Final Fantasy Eds
Chapter 11
"Wooooo, what a pretty place. Where I'm I anyway? This looks like the planet from the movie, "It Came For Nowhere and Made Everything All Shiny." Hey, who's that? Hey! Hello? Why are you kneeling? Whats that light? Wow, did you do that?..........Your kind of pretty. ...........Cool, you have green eyes! Huh? Who's that? .................WATCH OUT!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!"
~ Ed shot his eyes open and sat up from the small futon (japanese floor bed). Sweat was dripping from his flat head. He breathed deep and looked up at the still night sky. He, Amber and the other two Eds all went to bed about four hours ago. He turned his head and looked at Eddy sleeping on a another futon. Double-D was on the other side of the big Ed, also on a futon. And ahead of him, about five feet away, was Amber, all of them sleeping soundfully.
Ed lowered his head and stared at the ground. Then he looked over to the green glowing lake about 20 feet away. In the night time, the water from the strange lake gave off a very relaxing glow, a glow that helped all the towns people get to sleep. Ed coaked his head to the side. He stood up, and quietly, making sure not to wake anyone, walked over closer to the green glow. He plopped himself on the ground, and just stared at it. It was rather mezmering. He then breathed out a big yawn and streched out his arms. He was tired, but he didn't really want to go back to sleep. He thought the "glowing pool" was just too cool to stop looking at.
Suddenly, he heard someone slowly moving around on one of the futons. He turned around to see Amber sit up and rubbed her eyes. She looked at Ed and whipsered, "Ed, what are you doing up? We need to get a good rest for tomorrow."
Ed, with blood shot eyes, let out another big yawn before answering Amber. "I can't sleep. I had a REALLY freaky dream that scared the.......the, uh.........."
"Heck?" Amber asked.
"Yeah! That scared the HECK out of me." Ed said with a little dopy grin.
Amber stood up and walked over to the boy and sat next to him. "You know..." She started. "...When I have a nightmare, I like to tell someone about it, then it don't feel so scary."
"You what to hear about my freaky dream?" Ed asked.
"If it'll make you feel any better." Amber answered.
Ed looked at the greem water again, and then at Amber. "It was soooo weird." He began. "I was in a BIIIG shiny place, with alot of pretty shiny things, and on one of the shiny things, I saw a girl."
"Oh, a DREAM girl." Amber said in a cute little kidding tone.
"Uh, no, I don't think so." Ed said not quite getting it. "I've NEVER seen her before in him life."
"Really. What did she looked like?" Amber asked resting her arms on her knees.
"She was really pretty." Ed said with a little smile. "She had long brown hair with a big pink bow, and she had a pink dress with a red vest thing. And, um.....oh yeah, she had GREEN eyes, like the pretty glowing green pool!"
At hearing this, Amber's eyes widened and she dropped her arms to the ground. "Then want happened Ed?" She asked in a now serious tone.
Ed's face went all scared like. "Then, then someone else came along. A scary looking guy with long white hair, and all dressed in black. He came out of nowhere, and......and....."
Amber sweetly put her finger on Eds lips. "You don't need to said it Ed." She said. "I know want happened."
"You do?" Ed said surprisingly.
Amber looked out at the green lake and shapened her eyes. "So, I was right." She sort of muddered.
"Right about what?" Ed asked scraching his head.
Amber looked at him. "I'll try to explain. It's a little far'feched, but, a while ago, way before you and the other two came here, I was having some strange, sometimes scary dreams and memories that weren't even my own! And then one day, it hit me, I was having thoughts and memories that only the character Tifa Lockheart had in the game! I guess just looking like the character isn't enough. You also sometimes see and remember the things that the character you play did before you got here. And that dream Ed, was one of Cloud's most scareiest memorys."
"I see things that only Cloud sees?" Ed asked, actually getting it!
"Right." Amber said nodding her head. "And that means that sooner or later, Double-D and Eddy are going to exprense that too, with Vincent and Cid's memories."
Ed put his finger on his chin and thought for a moment. "Then, who was that pretty girl?"
Amber dropped her head. "That was Aries, Ed." Shes said sadly. Ed's head shot up at her with a shocked looked. "The dream was a memory of Cloud witnessing Aries' last moments alive, just before her death. That other guy in your dream was Sepinroth."
The big Ed was much taken back by this unexpected revelation. To see something in a dream, and then knowing that it really happened that way, it was more scary then weird. And to witness the death of someone that you only heard about, that too was just too freaky to think about.
He gazed over to Amber again, this time, with some tears in his eyes. Amber didn't see that coming. "Ed, whats the matter?" She asked sincerely.
Ed wipped his tears on his arm. "That poor pretty girl. She looked really nice and kind."
Amber gazed at him, almost feeling like she was going to cry. "Ed." She too started to have tears in her eyes.
Then for the rest of the night, the two sat there, staring at the Lifestream, and quietly cried for that young girl that nether of them met, but they knew she was worth crying for.
~ The next morning, the sun beamed on the other two sleeping Eds. Eddy turned over to face away from the light, and put the pillow over his head. Double-D sat up, and yawned long and loud. He looked around, but didn't see Amber or Ed anywhere. He then looked at Eddy, already fast asleep again. Double-D reached over and shook him on the shoulder. "Eddy. It's time to wake up. Come on." Eddy just grunted and pulled the covers over his face. "Eddy!" Double-D said loudly. He grabbed the covers and wipped them off his friend. Eddy moved alittle bit before finally opening his eyes, which he closed again because of the bright morning sun.
"Really Eddy, how can you be so lazy?" Double-D said. "We have to get up, and get ready for what Amber has planned today."
Eddy sat up, blocking the sun's rays from his face, and mudduered to Double-D, "Your not my mother."
Double-D looked at him with a stern look. "No, I'm not, but you're going to have to get up sooner or later." He then started to head for the bridge.
Eddy scowled back at him. "Then I choose....later." He flopped himself back on the futon, and fell back to sleep.
The brainy Ed made his way across the bridge. He suddenly spoted Amber and Ed talking to the docter and nurse from yesterday. He walked up to them.
"Thank you very much for letting us stay overnight." Amber said to the docter.
"I was our pleasure." The docter. "But before to head out, would you like to have some breakfast first?"
"My stomach says "YES"! Ed said rubbing his belly.
"Yeah, we would like that." Amber answered. She then noticed Double-D standing next to her. "Oh, good morning "Vincent".
"Yeah, good morning, um..what do you have planned today for us, uh "Tifa"?" Double-D asked.
"Well, as soon as "Cid" get's up, I'll tell you all over breakfast. Is he up yet?" She asked.
"I tried to get him up, but he refuses to do so." "Vincent" said.
"I'LL GET HIM!" Ed said. He ran as fast as he could all the way up to where Eddy was still sleeping.
"WAKEY WAKEY EDDY!" Ed shouted right in Eddy's ear. He shot up and rubbed his aching ear. At the sight of his dumb friend, he fell down on his bed again. "Come on lazy bones!" Ed reached down and "picked" Eddy up right off the futon.
"ED! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!? PUT ME DOWN!!"
"It time to enter the land of the living!" Ed said and started running to the others.
"PUT ME DOWN!!!! ED!!!!!"
~ Later, the gang was all at a small table in one of the broken down houses, waiting to be served breakfast.
"How would you all like your eggs?" The nurse called out from another room.
"Cooked all the way with alittle garlic please." Amber said.
"Sunny side up please, thank you." Double-D said.
"Same thing with alot of salt and pepper." Eddy said with a yawn.
"With extra chocolate sause, and a side of buttered toast please!" Ed said with a grin.
"...Okay." The nurse said, alittle confused at Ed's order.
Amber then cleared her throat, and the Eds all were ready to listen.
"The first thing we're going to do today...." She began. "...is get back on the chocobos, and head back to the chocobo farm. From there, we'll take another ride to a place where I think you guys will get some good training for the up coming battle with Sepinroth, with both magic and your new weapons."
"Wait a minute." Eddy said. "Lumpy knows how to do magic, but me and sockhead having even done it yet!"
"Not the mention that we don't quite know how to properly use thoses weapons you got us." Double-D said.
"I wouldn't worry about that." Amber said.
"UH?" Eddy and Double-D said.
"You guys don't really need to be taught on how to use your weapons, because the next time we're in a battle, you'll just "know" how to do it. It's like a second nature thing in the game. At first, I had no idea on how I was just going to protect myself with only my fighting gloves. But after just my first run-in battle, it was like I was doing something I was doing for my whole life! You instantly get used to it."
"Really?" Eddy asked.
I'm still alittle nervose about my weapon." Double-D said.
"Whimp." Eddy said uder his breath.
"I GET TO USE A SWORD!!!" Ed just suddenly shouted out.
"And about the magic thing.." Amber said. "...I think we can handled that when we get to that place I was talking about."
"And wants that?" Double-D asked.
"It's called Gold Sauser." Amber answered. "It's a HUGE place where you can play games, go on rides, and even race chocobos. But most of all, you can practie your fighting skills in their battling area."
"Thats sounds cool!" Ed said, the chocobo thing he means.
"Where's our food!?" Eddy shouted.
"EDDY!" Double-D said.
~ After breakfast, the gang thanked the nurse, and walked out to the enternce of the town. They were all ready to get going, but then, they almost forgot something.
"Hey wait a sec! You guys better go grab our weapons!" Amber said.
The Eds all looked at each other, and then headed over to where they slept last night. Next the futons were their weapons. Ed picked up his sword, and Double-D shakely picked up his gun. Eddy, on the other hand, was still looking for his. He suddenly then spoted it, half covered by one of the blankets. He went to go pick it up, but just then, he noticed something moving under the same blanket. He backed off, and then slowly when for his spear. Suddenly, the thing that was under the blanket jump out from the cover, and bit Eddy's hand. He pulled back his hand and sucked on the bit mark. He looked down to see the problem, a small white chocobo, no bigger then a normal chicken.
"What the.....!" He said backing away again. The little bird looked like it was PROTECTING Eddy's weapon from him! It gave out a low growl.
"Hey you stuipd bird! Thats mine!" He said pointing his finger that it. The chocobo just scwaked back at him.
"Eddy, what's going on?" Double-D called out. He and Ed came walking up behind Eddy, and then noticed the small chocobo.
"AWWWWWW, CUTE!" Ed said.
"Where did he come from?" Double -D asked.
"How should I know! It was hiding under the blanket, and when I went for my spear, it bit me!" Eddy said. "I should ring it's scrony little white neck!"
"Don't you dare Eddy! What if it belongs to someone?" Double said.
"I DOES belong to someone." A voice from behind said. The boys all turned too see a young dark brown hair lady with a light red outfit on. "Cho-cho, you bad little chocobo. You shouldn't bite people!" The white chocobo lowered it's head in shame and trotted to it's owner. She kneeled down and picked it up. "I'm sorry about that, but you see, Cho-cho here might have thought that you were trying to steal one of the weapons I sell, but I already know that young lady friend of yours as already payed for it."
"Oh, you must be the weapon keeper we heard about the other day!" Double-D said.
"Yes, that right, Cho-cho and I just came back from a little business trip." She said with a smile.
"Well, let me give you some advice, lady!" Eddy said. "Next time, put that thing on a lesh!"
"E.., I mean "CID"!" Double-D shouted.
"Hey! Whats taking you guys so long!?" Amber said, coming across the bridge. "We gotta get going here!"
"Eddy got attacked by a cho-cho chicken." Ed said.
"What?" Amber said.
"THAT THING!" Eddy shouted pointing to the chocobo in the weapon keeper's arms.
"I'm sure it didn't mean it." Amber said. Suddenly, the white chocobo jumped on of it's owner's arms, and hopped towards Eddy, and started rubbing it's head on his leg. Eddy jumped back, but it now wouldn't leave him alone! It just kept snuggling up to him.
"What do you what!?" Eddy asked.
Amber, the other Eds, and the chocobo's owner started to laugh at this. "Cho-cho just whats to let you know that he's sorry." The owner explained.
"Yeah, whatever, now just get it away from me!" Eddy shouted.
"Theres only one way to make him stop." The owner said. She reached into her pocket, and took out some kind of plant. She then handed it to Eddy. "Here."
"What it is?" Eddy asked.
"Their Cho-cho's favorite food. They Mimett greens." She explained.
Eddy took the plant from her, and slowly presented it to Cho-cho. The little chocobo gave it a quick sniff before snaching it out of Eddy's hand, and munching down. It then started to jump and flap it's wings happily.
"Alright, that's done with. Now let's go." Eddy said with a scowl. But just then, Cho-cho gave out a little snort. Eddy looked back at it with an evil eye. "I gave you food! Now what!?"
"He wants you to scrach him on the head." The owner said.
"What?" Eddy said with raising a eyebrow.
"Scrach his head. Some chocobos like that." Amber said.
Eddy growled, kneeled down, and just bearly scarched the side of the chocobo's head. It was more of a light tickle then a scarch. "This is stinking blackmail." Eddy said under his breath.
When Eddy was done, he stood back up and turned towards the bridge. But before he got there, the strangest thing happened. The chocobo began to scwake and make alot of noise. It flapped it's wings so hard, it looked like it was trying to take off. And then, right above it, a green glow flashed forth, taking anyone, inclueding Eddy, by surprise! The glow slowly then shaped into a small sphere, and hovered toward's a very freaked out Eddy. The glow then suddenly faded away, and right there, hovering in front of Eddy, was what looked like green materia!
"Oh my! How did my Cho-cho do that?" The owner said.
Amber walked over to Eddy, still staring at the flowing orb. ""Cid", I think this materia is for you." She said.
"For me?" He said still a little shocked. He then slowly reached out for it, and it suddenly fell into his hands. He looked at with a bit of wonder. It was still gaving of a slight glow from the core.
"Congratulation!" Amber said slapping Eddy on the back.
"What did Eddy do to make the chocobo react like that?" Double-D asked.
"He made it really happy." Amber answered with a smile. "Eddy not only gave it greens, but he also must of scrached it in just the right spot on it's little head!"
"But where did THIS come from?" Eddy asked holding up the new materia.
"The chocobo was so grateful about you forgiving it..." Amber said. "...It was actuary able to magicly preduce some materia for you as a gift!"
"I have to say, your one lucky young man." The owner said with a smile. "A gift from the chocobos is a sign of good luck in your future."
"No fooling?" Eddy said.
"Hey "Cid"! What kind of magic is it?" Ed asked excitingly.
Eddy looked at the orb and remember what Amber said about sencing the magic within it. He closes both his eyes,and cleared up his thoughts as best as he could. Not even five seconds went by before the materia glowed and Eddy got the answer. "Contain?"
"Contain materia?" Amber said. "Alright! Thats a REALLY hard to find magic! This is great!"
"But "Tifa", "Cid" has not performed a magic spell yet." Double-D said.
"He'll do it sooner or later, and you will too." Amber said. "But right now, we really gotta get going."
"Hey, uh.."Tifa", want do I do with this materia?" Eddy asked.
"Why don't you put it in one of the slot of your weapon?" Amber said. She and the other Eds and also the weapon keeper then all headed to the bridge. "We'll wait for you at the enterance."
Eddy has almost forgot about his weapon. He walked over to it and pick it up. There was six slots on it. He put the new Contain materia in the first slot. It made a sort of charm sound as it went in. He then held his weapon up and looked at. It looked kind of cool with a green gem in it now. Then, just for the heck of it, he held it with both hands, and did like a fighting pose with it. A little smirk came across his face. He then ran out towards the enterance, thinking, 'Maybe this won't be such a stuipd weapon after all.'

"I tried to get him up, but he refuses to do so." "Vincent" said.
"I'LL GET HIM!" Ed said. He ran as fast as he could all the way up to where Eddy was still sleeping.
"WAKEY WAKEY EDDY!" Ed shouted right in Eddy's ear. He shot up and rubbed his aching ear. At the sight of his dumb friend, he fell down on his bed again. "Come on lazy bones!" Ed reached down and "picked" Eddy up right off the futon.
"ED! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!? PUT ME DOWN!!"
"It time to enter the land of the living!" Ed said and started running to the others.
"PUT ME DOWN!!!! ED!!!!!"
~ Later, the gang was all at a small table in one of the broken down houses, waiting to be served breakfast.

"AWWWWWW, CUTE!" Ed said.

"Eddy got attacked by a cho-cho chicken." Ed said.
"What?" Amber said.
"THAT THING!" Eddy shouted pointing to the chocobo in the weapon keeper's arms.
"I'm sure it didn't mean it." Amber said. Suddenly, the white chocobo jumped on of it's owner's arms, and hopped towards Eddy, and started rubbing it's head on his leg. Eddy jumped back, but it now wouldn't leave him alone! It just kept snuggling up to him.
"What do you what!?" Eddy asked.
Amber, the other Eds, and the chocobo's owner started to laugh at this. "Cho-cho just whats to let you know that he's sorry." The owner explained.
"Yeah, whatever, now just get it away from me!" Eddy shouted.
"Theres only one way to make him stop." The owner said. She reached into her pocket, and took out some kind of plant. She then handed it to Eddy. "Here."
"What it is?" Eddy asked.
"Their Cho-cho's favorite food. They Mimett greens." She explained.
Eddy took the plant from her, and slowly presented it to Cho-cho. The little chocobo gave it a quick sniff before snaching it out of Eddy's hand, and munching down. It then started to jump and flap it's wings happily.
"Alright, that's done with. Now let's go." Eddy said with a scowl. But just then, Cho-cho gave out a little snort. Eddy looked back at it with an evil eye. "I gave you food! Now what!?"
"He wants you to scrach him on the head." The owner said.
"What?" Eddy said with raising a eyebrow.
"Scrach his head. Some chocobos like that." Amber said.
Eddy growled, kneeled down, and just bearly scarched the side of the chocobo's head. It was more of a light tickle then a scarch. "This is stinking blackmail." Eddy said under his breath.
When Eddy was done, he stood back up and turned towards the bridge. But before he got there, the strangest thing happened. The chocobo began to scwake and make alot of noise. It flapped it's wings so hard, it looked like it was trying to take off. And then, right above it, a green glow flashed forth, taking anyone, inclueding Eddy, by surprise! The glow slowly then shaped into a small sphere, and hovered toward's a very freaked out Eddy. The glow then suddenly faded away, and right there, hovering in front of Eddy, was what looked like green materia!
"Oh my! How did my Cho-cho do that?" The owner said.
Amber walked over to Eddy, still staring at the flowing orb. ""Cid", I think this materia is for you." She said.
"For me?" He said still a little shocked. He then slowly reached out for it, and it suddenly fell into his hands. He looked at with a bit of wonder. It was still gaving of a slight glow from the core.
"Congratulation!" Amber said slapping Eddy on the back.
"What did Eddy do to make the chocobo react like that?" Double-D asked.
"He made it really happy." Amber answered with a smile. "Eddy not only gave it greens, but he also must of scrached it in just the right spot on it's little head!"
"But where did THIS come from?" Eddy asked holding up the new materia.
"The chocobo was so grateful about you forgiving it..." Amber said. "...It was actuary able to magicly preduce some materia for you as a gift!"
"I have to say, your one lucky young man." The owner said with a smile. "A gift from the chocobos is a sign of good luck in your future."
"No fooling?" Eddy said.
"Hey "Cid"! What kind of magic is it?" Ed asked excitingly.
Eddy looked at the orb and remember what Amber said about sencing the magic within it. He closes both his eyes,and cleared up his thoughts as best as he could. Not even five seconds went by before the materia glowed and Eddy got the answer. "Contain?"
"Contain materia?" Amber said. "Alright! Thats a REALLY hard to find magic! This is great!"
"But "Tifa", "Cid" has not performed a magic spell yet." Double-D said.
"He'll do it sooner or later, and you will too." Amber said. "But right now, we really gotta get going."
"Hey, uh.."Tifa", want do I do with this materia?" Eddy asked.
"Why don't you put it in one of the slot of your weapon?" Amber said. She and the other Eds and also the weapon keeper then all headed to the bridge. "We'll wait for you at the enterance."
Eddy has almost forgot about his weapon. He walked over to it and pick it up. There was six slots on it. He put the new Contain materia in the first slot. It made a sort of charm sound as it went in. He then held his weapon up and looked at. It looked kind of cool with a green gem in it now. Then, just for the heck of it, he held it with both hands, and did like a fighting pose with it. A little smirk came across his face. He then ran out towards the enterance, thinking, 'Maybe this won't be such a stuipd weapon after all.'
