Final Fantasy: Kindergarten Wars
The kingdom of Alexandria sat atop a grand waterfall. Around the outskirts, little peasant houses sat made of straw and wood. If a traveller were to make his way into the centre of this magnificent city, he would see the straw houses gradually evolve into elaborate brick structures with roof shingles made of the finest wood.
This section was the marketplace, where merchants from all over the world of Gaia gathered in a combined effort to make a gil or two. Fruit merchants bragged about their produce to a crowd that never seemed to hear them while poultry farmers gathered their chickens, who narrowly escaped the clutches of evil children.
Alexandria was a prosperous kingdom until one day, the King of Dragons, the great Bahamut, came and attempted to destroy it! But this was no ordinary kingdom for it was guarded by a majestic eidolon named Alexander. With little effort, the mighty eidolon destroyed the Dragon King and the Alexandrians lived happily ever after.
"Yeah but then this evil eye appears out of the sky!!" A small blond haired boy waved a palm over the intricately positioned mass of blocks that represented the Kingdom of Alexandria. "The eye powers up it's evil energy, and destroys Alexandria!!!!" the boy brought his hand down upon the blocks and knocked them across the playfloor.
He grinned at the little girl sitting there cross legged, who had spent a whole ten minutes carefully positioning the blocks to look like her magical kingdom. The girl's black shoulder length locks framed a round face, with dark eyes filling up with tears.
"Seifer.." the girl said with a trembling voice, "you're so MEAN!!!" Her face twisted into a mask of emotional agony and she wailed, her voice travelling the distance of the entire room.
Seifer stuck out his bottom lip and mocked the girl. "Aww, sad that your precious Alexandria got destroyed? Don't be such a cry baby, Garnet."
Garnet stood up and scratched him, creating a cut reaching from his forehead and crossed diagonally downward across his nose that ended just below his eye. "That's Princess Garnet Til Alexandros the Seventeenth to you buster!!"
Now it was Seifer's turn to cry as he held a hand to his face and howled. "Matron Edea's gonna get you in sooo much trouble," he threatened her.
"Oh yeah?" Garnet taunted.
"YEAH!!" Seifer shot back as his tear filled eyes started straight into her soul. Garnet realised that Seifer could be right and the two began a chorus of howling, whimpers and tears.
"You guys, it'll be okay," a little brunette girl dressed in a pink skirt reaching to her ankles came towards them. She had large green eyes and brown hair tied into a pony tail with a pink ribbon. Long bangs reached around her face and down to her chin. "If we don't tell Matron, then nobody gets in trouble, okay?"
The two nodded, rubbing their eyes. "I'll cure you," the brunette girl said. She put her hands to her pockets, analyzing their contents with her gentle touch. "Where did I put my Cure materia??"
"You're so nice Aeris," Garnet said smiling. "Maybe your Cure materia can make Seifer stop being such a MEANIE!!"
"Oh, there it is!" Aeris said pointing across the room. A baby phoenix sat on the ground with the materia between it's feet, pecking at it, creating a pleasant tinkle each time it's beak struck the crystal.
"Rydia!! Make your Phoenix summon give my materia back!" Aeris demanded. "I told you, he can't have it!"
Rydia, a green haired girl sat together with a purple haired girl named Eiko, with their backs turned towards the unhappy Aeris. Both of them supported a long horn in the centre of their foreheads, the sign of summoners. Eiko turned around and said, "Actually, Phoenix happens to be OUR summon, not just Rydia's."
Aeris was crossed. "I don't care who's summon it is, I want my materia back!"
"Maybe you'd get it back if you said please!" Aeris looked and saw it was the class self proclaimed mother, Quistis and her four eyed glasses.
Aeris rolled her eyes. "May I PLEASE have my materia back?"
"Sure," Rydia said. She went over and picked up the green crystal sphere and handed it to Aeris who was about to take it when a third hand came and grabbed it.
"OOHH!!! It's Materia!!!" a black haired girl dressed like a ninja said. "This is gonna be such a great addition to my collection!"
"Stop it, Yuffie!" Garnet said. "This is Aeris's and she's gonna use it to make me stop crying and to make Seifer stop being a meany."
"I cannot believe this is how you children act while I am away," a matured womans voice said. The children looked up with their round faces at the beautiful woman who just entered the room. "Why can't you spend your time constructively like Relm over there who's painting that lovely picture?"
The kids glanced over at a girl with a bandana tied around her head. The girl smiled and continued her work. Matron Edea walked over to look at the piece. "Well isn't this lovely?" she commented. "It's so....." She paused, then spoke with a harsh tone. "Relm, this is kindergarten and you're not supposed to know about these acts of.... human reproduction at such an early age!" she scolded.
Seifer whispered into Quistis's ear. "That Relm is sooooo weird. She paints pictures of people with no clothes and their no-no places in funny poses. The two snickered.
"Seifer!" Edea said, finally noticing his presence. "Why aren't you outside playing ball with all the other boys?"
"Because that ugly King Edgar Figaro guy kicked the ball and it landed on Cloud's spikey hair. So now I have no ball so I came here to play with Garnet. He shot Garnet a mean look who stared back with narrowed eyes.
Edea's eyes widened. "So where are all the other boys now?"
"Cloud's in the bathroom trying to get the flat ball out of his hair and Edgar is helping him. Locke is trying to steal Squall's lolly but Squall just wants to all alone. That's all I know."
Edea frowned. "Well, then I guess it's time for you kids to play nicely," she said with her hands on her hips. "Seifer, I want you to go and call the other boys. We're going to play a game of Blitz Dodgeball."
The girls in the room huddled together in a mass of shivering bodies. "But Tidus is really bad at that game. He throws the ball too hard!!"
Edea stood in front of the children and revealed the grand prize. The kid's faces immediately glowed with smiles while little rivers of saliva ran from their mouths. She held up a transparent bucket filled the the rim with all sorts of chocolate, sweets, easter eggs, lollypops and twinkies. "The team that wins this game gets to share this whole bucket of candy!" she declared. "We'll see how you work together in a team."
The children were led outside to the a large grass field surrounded by shrubs, not too far from the school. A white line divided the field in half and along this line were Blitzballs of various colors. It was in this field that the children were to decided the outcome of this fateful battle. Brains and brawn had to work in harmony in this game of Blitz Dodgeball for the ultimate prize, one that was far more valuable than Triple Triad Card Trading, a field of mud puddles, even the pleasure of scaring the girls with slugs. The stakes were high this time, for no child could resist the power, of sugar.
