A CHILD HERO
CHAPTER 2 - THE BIG DECISION
When I last wrote Squall and Shayne had just finished talking to cid about Timber being invaded and they had just left Cid's office...
Squall and Shayne left Cid's office and started walking home. "Shayne?" Squall asked.
"Yes dad?" Shayne asked.
"When we get home, don't say anything about Timber being invaded, ok?" Squall told Shayne.
"Why?" Shayne asked.
"Your mother will get worried and want to go, that's why" Squall told him.
"But, dad...i have to say it now, or never! I wanna go to!" Shayne yelled and they stopped. "I want to fight alongside you, dad!" Shayne told his father almost yelling.
"I can't let you go Shayne! Your mother will get worried!" Squall informed Shayne using a sturdy voice.
"But I have to go!! To prove myself!! You've seen how good I am!! Please dad, for me!?" Shayne pleaded to Squall.
"Damn kid! He'll get killed if he comes," Squall thought. "Look, just... ok, I'll think about it" Squall told Shayne.
"You don't have long!" Shayne told him. They kept walking home.
"Just don't say anything, ok?" Squall asked.
"Ok, dad" and they stopped talking. Soon enough, they got home.
"Where have you guys been?! I've been worried sick!" Rinoa yelled as they walked inside.
"I knew she'd be angry," Squall thought. "We've just finished fighting some grats, that's all!" Squall said happily, and scared at the same time.
"Oh, really? Let me ask Shayne" Rinoa said.
"Oh shit! She's gonna ask Shayne! He's terrible at lying!" Squall thought to himself.
"Shayne, where were you and your father?" Rinoa asked. "Um, we were... crap, this is gonna be hard! Um, fighting, like dad said?" he said in a trying to lie voice. "What are you keeping from me Squall!?" Rinoa asked.
"...Nothing!" Squall told her hesitantly.
"Tell me!" Rinoa said.
"...Ok, but you have to promise me something!" Squall ordered.
"What...?" Rinoa asked.
"You wont get involved" Squall told her.
"Fine! Little does he know, I'll probably end up getting involved anyway, coz I'm a sorceress!" Rinoa thought.
"Ok...Timber is being invaded, and cid has asked me to take 2 other people to help Timber and get rid of the invaders" Squall informed her.
"I HAVE TO GO!" Rinoa yelled. "But you promised..." Squall started but Rinoa butted in.
"I don't care, I am a sorceress, you'll need me!" Rinoa told him.
"You need to take care of Shayne!" Squall told her.
"STOP!" Shayne yelled and they stopped arguing. "MUM! STAY HERE! I CAN REASURE YOU TIMBER WILL BE SAFE! AND DAD...I AM COMING WITH YOU! LIKE IT OR NOT!" Shayne commanded loudly. Then there was silence for a minute.
"I've never seen Shayne so fired up! He looked like he could do anything! If I let him come, he might get all fired up again! Then he could do what he did this afternoon!" Squall thought in thrill.
"Shayne, what happened to you?" Rinoa thought.
"What did I just do? What happened?" Shayne thought to himself.
"Shayne, I've reached my decision... your coming with me" Squall started
"Yes!" Shayne screamed in his mind.
"Under one rule. Don't die, Ok? And any enemy does not live unless I say so, ok?" Squall told him. Shayne nodded. "Ok, then I just need one more person. Who should it be?" Squall asked himself. Rinoa was looking at Squall as if to say 'pick me, pick me!' "I'm sorry Rinoa, I just cant put your life at stake!" Squall told her.
"Pplleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaassseee?" Rinoa asked pleadingly.
"I'm sorry, you cant go" Squall said.
"I must, though!" Rinoa whined.
"I'm sorry, but no!" Squall told her. "And there is nothing you can do to make me take you!" Squall said. "I'm sorry Rinoa, really, I am, its just I don't want to worry about you while I'm fighting, ok?" Squall said, softly.
"...Ok. But don't get killed, ok?" Rinoa asked Squall.
"Don't worry about me! I defeated Ultimecia, remember!?" Squall said, proudfully.
A/N: is that a word? Oh, well I just didn't know the word I wanted to use so I just wrote the one closest to what I thought it was! :P
"With my help, that is!" Rinoa told him.
"And mine!" a voice butted in.
"Yes, me as well!" another voice.
"Same here!" more voices.
"Hey, what about me?!" the last voice butted in.
"What?" Squall turned around to see Selphie, Quistis, Irvine, and Zell standing in the doorway.
"We heard about the Timber incident, and immediately thought of Rinoa!" Zell said.
"You're the one who told me to go and see cid. So why did you have to go up?" Squall asked.
"Uh, I don't know, he just called me to come up and speak to him" Quistis said.
"Same with all of us!" Selphie said.
"Why would he want to talk to me alone, and all of you at once?" Squall questioned what cid did.
"Why didn't he call Rinoa though?" Irvine asked. Everyone stared at him. "Oh, right, her coming from Timber and all! Heh heh heh!" Irvine said.
"We heard you have to take two other people. Who you gonna take?" Zell asked.
"Oh, man! It's gonna be harder to pick now, with everyone here!" Squall thought. "Um, I'm not sure. So far I have picked one person." he started.
"Oh, so you picked Rinoa?" Quistis asked.
"No, he didn't pick me!" Rinoa said.
"Then who did you pick?" Quistis asked Squall, confused by why he didn't pick Rinoa.
"How am I gonna tell them that I am going to put my own sons life at risk?" Squall thought. "Well, I have picked one person, I still need to pick another, though" Squall told them. There was silence. The rest of them were waiting for Squall to say the first person, but he wasn't saying anything.
"SAY SOMETHING, GODDAMMIT!!" Zell yelled.
"Oh, sorry..." Squall apologised. "The first person I have picked is." Squall started. "This is gonna be so hard! .Is.Shayne" Squall said then putting his head down in 'shame.' Everyone gasped except for Shayne and Rinoa and Squall.
"YOUR GONNA PUT YOUR OWN SONS LIFE AT RISK!? WHAT ARE YOU? CRAZY!!??" Zell screamed at Squall.
"Yeah Squall! Zell's right! How could you do that to your own son!!?" Quistis said. "Yeah, how could you do that to little Shayne!?" Selphie said looking at Shayne.
"I agree with all of those comments!" Irvine said.
"Look, I know its not nice as a father of me but." Squall was saying.
"It's my fault" Shayne butted in.
"Your fault?" Quistis was confused.
"I told him to take me" Shayne said.
"Why?" Zell asked.
"'Cause I wanna fight! I want to travel! I want to. I want to.fight with my father!" Shayne said.
"Wow you really want to fight with me? I never knew that!" Squall said.
"I've been telling you for the past three days!" Shayne yelled.
"Oh, yeah! I forgot about that! Heh heh heh!" Squall said.
"Are you sure you wanna fight, Shayne?" Selphie asked.
"Yep! I do!" Shayne said, nodding.
"In that case, who's your second person?" Irvine asked.
"Not sure yet" Squall answered.
"You have to pick soon!" Zell said.
"Zell, Quistis, Selphie, Irvine; who should I choose? Zell's good for close combat, Quistis is good for her blue magic, Selphie's good with magic using her 'slot' and Irvine is good for distant attacking. But who should come?" Squall looked at each of the possibilities. He looked at Zell, who was punching the air.
He looked at Quistis who was sitting down on his couch.
He looked at Selphie and Irvine who were against the wall talking like a teenage couple. "If I take Selphie or Irvine they'll miss each other, so that's not a good idea. Zell? What would he miss? ...The hotdogs! Ok, I'll think about him! And Quistis? What would she miss? Well, she is the 'CC Card 'king'' so maybe she'll miss that. But they'll probably stop playing for a while anyway. They need a break. Oh, man! It's so hard to pick out of two people!
"Attention, everyone! I have reached my decision! The 2nd person I will take to Timber is."
Hahaha!! You'll have to wait until next chapter to find out who he takes!! Aren't you happy? *Pleadingly* Please don't kill me!! Please don't kill me!! I'll see you all next chapter and please R&R!!
