As of now I will be having longer periods of updating, so please be patient with me. =3
Anyways, I would love it - and it would help me so much - if you would kindly put suggestions on what kind of subject the chapter after this one should be. You know like daily life since this is kind of like a slice of life fic. Reviews of any kind are welcome. =3
"Bonjour Monsieur Leonhart. Vwould you like me to show you and your friends ze way to your table?", asked Frenchie.
She lived up to her name.
Squall was talking to her, and it seemed that he didn't have to since his friends had already chosen a table of their own choice.
"Um, no thanks. We'll be using the Gazer if you don't mind", he said as he scratched the back of his head.
Geez, even Rinoa of all people went with them. (sigh)
"Okay, zen zat will be all", she replied warmly.
"Than-, uh, Merci beaucoup", Squall said while bowing his head slightly.
Earning a nod from Frenchie, he made his way to the third floor - yes this is a three storey restaurant French slash Japanese restaurant - and found 11 culprits.
"Hey Squall! Finally, what took ya so long?", shouted Tidus.
He lived up to his name too, well, reputation in this case.
"Nothing", mumbled Squall, "Just asking for permission to use the Gazer."
"It's pretty up her isn't it?", said Yuna, "I love it here. It makes you feel like your closer to the moon and the stars, and that you could just reach out-", she extended her hand and pretended to grab one then pulled it to her chest, "-and grab a star for yourself."
This made Tidus blush, and she lives up to her name as well.
"Well, enough star catching", interrupted Lightning, "I need some chow."
"Uh-huh!", piped up Yuffie.
She lives up to her name slash reputation.
"Well then", chorused Aerith and Tifa, followed by a chuckle from Cloud, "Let's order already. We're starving."
"Ah", sighed Zack, "What a mouthful."
Aerith chuckled.
"You betcha, boy, I don't even know how many servings I had", added Tidus, "What about you Noct? Did you even eat?"
"Yeah, I did", he replied with a dark aura around him.
"Yeesh", said Rinoa as she rubbed her arms, "Sure is cold out here."
Some of that cold wind must've come from Noctis.
Wrapping his arms around her, Squall put his fingers to his lips telling everyone to be quiet. He then looked up at the dark-blue sky and the others follwed. A gasp escaped each and every one of them, including Vincent.
There above them was a vast blue sky, without clouds and full of glimmering stars. A whole body of them were arranged in such a way that one would say it was a "river" of stars, all twinkling and glowing as if saying "I'm the best!" or "I'm the brightest!"
"How pretty!", exclaimed Yuffie as she leapt onto Vincen't back to get a closer view of the, er, River Stars.
"It's very pretty", said Yuna, "One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Don't you think Tidus?"
Tidus shook his head, "You're the prettiest thing I have ever seen in my life."
Yuna blushed bright red, and everyone burst into either a fit of giggles, groans, or just displayed a look of annoyance. Especially Squall.
"Will ya look at the time", piped up Lightning, "Already ten-thirty p.m."
"Woah, that's late", Aerith said, quite concerned about the following day's test exam.
"Yeah, and we got a test exam tomorrow", said Squall as if he had just read Aerith's mind, "We should be heading back."
Everyone nodded their heads, and Squall acknowledged Vincent's grunt as a yes.
"Yokai!"
He came to a screeching halt, with his other two "brothers" behind him. Taking the key off the ignition, he clambered of his Motorbike and removed his helmet, letting loose silver shoulder length hair that was previously enclosed.
The other two did the same, but one had longer hair and the other had short hair that, at the back, made a bit of a spike.
"So here we are", the one with the longer hair stated.
"Hm, seems alright. So Kadaj, this is where we'll be crashing?", asked the short-haired one.
"Yeah, this is the place Loz", Kadaj replied. He then turned his head to the other "brother", "Yazoo, can you take care of the bikes?"
Yazoo nodded, "What about Loz?"
"He's with me."
"What we gonna do Kadaj?", asked Loz.
Kadaj turned to his brother, and smiled, "We're gonna find our big brother."
"Erm, how about D for number six and E for number 2. No wait, E for three."
Cloud, who had just come into the FFVII common room, looked around and saw Tifa - and only Tifa - sitting Indian style with a newspaper in one hand and a pencil in the other.
"I don't really know Teef, gonna have to figure that one out for yourself. I'm woozy," he yawned.
Tifa looked up and imitated Cloud's famous I-can't-be-bothered-to-do-anything-or-listen-to-anyone-right-now-because-I'm-tired yawn. It was simple really, just sit down on a chair with your elbows on your thighs, your hands touching each other and your neck arched back. Simple.
"Alright then. I'm tired too, but I really want to do this. Besides it's only eight thirty one p.m."
Cloud looked at her with eyes that said EXACTLY.
"EXACTLY!", he moaned. See? What'd I tell ya?, "PLUS, it's Monday tomorrow."
And with that he slumped into his chair, it was a wooden one so he would have a bad back later on in twenty or thirty years.*
"Ooooooooooookaaaaaaaaaaaay", Tifa replied cheekily, copying Cloud's posture on the couch.
Cloud, clearly annoyed, sat up straight and patted his lap. With and excited face, Tifa stood up and walked over to Cloud. She sat on his lap just as he has motioned for her to do, but to his disappointment, she pulled out the newspaper with the, and I quote, "word thingy" on it and a sharpened pencil.
Tifa grinned an evilly, "Let's finish this shall we?"
Okay, weird ending? Not weird ending? No comment? Nazi style? hahaha JKJKJK. Rowling.
Anywhos, please review, and as I said earlier at the beggining please also leave a suggestion of what next. Now here's a few facts:
The time when I wrote this - until the thingy above the word "years" after "thirty" - was really 8:31 pm. We had just come back from someone's house and yeah, I got a bit of time to do some work on it. And I must say I did quite a lot for such short time, I started - when I came back home - with Kadaj and co. till the thing above the "years." Good no? Anywhos, the puzzle was also real. In fact it was so hard, it's one of those where you have to figure out which letter is which number. So our starter was the "K" was number eighteen, and we had to crack the rest by trying out words and stuff. Anywhos I'm rambling XD And using a lot of anywhos...anyWAYS special thanks again to those who reviewed. Please be patient with the times and if I can I may have some sidestories about the main chars friends such as Cid, Riku etc.
Btw is "evilly" even a word?
