Who would've known you'd appear back at this hell hole again.

You sniff the air. And so does the others.

"Ahh~ doesn't this smell like the first time we met?" Prompto says. He's panting.
You scoff and shiver a bit.
"Don't bring back those memories... I just got them out of my nightmares." You say. Sitting on the grass just in case there's any chocobo crap on the ground.

Which IS a bad idea since chocobos hate leaving their poop in public.
"Would be ashamed if it happened again." Noctis says. Plants himself on the ground.
"A damnnnnn shame." Gladio says.

"Annnddd that's not dirt." You say.
"Ewwwwwww." Prompto laughs.
"Ignis!" You call.
"Hmm?" He says.
"Do you have any soap OR ACID?" you ask.
"We just ran out of acid but I have some soap to spare."

You both laugh. Joining in were the others. Even Prompto.

As you all try to relax your aching muscles after walking for days just to get to the chocobo post you are greeted by familiar faces. (Worn out facces)

You clean your hands.
Wait a minute...
This seems familiar...

The actions, the place, it seems like something bad is going to happen.

"Welcome back." The familiar man welcomes you.
You shiver. It's triggering the memories.
You feel something breathe on your neck of course! Like you've told yourself when you got there for the first time, you remind yourself, it'd be a good idea NOT to look back. Even when the words replay in your mind all of them are laughing.

You remain completely still.
Then, something soft rubs your neck, almost cuddling with you. And it's wings claim you as its own.

"That there is the chocobo that so RUDELY, almost killed you." He says.
"So it could've killed me!?" You scream.
"Could've." Gladio says.
"But you didn't." Noctis says.
"That's all that matters." Ignis says.
"You're here now aren't you!?" Prompto questions.

The chocobo leaves for a second and brings you lettuce.
The fluffy bird then cuddles back with you. Sure refuse the lettuce, the bird askes you to feed it with it.

"Just whiles ago you two were enemies, no look at you two!" Prompto says in a "talking to a pet" voice.
"Gladio, Ignis. Remember?" Noctis mentions, while Prompto's back is facing them Noctis points at the chocobos butt.
They all start cracking up and nodding their heads.
When Prompto turns towards them they remained silent.
"I wanna laugh too, what happened?" Prompto says.
"It's a joke between us three." Ignis says.
"You wouldn't understand." Gladiolus says.
"Oho yes he would." With each word, Noctis starts laughing.
The three couldn't hold their laughter.
They all begin to laugh once again.

"Are we going to stay here forever or retrieve your car?" Ignis says.
"OUR, car." Noctis says.

You're sitting down and the giant bird is warming you. It's a huge live blanket!
"

Can I stay here at least? While you all retrieve the Regalia?" You ask.
"Well, I mean. The Regalia IS in a magitek base." Ignis says.

You, Noctis, and Prompto look at him in fear.
"In a.." Prompto swallows his saliva.
"In a what now...?" He continues.
"In a magitek base." Ignis says
"Did you now hear Cindy and I speak?" He says.
"No, I was too busy listening to the conversation Noctis, [Y/N], Gladio, and I were having!" Prompto says.
"Even still, I heard that." Noctis says.
"Same with me." Gladio joins.
You raise your hand to agree with the statement.
"Oh, would you shut up!" Prompto says.
"If anyone volunteers to stay while we retrieve the Regalia tell me now. It won't be easy getting it back." Ignis says.
"I'll sta-"
"Besides Prompto." Ignis stops him.
"I have no choice BUT to go. I am able to warp." Noctis says.
"I HAVE to go. You'll all die without me if there's a ton of em." Gladio says, thinking highly.
"Show offs... Showing off just 'cause you're... 'Cause you're so strong.. " Prompto says.
"Maybe if you trained with a sword more, than maybe you'll be as strong as me." Gladio says.
You all laugh at the lie but Prompto.
"Hmph." Prompto whines.
"Come with us, for company." Prompto says. He's talking to you.
