"Come on dammit," Cid was shouting, whilst running all over the launch pad.
"The senator will be here soon and we are not finished."
"Done!" shouted Yuffie over the now defining noise of the engines, which
had just burst into action.
"Done." Said the voice of Vincent roughly over the loudspeaker from the
cockpit; "it's lit up like a Christmas tree in here."
"Vent the coolant." Cid replied, "this better work." Suddenly the white
cooling fluid hit the engines and a huge amount of steam poured out of the
vents in the craft's hull.
"Yes," screamed Cid "Nice work, now shut down the secondary systems." Cid
happy with the progress went to the newly built airship dock. A lot had
changed in rocket town since his first launch, but this ship was infinitely
better than the last one he thought to himself. Cid lit a cigarette and sat
down waiting for the senator to arrive, ten minutes later whilst Cid was
wondering what midguard was like since the senator took over from shinra,
the welcoming noise of the fans from the new improved version of his own
ship, could be heard and Cid stood as the huge senatorial airship descended
and landed. There was a huge commotion on the ground as landing ropes were
attached and as mooring ropes were secured. But even all this was going on
the elevator descended towards the ground. On it was the same face but
older and more lined than before. The senatorial guard spread out, and a
very beautiful young woman walked slowly forward.
"Hello, Mr. Highwind I presume." Said the girl. "I am Marline secretary for
the senator. Do you have accommodation ready for him."
"Yes, we have got ready the prime sweet at the rocket town hotel. May I
speak with the senator?" asked Cid in his most polite tone of voice.
"Yes, whilst he walks to the hotel but not after he arrives! Ok?" replied
the girl.
Cid walked over and drew up next to the senator. "Expecting trouble? I
thought you got rid of that?"
The senator replied after a short pause, "And I thought you gave that up,"
knocking the cigarette from Cid's mouth.
"Yeah well at least I'm not sitting in and office all day after what we
did." Said Cid angrily, he was annoyed greatly.
"Is your job good fun? How's the Vamp? Oh dear well here is the hotel ill
see you tomorrow." And then the senator slammed shut the door.
"Jackass." Swore Cid and left back for his home to see yet another huge
bang from his kitchen.
"Here we go again." Said Cid and ran the rest of the way.
