Chapter 11
Tawnya's Gift
When Eiko and Tawnya saw the look on Zidane's face they ran off. "Oh, no, we better be extra careful!" Eiko exclaimed. They rushed down the stairs and soon arrived in the guest room. They walked to the wall to check the time. "Well, we better head to Ruby's, we'll head out in five minutes." Tawnya explained. Back on the View point with Zidane and Garnet.... "I know you mad, but your over reacting." Garnet said putting a hand on Zidane's shoulder. "Yeah, I know. We better get going, or we'll be late to Ruby's theatre. But can we just play a liiiittle prank on Tawnya and Eiko?!?!? PLEEEEEEASE?!?" Zidane pleaded. "Okay, alright. But it can't be to harsh, you know." Garnet explained. "I know, I know. Come on lets get going." Zidane said as they began to walked downstairs. When they reached the guest room, they saw Eiko, Tawnya, and Quina sitting on the bed all ready to go. Tawnya, remembering to bring her present for Ruby, Opened her drawer and took out her bag. "We better get going." Tawnya exclaimed. They went and met Cid at the front of the castle. "Here are your directions." He said, and he put a map in Garnet's hand. "Thank you." Garnet said as she excepted the map. They began to make their way out by taking the Transporter to the Business district. On their way they were talking to Tawnya trying to get out what she had gotten for Ruby. Suddenly the Transporter came to a stop and they walked off. When they stepped outside herds of crowds surrounded them. "Please, please people, we have important business to attend to." Zidane yelled as the shoved people out of his way. Pretty soon in front of them, appeared a large sigh that read. The Razzle dazzle Theatre
In bright bold letters that flashed to everyone that saw it. On the sign there was an arrow pointing to the left and down some stairs. So they fallowed. Soon they came to the main area. It was bright with decorations and tables everywhere, much better then the one in Alexandria. Then they saw Ruby pop out of the corner of the room. "Hey Tawny! haven't seen ya in ages!!!" She bellowed then ran over and gave her a great big hug. "I've missed you so much!" Tawnya exclaimed as they unhooked. They walked over to a table and took a seat. Soon the whole Tantalus group joined also. "Wow Ruby, this place is so bright!" Zidane complimented. "Thanks to all my friends I got this far." She said as she gave Blank and the gang high fives. "So girly, what did ya get for me?" Ruby asked as she sat down again. Tawnya slowly lifted her bag and put a large thick cloth and padding on the table. "That's what you got her?!? a piece of fabric?" Baku yelled. Then Tawnya took another cloth out but there was something inside. Slowly and carefully she set it on top of the padding and unwrapped it. Ruby gasped. There in the middle of the table were three eggs. "What's in those ya got there honey?" Ruby said in awe. "They are dragon eggs I believe." Tawnya explained. "They are so beautiful." Ruby said staring at them. "Where did you find these?" Garnet asked. "When you first saw me in Treno, I saw a large abandon nest a little damaged off the pathway near the Entrance." "When they gunna hatch?" Ruby wondered. "I'm not sure." Tawnya said. The first egg was next to the other two. It was a sea green color with periwinkle stripes around the top and bottom of the egg. The second one was a dark brown color- quite plain- and the third wasn't even shaped like a normal egg. It was almost square. It was a soft yellow color with pink shimmers around the top. Ruby stood up and walked to Tawnya. "This is the best darn present I've gotten in my life honey." She said. "They will always be with us. But now they are yours." Tawnya said to her. Then Ruby picked the fragile eggs and cloth up and walked over into a room and set them in a padded spot next to the fireplace to keep them warm. "I'll be checking back on them always. Thank you." Ruby told. "(Wow, that's the first time in my life I've heard her talk without an accent, or bad grammar.)" Blank whispered to himself. "(This must be pretty special.)" He thought. Then the Tantalus, Garnet Eiko, Zidane and Tawnya sat down on the couches. Ruby left the room to go bring in a snack. When Quina took a seat next to Tawnya, the couch sunk down two feet and She fell on top of Quina. Then Tawnya stood up and sat next to the eggs looking at them closely. "It cozy in here." Cinna exclaimed breaking the silence. "So Blank, how have you been, I haven't seen you for a while." Tawnya said. "Well, I haven't been to good with the ladies, but otherwise I'm alright." Blank replied in a flirty kind of way. Then Ruby walked in the door with a food tray full of blue berry muffins and grape juice. "Take whatcha can eat." Ruby said as she set down the tray on the coffee table. Quina had first dibs and took about half the muffins at once and shoved them in her mouth. "Muffins my favorite other then frogs and yummy munchies." Quina said, then she slurped down three cups of juice. Everyone took about two or three muffins, Baku, about six and then they ate. "These taste wonderful!" Garnet and Tawnya said to Ruby. "Did you make them yourself?" Eiko wondered. "Yup, right off the ol' oven." Ruby exclaimed. "So where do your parents live Ruby?" Zidane asked. "Well my mama and aunt live across town, but my Father passed on." Ruby told everyone. "I'm sorry." Garnet said comforting her. Ruby then walked over to Tawnya and studied the eggs again. "These are amazing, ain't they?" She said. "They sure are." Tawnya and Blank said at the same time. Blank chuckled. Ruby then sat down as the fire warmed her back. "So, Tawnya...How bout, You me, Marcus and Eiko have lunch together tomorrow?" Blank asked. "Uh, S...sure." Tawnya excepted. "Great! Is that alright with you Marcus and Eiko?" Blank asked. "Oh.. yeah, sure." She replied. "(Wow, I think Blank's got a date with Tawnya. SSsss.)" Zidane thought. "(I'm surprised he's not inviting me and Garnet. Oh, well. He probably invited Eiko and Marcus along because he's hiding the fact he likes Tawnya. Tee hee. This is my time to get Eiko and Tawnya back.)" He thought. "(Tee hee hee MUAH HAHAHAHA!)"
When Eiko and Tawnya saw the look on Zidane's face they ran off. "Oh, no, we better be extra careful!" Eiko exclaimed. They rushed down the stairs and soon arrived in the guest room. They walked to the wall to check the time. "Well, we better head to Ruby's, we'll head out in five minutes." Tawnya explained. Back on the View point with Zidane and Garnet....
