A/N: Yaay! Another chapter, which means I'll get more
reviews…right? Thanx for the great reviews, I hope you'll like this chapter
also! Oh, and it's back to Jade's point of view…it was more fun to write it
that way ^_^"
****Jade's P.O.V****
I knew I'd have to fight, although the thought wasn't exactly comforting. I
couldn't believe the way I had fought before…but now wasn't the time.
Everyone…they were depending on me…at least I think. My hands were shaking as I
reached for the dagger, and I nearly cut myself.
"(Focus, just focus…)" It was all I
could say to keep the dagger firm in my hand.
I don't really know what happened next, the only thing I could remember after
that was Zidane yelling something…
"Watch out!!!"
Harpoon-type things were being fired at the ship, and one had just missed me. I
always hated it when I'd space out in class, but here, it would cost me a whole
lot more than detention.
I turned around to
thank Zidane and saw him trying to help the princess.
"Hmph."
I wasn't happy with Garnet, and who
would be? She gets all the attention just because she's a Princess. Heck, this
whole fuss was about her! But, I have my ways…I can get just as much attention
* evil grin *
I 'fainted' on the
spot. Yup, still got it! I am amazing!
"Ughh…" over the years, I've perfected
my "I'm miserable" sounds. They often came in handy on days when there was a
huge geography test in school ^_- I've also perfected my "too weak to stand"
voice.
"…Zidane?" I opened my eyes just a
little…
"What the heck!?"
"A-are you alright?"
I smacked my forehead. "Why don't my plans ever work!? Why
am I tormented so?"
Poor Vivi had no idea what I was talking about.
"I'm fine." I sighed, "Thanks."
I looked up to see that Zidane was still with Garnet…Why can't my plans work?
Is there like a rule against me? It was then I noticed the harpoon-things
weren't being fired at us anymore, and Steiner began fighting us again.
"(I guess…is she done attacking us?)" I
knew I was forgetting about something… Suddenly, the bomb was shot out of a
cannon.
"Crap, can't believe I forgot that…"
Vivi looked pretty scared, not that I could blame him, I mean think; how would you
like having to face a fiery ball of doom and destruction?
I glanced down at my dagger, then back at Vivi who was shaking…
"Zidane, I'm taking Vivi inside."
"What? Who's Vivi?"
I pointed at the mage and Zidane
nodded. Once we were inside the Prima Vista, I realized I'd backed myself into
a corner again.
"U-um…how did you know my name?"
What was I supposed to say? Umm…I'm a mind reader! Er…no.
"Lucky guess?" I shrugged. ^_^"
Something exploded on deck, and I rushed out to make sure everyone was ok.
"Ok, Vivi, stay here, I'll be right
back."
The little mage nodded and sat down on the floor.
On deck, I found Zidane glaring back at Alexandria castle.
"Is everyone alright?" I panted as I
ran out.
Zidane nodded, "Yeah, we're ok, how
about…" Zidane pointed back the way I had come.
"Vivi? He's ok, just a little scared."
(But what else is new?)
The ship started to shake a bit; it had taken some severe damage and I knew it
couldn't stay up for long.
I leaned over the railing and watched
as another of the propellers blew off.
The ship began a rapid descent after that.
"What are you doing!?" Zidane shouted
at me as I tried to steady myself on the railing.
"I'm jumping off, what does it look
like I'm doing?"
"You're crazy!"
"Am not! It's better than getting
squashed in a busted airship!"
I leaned over just a little further; I had to time this perfectly or else
SPLAT. And that'd be the end of my story. I was just letting go of the railing
when Zidane grabbed my arm.
"You're really gonna jump aren't you!?"
I just smiled, "When I say I'm gonna do something, I'll do it no matter what.
Now let go! I'll be fine, I promise!"
Another propeller broke off then throwing me off balance, and we both fell over
the side.
The only thing I can remember thinking before blacking out was 'holy crap…'
A/N: Shorter than I'd expected, but at least I finally got it up! I'll have
more time to work on this fic now that my grandma went home, but I was kindly
reminded by my dad that school starts in 3 weeks…I DON'T WANNA GO BACK!!!
Strange though…he seemed quiet happy while giving me the horrible information.
Maybe I was just being paranoid, he could have been dancing around for a number
of reasons…right?
Anyway, plz review! I luv reviews! Thanx ppl!
