Cid and the Damn Dukes

By: Aeris (FlowerGirlAeris1@aol.com)

 

It started one day, one unsuspecting day. A Friday. Friday the 13th- (kyahahaha!) ((Aeris: “DAMMIT! Someone get Scarlet outta here!” Scarlet is hauled away by Hojo into a room marked “Room of no human exit” Aeris: “Ahem… okay, back to the story.))

 

            It started on a Friday the 13th, at the unsuspecting Rocket Town. Cid was enjoying a Dukes of Hazard marathon, a carton of cigarettes, and a case of beer. He had also forced Cloud to come over and watch the marathon with him…

 

            “…ZZZ…ZZZ…”

Well, Cloud isn’t much for Dukes of Hazard…

 

            “Hey you jackass! Wake the $&#@ up! It’s the best &#*@!%$ part!”

            “W-wha?! Oh… yeah…it’s so exciting I think I wet myself… oh no wait… I just spilled my beer when I fell asleep…”

            “DAMMIT! Listen you spikey-haired freak! If you don’t keep your goddamn ass awake and watch the goddamn show I’ll tear you a new goddamn asshole with my goddamn Spear!!!”

            “…I’ll be good…”

            …So Cloud suffered through two more hours of the dreaded Dukes, and listened to Cid babble on about something he didn’t know anything about, or gave a crap about anyway…

            “Yeah, this’s when the smartass kid crashes the $&@*#!^ car into the damn tree…”

            “Yeah…mm-hmm…really nice Cid…oh really…that’s great…”

            Well, whoever said you could only use limit breaks in a battle…?

            Cloud just sat there, and pretty soon, Cid’s babbling and the same show over and over and over… well, it got to him…

            “Grr…”

            Cloud looked at the TV, and waited until Cid left for a pit stop… and took his sword out…

            He quietly walked over to the TV and his eyes flared.

            And Cid was back, just in time, to see Cloud using his Omnislash on his precious TV.

            “GODDAMMIT!! YOU SPIKEY MORON IM GONNA $^%^&%^#$%#!#@!$@#%%^&^%*& AND THEN IM GONNA RIP YOUR $^%^&^&*%&$^# AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR $%^%^&&*@!@!&^# AND PULL IT OUT THEN SHOVE IT SO GODDAMN FAR DOWN YOUR THROAT YOUR &^&#$#$@#$@#!$%^% !!!!!!!!!!!”

            While going on this infamous ‘Cid Curse Chain,’ everyone’s favorite pilot was chasing our blonde soldier back and forth through the house, outside, through the neighbors’ house (who had lived near Cid long enough to grow accustomed to these tantrums…) in the Inn, past the old rocket stand, and in the shop.

 

Cid had Cloud cornered in the electronics section, and was about to poke him a new …well…a new ‘hole,’ when a young kid with a southern accent spoke on a nearby TV, “This is the Dukes of Hazard channel! 24 hour… (I can’t read that!) (Laughs, LAUGHS!) (Oh.) Ahem… 24-hour laughs and your favorite Dukes of Blizzard-I mean Hazard!” Cid’s spear and cigarette dropped to the ground when he saw, you guessed it, the Dukes of Hazard channel, on a brand new television set. Cloud saw this as his chance to escape, and he tried crawling along the wall to safety… but only succeeded in pulling the TV’s cord out of the wall. Cid snapped, and slowly turned his head towards him. “WHY…YOU…LITTLE…” Cloud gaped in horror as the pilot came towards him again, his spear aimed at a rather unpleasant spot for young men to be stabbed in… “Ohhhhh sheeeiiit….” Cloud fumbled with the cord, trying to find the outlet again, while Cid stalked closer. He finally got the cord into the outlet, and like magic, Cid turned back around and sat on the ground, content. “TV… Dukes… urge to kill, lowering…lowering…lowering…” Cloud took a step back, when Cid said in a louder one, “Rising…! …Lowering…lowering…lowering…gone…” “Whew…”

 

 Cloud looked to be sure there were no cords in the way, and ran like hell. And they never heard from Cid again… until yesterday, when the shopkeeper escorted Cid home and gave him the new TV and channel free of charge, as long as he never visited that store again…

 

                                    The End.
