Father-and-Son TripChapter 1: I'm an Action Hero!
With Sorceress Ultimecia defeated and SeeDs dispatched all around the world to clean up the mess she left our heroes with, everything was back to normal again.
"Kiros, I'm bored," a voice came out muffled by decks and decks of documents piling on the table.
"Laguna…" Kiros answered sternly.
Moments of silence followed as Laguna Loire, president of Esthar continued on with his boring daily work of signing papers.
Thirty seconds later, "Ward, I'm bored."
"…" Ward answered sternly.
"Fine! I'll go back to my ever so exciting adventure of reading and signing documents!" Laguna exclaimed.
You would have thought he had given up the idea of protesting against his boredom when a full minute went by with no sound, but suddenly Laguna stood up from his desk and yelled, "Yeah! We're men of adventure, we shouldn't be cooped up in a stupid office all day, I say we go pay Squall a visit!"
Simultaneous smacking of foreheads was heard. "Laguna, tons of documents are still on your desk from last month, and you want to leave them there for another month again?"
Laguna walked from his desk in an action hero-ish way. "Kiros, life is too short, why not seize the day and go on an adventure, just like the old days? Let us go down in history with the heroic deeds we performed!"
"You do realize we're already over fifty, don't you?"
Ward gave a nod of agreement to Kiros' statement.
Laguna looked at them both with squinted eyes, "Look, are you coming or not?"
Kiros and Ward looked at each other. "Alright, just to keep you out of trouble."
"Alright! Then that does it," Laguna exclaimed as he made a little victory dance, "We're gonna take those giant running bird thingies and…"
"Chocobos," Kiros corrected him.
"Right, chococos, and then we're riding them out of Esthar, cross the Horizon Bridge, then to Timber, I wonder if Timber Maniacs is still standing, then leave the chococos in Timber, and then we'll take the train to Balamb, then we'll walk to Balamb Garden! Perfect! The whole trip shouldn't take more than a week!"
"Riiight, why not just take an airship?" suggested Kiros, knowing all too well that Laguna might lead them astray on the planet.
"You call yourselves men?! Oh puh-lease, you guys are a bunch of sissies! We're taking the chococos! Oh look, a Ruby Dragon! Better have your GFs junctioned everyone!" exclaimed Laguna, pointing and running towards an imaginary monster, out of the presidential palace.
Kiros and Ward could only shake their heads and laugh.

Author's note: Yeah! My first fanfic! I started writing this fanfic because I noticed that there aren't many fanfics featuring Laguna as the main character, which is a bummer since he is soo hot (not to mention funny to write!) If you spotted some errors I made in the whole story, please don't hesitate to tell me, thanks! Enjoy!
