Chapter Three
Strange
Premonitions
*Scene focus on a girl servant walking to a
dungeon cell. She holds a tray of stale bread and old water in a styrofoam cup that has
bite marks on it. The girl wears a tattered blue dress with a nice blue headband in her
long brown hair. She is lanky and somewhat skinny with inquizzitive brown eyes with a
mischevious and rebellious look to them. As she passes by Elly's cell, Elly yells to the
girl.*
Elly: Hey! Girl!
*The girl gets annoyed as she opens the dungeon
cell, closes it and starts unlocking Elly's chains, setting her food down (if you can call it food).*
Girl: One, my name is Kari, and two, you're
in General Celes' castle. For what I hear from her, you pissed her off quite badly and she
is going to torture you until you let her marry Locke Cole.
*Elly sighs*
Elly: So Celes has me captive, does she
now? *searches through her pocket to find two sheets of paper without a pen* Shoot . . .
do you have a pen?
Kari: *shakes her head* Celes took your
writing utensils so you couldn't escape. *looks sypathetic* If you want, I could get you
one . . . provided you help me.
Elly: *eager* Alright-- *picks up the water
and tastes it, making a face* This stuff stinks!
Kari: Sorry . . . *sighs* I want to join
the Returners against Celes and Kefka . . . I know I
won't have to be a slave to her anymore . . . even my love cannot find me! *wails*
Elly: I'm sorry, Kari. I can't get out of
here without a pen.
Kari: *looks to Elly* That's okay--I'll get
it, if you take me with you.
Elly: Sure, no problem. *rises her arms as
Kari puts the chains back on her wrists* I'll get you out of here.
Kari: Alright, I'll see what I can do.
*walks off, locks the door and leaves*
*Locke is outside, looking at the sky, sitting
under Elly's tree. He sighs as he holds a page of her writing in his hand*
Locke: Elly, where did Celes take you?
*glances to her writing and reads it* My Hell will be your Heaven . . . how true that is .
. .
*Ryvnn flies up*
Ryvnn: Locke, you're still here? *sits down
next to him* I would think you would be looking for her.
Locke: I don't even know where to start
looking, Ryvnn. *sighs as he folds up the piece of paper* It's like looking for a needle
in a haystack.
Ryvnn: *sighs* I know. Trust me, I know.
*puts a comforting hand on his shoulder* We're going to find Elly.
Locke: *looks to Ryvnn* How?
Ryvnn: Well, we know Kefka took Elly and
Celes . . . so really there's two possiblities. *holds up a finger sagely* She could
either be with Kefka or she could be with Celes. I'm betting that she's with Celes.
Locke: How? I thought--
Ryvnn: Even though Kefka took the two,
Celes was the one with the grudge against Elly. Kefka probably gave Elly to Celes. *sighs*
And then there's always the chance that she'll come back and attack you because you won't
give up your relationship with Elly.
Locke: *thinks as he puts the paper in his
pocket* Celes does own a castle . . . I never did feel comfortable in that place .
. .
*Ryvnn grins*
Ryvnn: Why don't we attack Celes' castle
then? That way, we wouldn't have to wait for Celes to attack us and we can get Elly.
*Locke stands*
Locke: Let's talk to the others about this.
*Ryvnn also stands*
Ryvnn: *nods* Alright.
*Both walk back to the castle*
*Scene switches to Sabin, Lufia, Jerin and
Aguro, who are sitting around a table. Sabin sighs as he deals cards to everyone*
Sabin: You three know how to play Go Fish?
*They nod*
Jerin: Who don't?
Lufia: I know some . . . *looks at her
seven cards and growls* Not a good hand . . .
*Aguro, Sabin and Jerin also look at their
cards and Jerin throws a Joker out of her hand*
Jerin: This ain't Batman, Sabin!
Sabin: Sorry . . . *throws his own Joker
out of his hand and the two pick up one more card* You got a five, J?
Jerin: *shakes her head* Nope. Fish out a
card.
*Sabin looks at the pile and picks up one*
Lufia: We need to help Locke, not sitting
here, playing Go Fish! *slams her hand down, revealing her cards*
Aguro: I thought it was Locke's problem.
*takes both of Lufia's sevens and lays them down as a pair*
Lufia: Technically Elly is my
cousin, so it's my problem too. *smacks Aguro* I never said you could take my cards!
Aguro: But you said you weren't--
Jerin: That's not the point.
Sabin: She's right.
Jerin: *points to Sabin* You suggested
this!
*Sabin shrugs*
Lufia: Well, we have to do something . . .
and I'm not playing cards!
Sabin: Okay! *collects everyone's cards*
*Everyone sits there for a minute before Jerin
hums the Power Rangers theme*
Jerin: Go, go Power Ran--
*Aguro and Sabin push her out of her chair*
Aguro and Sabin: I'm not listening to that!
Lufia: Will you guys get serious!?
*Everyone stops*
Lufia: We need to help Locke!
Jerin: With Celes?
Sabin: Well, you can't just fight Celes . .
.
*Aguro pulls out a Barney keychain and plays
with it*
Jerin: Well-- *looks to Aguro* Okay . . . *backs away from him, still on the floor*
Lufia: *looks to Jerin* What? *looks to
Aguro and shudders* Retard. *casts Sunder and blows up keychain*
Aguro: Noooo! *picks up keychain remains*
Why, Lufia!?
Lufia: *rises* I cannot stand
Barney. *walks out*
*Sabin looks at Lufia as she walks out,
admiring her ass*
Sabin: Anyone notice how cute she is when
she's angry? *whistles*
Jerin: Don't bother. She's taken.
Sabin: But I can't help it . . . especially
with that cute a--
Jerin: Don't even go there, Sabin. *pinches
him*
Sabin: Oww!
*Aguro laughs*
Jerin: Just remember, Sabin . . . Lufia is
off limits. Understand?
*Sabin nods*
Jerin: Good. That's all I needed to hear.
*Lufia is walking down the hallwayk, fuming
over her friends and their audacity to question her. She sees Locke and Ryvnn and runs up
to her cousins.*
Lufia: *waves* Hey!
*Locke waves back*
Ryvnn: You think of anything, Lufia?
Lufia: *fumes* No! They're playing Go Fish!
Well, I don't know if Aguro has another Barney keychain, but . . . they're not helping.
Locke: Let me guess . . . Sabin's idea?
Ryvnn: *looks sympathically to her cousin*
I thought that Aguro was gay . . .
Lufia: Not really . . . more like Aguro's .
. . *sighs* You two seen Nova?
Locke: No . . . which is strange . . .
*Tadd runs up and holds up his cloak, angry*
Tadd: Did you wash this? *looks to Ryvnn*
Ryvnn: *exhasperated* When do I wash
laundry, Tadd? I don't even know how!
Lufia: You're pathetic, Ryvnn. *smirks*
Tadd: Well, who did?
Ryvnn:
*smirks* I believe it was you, Alisword. You kept on complaining how Sassena wouldn't wash
your clothes since you insulted her the other day. So you said you'd wash them.
Tadd: *throws his clothes on the ground*
They're the size of Barbie clothes! *wails as he picks them up* I want my cloak!
Locke: Just the right size for Ken, huh?
*mutters*
Ryvnn: You want to know who did it? *goes
to Tadd and whispers in his ear and sees his face get red*
Tadd: You did it!? You sadist!
*Ryvnn makes him disappear, annoyed with him
suddenly*
Ryvnn: I know. *grins*
*Locke and Lufia laugh*
Locke: Why--
Ryvnn: I got sick of him throwing out my clothes when they're ripped. It was my first try at laundry. What
must I say? *shrugs*
Lufia: Well, why don't we three talk
someplace quieter?
Locke: Yeah, that would be good.
Lufia: Ryvnn . . .? *looks to Ryvnn for her
answer*
Ryvnn: Sure.
*The three walk to a room where it has a couch,
a full size bed and a table. Locke opens the door and Ryvnn and Lufia sit down on the
couch. Locke sits on the bed.*
Locke: Ryvnn and I think we should go to
Celes' castle.
*Sabin walks in and closes the door*
Sabin: Her castle is protected by Kefka.
This is what they're hoping for you to do, Locke.
Lufia: *looks to Sabin* Whatever happened
to Go Fish?
Sabin: Got bored. *sits next to Lufia*
Besides, I have an idea.
Ryvnn: You actually thought for
once?
Sabin: Ryvnn . . . *growls*
Locke: Please! I need help here! *The two
stop as he looks to them.* Sabin, explain your idea, please.
Sabin: Well, why not have someone pose as
you? I mean, have one of the guys? *looks to Lufia and Ryvnn* No girls.
Lufia: Don't ask Nova . . . he already did
it once . . .
Ryvnn: Yeah, as you. *smirks*
Lufia: Shut up!
Sabin: No, I was thinking more like Tadd--
Ryvnn: The hell if you think I'm
going to let--
Sabin: Hear me out!
*Ryvnn glares at him*
Ryvnn: *icily* Continue.
Sabin: Anyway-- *glares back at Ryvnn*
Lufia was going to disguise him--
Lufia: *mutters* Since when?
Sabin: --and then we'd storm the castle.
Ryvnn: *sings softly in a retarded voice* I
think I'm a clone now . . .
*Locke sighs*
Locke: That is dumb, Sabin. Just let
me think of a plan.
Sabin: I tried!
Locke: Just stick to what you're good at,
Sabin--fighting.
Sabin: *grins like an idiot* Okay!
Ryvnn: He should be a clone.
Lufia: I know. . .
*Tadd storms around in his room, throwing the
miniature clothes on the bed. Vincent watches him as Sassena slips in*
Sassena: *sees Tadd in a pink shirt with
blue jeans* Um . . . what happened?
Tadd: *angrily* Ryvnn. The little--
Vincent: *before Tadd goes on a rage* She
shrunk his clothes. *points to the bed* He's pissed.
Sassena: So I see . .. *walks behind
Vincent and kisses his neck* Aren't you lucky I'm not that harsh?
*Vincent turns around to face Sassena kissing
her lips*
Tadd: I'm going to find that fiesty little
Ka'Tacuri . . . *walks out, frustrated*
Ryvnn: *stands* I'm gonna go and find Tadd,
Locke. Let me know when you come up with a plan.
Lufia: *smirks* You miss him.
Ryvnn: You miss Nova! *runs out, face beat
red*
Locke: She's gonna go apologize to Tadd,
Lufia. She really wants a kiss from him.
Lufia: I know, Locke. Why else do you think
she turned red?
*Sabin loks confused as scene fades*
*Tadd walks in the hallway, looking around for
Ryvnn*
Tadd: She'll come out . . . I know it.
*Ryvnn wraps her skinny arms around his waist
from behind*
Ryvnn: *softly* I was only playing. I'm
sorry, love. *lays her head on his back*
*Tadd turns around to face Ryvnn as she lifts
her head. Slowly he embraces her, kissing her forehead*
Tadd: We were lucky I had extra clothes,
Ryv.
Ryvnn: That wasn't what I was going for . .
. *smirks as she leans against him*
Tadd: I know. *turns red and kisses her*
Ryvnn: *breaking the kiss* Well, now that
we did that, I should go back to Locke and Lufia and--
*Tadd silences her with a kiss*
Tadd: I'll come with you. *picks her up*
Ryvnn: *squealing in protest* Alisword!
*giggles right after*
Tadd: Well, let's go.
*They head back to Locke, Lufia and Sabin . . .
or so Ryvnn thinks until Tadd goes up the stairs. Ryvnn notices this and grins*
Ryvnn: You weren't--
Tadd: Oh no, I am. But I am changing my
shirt first. I refuse to see Locke and Lufia in a pink shirt.
*Ryvnn slides a hand up his shirt, leaning
against him*
Ryvnn: Oh, but you know you aren't going to
do just that, right? *A twinkle is in her eyes as she kisses him softly*
*Tadd laughs*
Tadd: You're implying, aren't you? *lays
her down on the bed as he looks for another shirt*
*Ryvnn rises and watches Tadd, then pulls him
to the bed and pins him and grins again*
Ryvnn: Oh, I'm doing more then implying,
Alisword . . .
Locke: Well, you kind of figure--
*Sabin finally realizes what they are talking
about and grins*
Sabin: You'd do the same thing if that was
Elly, Locke.
*Locke blushes*
Lufia: *snickers* Good one, Sabin.
*Vincent and Sassena walk in*
Vincent: Anyone seen Tadd?
Sassena: Or Ryvnn, for that matter?
*Lufia, Locke and Sabin smirk*
Lufia: Ryvnn just left.
*Locke looks to Lufia*
Locke: That was about . . . *checks his
watch* A half hour ago, Lufia.
*Sassena looks to Vincent*
Sassena: Told you, Vince!
Vincent: Well, will he--
*Ryvnn's voice comes through the door after a
squeal*
Ryvnn: Eeek! Alisword! Don't-- *another
squeal* You can put me down!
*Vincent laughs*
Locke: As I predicted. *A melancholy look
falls on his face*
*Sassena and Vincent move and sit against the
wall as Tadd comes in, carrying Ryvnn. Ryvnn lays her head on his shoulder with her eyes
closed and her arms around his waist.*
Sassena: I assume you made up . . .
*Tadd looks to Sassena, a grin on his face*
Tadd: Yep. *slips a hand under Ryvnn's
hair, putting it on her neck* I guess you could call it that . . . *sits at where Vincent
and Sassena are.
Vincent: Well, what did you do to make her
yell?
Tadd: *smirks* Pinched her ass and then
carried her.
Sassena: *appalled* Tadd! *smacks him*
Sabin: Sounded like more then that, if you
ask me . . .
*Tadd turns a deep red*
Locke: Are the major people here?
Lufia: Ryu went to see Nina and Cloud, Jowy
and Freya should be here soon.
*Sassena looks to Tadd*
Sassena: What made you come?
Tadd: Ryvnn, actually. But--
*Ryvnn mumbles to herself in her sleep,
huddling close to Tadd.*
Vincent: You might want to wake her up . .
.
Locke: She'll calm down. She's just like
Elly. Both get afraid, but as soon as you comfort them, they go to sleep again.
*Tadd strokes Ryvnn's head*
Tadd: Yeah. It always happens.
Sassena: And if they're not around, they
don't sleep.
*Tadd wraps Ryvnn up in his new black cloak.
The girl sighs and snuggles.*
Lufia: In the meantime, we'll wait for Jowy
and Ryu.
Vincent: Why not Cloud?
Locke: Cloud is retarded. Ever since that
Mako accident--
Cloud: *walking in* I only pretend
to be retarded when Tifa and Aeris are around. You know that, Locke. *sits on the couch,
playing PocketStation, which has Final Fantasy VII in it and whines* They make me look
retarded . . .
*Sassena eyes Cloud, who is dressed in a
mercenary's uniform. He has one shoulder guard on and a huge belt. His eyes are a Mako
blue and his blonde-orange hair is spiked.*
Sassena: You look retarded . . .
*Cloud eyes Sassena*
Cloud: What of it?
Locke: Break it up, you two. *looks to
Cloud* Put your game away.
Cloud: Aww! But I'm at Aeris' death! I want
to see if Sephiroth killed her or me!
Lufia: *sighs* Fine, but the first chance
you get to save, turn it off.
