Summary: The sequel to this and this. I promise I'll stop someday. Just not yet xD
An Actual Summary: Laguna comes to visit, and Selphie discovers that GFs are perfectly capable of doing things other than fight. Or cast Reflect on random people. Yep.
When Xu came across the crowd of four people in the doorway of Squall's office, she was not amused. The presence of Quistis, however, made her feel less irked. At least someone was trying for some sort of order.
Still, the sight of one irritated Squall Leonhart, one petulant Rinoa Heartilly, and one pouty Selphie Tilmitt and a ton of paperwork everywhere on Squall's office... it was enough to give any lawful good and conscientious citizen (like herself) a headache.
"Commander, sir," Xu said tersely, announcing her presence to the room.
"Xu," Squall replied, all the while keeping his gaze fixed on Selphie, who was currently looking anywhere but him. She seemed to be looking up at the ceiling; a pretty rude expression in Xu's opinion.
"The President of Esthar and his associates are here for the scheduled meeting."
Squall blinked.
"That's... a little early. I'll go now. Is he in the meeting room?"
"He said he'd be there as soon as he was done playing cards with Brian."
Squall very nearly facepalmed. Trust Laguna to get sidetracked by a running boy... did Brian even know he was playing against the president of Esthar?
"Right," he finally said, and turned to the rest of the girls. They all backed one step away from him. Squall didn't care.
"Well? You promised," he said, nodding his head towards the paperwork.
Silently, though Rinoa was the last to cave in from Squall's firm gaze, they began clearing up the papers that had fallen to the floor as a result of Carbuncle's appearance.
"And lastly, when I get back, I don't want to see any GFs in my office."
The girls continued doing the paperwork in silence, wishing that they had never begged Squall to treat them and the rest of the orphanage gang to dinner in the first place.
Instead of focusing on her current task, however, Selphie was trying to mentally communicate with Carbuncle, who didn't seem at all intent on replying. She sighed in frustration and thought about Bahamut, Cerberus and Diablos. Those were the only three GFs they had who spoke directly to them. Does Shiva talk? Squall doesn't usually talk about it. Maybe that's why he spends so much time being quiet. He's talking to Shiva. Or maybe it just doesn't happen. I guess some GFs don't talk ...
"Rinny?"
"Hmm?"
"Does Diablos talk to you?"
Rinoa looked up and giggled at Selphie's perplexed look.
"Well, no, but that's mostly because he's not interested in talking to mortals?"
She paused for a bit after saying that, her eyes glazed over. Alarmed, Selphie hopped over to her, scrutinizing her face carefully. As she was about to shake Rinoa, however, the door opened and Squall walked in, heading directly towards the stack of paperwork.
"I need the report for Balamb Garden's annual mission budget... where'd I put it?"
Selphie perked up when she heard this, although she suddenly had a bad feeling about it.
"That report?" Quistis repeated, looking thoughtful. "I think Selphie had it last."
Everyone in the room (including Rinoa, who had gone back to normal) turned to face Selphie.
"Ah... haha... I don't ... know where it is?"
"..."
"......."
"..... I'm serious! I don't know where it is. I was holding it though..."
"I think you dropped it when you summoned Carbuncle," Rinoa said tentatively.
"There's nothing on the floor," Quistis said, immediately getting up to search.
"Great... I'm supposed to go back to Laguna and tell him a GF ate the report."
"....I'm sorry..."
"...Whatever. Laguna will just have to deal --- SELPHIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING ---"
For the second time that day, Carbuncle appeared. It scanned the room quickly, before fixing its gaze on Selphie. The ruby on its forehead glowed a bit when it saw her.
"Hey Carbuncle," Selphie said softly, "Did you accidentally take Squall's report to your nest?"
Carbuncle flicked an ear at her in response.
"....Nest?" repeated Squall faintly, before facepalming.
Selphie grabbed a random piece of paper, holding it up to show Carbuncle.
"See? It's something like this. Something you don't usually have..."
Carbuncle's ears lifted up, and then it darted forward to grab the paper from Selphie's grasp. It disappeared into the hole it came from, although the hole didn't vanish with it. Rinoa and Quistis scrambled to make sure no other papers fell into the vortex.
"It better not bring a second Moogle Flute," Squall said, eyeing the hole distastefully.
"I didn't think you would hope for it to come back," Rinoa said, holding Angelo back from going to sniff the vortex.
"You make me sound like I'm the most cynical bastard in the world."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"I'm offended," Squall announced.
"No, I don't think you're a bastard," Selphie mused, grinning at him a little. He managed a corner-smile, something Selphie dubbed whenever Squall lifted one corner of his mouth in an attempt to smile.
Carbuncle returned in what could only be seen as triumph, brandishing two pieces of paper in its mouth. It trotted over delicately to Selphie, where she held out her hand. Carbuncle relinquished the papers, backed away a few steps and cocked its head at Squall.
"Thanks!" Selphie cooed, beaming proudly. She checked the papers; indeed, one was the random piece of paper and the other was the report that Squall needed. She handed it over to Squall, who looked vaguely interested in the little GF staring at him.
"Well, good work, Selphie, but I have to get back to the meeting. Laguna might join us for dinner later," Squall added as an afterthought, his brow furrowing at the thought of his father hanging out with his friends.
"Okay, see you later," said Quistis, grinning a bit at the way Carbuncle kept looking at Squall. Shouldn't the GF be gone by now?
"Say bye to Squall, Carbuncle!" said Selphie, giggling.
Squall turned around, most probably to deliver a sarcastic remark, but was shocked into silence by Carbuncle suddenly casting Reflect on him.
"What the..? Selphie!"
