The Locks
--------------------
The kids sat in bed. Seifer was poking at Zell's arm that he bruised making Zell yell and whine. Sefie and Irvine were playing catch from three beds away. Quistis was humming "Home on The Range" while Squall sang the verses.
"Okay kids. Time for bed." Sis said sticking her head into the room.
"See-fur's being mean!" Zell yelled.
"Cry baby!" Seifer screamed at him.
"Am not!" Zell replied.
Selphie laughed. Squall rolled his eyes.
"Are too!" Seifer continued.
"Nuh uh!" Zell retaliated.
"Uh huh!!!" Seifer added.
"Stop now!" Ellone screamed.
"This is so borrrrrrring!" Irvine whined.
Sis shrugged. "How 'bout I'll tell you a bedtime story."
"Sure!" Quistis said.
"Okay, here goes. Once upon a time in Winhill there was a little girl named Quisty Locks."
"Quisty Locks? Ha ha ha!" Seifer laughed and pointed.
Ellone groaned. "Who was going to visit her sick friend, Seifer Locks, who lived in the woods just south of Winhill, and give him a potion to make him feel better."
Quistis giggled at Seifer. Seifer stuck out his tongue. "At least I'm not Quisty Locks." Seifer murmured.
"Well at least I live in the town not the icky smelly woods!" Quistis screamed.
"Quiet!" Sis hissed. "Let me finish the sorry, ok? Well on her travel to Seifer Locks' house she met up with a big scary grendel. Quisty Locks got worried and said, 'Don't eat me Mr. Grendel!' the grendel said," Sis coughed a little and made her voice go really low, "'Ok little girl, I would like your potion though.'"
"Monsters can't talk!" Irvine protested.
"It's just a story!" Squall replied. "And I wanna hear more!"
Sis smiled. "Ok. Quisty Locks said 'I need this potion to make Seifer Locks, who lives not far from here, feel better!' The grendel sighed and walked away. Quisty Locks continued her journey. What she didn't know was that the evil grendel was following her. An hour later Quisty Locks got to Seifer Locks' house. The grendel burst through the door. 'I will eat you up and your little friend two!' Seifer Locks hid under the bed. Then a group of SeeDs were walking by. One could hear Seifer Locks scream. They were Seffie Locks, Squally Locks, Zelly Locks, and Irvy Locks. They all burst through the door. Zelly Locks pulled out a cookie from his lunchbox. 'Wouldn't you want good food like this?' The grendel smiled and ate the cookie. Quisty Locks, Seifer Locks, Seffie Locks, Squally Locks, Zelly Locks, Irvy Locks, and their knew pet grendel lived in the woods south of Winhill in the little cabin of Seifer Locks where they lived happily ever after. The end."
Sis looked across the room. All the kids were asleep peacefully. She quietly exited leaving the door open. As soon as Ellone's footsteps couldn't be heard anymore all the kids opened their small little eyes. "Let's go light the fireworks now!" Seofer exclaimed. All the young kids nodded and hopped out the window and headed down to the beach.
The End
