Notes: Why is the Tourism Committee not freaky skeletons? Because they're from another world, so Port Royal's rules don't apply.


The Radiant Garden Tourism Committee

Chapter Ten: Land of Stone

Yuna started drooling every time she looked at the pile of treasure they had gathered. Silverware, doubloons… Oh, what wonderful finds…

From the cockpit of the gummi ship, the fairy could see various heartless ships pass by. In the distance, one could make out the Radiant Garden Tourism Committee's destination.

It looked so peaceful from here… Who would guess that a world of clouds was such a deadly place?

"Are we there yet?" Rikku whined.

"For the last time, NO!" Yuffie barked.

Paine, perched upon the control panel, groaned at the argument. "How many times is that, Yuna?"

"Four-hundred sixty-two and a half 'Are we there yet's."


Leon's mouth dropped slightly at the carnage that surrounded him. Blood drops splattered over the wall, sheets ripped to shreds. He could hear heavy panting, so he walked around the bed towards the sound.

Back propped up against the bed railing, Cid stared off into space. The engineer's clothing had been destroyed. Brown spots marked where the blond had bled.

Leon kneeled beside his friend, a comforting hand upon the elder's shoulder. "What happened to you? Did Tifa—"

Cid shook his head slightly. "Uh-uh… Ae…rith."

The brunet shook his head. "You should just stop talking." Leon rose and began his search for the first aid kit. "…… Every time you open your mouth, you get pummeled."

"#& you."

Cold blue eyes turned towards the speaker, icier than normal. "… That's what I'm talking about."


Yuffie giggled with joy. She had avoided crashing once more. "Go me, go me, go me…"

YuRiPa, in a single movement, all gave her 'death glares'.

"Go me, go me……… Okay, I'll stop now…"

Yuffie reached down to touch her toes. The ninja proceeded to sit on the ground and stretch towards one leg. "You guys have it easy… I'm stuck sitting the entire way. You guys can move around."

"Do you know how much energy it takes to fly?" Paine snapped.

"Well, next to none," Yuna mumbled. At her fairy friend's glare, the brunette added, "But, that doesn't mean its not hard work!"

The ninja moved towards the oversized stone doors. What is with everyone having giant doors anyway?

The newly repaired Olympus Coliseum is just beyond this courtyard… A large barking sounded, and all four girls turned to see a very large three-headed canine leaping over the stone walls.

The smaller doors opened to reveal a muscular red-head running towards the beast. "Get inside!"

"Don't have to tell us twice!"


Inside the alcove, Rikku found the space to be rather cramped. Besides Yuna, Paine, and Yuffie, a short man with goat legs and a tall woman in purple were cramped inside.

The goat-man spoke first, "Here to play some more games, Yuffie?"

"Not today, Phil."

A door opened to reveal Hercules, his body glowing. "What are you guys doing here anyway?"

The ninja flashed her sweetest smile. "Oh, we just wanted you guys to come visit Radiant Garden…"

The burly man lifted his hands and shook his entire body. "No-no-no… My fans would—"

The woman in a purple toga—Meg—swayed her hips as she walked towards the man. She placed her hands on his shoulders and leaned towards his ear. Rikku could not hear what was said, but the heavy blush across Hercules's face did not leave much to the imagination...


Yes, I am insane. But, I'd still like to hear what you guys/ gals think about this… Would you call it a plot?

That was so not funny. I beg forgiveness.
