When Selphie awoke she was instantly aware of the fact that she was lying down on something hard. When she looked around she did not recognise where she was. This worried her slightly. The last thing she remembered was starting to drink with Yazoo. Curtains surrounded her and she could hear sounds of people talking but they sounded muffled. Selphie sat up and regretted it; she had a blinding headache. A glass with paracetamol next to it was near her. Selphie dipped her finger into the liquid and hurriedly withdrew it; the water was freezing cold, obviously it was brand new. When she reached over to grab it she noticed that she was draped in a brown sheet that had been used to cover the piano. Selphie took the paracetamol and drank the water before getting to her feet.
Selphie pushed through the curtains and came out onto the stage of the Quad. Selphie gasped as she looked around. Yazoo had obviously closed off the Quad that night so that he could have worked in peace. The lights were re-hung as were the curtains and the massive rolls of fabric. Selphie saw Yazoo and Loz who were looking over plans with their back to her.
"If you can grab that cable we should be able to hang the curtains over the entrance to the balcony" said Yazoo. Loz nodded and they set down the plans.
"You're awake" said Yazoo who had turned to Selphie
"You must be worn out" she said looking at the beautifully decorated Quad.
"Yazoo!" shouted Loz who was twirling a length of cable.
"Hang on" Yazoo told Selphie. Loz threw the cable which passed neatly through a hoop connected to the roof. Yazoo ran and jumped. He arched through the air and caught the cable. As Yazoo fell the twenty meters from the roof he pulled up the massive curtain of orange silk. Yazoo landed neatly and continued to relay orders to Loz until they had blocked out the view of the Quad-Stage area with the orange curtain.
Selphie walked around the Quad looking at all the work Yazoo and Loz had done during the night. Massive black satin drapes had been erected on the actual balcony area of the Quad. Selphie wondered what this was about but then she remembered that the dance was on the night of the full moon and so the black drapes would look beautiful reflecting the moon. Selphie turned back to face the stage but they had already closed the orange curtain. Selphie walked back through it and Yazoo cut the lights.
"Hey!" she said but then her words were cut short as Loz activated the lights that would be used on the night. Silver speckles decorated the walls and the drapes while the stage was practically heavenly to look at.
"Since our friend destroyed the stage, we thought we should re-build it" said Yazoo who was drinking water from a bottle.
"How long have you been working?" asked Selphie.
"About 17 hours" said Loz "Once he'd knocked you out with alcohol he came to find me"
"You could have just asked me to leave" said Selphie
"Would you have gone?" asked Yazoo
"Probably not" noted Selphie
"Anyway I wanted it to be a surprise" said Yazoo.
"Thank you" said Selphie who hugged Yazoo then Loz.
"We had better go open up" said Yazoo "Otherwise Squall is going to blow his top"
They walked up to the entrance which Yazoo and Loz had blocked off with white drapes. All the way up the stairs from the Quad-Stage to the entrance to the Quad Yazoo and Loz had hung fifteen meter long white or midnight blue drapes which reflected the light from the glittering waters below.
"The place is beautiful" said Selphie. Yazoo clapped and the light display in the Quad stage went off and the normal lights came on. Yazoo and Loz pulled the drapes back from the entrance. Many students were there wanting to see what was going on in the Quad but Selphie told them to leave and that they would see the Quad on the night of the formal.
"You should go see Quistis" said Selphie
"Another time maybe" said Yazoo "I need to sleep"
"Same here" said Loz "See you around Selphie"
The two warriors walked back towards their dormitory while Selphie went to her class.
