Chapter 7. Sorry for such a long delay. My life totally sucks at the
moment. Hitomichu has been taken offline and life is just falling apart.
But still, I continue to write! For you, the people! You know you love me
for it. ^^ Well, here it is. Enjoy.
Chapter 7- Are we there yet?
The flight would take several more hours before Esthar came into veiw and everyone had used up what little entertainment they had brought. Quistis, for once, had finished all the papers that needed grading and now slept soundly in her seat. Zell looked as if he had died of boredem the way his head hung over the arm rest, his eyes rolling back into his skull and his tongue hanging out of his mouth.
Irvine went below to get some sleep, so he said. The 'Girl Next Door' in his back pocket did not make his statement all too beliveable. Selphie was still as bouncy as ever to be flying the Esthar flag ship and simply smiled and hummed all the while. "Gonna fly. Gonna go. Where we be? Only I know!" She sang suddenly, tossing her arms in the air.
Squall and Fujin had gone to the widest area of the ship to train for any upcoming monster fights in Esthar. The monsters were slowly but surely being removed from the lower levels of the city, but they didn't want to take any chances. Of course, they were training for two hours stright before they decided to take a break and now leaned against a wall, sitting quietly with Fujin in Squalls lap with his arms wrapped around her waiste. "bored..." She mummered and shifted his lap.
"Yeah. Me too." He said sleeply.
"need something..."
"There isn't anything."
" twenty questions?" She asked in hopes of releaving her bordem.
"Did it."
" I spy?"
"Only metal and screws." He sighed, leaning further back on the wall.
Fujin sighed. She knew she would have a lack of entertainment on this trip, but she was ready to tear her hair out from this much lack. A small rumble came from her stomach and she sighed again. Standing and gently remvoing Squall's hands from her waist, she went into the back room to get a small snack, at least to hold her over until they could get to a resturant in Esthar. // I'd kill for a cheese burger right now.// She thought. After doing some digging in one of the crates that had to be put in the area they were in, she found a bag of carmel pop corn and smiled. She loved carmel.
As she came out, she could see Squall had fallen asleep in his sitting position. Conviently, his mouth hung open and she looked to her bag of carmel pop corn. // Ten points if I get it in his mouth.// She thought. With a small smile, she reached in and quickly tossed one of the carmel goodies at him. It bounced off his nose and landed on the floor. //Damn.//
Squall shifted a bit and rubbed his nose, then stopped moving all together. This action had caused Fujin to freeze in place for a bit, but when she saw he was fast asleep again, she tried again. This one made it and she smiled triumphitly. // Ringer!//
The carmel covered pop corn peice stayed on his tongue for a bit before he inhaled heavily, sucking it into his throat and causing him to choke himself awake. He looked around to see what had tried to kill him in his sleep, but only found Fujin in his arms. Yawning, he leaned back against the wall, closing his eyes and allowed sleep to to over take him again. Fujin opened her eye and looked at him, breathing a sigh of content that she wasn't caught for her action. //Still ten points.// She chuckled to herself as she munched on her snack.

"Are we there yet?" Zell whined, shifting his body until his feet dangled over the back of the seat and his head hanging upside down.
Selphie sighed. "Have we landed yet? No! Now quit asking!" She all but barked and turned to him.
"Selph?" Zell asked.
"What!?"
"Bird." He said, pointing behind her.
Selphie turned around, only in time to see a large white bird smack into the window. She shreaked and grabbed the controls out of instinct and turned a hard right. Zell fell out of his seat with a yell and hit the floor with a hard thud.
Quistis too was thrown from her seat and yelled when she woke up. "What the hell!?" She asked as she looked around.
"I hit a bird!" Selphie whined, covering her face and begining to cry while Zell clutched his sides in a mad fit of laughter.
Squall, Fujin and Irvine came up on the platform and looked around. "Selphie, what happened? Why'd you make the ship turn like that?" Irvine asked as he ran over to her and put his arms around her.
Selphie sniffed and pointed to the window, now smeared with bird. "I hit a bird!" She wailed, burying her face on his chest.
This sitution was funny even to Squall and Fujin who were showing signs of begining to break down laughing. "Man, that sucker splat!" Zell yelled before laughing again.
Everyone broke down then and gave into to the amusing sitution. Everyone laughed for a good while, but Selphie did not. "You're all horrible! I killed a bird in cold blood! I'm a murderer!" She cryed, tears streaming down her face.
Squall waved his hands, chuckling and whiping a stray tear of amusment from his eye. "No, Selphie. It was an accident. It could have happened to anyone." He chuckled and turned, hiding the smile from her. "Besides, I'm sure he didn't feel a thing..." His attempts to cease his laughter failed as all the pent up ammusement flowed from his mouth in the sound of a loud but hardy laugh.
Everyone at that point was now bent over laughing, either clutching their sides or leaning against a wall to keep from falling over. Even Selphie now was showing signs of giddyness but before she could begin her laughing, the radio buzzed. "Ragnarok 1. This is Esthar Air Base. Do you copy? Over."
Selphie quieted everyone down and grabbed the radio. "This is Ragnarok 1. We read you, Air Base. Request permission to land. Over."
A long silence passes berofe the radio buzzes again. "Permission granted. Be advised, though. The presidents new rare giant cockatoo escaped earlier today. If you see it, try and catch it. Laguna is having a fit. Over and out."
Everyones eyes go wide as they look to Selphie. "What?" She shrugs her shoulder. "What?"
********
And end there. Good job, if I do say so myself. ^_^ Has anyone else donw that? Huh? I don't think so! Only my twisted mind could come up with something like that! XD And now for the segment, "Word of the ton." We take you live to my mean, green, cheese loving machine pal, Tonberry!
*applause and cheering.*
Tonberry: *adjusts microphone; clears throat* A friend helps you. A good friend helps you move a body.
There you have it. Another inspiring word from Tonberry. Tune in next time for more. Same Tonberry time. Same Tonberry network!
