*Wow, that's quite a big sigh that starts of this post. It sounds very tired, indeed! And no wonder. It's been a bit of a roller coaster for Selphie lately - all the stuff at Topsy Turvy and, oh yeah, that little thing of killing off The Corpse King. But now she's got a healing hole in her body, and that's been keeping her to her bed, which isn't fun at all*

Oh maaaan, I wish this stupid thing would heal up already. Being in bed all day sucks! I mean, it was kinda cool for a while, just chilling and stuff. Woulda been nicer if I wasn't in so much pain, and if I could have a nice tasty cocktail to go with it! Anyone wanna entertain me for a while? I could sure use it!

But you know, even if I'm totally 101% bored outta my skull, I'm real proud of everyone's efforts lately. Look at what we can do when we all work together! Isn't it amazing? We totally kicked that creepy moron's butt!

...owie.

*Apparently, getting over-excited and punching the air when bandaged up can be a little bit painful*

And Valentine's Day is coming up soon so we all get to play! Isn't it awesome? A dance! I've been wanting to go to a proper dance for aaaaages. Seriously. Ages. I was gonna try and organise one myself but - this is even better! Everyone got some sweet to take for waltz? Better look out my dancing shoes! Yeah!~

"Valentine's Day?"

[Guess who knows nothing about the holiday!]

I know, right? I can't believe it's that time of year again already!

*Then she thinks about this a moment*

Wait - you DO know what Valentine's Day is, right?

Never heard of it.

Whaaaat?!

Okay, okay. Rose, get this. I mean it's seriously the best holiday ever! Valentine's Day is a day for love and romance! To celebrate how much you love someone! It's amazing! I'm so excited for the dance!

Oh.

[Yeah, it sounds like she's anything but thrilled.]

It seems pointless to me. Shouldn't one be expressing their feelings to their love all year round instead?

Huh?

Oh. Well, yeah, of course. But it's real nice to have an extra day to devote to it especially! Besides, it's an awesome excuse for a party!

That is not something that I am interested in.

[And the thought of being around all those happy couples is not that appealing.]

Aww... How come?

Personal reasons.

Since you do want to go to that dance, do you think you will be well enough for it?

You mean that you have a boyfriend? You could still go.

*Her voice falters and sounds a little less cheery*

Oh. I didn't think of that. I'm sure I'll be okay! I mean.. the dancing will be slow so.. it'll be fine.

Not quite. I had a fiance.

[Key word being "had".]

And I imagine someone will help hold you up. Well, now you have a reason to keep resting and take it easy so that you can heal faster.

You have a fiance back home?

*Selphie figures that's where the 'had' part comes in*

Resting? No way! I gotta start walking around and stuff, and get used to moving before the dance!!

No, I had one. He is gone now.

[well, she has to give the girl credit for her enthusiasm.]

Just try to take it easy. You do not want to push yourself too hard to the point that you end back at square one.

Oh - oh Rose, I'm so sorry...

*And Selphie really does sound very sorry - she had no idea, of course, that Rose might have lost someone, but the thought of it is terrible*

No way - I don't wanna be in bed while the dance is going on. Here's hoping that I can find someone to hold me up! Heh.

I do not want any pity for it.

[Which is true. She only said something because Selphie asked.]

Just find a balance between rest and working on getting your strength back. You will recover much faster that way.

Oh. O-okay.

*Selphie guesses that maybe now isn't the time to ask more about it*

Alright. I'll do my best! I don't wanna be bandaged up forever!

[Good idea, Selphie. Rose would probably tell her to mind her own business if she asked now.]

I wish you luck then.

Thanks!

You'll come to the dance too, though, right?

No. Someone should stay with the ship and that is where I will be.

Are you sure...? You'll be missing out on a lot of fun...

I am sure. Formal dances are not really my thing. [Nor is being surrounded by all those happy couples when she's starting to miss Zieg again.]

Besides, I do not own a dress, much less one that is fitting for such an event.

Are you sure? We could go dress shopping! I bet we'd find one that would look real good on you!

I do not need a dress since I am not going.

Oh...well, if you're sure...

I mean, we could always, like, go to another dance another time, right?

I am sure.

..... And I will think about going if other dances come up.

Great! I look forward to us going to a dance some time soon, then!

Is it really that important to have a date on Valentine's Day?

[Guess who's never had one.]

Well, no, not exactly. It's super nice to have one, but hanging out with friends is good fun too.

*Match-making senses are pinged*

Are you looking for a date?

[H-how forward, we've barely just met.]

I've never really thought about looking for one.

...N-not that I'd say no.

*Forward? Selphie knows no such thing!*

Ooh! Want me to help you find one?

Th-that's really not necessary! Valentine's Day isn't a big deal.

[Yes please.]

Well, sure it's not necessary, but it's definitely fun!

*All the smiling going on right now*

So. What kinda guy do ya like?

O-oh, um. They have to be pretty, and dress well. They need to be strong, and gentle, and kind...

[She can go on and on.]

You have good taste!

*A long list, but Selphie totally gets that. It's normal to her*

You should go to dance and see if you can find a pretty, strong, gentle, kind guy there!

Is it really that easy?

Well, you might not find exactly the kind of guy that you're looking for - but it's a good place to start! And there will be lots of men looking for a beautiful lady to dance with!

[B-beautiful. She doesn't know how to respond to that.]

I'm... not a very good dancer.

Tee hee! That's okay! You just need to find a handsome guy who will teach you! Or... you can sit somewhere to sit and talk together under the stars - so romantic!
