Final Fantasy VIII
Chapter 10
[by Asagi Tsuki]

Standard disclaimer applied.

"Okay, let's start," Asagi said, but then she noticed something strange. She looks around and asked, "Hey, who brings the script?"

The others stare at her. "Didn't you say that you would bring it?" Ponzu asked disbelievingly.

"Um, anyone brings it?" she asked.

"Say you forgot to bring it and I'll kill you," Killua menaced her. "^-^;;; Okay, I won't," she said and began asking peoples, "Did you bring the script?"

Even after 20 minutes, she hasn't gets the script. "NOOOO!!!! I don't want to die this early! I'm only 12!" she shouted in desperation.

Suddenly, someone tapped her back, "I think I bring it," Shizuku said.

With teary eyes, she happily asked, "Where's the script?" "Um, I forgot," Shizuku replied her while smiling sheepishly.

She jaw dropped. 'Why did I forgot she's forgetful?' she said to herself.

"Here's the script," Franklin said as he handed Asagi the script. "Why don't you give me earlier?" she asked, a bit glaring.

"I don't know you're searching for the script," he answered nonchalantly.

"Okay, guys, continue the drama!" she shouted, asking peoples who were doing anything out of ordinary like, hanging on the street lamp, acts as distributor, block the signal spreader way, and anything else.

"I think you all should go to the mental hospital before we continue the drama," she said while sweatdropped.

"So what should we do now?" someone asked, wearing black outfit and he looks like a character from Men in Black ^^.

"What are you doing here?" asked her, thinking that he's only a crazy guy who passed by.

"BAKA!" he bonks her head. "Itai! What did you do that for!?" she asked, shouting and rubbing her head.

"Humph!" the guy didn't answer and snort instead.

She examines the guy for a long time, and said, "Oh, Shalnark," the guy sighed, "Stupid author!" he said.

"What do you do in that outfit?" she asked again, frowning, "I didn't ask you to wear that,"

"It's my right," he grinned. "Okay, so, should we start or not?" she asked.

But suddenly, the lamp went off. It's true that peoples still can see through the darkness, but the camera can't record anything except darkness.

"Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" some players shouted happily while she tapped her forehead with her palm, "I lost again," she sighed. And then the others play in a place where the electricity is still on.

She pouts as the others shouted and jumped like crazy. They went to the most crowded spot of the city.

"Why do we choose this place?" she asked crossly. Killua grinned, "I like this place,"

"Weeeeeell? If I'm not wrong, my cousin lives here," she said, examining the place.

"But I hate this place," and something captured her attention, "Wow! There's a music concert! Let's watch it until the electricity gets on again," she said enthusiastically and happily.

The others sweatdropped. "Didn't you say that you hate this place just now?" Kurapika asked.

"Not for now, let's watch it!" she said and entered the building.

The others exchange glances and sighed, "C'mon, let's get in," and they got in.

A girl with short and a bit messy black hair[1] is playing the piano while the brunette girl[2] plays the violin. Their play is awesome.

Then a pink-haired girl that looks very cheerful[3] steps on the stage.

"Now let's call our important guest and also important player," she said and a girl with long dark brown hair and her hair is braided on the left and right side only a bit while the rest is unbraided[4] steps on the stage.

She played the piano elegantly. Asagi stared in awe and starts to mumble 'I want to be like her' multiple times.

Killua, who is fed up because of her, says, "Wanna be like her? Like you can play piano," he says and grins evilly.

It hits the right spot, "Well, at least I have take the piano course before," she said.

"But you don't complete it, do you?" he asked again, still grinning.

She glares at him. "C'mon, let's go back! I bet the electricity is already on," she said and marches outside before the concert ends.

Followed by the others, she walked with no particular direction. "Hey, where are we going?" Kurapika suddenly asked because they only walked in the same spot.

"Nowhere," she replied. "Huh?" the others chorused.

"I mean, we must spend some time until the electricity is on," she said and smiles sheepishly.

"Didn't you just say that the electricity is on!?" the others asked angrily.

"Um, I've called the State Electricity Enterprise and asked about that, he said it will be on at 3 p.m. sharp," she says, still smiling sheepishly.

The others glare at her, while she grew tinier and tinier, then runs to the studio in the speed of light[5].

When they got to the studio, the electricity is on. "Hhh.." she exhales and commands them to continue.

Kurapika, Killua, Ponzu and Leorio[6] walk down a dusty aisle into a dark and full of moss place.

Kurapika gulped, "Is this really the bar?" she asked hesitantly. "Looks like a haunted house to me," Killua said even it doesn't affect him.

"Poor Shalnark," Ponzu commented.

They went in and saw someone lies on the ground. "Yikes! A murderer victim!" Kurapika shouts as she points that 'someone'.
