The Life of Erin Tribal Chapter 28

~~

A/N: Does anyone know that feeling when you just can't find an ending point for a chapter? Well, that's what happened to me here. No clue how long it is yet, but...

...wow, it's shorter than the last one, but not unless I continue blabbing on here. Still no new reviews... Where are you reviewers??? I'm trying to get my mom to read what I've written and she hasn't read yet. Okay, and she's now yelling at her game. And yes, I'm purposely blabbing away because I'm not going to say much in the final one.

Fine... ON WITH THE CHAPTER!

~~

"Erin?" He asked, confused.

"Yeah, that's what I said! And might I ask what you're name is?" Erin asked him, putting her hand on her hip.

"My name's Harry," he replied.

`Harry? Could he be...? No, it can't be him! It just can't be!' Erin thought to herself.

"Well, if you aren't Maria, we can't allow you to stay on this airship!" Setzer said to the group.

"Excuse me, we need some kind of transportation. Can we make a deal?" Celes asked.

"What kind of deal?" Setzer asked her.

"We flip a coin. If I win, you agree to join us and let us use your airship. You can pick what happens if I lose," Celes explained.

"If you lose, you have to marry me. Very well then, anyone have a coin?" Setzer asked.

Erin looked at mom nervously. `I hope she knows what she's doing.'

"I have one," Edgar said, handing a coin to Celes.

"I'll flip it," she said, flipping the coin.

When the coin was in the air, Setzer said, "I call tails."

The coin landed. Heads. "I win. You have to join us and let us use this airship," Celes said.

Setzer picked up the coin and looked at it. "No fair! Both sides have heads!"

Edgar winked at Celes. She smiled. She grabbed the coin, and handed it back to Edgar.

"You never said we had to be fair!" Erin argued, and walked off to get changed.

She saw Celes do the same thing out of the corner of her eye. She stepped into a room, and changed back into her regular clothes. When she got back out, she saw Celes waiting for her.

"Come on! Setzer's showing everyone how to drive the ship, just in case!" Celes said, yanking Erin up to the deck.

"All here? Good, Harry, go ahead and show them," Setzer said, letting Harry take the wheel.

"Erin, get over here. Everyone else, gather behind her," Harry ordered.

They did so, and watched as he showed them how to make the ship go higher, lower, and how to steer it.

"Who wants to try first?" Setzer asked them.

"May I try it?" Erin asked.

"Very well," Setzer said, setting down the stool Harry had used so that Erin could use it.

She stepped up and did exactly as Harry and shown them. "Very good! Looks like we've got another driver. Harry, Erin, go ahead and head down while I show the adults how too," Setzer explained, ushering the two younger kids down below deck.

"So uhh, Harry, how old are you?" Erin asked the boy, sitting down on one of the seats.

"I'm six," he replied.

"Hey! So am I!" Erin exclaimed, glad to finally have someone around that was around her age.

"That's nice," he said, as the rest of the group but Setzer came downstairs.

"Setzer's heading for Albrook," Locke said.

Celes walked over to Erin. "Erin, we're going to head for Vector," she whispered in Erin's ear.

Erin glared at Celes and sighed. "Fine, but as long as I can grab my stuff."

"We'll try."

It felt as if there was a crash and Setzer walked down the stairs to below the deck. "We're here, but the ship crashed. I'll need to fix it up."

"Do you need my help?" Harry asked him.

"No, you go along with them. Hey Edgar, think you could stay and help me?" Setzer asked.

"Sure. Gau, you might as well stay here as well," Edgar exclaimed, and walked off with Setzer. Gau ran over to a corner and started to sleep.

"I think we should get some sleep first," Harry suggested.

`Thank you,' Erin thought, and just collapsed down onto a couch for the night.

Luckily, this night was dream free, and Erin woke up peacefully. She looked up and saw Harry sitting down on a chair nearby.

"Hey," she said sleepily.

"Hi," he replied.

"Do you always get up this early?" Erin asked, stretching out.

"Yeah. I love to watch the sunrise in the morning. Plus, I usually can't stay asleep..." Harry started, but stopped himself.

She looked at him, wondering what he was about to say. "Well, I've been having these nightmare's lately that I don't want to talk about..."

"Yeah, that's what's been happening to me too," he stated.

"Let's go wake the others," Erin said, holding back a yawn. She always hated getting up early, but it seemed like she was doing it more and more.

"Yeah, we should get going. Setzer and that Edgar guy are already up and working," Harry explained when Erin got up.

"Ok, let's go get Sabin, Cyan, and mo… err, Celes then," Erin stated, stopping herself when she almost said `mom'.

"Right!" the boy said.

The two kids ran off to wake up all the others, but instead found them already awake.

"Are you two ready?" Sabin asked them.

"Yeah, let's go," Erin said.

"Anyone know which direction Vector is from here?" Harry asked the group as they headed to leave the airship.

"It's east of Albrook, which is where Setzer told me we are," Celes replied.

The group waved goodbye to Setzer, Edgar, and Gau and started off towards Vector. After about ten minutes of traveling, they ran into their first bunch of monsters.

"Ralphs," Celes stated, drawing her sword.

Erin watched as Harry drew out a few cards and threw them at the monster. The monster screamed in pain, and Erin ran in to give it the finishing blow.

After the battle, Erin had yet another talk with Harry.

"Harry, what's your weapon?" Erin asked him curiously.

"Cards, same as Setzer's," he replied.

"That's a weird kind of weapon..." Erin said.

"Well, it works as long as there's at least one sharp part on the card," Harry explained.

"Interesting..." Erin stated, and then ran to catch up with Locke.

He looked down and smiled. She smiled back, and the group just continued towards Vector.

After several hours of traveling and fighting, they finally made it to a castle like structure.

"This is..." Celes started, only to be cut off by Erin.

"Vector..." the young girl finished.

`I wonder if mother's still waiting for me there? I sure hope not!' Erin thought as they walked into the town.

A/N: Uh-huh, oh yeah! I made five pages barely thanks to all my blabbing up there. Anyways...:

Oh yeah, and look at who the mysterious boy was! Now it's just a matter of time before Relm comes in as a major part of the story. Like, umm, let's see... Magitek Factory, Research Factory, back to Zozo, back to Narshe... again, Cave to the Sealed Gate, back to Vector, and we have her basically! Well, add in a little boat trip and such, but oh well.
