The Song of the Chocobo

Notes: I love this one! ^.~ This is one of the ones Morrigan suggested to me in the last review.



Sephiroth: Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! Cloud Strife presents, in a sequential image, stereophonic, multimedia event, the "Song of the Chocobo!"

[Scene shows Cloud with a slide projector, with Yuffie, Cid and Reeve sitting on chairs in front of it.]

Cloud: Chocobo! This is a song about a boy ... a song about a little boy and his Chocobos ... a song about a little boy and his three Chocobos ... the little boy who had a sick Chocobo, a sad Chocobo and a mute Chocobo. And also a hippo.

[Clicks slides while talking]

Um ... um ... this is a picture of me at the airport. This is my Aunt Ruth. This is me at a bullfight. This is me fighting the bull.

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Ohh!

Cloud: This is me and the bull.

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Ahh!

Cloud: This is me and the bull and ... I think that's the bull's cousin. He's a Chocobo!

[Vincent runs in]

Vincent: Hold it! You call this a multimedia event? This is a slide projector and a bed sheet! And

what on Earth is a Chocobo, anyway?

Cloud: It's kind of like an ostrich. See?

Vincent: Yes. Well, very good. This could be interesting. Carry on!

[He leaves]

Cloud: Chocobo! Sing it with me! Chocobo!

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Chocobo!

[Cloud clicks slides while singing]

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Achoo wark wark, achoo wark wark, achoo wark wark, achoo wark wark wark wark

[Clicks slide.]

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Hippo chewing on bamboo

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm, mmm-hmm mmm mmm,

mmm-hmm mmm mmm mmm mmm

[Next slide is blank]

Cloud: Uh-oh.

[Vincent comes back in]

Vincent: Wait! What happens next?

Cloud: Um ...

Vincent: Does the hippo see them? Is the poor mute Chocobo successful in communicating the

imminent danger to the other passengers? Is the boy injured? Why is the sad Chocobo sad? Is the canoe wood or aluminum?

[Clicks to next slide.]

Cloud: Oh, look! There's me and Tifa at Sea World!

[Next]

Oh, wow. Forgot about that one (a/n: SephxCloud?!).

[Next]

There's me and that bull again.

Vincent: You can't just start a song and leave it hanging like that! You know, I've come to expect a

lot more from you. This is quite disappointing! I'm going to have to speak to Tifa about this.

Cloud: Oh look, a Chocobo! Chocobo!

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: Chocobo!

Cloud: No, wait ... that's a water buffalo.

[Scene changes to Yuffie, Cid and Reeve leaving, dancing away.]

Yuffie/ Cid/ Reeve: No more song about Chocobo! Need another verse or two! Audience is

standing and leaving, bye-bye wark wark, bye-bye wark wark, bye-bye wark wark, bye-bye wark wark wark wark

Cid: I want my money back!

Reeve: Yeah, that'd be ... that'd be good.
