Hey everyone. Ok I've read your reviews and I'm glad your all enjoying the story. I realized that because Yoli had a dark past she should be bitter, but I wanted a more realistic character, who can forgive. I wanted Yoli to be able to open up and be kind to people as well as bitter and sarcastic, like a real person. As for Isaac, it's not that he's dumb, or that he acts like a little kid because he has ADD. Its more because he wants to enjoy life and take things simple. Later on you'll all know why . Here's Yoli again with our disclaimer:

Yoli: Hey guys, Miiake still doesn't own square-enix, or chocobos. And she still wishes she does... Anyways, she only owns her original characters, and any names that sound familiar are just coincidence, except for Yoli, she pays for me ;

Miiake: Aww, shucks. Hehe, ok here's our story:


The trip to the Residential Area didn't take very long. About halfway there, Yoli finally managed to unlink her arm from Isaac. This trip was just starting and she already didn't like him very much.

After passing the entrance of the Residential Area, the duo made a few turns and entered a small house. Unlike most Mog Houses, where there is only one moogle, there were 3. The first room they entered had a closet, some vases, and a small fireplace. There were two doors on opposite sides of the room. Isaac chose the one to the left and entered.

"What a mess!" Yoli whined, as she saw an assortment of clothes on the floor. The room was divided by a hanging cloth, so Yoli couldn't even see the other part. Isaac walked over to a bunk bed and grabbed a travel bag from underneath.

"Hey, Yoli, what do people pack when they go to save the world?" He asked her.

"Hmm… This really is too difficult forrr you isn't it? A trip is a trrrip. Pack how you normally do when you go somewhere."

Isaac laughed a little. "Well, actually… This may surprise you, but… I've never left Jeuno before."

"What? B-but, you're a thief! A mastermind at tricks and tight places! You're supposed to know all sorrrts of shortcuts and hiding places! What happens when you need a special place to keep everything you steal? Don't tell me you keep it in herrre!"

Isaac looked at her for a moment. Then he broke out into a grin. "Did you just call me a mastermind?" He knew this would irk her. And it worked.

"Oh forget it! Just pack enough clothes for a week, and some weapons. Maybe brrring some food..." She sighed and glanced at Isaac. He was currently tearing through a drawer looking for something. "Ok… you know what?"

He glanced up at her and shook his head. "No, I don't know what. And pack enough for only a week? Aren't we gonna be gone a little longer?"

"People do wash their clothes ya know…" She frowned. "And my question was rrrhetorical. Anyway, just pack what you need so we can go already!"

"But don't I even get to say goodbye to my friends?" He whined.

"Ok fine!"

As if on cue, two figures walked into the room. One was a short boy with red hair and the other was a girl with brown hair in a braid. She stared at Yoli for a moment before turning to Isaac. "Isaac, who's she?"

The red haired boy chuckled. "Whoa, jealous much?"

The girl glared at him and he quickly changed the subject. "So uh, Isaac, you going somewhere?"

Isaac turned and answered him innocently. "I'm going on a trip to save the world. But don't worry! I'll be home soon!"

The girl raised her eyebrow. "Oh, ok then. Well, me and Ryan are gonna go look for treasure in the Temple of Uggalepih, but we'll be home soon too." She said this to show Isaac how ridiculous he sounded, but he was too busy deciding on which of two identical doublettes he should bring.

"Ok, good luck with that. Hey Lynn, which doublette should I pack?"

"Isaac, your not really serious are you?" Asked the red haired boy now known as Ryan. "I mean come on! Where'd you get the idea to go save the world? A story book?"

Lynn joined in. "Maybe he hit his head… again… Isaac do you wanna sit down?"

He stopped packing and looked up at them. "Aww, come on guys, I'm serious. Ask her! She got me dragged into this. I mean, there I was, mindin' my own business and then she comes… This really isn't my day."

Yoli cast him a glare. "Oh, so now he blames his stupidity on me!"

Lynn seemed to be thinking the same thing. "Hey, are you blaming her because you did something stupid again?"

"Of course not! Yoli, please explain. I would, but frankly, I gotta get packin' and I really don't feel like tellin' the story. After all, it was all your fault…" With that he turned around and began looking for strange items, probably just for the sake of filling his travel bag.

"Excuse me?" Yoli was shocked. So she dropped the sword. Did that harm anyone? No. He took the incarnation of evil and put it on the black-market. Did that hurt anyone? All of Vana'diel.

"Excused. Come on, get with the program Yoli!"

She only shook her head to this.


Finally, Isaac was done packing. He took a bunch of doublettes, a few bags of snacks, gil, and his newly acquired mythril dagger.

"Ok, what now?" He asked Yoli.

"We go get chocobos and move out." She had spent half the day with him and she was already exhausted, not to mention she had just finished the final test to become a dark knight. She didn't have the energy to come up with some sarcastic remark for him.

"H-hey, I got a better idea! Who needs a chocobo? Let's walk, burn off some carbs, right? Isn't that what you chicks are into these days any way?" Isaac said this and quickly looked at his feet.

Ryan chuckled. 'He's avoiding the subject." He pointed a playful finger at him, "Ain't that right Lynn?"

Lynn broke away from her musings and nodded, then went back to daydreaming.

"Isaac… Is therrre something you want to tell me? I'm really not in the mood for your games."

He gulped and looked at Yoli. "I… don't have a chocobo license."

"What? You can't be-…This is-… No, stop! Just stop! No more Isaac, no more! You never left Jeuno, you don't have a chocobo license, anything else I should know about!"

"Hmmm… Nope, that's all I can think of, but if I remember something, you'll be the first to know!" The worst part was that Isaac's facial expression was horrifyingly serious.

"Now what do we do? The trrrip will be impossible to make on foot while carrying all our items…" Yoli sighed and got up from her seat. She first sat when she realized Isaac wouldn't be leaving anytime soon. "I guess, we've got to wait until you get your chocobo license. Which could take months!"

Lynn walked over to Yoli. "And if you forgot, the Ducal Guards are in charge of those legal documents. And Isaac is a top-notch thief! Just like the rest of us, aside from you. That means they won't be willing to just hand us some sheets to fill out!"

"Face it, there's no way to get you two out of Jeuno on chocobo-back." Ryan added.

Isaac jumped up and slammed his fist into his hand. "Wrong! There's the hard way, meaning Yoli's way, or the easy way, meaning…"

Ryan's eyes grew wide. "You aren't gonna…"

Lynn shook her head. "Isaac, you aren't thinking of…"

Yoli couldn't help but smirk. The way they acted was something close to that of a character from a children's book.


"So, exactly what is Isaac thinking?" Yoli asked Ryan as the approached the Chocobo Stables.

"It's not something he likes talking about," he answered.

"Yeah… He tries not to do things this low unless he absolutely has to." Lynn said sadly, staring down at her feet.

Yoli felt confused. Why wouldn't they tell her what it was?

Isaac took a deep breath and went to the door. "Ok, you guys wait here, I'll be right back." With that he quickly walked inside.

Fifteen minutes later he walked outside, lifted up a piece of paper and grinned. "Got it!"


Miiake: Ok, thats it for now, Its pretty late, so I'll ahve to hold off writing the next chapter. See you all soon, please R&R. Thankies!
