It's been a while but again ive been writing in school So I only have a limited amount of time to write. I can write as much as I want in English but when Im in Math my teacher gets all pist, but point is there's another chapeter. I hope it's not corny, I mean it's my first fan fiction so you know. But I hope it's not, also its a VaanxPenelo and I dont own Final Fantasy but I really wish I did. Also theres a kid at school who knows Im writing this who wants me to write a VaanxBasch or VaanxLarsa. I say no way, and thats sick. Hes a creep anyway. Ok here it goes, and Im typing this to "One" by Metallica. Also I bought FFXII Revenant Wings for DS. Its really short, within an hour I was 15 through, good game though.
I also forgot to mention that Penelo is not an orphan, but her brothers still died.
Vaan awoke to the sound of crying, from the sound of it, it must have been a girl.
Vaan: Hey, who's there? Who's crying? What's going on?
Whoever was there heard his voice and started to calm down, but they were still sobbing until a familiar voice said something.
Voice: H-Hello? I-Is this Vaan?
Vaan could tell it was a girl but he still could not put his finger on who it was, or who he knows that sounded like that, or who would be here.
Voice: L-Let me turn on the lights.
The lights turned on and Penelo was standing there with tears in her eyes. She was wearing her pajamas which were a bright blue that matched her eyes.
Vaan: Penelo? What are you doing here so late? Why are you crying?
Penelo: My parents started to fight again, it even got physical, but it was really bad this time.
Vaan could sense her fear and lonliness.
Vaan: Well let's talk about it, come on sit down.
Penelo walked towards Vaan and sat down in front of him.
Penelo: Ok so my parents are alchoholics that constantly drink. They weren't always this way, not 'til my brothers were killed at Nalbina.
Vaan: Your brothers too? My brother Reks was killed there too, then the Empire took all of my things.
Penelo: I'm sorry, that almost happened to us, but my dad stopped the Imperials from taking everything.
But anyways, after my brothers died they both started drinking a lot and they got fired from their jobs.
So now I have to work for Migelo to feed us because they can't get a job. Then sometimes they fight when they're drunk, I hate it, but I love my parents.
Vaan: I'm sorry that happened, but we can stay here and talk. I've got nowhere to go.
He pulled on the ropes that held him to the shelf.
Penelo: Also I didn't mean to wake you up.
Vaan: It's ok, I'm always happy to have company, so whadya wanna talk about?
Penelo: Well, you could tell me the story about you meeting your friend, what was his name again?
Vaan: Kytes. Ok so we met about a year ago. I was really hungry, so I went looking through a dumpster.
I couldnt find anything that was edible, most everything was rotten or wrappers. After a couple of minutes I found a sandwich in a bag. It might not seem much to you, but to us orphans, it is a feast. Just as I was about to pull it out a kid jumped on me and shouted "This is MY DUMPSTER" He started to wrestle but-
Vaans stomach started to growl, really loud.
Vaan: Sorry, I'm really hungry.
Penelo: Well I could untie you and get you something to eat. But you can't run away.
Vaan: You'd trust me enough?
Penelo: I guess, besides, I can always catch you like last time, heh heh.
Vaan: Alright, I promise I wont try to run.
Penelo untied the ropes and offered Vaan some food, and he took everything she offered, bread, apples,
everything.
Vaan: Thanks, I'm REALLY hungry, no catch, right?
Penelo: No catch, it's a gift.
She smiled widely and acted all cute for him. He couldnt help but blush. She noticed.
After Vaan finished eating he continued his story.
Vaan: Ok so where was I? Yes, Kytes jumped on me. For a couple minutes it was anybodys battle, first the food was mine, then it was his. This went on for a while and punches and kicks were sent both ways, he even started to bite me. Anyway I just about got it when the dumpster opened up and all this food went on us. Best part it wasn't rotten. The man who dumped it on us said "Filty Orphans" closed the dumpster, and walked away.
We started to laugh. First we were fighting over a little slice of bread, and now there's all this edible food surrounding us. We started to eat and talk, and after a couple weeks we became best friends.
Penelo: That's a strange story.
Vaan: I know, but I didn't tell you the best part.
Penelo: What would that be?
Vaan: I got to keep the bread.
Penelo started laughing so hard that she started to lose her breath.
Vaan Thinking: No that's the best part, you laughed at my joke, even though it wasn't that funny. She must be falling for me.
Penelo Thinking: Good acting Penelo. Now you're making him feel good, and you gave him food. Now he should start falling for me.
Penelo After She Falsely Calmed Down: That was really funny, Kytes sounds a bit mean though.
Vaan: He is actually really nice. He said he lost control when we met because he was so hungry.
Penelo: Well I'd like to meet him.
Penelo smiled and looked at the clock.
Penelo: I should get going, maybe things have calmned down at home. I'll have to tie you up again, so Migelo doesn't get suspicious, understand?
Vaan: Yeah, I know, and also if there is still trouble and you want to go to bed, just think of something happy or something that you love. It should help you fall asleep easy. My brother Reks told me this one night when I had a nightmare. Never had a nightmare since.
Penelo: Ok, I'll try it.
She shut off the lights, walked up the stairs and opened the door. But before she shut it she stopped.
Penelo: Thanks for cheering me up, I'll see you tommorrow.
Vaan: Thanks for the food, yeah, see you tommorrow.
The door shut and all went quiet. That night both fell asleep without a worry.
Damn that took forever, but a lot of it is planning what to do next. Promise it'll turn out really nice, PROMISE.
Took me an hour to type, probably because I got distracted with the music, anyway hope you enjoyed it. Already started chapter 4, should be out soon. Positive Feedback Please.
