A Week in the Life of Final Fantasy IX
Me:
Welcome to the fantasiest show on Earth! This week, we're taking an exclusive view in on the wonder game, Final Fantasy IX! Now, before we start, my good friend Eiko has something to say to you all!Eiko:
(as camera pans in on her) The author doesn't own Final Fantasy IX. But Squaresoft does…. And I'm in FFIX, so suck on that! (sticks out tongue)Me:
(does the same back to Eiko) Er… just read the story.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Voice Over:
Our story starts here, in the town of Alexandria, where our good friends from Final Fantasy IX are taking turns visiting each other. Just so you know what has been happening, I will keep you notified. As you all know, not every game has a happy ending. Well, our favourite character Kuja.. (stops and listens to something) WHAT?! You mean, he's NOT our favourite character?! WHO gave me these cue cards?! (hears stifled giggles)(camera pans in on Eiko, who is seemingly running away from something in the streets of Alexandria)
Eiko:
(stops running) I.. hope… that… rusty… old… knight… with… the… moogle… isn't… following… me… any… more… *puff, wheeze* (hears clanking noise) OH NO!Rusty Old Knight with Moogle:
(chases Eiko)Eiko:
GAHHHHHHH!!! (runs into a wall, knocking herself unconscious)Rusty Old Knight with Moogle:
LAYDEE EIKO! LAYDEE EIKO! (picks her up and runs off again)(camera pans in on a room, which is supposedly in the Alexandrian Castle)
Eiko:
(sleeping quietly on bed)(suddenly the door opens, and a figure appears)
Figure:
Eiko.. Eiko.. EIKO! Are you alright?Eiko:
Whoozawazza?Figure:
EIKO!Eiko:
Who's there?! I'm armed! (sits up and picks up a pillow)Figure:
It's me.. Queen Garnet.. or Dagger.. or Sarah. You decide.Eiko:
(flings herself at the figure) DAGGGGGGGGGER!Dagger:
(hugs the little girl, a little stunned) Eiko, hello.Eiko:
Where's ol' Ziddy?Dagger:
What do you mean by that? (hands on hips)Eiko:
Well, you married him, dincha?Dagger:
…….. No. (mumbles) Though I wish I did.Eiko:
What was that? Didn't quite catch that last part.Dagger:
Nothing.Eiko:
It's good to see ya again! I haven't seen you in.. er… how many fingers do I have?Dagger:
Exactly how hard did you hit your head?Eiko:
(shrugs) I have… 16 fingers.. so… I haven't seen you in 3 years!Dagger:
I'd say it's been about so long since we last saw each other.Eiko:
You don't have to speak so formally! Zidane told me how he taught you to speak like us!Dagger:
I guess all that training wore off.Eiko:
Oh yeah, before I forget, who was the Rusty Old Knight with the Moogle?Dagger:
I think it was Steiner. With a moogle who was trying to give a message to you, I believe.Eiko:
Oh… what was the message?Dagger:
It was a note from an Unspeakable.Eiko:
….?!Dagger:
Someone who works at the Ministry of Magic…Eiko:
????????!Dagger:
Oops… wrong story… (mumbles) Note to self: Burn all Harry Potter books in Alexandria.Eiko:
What did it say, Dags?Dagger:
0_o I believe the note cordially invited you to attend the Festival of Hunt, which is indeed being held in Lindblum.Eiko:
YAY!!!! I've never seen one of these before! Will you come?!Dagger:
YAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY!!!! I'm going too!Eiko:
Let's head off to Lindblum. If we're lucky, the train that goes through the water could be open today. (runs out of room)Dagger:
Train?! (quizzical glance at the place Eiko was, before following her with curiousity)(pan out on Eiko's room at Alexandria Castle)
(pan in on Dagger and Eiko standing beside each other on… {not a water train} an airship)
Eiko:
I can't believe we're here! Finally, we're in Lindblum!Dagger:
I get to see Uncle Cid again!Eiko:
YAY! DADDY!Dagger:
Daddy?Eiko:
He.. er… what's the word… adopted me? (she holds Dagger's hand as the pair jump off the airship and onto flat ground)Dagger:
Really? You're my sort of adopted cousin then! (smiles disdainfully)(fade out on the two friends walking into Lindblum)
(pan in on the two in the Business District, talking about the Festival of Hunt, which is being held tomorrow)
Eiko:
WOAH! (accidently runs into someone) HEY, YOU! HOW DARE YOU – (cut off) Dagger! It's him! It's SO Z… (trails off as the person turns around) SO not Zidane. (hides behind Dagger as she walks up)Dagger:
Zidane? (Eiko peeps at the person from behind Dagger's posterior)Person:
(is dressed like a bum, with a ratty old jacket that has suede patches on the elbows. His blonde hair is scraggly and hasn't been cut for awhile. Not to mention his beard, which reaches his upper chest. Dirty smudges are all over his face, the person also has a black eye from being knocked there. Beer cans are littered around his feet) ???Dagger:
Oh, sorry, I mistook you for someone else… someone I once knew.Bum:
Did you call me Zidane?Dagger:
Yes…Bum:
I was once called that. But I don't know what happened to that name. *burp*Dagger:
!!!! Zidane?! What the… excuse me for swearing… hell happened to you?Bum, who is supposedly Zidane:
Uh.. lemme place you in my head..Dagger:
!!!!Eiko:
?????Zidane:
Yeah.. I remember you… you're Helga, right?Dagger:
No! (hands on hips)Zidane:
Christine?Dagger:
NO!Zidane:
Oh, I know. You're Ratchel, the girl from next door.Dagger:
I'm Queen Garnet of Alexandria, but you knew me as Dagger.Zidane:
(shakes head, seemingly comes to senses) Dagger?! Is it really you?Dagger:
(whimpers) You.. forgot me? Ziiiiihhh---danee!Zidane:
Why are you here anyway?Dagger:
The Festival of Hunt, of course. Why are you here?Zidane:
Uhh… I forget.Dagger:
Eiko, guide him up to the castle. Ask Mister Artania and Regent Cid if they'll clean him up a little. I have a few errands to run first. I'll meet you back up there, okay?Eiko:
Yes ma'am! (takes Zidane's arm)(fade out on Dagger walking into a shop)
(pan in on Zidane and Eiko, chatting merrily as she brushes his hair. Zidane is sitting on a stool in the middle of the Conference Room)
Zidane:
Why are you here Eiko?Eiko:
I was invited for the hunt. Dagger decided to come along with me, for fun. I wonder where she is…Zidane:
Dagger… (mumbles) what happened to us?Eiko:
It's so obvious you two are still super hot for each other, even if it has been a few years (begins plucking stray hairs from Zidane's tail)Zidane:
Owwiee… you've grown up a lot, Eiko. How old are you? 7?Eiko:
Gee, you really did drink too much milk. I'm 36, you dummy. [A/N- She was hit on the head, remember?!]Zidane:
You're older than me?!Eiko:
(nods)Zidane:
Damn little brat.Eiko:
(innocently) Gee whiz, by golly, I've been a hankering to see you too.(pan in on the door, as it slams open, whilst Dagger walks in holding three shopping bags)
Zidane/Eiko:
Whatcha got there, Dags?Dagger:
0_o I picked up a few things for us. As a Queen, I have practically unlimited money, and I get discounts, so… Eiko, here's a new flute, if you're going to participate in the hunt. I think it's a Angel Flute… and a few accessories for you to equip.. Zidane, I wasn't sure if you were participating or not, but I still got you a few things too. And myself a new weapon or so, of course. ^_^;;Eiko:
GEE WHIZ! (plays flute)Zidane:
Spanks… no really… can I spank you?Dagger:
…. Later.Eiko:
Ooooooh!Zidane/Dagger:
^_____________________^Regent Cid:
(walks in, now a Hedgehog Pie) …..Eiko:
Guess you cheated on Hilda again, huh, papa?Cid:
(nods sadly)Zidane:
Heehee…Dagger:
(slips out quietly) Tee hee…Eiko:
Papa, when will you learn! Mama won't be pleased with you.Cid:
(nods sadly once more)(singing interrupts to slowly moving conversation)
"La la la la la la la la la la la la la la."
Zidane/Eiko/Cid:
DAGGER!Zidane:
To the telescope!(pan out on the three running upstairs)
(pan in on Dagger singing and examining the telescope with awe)
Dagger:
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la.Eiko:
La da fa ma ba… oops, wrong tune. ^^Dagger:
(spreads arms wide and jumps off the side of the building… luckily, her faithful summon Ixion is there to catch her… but wait… she doesn't have Ixion…so Dagger falls..)Eiko:
DAGGER!!!!!!A/N:
