Alright so with taking the advice of a wonderful friend here is my new chapter. Enjoy!

Selphie: What the hell was that?

Bending down she softly strokes Irvine's cheek.

Selphie: He's just unconscious…That's all. He's going to be ok. Stay calm Selphie.

While Selphie is tending to Irvine, Rinoa and Squall rush off into the woods behind the house. Silence rings all around. Then.. A twig snaps. Selphie gets up arming herself with a 4x4 sitting next to her and steps in front of Irvine. Leaves rustle with the slow walk of someone… or something. Out of the shadows comes a tall figure with short blonde hair and a devilish grin on his face.

Seifer: Well, well, well. Who do we have here?

Selphie quickly raises the 4x4.

Selphie: Don't come any closer!

Seifer: Oh shut up Selphie, you wont to anyth…

All of a sudden a loud thunk was heard as Selphie hit Seifer in the head with the 4x4. Seifer slowly sinks to the ground holding his head.

Seifer: Wha… What the hell?

Selphie: Who are you and how do you know me!

Seifer, still rubbing his head, looks straight at Selphie and grins once more.

Seifer: wow… I was really expecting you to know everything by now. Rinoa is doing a good job.

Selphie: Look, I don't know who the hell you are but stay back! I- I know kung fu!

Seifer: Whoa! Calm down! I ….

Thunk! Another blow to Seifer's head as he moved closer had him laying on the ground completely knocked out.

Irvine moves slightly. Selphie sees this and runs to his side.

Irvine: Uggh…

He touches his chest and flinches.

Irvine: Yeah… That's going to leave a mark. Selphie are you ok?

Selphie: Yeah I'm fine. Rinoa and Squall went after whoever threw that … what was it Irvine?

Irvine rubs his eyes, pondering what to say, while getting up. He walks over next to Selphie and touches her arm in a comforting way.

Selphie: Irvine I'm completely confused…

Irvine: Is it my place to tell her? Shouldn't Rinoa and Squall explain?

Selphie: Irvine… Please!

Irvine turns and looks down.

Irvine: What the hell!

Selphie: What?

Irvine: Why is Seifer knocked out? What is he doing here? Did you do this!

Selphie: Well he came walking from the direction that ball of light came from and he knew my name. He kept talking and getting closer. It freaked me out. So I grabbed a 4x4 and hit him a few good times. I was scared.

Selphie finishes her story and immediately starts crying. A look of shock and horror falls upon Irvine's face.

Irvine: What's wrong with her?

He walks up to her just intending to pat her back but she latches on to him and balls her eyes out. Irvine loosens up and wraps his arms around the distressed girl.

Irvine: Hey Selph, don't cry. Tell me what's wrong.

Selphie: W-Well, I'm so confused. I mean what's going on?

Irvine: Alright I'll make you a deal.

Selphie, tears still gleaming in her eyes, looks at Irvine.

Selphie: Yeah, what's that?

Irvine: When Rinoa and Squall get back we'll all sit down and talk. Okay?

Selphie: What about him?

Irvine looks at Seifer in disgust.

Irvine: Eh, We'll let his ass stay out here for a bit.

Selphie giggles and Irvine catches her eyes. They both sit staring at each other for a moment and then continue talking and looking at the night sky.

(Back to long lost Rinoa and Squall)

Running as fast as they can Rinoa and Squall try to find where the source of the energy ball came from. Then Rinoa comes to an abrupt stop and Squall stops next to her.

Rinoa: Squall? Is this a good idea?

Squall: What do you mean?

Rinoa: Well we both ran off so quickly… What about Selphie and Irvine? I mean Irvine was out cold and Selphie knows nothing about this stuff. What if the bastard who threw this is there?

Squall: Do you really think that someone would waste their time on her now? Especially when they could be after us? I mean you proved it.. She knows nothing yet. So they more than likely know nothing about her. Just stay calm.

Rinoa: Maybe your ri…

Suddenly Selphie is heard through the silence of the woods, very far off.

Selphie: Don't come any closer!

Rinoa takes off back through the woods. Branches hitting her face, stumbling all over roots and loose leaves.

Rinoa: This will take forever to get back. Oh I hope she's ok.

Squall follows a few feet behind.

Squall: I hope she's ok. Damn! Why didn't I think? She's so innocent.

Shortly after they ran from that spot a dark face moves from the bushes just far enough to watch them speed off in the direction of the house. Then out pops another face from the bushes. A snowy white face with an patch over one eye.

Rajin: Oh no! We we're supposed to keep them away longer than that so Seifer could find some things out about this Selphie girl, ya know?

Fujin: NOTHING ELSE WE CAN DO! LET'S GO!

It seemed like it took an eternity to get out of the middle of the woods but in retrospect it was only a course of an hour.

Rinoa once again stops abruptly, Squall almost running into her. She peeks through the bushes surrounding the house, but she doesn't see anything. She and Squall slowly round the house with sick feelings in their stomachs. The first thing they see is Seifer laying down, out cold on the ground. Then they step around further.

Squall and Rinoa: HUH?

Rinoa: AWWW look! It's so cute!

Squall turns to look in the direction that Rinoa is looking. When he sees the picture he just grins and shakes his head.

Squall: I never expected this.

Rinoa: It's cute!

Squall and Rinoa stand looking at Selphie and Irvine, fast asleep on the ground. Irvine with his arms around Selphie and Selphie cuddled up with a 4x4. Rinoa and squall just laugh together and then Squall bends down to wake up Irvine.
