~Meanwhile back in Zefera town~
~Nikko's P.O.V~
How awesome! I can't believe Sorey was able to pull off something like this!? "Sorey , I'm so glad you apart of the team!" I yelled with excitement! "We're all glad you joined the team." Serah interrupted with a smile on her face. "Hmm , that's an awful lot of sucking up!" I said, only to be suddenly hit on the head by Serah's stick. "...Lame...The kid could've stayed where he was!" Cyade mumbled quickly turning his back to us. "Ohh ,It's cool Cyade, I guess you'll be the only one of us that doesn't get any new gear!" Sorey laughed covering part of his mouth.
"Hey! I didn't mean it like that!" Cyade yelled in shocked. "Ha! Sure you didn't!" I mocked. "Shut it , Nikko!" He yelled , pouting at our laughs. "Ok guys , enough fun time. You all have your jobs to do , so go and get them done. The sooner you do, the sooner we can leave." Serah said quickly claiming herself , and gathering our attention. Then Cyade interrupted "Yeahhh , about that… What was our jobs again?" Cyade embarrassingly asked , scratching the back of his head. (I swear, he's worse than me sometimes.) Before answering Serah facepalmed ,and let out a let out a large sigh. "Ok , Cyade, you're in charge of gathering food , Nikko , you're gonna gather the supplies… No hold on... actually I want Cyade to go get the camping tools ,along with our traveling bags. Nikko , you get the food , stock up on berries specify cooking ones , and lastly Sorey will map out the route we're gonna take. Got it." "Got it!" We all responded ,splitting up and leaving sorey so that he could map in peace.
(Alright , I gotta' buy some berries so for the trip soo…) "I think I'll go to that new berry store in town , I've been meaning to go there. Alright , off I go." I said running off to the into Zefera town. When I got to the shop I didn't expect it to be so...big! (Why do I have this sudden feeling that something weird is going to happen?) As I entered, I was shocked a bit to find the place was almost entirely made of wood! Jeez , what is it with this town and wood? As I entered I was greeted by a female Gothorita who's giving off this weird... what's it called? nervous? Aura. "Umm , h-hello welcome to "BerryMart" h-how may I pleasure-I-I mean serve you!" She nervously said with trembling lips.
Suddenly I could feel my pads become sweaty. I honestly tried my best to ignore them , but I was a bit hard to do , so I clenched them and examined the menu, which was resting on the wooden counter in front of me. (I wonder what these letters next to the berry mean? I'm sure it's nothing.) "Umm, can I have three Pinap Berries-" shooting a quick look at The Gothorita I not-noticed h-her lean over the counter in a s-seductive way! "Mmh , three Pinap berries, you're a tough one…" she w-whispered slowly picking up a-a pen and l-licking the tip slowly! Suddenly , I could feel my heart rate pick up! I slowly took one step away from the counter.
(N-no! I can't back away now I have to do this for the team!) I slowly took that step forward and prepared myself for the next order by slamming a single paw on the counter. "I also want three Wepear berries!" I demanded! The Gothorita moaned softly and gently crossed her legs , running them together , all while leaning over the counter. (Oh crap, I think I made it worse!) "No! I must go on!" I yelled, watching as the began to blush! My paws became so sweaty that it was almost impossible for me a make a stable fist. (Alright, just a few more and I'll be out of here.) "And I need three Nanab berries." I quickly said to her. The lady softly bit her finger ,lowered her eyelids , and smiled softly at me saying "Mmhh , feed me...more!" All fainted.
After that I was able to her breathing! It was soft and steady , it was like at any moment she would explode with a moan! (I-I can't take much more!) Suddenly a blush formed! Slowly, I backed away from the counter and fell to my knees , holding my mouth. (T-this lady! s-she can't be seriously!?) "What's wrong , Big boy? Aren't you going to finish you're order , or is that all?" She lustfully said , rubbing the pen tip on her lips! "Gwah! O-of course , I'm almost d-done." I panicked slowly standing to my paw and walking back in front of the counter to face her. (Phew , I guess it's good thing I'm gay , otherwise I would have never been able to pull this off without an erection.)
"Alright lady , I'm not gonna' fall victim to anymore of you games!" "~Moans Softly~ alright then , what else will you have? Cutie." S-she said slowly leaning into l-lick my nozzle! In a sudden reaction I jumped away from the counter and fell to butt , watching as the lady gave the pen's tip a slobbery licking! (W-w-w-w-w-WHAT!) My head suddenly started to spin, and my eyes couldn't stay dead on for nothing, the only thing I really was a cold, nervous sensation overcame me! (F-for t-the team!) I slowly stood forcing myself to overcome this feeling! With ran back to the counter and slammed my paws on it , stirring deep into the Gothrotia's lustful eyes.
"What a guy!" She whispered. "I need three Bluk berries!" "Ahhh, just do me already!" As much I wanted to turn and run away from the counter , I wiped my sweat away and stood strong. "And finally I'll have three Razz berries to go!" I said calmly exhaling. "Yessssss! Let me just check over your order. You wanted : Three Pinap berries , Three wepear berries , Three Nanab berries , Three Bluk berries , and Three Razz berries. Right honey!" She said winking. "Yeah , that's right." I smiled. "Okay , we'll bring your order right to you, please wait over at that table." She said point at a table by the window. (Phew, I survived…)
~A few minutes later~
As I was staring out the window a waiter approached me with the case of berries saying "Have a nice day." I stood , thanked the waiter , and took the case back to where Sorey was mapping. I really only chose there because it seems like the right place to go before we left. (I hope Cyade was careful with my bag.)
~Meanwhile in the kitchen , Serah appears to be chatting with Jinx's teammate Jade~
~Serah's P.O.V~
"Anyway , Why did you come here?" She said looking at me suspiciously. (Please don't let her pride get in the way of this.) "I came to get a simple berry stew recipe from you." I nervously smiled. "Why! Are you trying to become a better chief than me!?" She raised her voice pouting. (Yeah , this is definitely going the wrong way) staring to get a bit worried that it would intensify , scratched my head lightly. "N-no it's nothing like that, you see I just wanted a recipe ,because I-me and my team going on an out of town mission." Her attitude quickly changed. "Oh , why didn't you just say so , specialness! I get to working on it now...oh but first I have to run home and grab my journal , so I can do it." She said sounding a bit too cheerful. "Oh ok, if you don't mind , can I come?" I asked , watching as she decided.
"Hmm...I don't care , if you happen to see my big brother Rinn , just ignore him." She said smiling. "Alright , I will." I responded following her out the kitchen to her house. While on the way there , we had an interesting about my sister and Ryu. I honestly never thought she liked Ryu THAT much! "Alright , here we are!" She said suddenly stopping in front of a two story house , right at the edge of the beach. (It's huge!) "Do you and Rinn really need to share a house this big?" I asked , walking inside with her. "With Rinn , nothing is too big...literally." She responded , leading me to the kitchen table. "You sit there." She said pointing at an open seat, while walking over to a nearby drawer and pulling at a notepad and pen.
I'll take it from here. "So knowing Nikko , he probably bought berries with a specific flavor." I said , playfully swinging my legs in the chair. "Specific flavor...huh, that would mean that he brought the following berries : Razz ,Bluk , Nanab, Wepear , and Pinap. If that's the case he did get spices , but…" She said , leaning on the counter with her claw resting on her chin. (Huh , what spices?) "Jade , what do you mean by the spices?" I confusingly asked. "It just means they're used to make something taste better." She then walked over to her refrigerator and grabbed a few berries.
"Can you name these?" She asked playfully. I raised my nose and prepared my snobbish accent. "Ha! you obviously have : Lansat , Custap , Jaboca , and Pecha berries." (I know, I'm awesome!) "Impressive , Serah! Keep this up and I may take you up as my apprentice." She giggled , gently placing the four berries on the table. "Ok , so these are what I like to call foundation berries. They can be used in battle and in recipes to for many different things. In your case , we're going to use them to make the base of stew! These berries pack a special chemical that stops other berries from sticking to each other when cooking.
I quickly focused all my attention on her words and actions as prepared the meal. as she did I grabbed the notepad and began writing down all that I could. (I swear , I'll make a berry stew so good that they'll beg me for more!
~Later that day~
I carefully watched as the bubbles in the soup grew more violently , knowing I don't have much more time before it begins to burn , I used Jade's favorite wooden spoon to the stir the berry stew! The aroma coming from the pot smelled delicious! It took a lot of restraint myself to stay focused. As I continued to stir, I noticed that it the stew became slightly harder to stir. "Jade , I think it's done." I quickly said , waving her over. "Alright ,let me see…" she quickly turn the fire on low and , and brought the spoon full of hot stew to her mouth.
"Mmm…" I heart began to beat faster! (Come on! Say it's good , please!) "Well…" she slowly opened her eyes and looked at the pot then at me. "The stew was a bit plain,it's like you didn't even use the berry, next time use more of it , if not all. Besides that the stew was amazing!" She excitedly said hugging me tightly. "Phew,thanks so much Jade!" I excitedly yelled. Once she put me down, I grabbed the notepad and some leftover foundation berries and prepared to leave "Serah , you have the utensils and the skill , now , go make your team proud to have a leader like you." She smiled , walking back to the front door.
"Huh! Why would Jin do something that stupid! Zephyr's been gone for six months! What gives him the slightest thought the he could find him!?" Rinn yelled from upstairs. (I wonder what's going on?) "Jade , is everything ok?" I asked sounding a bit worried. "Everything is fine , Rinn's just being an idiot." She laughed , opening the door to release me. With a quick giggle and nod, I ran off with a bag full of berries , back to that spot we all separated from. When I finally arrived , to my surprise , I found Cyade leaning back on a tree , Nikko laying down on the grass , and Sorey , staring off into the distance.
"I take it everyone's completed their mission?" I asked approaching them. "Of course." Cyade responded. (Good.) "Sorey what time is it?" I asked walking over to him. It only took him a quick glance at it to find out. "It's only 10:49am , if we leave now we should make it to Spencer's place in about a day." He said looking back at me. (Huh, things are actually going smoothly!? I expected so many things to go wrong by now.) Suddenly my self thought was interrupted. "Sooo , are we ready to?" Nikko asked slowly standing to his paws. Before answering I quickly checked over everything, and from the looks of it all , we were all set to go!
I guess it's time for my speech. I quickly clenched my claw and turned towards my team "Alright guys, This will be our first out of town mission! Remember that we are a team , and no matter what , each other's safety comes before your own! Understand!" I yelled. "We'll, I'm ready. Let's get this thing over with." Cyade said , looking away from the group. "I can't wait! I may come back even stronger than my big brother!" Nikko yelled , jumping up in excitement. "I'm pretty sure Lucy will have a delicious meal ready for us when we arrive!" Sorey said , trying to hold in his drool. "Alright then, let's go!
Will Serah and her team make it to Spencer's house safety? What in the world was Rinn talking about? Aerecnepsos' aoylelaroe ahmorfog iaehteo alalolaao!And why did Fenrir make this chapter so sort? Find out next time!
