It was close to the Solstice one night. I was too much of a procrastinator, so I just waited until the exact last minute to do my shopping. "Yes," I thought, "Only a short line before I'm partying!" Finally, this one dude was in front of me. Little punk type, wild tattoo on his face, hair that just proves he listened to more New Wave music than anyone I'd seen in a while. He had the last pair of Lightweights in his hands. (Eh, those are really only good to convert anyway, so let him have his fun, eh?) He went up to the cash register. I heard his conversation quickly:
"Dude, couldja let me buy these shoes?
My mom's gotta have a gift,
I think these are kick-ass,
this way she won't get miffed,
I think she needs some shoes like this,
Because she's all old and stuff,
She'll probably drop now any day,
These shoes as a gift wouldn't be gay,
I think these will be a ray of light
If she has to meet Hyne on this night...."
He took out this huge chunk of money. "My entire SeeD paycheck this week. Skimped on potions, but hey, momma would do the same thing, right?" He put it on the table. The cashier counted up the money on the counter. "Sorry, man, you're 500 gil short. "WHAT? YOU OVERPRICED PIECES OF SHIT! THAT'S 30000 gil THERE!" I saw a fierce look in his eyes.
"Well, then I'm gonna steal these shoes,
Cause they'll be on my mom's feet,
I've been training all my life,
So stop me, I'll knock you on your seat,
It's the night before Solstice,
After this you'll likely need to go somewhere,
So you'd be smart to let me go,
Or else you won't be able to make it there,
I shouldn't sing my plans like this,
The price for these shoes you will miss,
And if you try and step to my might
You'll end up meeting Hyne on this night..."
I thought about what that kid said. He made enough sense to realize what to do. I looked at the material goods I bought, and just thought "SCREW YOU!"
"I'm gonna steal my stuff too,
It's the way of Solstice Eve,
If you try and stop me here,
I'll drag you by your nappy-ass weave,
It's time for you to feel our pain,
Gonna screw this store like it was Chasey Lain,
I've just been looking for a fight,
who cares what Hyne taught us tonight!"
I ran after that kid. "Um, dude! Those people are running after us! We're probably goners!"
"Grab my hand, man!" I did just that. "RUN LIKE YOU'VE NEVER RUN BEFORE." The kid yelled out "MY FINAL HEAVEN..." What happened next was just a blur. The next thing I remember, I was in the parking lot.
"Dude. That was so cool."
