*With a final hiss the doors to the Gold Saucer’s Air Tram open, emptying out the last of the visitors for the day. Among those were a young woman with pink hair and unusual clothes and a Half-Guado from another game entirely. The girl was happily looking around and briefly chased after a scared guy in a chocobo costume before her partner called her back to help with the luggage.*
“I cannot believe you would spring for a trip to the Gold Saucer!” This is like a dream come true!”
“So you say.” I figured if I took you here you’d shut up about it. Not to mention you would have to tell your little friends to quit killing me.”
“How are you paying for this anyway?”
“With this.” *holding up his hand, Chibi saw a golden ticket* “Took it from Cloud before you killed him. Figured we’d have better use of it instead of those monkeysharks.”
“True, let’s dump our stuff and go have some fun!”

Chocobo races
*After dropping their stuff off at the haunted castle, Seymour allowed himself to be dragged back to the main area. Chibi started looking over the map to the saucer.”
“I don’t know why you’re looking at that, I know you want to go see the chocobo races. So let’s get it over with.”
“I wanted to look over the map, sheesh.”
*they both head over and jump into the chocobo tube. After getting inside they place their bets and watch the race*
“Go Amiee you can do it! I got 500gil on you!”
“Teoh is going to win. Why didn’t you bet on him?”
“Because them Guado boys don’t know nothing about betting.”
*Turning around to blast whoever would dare say something like that; Seymour almost rams his nose into someone’s pectorals. Chibi, trying to hold back a laugh, pulls Seymour away from the 7’, buff, oily, tanned, and thonged form of Dio, the owner of the GS.*
“As I was saying missy, Guado’s have a bad habit of throwing their money on the worst bets.”
*looking at the race* “No, if Teoh wasn’t in there, Aimee would’ve won.”
“But she didn’t, which proves that the boy doesn’t have a good bettin’ mind.”
*recovering his composure* “I see that you are right. Ah, the next race has started why don’t you watch with us?”
“That I will, youngster, that I will.” *Chibi suspiciously watches as Seymour makes room for Dio to stand with them, but as the race starts, she quickly looks back to the action*
“Nice view, but I bet there’s a better view than this.”
“And where do you think that might be, boy?”
“Mmm, down there!”
*before Chibi could react, Seymour shoves Dio over the edge of the arena, falling on the race track just as the chocobo’s rounded the next corner and proceeded to trample Dio into the ground.*
*looking up from the carnage* “That wasn’t nice, I mean, he could revoke our ticket. And I feel kinda dirty using chocobo’s to kill someone, I mean, that’s Kuroi Grath’s shtick.”
“I wouldn’t worry too much. We’re here to have some fun and I found that to be fun. Let’s go somewhere else now.”
“Okay, where?”
Speed Square
*As we left our Bounty hunting hero's, Seymour and Chibidrow had gone to the Gold Saucer for a much needed vacation. But while there, Dio hounded and kept insulting our favourite dead guy. Seymour, in retaliation threw Dio over the edge and got trampled by the racing chocobo's. Let us pick up where they left off...*
~~~~~~~~~~~
*walking out of the chocobo racing*
You know, he owns this place. Your gonna get in trouble...
*as passing guy in a chocobo mascot outfit*
"Don't worry, Lady. That actually happens all the time"
What!?
I'm not sorry. He deserved it. Let us do something else now. How about a ride?
The only rides here are Speed Square and... OH!!
We'll do Speed!!
*grabbing his sleeve, Chibi pulls Seymour into the Speed Square tube*
~~~~~~~
They don't have much for prizes, do they?
No. But the game is more fun than the prizes anyway.
Hmm... I will win for you the parasol!
Oh? Blushes.
You like that useless girly stuff anyway.
Hmm...
*they head to the coaster car*
"Welcome to Speed Square. The cost is 5 gold. Enjoy your ride"
Well, let's go!
"Um, I'm sorry but you need another rider."
We don't have anyone else with us!
"Don't worry!" GYAAH!! Yeep! "I'll ride with them! HAhaha!"
"Yessir, Mr. Dio!"
"Well, Don't you two just stand there with your jaws a hangin'! Get in tha car!!"
*pushes our intrepid hero's into the car, and hops into the last seat. The car pulls out*
"Alright boy! The object is to shoot the pretty little lights with the gun in front of you-LIKE THAT ONE THERE! Oh boy, you missed it! It was just a balloon and you missed it!"
*Chibi, sitting in the middle of the two, wonders if jumping from a roller coaster and leaving those two alone would be worse than setting Sephiroth loose at the annual Black Cloak chili cook-off in Nebelheim*
Let me shoot in peace, old man!
“Boy, you’re pathetic! How do you expect to win a gift for your girl here if you can’t even hit a balloon!? I swear your as bad as that blonde kid from a few years ago!”
WHAT!?
*Having had enough, Seymour Abruptly stands up, turns around and sets his foot on the back of his seat*
Listen Old Man, I’ve had just about enough of you! Leave us alone and go bug someone else!
*At this time, Dio stands up in his seat and puts his foot on the back of Chibi’s seat and leans forward until he and Seymour are nose to nose. Chibi, after a quick look backward (and got mortified beyond belief) looks forward again and notices that they were about to hit a loop-de-loop*
Seymour! DOWN!!
*Chibi grabs the front of Seymour’s robe and yanks him down. The coaster rolls into the loop and a surprised Dio goes falling…right in front of the car as it comes out of the loop and runs over the owner of the Gold Saucer*
*looking over the rim of the car*
Do you think we’ll get in trouble for this?
I don’t really care. At least now I can finally finish the…game…?
*looks dumfounded as they pull into the station. The Attendant looks on questionably, wondering what happened to the third rider*
Heh. Look at that…the rides over.
@%^&(^$%$!
Gondola
*walking back into the main area of the Gold Saucer, Chibi was feeling like their vacation would be coming to a quick end.*
I’m really sorry for how this is turning out. What say we head back to the hotel and get a good night’s sleep? Maybe tomorrow things will be better.
I suppose mayhaps he sleeps during the day so we’ll be able to enjoy ourselves then. Come. Let us go back to the castle then.
*Before Chibidrow jumps into the chute that will take them to the Haunted Castle, Seymour spots Dio heading their direction from the main gate. Not really thinking, he grabs Chibi, tosses her over his shoulder and jumps down the chute opposite them.
On the other end was a woman standing in front of a gondola*
Good evening. Would you like to take a ride around the Gold Saucer?
Tell me, how many people are allowed on this ride?
Only two, Sir. It’s 3 gil.
Good! *tosses a handful of gil at the woman and steps into the gondola with a very red faced Chibi sheepishly waving back at the lady*
Enjoy your ride! He must be desperate…
Inside…
*sets Chibi down on one side and relaxes on the other seat*
Finally! We get to ride at least one ride without him interfering.
Heh, yeah… *looking everywhere but at him*
*arches an eyebrow* Is anything wrong?
You do know what ride this is, don’t you?
*looks around* It takes you on a trip around the park. Nothing to be concerned about…what?
*watching the balloons float by* This is a date ride, which is why only two people are allowed on.
...Oh...
*uncomfortable silence ensues.
Chibi gazes out the window quietly, every once in a while making an oohing noise as some splendid part of the Gold Saucer passed by them. Seymour, bored with most of the stuff outside, contented himself to watch the colors splash and play on Chibi’s skin and hair. After a few moments, Chibi notices him looking at her*
What?
Nothing.
No it’s not. Why are you looking at me like that?
I enjoy watching the colors play on you. It’s rather beautiful with your dark skin.
*blushes* Wh...what?
*chuckles a little bit*
What’s so funny?
*starts laughing harder* I wonder what the woman was thinking when I carried you in here?
Oh jeeze, I don’t want to know! Well, my rep is ruined.
*quiets down a bit *
You know, *leans forward, taking her hand* I never told you how happy you make me feel. Hold on- *raising his other hand to silence her* -I enjoy going hunting with you, hanging out with you, *pulls her closer, looks into her red eyes* just being near you…
Seymour... *her heart pounding, the emotions showing in his blue eyes, Chibi closes her own and leans forward, feeling him moving closer to her, his hand on her chin, lifting her face up so he can kiss her-*
*THUMP!*
*startled, Chibi opens her eyes* Wha…? *gets scared by the look of abject horror on Seymour’s face as he looks behind her. Though fearing to, she turns around*
Didn’t think I’d make it in time! *Dio, was hanging out of the window behind her, smiling that stupidly cheerful smile of his* Thought I’d miss seeing how the Guado boy made out. You should be ashamed of yourself , son! I’d’ve had half her cloths off by now.
*losing all of his self composure* WHY WON’T YOU LEAVE US ALONE!?
‘Course, seein’ as how she’s wearin’ coconuts and not much else, why are you wearin’ fruit anyway? In my day, good girls wore bra’s. Compensating for something, girly?
*since he had shown up, Chibi had been silently fuming, now with that last remark toward her style of dress, along with the dazed look of an unsent Guado contemplating curling up in a fetal position and sucking his thumb, Chibi, had had enough*
That’s it. *stands up* I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU AND YOUR BUTTING IN ON OUR VACATION!!
Something the matter, sweets? *as usual, not understanding what’s about to happen*
RAWWRRRRR *and with her best imitation of GMS, Chibi magically calls her staff to her and with a swing that almost took Seymour’s head off if he hadn’t ducked, Chibi strikes Dio, sending him flying off the Gold Saucer entirely*
Remind me never to get you truly mad at me.
*embarrassed, Seymour takes his place back on his seat. Silence reigns again for a few minutes*
I’m sorry.
*startled* For what?
I should’ve been the one to take care of that, not you.
Eh, don’t worry about it. That was building up in me and gave me the chance to actually get back at him. But- *looks shyly at him* -before he interrupted us…?
*with a smile Seymour leans forward again, but before they could do anything, there was a bump and scraping sound of the gondola coming to a halt. The ride was over*
…I don’t believe this…
*the door swings open*
Hope you enjoyed your trip around the Gold Saucer! Hope to see you again soon.
But! We didn’t! Dio…!
We’d like to go again!
I’m sorry *not sorry at all* but it seems that there is something wrong with the gondola and we need to shut it down for repairs. Hopefully it will be working the next time you visit the Gold Saucer. Buh-bye.
*pushes them out of the gondola and out of Round Square entirely. Looks back at the mechanism holding the gondola to the wire and seeing parts of the metal stretched and twisted (from when Dio’s weight pulled on the ride) and shakes her head*
Perverts.
