A Short Little Story About a Short Little Mage
Some words by me, The Author
Like you probably already have guessed this fanfic's about Vivi. This story takes place, well, let's say two years after the game. Vivi, our little blackmage friend, is living in Blackmage Village and has married a cute little blackmage girl who's name is Nini (Kinda cute ain't it?)(* Check a bit below for a little note). They've been married for around a year, maybe a little longer, but do not have any kids… Yet, at least… Nini really wants a baby or two you see, hehe ; ). Well, anyway… They're living nicely and happily in a small cottage that Vivi's built himself (eh, not ALL by himself; Zidane, Steiner, Dagger… yeah all of his friends were helping him out). Zidane 'n Dagger are married too, and they often come to Blackmage Village to pay Vivi and Nini a visit. Freya, Quina and Amarant aren't visiting very often, since they've moved together somewhere unknown. Eiko is living in Alexandria together with Zidane and Dagger (she's become something almost a daughter to them), so she's visiting when they are…

* Note: In the game Vivi's like nine years old, right? That would make him eleven years now (when the story starts, that is). It may seem pretty strange that he's married at the age of eleven, but you people just have to accept it…

Part One – The Village
Chapter 1
That spring day was great! With wonderful weather, the sun shining on the quiet, little Blackmage Village, no one could have foreseen the big events that was to occur. Vivi got up early, slid carefully out of the bed, not to wake Nini, and went out to the small kitchen that Nini had stuffed up completely with lots and lots of cooking stuff. He opened a window and let the morning breeze in. Nini came tiered in to the room, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"Good morning, Nini", Vivi said while taking bread, butter, oglop marmalade (a/n: don't ask me how that tastes…) and cheese out for breakfast.
"It truly is! Just look at the wonderful weather, dear". Nini opened another window and the golden sunshine flowed into the kitchen. Their cat, a reddish fur-ball named Mi, came silently in to the room while purring contentedly.
"Hello cutie! Where have you been all night?" said Nini and picked the cat up. Mi stroke her little face against Nini's, purring even more now. "Oh, she's so cute, tihi!" Nini's cute little laughter made Vivi smile (a/n: anyone seen Vivi smile before?).
"Mmm, she is", he said. Nini put the cat down again and sat down next to Vivi. Vivi looked at his wife. She was a little shorter than he was, and was wearing a white 'n pink nightdress. On her feet she had puffsy, pink slippers. (Another one of those "authors note": I won't even try explaining how her hair looked. I'm not even sure myself… Actually I don't think I have ever seen a blackmage femme…).
"What are you starring at?" She asked with a small smile.
"Um… eh… At you, actually", he answered embarrassed.
"Tihihi! You are so cute Vivi!" She gave him a big hug and then a wet kiss right on his mouth. "Oh, I love you so!" Another kiss and then another and then… Well, yeah, another… She gave him at least twenty kisses before she let go of him.
"I love you to Nini, but… um… shouldn't we eat breakfast now?" Nini gave him another one of those "tihihi" laughers, and then a last kiss. Then they ate.
Later that morning, when the two blackmages were working in their pumpkin garden, a company of knights on chocobos came riding into the village. One of them, apparently the leader since he held a standard in his hand, stopped not far from them.
"Hello friends!" He said and Vivi and Nini looked surprised at the man.
"Well, good day to you too, sir!" Vivi rose and bowed. The knight on the chocobo laughed.
"No need for that, I'm only a simple Chocobo Knight officer".
"I see… Eeh, then can I help you with anything?" Vivi was a little nervous so his voice sounded quite squeaky.
"Actually I think you can. I'm looking for the ruler of this nice li'l village, and if you could just gimme the directions…"
"Um… ruler…?" Vivi looked confused at the knight. "I'm… not sure I understand what you mean…"
"He means Fili, the elder mage", said Nini. Then she turned towards the knight. "He lives right there, on the top of that hill". She pointed at the largest of the village's houses (but still, it wasn't very big…), a comfortable looking cottage with smoke coming out from the chimney.
"Well thank you milady blackmage. Then me and my company should start movin". He turned around and yelled to his companions. Vivi and Nini watched the knights as they rode away.
"Hmm… Wonder what their business here might be…", said Nini.
"I really hope this doesn't mean trouble", Vivi answered her. She nodded and then shrugged her shoulders. They both returned to their work with the pumpkins and soon the Chocobo Knights were completely forgotten.
