Chapter 15!! What goes around keeps going round and round!! Kupo!!
Author's Note: ta-da! Another chapter, just for you guys!! Keep on reviewing. Oh, Yume, a little treat for you in this chapter! ^_~
Still, back with Matt Welch in the real world…
"Got any 2's?" Barret asked Yuffie.
"Nope!" Yuffie grinned. "Go fish!" Barret sighed and grabbed a card from the pile. "Heya Sephy? Got a question for ya!"
"What you sad excuse for a ninja?" Sephiroth muttered.
"Is Vinnie here really your daddy?" Yuffie asked.
"What?" Vincent blinked. "I've already answered that question Yuffie!! I'm not his father!"
"You could be." Sephiroth shrugged. "I mean, think about it Valentine."
"Those two got a point." Cid said. "I mean, Sephy here looks a lot more like you then he does Hojo."
"Yeah, tons and tons more!" Yuffie grinned. Vincent glared at her.
"I'll have you know that Lucerica (something like that…) and I never went so far as to conceive a child!" Vincent said, getting ticked off.
"Whatever you say Vinnie…" Yuffie grinned. "So, Sephy Valentine, got any 4's?" Sephiroth threw her a 4 and Yuffie threw down her cards. "I win again!! Thank you, Mr. Valentine!"
Matt Welch stared at the game screen.
"Is this the real ending?" He wondered. Suddenly, the door burst open. There stood everyone's favorite reviewer, Yume!
"Hello there Matt Welch!" She smiled. "Naw, this isn't the ending but this will be better then the ending if they play strip poker!!" Yume sat down next to Matt on the floor and watched the games with him.
"Alright! The name of the game is…" Yuffie began. "Gin Rummy." Everyone, (including Yume) groaned. "Geez, fine, what do you want to play Sephy Valentine?" ("I'm not his father Yuffie!" Vincent said angrily.)
"Hmm…I don't know why but I feel like playing…strip poker." Everyone stared at him. Yume cheered. "But I happen to think we need more girls for that. At least two more…" Suddenly, due to fanfiction author magic, Selphie and Quintis from FF8 appeared.
"Hello!" They both said.
"Good enough…" Sephiroth muttered. Thus began the weirdest strip poker in the history of…strip poker. I'll leave it up to the reader's imagination. ^_^
"So…how can we help?" Tidus asked. "With this little quest thingy?"
"Well…" Eiko seemed to be thinking, then she said. "Do you know any flying summons around here? Cause Phoenix was my summon but now I need another one for now."
"There is Valefor." Yuna said. "He can fly but he can't carry all of you."
"Oh…" Eiko sighed. "How about any others then?"
"There's Bahamut. But I don't know about him." Yuna thought again. "Well…the Magus Sisters but they could only carry three…"
"This isn't fair!!" Eiko screamed. "Nothing is going my way! All I wanted was the Frog Kiss so that Kuja could blow the moon to hell and I could get Zidane! But no, what happened instead?" Vivi patted Eiko on the shoulder but it didn't help her much. "Instead, Zidane is basically a pile of crap since Rinoa tortured him, Tifa has my summon and my Frog Kiss and is taking over every world since she's taking every usefully item they have! Not to mention that Freya and Kuja really are falling in love ("That's not true!" They both shouted.) and Vivi hasn't cast Fire on Kuja for a million chapters!…I mean days!"
"Now there is one thing I can help you with…" Vivi grinned and turned to Kuja.
"Now wait a minute Vivi!" Kuja began backing away from the mage. "I didn't do anything yet, so you can't cast that spell!"
"Yes I can." Vivi grinned and began summoning fire.
"And why's that?" Kuja asked.
"Because, it will make Eiko happy." Vivi shrugged and cast Fira on Kuja. Kuja cried out as the flames hit him. His clothes and feathers were on fire. He looked around for water.
"Hey, uh, Kuja?" Tidus said. "There's some water right below the airship…" Kuja ran off and jumped over the edge of the airship. Eiko, Freya and Vivi ran to the side and looked down. They were hovering above a large blue ball of water, which had a stadium built around it.
"Where is he?" Freya asked.
"We better go get him…" Tidus muttered. "Follow me."
Tidus had the airship land and lead everyone out to where the blue ball was. Kuja was inside, with a lot of other people. Kuja was trying to avoid getting hit by a weird looking ball but not doing very well.
"Kuja!" Freya yelled. "Dammit, can he breath?"
"I don't know." Tidus said. "How long can he hold his breath?"
"Not long at all!" Eiko cried. "We need to get him out of there!"
"Already on it." Tidus pointed at the ball of water. "Wakka's got him. Let's go down there and make sure your friend's alright."
They got down to where Wakka had come out. Kuja was sitting on the ground, soaking wet and coughing up water. His feathers were bent oddly and his clothes were singed.
"Did you know that I never learned how to swim?" He was asking Wakka. Freya ran over to him and threw her arms around him.
"Kuja! Are you ok?" She asked. Kuja blinked.
"Yeah, I'm fine…" He said. Freya kissed him, causing Eiko to burst out with laughter. Kuja grinned as Freya pulled away.
"Vivi." He said. "If I get that result every time, then I give you permission to cast Fira on me whenever you want!" Vivi smiled.
"Sorry Kuja." He said. "Next time I'll make sure you're closer to water…and that you can swim."
"It's ok. It worked though." Kuja pointed to Eiko, who was still giggling. Freya was blushing. "Eiko's happy so it worked." Vivi nodded. Kuja got up and ran his hand over his tail, getting some of the water off it. He took his feathers out and looked at them. "I need to fix these…"
"Good job Wakka." Tidus said. "Now let's get back to the airship and get Kuja a towel or something."
Later, after Kuja had dried off, the group sat in a nice part on the airship that had couches and chairs. Kuja was wearing one of Tidus shirts and some of Auron's pants until his clothes dried. He looked funny, mostly since the clothes were too big for him. (he fixed his feathers too btw)
"Ok, so now what?" Eiko asked. "What world is next?"
"Well…what worlds have been hit so far?" Kuja wondered. "Let's see…our world…Tifa's world, Rinoa's world, Tidus's world, Rue's world…that it?"
"I think so." Vivi said. "That's four worlds so far. But what world is next? How can we get there?"
"I think I know a way…" Yuna said. "When I summon Anima and use her overdrive, she takes her victim to another world for a bit. Maybe I could have her create a door for you?"
"Thank you Yuna!" Eiko cried and gave her a hug. "I still don't know how to get to where Tifa is…"
"Well…" Freya began. "Could Anima lock on to Phoenix's magic? To you know, find Tifa?"
"It's possible." Yuna said. "We'll try in the morning."
"For now, let's sleep." Tidus said.
"Hey Kuja?" Eiko said. Kuja sighed and looked at the clock next to the couch. It was some weird looking time but it didn't take much to know that it was very late at night.
"What?" He asked. Eiko walked over to him and sat down on his stomach. He groaned and tried to push her off.
"I was wondering if I could sleep in here?" She asked. They had each taken a part of the airship to sleep. Kuja had picked the room they were in earlier.
"Get off my stomach." He muttered. Eiko jumped off and looked at him. "So why do you want to sleep in here?" He asked.
"Cause…I uh…because I had a night…"Eiko's voice trailed off. Kuja blinked.
"You had a nightmare?" He asked. Eiko nodded. "Then go sleep with Vivi or Freya or someone I don't know."
"I would…" She said. "But I talk a lot when I'm trying to get to sleep. I don't want to bug Vivi or Freya."
"How nice of you." Kuja said sarcastically. "Go bug Tidus then."
"Please Kuja?!" Eiko asked again. "Please please please?!"
"Fine!" Kuja grumbled. Eiko smiled and hopped back on the couch. She laid down on the end where Kuja's feet were.
"You have really girly feet Kuja." Eiko muttered. "Are they ticklish?"
"No. Good night Eiko." Kuja sighed and shut his eyes.
"Hey Kuja?"
Kuja sighed. "What Eiko?"
"I need a pillow…"
"That's nice…"
"Kuja!!"
"Fine, here's one of mine."
"Huh? You only had one under your head…"
"I keep one between my legs so that my back doesn't hurt when I get up."
"EW!! This came from between your legs?"
"…Fine! I'll use that one and you use the one under my head."
The two traded pillows.
"Better! Thanks Kuja!"
"…Good night Eiko…"
5 minutes later…
"Heya Kuja?"
"…ZzZzZ…snore…"
"Kuja!"
"…ZzZzZzZ…"
"Darn it Kuja wake up!" Eiko tickled his foot, causing Kuja to wake up very quickly.
"What the hell?!"
"You lied, your feet are ticklish."
"…You woke me up to tell me that?!"
"No! I woke you up cause I'm not sleepy anymore!"
"…Good for you."
"Kuja! Tell me a bedtime story!"
"…Will you fall asleep?!"
"Yep!"
"Fine…uhhh…once there was a prince. He found a princess, got married and became a king. The end, good night Eiko!"
"…That wasn't a bedtime story!! Mom used to tell me stories and that one sucked!"
"Please Eiko, go to sleep or at least let me?!"
"No! Not until you tell me a good story!"
"Fine…this story is about a very hansome, kind hearted young man. This young man had had a rough day and wanted nothing more then sleep. However, a cruel, ugly little girl wouldn't let him sleep…"
"What a mean girl!"
"Yeah, tell me about it…anyway, the hansome young man decided to kick her off the couch that he was sleeping on, that way maybe he could finally sleep!"
"…Wait a minute! You're talking about us aren't you?!"
Kuja nudged Eiko in the side until he pushed her off the couch. "Good night Eiko!"
"You're so mean to me! Why are you being such a jerkoff?"
"…Cause I want to sleep?"
"…Can I still sleep there if I go to sleep?"
"…Since I'm in such a good mood…no."
"Please?? Please please please please please please?"
"GOD!! Fine, get back up here then!!"
"Yay!" Eiko climbed back to her spot and fell asleep almost right away.
"Hmm…you know…" Kuja thought as he watched her sleep. "When her mouth isn't moving, she's almost cute."
Back to Matt Welch…
"Dude! This rocks!" Matt grinned watching the TV. They were still watching the strip poker game.
"That is does my friend." Yume smiled insanely. "That it does…"
Author's Note: Ok, not much going on this chapter but I'm in a funny mood. I hope you liked the Kuja and Eiko part. I think it's funny.
