Chapter 6.

�.

Selphie dumped the huge pile of folders onto the table in front of herself and Rinoa. �I think this time we should get a few possibilities for each person and then narrow it down.�

Rinoa nodded. �Good idea, and I�m picking my own date this time.�

�I don�t think you gave Clarence a good enough chance.�

�Well I would like to date someone who wants to talk about something other than his favourite type of cheese.�

�That was just small talk.� She laughed.

�Hmm yes very small.�

�So.� She picked up Seifer�s, Zell�s and Squall�s profile and set them in corner. �We�ll start with our friends first.�

�Of course.�

The door opened suddenly and Irvine marched in.

�Hey! This is private business!�

�Yeah, yeah I want in.�

�In? In where?�

�In the business I want to help.�

The girls shared dubious looks. �I don�t know, it�s sort of just ours.�

�But I know Seifer and Zell better than you two and I know Squall as well as either of you. I can help!�

�And makes you think we need help?�

�I heard about the last few disasters.�

�We�re just starting out there are bound to be a few hiccups.�

�Hiccups? Most of couples you sent out came back alone.�

�And what makes you think you can do better?�

�How many people have you dated or slept with in the past month?�

�Counting Terrence? One.�

�Rinoa?�

�One and a half.�

They gave her an odd look.

She blushed. �I�d rather not talk about it.�

�How many have you then? One per hour I suspect.�

�One more than the two of you put together plus two.�

�Five or five and a half? That�s less than I expected, what happened?�

�I�m saving up for someone in particular.�

The girls shared a look. �Can we guess?�

�No.�

�Does it start with a �S�?�

He ignored them, pulling up the stool from the dressing table. �Now about this dating agency thing I think-�

�Thing? This is not a thing, it�s a serious business adventure.�

He blinked. �Yeah okay, anyway-�

Selphie folded her arms looking put out.

�Zell does not want to play wife-�

�We know, but we didn�t know that Sandi was like that.�

�See? That�s the problem, you don�t know people like I do.� He rummaged through the pile. �Suki might work well with Rikuo, they�re both good sound guys. Suki�s a life of the party guy and Rikuo a would be life of the party if he had the courage and the right encouragement and Suki definitely good at the encouragement part.�

Selphie gave him a look. �How do you know all this stuff?�

He smiled. �I�m a people person.� He put the two profiles together.

�We were going to start with Seifer and Zell and Squall, until your majesty objects?�

�Nah I�ll do it your way.� He picked up Zell�s file.

�We know Zell, there�s nothing you can say that will shock us about him.�

�Really? Well last black out the four of us guys were stuck in the secret area of the training centre but the stupid electronic doors and we got to talking and playing truth or dare to pass the time.�

�You played truth or dare? How old are you 12?�

�Anyway some interesting facts were found out that night.� He looked at Zell picture. �Lets see Zell�s more easy to read than the other two, though sometimes covers up his emotions with insults and getting angry. Likes his food, looks up to his grandfather, maybe a bit of mummy�s boy.� He chuckled. �He�s more fond of Seifer than he�d care to admit, he�d probably want someone that�s able to look after themselves while not trying to mother him.�

Selphie frowned. �Well I knew all that too!�

�So o� wise one who do you suggest?�

�I�d say Seifer.�

Rinoa laughed. �I realize that is never going to work, I mean I know they have some feelings there but let�s be honest here they�re both idiots!�

�If we set them up they won�t go.�

�It�s a blind date, surprise them and send them to- oh I don�t know- Deling city or something with a one way ticket and an one bed hotel room and let the romance bloom.�

The girls stared doubtfully at him. �Or- most likely- they�d kill each other.�

�Do you not trust me?�

�No!� She said in unison.

�Ladies I�m hurt.� He had a hand over his heart.

�Couldn�t we just send them on a blind date in Balamb?�

�No, that won�t work if they know they can just run to garden and blame us.�

�Fine.� Selphie frowned at Irvine. �Fine, we�ll try it your way then if it goes wrong I�ll tell Seifer it was your idea.�

The cowboy grinned. �No probs.�

�What about Squall?� Rinoa asked.

�You could set Squall up with me?�

They gave him a look.

�Or not?�

�You�re not on the register, you don�t count.�

He held out a hand. �Let�s have a look at the potential guys then.�

Rinoa handed him six files. �I rather liked these for Squall.�

Irvine smirked. �All of them?�

�One of them.�

�Well six dates in a week, I�m sure Squally could fit them all in.�

�Just hurry up and pick one so I can see if I agree or not.�

Irvine looked at the first one. �Too ugly.�

He put it down.

�He is not ugly!�

�He is compared to Squall!�

�He�s too short.� He looked the next one. �Big nose.�

Rinoa rolled her eyes.

�Now I�ve meet him.�

�And?�

�And I didn�t like him.� He added that file to the no good pile.

�Too lazy.� He put in in the pile and looked at the last one. �Too�. Too�.�

�Yes?�

�He� He has freckles.� He added the file to the no good pile.

�So? You know a lot of people find that cute.�

�Well I don�t� at least not in men and Squall won�t either.� He sighed. �They�re all no good.�

�Well�� Selphie picked up the remaining files, all 45 of them. �Here you go, have fun looking through that lot.�

�I�ll let you know what I decide.� He started looking.

�This could take a while.�

�What do we tell Seifer and Zell, they will want to know something?� Rinoa said.

Selphie grinned. �We�ll make up names for their dates, like Fred smith and John Jones.�

Rinoa frowned. �Or something more imaginative and realistic.�

�Bert Jones?�

�We�ll tell them we�re sending everyone to Deling for a special date that will no doubt let the romance bloom and then we�ll tell them the dates.� Rinoa decided.

�I�ll do it!� Selphie yelled.

�But I�m coming too in case you get yourself into trouble.�

�Me? Trouble?�

�.

After the war some lounges for the Seeds to hang out in were added to garden, one in particular was mostly just the gang�s, not intentionally but Seifer scared everyone else away.

Zell sat up on the sofa looking at the blank TV in a bored trance.

Seifer was sitting at the other end of the sofa, suddenly deciding he wasn�t comfy sitting like that and moved to lay across the sofa with his legs up. Seifer�s legs dropped onto Zell�s lap only to get slapped away.

�Get off!�

The legs tried again.

�Get! Off!�

�Oh come on Chickie I want to spread out and you�re in the way!�

�Tough.� He pushed Seifer�s feet to the floor.

Selphie burst into the room. �I have good news!�

Rinoa snuck in after her and leaned on the back of the couch.

�I have sorted out more dates for you today!�

�That�s good news?� Zell asked.

Seifer smirked. �Good, good. Ow! What the hell was that for Chickie?�

�Stop being cheerful it�s depressing!�

�Well excuse me, you�re usually the cheerful one and I don�t complain do I?�

�That�s because whenever you�re around I�m suddenly miserable!�

Selphie laughed. �Okay guys, calm down.�

�So who�d I get?� Seifer asked.

�Well before I say that, we�re doing special dates this time and sending everyone to Deling with a hotel key to meet their date and find out who has the matching key.�

Seifer made a face. �That sounds lame.�

�Don�t we even get a name?�

�Well Zell you�re got�.� She looked at her paper she was holding to look up the names. The paper was really a blank sheet and she was making it up as she went.

�Leo Ranger.�

�I�ve never heard of him.�

�You wouldn�t he�s not from around here. And Seifer you�ve got�. Fred Sm-�

�Hedger!� Rinoa said.

Selphie frowned at her and Seifer looked round at Rinoa then back at Selphie. �Smhedger?�

�Yeah, it�s� a� Trabian name.�

Zell frowned. �I�m starting to think Trabian people are really strange, with all the Trabian traditions you keep telling us about.�

�Maybe that�s just Selphie.� Seifer whispered loudly. �Ow!� He laughed when she hit him on the head.

�So Fred Smhedger huh? Did you make that up?�

�No that�s his name!�

He gave her a doubtful look.

She glanced at Rinoa. �Oh okay yes I made it up, I�m not telling you who your date is it�s a surprise.�

He shrugged. �I like surprises.�

She grinned. �Really? Great!� meeting Rinoa more sceptical eyes.

This one was going to be interesting.
