Squall leans down to wake up Irvine when a sudden thought hits him.

Squall: Why the hell is he sleeping? How could he be thinking of sleeping in a time like this?

The more Squall thinks about this fact, the angrier he seems to become.

Squall: How could he let his guard down… and I was wor…in such a rush to get back here because I thought they were in trouble.

Squall balls up his fist and punches Irvine on the arm with enough force to send him rolling over Selphie.

Irvine jumps up looking wildly around, his hair messy and sleep lines running across his face.

Irvine: Wha- What? What the hell did you hit me for Squall!

Squall: What are you doing sleeping at a time like this! I just spent the last hour running through the woods coming back here.

Rinoa steps in, throwing herself in front of the two just as Squall was about to throw another punch. She turns quickly and looks at Squall with a fire in her eyes.

Rinoa: What the hell has gotten into you!

Squall: He's technically still on duty. He has no right to be sleeping and cuddling up with her!

Rinoa: Cool it!

Squall pushes Rinoa out of the way and looks at Irvine.

Squall: Your unbelievable… Why are you doing this?

Irvine: Doing what man?

Squall looks at Selphie, who has quietly gotten up and moved to Rinoa's side, and then back at Irvine.

Squall: HER!

Irvine: What about her! What has she done?

Squall's temperature rises and finally he explodes.

Squall: Why get involved with someone so clueless! She knows nothing about us and nothing about the life she is supposed to be living or ANYTHING about you! She is just plain clueless in life!

Selphie looks at Squall in shock. Her head drops and tears run down her cheeks.

Selphie: How can he judge me? He doesn't even know me…

Rinoa moves to Selphie and puts her arms around her. She softly whispers in her ear that everything is going to be ok.

Irvine: How the hell can you judge her? Especially to what your dating! Look at her!

Irvine points to Rinoa with a look of fury in his eyes.

Irvine: She's a monster and you know it! Look at all the things she's done!

Rinoa and Selphie both stop and look at Irvine. Rinoa drops her arms from around Selphie's shoulders and runs into the darkness of the woods. Selphie keeps a dead glare on Irvine for a split second then runs after Rinoa.

Squall finally snaps and releases all his rage. He draws his gun blade ready to attack. Irvine pulls out his gun and puts in to his right shoulder. They both stand there fury raging. Then… a high pitched scream breaks through the night once more.

Rinoa runs deep into the woods and Selphie follows not far behind. Once Selphie reaches the clearing that Rinoa is standing in she stops, breathing deeply. Slowly Selphie walks up to Rinoa and stretches out her arm to touch her friends shoulder. When she gets close to touching her she is suddenly knocked against a tree. Rinoa then starts to laugh Fiercely at her. Selphie gets up and walks back over to Rinoa. She then tries to touches her again but Rinoa throws up her hand and suddenly Selphie loses all control of her body. Rinoa then slowly turns to look at Selphie, her eyes black and her expression evil. She then throws Selphie whirling into the air, just holding her there like a puppet attached to strings, Selphie's hair gleaming in the moonlight.

Rinoa: Selphie... maybe squall is right... Maybe you are too clueless..

Selphie: What the hell is going on!

Rinoa: Irvine is right Selphie... I am a monster..

She looks at Selphie with and evil grin upon her face and lets her arm fall and with it so does Selphie. Screaming Selphie plummets to the ground, but suddenly she feels herself being slowed down to a stop just above the ground then laid down softly in the dewy leaves. She huddles up next to a tree and looks at Rinoa. She is back to her old self again, with the sweet innocence Selphie always knew. Rinoa takes a step toward Selphie but Selphie jumps up and turns her back on Rinoa.

Rinoa: Selphie? Please look at me. It is time I explain to you everything… Every thing about me… and you.

Selphie: Who are you? What are you?

Rinoa lets out a deep sigh. Pondering what she is going to say.

Rinoa: Selphie I am a sorceress. I have powers… as you have seen.

Selphie: But that wasn't you… That was… Well I'm not sure but… it wasn't you.

Rinoa: Yes Selphie it was me… just a side of me you have never seen before.

Just then Squall and Irvine come running through the woods into the clearing ready to fight. They look around wildly wondering what happened and why they heard a scream. Irvine runs to Selphie and holds her tight and Squall runs to Rinoa and does the exact thing.

Squall and Irvine: I'm so sorry.

Selphie and Rinoa push them away and walk to each other. They look at Irvine with a black eye and Squall with a bloody nose (obviously Irvine got tired of being punched) and the laughed.

Irvine: Rinoa… I'm sorry for what I said… I had no right to say such a thing… I just got a little mad is all.

Rinoa: Irvine don't worry about it… Its all said, done and in the past.

Irvine: Thanks Rin.

Squall looks at Selphie and Selphie looks back at him. Squally raises his hand to say something but stops himself.

Squall: Why should I apologize… I was just stating a fact.

Rinoa: I think you owe someone an apology yourself Squall.

Selphie: Don't worry about it Rin. I don't expect anything from him… What he said was true. I am clueless… You're my best friend and I knew about none of this.

Squall: Selphie… I do have to say I'm sorry because… it was wrong of me to say. Your not clueless and its not your fault you didn't know any of this… We kept if from you for a reason. To keep you from danger.

Selphie: Danger? How am I in danger?

Squall looks at Rinoa with quizzical eyes.

Squall: You haven't told her that yet?

Rinoa: I haven't told her anything except that I am a sorceress. Squall, she saw my other side… that's why she was screaming.

Squall and Irvine: WHAT?

Squall: Why did she come out?

Rinoa: I guess what Irvine said really got to me and my rage just kind of flew out.

Selphie: Umm what?

Rinoa: Back to the subject at hand. Selphie you are in danger now. Why do you think Seifer was there talking to you?

Selphie: How the hell should I know?

Rinoa: You have something he wants. What they want.

Selphie: They? Who is they? And what do I have? I'm just an ordinary person, there is nothing special about me. Is there?

Irvine, Squall, and Rinoa all look at each other with serious eyes. Rinoa steps forward and begins to explain….
