“ah..eheh…okay. ” Wow and Tidus thought he was pushy when it came to things. It was funny how Selphie reminded him of Rikku a bit, the thought brought a small smile to his lips. The tanned youth began to wonder if he should introduce those two to each other sometime, they just might get along.
Scratching his head in embarrassment and finally placing it back at his side he nodded. ” Alright, lead the way Miss Garden Committee leader.”
“Whoo-hoo! Alright!” she happily chirped, grabbing Tidus by the arm and leading him down towards the beach. She had previously overheard two people talking about Blitzball and was extremely intrigued. She got so excited at the thought of trying out this foreign sport!
“I was thinking, maybe you could show me how to play blitzball? It sounds like a whole lot of fun!” Hopefully, she could persuade him enough to agree and then maybe she could truly cheer him up.
"You and Zell need to go out on a date. Misses Nezbit is totally diggin on ya."
“T-Tidus… Not you too! Zell’s not my type!”
“haha.. it worked, don’t worry. See look? I’m rollin’ around in smiles.” He took a gloved hand and touched one of the lilies in his hair.
“Thanks. I appreciate it.” While the blitz ace felt a bit silly it was still nice of Selphie to worry about him.
Canting her head to side she flashed Tidus a small smile, “You sure everythings okay?” If there was one thing she was good at it was sensing when people were unhappy. Selphie strived on making everyone around her as happy as she was.
“C'mon, we should go do something fun! And I won’t be taking no for an answer!”
….”You’re lucky I’m a nice guy. I’m still wearin’ these flowers…” //hugs
“I put the moonlilies in your hair to make you smile… Guess it didn’t work, huh?”
“Well it’s pretty easy. Basically it’s like … you dribble the ball from one end of the court to another and you can either kick or throw the ball in the goal , but ya gotta watch out fpr the goalie. But here’s the best thing about it… it’s all underwater. Really the hard part is mastering how to hold your breath for a long time. “
“That all sounds so difficult! Maybe we could go to the beach someday and try it out?”
“Got no problem with that!”
“You know how to play?! You totally got to show me!”
//leaves a little box of chocolates here with a small note// 'Hey Selphie it's Tidus. I know we don't talk much but hey don't be afraid to come hang out with me sometime. Maybe I can show you around my terf or you can show me around your neck of the woods? Anyway hope you enjoy these. Bought them the other day and I thought you seemed like the candy lover type -Tidus'
“Nom nom nom~”
"Yup, we need to pair up Misses Nezbit and Bartz. I'm sure Bartz could show him a great time at a party." //laughing like an idiot right now//
“We could set up a tea party for the two~? And make sure they both dress in their prettiest pink dresses! It will be glorious!”
"Ahaha funny you mention Zell, I kinda noticed.. I think someone's got a thing for the blockhead." //whistles~
“Who?! Ooh, is it Bartz~?”
"Selphie... pssst Selphie~"
“What is it Tiddles~? We gonna gang up on Zell again?”
“Squallie-poo?” Pfft, he’d have to use that at some point to tease the commander sometime. Well he had been spending a good chunk of time with Squall lately but….
Tidus laughed at the young woman’s elbowing , turning his head away from her, rolling his eyes and shaking his head. ” I highly doubt it..if anything I’d hope It’d be the other way around. But nah, I just spaced a bit…I ahh..well yknow I got some stuff going and my mind kinda just wandered. But how bout you..how do you know the grump? He an old boyfriend of yours?”
Boyfriend?! That made her want to drop to the floor in a fit of giggles, “Nah, he’s not my type.” She laughed, poking her tongue out at him. “Well, Squall and I grew up together!” It was half the truth really. She couldn’t really recall when she first arrived at the orphanage or when she left… That part of her memory always remained blank.
“Oh, he doesn’t really like being called that. He never complains though, keeps all of that up in that big grumpy head of his!” the brunette chirped, “but you totally should try it sometime! The face he pulls is hilarious!"
“Kill-joy? ahaha!He’s a friend of mine, we met..uh…” Oh , this was difficult to explain. They had met, but then re-met(?). Oh, perhaps it was just easier to mention about the ‘re-meeting’ part. It would be too complicated to explain about meeting previously and Tidus having no memory of it.
”We met not too long ago, we’re pretty close now and I think I annoy the heck outta him but it’s cool. But hey good to know he’s got a girl like you for a friend, the grump needs more bubbly people around him..” Well maybe not too bubbly..but Selphie seemed just abut right.
Selphie observed her new friend closely as he spoke; she noted how he stopped to ‘gather his thoughts’ in between sentences, “I think Squallie-poo’s rubbing off on you! You totally just zoned out there for a sec!” she couldn’t help but giggle aloud, “Wanna share your thoughts? Hmm~?” she playfully teased, elbowing him slightly.
“Selphie huh? Cute name for a cute girl. Well hey if nobody wants to help then I guess..if you’re looking for recruits I could help out sometime.. Ah! Hold on..Garden…Garden…isn’t that the.. place Squall works at? You two wouldn’t happen to know each other would ya? “
“Yup-yup! I know that major kill-joy! Although I haven’t spoken to him in such a long time…he seems to be always busy with ‘work stuff’ blah blah…! How do you guys know each other anyway?”
“No not really…wanna fill me in on the details? by the way I’m sittin’ here talking to ya and I don’t even know your name. I’m Tidus.. and you are…?”
“Its like this huuuuge party in the Garden’s ballroom at the end of every year! But I’m afraid we won’t be having one this year…no one hardly ever wants to volunteer. Oh, and the name’s Selphie! Nice to meet'cha Tidus.”
