"Dimensional Whiplash"
By Aleenia Rheese

Chapter Six Part Two - Anger

Chocobos, it seemed, were a means of transportation if - you had the gil.

(Sam soon learned that the small pieces of metal were cash.) Apparently, his new 'friends' had the gil. In fact, they owned six 'gold' chocobos. They sounded impressive, but they looked like shiny, overgrown chickens.

"You ride those?" Sam asked, grimacing. "At home, I can't even stay up on a horse when they trot! Yeeeaahhh!" Sam cried out as a mean-looking one lunged at him.

"Glimmer, stop it!" shouted Tifa. She slapped the bird softly. "Sorry. She doesn't like strangers," she told Samuel apologetically. He shrugged. Cid Highwind's crew began loading the birds onto the airship, all the while trying not to get pecked.

Sam spotted Yuffie Kisaragi slipping off and into the barn. He followed. When he reached her, he saw her stuffing two round, sparkling objects into her pockets. "Hee hee hee," she muttered, "two Choco-Lure Materia for the price of none! Heh heh!"

The teen-thief laughed as she walked towards Sam. He suddenly became very angry. VERY angry. He didn't have any logical reason to be, but he was pissed. When Yuffie was close enough, he jumped out and knocked her onto her ass. "HEY!"

"You little thief! Put those Materia back! They don't belong to you, Yuffie!" he shouted, fists clenched. His face turned beet red, neck to hair follicles.

"Geeze! They don't belong to you either!"

"Yeah? So?" His jaw became clenched.

"So why're you so fucking mad?! You look ready to blow!" Yuffie sank back, obviously frightened. Sam rolled his eyes. He hauled the scared thief to her feet, then grabbed the Materia from her offering hand. He was about to put it back in its sack, when a very angry Yuffie tackled him.(In Yuffie's mind, she saw red.)

He tried to push her off, but she pinned his arms to his chest. "You jerk! You think you can boss me around?! Well, I don't think so!" She raised her fist and punched him hard in the face, and his head jerked to the side. A large purple bruise formed there.

Sam jerked roughly, knocking her off. He got to his knees, spitting blood out of his mouth. He pulled back his fist, and smashed it into the girl's stomach. She shouted out profanity, and coughed up blood. She stood, and, seemingly from out of nowhere, pulled out her Conformer. Sam gulped.
"YOU WANNA FIGHT?! I'LL GIVE YA A FIGHT!!" she screamed. Just as Yuffie was about to throw her deadly weapon, Vincent and Tifa ran in, drawn by the sounds of battle. In Yuffie's moment of distraction, Sam leapt at her. Tifa caught Sam just before he hit her, and Vincent held a struggling Yuffie by the wrists.

Tifa threw Sam backwards, where he fell against a saddle."What the hell is going on?!" she cried. Vincent tossed Yuffie back after she bit his hand. She glared at him, then at Sam.

"I'll kill that @#$!$&^%@&!!"

Vincent stared at her. "Why?"

"HE! I... we..." She was lost.

Samuel H. Rheese stood, flushed with, not anger, but shame. "Yuffie, I'm sorry! I don't know what came over me! I just suddenly got really mad, then I sorta... blacked out. I didn't know what I was doing! I just wanted to hurt someone... I'm really sorry." He hung his head in shame.

Yuffie blushed. "Yeah, well, I don't usually get so mad....I felt like something [author's note: or someone... hint hint] was controlling me... look, I'm sorry, Sam. OH! DUDE! I really bruised yer face up!" She clutched her gut. "Ohhhhh..."

Sam mumbled something about thieves getting what they deserved, and Tifa glared at him. "Okay, who attacked who?"

Yuffie pointed at Sam. He nodded. "Yeah, I tackled her. Then she tackled me. Then she hit me, I hit her, she almost skewers me, y'all know the rest." By then, Choco Billy, Cloud, Nanaki, Cid, Barret, Cait Sith, and Choco Bob were in the barn.

Cloud glared at the two assaults, and shook his head. Choco Bob had heard what Sam had said, and was scratching his stubbly chin. "You know, I heard about this kinda thing happening. All of a sudden, a bunch of goodie-two-shoe kids started brawling, and killed two people in Costa del Sol [author's note: for ye who do not knoweth, Costa = Beach, Del = Of, and Sol = Sun Beach Of Sun].

"They all got off with twenty to fifty for temporary insanity. A similar case happened in Rocket Town. It's happened at a couple other places as well, all teens between thirteen and nineteen. Odd." He gave the two teens appraising looks, then left. All of the people in the barn gave each other uneasy glances. All teens from thirteen to nineteen?

What's with the fight? Is there an epidemic among teens? If there is, who's behind it? Is Sam's face ever gonna heal? Is Terra gonna fall for Edgar? Why did I put Street Fighters in a Final Fantasy fan-fic? Why am I ripping off the notorious fic-writer Dyne [read Cait Sith's Big Break, and FFVII in Hawaii for his work, and Cid constantly cussing, watching Dukes of Hazzard, and smoking :-)] off with this paragraph? These answers (maybe) in the next exciting chapter of DragonBall Z... err, Dimensional Whiplash!!
