you show me where the bathroom is, please?" She asked.

He was silent for a moment. Then he nodded his head and started walking towards the bathroom. She followed him, taking in all of her surroundings.

"Balamb sure is big," she commented, "its bigger than Trabia."

"It is pretty big," Squall said not looking at her.

"You know, you remind me of someone. Someone I was friends with a long time ago. We are supposed to be getting married, but I don't know where he is."

Squall turned to look at her. "She didn't forget?" He thought. He smiled at her. She gave him a questioning look, but smiled anyway.

"Well its nice to know you remember me," Squall finally said.

"…Squall…is that you?" She asked him.

"Yeah. Its me."

"You look so different. And that scar! Where'd you get it from?"

"Seifer. I gave him one too."

Selphie was in tears now. She flung herself at him. She squeezed him so tight that it hurt, but he didn't mind much. He was just happy to see her again. After a few minutes, Selphie finally let go of him. She lifted up her hand to show him she was wearing the ring. He gave her a little laugh and hugged her again. She kissed his cheek. He smiled. He didn't want to let her go, but she had to leave.

"SELPHIE!" came a voice.

They both turned toward the voice. It was Michaela.

"Come on, we gotta go!" she said.

Selphie turned toward Squall then. She smiled and kissed him. He kissed her back, still not wanting to let her go. She pulled away, gave him on last hug, and a quick kiss before running off. He stared after her until she was out of sight.
