Final Fantasy 9 - Engulfed in Stupidity

Chapter 1 - Capture the Princess

Where…am I…?

Darkness…is all I can see…

Can…I move…?

Voice: WAKE UP!

(slapping noises)

Zidane: Huh? What?

Guy: How many times must I tell you, YOU DON'T LIVE HERE! Now get out of my bathtub so I can shower.

Zidane: Geesh, fine.

The thief exited the house, and looked around on the streets of Lindblum.

Zidane: What to do?

A person came by.

Blank: Hey Zidane, sleeping in the wrong house again?

Zidane: Yea, but turns out I slept in the bathtub instead of the bed.

Blank: Come on, we have a job. Let's get to the castle.

At the castle…

Cinna: Hey guys.

Blank: The meeting's in the other room, come on.

The team went into a room.

Baka: Hurry up maggots. Alright, here's the deal. We're heading to Alexandria to perform a play, and guess what? You're not getting paid!

Hurrah!

The team got on the theater ship, and discussed their tactics.

Baka: Alright. Let's review. We're going to play, "I Want to be Your Canary" to distract the city of Alexandria.

Marcus: I thought you were doing this to get filthy rich.

Baka: Yea, now shut up Marcus, you're playing the lead role.

Marcus: Don't worry, I had the lead role to my first grade play, "The Ugly Duckling."

Cinna: That play went horribly wrong. You went berserk and attacked all the other staff members.

Marcus: And that is horrible how?

Blank: As long as he can stall, I'll let out these oglops and cause havoc in the city. That's your cue Zidane.

Zidane: That's when I storm the castle and capture the beautiful princess Garnet.

Baka: (pulls out adorable Garnet doll) Yes, that's when you capture the gorgeous princess of Alexandria.

Zidane: Where did you get that?

Baka: I made it myself. What do you think? Doesn't it look cute?

Cinna: The doll's cute. You aren't.

Baka: Quiet! Now, everyone get ready! This better work or no one's getting paid!

Hurrah!

On the streets of Alexandria…

Vivi: This town looks very big. I should destroy it.

A girl crashes into Vivi who drops a ticket.

Girl: Here's your ticket.

Vivi: (fixes his hat and takes ticket) Thanks.

Girl: Bye.

Vivi: Ticket? Oh yea, don't destroy cities until I enjoyed myself. Now, ticket booth.

At the ticket booth…

Ticket Master: Hello.

Vivi: Yes, may I enter the stage area?

Ticket Master: Ticket?

Vivi: Here you go.

Ticket Master: (…) THIS TICKET IS FAKE! SECURITY!

Vivi: No! No! Not again!

A rat boy comes out and kicks the securities' shins and run off with Vivi.

Vivi: Thank you.

Rat Boy: No problem. Now, you want to go watch the play with me?

Vivi: Ok.

Rat Boy: Than be my servant and bow down to my every whim.

Vivi: Sure.

Rat Boy: Ok, I'm Puck.

Vivi: I'm Vivi. Now how are we suppose to go watch it from out here?

Puck: (pulls out bazooka) Who says we are?

Moogle: Kupo! Don't do that! My brother is in there!

Puck: Kupo? Oh right, family. (puts away bazooka)

Vivi: Who is this?

Puck: This is Kupo.

Kupo: Kupo. Allow me to save for you so that when you die, you can come back to life to die again.

Vivi: Sure.

Kupo: Searching memory card… No memory card found.

Puck: I think that means you have no brain. Oh right. Getting inside the castle. Uh, I'll need this ladder!

Puck takes a ladder, and tosses the carpenter struggling on the ladder.

Carpenter: Hey, I was still using that!

Puck: I'll return it! (leaves with everyone else) Not.

They arrived at a very small cathedral. In the middle was a ladder.

Up the ladder they went, and ran on the rooftops of the houses.

Connecting the houses were very thin branches that allowed them to move atop them.

Vivi: (…) I'm scared of heights.

Puck: Well just look at me, don't look down, and think of clouds.

Vivi: I need to go to the bathroom really bad.

Puck: I didn't mean rain clouds idiot. Now get over here before the branch fall.

Vivi slowly crawls over and makes it safe.

Kupo: Wait for me! Kupo.

The branch breaks while Kupo walks on it and Kupo falls down into the streets.

There is a random assortment of Kupo's and Kweh shortly afterwards.

Puck and Vivi look over from the edge of the house to see what is happening.

Puck: Since when does Alexandria have a Chocobo Marching Parade? Anyways, we should keep going. No point in waiting.

Vivi: Shouldn't we go help him?

Puck: No thanks, too much work. Sigh, and besides, we could always replace, there's like a million moogles out there in the world. Now hurry up, I want to steal people's stuff while they're getting snacks.

To be continued…

Cid: Ugh, time for me to get some sleep. Hey, wait. Where is it? WHERE'S MY GARNET DOLL!?
