Chapter 3: Pet Issues
Vincent woke from his surpisingly sound sleep at around six thirty- ish the next morning. As he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a Tonberry, curled up to his chest. 'What in the world...?' thought Vincent. He moved to get up, but wherever he moved, the little green thing would keep snuggling up closer to him. "Umm...," he said to himself "Okaaay... how do I get out of this?"
Cloud walked past his room, still half asleep. The sight of a Tonberry waking him up, he ran to Cid and Sheras' room for help. "What on Gods' green earth do you WANT Cloud?" "Cid..." he panted "Vincent... Tonberry... Bedroom..." Cid looked at the spikey- haired man in confusion. "Shera," he said, turning to his wife "I'll be right back, 'Kay, sugar?" Shera nodded and turned back over on her side to go back to sleep.
Cloud hurriedly led Cid to Vincents' room. In the process of Cloud explaining to Cid what had happened, Vincent had managed to get out of the bed and get dressed, that little cuddle- bug of a Tonberry tagging along with him anywhere he went. Vincent met them at the door, the green squoosh behind him. "Can I help you?" He asked. Cloud, still dumbfounded that a tonberry would ever come that close to ANYTHING without stabbing it, only stuttered. "Uhhh," Cid began, "First thing's first, I guess... How'd that thing get here... and uhh.. WHY?"
Vincent only shrugged. "It must have come here sometime during the night... I don't really know... I was asleep." Cid stood there in shock. He'd never seen a Tonberry this close before. "So," he asked, "How long's this thang been followin' you around, Vince?" "Hmm... Probably since yesterday." Cloud suddenly remembered the random battle they had gotten into with the Tonberry. "Wow," He finally managed to spit out, "that thing must REALLY like you," he snickered "Dracula." Vincent rolled his eyes.
Now, not many people know this, but Tonberries aren't too different from dogs in their sense of... sensing. Tonberries CAN sense your feelings and emotions. This particular one, upon hearing Cloud call Vincent 'Dracula', sensed that Vincent was annoyed. At that point, it took out its' knife and came toward Cloud. Vincent looked down as it was walking (very slowly, mind you, this IS a Tonberry we're talking about) toward him and snatched the knife from its' hand.
As the hour passed, the three companions continued talking; that little Squooshball reaching up to grab its' knife back from Vincent the whole time.
