FF 9 Birthday Present

Two years have passed since Garland and Kuja tried to take over Gaia and failed because of Zidane and company and Zidane coming back alive from the Lifa Tree. The sun was setting on the town of Alexandria turning it into a pretty sight of a blazing orange. The city was more full of people then usual as many were coming to see the famous play of Lord Avon’s “I want to be Your Canary.” This was being played by no other then the famous Tantalus on the Prima Vista for Queen Garnet on her 19th birthday.

Garnet was looking through some last minute papers in the throne room before she got ready for the play. Garnet was wearing a orange tank top with a white long sleeve shirt under it and a orange shorts that went halfway down her thighs with orange thigh socks that went under her shorts. She was still wearing her red gloves and shoes from three years ago and Garnet still kept her hair short.

Beatrix was standing outside of the throne room as always and Steiner was running around the castle making sure the guards were doing their jobs. The king of Alexandria was unfortunately away at Lindblum having a meeting with Regent Cid. Garnet knew that she and her husband had royal duties to fulfill, but she wanted to spend her birthday with her dear husband Zidane.

At the docking of the Prime Vista, two dark shadows jumped away from the ship and into the castle. They made their way to the hallway with the stair case leading to the second floor. The two men found two guards and knocked them out and took their armor. They  made their way to the kitchen to fetch Garnet some tea. As soon as they entered they were pushed out with the tea by Quina saying too many people in the kitchen.

They made their way up stairs and into the area where the queen and king resided. One of them took the tea to Garnet’s old room and the other one saluted to Beatrix saying the tea was ready.
Beatrix made her way into the throne room and saluted to the queen.

Beatrix: “Your majesty! Your evening tea is ready.”

Garnet: “Thank you Beatrix. I will be right there.”

Garnet set aside her papers and walked to her old bed room.

Once there, her old table was still in the same place and everything else was moved to the queens bedroom. Garnet sat down and drink her tea that was already pored.   

Garnet: “I’m glade I have company, but Steiner will be cross with you both for not being at your posts.”  

Fake guard one: “Don’t worry about it.”

Fake guard two: “He told us to come here and keep you safe ma’am.”

Garnet: “I see.”

Garnet was about to pure herself another cup when see really felt sleepy.

Garnet: *Yawn* “I must have worked harder then I thought today.”

Fake guard one: “I’m sorry, but you need to sleep now your majesty.”

Garnet: “wait your not castle…… guards…… Bea…. trix.”

Garnet fell to the ground with a thud, knocked out cold by Sleeping weed. The two guards in the room quickly acted, one of them went by the door making sure no one came in and the other one pulled out a big white bag and dumped out it’s contents which was 4 brownish coils of rope and three white cloths.  

The guard quickly laid Garnet on her belly and pulled her hands together behind her back and grabbed one of the coils of rope and wrapped the rope around until there was just enough left of the rope to make a small tight knot. The guard grabbed another coil of rope and wind it around her elbows and after the 4th loop he took the rope and tied her elbows to her body by wrapping the rope above her breast and back around her elbows and back around her breast but going under it. The guard did this 6 times going above and below her breasts and he knotted it off tightly behind Garnet‘s back.

The guard tied Garnet’s thighs together with the third rope and tied Garnet’s ankle’s and halfway up her legs with the 4th coil of rope. The guard grabbed one of the white clothes and gently opened Garnet’s mouth and stuffed it in. The guard grabbed a second one and pulled it between Garnet’s teeth and knotted it behind her head. The Guard grabbed the third cloth and blindfolded Garnet with it. Once Garnet was secured by the rope, he stuffed her into the bag and shut the top. The two guards left the room only to be stopped by Beatrix halfway down the hallway.

Beatrix: “You two, halt!”

Fake guard one: “Is something the matter?”

Beatrix: “Yes there is. You two are late in getting the queen’s laundry! That is her laundry in there isn’t it?”

Fake guard two: “Ahhhhh yeah! It is and we are taking the clothes to get cleaned.”

Beatrix: “Carry on then and don’t be late picking it up again!”

Fake guards: “Yes ma’am!”

The fake Guards hurried down to the lake separating the castle from the city and got on a extra rowboat to take them self’s into town.

A little later Beatrix went to the front doors of the castle to talk with her husband.

Beatrix: “Steiner!”

Steiner: “Hello dear.”

Beatrix: “That’s General Beatrix on duty Steiner! I want to know if you have seen”

Steiner: “we have no time to talk! The king is here.”

Zidane walked up to both of them and they saluted him. Zidane hadn’t changed much in three years. He still wore the same clothes and his hair and tail never changed. The only thing that has been added is a dark blue cape, which he thought made him look more cool.

Zidane: “How’s my feuding married Generals tonight?”

Beatrix: “Just fine sir!”

Steiner: “Doing great sir!”

Zidane: “So Beatrix, is the plan in motion?”

Beatrix: “Yes sir.”

Steiner: “What plan?”

As they were talking Blank and Cinna walked up to them.

Blank: “Yo Zidane!”

Zidane: “Hey you two.”

Cinna: “Sorry were late. But the boss gave us a beating over something.”

Zidane: “Sounds like Baku is the same.”

Beatrix: “What do you mean your late? Wasn’t that you two that just left with the queen?”

Blank: “Nope we just got here.”

Beatrix: “Then the queen was kidnapped for real!”

Steiner: “What are you people talking about!” *Jumping up and down madly.*

Cinna: “We saw some people crossing the lake on our way over here. It might be them?”

Zidane: “This isn’t good. Beatrix, Steiner seal the castle and search the grounds! I’m going to check the town.”

Beatrix & Steiner: “Sir!”

Zidane took off his cape and got back on the boat and went back into town.

---------------------

At the edge of the cliff of where Alexandria is. The two fake guards threw Garnet in their small airship and got in and started it up. Zidane was running at full speed to catch the ship and managed to jump over the side just as it was taking off. Steiner was following Zidane and saw the airship take off with him.

Steiner: “This is bad! Both the king and queen have been kidnapped! I won’t allow this! I must find a airship.”

Steiner went off to borrow a airship with Beatrix following him close behind.

Zidane hid on the airship and waited to see where the kidnappers where heading.

As the airship was flying along the sleeping weed wore off and Garnet awoke.

Garnet tried to move, but her legs and arms wouldn’t move. Garnet tried to look around but saw nothing but black darkness. Where ever she was it was stuffy and uncomfortable. Garnet gathered her strength and screamed but it came out as a small mphpm.

Garnet tired everything to get free, but she had no luck. Whatever was over her eyes and mouth was tied to tightly to shake off and since she couldn’t speak she couldn’t cast any spells. Garnet rested for a moment and felt the ground shaking meaning she was on a airship. The only thing Garnet really knew that she was being kidnapped. For once in a long while Garnet was scared and terrified out of her wits.

The airship flew about 20 minutes before landing at it’s destination. A small town at the other end of Alexandria called Dali. Feeling that they landed Garnet tried to struggle hoping someone would hear her. But the two guards picked her up and took her into town.

The town of Dali had grow quite a lot in the two years. Since black mages could not be made anymore, the town turned back to farming and being a popular rest spot for people coming across the boarder. The two men took Garnet to the inn which now had 4 rooms instead of 1. The inn keeper was gone from the front desk, but they took the struggling Garnet to the original room. They went inside and set Garnet on one of the beds and started towards the front door. When they got outside they were meet by Zidane.

Zidane: “Hey guys. Good work.”

Nero brothers: “Thanks Zidane.”

Zidane went into the inn and the Nero brothers headed back to the airship.

Zidane entered the inn room quietly as possible and walked over to Garnet who was struggling madly to get free from the rope and the bag. Zidane was tempted to leave her like this as it was a beautiful sight to behold, but he set the bag he was holding down and took Garnet out of the bag she was in.

Garnet felt the bag coming off and tried to scream again but it only came out as a mmpmmrphm.

Zidane: “Having fun my sweet queen?”

Garnet: “Mphprmphpmphprmpghpm!”

Zidane: “Here let me get that for you.”

Zidane took of Garnet’s blindfold and gag and Garnet spat out the cloth inside on the floor.

Zidane: “Better?”

Garnet: “Yeah. What’s going on here Zidane?”

Zidane: “Don’t you recognize the room?”

Garnet: “This is the Dali inn. But I was just”

Zidane: “Kidnapped by the Tantalus just like a few years ago. I thought it be a good birthday present. I even brought a few things from home.”

Garnet: “Oh I see. It’s going to be a great birthday then.”

Zidane: “You bet!”

Zidane drew a dagger and cut the rope binding Garnet’s wrists and ankles. while Zidane opened the bag and took out some shackles they use back at the castle for their night time games. Garnet took off her shoes reveling her socked feet and her tank top and her white shirt to reveal a red bra. Garnet put her orange tank top back on and by then Zidane was ready to shackle Garnet’s wrist and ankles together.

Outside of Dali the Nero brothers were heading back to their airship when they ran into Steiner.

Steiner: “You two halt! By order of the knights of Pluto, your both under arrest.”

Nero brothers: “For what you tin can?”

Steiner: “For kidnapping the queen and king of Alexandria!”

Nero brothers: “Oh? Their over there in the inn. You find them in the first room.”

Steiner: “Out of my way then!”

Steiner ran straight though the Nero brothers causing them to spin around and fall on the ground on their butts by being run through by a big tin can knight. As they were getting back up Beatrix approached them.

Beatrix: “Surrender now or be killed by my sword!” *grips her blade.*

Nero brothers: “Hold it lady. Zidane told us to give you guys a little scare by kidnapping the queen before Blank and Cinna did. Were the Nero brother of the Tantalus!”

Beatrix: “If that’s true, then……. Oh no!”

Beatrix runs straight though the Nero brothers causing them to spin around again and fall on the ground on their backs.

Nero brothers: “It’s not our day.”

Inside the inn, Garnet’s wrists and ankles were shackled and Zidane was pulling a red ball gag out of the bag. While Zidane was about to gag her Garnet struggled against the chains and got into that act.

Garnet: “Oh please release me Mr. Thief. I promise I won’t run away.”

Zidane: “Oh no little Queen, I can’t let a gold mine like your self get away. But I am a man who likes silence, so here is a little something to keep your nice and quite hehehehaha.”

Garnet: “Please don’t gag me. I swear that I won’t talk or scream. If you let me go then I can pmphrpmyphprmpm!”  

Zidane pushed in the ball gag into Garnet’s mouth and buckled it behind her head.

Garnet: “Mphrpmphpgmprhpmr!”

Zidane: “Ah music to my ears, quite music that is hehehehhaha! Let‘s give it a little test runs shall we?”

Zidane ran his fingers over Garnet’s feet, back of her legs, and her belly which made Garnet squirm and roll around the bed, but the gag kept her quite.

Garnet: “Mrprhpmrphgpmmpmphphrm! Mprhprmph! Mphpm! Mmmrmmpppgphhhhrrh!

Garnet struggled against the chains and rope and mmphpmrpm for a few minutes before Zidane spoke again.

Zidane: “I think it’s time we have more fun my little captive queen!”

Garnet: “Mrphrpm!”

As Zidane was about to get on the bed Steiner busted through the door.

Steiner: “Hold it! I’m here to save you Queen Garnet! Hey what’s going on here?”

Zidane: “Steiner?! What are you doing here?”

Steiner: “Why is the queen tied up like that? Are you the one who did this?”

Zidane: “Well yes, but you see.”

Steiner: “I knew it! Your still a thief taking advantage of the princess I mean queen.”

Garnet: “Mprpmprhpgmprhpmgphrpm! Mprhpm! Mrmprhpmg! Mrprhpmr!”  

As Steiner was about to charge at Zidane,  Beatrix grabbed Steiner’s ear and tugged on it.

Steiner: “Hey! What the? Beatrix!”

Beatrix: “Quite it down. I’ll explain it to you later. For now let’s go.”

Steiner: “Where we going?”

Beatrix: “Your highness! May we have the night off?”

Zidane: “Of course! Knock yourselves out.”

Garnet: “mrphrm!”

Beatrix: “Thank you. Come on Steiner were going to the room down the hallway to make up some us time.”

Steiner: “Us time?”

With that Beatrix slammed the door and dragged the tin knight can down the hallway.

Both Zidane and Garnet giggled and Zidane returned to tickling Garnet.

Later Zidane untied Garnet so they could get some sleep.

Garnet: “Hey Zidane.”

Zidane: “Yeah?”

Garnet: “Thanks for tonight.”

Zidane: “No problem and Happy Birthday!”

The End.
