[The last thing that Selphie could remember was Ultimecia's castle vanishing into a blinding white light. It had left her wandering in the never-ending sterility of Time Compression, calling out for her friends, for anybody. It truly felt as if each step was taking her farther and farther away from everything that she held dear until one day, it all appeared before her again. She stood there, injuries and all from the battle that were still healing in a dumbfounded state. She ignored the murmurs, the stares and the pointing fingers as her nunchaku slipped from her hands and clattered to the floor.

Leaving it behind, Selphie stumbled toward the directory where her life had begun to change and stared at it. It all looked the same but after not seeing it all for so long, nothing looked the same at all. She wasn't sure if she was dreaming or not but the dull ache she felt throughout her entire body had her leaning quite heavily towards this all being real. It was all real or a very cruel nightmare.

The map thankfully, seems to have remained the same and she veers off toward the left. She feels like hell and probably looks like it too but she honestly could care less as she started a slow trudge toward the infirmary. Was Dr. Kadowaki still there or was Selphie in for a surprise? She couldn't say for sure but those steps toward the infirmary were leading Selphie towards a new chapter in her life. She was exhausted and bone weary as she came to the door of the infirmary before too long. Of course, how long it takes her also depends on how often she gets stopped on her way there.

Eventually, she stepped within distance of the sensors and watched as the door opened.]

Helloooooooo? Anybody home?

But Squall just wouldn't up and leave like that. Garden's our home. It's the only one we've got.

[How observant of you!]

Yeah, that usually happens when you're fighting Sorceresses.

Here, let me help you.

[She brings a hoof to her chest, then thrusts it at Selphie -- casting a Cure from her stock.]

Look...we were all brought here because of Time Compression, right? Well, sometimes we're taken away by it, too. No choice in it, just like there was no choice in coming here.

[Oh Rainbow, you have no idea how much you just helped Selphie right now.]

Thanks!

But I was born on this world. This is my home!

[Rainbow's jaw drops, and then she smacks her forehead so hard she actually lifts a foot into the air.]

Why didn't you SAY so! Now I understand!

Well, why didn't you ask?

Because almost NOBODY who comes here by Time Compression was here first!

Which is why I need to report to the Headmaster! We won! We beat her!

...beat who?

[How can you be a cadet and not know that? Sheesh!]

Ultimecia.

...Whoa. That was like twenty years ago if I remember class right!

[Selphie pinches herself.]

Ow!

Are you serious?

I don't remember the exact number. I think it might've been longer.

Oh boy...

That explains a lot. So Time Compression got super mega bad and worse than we thought it would be.

Oh! I'm Selphie Tilmitt.

[Maybe you've heard of her.]

I'm Rainbow Dash! Nice to meet you!

Lisewise!

But is there any chance you have access to the third floor? No... you probably don't if you're still a cadet...

Maybe I should just head for the infirmary.

I have more Cure spells!

[Because of course that's the solution here! She casts another one without waiting for so much as an okay.]

I always keep plenty. You never know when something'll happen, after all!

Yeah, I try to keep a few in stock but we went through every single one.

[And that's why war sucks.]

[Don't get her started! She got shot a little while back and has a LOT to say on the subject!]

Ha, I just keep 'em in case I miss a turn and crash into the ground too hard. When you fly like I do, always pushing the edge, sometimes it happens.

[Ew. Don't give Selphie cause to worry so soon after she's arrived. D:]

So that's why there's rainbows trailing behind you then! It's kinda making me wonder if you could keep up with the Ragnarok now. It's still around right?

Oh yeah! I'm way faster than it. Wait'll I learn to fly it, then you'll see it do some real amazing things!

Hey! The Ragnarok is my baby! So if anybody's gonna fly it, it's gonna be me!

What?

Nuh-uh! I'm not specializing as a pilot to NOT fly that thing! I'm the best there IS in the air!

Yah-huh! You can be the co-pilot.

CO-pilot?!

Get back to me when you're a Wonderbolt and then maybe I'll think you're worth flying with! Till then, you can only watch in awe!

[She whips around Selphie casually, grinning like the cocky jock she is.]

Co-pilot.

There's no way I'm watching in awe until you tell just what the heck a Wonderbolt is.
