Have you ever farted in class? Blamed it on someone else? Laughed alongside everyone else, full well knowing that it was you who committed the disgusting act? Well, even if you haven't (which is probably the case), you're about to read a true story about a child who did, and the poor victim of this cruel joke.


The year was 1991. It was a hot winter day in South Florida. Luckily, most people were inside at the time, as was the setting of this story. In Ms. Branford's first-grade classroom, all was quiet, except for the lesson currently being taught. All of the sudden, a quiet farting sound was heard.

Kefka: Ewwww.... Leo farted!

All children except Leo: *laugh uncontrollably*

Leo: I..It wasn't me! Really! It was Kefka! *isn't heard over class's laughter*

Ms. Branford: Leo, do you need to use the restroom?

All childen except Leo: *laugh even harder*

Leo: *over several children's smart remarks* No! It was Kefka, I swear!!

Kefka: *snickers, while still trying to look offended by Leo's last remark*

Ms. Branford: *apparently doesn't notice that Kefka is snickering* Now Leo, it's not nice to blame things that you did on other people. You might hurt their feelings.

Leo: But I'm not lying! It was Kefka!

Kefka: *starts fake-crying*

Ms. Branford: Stop it, Leo! Look! You made Kefka cry!

Leo: B...But, he's just faking it...

Ms. Branford: That's it, Leo! I'm calling your parents!

Leo: NO! It was Kefka! NOOO!

Kefka: *fake-cries harder*

Ms.Branford: Leo! Go to the principal's office!

Leo: *storms out of room and to principal's office*


In the principal's office...

Principal Gestahl: Leo, I understand you were making fun of Kefka Nibelheim.

Leo: I was not! He farted and blamed it on me!

Mr. Gestahl: I see...

Leo: Y...you..believe me?

Mr. Gestahl: *pressing the button on his intercom* Mrs. Cole? Could you come in here for a second?

Mrs. Cole: *entering* Yes, Mr. Gestahl?

Mr. Gestahl: Celes, could you tell Ms. Branford that I'll call Leo's parents for her?

Mrs. Cole: Yes sir.

Mr. Gestahl: Thank you very much, Mrs. Cole.

Leo: *eyes starting to tear* NO! It wasn't me! It was Kefka!

Mr. Gestahl: That's enough, young man! Now go back to class!

Leo: *starts to leave, but is interruped by Principal Gestahl*

Mr. Gestahl: And if Ms. Branford tells me that you've done one more thing to hurt Kefka's feelings, I'll have you suspended!

Leo: *trudges back to his class*

Ms. Branford: Well, Leo? Do you have something to say to Kefka?

Leo: *mumbles* No, I'm not sorry. He's the one who farted and blamed it on me....

Kefka: *pretends to be hurt by those words*

Ms. Branford: *sees Kefka's act* Okay Leo, I'll just tell have to tell Principal Gestahl about this. Go back to the office and wait for your parents to pick you up.

Leo: Fine...


25 years later....

Kefka is walking through the park while on vacation in his hometown of Sunrise, Florida. As he's walking along, he sees a bum lying on a bench. Someone has taped a piece of paper on the bench that says "The Farting Bum". Kefka snickers when he sees this, then continues on. As he starts to walk by the bum, the bum suddenly sits upright.

Farting Bum: Kefka Nibelheim!?

Kefka: Who are y-- Leo? Leo Conroy? Hey! How long's it been?

Farting Bum/Leo: *quietly* 25 hell-filled years....

Kefka: *laughs at previous remark* So, how's it going?

Farting Bum: You ruined my life! Ever since that day you farted and blamed it on me, my life has gone further and further downhill! I am known only as "The Farting Bum" by the residents of this city! It's all your fault!!! *lunges at Kefka*

Kefka: *dodges* Whoa!

All of the people who are nearby begin to watch the unfolding scene

Farting Bum: I'll kill you! *starts to lunge at Kefka again, but stops*

Kefka: *farts*

Farting Bum: ....? -_^

Kefka: *thinking quickly* Look everyone! The Farting Bum has farted again!

Farting Bum: *eyes widen in horror* NOOOOOO!!! It wasn't me!!

Everyone who happened to have been watching: *laughs hysterically*

Farting Bum: Stop laughing, all of you! *points at Kefka* It was him who farted! Not *farts* me!

Random guy from crowd: Look, he did it again!

Kefka: *waves hand in front of nose* ~_^ Damn, what'd you have for lunch?

Everyone but Farting Bum: *laughs even more*

Farting Bum: *runs away crying*

Kefka: *calming down* What a fruit.....

THE END

Original story by Danny Walker and Andy Backlund. Altered slightly for reasons of humor. Original names changed to protect the innocent (actually, to save my ass). By the way, anyone who's played FFVI will probably notice a lot of names from that game here. I just thought of the idea all of the sudden, and thought it would be really funny. And as for last names, in Norse mythology, "Nibelheim" was the name of the underworld, Conroy was the last name of the poor sap who this really happened to (most of the part that occured in first grade, anyway), Branford is Terra's last name, and Cole was Locke's last name (implying that he and Celes are married, in case you're a moron and hadn't figured it out yet).
