Chapter 8: Help me to get through this

_

"Walking" "Walking" "Walking" I'm sick of walking! Zidane said to share his misery with the rest of the group.

Aww, it must be hard walking up the mountain with those short little legs. Tidus teased his friend while petting the younger blond.

That's unfair! In my world everyone is this length, you guys are just way too tall! Zidane said while he speeded up his walking. And I'm way better at walking on a ridiculously large mountain than you guys! He said as he took the lead. The other three just smirked and chuckled at their young friend.

They have been walking the large mountain for hours now, and how higher they got , how more nervous they got too. Was the warrior already waiting for one of them? And were the traps really that dangerous like the old woman said? Did the woman even said the truth? They were about to find out when the reacted the port of the ruined city.

A port? Why is it closed? Tidus wondered.

More importantly, how does it open? Cloud said while examining the big port made of stones.

Maybe by saying, sesame open up? Zidane joked.

There has to be a trigger somewhere..Squall said while placing his hand on the port. He stopped when he felt a rare stone under his hand. What's this? He thought, there were weird patterns on it. When he pushed it they felt the ground move.

What the? Tidus said being startled.

Huh? AHHHHH! They all screamed when the floor underneath them disappeared and as they fell through a large hole. They landed on a large slide who led them lower and lower. They glided to left and then to the right. They all held each other extremely tight while they prayed not to fall off. Tidus had a firm grip on Zidane's tail while Zidane didn't let Cloud spiky hair go, and Cloud taken hold on Squall's waist. When they thought that they couldn't go any lower , the slide stopped and they all fell on each other.

Well this sure brings back memories..Cloud said while thinking back when they first met. Then he offered Squall a hand to help him up.

Sure does, but I'm just glad we survived that trip we just made. Tidus said while getting off Zidane.

But where are we? Squall said while he looked around the room. The room was full of human statius, and in front of them was a weird pattern on the floor with after that a big door.

Maybe this is one of the puzzles the old woman told us about? Cloud said to his companions.

Better be careful then. Maybe we should throw something on it. Zidane said.

We could try..Squall said as he picked up a little stone of the floor and threw it on the weird pattern. Then they saw that the tile where the rock landed on disappeared .

Well that isn't an option. Squall said while he putted his hands on his sides.

Look there something written here! Tidus said to them as he pointed to the ground.

"Who is clever enough to solve this puzzle? Who really knows the people that he travels with? Who is the most caring, protecting, responsible of your company? Look what's written on each tile, then you might get to the other side where the great door is waiting."

Wow now that's very helpful…Tidus said sarcastic.

Let's look what's written on the tile's. Cloud said while looking at the patron floor. "Friendly" "Caring" "Protecting' "Responsible" "Emotion" "Best" Those were the only tiles with words on them.

Maybe the person who's the most friendly of us should stand on the tile who says "Friendly" and so on. Squall suggested.

Oh and if not we will just fall into nothingland. Tidus said, not being so sure about the plan.

We have to try something Tidus. Squall said with a hand on Tidus his shoulder to calm his emotional friend down.

Fine.. So who's the most friendly? Tidus asked. They all looked at poor Tidus himself.

What? Me?! Normally I would be honored but I don't think I'm the most friendly of us, no in fact I'm quite an ass sometimes! Tidus said to them trying to find his way out of this.

We're sorry Tidus but I'm afraid that you are the friendliest of us. Cloud said feeling quite sorry for his friend, but it had to be done.

It will be alright Tidus, you won't fall. Zidane said while taking Tidus his hand. I'm sure of it. He said with a big smile on his face trying to encourage his friend, even though he was so scared himself that his friend would get hurt.

Okay fine, but if I die you guys are gonna pay for my funeral! Tidus said as he walked over to the tile. Then he gently lifted his foot up and let it make contact with the tile before he fully would stand on it. When he stood on it, the tile began to give light.

Hey I'm still alive! Tidus said happily. Guess I am the friendliest! He said being cocky.

His friends were all relieved that Tidus was still standing there but wondered why there wasn't a tile with "Cockiest" on it.

Okay good job Tidus! Can you see what's on the next tile? Cloud asked him so they could continue.

Uh let's see, it says "Caring" Tidus answered.

Okay, the most caring of us..Squall thought to himself.

It's Zidane. Cloud said.

Me? Zidane asked while wondering why the hell they picked him.

Remember when Tidus fell of the stairs back in Garnia? I never seen somebody so worried in all my life. And you almost killed the barkeep when he said that he didn't have any bandages while he just didn't wanted to use them on Tidus. Plus you always clime in trees to free my hair when they got stuck again. Cloud said to Zidane while being thankful that his hair was still intact.

That's right and you always help me finding food when were camping right? Squall said while looking at Zidane.

That's right.. I guess I really are the most caring huh? Zidane said while feeling kind of proud of himself.

Course you are! Tidus said . But could you guys please hurry up, cause it's not comfortable here!

Alright alright, I'm coming already, don't piss in your pants yet. Zidane said while walking towards Tidus.

But how do I get past Tidus? The tile with" Caring" on it, is behind him. Zidane asked.

You can't stand on his tile, who knows what happens then. Squall said.

Maybe Tidus should lift Zidane on the tile. Cloud suggested.

What?! So I have to lift all you guys! Great I just know I'm going to have back problems later. Tidus said while being quite irritated with the whole situation here.

Shut up and lift me Tidus! Zidane snapped not being so caring at the moment. So Tidus did what he was told and grabbed the little fellow and gently putted him down on the tile.

Okay seems like everything's fine till now! Next is "Protecting" Zidane said to his friends who were still on the other side.

I'm guessing Cloud. Squall said. While getting a surprised look from Cloud.

Cloud is kind of the big brother of the group, so I think it's Cloud. Squall continued.

I don't know Squall. Cloud hesitated. Then he felt two hands on his lower neck.

You kind of protected me from Firion right? Squall said while caressing his neck.

Cloud thought he was going to faint, he'd never thought something so simple could feel so great. But he knew this wasn't the perfect time to admire Squall's handwork.

Right, I did protect you from that creep. Cloud said as he walked over to Tidus, who had a little more trouble lifting him than Zidane. Then he was put into Zidane's arms, he felt sorry for the little guy who fought to keep his balance before he dropped Cloud on his tile.

Now "responsible". Cloud said and knew that it was Squall's turn.

That's easy, Squall! Tidus said while looking at the gunblader. You are always the responsible leader.

Right. Squall thought as he was picked up by Tidus and being passed over to Cloud by Zidane. Cloud took Squall from Zidane in bridal style. And he thought that having Squall in his arms like this was great, he only wished it that it was in different circumstances. Although Squall had also enjoyed being close with his chocobo, he was glad when he reached the floor. He was still Squall Leonheart of course.

Okay it's "Emotion's "turn. Squall said to his comrades.

That's Tidus! He's the crybaby. Zidane said as he already threw Tidus over his shoulder. When that happened the tile "Friendly" disappeared. Ahh! Don't you dare to let me go now monkey boy! Tidus yelled as he pulled at Zidane's hair. Urgh if you don't stop that I will! Zidane answered while he felt his hair being pulled out of his head. Unlucky for Cloud and Squall they felt the same pain.

Ground! Tidus said as he kissed the tile, when he finally reached it.

Okay Tidus what's next? Cloud asked him.

It says "Best" Tidus answered.

Best? But I don't anyone of us is the best.. I think we're all even. Zidane said not knowing what to do.

Maybe we should all stand on it? Squall suggested.

So they all got in Tidus his arms, Tidus thought his knees were going to give in but they still reached the next tile without injuries. Except for Tidus of course, who most defiantly had a sore back.

Seems like we're all the best huh? Zidane said smirking as they all stood on the tile named "Best" . Then they left the last tile and finally reached the other side of the pattern.

Now let's open this door. Cloud said.

And when they opened it, a bright light came through it so strong that it almost blinded them.

_

You gotta be kidding me! Tidus said as he saw what was at the other side of the door.

What he saw were many of monsters ready to attack them.

So I guess this is the use your strength part. Cloud said. He looked at his friends who were ready to fight. They wished each other luck and ran towards the creatures.

_

The boys had developed great teamwork over the short time that they knew each other. But the monsters were quite strong and giving them quite a hard time. But when they thought they had finally defeated the last one. A big evil looking creature swung his sword at them, Tidus and Zidane we're threw into a wall who seemed to have a two sides , so the wall turned them to the other side of the wall. While Squall and Cloud were threw into a dark hole in the ground.

_

Cloud! Cloud wake up! Squall said while shaking Cloud a little. He hadn't woken up since the fall through the dark hole. What's worse was that Tidus and Zidane were nowhere to be found.

Cloud! Come on, I need you here! Please Cloud. Squall tried again. But still no reaction. He had checked the blond for serious injuries but he couldn't find anything other than a few bruises. What's the matter with you? He thought. How could he know, he didn't even know what was the matter with himself these days. He haven't felt so "at place" in his life, especially when he was with Cloud. He felt happiness, warmth, peace when he was with Cloud. Something that he felt rarely in his life. He felt kind of sorry for his friends in Balamb garden, they had tried so hard to make him feel this way, while all Cloud had to do was look at him and he felt like he could take on the world. But now Cloud just wouldn't wake up, And it killed Squall. Please Cloud, open your eyes! Say my name, smile at me like you always do. Oh Cosmos that smile, he would kill for his smile right now.

Urgh Squall.. Is that you? Cloud said weakly as he reached for Squall's face.

Cloud! Are you alright?! Squall said worrying as he felt Cloud's hand on his face.

Yeah, just a little headache. Cloud smiled.

Squall couldn't be happier to see that smile. So he smiled back as he touched Cloud's hand that was on his face. You really had me worried there you know..Squall said while leaning in to Cloud's hand.

I'm sorry. Cloud said as he looked at Squall, feeling a bit bad for making him worry like this. But he was also happy that the brunette worried about him, it gave him a little hope. Squall just kept smiling at him, which gave Cloud butterflies all through his body. The moment seemed so perfect to Cloud that he felt courage through his body mixed with the butterflies. So he leaned in, Squall who looked a little surprised first now seemed to lean in too. Almost…Is this really happening? Cloud thought. Then a scream was heard.

That sounded like Zidane! Squall said while pulling away from the perfect moment. Leaving Cloud with a disappointed expression on his handsome face.

Then they saw Zidane running towards them, till Squall found him snuggling in his arms.

Hey, relax buddy what happened? Where's Tidus? Squall asked while he took a hold of the younger blonds face with his two hands.

I don't know! We fell through the wall but when we tried to find you guys, he fell through a hole! I reached for him but I was too late! It's all my fault! If something happens to him..Zidane said being close to crying.

Hey, this isn't your fault and we'll find him okay? Cloud said as he kneeled to look Zidane in the face also.

Zidane was too worried about his friend to even hear his voice.

_

Tidus found himself lying on a cold floor. When he looked up he saw something that almost gave him a heart attack. One of the ten fighters that Chaos summoned.

But when he saw who it was, he couldn't help but feeling the tears that welled up in his eyes.

_

End!

You probably all hate me for almost letting them kiss but to pull back at the last moment… Sorryyy

But I want them to get to know each other first.

Poor Ziddy being worried about Tidus, while Tidus is close to break down when he saw his opponent. If you don't know who it is? Then you probably didn't play FFX ;)

Anyway please review! Because I update so fast!
