Chapter XIV: The Final Day

            Friday was a solemn day for the band campers.  After the performance that would take place that night there would be no more band camp until next year.

"It's over.  This is the last music theory lesson, the last day with the Commander, the last everything…" Shera said somberly.

"To think I was worried about this week," Tifa smiled wistfully.  "I've had so much fun."  She paused, then grinned evilly.  "So has Aerith.  How'd the concert go last night?"

"Well, I got caught and had to endure two hours of horrible band jokes.  He told Cloud a bunch of boring guitar jokes forever, then asked what instrument I played.  I told him alto flute, and he kind of frowned…" Aerith explained, but was smiling.

"So did he tell you an alto flute joke?" Yuffie asked from where she was shoving clothes in her bag.

"He said to me, 'What key is an alto flute in?'"

"Um, it's…you said once…"  Shera bit her lip.  "It's something like G, right?"

"It is G," Aerith smiled, pleased that Shera remembered.  "So I answered, G.  And you know what he said?  'Right.  G.  Who cares.'"

            All three stared at her, then shook their heads.

"Zidane," Yuffie said, "is the one thing I will NOT miss about this camp.  Other than Commander Leonhart and such…"

            The others mumbled their agreement.

"Today we revolt!" Yuffie beamed, zipping up her suitcase.  "I've gotta run over the special mission with Cid!   Talk to you later!"  She waved as she ran out.

            The remaining three girls exchanged worried glances.

"Cid…Cid and Yuffie are capable to wreak a lot of havoc upon this camp alone.   But put 'em together…" Shera trailed off.

"Impending doom," was all Tifa said.

a/n: My chapters keep shrinking! AUGH!  I'll make sure number fifteen's really long…really really long to make up for all this!

      For the record, this story's about to end…mainly because I can't go much higher in roman numerals .

        Read and review, please, if you have time! ^-^  Love and peace, ~xifa~

a/n: that's the only alto flute joke listed that I've ever seen…kind of funny, ne?  I didn't laugh at all.
