Author's note: Sorry it has been so long since I updated. I've had a lot of things going on in my life, including having my first baby. It's kind of short. Sorry. I want to finish this story, and I have to start somewhere.

Chapter Five
The next afternoon after Selphie's arrival, Rinoa asked Issabelle to bring some tea into one of the drawing rooms.
"So what do you think Squall will say when he meets me?" Selphie asked.
"I'm not sure. I do not know him very well, so I do not have even the slightest idea of how he will act." Rinoa answered, as she poured some tea into two cups. She handed one to Selphie.
"Man, I am going to miss this place when I leave." Selphie said as she sipped on her tea.
"Speaking of that, there is something that I wanted to ask you. Since I am the lady of a house now, I am expected to have a personal ladies maid. I was sort of hoping that you would accept the position."
Selphie stared at her for a moment. "You mean I could stay here and hang out with you all day and be paid for it?"
"Yes. Well, in a sense. Issabelle will train you on everything."
"I'm all for it! I'll do almost anything to get to live here. It's so beautiful." Selphie said.
"Well, I'll let her know at dinner tonight. You can start your duties once Squall gets back."
The two of them finished their tea and then went horseback riding.
Elsewhere…
Squall walked through a wood and found himself in a clearing. Sitting on a bolder was someone familiar.
"Done?" Irvine asked.
"Yes. I'm finished. Let's go. I want to get home." Squall said walking over to the other side of the clearing. The two men climbed into a car and drove away.
"She had a friend come stay while I was gone. I think I'd like to meet one of her friends." Squall said.
"Well if her friend is female count me in!" Irvine said laughing.
They drove the rest of the way in silence.
