A/N: Chapter five, yo! Dang, this is getting crrraaazyyyy! This might even be
my longest chapter yet! It sure looks that way! Wow! How long… please read it all. I
will make others shorter, I just wanted to cram a lot into this one for the next. Anyway,
I decided that this chapter is going to get more serious, as Leon and Cloud, even Sephiroth,
take their chances with Ariel. Of course, Sora tries, too, but it seems he isn't trying
hard enough. Never mind, I'll save it all. Instead, this chapter is kind of funny. And
I will even let you vote! Read the A/N at the bottom, after the story when you are done.
I've just decided, too, for those of you wondering, that I'll switch off; action one chapter,
drama the next, humor... it will be random, okay? This is a humor chapter, but it is
required, since the next chapter will get more serious with a Summon Duel, between
two people! So read this first, or you won't get any of it! Review, too, please!
Thanks to all of my reviewers, too! (Hurkydoesntknow)

Chapter 5, "Lifeless Whisper"
Cid had finally sat down, and they all began to talk. In the
middle of the conversation, Yuffie said, awestruck, "You mean she
beat that big armor thingy?"
Leon nodded and replied, "It's called the Guard Armor, and
yes, she did. I still can't believe it."
"I don't think that's the issue here." Cloud pointed out. Cid
nodded his head in agreement. "It's even harder to believe Kairi would
go to such extreme measures to stop Ariel." Aerith added.
"And Sora, don't forget, he threw the butt of his keyblade
to stop Kairi. Which brings up the question if she is okay." Cloud
said, Yuffie snickering at the word 'butt' Cloud used. Everyone just
rolled their eyes.
"She is, though a little weakened. It looks as if now we'll
have to keep an eye out for Kairi." Aerith said. "What about Ariel?
Usin' that gunblade drained the hell out of her." Cid asked.
"She's okay, too, but a little tired. She'll be better tomorrow."
Aerith replied, and Leon added, "And Sora?"
Everyone just went silent. "I'm still not sure." Aerith finally
said. After knocking Kairi in the back, Sora was out of it. He just
ran away, everyone else in utter confusion. "He's got himself a
problem, and he's tryin' to figure it out is my guess." Cid suddenly
said. Everyone agreed and got up. The meeting was over, and they
had to check on the two girls. "I'll check Ariel!" everyone said, almost
in unison. "No, I wanna do it!" Yuffie complained, thinking of taking care
of Kairi. "Well, hell if I do it!" Cid said, folding his arms and lifting his head
side ways, as if trying to avoid everyone. Leon leaned against the wall and
said, "Forget it, I'm not going to."
Everyone now stared at Cloud and Aerith, who looked as if they
had eaten something extremely nasty. "Let's draw straws, okay?" Cloud
suggested, trying to pull himself out of the situation. After a few minutes
of arguing, everyone agreed to the drawing of the straws, except Yuffie,
who once more complained, "But I can't draw, except maybe stick figures!"
Aerith threw a pen at Yuffie and said, "No, not like that. Here."
Aerith now held out her hand, and eight wooden sticks were in her grip. "Who
ever gets the shortest takes care of Kairi. Who ever gets the longest ones,
which there are only two, will go and help Ariel."
"Why only two?" Leon asked as Aerith put her fist out, everyone
taking one of the wooden sticks. "Hey!" Cloud announced, "These
are mixing things for coffee! From Starbucks!"
Everyone but Aerith went, "Ooh, Starbucks!"
Instead, Aerith answered Leon's question. "Because Ariel is only tired,
that's why. She isn't injured." she responded. Opening her palm after
every stick was gone, she noticed she had a short one. 'Son of a-'
Aerith thought before trying to crack the tiny stick in half with her
hands. Cid looked at the tiny stick and said in a shaky voice, "Y'know
what? I think I'll find Sora!"
And with that, he jumped up and ran out of the small house in
the third district. Leon just grinned, noticing he had one of the longest
sticks out of the bunch. (wrong sounding, or just me?)
"Well, looks like I have a date to carry off." Leon said with a
smile, waving the stick back and forth. Yuffie frowned at Leon's
proudness. Then, looking at her stick, her face instantly lit up, like
a Starbucks coffee would after adding pounds and pounds of cream.
She quickly went behind Leon, jumped up and hung on his back.
"What are you doing? Get off!" he said, noticing the young ninja
pulling him down. "You and me, Squall!" was all she said, showing
Leon the long stick in her hand, almost poking his eye out with
it. "It's Leon!" he corrected her, trying to pry Yuffie's arms off his
shoulders and neck without hurting her.
"You're slipping, Leon. First a red-head, sixteen year old
mermaid masters a Overdrive that you couldn't. Then Yuffie is
taking over. You aren't even putting up a fight." Cloud said, smirking
at Leon. Leon was now angry at Cloud's 'hurtful' words, and he grabbed Yuffie
by the wrist, pulling the link apart. "Hey!" Yuffie said quickly, but
Leon just lifted her in the air behind him, then dropped her unexpectedly,
Yuffie falling with a thud.
Aerith blushed a little and grabbed Cloud by the shoulder of his
shirt, pulling him. "Come on." she muttered, hoping this wouldn't start
anything. Cloud straightened up and turned, now walking with Aerith.
"Whatever." was all Leon said. Yuffie was on the ground, stars hovering
over her head.
-----kweh! Second district Inn, The 'Red Room'----
Sora had been pacing back and forth now. "Are you sure your okay?"
he asked. Ariel just nodded and got up. Sora smiled and said, "Hey, you
can walk now."
Ariel just blushed and gently pushed the flow of apple red hair
off her shoulder. "Not really, I'm still trying. I can stand, though." Ariel
replied, hoping Sora wouldn't notice that her legs were beginning to wobble
a little bit. Luckily, he didn't. Sora resumed to walking around, and saw the
letter he wrote her. He quickly went for it and stuffed it in his jacket. Ariel
didn't notice because she was staring at the clock. "What time is it?" she
asked, unfamiliar with the time still. Sora looked at the clock, too, and told
her, "It's about ten thirty. Hey, it's morning, and I promised we'd go get some
coffee. Whaddya say?"
Ariel nodded, and asked, "Where can we go?" (sorry for the OOCness)
Sora thought, then he realized a great place, one that everyone loved. "Starbucks!"
he said cheerfully as he snapped his fingers. Both started to leave, until Leon came
in. "Leon!" Sora said in surprise. "Sora?" Leon asked, a little confused. So this
is where he was.
Sora blushed a little and looked around for an escape. Only the door
to the balcony would do, so Sora started to leave. "Running away, Sora? It's
fine, I just came to take care of Ariel." Leon said, holding back the all the laughter
inside of him. 'This is going to be delicious.' he thought, watching as Sora stopped
at the door and turned around.
"What!" Sora said in confusion. "I was assigned to see if Ariel is okay."
Leon replied to Sora's reaction.
"And she is, so you can leave now." Sora told him, now walking over by
Ariel, who was just watching Leon inch his way around. Then, when he got near
the table, he sat on it and said, "Listen, I got my duty. Have you even checked on
Kairi yet?"
Sora frowned at the name, and he turned his head away and looked at
the floor. "I'm sure she's fine. That one time she was running down the steps in
the Third District, she tripped and fell, then landed on a bunch of boxes."
"Boxes? How the hell do you land on boxes rolling downstairs?" asked
Leon. Sora shrugged and said, "Hey, she did it, not me. Besides, I fight alongside
a giant dog and a small duck, and I can summon a large, gay elephant with ears
the size of Manhattan. And that makes sense?"
"Elephant?" Ariel asked. Sora turned his head and said, "Yeah, wanna
see it?"
Ariel nodded, and they left, forgetting and leaving Leon. He just smiled
and said, "Whatever. I can summon a large lion, but you don't see me showing
off . . ."
Then the thought hit him. He would challenge Sora to a summon duel.
It would be simple, and he would obviously win. Simba, the lion that Leon was
able to summon, had never let him down before. After setting up how and when
he would attack, he left the room to go and grab the earthshine summon gem.
---Merlin's House, Third District---
Cloud quickly jumped out of the way as the jar came towards him.
It missed, and shattered upon the wall. Aerith took out her Sticky Notes
and a pen, and scribbled on it before ducking, 'Place Kairi in Safe place'.
"It would have been easier if that old man had come!" Cloud called,
dodging another jar. "Where's Sora!" Kairi screamed, looking for more jars
to throw. Instead, she found an alarm clock. She picked it up, saw Aerith,
and threw it. Aerith quickly ran over to Cloud and hid behind him, using the
cape (which is really stupid, Cloud doesn't wear capes!) as a shield. The
clock hit the wall and broke, springs and gears flying into random places.
"We don't know, okay? So stop it!" Cloud replied, tempted to pull
out his large, buster sword. Even Aerith was ready to pull out her metal
rod and start smacking Kairi, making her become a bruised piece of fruit.
Kairi kept on screaming orders and questions, until Cloud pulled out a summon
Gem. "Come out!" he called, the gem glowing. A small, metal toy came out, with
a wind-up key in it's back. Suddenly, the theme to, 'Godzilla' started to play, and
the two small red light bulbs in the toys eyes started to glow. They then began
to blink on and off, on and off, a small, static-like roar coming from inside the toy.
Cloud waited, then smacked his forehead. "Duh!" he said to himself, going over to
the toy and picking it up.
"Give me strength!" he said, winding the key in the toys back. The
small, tin lizard began to click and clank, making a buzzing sound, obviously
hinting that the gears were twisting inside. "Godzilla, go! Bad Breath!" Cloud
ordered, sticking out his chest and extending one arm outwards, the hand pointing
to Kairi, the other hand and arm behind him, in a fist. Kairi laughed and said, "Oh,
a tin toy! What's it gonna do, shoot lasers at me, melting my head and burning me
to a crisp?"
"If I wanted to do that, I would of summoned Ifrit." Cloud muttered. Now
the tin Godzilla toy had clicked, clanked, and buzzed its way up the bed. Kairi
kept on laughing, making fun of Godzilla. What a large, huge ass mistake. When Godzilla
opened up its mouth, a small dart with the feather at the end shot from it, hitting
Kairi smack right in the middle of her forehead. Her laugh became slow and
drunk, fading off. She fell back to sleep, but her head hit the headboard, making
a loud thud, as Yuffie did when Leon dropped her like it's hot. (stupid rap song)
Cloud ran and picked up the toy, trying to stuff it back into it's summon
Gem. "She's okay, let's go." Cloud said in a rushed tone. Aerith nodded, and
both left, running out of the old house. As soon as they did, Merlin came in.
"Princess?" he called. She didn't answer. "She must be worse than I thought.
I'll just wake her up, put some bandages on her, and let her be on her way."
----First District, Starbucks Café(where you blew out all the candles and
broke the chairs, and got the DEF-UP or whatever)
Sora and Ariel had finally gotten a table. When they sat down, both
ordered a mocha coffee, and waited for their orders. While waiting, they
just talked about different and random things. In the distance, coming from the
large doors in Third District, was Kairi. Around her waste she had a cloth bandage,
wrapped around multiple times. She was also licking a lollipop, since she was so
good for the treatment. At least Merlin thought so.
When she spotted Sora and Ariel, she instantly became enraged, biting
the lollipop instead of licking it, making it shatter into tiny shards of candy. She
started to stomp over to the café, thinking of a dramatic scene. One hit
her, one she had seen on television. Many women, when breaking up with men
or telling them off, usually got a wine glass full of Martini and an olive and splashed
it all over their faces. It was brilliant! And Kairi happened to have a bottle of Martini
with her, so she just needed to open it.
When she arrived, she announce in a high-pitched voice, "Sora, how could
you!"
Sora stared wide-eyed at Kairi, his thoughts racing. His naughty half thought,
'She's still alive?'
Sora looked around to see everyone staring, so he said to Kairi in a hushed
tone, "You're okay?"
Ariel looked away and stared at the ground, hoping to stay out of it all. Kairi
only responded, saying, "Sora, we are over!"
Then, out of her small little mind, she went for the Martini trick. But since
she was so mad, she just grabbed a man's coffee and threw it all over Sora's face.
He screamed in pain, his face wet and red, coffee and tears rolling down his face.
Sora fell to the floor and rolled back and forth on his sides. "It burns! Dear Yevon it
burns!"
Kairi just smiled and walked out of the café. Ariel dropped to her knees,
giving Sora a dry cloth from the table. He took it and wiped quickly, the burn still
stabbing at him. Luckily it was somewhat cooled down, so it wouldn't do anything
serious, just make his face red for awhile. Sora's eyes were watery and bloodshot,
his face now sticky from the sweet Mocha Foam with green tea. Out of no where,
Leon came, jumping from the top balcony onto the ground, quickly spinning and
pointing a finger at Sora. "Sora," he announced, "I challenge you to a duel!"
Leon got the Dark Magician- I mean Simba- ready. Sora's eyes still
hurt, so he pulled out a random summon gem known as the Firegleam, and
gave it to Ariel. "You . . . must take my place . . . I have hope and faith in you.
I have trained . . . you well." Sora whispered, giving the Gem to Ariel. She
had no idea what he was talking about, but she took it. "I guess I'm taking his
place?" she said, getting up while Sora ran to cleanse his eyes with many, many
Holy Waters, at the expensive cost of 300 munny per bottle. "Yevon loves me my
ass!" Sora cried, running to the item shop, only armed with 597 munny.
Leon smiled and said, "Good, then I guess I'm in luck."
Ariel just looked at the summon gem, then grabbed Sora's keyblade, which was
leaning against his chair, and got ready. The wind gently blew . . .
"Jeez, we might as well be a show on the freaking WB channel with all
this drama!" a lady in the back said.
----Behind the Accessory Shop, start of lies---
Kairi was walking slowly, the pain in her back still there. "Stupid pain."
Kairi muttered. One of the towns people, or a few, saw Kairi and asked, "Oh,
no! What happened?"
Kairi was about to say, "Ariel and Sora, that's who.", but she got
a wicked, nasty idea. Revenge . . . "I was talking with Sora, and I was going
to hug him, but this crazy girl threw a bar at my back! Luckily, the cops arrived
and busted her for assault and drug abuse!"
The few people gasped and said, "No, really? Who?"
Kairi held back her grin and said, "That new girl, Ariel . . ."
End of Chapter
A/N: Oh my FOOKING gosh! That was long! I think it was kind of funny.
Hey, I'm sorry for the OOCness, and the bad humor. I promise I will make the
next chapter serious. I was thinking of this, but I want Sephiroth to appear in
chapter 6, since it's such a evil number! Ha ha ha! Sorry for the Starbucks madness.
Anyway, Kairi's crazy, ya? Soo... I need YOUR help! I don't know if Simba or Mushu
should win! So review, and vote! Tell me who! If you don't, I'll choose, and you'll hate
me, and perhaps make mean reviews. Either way, I get reviews! Dances
So tell me who YOU want to win, and I'll tally 'em up. I'll wait until at least two
people vote, not including myself. See ya! -TrolleyBounce
Next Chapter: (Title unknown yet); Ariel and Leon duel their summons! Godzilla
is back! And when the rumors are over the whole town by night, and Ariel hears, guess
who comforts her? None other than the fooking One-Winged Angel! Sephie theme plays
STAY AND READ, YOU'LL LIKE THE SERIOUSNESS AND DRAMA!
(Sorry about the Godzilla summon, I know he's not Disney or FF. But hell, she/he kicks
ass! So yeah! And Ariel gets her/him! I'll just say her... grrr!)
