FINAL FANTASY 4-EVER

Summary: the main characters suddenly "disappear" when they go to sleep!! Where do think would they end up & what kind of adventures & troubles would come their way?

Disclaimers: I don't own Ultra Maniac and since this story has some mixtures of games (like the weapons of some game characters, places of some games, etc.) I don't own the games either. If you're wondering what games, I can't tell you 'coz there are many of them and its so tiring to type them all 'coz I'm a lazy pig for your information

A/N: I'm just a bored kid with nothing to do the whole summer vacation but write, write and write... and also watch my big bro and his basketball team members get beat up by their competing teams... demoralizers!!!! Anyway, this is based on my original story that I wrote at the start of classes LAST school year ('03-'04) but didn't get to finish. I just hope I get to finish it this time...

CHAPTER I: Vanishing Sleep...

It was a cold night at an all-girls' jr. high school in Shuuei, and it was time for the teachers to check on the dormitory rooms, to see if nobody played hooky that night. But when one of them checked two of the eighth grade dormitories, something was dead wrong...

The next day... KKRRRRRIIIINNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!

"YATAA!!! Its LUNCHTIME!!!!!"

Ayu Tateishi, Nina Sakura, Maya Orihara and Sayaka Nakamura, all ordinary eighth grade students, ate together at their "special table" in the cafeteria, specially for themselves. They ate and chatted and ate and chatted until they were finished with their lunch. They then went back to their classroom. But on their way...

Ayu was looking out the window, thinking of anything but nothing in particular, when she saw a sight that made her freeze, rooted on the spot, wide-eyed and frightened. "Uh, guys?" she said, "Don't look now, but I think our school has some visitors... who awfully looks a lot like our parents!!"

"NANI!!!!!!!!!"

They pushed Ayu aside to see if she was telling the truth (and Ayu fell headfirst, her eyes all in swirls) and sure enough, seven adults went inside the school building. At the same time, the PA system was turned on.

"Good noon my dear students," the principal, as well as the four girls' advisor Mikami-sensei, said, his nose so sounding plugged up as usual. "Pardon this interruption to your meals, but I would like to ask Miss Tateishi, Miss Sakura, Miss Nakamura and Miss Orihara to come to my office right now. That is all, thank you."

Nervously, they made their way towards the principal's office. Inside, their parents were all seated with mixed emotions on their faces.

"Come in," Mikami-sensei said. The four girls went in.

"I believe you girls know the reason as to why you have been called," he started. The four had lots of question marks all over them and they were looking at each other.

Then, Mrs. Orihara stood up. "Your principal has been honest enough to tell us that you have been out of bed last night!"

"NANI!!!!"

"You heard that right, ladies!!!" Mr. Nakamura said.

"But dad --" Sayaka started, but her mother cut her off by saying, "Don't talk back to your father!!!"

Luckily, it was only Ayu's father who came, meaning there wasn't anyone to "fast talk" Ayu. And being the "kind" father that he is, he listened to their side, and Ayu told him everything, meaning that they were sleeping all along and they have no idea what their principal was talking about or where he got that superb but stupid idea or story that they were out all night. When Mr. Tateishi voiced this out...

"Nonsense," Mikami-sensei said. "Our teachers didn't see anybody in their beds."

"But its true!!!" Sayaka shouted. "I even had a nice dream!!!"

"I even dreamt that I was playing tennis," Ayu stated. "But I fell down... and when I woke up, my butt fell sore..."

A thought, which looks a lot like thunder, struck Mr. & Mrs. Sakura and Mr. Orihara.

"I also dreamt that I was cutting grass with someone," Maya said. "And that someone accidentally slashed my knee!!"

'And she has a wound on her knee too!' Mr. Sakura thought as he noticed a little dry cut on her right knee. 'But... it can't!! It just CAN'T!!'

After hearing the girls' side of the story, he thought for a while...

"I guess," he started, "...I have to talk to the teachers."

After settling it, they went out of the office.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Sakura whispered to Mr. Sakura and Mr. Orihara. "I thought the mission was completed 22 years ago!!!"

"I know," Mr. Sakura whispered back. "The prophecy of the 'FINAL DESTINATION OF NABURU' told us that the gate to 'HYRULE' could be only opened once!! What could have happened to Hyrule?"

"I don't know..." Mr. Orihara whispered.

"Let's check 'the book' when we arrive home," Mrs. Sakura told her husband. He nodded.

"And I think," Mr. Orihara said, "that we should contact Headmaster Cid once more."

"WHAT?!" Mr. Sakura exclaimed, frightening some seventh graders. "NOT otosan?!"

"I'm sorry, koi," Mrs. Sakura said. "But he's our... last resort..."

In the parking lot...

"Uh, Nina-chan?" Mr. Sakura called his daughter, looking at his wife with a worried look on his face.

Nina went near them, smiling. "Yea?"

"You're going home later, right?" her mother asked. Nina nodded.

"Yup!! 'Coz tomorrow's a weekend!!!"

"Umm, Nina-chan," Mr. Sakura said. "Can you tell your friends that they and their families are invited for dinner tonight. We need to talk to their parents regarding... our little meeting with your principal."

Nina raised both her brows. "Ah, ok!"

They went to their classroom at the same time when their parents left.

"Ei, guys!" Nina said. "MY parents said that you and your families are invited for dinner tonight!!"

"Sounds great!!" the three said as they entered their room.

After lunch, their teacher explained to the class the little "misunderstanding" they had that they called the four.

Boring classes and teachers I would rather not mention went and gone... Until... Dismissal!! The students went to their dormitories to get some of their things for their weekend with their families.
