The Replica
Chapter 5
"Who's there?" Gwen stuttered, wiping her eyes. The Chocobo hopped onto the bed and curled itself on the blanket
"It's me." Came the distinctive voice of Zell Dintch. Gwen furrowed her left brow in puzzlement, why did Zell want to see her? She casually strode up to the door and opened it. There stood Zell, in his vest, baggy pants and two steaming hot dogs in his hands. Once inside, Gwen closed the door. Zell turned to her grinning.
"I saw what happened just a minute ago, here I brought this to cheer you up." He handed her a steaming hot dog....all dressed. She held it in her gloved hands *yes, she wears gloves too* and looked down at them. She looked up at Zell, who was still grinning ear to ear.
"Thanks." She uttered, she motioned Zell to sit on a chair next to her desk, which he gladly accepted, then bit into his hot dog. Gwen followed suite, the treat was delicious, but her face showed no emotion, she just remained quiet until she was done. Meanwhile the Chocobo had decided to roam the place and see if there was any food to satisfy his tummy. Little did it know that Gwen had saved some of the bun from the hot dog for it. It rummaged through her bag and in her closet, to no avail. Zell was eyeing this little creature a little suspiciously.
"Where did you get the Chocobo?" he asked, once it had finished rummaging through her stuff.
Gwen shrugged. "Have no clue, it just followed me around everywhere."
"Okay.
There was an awkward moment of silence between them. But not for long, because soon after some joyous screaming was heard from down the corridor.
"GGGGGGGWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNN!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !" Sophie screamed. Gwen and Zell sweat dropped. The door burst open and Sophie flew in.
"Guess what?" she panted, lacking breath.
"What?" Gwen responded in an annoyed tone, rolling her eyes slightly.
"Irvine asked me out!" she squealed.
"I thought he was going out with Selphie." Zell asked thoughtlfully.
"No way...if he asked me out!" Sophie said indignantly, staring at Zell in disgust. *She hated the tattoo on his face*
"WHAT??!?!?! IRVY HOW COULD YOU!?!?!" came the distinct shriek of Selphie. Another voice, Irvine's, was there too.
"No, no...it's not that." Irvine whimpered. "Here." He gave her something.
"OOO!! A model train and flowers!!! I love you Irvy!!" Selphie squeaked.
"Hey..." Sophie tapped her foot. The she shrugged. "Oh well, I guess I'll save my beauty for other hotties. Ciao." She turned on her glittery heel and walked out of the dorms.
"Slut." Gwen muttered, she never really like Sophie since she became miss Popular in grade five. Zell nodded, grinning.
The intercom rang over head. Cid's voice filled the room.
"All SeeD's please come see me in the 1F lobby, immediately, this is an emergency. "Cid signed off. Zell and Gwen exchanged a look of alarm.
"We better get going." Zell said, Gwen nodded. They ran out of the room, the Chocobo followed them. Gwen noticed and stopped for a moment.
"Leave little one, you'll get killed if you follow us." She hissed. The Chocobo ruffled it's feather, as if pouting and telling her it was coming and she couldn't change that. Gwen sighed. "Fine, if you're that desperate."
They continued their way down the corridor, until they finally reached the lobby. Squall awaited them, Rinoa at his side. At the sight of Gwen, Rinoa flushed crimson. She still felt bad about earlier. Squall regarded her arrival with a nod, considering he's her sensei.
Once everyone had assembled, Squall began his speech. "There's trouble in Timber. The G-army has attacked once again against the mayor. They're using nuclear weapons and more advanced technology. We, as SeeDs must purge them from Timber and return the peace. Please make groups of three or four." Squall finished, he beckoned Gwen to join him, Zell and Irvine. Rinoa joined Quistis, Ellone *yes, she's there too* and Selphie.
"The we're all set." Squall said, he looked down and noticed the Chocobo at Gwen's side. He looked up at her. "He's going to have to stay." The Chocobo ruffled its feathers again.
"Actually, I believe he's coming, he seems confident enough." Gwen retorted, running a hand through her chocolate brown hair.
Squall rolled his eyes, no use arguing, she's bound to have a bad temper. "Fine." The Chocobo could've leapt five feet into the air.
"Let's go..."
TBC... What's going to happen in Timber? Will they make it on time?
