IMPORTANT MEMO! There ARE moogles in the final fantasy 9 game that allow you to save and use tents before major battles or in the wild. I will NOT use any moogles like Stiltzkin or the random save moogles; HOWEVER later in the story I will use some because they are the bases of a later character. If you decide to play this game the moogles are EXTREMELY helpful, I just won't get into much detail about them.
Final Fantasy 9
Retexed By Mella
The young boy looked up into the bright sky as the wind blew fiercely against him, nearly knocking the yellow pointed hat off of his head. A giant airship with the reddest of bases flew over him as he watched in amazement. He looked down, returning from his trance and began to walk down road when he tripped over his feet. A little girl ran from a nearby store, her hair in the height of pigtails, and a small yellow dress covering her young body, "Are you awright?" she asked looking down on him. The boy nodded as she stood and the little girl ran to a small piece of paper on the road, "Here! You dwopped your ticket bye-bye." She said with a smile running away.
He stood straightening his had as children began to run past him. As he began to follow he felt something push against him…
"OWW!" a voice yelped as he turned seeing a little boy looking like some sort of rat sitting on the ground. "Why you- Get outta my way!" he growled running past and the young boy watched confused before continuing down the path.
"Honorable nobles of Treno, Castle Alexandria is this way!" A man yelled above the crowd of well dressed men and woman. He blew into his horn and the crowd followed him down the road. The boy watched quietly and once again began to walk.
Soon after he arrived to a ticket booth, his head barely able to make it over the counter. "Can I help you, son?" The old ticket master smiled down on him.
"Uh.. um.. What is showing today?"
"The Lindblum Tantalus group is showing 'I Want to Be You Canary' its the princess's favorite."
"Princess?"
"Yes, Queen Brahne's daughter. She is turning sixteen today, very attractive young girl."
"Is she really that pretty?" The boy asked shyly.
"Pretty? She's the most beautiful young woman in all of Alexandria!"
The boy nodded and handed him the ticket stuffed in his pocket.
"What's this? There is something odd about this ticket... Why it's another fake, I've seen so many today."
"Noooo!" The boy whined bowing his head.
"Now, now. Don't cry, I know how you must feel. Here, take these. Cheer up now, okay?" The old man bent over handing him a few trading cards and the boy nodded thankfully.
He sighed as he walked away seeing a familiar face run down a nearby alleyway, he decided to follow walking down the ally. As he did he tripped hearing a deep voice above him.
"Blast it!" An old man looked down on him, "Hey! You made me miss, you little klutz." He nailed a sign over the entrance of what looked like some sort of tavern. "Whew, that should do it. It's been a long day." He sighed climbing down the ladder and walked back toward the sun of Alexandria.
"Hey, you! Shrimp!" The rat boy called running up to him, "You're the one with the phony ticket, aint'cha? I saw the guy tell ya it was."
"Y-Yeah it fake."
"I'll let you see the show if you become my slave! Waddya say"
"A-Alright." The boy stuttered with a nod.
"Awesome! Let's go!" The rat kid smiled grabbing the ladder and running off.
"Over here!" The rat kid called as the boy turned the corner. He followed behind the short running boy, "Don't fall behind, and into the steeple." He ran into the church and the boy quickly ran behind. "Now we're going to climb up this tower! It's very dangerous... You go first."
The boy sighed with a nod and climbed up the ladder. The rat kid followed and jumped to a nearby roof, the boy followed, nearly falling as he did so. The rat kid quickly ran over to boards lying between roofs but the boy hesitated. "Come on! Lemme guess... you're afraid of heights, arnt'cha? It's okay just pretend you're on the ground."
The boy nodded walked over the planks.
"Come on already, we're running outta time!" They continued to run, coming to yet another wood bridge where the boy stopped. "Not again. Don't worry! It won't fall!"
He nodded and as he took a step in began to wobble and he quickly jumped to the next roof causing the other to laugh.
"Hahaha I guess it fell. No point in worrying now, right?" He said carelessly and the boy looked over his hat rim to glare at him. "Oh I almost forgot! I don't even know your name."
"It's Vivi." The boy said shyly.
"Vivi, huh? Funny name, I'm Puck pleased to meetcha." The rat kid said proudly. They continued running over bridges and planks till reaching the edge of a roof. "Whew we finally made it!" Puck smiled throwing the latter and climbing up it to the next roof, "After this wall, we'll be inside the castle! C'mon let's go!" Vivi nodded following behind. They jumped threw a window sneaking behind the chairs of the nobles to the sound of people clapping.
