Chapter 8
Lexi and Rick were arguing again while Leif and Chappu watched and put in unhelpful comments. Tidus laughing at the little jokes the pair put in, as Evie smiled contently at her small group. Her group was more of a little family than guardians. Shinra sighed, and looked up at the blue sky.
He examined the way the clouds formed to make sure there wasn't any rain coming soon. The sun was up high and by the looks of it; it was around three o'clock in the afternoon. They had been walking for only 8 hours already, another 412 hours to go.
Shinra looked over at Evie; her charming happy face, her shiny, soft chestnut brown hair that was tied back in a long neat braid. She had eyes like the clear blue sky above them; peaceful. In his eyes, she was the most beautiful girl in the world. Wait a second, what was he thinking?! Shinra violently shook his head, trying to get out the thoughts he had in his head.
"What's wrong?" Evie asked, noticing.
"uhh...I...uhh...nothing!" Shinra smiled his goofy smile and went to catch up with the arguing two. Evie raised an eyebrow and cocked her head to the side.
"what's wrong with him?" Tidus asked, watching Shinra run towards Lexi and Rick, and fall on his own two feet to leave all his weight on top of the pair. Evie giggled, Tidus noticed and gave a little smirk.
"Rick, get off..." Lexi weezed as Tidus and Evie walked up to them.
"I can't...Shinra, get off..." Rick said, "Lexi's bony..."
"heh, sorry guys..." Shinra said as he got up brushing off the dirt on his clothes.
"I'm not bony Rick," Lexi said as she got up.
"yah you are, your butt was digging into my back! If that's not bony, I dunno what is!" Rick said, chuckling.
"that's not bony, that an AA!" Leif smiled.
"what's that, ya?" Chappu asked.
"Anorexic assets!!" Leif and Chappu laughed, Tidus gave a little chuckle.
'This was different that Yuna's pilgrimage,' He thought, giving a smile, 'there's a lot more laughter...and a more homey feeling even when we're traveling all over the place.'
"here," Evie said as she brushed off some dirt on Shinra's sleeve, "you have dirt on your sleeve."
"oh...uhh...I...uhhh...thanks...heheheh..." Shinra blushed.
"what's with B.B.S?" Lexi said, crossing her arms and leaning on one side.
"B.B.S?" Tidus asked, looking at her.
"Big Brother Shinra," the boys answered.
"oh..."
"he's different around Evie, ya?" Chappu said, watching the two laugh together.
"you're telling me," Rick said, placing his hands behind his head, as they began walking behind the couple.
"I think they're cute together..." Lexi smiled as she observed.
"did Lexi just say, 'cute?'" Rick said, looking at her, shocked.
"yah, what's wrong with that?"
"are you ok?" Leif asked, placing his hand on her forehead.
She swiped away his hand and exclaimed, "yah! I'm fine! What's wrong with you guys?"
"nothing, you seem different too..." Leif said.
"what's that supposed to mean?" Lexi asked, raising her eyebrow.
"did you grow a penis in the last 24 hours?" Rick asked formally.
"what did you say?" Lexi said, glaring at him.
"I was just wondering if that flat chest of yours is ever gonna grow," he laughed.
"why...you...PERVERT!!!" Lexi shouted and punched Rick into the sky.
"whoa...talk about a high fly ball, over the fence..." Tidus said as he watched Rick disappear into the clouds.
"heh, nice one." Leif smiled, giving Lexi thumbs up.
"how is that a good one? She just put your brother into orbit!" Tidus exclaimed.
"she's been doin' that forever, I mean, he always falls back down..." Leif answered, smiling.
"hey, Shinra, what time is it, ya?" Chappu asked.
"Umm..." Shinra looked up at the sky, it was almost 5.
"Close to five!"
"Wow, how can you tell?" Evie asked, smiling up.
"uhh...the...uhh...it's the suns poison-position that tells me the type I mean time...." Shinra coughed.
"Oh I see, where did you learn how to do that?"
"uhh...my...mom...taught me..." Shinra sighed.
"psst," Lexi nudged Evie. Evie turned to her.
"He doesn't like talking about his mom..." She whispered, "It gets him down..."
"oh..." Evie nodded, and the sun began to set.
Shinra looked around to find a small shelter, there wasn't any. He his way to the small clearing.
"we should rest up here for the night," he said as he bent down to make a small fire.
"why? It's 5..." Leif said, approaching him.
"well, if we don't find shelter now, we'll freeze tonight..." he answered, clicking the flint together.
The group sat around the glowing fire before them, silence came over them. The sky darkened and the stars twinkled out one by one.
"hey, lets tell scary stories!!" Leif exclaimed, smiling.
"that's a good idea, ya?" Chappu added.
"umm I don't think that's a good idea..." Lexi said, curling up.
"awww, c'mon you're not scared are ya?" Tidus smiled.
"no, I'm not scared, I just..."
"it won't be that bad," Evie smiled, "I have lots of good stories."
"ok..." Lexi sighed.
"ok..." Evie began her story of 'Tell a Tale Heart' by Edgar Allen Poe. Lexi shivered with fear, and curled herself up into a ball as Evie told her story. Leif and Chappu gazing at Evie, frightened of what was about to happen. Tidus and Shinra entranced by her voice, her speech against the cold breeze.
"...And now have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses? Now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage." Evie gave a pause of eeriness and gazed at the group with giggling eyes. They stared back at her, waiting, and wanting for more.
"But even yet I refrained and kept still. I scarcely breathed. I held the lantern motionless. I tried how steadily I could maintain the ray upon the eye. Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder, every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment! -- do you mark me well? I have told you that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror. Yet, for some minutes longer I refrained and stood still. But the beating grew louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me -- the sound would be heard by a neighbour! The old man's hour had come!" as Evie said the last sentence Lexi felt a hand on her shoulder, she gave a loud shriek and she jumped on Tidus. Tidus, too, yelled, giving the signal for everyone else to scream. Chappu and Leif grabbed on to each other as they cried out. Shinra shouted, pulling himself back from the fire. Evie; was laughing. As the screams died down her laughter was the only thing being heard.
Everyone looked at her, was she mad?
"hahaha," she laughed, holding her stomach and wiping a tear from her eye, "you-you should have seen your faces!" she laughed louder, "Rick...you just-ahahahhaha" Evie held her stomach and shook her head in dismay, but she was enjoying herself.
Lexi and Tidus looked behind them, and as sure as rain, it was only Rick. He laughed at Lexi and pointed.
"that, that was too funny-oh my god! Lexi, ahhahaha," he laughed, and a tear trickled down from his black eye.
"ohhh, you just shut up Rick!" she exclaimed and stood up. Chappu and Leif looked at each other and began laughing too. Tidus smiled and exchanged glances with Shinra; they began to laugh. Lexi smiled and giggled, but the person who was getting the most out of this moment was Evie. Evie still laughing her head of; crying, it was just too much.
Soon then, the laughter died down, and Rick, Leif and Chappu fell asleep. The last four sat around the fire.
"How long till we get to Rin's?" Lexi asked, breaking the silence.
"In about 4 days, if we move fast enough we'll make it in 2," Shinra answered, looking at her.
"ok," Lexi smiled and looked up at the sky, "wow..."
"hey, Evie, do you think if the wishes on these stars come true?" Shinra looked up, and watched the two converse.
"Maybe, I can't say for sure..." Evie smiled, back, "why are you asking?"
"Because, I wanna make a wish and I wanna know if it'll come true..." Lexi answered, changing her seating position.
"well, then make a wish..." Tidus said, coming into the conversation.
"huh?"
"make a wish and see if it'll come true." Lexi smiled and looked up at the sky again, and then shut her eyes.
'star light, star bright, the first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, on the first star I see tonight...please Mr. Star...please, help me find my happy ending...' Lexi again opened her eyes.
"what did you wish for?" Shinra asked, smiling at her.
Lexi was about to answer but Evie exclaimed, "no! Don't tell him! Then it won't come true!"
"how does that work?" Shinra asked,
"I...dunno..."
"maybe it works because it does..." Tidus said shrugging.
"and maybe, Shinra, you think too much..." Lexi giggled and stood up, "I'm going to bed..."
"good girl." Shinra said, nodding his head.
"now I won't." Lexi sat back down, and Shinra groaned, "I'm not carrying you tomorrow morning..."
"then, don't." he groaned again, he knew he wasn't going to win. Evie giggled, and smiled.
"well, I'm going to sleep," Tidus said lying down, "g'night."
"night," the three said, then Lexi yawned. Shinra gave her a stern looked. Lexi sighed, and lied down beside Tidus.
"you seem to handle her well," Evie said, smiling at him.
"I...uhhh...heh..." Shinra blushed and turned his attention back to the fire.
"you should sheep -sleep too, I'll stay up to make sure no finds-fiends are coming." Shinra said, trying not to look at her.
Evie yawned, and said, "I guess I should today tired me out..." she stretched out and lied down.
"Good night Evie...sweet dreams..." he whispered, and he watched her take a deep breathe and fall into a deep sleep.
Shinra sighed; he was alone in the cold night. It wasn't very unusual for him, every time they had some sort of camp out in the forest, Shinra would be the last one up. Why, because he loved those rascals. Shinra, Rick, Leif, Lexi, and Chappu, if they did not have each other life wouldn't be worth living. He sighed, and lies down on his back, gazing up at the eternity above him.
He looked over a Lexi who moved closer to Tidus for warmth, he saw Tidus wrap his arms around her. 'I guess he thinks she's Yuna, most people do...' Shinra thought, sighing.
"It's ok Yuna, I'll keep you warm..." Tidus said.
"I'm not Yuna..." Lexi growled and crawled over beside Shinra.
"what happened?" Shinra whispered, giving her a chuckle.
"he touched me..." Lexi yawned.
"so?"
"he's my moms...boyfriend..." Shinra chuckled, and let her rest her head on his arm.
"good night, Romeo..." Lexi joked,
"G'night," Shinra sighed, and he too closed his eyes. He had missed a shooting star.
--change scene-
The sun was slowly coming up on the empty road. A flock of wild chocobo from behind them ran frantically. He kept running and they stomped over the sleeping group.
"What? Whoa!" Tidus exclaimed as he stood up.
"where's the fire, ya?" Chappu added, looking at the burnt out remains of the fire.
"AHH!! IT HURTS!! MY HAND!!" Leif exclaimed.
"what happened?" Evie asked, as the flock ran away.
"the ashes burnt it..." Shinra and Lexi stood up, and looked around. Where was Rick?
"AHHHHHHH!!" Rick exclaimed as he ran towards them, "I ADIVSE YOU TO RUN!!!" he shouted as he passed them.
"why?" Lexi and Leif asked, as they watched him. Then a roar behind them seemed to answer the question. The group gazed back and their eyes widened.
"CHOCOBO EATER!!!" They exclaimed and they chased after Rick with the fiend behind them.
"RICK WHAT DID YOU DO?!?!?!" Tidus exclaimed.
"Nothing!! I was trying to catch a chocobo so that we could ride on it, then IT APPEARED!!" Rick answered back.
"Damn you Rick!! I hate you!!! Why Lure it here!?! Not somewhere else!! Like...NOT AROUND US!!!" Lexi exclaimed.
"because I ain't running alone!!!" he answered.
"RICK!!!!" Leif shouted,
"there's no time to argue!! Just keep running!!" Shinra exclaimed as he took out a grenade from his pocket.
"what-what are you doing!?" Evie asked,
"DUCK!" Shinra exclaimed as he took Evie down, while throwing the grenade back. It exploded causing the fiend to roar.
Evie stood up and began summoning.
"we'll cover you, ya?" Chappu said, throwing his blitz ball and causing 400 damage.
"I'm too tired to fight, so...you know...I'll sit here...and curse at the mother fucking fiend..." Lexi said and sat down at the side, watching the boys fight.
"great, our weapons are a beach ball and colorful language..." Rick said sarcastically as he gave the fiend a firea ball.
"ahhh, you know, we wouldn't be in this mess if YOU hadn't gone anywhere..." Leif added, sending in more black magic.
"hey, shut up! I tried didn't I?" Rick added as he attacked the Chocobo eater.
"yah, tried to get us killed!" Tidus added as he sliced at the monster. Shinra threw in another Grenade and Evie's summon came in view.
The golden horn, and the sounds of hooves. Evie smiled and commanded it to use 'Thor's Hammer.' The unicorn obeyed and it shocked the fiend, cause more damage than it should have.
"wow, Evie! Nice one!" Lexi smiled, giving her thumbs up.
"I think I'm really getting the hang of this summoner stuff," Evie smiled.
"Rick...what are you doing, ya?" Chappu asked as he turned around from the fiend.
Everyone turned around to see Rick having an glaring contest with a chocobo.
"you guys, catch it..." Rick said, trying not to blink, because he knew if he blinked it would get away.
"umm...how exactly?" Leif asked,
"do any of you have any greens?" Shinra asked, sighing. They all shook their heads. Rick slowly inched his way forward.
"Rick...you're not going to..." Lexi watched him with dull eyes.
"oh my god, Rick, you can't even ride a motorcycle...how do you expect to ride a chocobo, ya?" Chappu asked.
"oh...great..." Tidus sighed and saw Rick pounce onto the chocobo. It squawked and began sprinting.
"...oh shit..." Leif sighed.
"We're gonna need that chocobo back...It has our passenger..." Shinra said
"so?" Lexi answered.
"good point..." Shinra added.
"yah, and another good point is that if Rick is gone we're gonna be punished..." Leif put in. they all looked up and stared blankly at eachother, then gazed out to the fading yellow bird with a yelling rider.
"COME BACK HERE YOU OVER GROWN POLTRY!!!" Lexi exclaimed as the four of the ran.
"punished?" Evie asked, and chased after them with Tidus.

Lexi and Rick were arguing again while Leif and Chappu watched and put in unhelpful comments. Tidus laughing at the little jokes the pair put in, as Evie smiled contently at her small group. Her group was more of a little family than guardians. Shinra sighed, and looked up at the blue sky.

"We're gonna need that chocobo back...It has our passenger..." Shinra said
"so?" Lexi answered.
"good point..." Shinra added.
"yah, and another good point is that if Rick is gone we're gonna be punished..." Leif put in. they all looked up and stared blankly at eachother, then gazed out to the fading yellow bird with a yelling rider.
"COME BACK HERE YOU OVER GROWN POLTRY!!!" Lexi exclaimed as the four of the ran.
"punished?" Evie asked, and chased after them with Tidus.
