Wow, with all the typos and all, and considering I did that story when I had a lack of sleep, I'm surprised
I got such good review so fast! Not even a flame (Yet)!
Of coarse, I got the title wrong in-story, but I'll fix that from now on, heh.. Please R/R, and flames aren't
that welcome, but I could use the tan. Besides, if I've survived being hurled into the sun in my imaginative
worlds, I can survive flames.
Disclaim thingy;
I own absolutely nothing in this story.. Wow, that sure makes me feel pathetic O_O I also take no
credit in making the characters, places, or anything, nor do I make profit or any such. And remember,
four words; I have no money. Also note that I also own no part of "Stayin' Alive", "YMCA", or any other song
used in Chapter Five.
And now, without further a-doo, the second stupidily idiotic episode of...
SKYSHIP HIGHWIND
Between The Lines
Time? After the group found out the Mako Cannon back in Midgar was overloading, ready to explode!
They take off in our favorite skyship to stop the evil scientist Hojo from giving Sephiroth a nice boost of
that Mako energy.
CHAPTER FOUR
Everyone Needs Help Sometimes
Nanaki had recently calmed down to start a business aboard the ship-- You know, make a bit of spare
gil ((FF7 money, for those that don't know the game)) while on the road. He was kind've a psychiatrist, and
had an office set up in the Chocobo stable, since they had none of the big yellow birds in there yet. The
price for one visit was a measly 100, which was actually cheap considering the huge amounts of cash
people pocketed in that dimension. Now, for this chapter only, the writing style will change, ALOT,
so be prepared...
Cait walked into the office and sat on the long, psychiatrist couch thing. Nanaki took out a clipboard
and the session began.
[Nanaki] So, Cait, what is your problem?
[Cait Sith] Well, ever since the ShinRa found out about me back at Midgar, I've been in jail-- Not this stuffed
body, I mean my real body back there.
[Nanaki] Right.
[Cait Sith] Righty-o, so anyway, you know the whole deal with our new weapon about to explode and wipe
out the whole town and all.
[Nanaki] ..Right.
[Cait Sith] Well, there's just so little I've done in my life, I don't think I'm ready to die. What if you guys don't
get here in time?
[Nanaki] Well, Cid and his trainee are both great pilots, so we should get there soon. And if you help us in
your Cait body, we should find our way to the cannon in time.
[Cait Sith] Really! So I don't have t' die, then, Mr. Lion?
[Nanaki] Nope, not neci--
[Cait Sith] Thank you thank you thank you for your heelp!!
Cait shook Nanaki's hand-- er, paw-- really, really fast for half a minute before running out of the room,
past Cloud, happy and cheerful. Cloud looked back oddly then walked into the office, plopping down on the
chair and laying on it.
[Cloud] So, I see your business is doing good.
[Nanaki] Yep, I convinced Cait that his real body wasn't going to die.
[Cloud] Wow, I was never even convinced of that myself.
[Nanaki]....... So, what's your problem?
[Cloud] Well, I got two problems. One, I get tired of being the leader at times. It's too hard. What should I
do?
[Nanaki] Well, you got three options. One, you can be a whimp and run away..
[Cloud] Um... What are the others?
[Nanaki] Two, you could commit suicide...
[Cloud] Any actual suggestions that don't mean getting myself killed?
[Nanaki] Well, no. You could also be strong and just be leader, but Sephiroth will probably kill you either
way.
[Cloud] .... Ok... So, I got one more problem
[Nanaki] Yes?
[Cloud] You see, that prank hair gel Cid lent me-- You know, that quick-dry cement gel-- is still stuck in my
hair. How do I get it out without either killing myself or shattering my hair?
[Nanaki] Well, just keep washing it, since it isn't real cement it'll water down and wash right out with proper
lather/rinse/repeat.
[Cloud] Thanks a ton, Red.
[Nanaki (aka Red VIII)] No problem, Cloud.
Cloud gave the lion a couple hundred gil and walked out of the room. Suddenly the room flashed,
the door shut tight, and Sephiroth appeared lounging in the chair, sword on the floor. Nanaki looked at
him in horror.
[Sephiroth] Oh, cut the crap, you pesky lion. I'm here for psychiatric help. Not to kill you.
[Nanaki] ..... um... ok... what do you--
[Seph] Well, you know how my real body is trapped up in Northern Cave and all. I'm bored while waiting
for you boring slowpokes to get to me. What should I do?
[Nanaki] Well, you could--
[Seph] I could go on a killing spree?
[Nanaki] Um.. Well, yes, that too, but I was suggesting playing cards with Jenova and Aeris.
[Seph] Aeris is dead, you twit. I stabbed her in the back, remember?
[Nanaki] True, but you being so close to Lifestream and all, I'd say it's logical that you could see her there.
That or play poker with some other dead people.
[Seph] Oh, you know how dead-beats play, they always cheat. It would be no fun losing to Aeris or any of
them.
[Nanaki] Why did you stab Aeris, anyway?
[Seph] Well, for three reasons. One, she was a threat to my plans of becoming super-powerful.
[Nanaki] Yes, that would probably make me kill people too. Go on.
[Seph] Two, I had to do it.
[Nanaki] Why?
[Seph] It's in the script, remember? Nothing Cloud can do can stop me from killing her, hahahah!
[Nanaki]... Right. I would know about that, but Cloud threw away that players guide he bought for FF7 a
while ago.
[Seph] And the third reason... was... She liked Cloud.
[Nanaki] Why would that make you kill her?
[Seph] Well, I liked Aeris first.
[Nanaki] You... liked.. Aeris... ? *snicker*
[Seph] And if you breath word of me being here to Anyone-- ANYONE-- I will take my five-foot-sword and jab
it down your throat and cook you roticery style.
[Nanaki]... um... o.. ok...
[Seph] Well, guess I'll be killing you twits later in the game.
[Nanaki] Guess so...
Sephiroth stood up, taking his sword back out, said something stupid like he always does and disappears
in a flash of light, reopening the door. At that time, Yuffie ran in the room and sat on the chair, pulling the
small garbage can near her in case of emergency.
[Nanaki] So, Yuffie, what's troubling you?
[Yuffie]... ugh.. other than air sickness, you mean?
[Nanaki].. Right..
Yuffie vomits in the trash can
[Nanaki] ....
[Yuffie] Uhg, I hate this ship. Anyway...
[Nanaki] Anyway..
[Yuffie] You know how Vincent is always so cold and mysterious..
[Nanaki] Yes, he's--
[Yuffie] And handsom under that mask... and has those crimson red eyes..
[Nanaki] I get the point, Yuffie.
Yuffie looks embarrased for a second before continuing.
[Yuffie] Anyway, do you know why he's so mean to people?
[Nanaki] Well, maybe he's insecure about himself. I have heard him talk about his past sins haunting his
dreams now and then.
[Yuffie] Really? THat's odd.
[Nanaki] Come back later, I'm sure he'll drop by here soon, I'll tell you--
[Yuffie] No, wait!
[Nanaki] Yes? And if this is about materia I'll bite your hand off.
[Yuffie].. No, I was going to ask.. Nevermind, I know him too well, better not ask.
[Nanaki] Why not?
[Yuffie] Well, if my guss is right, I shouldn't ask. It would be too embarassing.
[Nanaki] I won't laugh.
[Yuffie] I know you won't, but..
Yuffie winked at the corner behind Nanaki, or so it looked.
[Yuffie] I just better not-- besides.. ugh.. I g-got to go..
Yuffie vomits a bit more before running out, trash can with her. Nanaki sighed and then spin his chair
around-- and almost fell out of it when he caught sight of a pair of crimson eyes in front of him, staring at
him coldly.
[Nanaki] Uh.. Mr. Valentine! H-Hi..
[Vincent] ...
[Nanaki] ... Uh... How long have you been there?
[Vincent] Long enough..
[Nanaki] Um.. Do you need any--
[Vincent] No, I seek no psychiatric help. And if you mean about my nightmares, that is a problem I must
handle myself.
The vampireish man took a bow and walked out of the room. Nanaki sighed and left the room, too,
putting a 'CLOSED' sign on the door. Suddenly, someone's voice broke his ear drums. "YOU GOOD FOR
NOTHING %$*^#( LION!! WHY THE ^*$&% DID YOU CLOSE YOUR BUSINESS!?!?"
Nanaki looked at the pilot Cid in horror and started running away from the lance-equipped,
angry-as-a-hornet pilot. "Please come back next time it's opeeennnn!!" yelped the lion.
Time? After the gun was FINALLY stopped! Eyyyeeeaaaahh!!! Way to go people!.. *ahem*...
THe group now decides to kick back and goof off, maybe raise a Chocobo or something.
CHAPTER FIVE
Everyone Loves to Sing
(even if they can't sing good)
Although they really DID need to stop Sephiroth, since there was no actual time limit on the game,
they decided to let time up there hang in the balance while they partied the night away and then trained
however much nesicary (or however ya spell it). So, they were having a Karoake Party with a Karoake machine
Cloud bought. Everyone stood in the audience, waiting their turn, and had earlier set up a magic stage
they stole from some gypsy monster. Cait jumped up on stage, happy he wasn't dead. The floor changed
to multicolor, flashing squares. Cait was wearing an old 70's disco outfit, and a large, shimmering lighted
ball flashed disco lights all around the main room aboard the Highwind. The theme of the song "stayin'
alive" started playing, and the big stuffed doll started his disco-style dance.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah,
Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive!" blared the machine. After several rounds of the song, random
veggies were hurled at the doll, doing no damage whatsoever-- untill Barret stood up and hurled a huge
pumpkin into the doll, knocking it off stage and out cold. The stage reverted to look like the sky, and the
floor was made to look like the top of the Highwind airship. Suddenly, the YMCA music started playing, and
Cid and the other pilots jumped up on stage. ((Cid was suffering from more hyper poisoning. Everyone was
in on it this time, though, so no one was mad at anyone except for Cid, but he was too hyper to care about
the others poisoning his cofee again.))
Flyin,
Flyin' over the seas, yeah we're
Flyin',
Flyin' over the seas, and we're
Battlin',
Evil Weapons and thigns, because
We are crew aboard the...
Why don't you come to the,
Sky--- Ship Highwind!
It's fun to stay at the,
Sky---- Ship Highwi-- ind!
Fun stuff happens all day,
You make some good pay,
Plus we need more crew today!
Why don't you work at the,
Sky-- Ship Highwind!
It's great to work at the,
Sky--- Ship Highwi-- ind!
You get the point. The song continued like this untill it ended. Surprisingly, the group of pilots got some
applause, despite their failed attempt at synchronized dancing. Next up, five people seemed to have rehersed
a musical for the rest of the people. Barret ran up stage, followed by Cloud and Tifa, and then Yuffie, who
was literally dragging Vincent on-stage by his cape. THe vampire had his arms crossed, scowling as he was
forcefully added to the rest of the cast. The magic stage transformed, and they were all in odd outfits and
off-stage. The stage ground was a grassy field, the background was a huge kingdom with a volcano far off,
and the lights were simulating warm daylight. Tifa, dressed as a queen, and Yuffie, dressed as a princess,
were riding on their chocobo-drawn carraige. Suddenly, the chocobo broke free ((running into the stables
and wrecking Nanaki's office)), and a large dragon appeared!! ((Barret, dressed up as an evil dragon))
The dragon laughed/roared and kidnapped the queen, taking her to a castle far away. The king heard
of this and rushed on-stage, riding a lion (nanaki) and wearing battle armor (which was really a cheap,
metal-looking paper-mache). "What happened, Princess Yuffie?" asked King Cloud (What, expecting Vincent
to be king?). The princess took out a large blade. "Queen Tifa was kidnapped! Let's go get the dragon!"
So the two marched off, singing a song, off to the volcano.
(Sung to the tune of "The Ants go Marching 1 by 1")
We're off to save the queen today, horah, horah..
ANd then the dragon we will slay, horah! Horah!
We're headed to the dragon cave,
Hey here we are, let's slay that knave!
And we all go marching down, through the ground, to go kick, Barret's butt..
So they went into the cave to slay the evil Barret dragon. As they got deeper in the cave ((The magic
stage changed to a cave background)), Princess Yuffie disappeared. The king slayed the dragon, saved Tifa,
and walked out of the cave before realizing Yuffie was gone! "She must have wondered into.. um.. The
Castle!" King Cloud said, having to look at a cue-card in the back because he forgot his line. Tifa punched his
arm, whispering, "You idiot.."
The magic stage transformed into a castle. The king and queen disappeared and the scene showed the
Princess, who was standing nervously still, with an evil vampire walking slow, calm circles around her. "Wh..
What are you going to do with me?" asked the princess, scared stiff. The vampire shook his head, muttering
words of, "Why did I let you get me into this..." under his breath before saying, in a quite menacing, sinister,
and actually frightening voice, "Because, my dear, I am a vampire. And didn't you know that princesses have
the sweetest blood?"
Vincent had done it now. He'd gotted possessed by the demon of acting, if such thing exists. But
this is my story, and it does exist, so nyah!
"Why don't you kidnap another princess?" Yuffie asked, sweating a bit. Vincent walked in front of the
princess and flashed his fangs. "Because, your highness, all the others are guarded by evil dragons atop
treacherous castles or mountains. I'm quite fortunate to come by one so.. easy.." His voice was actually
so frightening, the audience was at the edge of their metal foldable chairs in suspense.
The scene changed to the King and Queen walking into the castle. While they went into another musical,
which was so boring and corny I'm sure none of you out there would want to hear it, the vampire and the
princess were backstage. The lion was waiting beside the stage, and the dragon was in the audience, him
supposedly dead and all. But back to backstage.
[Yuffie] Hey Vincent, you did great out there!
[Vincent] ....
[Yuffie] Hey, if I act really, really good on the next scene too, will ya gimme some Materia?
[Vincent] You stole one from me yesterday, Yuffie. Why do you wish to have more?
[Yuffie] C'mon! Just one?
[Vincent] No.
[Yuffie] Please? I'll act REALLY good!
[Vincent] No!
[Yuffie] Please?
[Vincent] NO!!
[Yuffie] .... Please?
Yuffie smiled her most innocent smile. Vincent sighed.
[Vincent] Alright. But I will act as if I were truly a vampire. As for you, breath a word of this to anyone and
you will regret it dearly.
[Yuffie] Yaaay!! I knew my charm would work!!
Vincent sighed again, irritated, and took a shiny, yellow Sense materia out, tossing it to Yuffie. She looked
at the orb excitedly as she pocketed it and ran on stage again.
Cloud ran into the stage-room where the princess and the vampire were. The vampire laughed sinisterly,
sending chills down everyone's spine as he walked over to the princess. He flashed his fake, somehow very
realistic fangs to the king and said, "You're too late. She's mine."
He leaned down and 'bit' the girl's neck. She winced and fake blood dripped down her neck as she
fell back on the bed and the curtains closed with Cloud about to kill the Vamp with a wooden stake.
The curtains opened again, and everyoen stood on-stage to bow, before they all walked off and the next
act came up. They all walked towards the audience in a group. "So, Yuffie, where'd you learn to act that
good?" Cloud asked the girl as Tifa sat next to the evil Barret dragon. Yuffie looked up at him. "Uh.. I'm not
really that good at acting."
"But you sounded just like you were in a bit of pain there!" Cloud said.
"Yeah, but whoever gave Vincent those fake fangs did a poor job of it. The idiot gave him sharp ones!"
"But what about the fake blood?"
"What fake blood?" Yuffie asked. "That jerk accidently bit me!"
"What!?" Cloud said, looking at her. She covered his mouth as Vincent shot a cold stare at them.
"I promised him not to tell anyone, but.." whispered Yuffie, "it was worth it. He gave me a sense materia!
Besides, it wasn't his fault. I'm sure he didn't know you jerks gave him sharp, fake fangs."
"Um.. I didn't give him fangs. We don't have any fake fangs on this ship."
"What!?" Yuffie almost shouted.
"Yeah, and you knwo Vincent isn't the type to have little toys like fake fangs."
"You mean..."
Cloud walked off to sit with Tifa as Yuffie stopped, watching Vincent walking over to a corner and hanging
his head down as he always does. She put one hand to her neck. "That jerk! Is he a..."

Sorry, this one was a bit shorter than others, but I did make it have two Long chapters. Besides, I needed

Stayin' Alive, Stayin' Alive!" blared the machine. After several rounds of the song, random
veggies were hurled at the doll, doing no damage whatsoever-- untill Barret stood up and hurled a huge
pumpkin into the doll, knocking it off stage and out cold. The stage reverted to look like the sky, and the
floor was made to look like the top of the Highwind airship. Suddenly, the YMCA music started playing, and
Cid and the other pilots jumped up on stage. ((Cid was suffering from more hyper poisoning. Everyone was
in on it this time, though, so no one was mad at anyone except for Cid, but he was too hyper to care about
the others poisoning his cofee again.))
Flyin,
Flyin' over the seas, yeah we're

Flyin' over the seas, and we're

You get the point. The song continued like this untill it ended. Surprisingly, the group of pilots got some
applause, despite their failed attempt at synchronized dancing. Next up, five people seemed to have rehersed
a musical for the rest of the people. Barret ran up stage, followed by Cloud and Tifa, and then Yuffie, who
was literally dragging Vincent on-stage by his cape. THe vampire had his arms crossed, scowling as he was
forcefully added to the rest of the cast. The magic stage transformed, and they were all in odd outfits and
off-stage. The stage ground was a grassy field, the background was a huge kingdom with a volcano far off,
and the lights were simulating warm daylight. Tifa, dressed as a queen, and Yuffie, dressed as a princess,
were riding on their chocobo-drawn carraige. Suddenly, the chocobo broke free ((running into the stables
and wrecking Nanaki's office)), and a large dragon appeared!! ((Barret, dressed up as an evil dragon))
The dragon laughed/roared and kidnapped the queen, taking her to a castle far away. The king heard
of this and rushed on-stage, riding a lion (nanaki) and wearing battle armor (which was really a cheap,
metal-looking paper-mache). "What happened, Princess Yuffie?" asked King Cloud (What, expecting Vincent
to be king?). The princess took out a large blade. "Queen Tifa was kidnapped! Let's go get the dragon!"
So the two marched off, singing a song, off to the volcano.
(Sung to the tune of "The Ants go Marching 1 by 1")
We're off to save the queen today, horah, horah..
ANd then the dragon we will slay, horah! Horah!
We're headed to the dragon cave,
Hey here we are, let's slay that knave!
And we all go marching down, through the ground, to go kick, Barret's butt..
So they went into the cave to slay the evil Barret dragon. As they got deeper in the cave ((The magic
stage changed to a cave background)), Princess Yuffie disappeared. The king slayed the dragon, saved Tifa,
and walked out of the cave before realizing Yuffie was gone! "She must have wondered into.. um.. The
Castle!" King Cloud said, having to look at a cue-card in the back because he forgot his line. Tifa punched his
arm, whispering, "You idiot.."
The magic stage transformed into a castle. The king and queen disappeared and the scene showed the
Princess, who was standing nervously still, with an evil vampire walking slow, calm circles around her. "Wh..
What are you going to do with me?" asked the princess, scared stiff. The vampire shook his head, muttering
words of, "Why did I let you get me into this..." under his breath before saying, in a quite menacing, sinister,
and actually frightening voice, "Because, my dear, I am a vampire. And didn't you know that princesses have
the sweetest blood?"
Vincent had done it now. He'd gotted possessed by the demon of acting, if such thing exists. But
this is my story, and it does exist, so nyah!
"Why don't you kidnap another princess?" Yuffie asked, sweating a bit. Vincent walked in front of the
princess and flashed his fangs. "Because, your highness, all the others are guarded by evil dragons atop
treacherous castles or mountains. I'm quite fortunate to come by one so.. easy.." His voice was actually
so frightening, the audience was at the edge of their metal foldable chairs in suspense.
The scene changed to the King and Queen walking into the castle. While they went into another musical,
which was so boring and corny I'm sure none of you out there would want to hear it, the vampire and the
princess were backstage. The lion was waiting beside the stage, and the dragon was in the audience, him
supposedly dead and all. But back to backstage.
[Yuffie] Hey Vincent, you did great out there!
[Vincent] ....
[Yuffie] Hey, if I act really, really good on the next scene too, will ya gimme some Materia?
[Vincent] You stole one from me yesterday, Yuffie. Why do you wish to have more?
[Yuffie] C'mon! Just one?
[Vincent] No.
[Yuffie] Please? I'll act REALLY good!
[Vincent] No!
[Yuffie] Please?
[Vincent] NO!!
[Yuffie] .... Please?
Yuffie smiled her most innocent smile. Vincent sighed.
[Vincent] Alright. But I will act as if I were truly a vampire. As for you, breath a word of this to anyone and
you will regret it dearly.
[Yuffie] Yaaay!! I knew my charm would work!!
Vincent sighed again, irritated, and took a shiny, yellow Sense materia out, tossing it to Yuffie. She looked
at the orb excitedly as she pocketed it and ran on stage again.
Cloud ran into the stage-room where the princess and the vampire were. The vampire laughed sinisterly,
sending chills down everyone's spine as he walked over to the princess. He flashed his fake, somehow very
realistic fangs to the king and said, "You're too late. She's mine."
He leaned down and 'bit' the girl's neck. She winced and fake blood dripped down her neck as she
fell back on the bed and the curtains closed with Cloud about to kill the Vamp with a wooden stake.
The curtains opened again, and everyoen stood on-stage to bow, before they all walked off and the next
act came up. They all walked towards the audience in a group. "So, Yuffie, where'd you learn to act that
good?" Cloud asked the girl as Tifa sat next to the evil Barret dragon. Yuffie looked up at him. "Uh.. I'm not
really that good at acting."
"But you sounded just like you were in a bit of pain there!" Cloud said.
"Yeah, but whoever gave Vincent those fake fangs did a poor job of it. The idiot gave him sharp ones!"
"But what about the fake blood?"
"What fake blood?" Yuffie asked. "That jerk accidently bit me!"
"What!?" Cloud said, looking at her. She covered his mouth as Vincent shot a cold stare at them.
"I promised him not to tell anyone, but.." whispered Yuffie, "it was worth it. He gave me a sense materia!
Besides, it wasn't his fault. I'm sure he didn't know you jerks gave him sharp, fake fangs."
"Um.. I didn't give him fangs. We don't have any fake fangs on this ship."
"What!?" Yuffie almost shouted.
"Yeah, and you knwo Vincent isn't the type to have little toys like fake fangs."
"You mean..."
Cloud walked off to sit with Tifa as Yuffie stopped, watching Vincent walking over to a corner and hanging
his head down as he always does. She put one hand to her neck. "That jerk! Is he a..."
