Yay! chapter 2! I would like to appologize for the length on this one and I promise that it does get better. Please leave comments and reviews. I like to keep everyone in character, but a little on the silly side, (exaggerating their personality traits)so let me know how I am doing. If you want to know who the strange old gezzers are, please read A Random Adventure.
Title: Random Bits 3 – Chapter 2
Setting: Yuna and her Guardians are on their way to Guadosalam for a celebration.
Mi'hen Highroad - New Road-South - After fixing the old men's wagon and catching Yuna's runaway chocobo, Spira's heroes have come upon a slight delay on the bridge. Kimahri, as usual is lagging behind.
"Oh dear." Yuna sighed, surveying the scene before her. Six chocobos and their riders lay in a tangle on the bridge effectively stopping traffic. A cart lay farther up the road on its side, rice spilling out. Several chocobos were already gorging themselves on the grain. One of them would explode later on that night, leaving only a scattering of feathers to mark its passing. Angry and impatient shouts filled the air as more people filled the area, but had nowhere to go. To top it off some idiot was climbing up on the rail of the bridge with a hastily written sign that read: 'Kweh if you love chocobos.' In short, it was a chocobo jam.
"Is that Clasko?" Rikku gasped incredulously. Auron shielded his eye and squinted. It sure was. A choir of 'Kwehs' rose above the din as chocoboists slapped their chocobo's heads in compliance with the sign. He rolled his eye as the 'kids' of the group laughed and slapped their chocobo's too. Wakka was included in the category of 'kid' for the same reason Lulu was included in the category of 'adult'. Although being the third oldest member of their group he had the mentality of well, Tidus.
"This is taking too long." Tidus whined to Yuna, as Kimahri came into sight, his chocobo on the verge of collapse
. "The Chocobo Knights are doing all they can." Lulu said reasonably.
"Just be patient."
Auron fixed Lulu with a sardonic sneer.
"That's like telling a starving dog not to eat." He turned back and fixed Tidus with a stern glare, making sure that he knew he wasn't to do anything. He could see the exact moment the message got across, because the blond blitzball player's face fell nearly to his chocobo's feet. But, Tidus was synonymous with Impatience. It was also synonymous with Defiance. It wasn't long before Defiance and Impatience conspired behind a bush and beat the tar out of Restraint and Obedience, then took off to get things moving.
Tidus eyed Kimahri and began slowly edging his chocobo backwards. Foresight told him that this was a really stupid idea and reminded him how messy Death by Ronso was, but Tidus wasn't listening. When he was in position, he grabbed the Ronso's tail and yanked. Kimahri roared, one hairy paw closing around the boy's fragile throat. Grinning like an idiot, Tidus screamed, "Chocobo Eater!" Kimahri blinked in surprise as the road cleared in moments, leaving a wasteland of dropped articles, feathers, and forlornly blowing papers.
"Wow!" Tidus said, still grinning as his friends looked around, their collective minds as barren as ground zero after a blast. Before Thought could evolve and repopulate their minds a geriatric chocobo belatedly lurched past at a terrified limp. She was followed by three old men jerking their stiff, knobby extremities along in a choir of pops, creaks and gastric gurgles.
"Don't just stand there lads, get the wagon!" Sputtered Old Man #1.
