Chapter 5
After discussing the matter of Sare going with jay with the parents, it was eventually decided that Sare could go. after all, He was likely Jays best friend. As Jay was putting the last of her clothes into the suitcase, Sephiroth asked a question. "How are you going to hide me?" He asked. I'm not. im not even taking you. Jay responded.
"Well, look at it this way... Suppose you get attacked, and cant defend yourself? suppose someone sneaks in, and steals me?" Jay paused to think about it. good point. i'll slip you in the trunk when no ones looking. She thought. She looked out her bedroom window, and Saw Sare talking with Her mother.
She closed the suitcase, grabbed the Masmaune, and headed outside. While Sare and her mom were talking, she placed the suitcase in the trunk of the red buggy, and slipped the masmaune at a tilted angle in the back. "Ths place is starting to feel like home." Sephiroth said, with an obvious sarcasm to his voice. Jay shook her head. "We ready to go?" she asked.
"Just about. just need to go grab my sword." Sare said. Jay nodded as Sare walked off. She decided she might as well say bye to her other friends. they were likely over in the usual place. a small platue outside of nieblheim. So Jay began walking in that direction. After telling her mom thats where she would be when they finally took off.

Jay came up the last of the bumps of the Platue, and saw Macy and Carol. Macy turned. "Oh. hi Jay. Whats up?"
"not much. But im gonna be gone from town for awhile." Jay replied.
"What for?" Carol asked.
"Going to go see my aunt in Edge." Jay said. Carol and macy nodded. "Just thought i'd let you guys know. So macy? Hows timmy?" Jay asked.
"Oh... He's sustaining. But if we cant get him an antidote soon, then that snake venom might just do him in... And that darned store's run out of stalk!" Macy buried her face in her hands. Carol patted her on the shoulder.
"Dont worry. i'm sure the antidotes will be here soon." he said. Macy nodded. jay then looked down off the Platue. the buggy was coming. "I gotta go fellas. Good luck with timmy!" jay hugged them both at the same time, and commenced climbing down.
"See ya!" Carol and Macy shouted. Jay rushed up as the buggy pulled to a stop. sare was in the back. "hop in." Jay's mother said. Jay climbed in and buckled up. "Lets go!" Jay said happily. And as they drove away from nieblheim, all her worries were forgotten.
* * * * *
they had stopped at a Tavern on the way to their destination. It was a fairly old style place. Jay stepped in. she had left the masmaune in the buggy. she would get it in later. It was a quiet place. People wer enjoying drinks, having a laugh. "Well, you two get comfertable. i'll go get us some rooms." Jays mother said.
"k, Mom." Jay said. they sighted a fairly nice table a little ways away. "Not a bad place. sizeable, nice music, and looks like there arent many fights." Sare said quietly to himself. Jay nodded. From across the room, they heard a loud splash. Followed by a yell, a sudden fight breaking out across the room.
Jay looked a bit nervous. Cause the fight was spreading. "look, stay calm." Sare whispered out the corner of his mouth. "If you dont start smacking people, then you wont get attacked-" A beer bottle borke over the back of his head. he fell flat against the table. Jay gasped and looked at the hulk of a man, now readying to punch at her!
She ducked under the table. It suddenly split as the man slammed his fist into it. Jay yelped and dodged a drop kick. this guy knows kung-fu! She thought As she came up, she slammed her foot into his back. He flew up, and into a table almost 20 feet away! It was then, that the fighting stopped, and all eyes centered on Jay. She looked first at her foot, at the man, then at the crowds looking at her.
She gave an innocent smile, and hauled Sare over her shoulder. Her mother rushed up. "My heavens! are you allright?" She asked.
"I think so. got the room yet? i need to make sure Sare's ok." Jay replied. her mother nodded, and they headed upstairs. all eyes were still focused on Jay, until she was out of site.
