Just Kiss Me: Chp 1
A young, five year old girl sat on a small blue bed while swinging her feet back and forth. She picked up a small sailor's hat and placed it on her head, careful not to mess up her short brown hair. As she stood up from the bed, she fixed the wrinkles on her yellow overalls and walked up to a mirror.
"What do you think, Quistis?", the young girl asked, straightening the hat.
"It's really cute, Selphie!", a slightly older girl in a pink dress answered.
"But I like your hat more. It's cuter! Want to trade?"
Quistis giggled and shook her head.
"…Seifer gave it to me", she said shyly.
"So?"
"So I don't want anyone else touching it"
"But Quisty! It's just a stupid hat"
"But Seifer gave it to me after making me feel… like a princess"
Selphie turned around and faced Quistis.
"A princess? Huh?"
"Well, every girl knows that when a boy kisses you, you turn into a princess! Duh!"
Quistis went back to fixing the small pink beret on her hair and smiled.
"Seifer…kissed you!", Selphie exclaimed. "Groooooss! Did you get cooties?"
The young blonde laughed.
"Of course not, Selphie. There are no such things as cooties"
Selphie sat back on the bed and took the sailor hat off. She thought to herself while playing with the hat in her small hands.
"…When did he kiss you?"
"Remember last night? During the night time festival?"
"Yeah"
"Well, we were watching the fireworks. Then Seifer grabbed my hand and it just…happened! It was the most magical moment in my life"
"So…if a boy kisses me, I'll become a princess?"
"That's how it works", Quistis answered, admiring herself in the mirror.
Little Selphie thought for a moment and smiled widely.
"Oh! Cool! Thanks, Quisty!"
Selphie hopped off the bed and ran out the door. She stopped running as soon as she reached the front yard, where the other children usually played together.
"Hm…now where are the boys? I want to get that kiss as soon as possible", Selphie said to herself. "Quistis won't be the only princess around here!"
"Ewwwwww!", a voice called out from behind her.
Selphie turned around only to see two small boys standing behind her. One had long red hair and the other had short brown hair.
"Did you hear that, Squall? Selphie wants to kiss a boy!", the one with red hair cried.
"That's gross, Irvine", Squall said.
"Wait…what if she wants to kiss one of us!", Irvine said with a worried tone. "We'll catch her cooties!"
"Let's run away!"
Squall and Irvine ran away from Selphie as quickly as they could, leaving a small dust cloud behind them.
"…They're weird", Selphie said. "But since they won't kiss me…that only leaves….Zell".
The small brunette looked over at the young blonde boy. Zell was happily making a small sand castle in the sand box, only to have Seifer walk by and kick it down.
"Yes! He'll be the one to kiss me. But how?"
Selphie thought to herself and decided to see how a girl gets a boy to kiss them. And what better way to find that out than by television?
"Can I watch TV?", Selphie asked sweetly.
"Why, dear? It's only twelve in the afternoon. The dancing chocobo show does not come on until after your nap", Edea answered.
"But I don't want to watch Bloofy"
"Well, what do you want to watch?"
"Um…"
Selphie had to think again. Edea would never let her watch a show where people kiss unless…
"I want to watch your soap opera with you", she answered.
Edea smiled. People were always kissing in soap operas, so Selphie figured that watching one was bound to teach someone how to get a boy to kiss them.
"Okay! Let's watch, Selphie"
A few minutes into the soap opera, Selphie looked absolutely bored.
"I hate this…", Selphie mumbled to herself. "It's already been a kabillion minutes and nobody kissed or sang. I thought this was a soap opera!"
Just then, a woman in the soap opera was hanging off a cliff. Selphie watched closely as the brave, strong, handsome man raced to her rescue and pulled the woman up to safety. And just like that, they kissed.
"That's it!", Selphie shouted. "That's how I'll get him to kiss me!"
