Be Careful for What you Wish for

Chapter 2

(3rd pov)

Oh my gosh! This place is so cool. Kelly thought as she took in the sight of Balamb Garden. As she was glancing around she bumped into a girl with short brown hair and knocked her down.

"Ahh.. I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying any attention," Kelly apologized to the girl.

"Ugh." The girl moaned as she picked herself off from the ground and glanced at who knocked her over. Her eyes came across a petite Asian girl with long darkish brown hair and brown eyes. (A/N: I'm not describing Rinoa here, just to let you all know) "It's ok, just a scratch. Hey! I'm new here, do you think you can show me around? Oh, and by the way, my name is Selphie. I just transferred from Trabia Garden."

"Oh, uhm. I'm new also. Sorry." Oh wow! This is Selphie? Kelly thought, surprised at this girl in front of her.

"Really? That is so cool. Isn't this place great?" then without waiting for Kelly's response, she continued, "Do you want me to show you the way to Headmaster Cid's office?"

"Yeah. That would be great!" I always knew she was hyper, but this makes hyper mellow!

Selphie started off to the elevator, "His office is on the 3rd floor. I just came from there. By the way, what's your name?"

"I'm Kelly"

Selphie flashed Kelly a quick grin and bounded into the elevator with Kelly following behind with an obvious less bounce to her step.

As the elevator doors reopened, Kelly and Selphie were greeted by a middle-aged man with thick glasses.

"Kelly?" after a quick nod on Kelly's part, he continued, "Good morning, I'm headmaster Cid and I've been expecting you." His eyes focused behind her and came to rest on Selphie. "Ah, I see you met Miss Tilmitt already, that's good she can go over some of the procedures here as you can see it's a bit busy presently."

As both girls swiftly glanced around the room, they quickly saw the headmaster's point as the office was swarmed with people and conversations. A bit busy? This place looks crazy right now, but whatever.

"Anyways though, your room is going to be next to Selphie's and there you will find your equipment and supplies. Classes begin for both of you tomorrow at 7 in the morning sharp. Please make sure to be there on time, if not early, as Professor Quistis is a bit strict on those details. Also-," but Cid was cut off as Xu called him and waved a portfolio at him. "Well, I have to go over there and see what she wants. I'm sorry this is a bit brief, but are there any questions?" Both Kelly and Selphie shook their heads. "Good, then if you'll excuse me." he headed over to where Xu was but not after handing Kelly her dorm keys.

Both girls glanced at each other, shrugged, and started back to the elevator.

"Why are they so busy?" Kelly inquired to Selphie as they waited for the elevator to open.

"There's this seeD test coming up in a couple of days so they have to prepare and get all the records."

"Oh. So… I'm in…" Kelly squinted at the numbers engraved on the key. "Room 108". That's in the back, but I guess I probably should hide my identity so I'll pretend not knowing. "Do you know where that is?"

"Yeah, it's right beside mine. I'll take you there." As they headed up the stairs into the dormitory area, they came across the hallway containing the multiple dorms in this section. "and here's 108!" Selphie said almost jumping up and down.

"Uh… yeah…. Thanks." Kelly quickly unlocked and opened the door, gasping in amazement at the sight in front of her. "oh wow! This place is huge. This is so cool!"

"Yep!" said Selphie, grinning. "I'm gonna head back to my room, it's 110. Come by when you're finished getting ready and we can go explore!"

"Yeah, sure, sounds fun. And uh, thanks again!"

"No problem, see you later!" Selphie said with a wave as she skipped to her room and went in.

As Kelly wandered into her room, her eyes came across her uniform and weapon. As she crept closer to the bed, she glanced and marveled at the two weapons laid on her bed. Two daggers glinted in the sunlight pouring in from her window. Attached was a yellow sticky note with messy handwriting that said 'Here are your weapons. Good luck, you're going to need it. Also, pressing the hilts together will result in a single two-handed weapon of a double-bladed staff.' When Kelly picked up the two daggers, she felt a strange yet familiar aura passing through her. She had never actually used daggers before, but for some odd reason, she held them comfortably as if she wielded them since her entire life. Slightly weird out, she placed the two hilts together and rubbed along their ends. Majestically, they combined, forming a new weapon, only to be broken back down to the daggers after twisting and rubbing her hands along the middle. Hah! That is so freakin cool. After replacing them back on the bed she wandered around her room and found someone had already brought up her belongings. After unpacking, she grabbed the daggers, placing them on her belt, and headed back out to find Selphie.

A/N: Uhm.. well now it has selphie in it so its that much further being closer to the FF8 plotline. Anyways, next chapter will be when Kelly meets Squall so… :) stick around . i dont know if this is any good and stuff, so i will really appreciate it if all of you review telling me how great this story is. Or sucky. lol, but seriously, any reviews and comments will be great. Also as a side note, italicized writing is Kelly's thoughts unless directly inferred elsewise.
