"Come back here you #@$*&!" shouted Joleen to a young chocobo who was running around with her diary in its mouth. She watched in horror as she saw the pages which contained her most private thought and feelings fly out of that little black diary of hers. She chased after the chocobo but after a half an hour of nonstop running she started to give up when she heard a shout:

"IFRIT!" then the summoned beast of fire appeared and let its fury out to the young chocobo. The poor chocobo was knocked out.

As soon as she made sure that the coast was clear Joleen headed towards the knocked out body of the chocobo and got her diary out of its mouth. She turned to see Marilyn across from the hall way and waved. Joleen knew that she was the one who summoned Ifrit. She was going to thank her but then she realized that Marilyn was gone. "Oh well," she thought and walked around to find the loose pieces of paper that flew out.

Finally she was done.......or so she thought. When she flipped through her diary she realized she was still missing one page. That wasn't good. Especially since this page was a love poem about her secret crush that she wrote on Valentines Day. Joleen groaned, "It couldn't get any worse can it?" But it did.

As she was franticly searching she spotted from the corner of her eye a piece of paper lying on the floor from across the hall. Unfortunately someone else got to it first. It was her crush. The rest of what happened went like this:

Kenshin: *picks up poem* What's this?

Joleen: Oh no!

Kenshin: Oh, it looks like a poem....*starts to read*

Joleen (without thinking):*draws out sword*

Kenshin:*keeps reading*

Joleen (now berserk): YAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!

Kenshin:*doesn't notice.....and keeps reading*

CRACK! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Ugh....where am I?" groaned Kenshin.

"Hey everyone!" shouted Marilyn, "Kenny regained consciousness!"

"Stop calling me 'Kenny'....."

"Why?"

"Because ...." that was all he can say because just then Joleen burst in the room and shouted.

"KENSHIN!!!!" She ran towards him and flung her arms around him sobbing.

"Ger offa me Joleen." Said poor Kenshin as he was trying to push Joleen off of him, "It's not the first time I've been injured!"

"What was it that attacked you?" asked Marilyn.

"I don't remember."

"Well...what DO you remember?"

"I do remember reading a nice poem I found....."

Joleen was starting to get nervous.

"I also remember seeing Joleen," Kenshin recalled, "She had her sword out and was all red..."

Joleen instantly changed the subject "Oh um...Marilyn did you see those chocobos? Man they sure are running wild!"

Just then there was a crash outside the door. There was silence....then they heard a voice.

"Ow! WHATS YOUR (censored) PROBLEM! YOU STUPID BIRD!" The voice came from Tensberger as he was being attack by one of the loose chocobos. There was already a crowd of chocobos around the two. Marilyn found a chance to stop the chocobos.

"Don't worry Tens! I'll save you!!!!!" Marilyn got out her staff.....

Tensberger saw the staff and started to panic. "No Marilyn! DON'T save me! I'm fine! Trust me!" But it was too late.

"IFRIT!!!!!!" shouted Marilyn.

**************************************************************************** **********************************************

"Okay, as you know we can't keep all of you guys here right?" said Ramza

The chocobos nodded. Thanks to Marilyn the chocobos were too weak to run away after her attack. They were all captured and were now in the main hall standing in a line. Ready to be dismissed from the troop. Unfortunately, the main hall now started to reek of roast chocobo.

"We will have to dismiss most of you because we need more space or because 'some' of you have been too destructive....."

Tensberger moaned. Thanks to Marilyn he got third degree burns since he was in the attack range.

"I thought the summoned monsters weren't supposed to hurt the allies." Tensberger whined.

Algus, who was standing right next to Tensberger, smirked. "That is if the summoner can control the monster. Of course Marilyn just proved to us that she has no such ability."

"I HEARD THAT!" shouted Marilyn as she tired to whack Algus with her staff.

This ticked Ramza off, "Will you be quiet!?!" It was so hard to have a serious moment with this team.

"Ahem, as I was saying before I was *rudely* interrupted, we are all gathered around here to announce the results of our vote on which chocobo should stay and which should leave. The votes are anonymous. As you know there is a good chance that you may not stay here so just accept your dismissal calm and quietly." Then he started to read off a list of who should go.

"Rider..."

"Tena..."

"Marsipal..."

They say chocobos never sweat. Well they were wrong. Croaker was sweating so much there was a puddle around him. He didn't want to be called. How was he going to survive the harsh outside world? He was just a poor helpless chocobo that talked too much. What was wrong with talking too much? Huh? Huh?!?

"Andromeda..."

"Fauna..."

Croaker was starting to feel faint. His stomach felt like it was twisting in many different shapes. He knew that the next name was the last name to be called......the suspense was killing him.

"And........Croaker."
