'Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do!'
A little scrub was sneaking along the main entrance of the temple. From time to time it stopped, looked around and scuttled further. A little red pompom was sticking out of it.
'Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do!'
A moogle stuck his head out of the scrub. 'I'm so clever,' Goba thought. 'They'll never detect me like this. So I'll have the chance to sneak inside, go for the priest's chambers, fetch some water, turn back into normal and ask for an audience with Maester Seymour.'
He vanished back into his camouflage and scuttled further ahead.
'Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do!'
Goba gritted his teeth. "Will you finally stop humming that stupid theme?" he shouted as quietly as he could.
The Alpha Fiend stuck his head out from behind a pile of snow. 'Sorry, boss! Don't know either how I came up with that song. But it kinda fits, doesn't it?'
Goba shook his head and vanished back into his scrub. The top secret agent moogle had to find a way inside.
Sadly, he couldn't see very much because of his leaves.
On his way inside, he bumped against something.
"What the heck...?" he muttered and looked out of his scrub.
And looked right at the feet of a certain nun...
She wagged her finger. "I thought I told you to stay outside..."
[GRAB]
[WOOOOSH!]
"Whaaaaaaah!" shouted a living moogle missile as it flew outside into the snow.
----
Some time after that, the pilgrimage group arrived at the temple. They hid the snowmobiles behind an ice pillar and walked towards the entrance.
A priest stopped them. "The likes of them are not welcome in these holy halls," he grumbled while looking at Rikku and Nabiki.
"Oh boy, not this again..." Nabiki sighed.
"She... she's my guardian," Yuna explained.
"An Al Bhed... a guardian?" The priest seemed shocked. "Preposterous!"
"I only want to help and protect Yunie," Rikku said sternly.
"And that's all one needs to be a guardian, correct?" Auron added.
The priest looked down at the cute little girl. "Ummm... who are you?"
Auron-chan smiled and twirled around her giant blade. "I'm a guardian too, what else?"
The priest shook his head. When Al Bhed and little girls became guardians, he really didn't want to know about Yevon's future. What comes next, a chocobo joining the crusaders?
----
Somewhere else, Ukyo sneezed.
"Bless you," Clasko said and gave her a tissue.
Ukyo smiled. "Thanks, Clas-chan."
----
A thin rope got thrown to a small window whose shutter was opened.
The moogle made sure that it was hanging safely, then he carefully climbed along the rope.
'Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do-dooooo! Do-do!'
"I thought I told you to stop this, kupo" he shouted back to the ground.
The music stopped.
Goba almost reached the middle of the rope, when the face of a girl appeared in the window, surrounded with red hair and a green hood.
'Crap,' Goba thought.
Shelinda smirked. "Oooh, what have we here? A little cat burglar, it seems." She took the hook of the rope into her hand.
"Nonononono," the moogle stuttered in panic and hold tightly on the rope. The nun nodded. "Oh yeeeesssyesyesyes!" She took a good grip on the rope and twirled it around.
"YoooOOOOoooUUUUUuuuuu'll paaaAAAAAaaaaAAAyyyyyYYYYYY for this," the cat burglar moogle cried as he was hurled through the air. Finally, his little paws slipped off the rope and once again, he was flying through the air.
Satisfied, Shelinda closed the window.
The Alpha Fiend was rolling around the ground laughing while his master's little legs stuck out of the snow and struggled wildly.
----
Another Guado welcomed Yuna and the others in the main hall of the temple. Every wall was decorated for the wedding, and many guests were standing around. Even a music band was playing.
"When we're in the Cloyster of Trials, tell the others what we've seen," Ranma whispered to Nabiki and Akane. The Tendo sisters nodded.
"Please, Lady Yuna," the Guado said. "Lord Seymour is waiting for you in the Cloister of Trials."
Yuna nodded and turned around to her guardians. "Please wait here. I'll come back once I talked to Maester Seymour."
She wanted to follow the Guado, but Ranma stepped forward. "Hey, wait for me. I have to go to the Chamber of the Fayth as well, right? Why shouldn't I simply join you? After all, I'm a summoner, and visiting the fayth is a summoner's privilege, correct?"
The Guado seemed uncertain. "Well, Lord Seymour told me to only bring Lady Yuna..."
Yuna looked at Ranma with a grateful smile. She turned around. "Please, can't you make an exception? He's right, he's a summoner. And he's also a good friend of mine."
The Guado sighed. "Well, okay. If he's really such a good friend, he may join you in your hour of bliss. Please, follow me my lady, my lord."
Ranma looked back at Akane. "Hear that? He called me lord?"
Akane smirked back. "Go already, you stupid baka!"
"Uncute!"
"Pervert!"
"Kitchen Destroyer!"
"Hey, that's Shampoo's line!"
The Guado sweat-dropped. "Um, sir... if I may... we have to go. Lord Seymour is waiting."
"Okay, dude," Ranma grinned. "Lead the way."
While leading Ranma and Yuna to the trials, the Guado shook his head 'Dude? Is that supposed to be an honorary title? I better remember it...'
----
'I think you should just give up, master!'
The moogle angrily got up on his feet. "No, kupo! I will succeed. No stupid nun is preventing me from serving my master. Kupo! Plan C will commence: Operation Air Raid!"
'I'll get the parachute...' the tiny fiend mumbled while shaking his head.
