~*~ OK, I put this chappy up because there is something really wrong with chappy 3. I was HOPING that maybe if I uploaded a new chapter, it would fix itself…..grrrr…..OK well, enough with me being mad, hope you like the next chap, it's a bit short though, sowwy!!!!~*~

The Pyerflies filled the air as the fiend slowly started to evaporate. Once we disposed of the fiend, the Chocobo's began to run freely about around the building. Everyone in the area cheered for us and clapped for our victory.

Everyone was exhausted. We were sweating terribly, but we felt our strength grow deep within us. I let my body level with the ground as I placed my hands under my head for support. Tidus then sat on the ground with me and placed his head on my stomach.

"Heeeey!" I giggled.

Tidus laughed with me and placed his hands on my stomach and began "fluffing" up my tummy. "Sorry but your stomach needs a fluffing."

From the distance, we saw a Chocobo breeder approach us riding one of the saved Chocobo's. She stopped at our area and then dismounted her bird. "Thank you ever so much for saving the Chocobo's!" she said with a smile while petting her survivor.  "The other ranchers here would like you to take this as a token of our appreciation." She reached into her bag and brought out a couple bottles of water and some hi- potions. We thanked her for her generous offering and drank the water in which she gave us.  "If you guys would like, we are allowing you to ride our Chocobo's for free as another thank you from the ranchers. This first one's on us!"

We bowed our heads and thanked the woman once again for the offerings. "Thank you very much" Yuna said as she watched the Chocobo breeder mount her survivor. The woman waved us a farewell and she headed back towards the ranch.

"Yunie!" I said, standing up next to her and holding her one hand. "Can we ride the Chocobo's to the next town? Pleeease?"

Yuna giggled lightly and she returned her hidden face to me with a smile, "I don't see why not." She answered. She turned to the rest of the group and they all nodded to each other in agreement…except Auron. 

I walked up to the cryptic man and cleared my throat. "Please Auron? We won't get attacked by fiends if we do!" I said to him with a hint of my cute begging tone.

He looked down to me and sighed, "If the summoner wishes." With that, he began to walk to the inn and said nothing in exchange.  I cheered silently to myself and then ran up to Yunie as my arm intertwined hers. We all started to walk along the path to the inn just as Auron had left by his dust.
