Ramza took out his sword and as he did the others followed and took out their weapons. Both sides waited, waiting for someone to make the first move. Finally after what seemed like an eternity of waiting some one made a move. It was one of the goblins he moved as far as he could toward his enemies, but he couldn't go far enough so no attack was made yet.

It was now Ramza's turn. Before Ramza moved though he whispered a hint in Brandol's ear, "Remember, try to invite the chocobo and when you do that also remember to speak loud and clear. Also be polite" Brandol nodded repeating the instructions to him word by word. Then Ramza moved as far as he could and threw a stone at one of the panthers.

After Kenshin, Joleen, and Marilyn, Brandol's turn finally came. He moved up as far as he could and checked to see whether or not the chocobo was close enough to talk to. Luckily it was so Brandol began:

"Good day Madame", Brandol began, "I see that you are a pretty strong chocobo, perfect for our troop you see.." When he was done he waited to see the results. The chocobo did not listen.

"Try again Bran!" Marilyn shouted. So when it was his turn he tried again:

"I guess you didn't hear me the first time, that's okay. Allow me to repeat myself. You're perfect for our troop and we can use someone like you.." But it still didn't work.

Yet thanks to encouraging words from his troop he tired again. And again. And again. And again. And again. And again. But it still didn't work.

By this time all the monsters were dead and Brandol lost all of his patience:

"Oh for Ajora's sake listen to me you stupid beast! If you value that bird brained head of yours you'd join our party so our idiotic leader won't have to worry about not have a strong troop! That way we can kick some Death Corpe's butt! Then we can get this whole problem over with and I can finally relax a little back home in my library with a spot of tea! But noooo you have to act like the stubborn oversized, yellow, fat hen you are and make things more difficult! Now join our troop or I'll go up and give you a kick so hard, you'll have a permanent shoe mark on that feathery bum of yours!"

Despite the fact that he used anything but manners, Brandol managed to successfully invite the chocobo to his party and the battle ended.

Everyone cheered and congratulated Brandol. Then they went over to the chocobo like young, eager, children at a pet zoo to take a good look at it. The chocobo liked all the attention. It didn't mind the petting or the baby talks that Marilyn and Joleen was giving it.

Ramza changed the plans a bit and they headed back to Gariland Magic City. Then they went to where soldiers were recruited to change the chocobo's name. After a lot of arguing over what its name should be they decided to name it Momo.

Joleen was the one who suggested it and she was the first to welcome it with open arms, "Welcome to you're new home Momo."

**************************************************** Wow! Third chapter already! That's not the end though! The real trouble's about to start! In case you were wondering 'Momo' means "peach" in Japanese. Don't forget to review! ^_^
