Chapter 18

When Lea heard Zyme growl, she asked, "What's wrong, Zyme? Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Lea. It's just that Blake's been following us in monkey form. Yes, the monkey IS Blake." Zyme said.

"I can't believe you figured it out, Zyme." Lazard said.

"I can. He just knew it was Blake. Right, Zyme?" Sephiroth asked.

Then Angeal said, "How can someone know that? It's hard to tell."

"Well, Angeal, they are animals. You'd think they'd know another animal."

"Cloud's right, 'Geal. We need to listen to Zyme and Lea. They're the experts here, not us."

"The puppy has a good point. What do the rest of you say? Listen to Zyme and Lea, or listen to someone else?" (Genesis.)

"Zyme and Lea. They're my friends." (Kunsel.)

"Zyme and Lea. They seem to know this kind of stuff more than us." (Rude.)

"Zyme and Lea, yo. No one else could beat them, yo." (Reno.)

"I believe in Zyme and Lea." (Archel.)

"Same here. Zyme and Lea." (Cissnei.)

"Zyme and Lea. I think everyone's spoken, Angeal. We even know that Sephiroth, Lazard, and Genesis trust both Zyme and Lea a lot." (Tseng.)

"Okay, fine. Zyme and Lea it is." Angeal said.

"Thank you, friend." Sephiroth said, smiling a true smile.

"Okay, Zyme and Lea. Lead the way." Genesis told Zyme and Lea.

Zyme said, "Okay. Just let Blake follow us. Shinra can't beat us or catch us and he knows it."

"Yeah, so let's go." Lea stated.

As the group of travelers moved on, Zack asked, "Where are we going this time? Last time we went to Banora."

"Where do you want to go, Zyme?" Lea asked.

Then Zyme said, "How about Gongoga?" He turned around and saw everyone nod. "Okay. Let's go. Reno, can we all fit into one helicopter?"

"There's Mr. Shinra's helicopter, yo. We could steal it. How about that?" Reno asked. When Zyme nodded, Reno started running towards Mr. Shinra's helicopter and everyone followed him.

"Reno, get in the pilot's seat. I'll get next to you." Rude said. Reno nodded and started the helicopter.

"Boys. Be careful." (Tseng.)

"We know, boss man." Reno said. As everyone loaded themselves and their belongings into the helicopter, Reno warmed it up for them.

"Don't you DARE come near me on the helicopter as a monkey, Blake. I don't like monkeys." Cissnei said.

'Fine. I don't like girls who squeak when they see monkeys.' Blake thought. Zyme then relayed what Blake thought when he saw Cissnei's curious face.

"That's really mean, Blake. Say you're sorry." Archel demanded. Blake did and Zyme relayed what he said to Cissnei, again. Then, Zyme saw Blake roll his eyes and he slapped him upside the head.

Blake then thought into Zyme's head, 'What was that for, man? I didn't do anything but say sorry!'

'I saw you roll your eyes at Cissnei's acceptance of your apology. That was uncalled for Right, Lea?' Zyme thought to both Blake and Lea.

'Yep. Now, Blake. Come here so we can keep our eyes on you. It's only fair that way.' Lea thought. Zyme nodded his head at this. Then, when Zyme glared at him, Blake nodded, too. Not much could be said after that. As Blake went to sleep, Zyme and Lea just watched him so he wouldn't go anywhere. All the others soon fell asleep. Rude turned around and saw that everyone was asleep except Zyme and Lea.

"You guys can go to sleep, too. It's fine." Rude said.

"We're watching Blake, so we kind of can't go to sleep. If it makes you feel better, one of us could watch him and the other could go to sleep." Zyme inquired.

"I actually like that idea better. Why don't you do that?" Rude asked.

Then Lea said, "Okay. I'll go to sleep first. I'm pretty tired. Is that fine with you, Zyme?" When Zyme nodded, Lea fell asleep. As all was quiet again, Zyme went back to watching Blake.
