*gasp* Can it be?! YES! Chapter 10! Yeah, REALLY long non-posting for
me, I know, but I'm gonna try and stop that. Promise. Well, here it is. ^_^
Enjoy.
Chapter10- How to go about....
Mabey this wasn't one of the best ideas I've had. Making myself known to the public of the Garden home of my only friend? Oi...what hit me? Oh well, no going back now. I'm in their leaders office. I don't think he sees me yet though. Who would, I can bearly see him. I can just see his bald spot.
I tried clearing my throat to get him to look, but I didn't get a response. I tried again. Nothing. So, I decided to go for the direct approach. I waddled behind his desk and tugged on his pants leg. Instantly, he looked down and fell backwards, hitting the ground hard and screaming like a little tonling. "XU!" He screamed.
I put my finger to my mouth and tried to tell him I was a friend, but I couldn't get a word out before I was whacked upside the head by a woman. Heh, Mom always said I had a hard head. Now I can see she was right. I turned and looked at the human, brown hair and green eyes holding a big stick, long and smooth and covered in red paint with gold paint at the end of each tip.
"Ouch..." I mummbled to her.
She seemed surprised by it, because she gasped and dropped her stick. "It talked?" She looked down and then went over to the bald one and whispered a bit to him, beyond my hearing. After a few minutes of rubbing the lump on my head, the two finally walked over to me and squated down. The bald one spoke first. "Can you understand me?"
I knew that speaking more then one word at a time would overload their tiny minds, so I simply nodded. "Yes..."
His eyes went a bit wide, but so did his smile. "Do...you have a name, little fella?"
I told him. "Tom..."
The bald one chuckled a bit and stood, motioning me to come over to a small seat. I nodded and waddled over, pulling myself onto it and sitting down. "Does anyone else know you're here? Mabey the cadets or staff members?"
I thought about that for a minute and nodded. "Quistis..."
If anything, this surprised him more then me talking. "Ah...I see..." I didn't like the tone in his voice. I knew anger and disapointment when I heard it.
"Mad..." I said while shaking my head. "No..." I thought for a bit before trying to continue. "Quistis...friend...help...save..." Something came to mind, someway of me staying here Quistis and I had talked about one day out of bordem. I pointed to him and gave him the biggest, pleading eyes I could muster. "Mascot...?"
The bald one blinked a bit, about to say something before interupted by the one known as Xu. "Sir. I think he's asking if Garden has a mascot. Like sports teams and the like." She looked and me, giving a small smile, then back to him. "We have been discussing ways to disperse the extra revenue coming in. And this creature does seem smart, and looks as if he dosen't pose much of a threat."
I'm also humble and house broken. The blad one put his hand on his chin and looked as if he was in heavy thinking. At least that what I thought he was doing. He may have been holding in some kind of gas excreation, I'm not sure. Finally, he gave a small smile and looked down at me. "I've heard more absurd things. Ok. But since Quistis was the one who found him, she'll be given full responsablity for his care and actions." He stood and squated again in front of me. "Tom. Welcome to B. Garden. "
Yay! I was accepted! After I shook his hand, he began to talk to Xu about setting up an anouncement to the flying garden place thing. Oh I can't wait to meet everyone. Quistis will be so surprised when she gets back. I hope she can handle the shock.
Too short? Sorry if it is, but I gots to end the story there. It's late, and I must be up early tomorrow. ^_^ Merry Tonberry-mas. *gives everyone who reviews a Tonberry plushie*
