Everyone had gathered on the deck, and once I and Locke joined, they all started saying their good-byes. I walked over to Shadow to say farewell to him when Relm jumped in front of me and stretched her arms out high.
"I'm going to miss you Terra!" I picked her up and hugged her laughing.
"I'm going to miss you to, Relm. You are going to be good, right?" I smirked at her which made her giggle but smirk back.
"Have you been hanging around the old man to much?"
"I'm not that old!" Strago called from another group, overhearing Relm. She laughed jumping back down and running to Locke, jumping up and hugging him. I turned to Shadow and jumped a bit when I saw him walking to me.
"Hello Terra...Relm's going to be a handful, isn't she?"
"Yes." Shadow smiled his rare smile and pushed me slightly.
"You don't have to agree to easily, you know." I laughed a little which made Shadow turn his head down.
"You alright?"
"Yeah." He replied, looking back up at me. I smiled offensively at him and he looked back in question.
"I'm the one who responds in terms of 'to easily'?" Shadow looked away smiling again. Locke came over the group holding Relm in his arms, just as Strago came over and stood next to Shadow.
"You ready Shadow?"
"Ready as I'll ever be."
"Right...now, remember; no killing, no robbing, no hurting people just because, no stealing..."
"Treasure hunting." Locke interrupted, at which Relm slapped him on the forehead.
"I wasn't talking to you Locke. Anyways..."
"I get it already, you know?" Shadow interrupted this time. Strago looked him in the eyes to see if he was lying, which he wasn't. "After the third time, it dampens into you. Let's go Relm!" Shadow called out to Relm at which she jumped from Locke's arms and ran after Shadow. Strago followed slightly annoyed.
"Hey, I'm not done with you yet!"
"Yes, you are. Now come on, the town's three miles away."
"Three miles?! I'm going to die before then!" Relm complained, dragging her legs against the ground. Shadow picked her up and set her on his shoulders and continued.
"No, you're not. Interceptor!" Interceptor than ran from the group and joined Shadow at his side, Strago lagging behind.
"Bye everyone! We'll write to you all!" Relm exclaimed from the distance. We all waved as they continued down to their new home in Tzen. It's been a few days since Relm, Strago, Shadow, and Interceptor left and was in their new home. I was frightened because we were getting closer and closer to Mobliz, my home where I'm now in charge of so many kids. I missed those kids, I was so glad I was going to see them again. But I wasn't glad that I was leaving my friends...for some reason I didn't want any of us to leave, I wanted all of us to stay together.
"Terra?" I was startled by Locke who woke me from my thoughts. I was staring unblinkingly out a window, and Locke tapped my shoulder and brought me back, startling me though. "I'm sorry, did I scare you?"
"Just startled me is all. What is it?"
"I was just worried is all...you were off in space." Locke grabbed a nearby set for me which I sat in, and then he found another one and sat in front of me. "Everything alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I just miss them already."
"We all do. We'll see them someday though, just like everyone else." He patted my shoulder to comfort me, which helped because I smiled and he smiled along with me. I noticed he was about to say something when everything suddenly started shaking. Locke grabbed onto the sill of the window as I grabbed onto his arm. I looked around and saw Mog flying around trying to hold onto one of the lamps from the ceiling while Gau ran around freaking out, frequently tripping but getting right back up and running around again. After a few seconds, Cyan ran into the room and ran up next to us, joining on holding the window sill.
"Do you know what's happening Cyan?!" Locke yelled out, unable to talk normally. It was probably a good idea because even though he yelled and I was right next to him, I still could barely hear him.
"Yes, thy knows...we be landing right now!"
"This is the worst landing Setzer has ever done!"
"Thy has to agree with...it is the worst! But, I doubt the last!"
"How comforting!" I uttered out, still holding onto Locke's arm. After about a half-a-minute of this, we heard a loud thud and all of us jumped about a foot of the ground. I looked to see if everyone was alright and noticed Mog had fallen off of the ceiling lamp and Gau instantly got up from the floor and dashed out of the room. The three of us grabbed Mog and made our way to the deck where everyone was gathered, waiting for Setzer to come out from the room and explained what just happened. Celes came to us and smiled.
"You guys are alright, that's good."
"What's the news Celes?" Locke asked, looking up at the room with everyone else.
"Nothing yet...Setzer hasn't come out of that room yet."
"I hope he's fine." I muttered.
"Thy Setzer is fine...he is strong..." Cyan replied to reassure me. After a minute of everyone talking, Setzer finally emerged from the room, his hair a little frizzled and his clothes a bit dusty.
"Setzer, what happened?" Edgar demanded, everyone agreeing with him. Setzer looked at each one of us, embarrassed, before talking.
"Um...a little meltdown. The ship decided to shut itself down at that exact moment, so I did a little emergency landing."
"Little?" Sabin raised his eyebrows and Setzer gawked at him.
"Yes, little."
"The ship will be able to fly later, right?" Celes suggested, worried we might be stuck.
"Oh, yeah. It'll fly...it just needs a break is all."
"Why did thou not warn us about this, little, thing?" Cyan shouted, everyone else agreeing making Setzer panic a bit.
"Because it hasn't happen in years! Now...back to your business. You Terra, you might want to get ready though. We're near Mobliz." Setzer returned to his room as everyone started talking to each other.
"Mobliz..." I whispered to myself, but Locke overheard me and came to my side.
"You want to go and pack right now?"
"Sure, I'll get it over with it. I'll be back."
