This chapter follows Chelsea as she meets a man named Cid.
Chapter 37
The Gummi Ship Engineer
"Yes Gummi Blocks. Don't tell me you have never heard of Gummi Blocks," the man said in disbelief.
"No, I haven't," Chelsea answered the man.
"Where have you been living, cold storage?" the man wanted to know.
"No, I'm new here, my name is Chelsea," she said.
"Oh well then, I guess its okay," the man said walking over to the counter.
"All right that's good. What does a Gummi Block look like?" Chelsea asked the man.
"Here, Chelsea, this is a Gummi Block," the moogle said floating over with an orange square block in its hand. "There you go Cid."
"That is so cool!" Chelsea exclaimed.
"Yeah they are great. They mold together seamlessly," Cid said.
"How come you need them?" Chelsea asked.
"I'm the Gummi Ship Engineer," Cid said proudly.
"A Gummi Ship?" Chelsea asked.
"A ship you can use to fly to different worlds, made completely out of Gummi Blocks," Cid explained.
"Wow!" Chelsea shouted.
Cid took the Gummi Block from the moogle and said, "I'm gonna need about two hundred more."
"I'll get them right away," the moogle replied. He glided away to get the rest of the blocks.
Chelsea walked out from behind the counter and began admiring the keychains. They ranged in size from the size of your palm to the size of your thumbnail.
"So…where are you from?" Cid asked, leaning against the counter.
"I'm from California," Chelsea answered admiring a keychain that supposedly made you faster.
"Never heard of it," Cid said.
"Okay, here are your Gummi Blocks," the moogle said. It was carrying a basket with tons of little orange blocks in it.
"Thanks. Chelsea, here is my card, look me up if you ever want to build your own ship," Cid said to her holding out a card.
She took it and quickly read it over. According to the card, Cid's shop was located in the First District next to the café.
Cid left and Chelsea took up her place behind the counter. "So…how much do I get paid?" Chelsea asked the moogle.
"We pay very well. You get five hundred munny a day," the moogle answered.
"Wow, how long do I work, and how many days a week?" Chelsea asked.
"Three hours a day and twice a week," the moogle answered.
"Wow again. So my day is almost up," Chelsea acknowledged.
"Here is your munny for the day," the moogle said handing Chelsea a piece of yellow and blue paper.
"Thanks," Chelsea said. She wanted to head back to Yuffie's, but one keychain caught Chelsea's attention. It was blue and yellow all over the star shape. "What does this do?"
"Oh that is a keychain that turns into a Keyblade. Only one of the true Keyblade wielders can use it," the moogle explained.
"What is it called?" Chelsea wanted to know.
"It's the Promisekeeper," the moogle said.
Chelsea wanted it. The price tag read only three hundred munny. Chelsea picked it up and took it over to the moogle. She handed it back the bill to pay for the Promisekeeper. In return, she received two hundred munny bills.
Chelsea walked out the door. As soon as she was out, she concentrated on the Promisekeeper. In her left hand, a long blue Keyblade with a yellow and purple star on the top appeared. She knew that this Keyblade was all right to use. Since she bought it at the Accessory Shop, it must be okay.
"Wow!" Chelsea exclaimed.
She began walking back toward the Second District. She passed the shop where Cid worked.
"Hey, come here," he said noticing Chelsea walking by. She walked over to where Cid was standing.
"What's up? Are the Gummi Blocks not what you wanted?" Chelsea asked.
"No, no they are fine," Cid assured her.
"Then what is it?" she asked.
"Do you want to see new worlds?" he asked.
"Sure," she replied.
"Then, how would you like to build your own Gummi Ship?" he asked.
"I can't pay for it. I only have two hundred munny," she said.
"It will be free of charge," he told her.
"Thank you, I will," she told him.
"See ya tomorrow, we will begin then," he said.
