"Are you sure?" Selphie questioned as she looked at the handful of papers she'd been handed, with REJECTED stamped across them almost like Squall had enjoyed vetoing her carefully-planned and exceptionally awesome idea for a Garden festival.

"Cut it down to a quarter of the time, a third of the budget, and half the space and I'll reconsider," Squall said flatly. "It's a good festival, there's just too much of it."

Selphie sighed and nodded. Squall was probably right. It was just that once she'd started planning, it had been difficult not to... go all the way to the extreme! Possibly past the extreme!

Really, what he was asking her to do would still let them have an absolutely great festival and Selphie didn't doubt that Squall knew that. Maybe that was why...
