Chapter 12! The Next Dimension of Crossovers! (Part 2)

"So, what's your idea?" Rue asked. Kuja grinned.

"Glad you asked Rue my boy!" Kuja took a step back to stand next to Freya. He grabbed her hand, kissed it, and then went back over to Rue. Freya blushed. "What I'll do is put enough magic on your sword thing that it will take us right to Cloud!" Eiko clapped her hands.

"Then make with the magic! Let's go let's go let's go! Soon, Zidane will be mine! Ahahahahahahaaaa!!" Vivi patted Eiko and shook his head.

"Sometimes, you sound very evil…" He muttered. Eiko puffed out her cheeks but shut up. Rue nodded.

"Anything to protect the people of Carona. They did so much for me during my quest…" Eiko shrugged.

"Whatever. Just give Kuja your damn sword so I can get my damn Frog Kiss and get it to the damn moon!" Vivi blinked.

"Eiko…? You say damn?" Eiko grinned.

"I say worse when you're not around." Rue smiled.

"You remind me of my friend Mint, Eiko." Eiko giggled.

"You know…now that I think about it…you are as cute as Zidane!" (^_^) Rue swallowed nervously. Kuja sighed.

"Can we just get on with it?!" He shouted. Everyone shut up. He smiled. "Better. Rue, hand me your sword. I'll put some magic on it." Rue flipped his sword out and handed it too Kuja. Kuja took a breath and laid the sword on the ground. He placed one hand on it and whipped his tail quickly. The sword glowed green for only a moment, then rocketed into the air. Rue gasped and ran over to where his sword had been.

"What the…where's my Arc Edge?" He cried. Kuja stood up.

"Uh…you see…it's going to take one night for the magic to set in. So we'll just camp here and wait, ok?" Suddenly, the usually appearance of Yume with Sakura happened  happened (^_~ Sakura has already been found by my Cameo Contest, which is still going)

"Well, you didn't forget me this time. At least I know Rue isn't from Winnie the Pooh now!" She disappeared as usual.

"Ok…I'm getting used to that now." Eiko sighed. "Ok, let's see...Vivi and Freya are in charge of tents. Kuja, get a fire going! Rue…you stay with me! ^_^"  Rue sighed. Kuja flicked his tail in annoyance and Freya and Vivi got the tent tarp and sticks out. A fire appeared near his tail. Rue shook his head.

"This place is weird…"

"…And so, Cloud gave the Frog Kiss to Tifa a.k.a 'Garnet' while we were listening to Kuja. Then you appeared. That's about it." Eiko had finally finished telling Rue everything. From when Zidane first kidnapped Garnet to early that day. Rue had already told the group everything as well. Vivi was asleep, so was Freya. She had oddly enough fallen asleep on Kuja's leg, claiming she needed a pillow. Kuja didn't complain.

"This place is weird…" Rue said. Eiko shrugged, noticing briefly that Kuja's eyes were growing heavy. She smiled.

"Tired Kuja?" She asked. Kuja grunted.

"No, I'm not. I was just thinking…" Eiko tilted her head to the side and pulled her knees closer to her chest.

"About what?" She questioned. Kuja rested his hand on Freya's shoulder.

"Freya used to hate me. Then we grew to tolerate each other…then friends…then…Eiko, you're a girl, does Freya like me?" Eiko grinned and nodded.

"Definitely! She has got the hots for you major! I mean, she keeps checking you out and the way you two fight…pure love!" Kuja blushed lightly and smiled.

"You really think so?" He asked. Eiko nodded again. Even Rue smiled. "Then…I'll…I'll…tell her I like her later…Ok?" They both nodded and Kuja lay down on the ground. Within minutes, he was fast asleep. The flames of the fire were growing dimmer. Then Rue spoke.

"You know…this quest your on…we need more back up. Plus…I think you and that small boy should stay here." Eiko glared at him.

"WHAT?!" she shouted. "I'm the leader around here!" She paused and glanced at Vivi. He was very cute when sleeping. "But Vivi…I don't want him to get hurt…" She stopped and gasped. "I mean, he'll get in the way!" Rue smiled.

"You like him. You don't want to see him hurt!" Eiko blushed madly.

"That-that'-not-not it!" She cried. Rue nodded.

"Yes it is. Just admit it. I won't tell anyone you know."  Eiko sighed, defeated.

"Ok, fine! I like Vivi a lot. But not as much as I like Zidane…at least…I think?" She rubbed her eyes with her sleeve. "Ah! This is really confusing! I think I like Zidane more but I can't tell! They both mean a lot to me! Zidane is in the hands of Tifa and Garnet! I gotta save him!" She paused. "I don't want to see Vivi hurt or worse on this quest. Freya can handle herself and if not, Kuja can definitely help her. But I can't protect Vivi!" Rue nodded.

"You have a lot of mixed feelings. But I still think it would be best if you left Vivi in the care of a friend. How about that Doctor Tot guy? He sounds ok." Eiko nodded.

"Alright. Fine. In the morning, we'll stop in Treno and leave Vivi…" She sighed. "I hope he'll forgive me." Rue smiled.

"If he is as great a guy you make him out to be, then he will." She smiled.

"You're a cool kid Rue." Rue blushed lightly.

"Thanks…"

The next morning, in Treno, Eiko had a talk with Doctor Tot. He agreed to keep Vivi safe. Vivi had a huge problem with it, protesting that Eiko could get hurt. But Rue, Kuja and Freya assured him she'd be fine. He made them promise several times before he let them go. Of course, he gave Eiko a goodbye kiss, causing her to blush uncontrollably and kick him at the same time.

When they got to the field where they had first found Rue, they discovered his sword floating just above the ground. It had a slight glow to it. Rue ran over to it and grabbed it. Kuja, Freya and Eiko gathered around it.

"Now what?" Rue asked. Kuja stepped forward.

"All we have to do is have Rue think of this place. Then we'll be there. Now Rue…think very very hard about Carona…"
