Chapter 9: A Spunky Companion
The chocobo I had just caught was nearing the edge of the marshes.
I kept thinking about when to go. To avoid the snake easily. I saw it slither to the far left. Now's my chance! Instructing the chocobo to march onward quickly we sped through the marsh. The thing was behind me.
The black shadow under the marsh was gaining. Luckily I reached the other side before it caught me.
The entrance to a cave was ahead but a strange man was there.
He jumped down from the top of a creature's head. The thing was the snake that went after me. Must be more than one. The man went through the cave ahead.
Dismounting the chocobo it waited where it was as I made my way inside.
It was beautiful. The whole cavern was covered in a shiny bluish material. Mythril!
Wandering through I had eventually reached what looked like the exit. As I went up to it a man stopped me.
Suited Man: Excuse me! What are you doing here?
I couldn't say. He didn't know that though.
Suited Man: Then out of my way.
Raising his fists I prepared to fight this guy.
He rushed up to punch me but I dodged to the side and cut him along his back.
Suited Man: Good. Barrier!
I saw a gray wall appear then vanish before him.
Suited Man: Try me!
Knowing it would only cut physical attacks in half I used Fire. It burnt his suit slightly.
Suited Man: Dodge this!
With amazing speed this guy blasted me with one punch into a nearby wall.
I felt a limit build up. It felt new (what do you expect? I describe him kill 80 enemies).
Spinning my sword around I caught it like a spear (hilt end of course) and threw it at my adversary piercing him. Running up I removed the blade very painfully and continued to strike for five more blows.
Suited Man: That was good.
The two of us were limping a little from one another's attacks. Then another entered above us.
Tsung: Rude, you shouldn't attack total strangers.
Rude: Just wanted to test him.
Tsung: Oh I remember you! You were at the plate. Good job, you survived.
Perry:
Tsung: What's wrong? Can't you speak?
I nodded my head "no". He got the message.
Tsung: Well, I see no reason why we should hold you up any longer. I hope your voice returns.
As the two Turks left I kept thinking why a man working for the "bad guys" wish me luck on my voice.
Outside it was morning. What a beautiful day? I bet the others found out I'm gone.
*Lets just see
Cloud: Morning guys.
Red XIII: hmmm…that's odd…Perry is missing.
Tifa: What? Where did he go?
The group all looked outside for a few hours then went back to the ranch.
Barret: He's nowhere near the ranch.
Cloud: I didn't see him.
Tifa: Same here.
Aeris: …yeah…strange he'd get up and leave like that…hehe
Cloud: You seem strange yourself.
Tifa: Yeah…almost like she's hiding something.
Aeris: me no! I'm just a poor flower girl trying to earn a gil here and there.
Cloud: You know where he is! Spill it!
Aeris: …fine…he told me…well I could tell by his expressions that he felt he didn't belong with us so he left last night.
Tifa: Perry, I feel bad enough for what I did. Did you have to leave us by yourself?
Aeris: He'll be fine.
*Back to how Perry went
Wandering alone kinda sucked. Even if I didn't belong I still kinda missed everyone. Especially Tifa's large breasts…hehe. Seriously though the one I missed the most was Aeris. She kinda made me happy.
I didn't like having to fight all these monsters so I decided to rest in the nearby forest.
As I rested next to a tree something grabbed my tiny satchel of gil and ran off.
I chased after it.
Whoever it was, they were fast. But I was faster. I tackled the mysterious person and looking in amazement when I saw their face.
???: Hey, watch it will ya?
I couldn't believe that I was staring at Yuffie Kisargi(SP) right in the face. But then I remembered my money. Snatching the gil from her she stood up and talked to me.
Yuffie: So you wanna go again? Come one!
I shook my head to that one.
Yuffie: Afraid eh?
I nodded to that.
Yuffie: Oh, I see? Hey you haven't said a word to me. You're no gentleman.
I thought to myself that she's no lady.
Yuffie: Hello in there!! Can anybody hear me?
Perry: …
Yuffie: Can't you talk?
I shook my head no.
Yuffie: Are you serious?
Again I nodded. This was getting annoying.
Yuffie: You poor creature. I'm coming with you. You'll need someone to help talk to others.
Sounded good to me.
Yuffie: Well let's get going. Oh, the name's Yuffie, pleased to meetcha. What's yours? Oh, well.
Drawing my sword I used it to etch out my name in the sandy forest floor.
Yuffie: P…erry. Perry!
I nodded.
Yuffie: Nice name.
I never really thought my name was that nice.
Yuffie: Well let's go!
She wrapped her arm around my arm like I was escorting her somewhere.
Yuffie: There's a town not to far from here. We can go there for stuff.
As we walked arm and arm I was either thinking this was nice or she was pickpocketing me.
Yuffie: So…it sucks you can't talk. How'd it happen?
I didn't want to really talk about it. Well luckily I couldn't hehe. But…maybe if she knew she might understand me a little better. But how to express it?
Yuffie: Just think of it as charades.
With that in mind I picked up some rocks and dumped them on the ground.
Yuffie: Dropped…Fallen…Dumped…
I nodded at Dumped. Word two, this was getting silly already.
I pointed at Yuffie.
Yuffie: Me?…Yuffie?…A…girl?
Cleaver. I nodded.
Yuffie: Oh a girl that you must have cared about must have not cared as much and dumped you so your so hurt you lost your voice.
For such a person like Yuffie I was amazed she figured it all out that fast.
Yuffie: Well, when I find her I'll beat her up.
I shook my head.
Yuffie: No. Yeah, I should show some mercy. I'll let her have first blow.
Sooo weird.
We continued onwards towards a large town with a giant cannon at the top.
Yuffie: Well here's Junon. Maybe we can find a place to stay for the night.
We went into the first house on the right to see.
Yuffie: Hey old timer! You got any beds we can use?
Old Man: What? Well we do have extras but it'll cost you.
Yuffie: How much?
Old Man: For both of you 1000gil.
I was shocked at the high price for a nights rest.
Yuffie: Okay. Deal.
Old Man: Then follow me.
She reached into his back pocket with amazing speed without the old man knowing.
Old Man: The beds are in this room. Now where is the money?
Yuffie: Here.
Old Man: Pleasure.
Yuffie: Anytime chumm…
She continued as he left.
Yuffie: mmmmppp
We entered and unloaded all the stuff we had.
Yuffie: That was easy. It was his money anyways.
I stood there shocked. That's what you stole.
Yuffie: Don't worry. You can thank me later.
After taking off my boots I decided to lie on the bed.
So tired. Yuffie walked over and looked over me.
Yuffie: Whatcha thinkin about?
What I was thinking about was how Aeris and everyone else was doing.
Yuffie: By the way. What did this girl that hurt you look like?
I hated the idea of telling her but I knew Tifa would beat her easily.
Yuffie: C'mon spill it!
Standing up I used my hands and slid them down the back of my head indicating she had long hair.
Yuffie: long hair, eh? Those girls suck anyway.
Then doing a curtse to show she had a short skirt.
Yuffie: Short skirt. What a ho?
That was mean. But then I remembered it was Yuffie.
Finally the part that I hated. Reminded me of Corneo's Mansion. Putting my hands over my chest I pulled my shirt outwards.
Yuffie: So she's a big boobed, short skirt wearing long haired ho?
Ugh. I didn't like where Yuffie was going.
Yuffie: Well I'll be sure to give her a woopin.
I got into my sleeping clothes and went to bed.
Yuffie: Good idea.
She slipped into pajamas and did the same into her bed.
*Now let's see how the others are fairing
Barret: damn man! That Mythril Mine was such a pain.
Red XIII: At least it was nice a cool inside. This is a warm night.
Aeris: Yeah. Let's try and hurry to the town ahead there.
She pointed out Junon in the distance.
Tifa: I wonder what we'll find.
Cloud: Probably Perry.
Tifa: oh. Forgot about him.
Aeris: I still can't feel anything but sorrow for him.
Red XIII: He went through a loss that was important for him. We should hope that where ever he may be that he is doing just fine.
Cloud: Enough talk. Junon is beyond.
*We return to Perry now, it is morning.
I awoke with a yawn.
I looked over and saw Yuffie still sleeping. With a stuffed animal in fact. It was a tiny chocobo.
How cute, I thought to myself, as she continued to breathe so adorably.
I decided not to bother her so I prepared my gear and just sat on my bed looking over at her.
Then her eyes opened.
Yuffie: Oh Perry! Didn't expect you up so soon!
Looking over at a clock in the room it was noon.
Yuffie: So what it's noon. Need more snooze…
She wrapped herself in the blanket. Then I just gave up.
Standing I threw the blanket off her.
Yuffie: Oh fine! You win! I'll get up.
She got out of the bed and went over to her clothes.
Yuffie: You intend to watch a girl undress in front of you?
Not wanting to see where she was going with this I left the room peacefully.
Yuffie: That's better.
Outside in the hallway I could see a group of people enter the shop.
Old Man: Greetings. Can I help?
It was them. Cloud and the others made it here so quick. Yuffie must have slowed me down.
Cloud: Hey, Perry?
Aeris: It is Perry!
She ran up and hugged me tightly.
Aeris: I was so worried about you big brother!
Giving her that "I know you were" look she just kept on hugging.
Barret: Not bad. You got here yourself?
I shook my head.
Then the door behind me opened.
Yuffie: Perry, what's the…
She stopped when she saw everyone.
Yuffie: Oh…friends? Well…
Then she noticed Tifa.
Yuffie(to herself): short skirt, long hair, big boobs. That's her!
Seeing her expression I knew what Yuffie had just discovered.
Yuffie: Hey! You're the one who did this to Perry.
Running up to Tifa she tried to punch her but Tifa simply moved to the side and tripped Yuffie.
Yuffie: Hey no fair!
Tifa: What's the idea?
Yuffie: You were the one who made Perry lose his voice.
Tifa: I didn't do it on purpose!
Yuffie: How does something like that happen on accident?
Tifa: It's a long story.
She explained it everyone. It hurt hearing it again.
Tifa: So I just felt that he wasn't the one for me and that's it.
Yuffie: Wow. Poor Perry. He must be very sad. Lucky he ran into a gal like me. We're like best friends now.
Surprised she said that.
Aeris: You've barely known one another.
Barret: And you've never heard his voice.
Yuffie: Shut up! He's still my friend.
I was touched. But who knows if she'd decide I'm not worth being friends with.
Cloud: Enough about this. Let's decide what to do next.
We all went outside and tried to discuss something.
Barret: Turns out Sephiroth must have come through here to the other continent.
Cloud: Then that's where…
He was interupted by a loud scream.
Aeris: That came from the beach.
Yuffie: What are you waiting for? Let's go Perry!
Pulling me by the arm we all made our way down to see what happened.
(I hope this chapter was a good one. I'll try to add elements that are not in the game such as this chapter did. I always like being original.)
