[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?

also, what is that icon. I am going to have nightmares. O_O

[selphie_t]

[And once Selphie's heart stops hammering in her chest, her lower lip juts out into a pout.]

Are you trying to scare me to death or something?!

It's great, right? :D

[laughafterme]

OOPS! Sorry! Are you still alive?! I don't think the Headmaster would like me killing people! Especially new ones!

[Oh, yes, she knows you're new, Selphie.]

[selphie_t]

Yeah. I'm still alive and definitely awake now.

Can you tell me what's going on around here?

LMAO that was beautiful.

[laughafterme]

AWESOME! Right now, there's classes going on, so you should really be in one!

/bows

[selphie_t]

Um... maybe later.

No really, what's going on around here?

[laughafterme]

Uh...I just told you! We have classes going on!

[selphie_t]

Besides classes.

[laughafterme]

Ummmm....the holidays?

[What does this girl wanna know?!]

[selphie_t]

[If Selphie was Squall, she'd be facepalming by now. Not the dumb stuff!]

Okay. Let's try this again! Are you a SeeD or a Cadet?

[laughafterme]

I'm an instructor for Home Economics! [She extends her hand to Selphie.] I'm Pinkie Pie! What's your name?

[selphie_t]

[Selphie puts her hand in Pinkie's and gives it a firm shake with a bright smile on her face.]

I'm Selphie Tilmitt.

[laughafterme]

Nice to mee ya! Did you just get back or something?

[Still shaking that hand!]

[selphie_t]

[Ow. Ow. Ow. Pinkie, stop shaking her hand, you're gonna break the poor girl!]

Likewise! Um... I guess you could say that.

[laughafterme]

[Shakes that hand some more before letting go.]

Then how would YOU say that? Because, of course, you would know better than me since't YOU'RE the one who got here...maybe!

[selphie_t]

[Selphie grimaces at the throbbing of her arm now. Thanks Pinkie.]

Uh... huh?

[Confused Selphie is confused.]

[laughafterme]

Where're you from?! You DO know where you're from, right?!

OR DID YOU FORGET?!

DID THE TIME COMPRESSION GET YOU?!

[selphie_t]

[What's with the yelling?! Selphie steps back from Pinkie warily with confusion clear on her face.]

I'm from Garden.

[Is she seriously having this conversation again?]

[laughafterme]

OOOOOOOOOH.....then WELCOME BACK!

[Pinkie reaches into her pocket and takes out confetti, throwing it over Selphie. While it's falling, she pulls out a party blower and gives it a big--

FWOOOOOOOOT!]

I wish I had known an hour ago! I would have thrown you a welcome back party!

[selphie_t]

Thank you! I didn't know I was gonna back here an hour ago though. It's great to back home.

[laughafterme]

That's too bad! Well, maybe next time! [Because...there will be a next time!] What will you do now that you're back?! Are you a cadet or SeeD?

[selphie_t]

First! Infirmary for a patch job or a cure job or whatever. Second! Get some sleep because I am bushed. [And still full of energy.] Third! Resume active duty as a SeeD after I've given the Headmaster a report or eat. I haven't really decided yet.

[laughafterme]

UNDERSTOOD! [She salutes Selphie, which is a rather well practiced and clean salute.] C'mon! I'll get you to the infirmary! Then we can get you some SUPERLICIOUS food before you sleep! OR.....after?

[She already forgot the order which Selphie wanted to do things.]
