| FF5: Brief Flirtations
This really isn't much, but it's a scene I'm kind of taken with. Please note that the only version of FF5 that I've played is the version in FF Anthology, so I used the names from Anthology. Yeah, I know it's supposed to be Butz. Poor guy. Spoilers from hell. From HELL, I tell you. =====

| (SCENE:The Elder's Tree. BARTZ, FARIS, REINA, and KRILE are all here,
relaxing. Off to one side, three chocobos 'wark' contentedly at each other,
and a dragon is sleeping off in the distance.)
(BARTZ yawns and stretches.) BARTZ: Being able to sit around and do nothing for a change is nice... FARIS: D'arr, tell me about it. We been sittin' here for near an hour and nothin's tried to kill us yet. BARTZ: I guess we ought to think about getting back to our normal lives, whatever those are. REINA: I'm a princess. KRILE: I'm cute! FARIS: I'm not much o' a pirate any more, without me ship and me hydra... but I be a princess too. In me spare time. BARTZ: I'm a... a wanderer, I think. Which is what got me INTO this mess in the first place. REINA: Does being a wanderer pay well? BARTZ: Hah. Wandering, adventuring... I don't do it for the MONEY. REINA: Why DO you do it, then? KRILE: He's not qualified to do anything else. (BARTZ grins at KRILE, lazily throwing an acorn at her.) BARTZ: Hrmpf, little brat. (A brief acorn-flinging fight ensues. Shortly thereafter, REINA and KRILE say their goodbyes and head off, leaving BARTZ and FARIS leaning up against the Tree.) FARIS: I don't know what I should do, d'arr... I don't like bein' a princess and havin' to wear dresses an' stuff. But I lost me pirate ship. BARTZ: You can come with me, if you want. FARIS: D'arr? Really? BARTZ: Sure, I'd love that. I... I've always been attracted to you. You're so short, so pixelly, so... magenta-haired. FARIS: D'arr, ye sure know how to sweet-talk a woman. An' ye... I never met a man who could wear blue shorts and green boots tegether so well. But... me crew thinks I be a man. They'll think ye're flamin'. BARTZ: I don't mind. I was kind of attracted to you when I thought you were male, too. FARIS: ... d'arr, whatever. Sure, I'll go with ye. BARTZ: Wonderful... we can both change jobs to Dancer and paint the town red... FARIS: An' then later on maybe we can both change jobs te... Bare. BARTZ: Oooh... you're my kind of woman, Faris. FARIS: D'arr. (BARTZ and FARIS ride off on their chocobos, somewhat awkwardly holding hands.) (CURTAIN.) |

===== COMMENTS: Awww. Actually, the characters in this one are a lot NICER to each other than in my usual furious hair-pulling parody fics. That may be why it's so much SHORTER. And yeah, I know Faris' accent wasn't this horrible in the game itself. But it was FUN, damn ye! I love Faris. I really do. She's one of my favorite RPG women ever. D'arr. |
