Yeah. Everyone I mentioned, and to those I may have missed, this chapter is for you!

Chapter 6- Friends reunited and torn apart.

Man, did my head hurt. I had bucket men walk on me, odd monsters hit me, and on top of all that, I was suffering from cheese withdrawl! This was not a good day. Not a good day at all. After I picked myself up off the ground, I grabed my things and went further down the hall to see if I could find anyone else that needed my help. I walked. And walked. And walked. Then, for a change of pace, I skipped a bit, then went back to walking. Oi vey, this place is big. They need to make it more compact for those with stubby legs.

I looked down each hall way I passed to see if anyone was there. Boy, was there. Bucket men and alot of people in blue were fighting with swords and magic and a bunch of other stuff, but the bucket men were losing, so I figured I'd let them handle it. The smell of blood and death hung around in the air like a...a big...stinky smell.

...You think of something better!

Anyway, I continued to walk down the hall, avoiding the fights that were going on everywhere. Monsters were killing humans, humans killing monsters. I stopped to help any of the humans that were in blue, but sadly, I couldn't help some. It's hard watching someone you don't even know die right in front of you when you're trying to help them. I try not to think about it.

As I rounded the next corner, a whole bunch of bucket men were running at me! I dodged behind a plant and peeked out. Waite. They weren't running at me. They were running from something. Or rather someone. No. I think something was rather something, cause they were running from a bluish kind of beam of light. The weilder of such power came running after them, and I couldn't have been happier.

"Laser Eye!" I would know that voice anywhere on...whatever the name of this planet was called. I peekd out and looked up with a hopeful smile. She stopped and shot another of her beam things before even noticing me. "Tom!" Yes! Reunited with my frined at last! I jumped from the bush and clinged to her neck with a strong hug and she did the same with my rib cage. "Oh, I was worried about you."

"Same..." I told her as she set me down. I smiled again and looked up at her in joy. Her hair was messed up from it's usual bundle and she had a small cut on her head, probably from a monster or bucket man. "Hurt..." I told her, pointing to the cut.

She touched her head and looked at her hand, seeing a bit of blood on it. "Oh, it's nothing." True, but I was worried it might become infected. I waved my finger down and montioned for her to sit. I put my lantern between us and wave my hands around it. I was doing a cure spell, but I wanted to add a little flair to the usage. A small blue light surrounds her and the cut heals instantly. "Thanks." She said as she flashed me a smile. Hyne, I love it when she smiles.

I nodded and walked over to her, hugging her leg. "Missed..." I told her, hpoing she knew what I ment. After this is all over, I'm taking a speech class. I felt her pat my head and sigh. She seemed to be really worn out.

"I missed you, too. But what are you doing out here? I thought I told you to stay in my room when the fighting started." She didn't sound so much mad as she did glad for me being unharmed. I sat down and began to explain to, the best way I could, what had happened and why I was out of the room. It started with just sheer hunger, but then I kept finding people that needed my help, so I had to keep going. Any other Tonberry would have done the same, I'd like to think. "My. You have been through alot. But everything should be over over soon. Squall, Irvine and Rinoa are going after our enemy right now. They'll get the job done."

I nodded and stood, grabbing my lantern and turning to walk down the hall. After I didn't hear her following me, I looked back to see her still sitting there. "Coming...?" I asked her. More then likly, I'd need her help in a fight or healing someone. She nodded and stood, stretching a bit and following me. I'm glad she was back. With her, I felt as if nothing could go wrong.

It felt like we were walking in circles. I could swear I had seen that plant two other times this hour. I shrugged it off for a bit and continued to walk with my friend to see if there was anything we could do. We hadn't seen anything or anyone. It almost seemed as if the fighting had ended. "It sure is quiet." Quistis said, looking around.

"Too quiet..." I said as I spoke up. I always wanted to say that. I sighed and stopped, setting my lantern and kinife on the ground and sitting while I rubbed my feet. "Dogs barking..." I groaned. My feet really hurt. Damn my stubby feet and legs.

Quistis gave a sympathetic moan and sat down next to me, patting my head lightly. "I'm sorry. Here. We'll rest here for a bit." She pulled me into her lap and gently began to hum, rocking back and forth. It was so comfortable, I think I passed out in just a few seconds.
