Chapter 2
Quina, the Food Bandit
Zidane and Garnet just got out of school. They were finally going out; they soon became a popular couple. They loved each other with a love that never dwindled, as they walked together and got on one of the school buses. They sat next to each other in one seat, and talked tenderly to each other. No one disturbed them.
As the bus reached their stop, they gathered up their belongings. Garnet grabbed her chocobo satchel hurriedly, while Zidane snatched his backpack depicting Bahamut from off the seat.
They exited the bus, and the doors closed behind them, no other students following after them. This was their own bus stop. They began to walk down the sidewalk, holding hands, sauntering to Zidane's house.
"Is your mother home today, Zidane?" Garnet asked.
"No, she's out trying to find a job again," he said.
They turned the corner and started walking down Zidane's street.
"So, Zidane, why don't we....."
Their conversation was abruptly interrupted. Out of the sky, like a giant meteor, came Quina, the food monstrosity. She crashed to the earth, and at once, grabbed Garnet, holding her like a hostage.
"Garnet!"
Garnet tried to squirm out, but it proved to be no use. Quina's massively lard-packed fat arms locked her in mercilessly.
"Zidane, help!"
"Let her go!"
Zidane punched Quina in the stomach, but it was futile. The blow was easily absorbed by incredible fat.
"Why you struggle? Quina just wants food! You have food?" the gourmand thundered.
"No, let me go!"
"Give me food!"
Zidane jumped atop Quina's head and began slapping it.
"Monkey?" Quina wondered stupidly, while examining Zidane's tail.
Zidane slammed his fist into Quina's face.
"Ow!"
Quina dropped the helpless Garnet.
"FOOD!" she cried in confusion, holding her huge face, while her multiple chins swung in the wind.
"Come on, Garnet! RUN!" Zidane screamed in a panic, grabbing her hand hastily.
They ran down the street, as Quina stood staggering, grasping her obese face.
"That must be Quina, the Food Bandit!" Garnet cried. "She, or he, or is it a she? Anyway, it's a dangerous wanted criminal! I saw it on the news the other day!"
Quina yelped loudly in pain.
"Ouch! Hurt bad!"
Suddenly, his/her stomach began to rumble. He/she clutched it. (That's it! From now on, Quina is a she! It's just too annoying to keep putting he/she.)
"What this now?"
Abruptly, the gurgling sound rose and increased, causing Quina, whom is now a she, to expel the strange object from her mouth. It was Eiko.
"Ah! There's nothing quite like the smell of putrid regurgitation on a fresh, crisp afternoon!" Eiko said, completely drenched in Quina's noxious bodily junk food fluids.
"Ah! That much better!" Quina said. "But what a waste of good food!"
Quina recovered, and finally took notice of Zidane and Garnet's fleeing.
"Quina want food! Like Limburger cheese, or eggplant parmesan, or spicy sausage, or chicken fajitas, or broccoli and cheese soup, or corned beef hash, or tuna tartar, or black licorice, or honey-baked ham, or food!"
Quina transformed into a giant bowling ball, and began to roll down the street, as powerful as a steamroller, in an attempt to crush the two. They ran as fast as they could, with Quina slowly gaining on them.
"Zidane, quick! Get the key out! Your house is right there!"
Zidane fumbled for the keys, searching his pockets. He finally found them, as they approached his house.
"Quick! Let's get in, Garnet!"
As they approached the front door, they noticed an unusual silence. They turned around, and saw that no one was in sight. Nobody running, nor rolling.
"Hm. Strange. How could something that massive disappear just like that?"
Zidane put in the key, turned the doorknob, and opened the door. They gasped when they saw someone standing there unexpectedly, in the doorway.
