Chapter 11: Seasick and Frustrated
Tifa and Barret took the lead towards the elevator.
Yuffie: Oh, why did I drink so much?
Perry: you tell me.
Yuffie: When did you begin to talk?
Perry: Yesterday…
Yuffie: oh, sorry. I didn't notice.
Perry: That makes me feel good.
Red XIII: How so?
Perry: It doesn't.
Red XIII: I realize. That's what I asked.
Perry: Well, I'm not noticed much where I'm from.
I had a flashback to high school.
Perry: Last period.
I usually sat on the far end of the room. Everyone else was on the opposite end.
Student: So have any of you noticed…
Look at them over there. Why don't they ever include me in their conversations? I can understand if they don't want me to, but I'd at least like to know why? They should tell me. Why should I bother to talk to those who don't want me around?
I was snapped out of memory lane by Yuffie.
Yuffie: Perry!? Tifa has a plan.
Tifa: We need to find a way to distract the guard while everyone gets on the elevator.
Perry: and you where planning what?
Barret: We need two people. Tifa and Perry.
Perry: What do I do?
Tifa: You may not like this but you'll have to pretend to try to mug me.
Perry: Why me?
Tifa: You look suspicious. With that sword and that cloak over your face.
Perry: And he doesn't(points to Barret)
Barret: Watch it!
Tifa: C'mon you look like a mugger.
Perry: what kind of friend are you?
Yuffie: Yeah, cut him some slack. Oh, I'm so hung over.
Perry: I'll help that out afterwards.
Tifa: Well let's go.
Perry: So what do I do?
Tifa: I'll stand here and then you walk along and try to mug me. Be as realistic as possible.
Perry: I'll try my best.
She took her position near the guard. I went to move in.
Tapping her on the shoulder I made a signal that I wanted her money.
Tifa: No I won't give you my money!
Perry: We can do this easily or not. Your choice babe!
I then touched her waist and demanded money.
Tifa: No go away!
This got the guards attention.
As Tifa and I tangled I ripped the side of her shirt accidentally. She went to punch me but I ducked and she knocked out the guard.
Tifa: That worked well.
Perry: Sorry about your shirt.
Tifa: No big deal. You made it a little too real.
Barret: C'mon, before he gets back up.
We all entered the elevator. Barret pushed the up lever.
Yuffie: Say Perry, it's nice to hear you talk.
Perry: Oh?
Yuffie: Well when we met you couldn't speak to me. And I'll admit I was going to use you to get materia.
Perry: You were using me?
Yuffie: Well no. Well not now.
Perry: How could you do that?
Yuffie: I'm sorry.
Perry: GODDAMMIT!!!!! Why is it that I can never have happiness for long?
Tifa: What?
Perry: Every time I get close to being happy I'm robbed of it! First you then Yuffie uses me for her own purposes. Why do I even exist?
Red XIII: It does sound as though life isn't to happy now, but we all have our own time to fit in. Look at me, would you say I fit in with all of you?
Perry: You're right. I shouldn't have erupted like that. Now I feel like an ass.
Aeris: Don't worry too much about it.
Perry: I'm always the odd man out.
Aeris: Oh, c'mon you're not that sad. I mean I'd say you fit in.
Perry: But why? You all seem to know one another so well. Except Red XIII but you don't know a thing about me. Or even where I come from. And I don't think you'd believe me.
Aeris: Try me.
Perry: Don't laugh sis.
I whispered something into her ear.
Perry(whisper): I come from another reality. Where this whole world is fictional.
Aeris: I believe you.
Perry: Thanks sis. You're always so supportive.
I gave Aeris a hug and she returned the gesture. At least she made my life a little happier.
We reached the top and everyone got out.
Barret: Let's find some soldier uniforms and get changed. Two at a time.
First was Tifa and Aeris. After them Barret and Red XIII. Then Yuffie and I.
Yuffie: Oh, help me dress?
Perry: uhhh, I'm not…
Yuffie: Oh I forgot. You're a guy. Don't peek.
I waited for her to change first. She just needed the helmet.
Yuffie: How do I look?
Perry: Cute.
Yuffie: Soldiers aren't supposed to be cute.
Perry: Okay, then you look like crap.
Yuffie: You're lucky I still feel hung over. Ugh
She was still looking at me.
Yuffie: Can I see something?
Perry: It's not below the waist is it?
Yuffie: NO! Take off that cloak. I want to see your face.
I unzipped the cloak and lifted my head to her. My mouth was now exposed. My entire face was visible now. My green eyes gave off a glare in Yuffie's face. She could see where the scar over my left eye went. It started over my left eye and went down over the eye to about where my nose ends.
Yuffie: You have a beautiful face.
Perry: Thank you.
Yuffie: You also…should get changed.
Perry: That's right.
I put the uniform over my clothes and placed my sword in a bag Barret found for our weapons.
Perry: This uniform isn't half bad.
Yuffie: At least yours doesn't talk to you.
Perry: I'm just going to assume that's the hangover talking.
Yuffie: ow…yeah, you said you could help.
Perry: That's right.
We had time so Yuffie and I marched off to the bar.
Perry: Hey, do you have an egg, salt, pepper, water, and a little bit of scotch?
Bar Tender: Yes, hang over?
Perry: She does.
Bar Tender: Coming right up.
He passed me a glass with the ingredients in it. Yuffie didn't want it.
Yuffie: Grossness! What is this stuff.
Perry: Make pain go away!
Yuffie: Fine!
She plugged her nose and gulped it down.
Yuffie: OH MY GAWD!!!
Perry: Yummy?
Yuffie: Whatever.
After paying the man we left and followed the others to the docks. The boat to the new continent would leave soon.
Tifa: Hey Perry. Do I look like a soldier to you?
Perry: It's good except for one problem.
Tifa: What.
The uniform was right but since her breasts were so large you could tell that a woman was behind the uniform.
Perry: Well your breasts are kinda a give away.
Tifa: Oh,(looking down)you're right. Well I dunno what to do. These things aren't fake so I can't just deflate them and blow em up later.
Perry: Well try to wear something else to hide them.
Tifa: Like what? I need to disguise myself.
Perry: Make your stomach bigger.
Tifa: What?
Perry: Since one part is out then make the other parts out too. That way they just think you're out of shape.
Tifa: But I'm not!
Perry: What would you rather have? Keep your busty self and get caught or be out of shape and safe?
Tifa: I see. Fine! Well glad you realized this.
Perry: Anytime.
As sick as that sounded.
We all made our way to the docks and a large ship was parked there.
Soldier: Hey all of you! Help load!
Tifa: Yes sir!
She had used her extra clothes to cover herself and make her look more like a man.
After lifting the stuff on board we all talked with the soldier.
Soldier: Good job. Now get onboard and escort the president to the new continent.
As we got onboard three more soldiers entered.
A few minutes later the ship took off.
Yuffie was in the corner near some boxes trying to hold down her food.
Perry: you okay?
Yuffie: Perry? Urk…I don't feel too well.
Perry: I can see.
Yuffie: What…urk…can I do?
Perry: Sleep…
Yuffie: what?
Perry: Lie down and try to sleep. Somewhere that no one will see you and think your slacking.
Yuffie: I'll…try…urk
I went off and found a soldier that caught my attention.
Perry: Yes?
Aeris: It's me…Aeris.
Perry: What's happening?
Aeris: no one has noticed us yet.
Perry: That's good. Keep it up sis.
I went upstairs to the surface.
Perry: Who's that? Looks like that soldiers out of shape…oh that's Tifa.
Climbing the ladder to the platform she was on she didn't notice me at first.
Tifa: Just patrolling sir.
Perry: I can tell. Didn't know we had many women in the army?
Tifa: How did you? Perry?
Perry: That's right.
Tifa: you scared me for a moment.
Perry: Sorry, Tif. How's it going up here.
Tifa: I'll admit it feels weird doing this.
Perry: I can imagine.
Tifa: I just want to get out of this thing. It's very uncomfortable.
Looking outwards over the ocean I saw some sign of land.
Perry: well there is some land coming up. We must be getting close.
Tifa: That's good.
Getting down from the platform I found Cloud talking to Red XIII.
Red XIII: I may look akward but these humans don't seem to care. They only look at appearance.
Cloud: Hey…Perry?
Perry: Yup.
Cloud: Have you seen Barret?
Perry: not yet.
Cloud: I'll go look for him.
Red XIII: Where are you going now?
Perry: I'm going back down.
Heading downstairs I talked with Aeris some more.
Aeris: Have you found Cloud?
Perry: Just spoke with him. He went to find Barret.
Aeris: Yuffie's sleeping over there.
Perry: Glad she took my advice.
Aeris: Your so caring. Even after she well you know.
Perry: Yeah. I don't even know why. Being the nice guy has never worked out for me.
Aeris: Well keep trying. You'll get that special someone someday.
Perry: I tell myself that everyday. Stops the crying.
Aeris: Say what you will…just keep trying.
Perry: Fine.
The alarm sounded all of a sudden.
Aeris: What's this?
Perry: Maybe the others were caught.
Aeris: Let's go find them!
Perry: Wait. I gotta bring Yuffie.
Going over to where she was sleeping I picked her up and carried her in my arms up the stairs.
Aeris: There they are!
Everyone had taken off their costumes. Aeris and I did the same. We both took off Yuffie's outfit and woke her.
Yuffie: yawn…wha?
Cloud: Who could this person on board be?
All: Sephiroth!
Tifa: Must be him.
Red XIII: The most logical thing to do would be to split up and look for him.
Cloud: Who's coming? Red XIII and Barret.
Tifa: We'll hold up the fort here.
Cloud: Okay.
The three of them went downstairs to investigate.
Aeris: So now what?
Tifa: Dunno. But I'm just glad to be out of that tight soldier uniform.
Perry: I dunno. It looked good on you.
Tifa: Shut up!
Perry: love you too.
Aeris: hahahaha
That got some laughs outta her.
Yuffie: So how'd I get up here?
Aeris: Perry carried you up.
Yuffie: Oh thanks so much. You didn't have to.
Perry: I have to be the nice guy. Even if I don't get the praise and love I think I deserve.
Yuffie: Woah. Too many big words.
Tifa: How do you think the guys downstairs are doing?
The whole ship just moved.
Perry: This answer you?
Tifa: Yup.
About and hour later Cloud, Barret, and Red XIII emerged from the stairs bruised and broken.
Tifa: What happened?
Cloud: Sephiroth was there! And he was carrying Jenova.
Barret: That was one mean %&*$(.
Yuffie: You fought him?
Red XIII: We fought Jenova to be exact.
Tifa: We should be to our destination soon. You can all rest there.
Cloud: Good, I could use some R&R.
The ships docked at some beach resort. We have arrived at Costa Del Sol, The coast under the sun.
Perry: I could too.
We all disembarked and marched to the inn. It was much hotter than the game led you to believe.
Tifa and Barret took the lead towards the elevator.
Yuffie: Oh, why did I drink so much?
Perry: you tell me.
Yuffie: When did you begin to talk?
Perry: Yesterday…
Yuffie: oh, sorry. I didn't notice.
