Cue the music!

Shhhhhhhh
Shhhhhhhh
Selphe Tilmit is walking through garden, arms folded behind her back. The sunlight touches her face from the windows and she cheerfully smiles:
It's oh so quiet
Shhhhhh shhhh
Its oh so still
Shhhhh shhhhh
You’re all alone
Shhhhhh shhhhh
And so peaceful until...
She breaks into a run, singing to the top of her lungs - flyers of the summer festival flying out of her hands:
You fall in love
ZING BOOM!
The sky up above
ZING BOOM!
Is caving in
WOW BAM!
She pauses to elbow Instructor Quistis, who is very shocked to see the energenic girl so hyper in the morning. Selphe gives her a great big handful of flyers:
You’ve never been so nuts about a guy
You wanna laugh, you wanna cry
You cross your heart and hope to die...!
Just the same, she disappears down the hallway, looking for some other poor saps in the library:
Till its over
And then
Shhhhh shhhh
It’s nice and quiet
Shhhh shhhh
But soon again
Shhh shhhh
Starts another big riot...
Despite the girl with the pigtail's pleads, Selphe breaks out into high-pitch song, standing on the table - books and flyers going everywhere:
You blow a fuss!
ZING BOOM!
The devil cuts loose!
ZING BOOM!
So what’s the use
WOW BAM!
Of falling in love...
After being ousted, Selphe wanders into the dormitory where other students are still even asleep:
It’s oh so quiet
It’s oh so still
You’re all alone
And so peaceful until...
Once again, the screaming starts up. Doors open and annoyed faces glare out (including a very miffed Squall) as Selphe runs up and down the hallway cheerfully:
You ring that bell
BIM BAM!
You shout and yell
HI HO HO!
You broke the spell
Gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
This guy is gorge and I got hit
There’s no mistake – THIS IS IT!!!!
Squall and Zell both lift her up and throw her out into the courtyard. Kneeling on the cool cement, Selphe pouts at the blue sky:
Till it’s over
And then
It’s nice and quiet
Shhhh Shhhh
But soon again
Shhhhh Shhhh
Starts another big riot
Leaping up on her stage, she lifts up a microphone, singing out to passing-by students:
You blow a fuss
ZING BOOM
The devil cuts loose
ZING BOOM
So what’s the use
WOW BAM!
of falling in love...!
By now a large crowd has gathered and Selphe is happy. She decides to wrap things up because class is about to start:
The sky caves in
The devil cuts loose
You BLOW BLOW BLOW BLOW BLOW your fuse
AAAAAAAA!!!!
When you’ve fallen in love
She leaps down and runs all the way to class, Instructor Quistis and her classmates staring at her. She timidly goes to her seat and smiles.
Shhhhhhh…
