Chapter 4: A whole lot of running and screaming…

Mona and Kris had continued standing on the grass terrain before the brunette's stomach growled.

"AAAUGH! I'M HUNGRY!" Mona yowled and clutched herself before falling over. "Starving…need food." She moaned as her eye twitched.

"Yes…I could tell you were going to since you were continuously beating the other contestants in the Sonic games and Pokemon battles without a lunch break in between." Kris responded before her stomach growled as well. Mona shot her friend a dark look.

"And you wouldn't stop beating the other players as Sephiroth for…let's see…six hours?" Mona asked as she sat up. Kris' left eye twitched before she too fell over and moaned. Mona paused before spotting a nest in the Chocobo herd and a very evil thought passed through her mind.

"Ah-ha…" She smirked. "Hey Kris…you want scrambled eggs?"

Kris sat up and spotted what Mona was looking at. She did a double take and her jaw twitched.

"Mona…you're not really suggesting that are you?" Kris asked nervously.

"I am..." Mona grinned with an evil grinch look.

"But-but those are Chocobo we're talking about!"

"Very plump ones indeed..."

"I won't do it! You can't make me do it!"

"Here's an idea…listen to your stomach for once…" Mona said for the blonde's stomach to suddenly gurgle right on cue. "I think it said 'come and get it'…correct?"

Kris nodded intently before the two began to sneak into the confines of the Chocobo herd. They both had gotten within grabbing distance of a nest before pausing.

Mona kept alert despite the complaining of her stomach.

"Okay Kris…" Mona whispered. "We have to be very…very careful not to be spotted by the Chocobo…okay?"

Silence…

Mona paused before turning to see that Kristen was missing from her spot next to her.

"Kris?" Mona suddenly had that ominous feeling creep over her as she saw a familiar shadow over her. "Oh…no…"

"BANZAI!" Kris screamed as she pounced onto the nest. All the Chocobo immediately spotted both girls causing Mona to gain a stone anime face. She did not like the way they were glaring at them.

"Kris…put the nest down…" Mona said with clenched teeth.

"CHOCOBO EGGIES ARE TASTY!" Kris grinned causing Mona to smack her hand right in the middle of her face.

"We're dead…" She moaned before grabbing Kris by the collar and a random Chocobo egg and running for it as the Chocobo gave chase. "Why did I tell you to listen to your stomach!" Mona shouted as she ran down a hill. Kris suddenly snapped back to reality.

"Mona what are you do- IS THAT A CHOCOBO STAMPEDE!" Kris shrieked after refocusing her glasses.

"I suppose we've learned something!" Mona yelled.

"What are you talking about!" Kris yelled back.

"Never tell a Chocobo that its egg is delicious!" Mona responded.

Kris was still being dragged as she clutched the Chocobo egg with a stunned look. "Did I really say that?"

"Sure did…"

So after a few hours what the duo did to escape the stampede was run…and run…and run…and run…and run a lot more after that before Mona spotted something in the distance.

"Quick! UP THE TREE!" She yelled before the two scrambled up to the highest branch in time for the Chocobo to stampede past and race into the jungle/forest behind them. "Oh…thank god…" Mona gasped.

"OOOOOOOH COCONUTS!" Kris grinned before plucking one of them off a branch above them. A huge rumbling was heard before a whole mountain of coconuts crashed on top of Mona.

"KRIS!" Mona yelled from the inside of the huge pile before pulling herself out, becoming more and more tired. "Oh forget it…" She moaned before sitting back down on the tree branch.

Well, Mona and Kris were too scared at the thought of the Chocobo being down there and decided to spend their first night in the tree. Technically it was their first night up a tree… For Kris it was a matter of keeping herself balanced as she clutched the Chocobo egg. For Mona, on a different matter, it was her trying to plug her ears at Kris' loud snoring AND keep balanced.

"SSSSSSSSSSNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRKKKKK!"

(Imperfection: Sorry…)

(QOTSF: glaring at Imperfection)

Mona kept both hands clamped over her ears. One eye was wide and twitching while the other was closed shut giving her a rather humorous imitation of an Invader Zim character. She suddenly felt a sudden wetness on her arm before sniffing it.

Drool…

"Ugh…gross!" Mona grimaced before backing up away from her friend's sleeping form, not realizing the branch was getting thinner and thinner as she went. A sudden crack later and Mona had fallen onto the forest floor.

"YAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Mona zipped up to the topmost portion of the tree and gasped before realizing no Chocobo was present at that point. Issuing a sigh of relief she cautiously got back to Kris and started poking at her. "Kris! Wake up!"

What she didn't know was that Kris was having a nightmare about that "Sesame Street Elephant"………thing…

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kris bolted upright and in her panicked state she brought the Chocobo egg straight down on Mona's head, knocking the brunette out of the tree. Kris' eye twitched as she looked at her friend fall down screaming. "Oops…"

Down below, Sephiroth was sulking through the forest.

"Terrific…there's a huge hole in the ozone, there's overpopulation, and I know something even worse is going to happen to me!" He grumbled.

"…aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!"

Sephiroth looked up suddenly to see Mona falling towards him.

"I hate it when I'm right…" He groaned before...

CRASH!

Mona got up in a dazed manner.

"Ow…I didn't know Chocobo eggs were really that hard…" She groaned before crashing back down on top of Sephiroth who started groaning painfully.

Worried about her friend, Kris hurriedly climbed down the tree with the Chocobo Egg in her grasp.

"Mona! Are you oka-…?" Upon seeing Sephiroth, Kris's jaw hung loose and drool seemed to seep from it. "Se-se-se-sephi-se…"

Sephiroth shoved Mona off and stood up painfully.

"Ow…what else can go wrong!" He moaned before seeing Kris staring at him and drooling. "Uh…hi?"

"SEPHIROTH!" Kris squealed, going into Hyper Mad-Fangirl Mode and racing at the silver haired bishounen.

"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Sephiroth ran off as Kris chased him around, knocking down a few dozen trees in the forest as they went. "I KNEW SOMETHING WORSE WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!"

"MY BISHIE!" Kris continued squealing.

Meanwhile, Mona had recovered from her daze and was back on her feet.

"Ow…did anyone get the license plate on that dump truck?" She groaned before hearing the sounds of Sephiroth's yelling and Kristen's fangirly squealing. "This is going to be a long day…" She muttered before picking up the dropped Chocobo Egg and walking casually where Kris had cornered Sephiroth up a tree.

TBC…

Imperfection07: Well…that's the fourth chapter…

Sephiroth: YAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Get her away from me!

Imperfection07: Get who away? (Immediately spots Sephiroth up a tree with QOTSF at the bottom)

Queen of the Sacred Flames: Oh Sephiroth!

Imperfection07: (Hits head on keyboard) Good god…
