Chapter 6: A Moment Like This

Christmas Eve. The day of the anticipated Christmas Dance Selphie had worked hard on. Yet I came still depressed and dateless. I watched the hundreds of couples twirling on the dance floor in their fancy dresses. I sighed, and took another swig of my punch. Then Irvine and Selphie came, laughing. "HEYYYY! MERRY CHRISTMAS!" Selphie cried, giving me a hug. I merely groaned, and raised my glass at Irvine. "Yo." I said briefly. "Hey, Merry Christmas!" said Irvine. "Yeah… Merry Christmas to you guys too." I said half-heartedly. "Hey, where's your date?" Selphie asked. "Imaginary." I answered. "Oooh, poor you! Wanna dance with me?" Selphie asked. "Nah, no thanks. Go have fun, Seph, you deserve it." I replied. Irvine and Selphie looked at each other, than shrugged. They then continued dancing. I groaned, and took another sip of punch.

I tugged at the collar of suit Ma sent me. "Its getting hot… I'm gonna go to bed." I said to myself. As I walked away, I heard that same, tingling voice behind me. "But who will I dance with?" I turned around. Jessica smiled at me, looking elegant in a pure white gown. "You came? How did you get in?" I asked her, confused. Jessica laughed. "I left Balamb Garden yes, but I didn't drop out." she answered. "I see…" I answered. Jessica looked at the dancers nervously. "Hey….. Do you still want to dance?" she asked. I looked at the dancers, then nodded. We took each other's hand, and danced.

When the music began to slow down, Jessica and I were closer than ever. "Zell…. I love you…" Jessica whispered to me. "Really?" I whispered back. "Guess what….."

'What is happening to me?'

'The pain inside… was harder to bear than the pain on the outside'

'Some things are harder to mend…..'

"I love you too… Jessica."

'But in the end… it's destiny…'

The End
