oo4 ❀ tale as old as time | video

( Belle looks tired as she comes into view on the camera, despite the fatigue, she’s smiling rather proudly and proceeds to explain her elated feeling, fingertips pressing against one another in her giddy state. )

I’m finished!

( just two words, but that’s her proud announcement. finished what, you ask? )

I’m all finished! The whole place is completely dust free, pollen free, scum free, scuzz free, dirt free, web free, bug free — free, free free! It’s all gone! Rumpelstiltskin’s is immaculate!

Now that that’s finished and there’s no mess, I can finally take that trip I had been wanting to!
Oh, well, that is to say if I still have a charming guide who’ll assist me with the travelling?

Tidus, once you’re finished with that Cup, if you’re still up to it, that is.

( can you FEEL her excitement, everyone? )

[running after her, he starts to walk backward, smiling at her enthusiasm.] I don't even remember. It must not matter. Yeah, the water reflects the sky too, so everything's really bright. The water isn't really cold, it's kind of warm. There are almost always some people around. It'll probably be kind of crowded.

( she grins at his smiling, it feeling infectious to her. )

I thought of swimming, but, the suits for bathing are rather showy. ( what is showing leg anyway? ) I was told to look at Port Royal; but I think I would just prefer to get to the beach. ( besides, she can't swim anyway! )

[he nods, a little bit relieved to hear there won't be swimming today. normally, he would have been more than up for it, but for today just going to the beach sounded perfect.] The water's nice enough to look at, and the way it sounds...you'll see what I mean.

[reaching the gummi ship, he lets her in first, before following.]

I forgot, have you had the chance to travel in one of these yet?

( briefly, she's confused on what to do once inside the ship. she shakes her head to the blond as she glances around her new surroundings. )

Not as such, until now as it were.

I don't have to pilot it, do I?

No, don't worry about that. I'll handle it.

[he put all of the beach supplies in one corner, which includes a few towels, his custom-made Blitzball, and a cooler. jumping in the pilot seat, he motions at the passenger seat for Belle.]

You just have to smile. It's corny, I know, but that's how they work. It makes them kind of a pain to pilot at times, but right now it isn't a problem.

Smile? ( that gets a laugh out of her, so smiling shouldn't be too hard at the moment. sitting down into the passenger seat, still pleasantly excited about the trip, smiling comes easily )

I think I can handle that for this trip!

[he laughs lightly, steering the ship up.]

I'm glad to hear it. Space is pretty cool so it should be hard not to.

( space is among the many things she's never been witness to. glancing to him, she raises her brows )

Space? These ships are built for that? I've never heard of anything traveling through space.

[he nods quickly, speeding up the ship.]

Until I got here, I didn't either. We had airships, but they never went into space. I'm not sure how these ships work, but they do.

That's pretty interesting.

( she leans to look through the windows, taking everything in, amazed )

This is beautiful!

It is, isn't it?

[he agrees, slowing down a little to give her time to look.]

It's so strange, coming from one of the worlds and seeing this. It's completely different.

( her eyes widen in wonder at the sight of the space between worlds. )

I have never seen anything so beautiful; it truly is a wonder. Very amazing to see with one's own eyes.

( her smile widens )

I think I am going to like this sort of travel. One could never really grow old of seeing something so wondrous.

It's the only way to see it.

You can do this more often, when you want to. You know that, right?

You mean pilot this thing myself to see it?

Sure! I can teach you. [he nods like it's no big deal.]

It's really simple.

( she's giving him a look as though he's insane, because he truly must be at this point to believe that the likes of Belle could fly some spacescraft )

[he is insane, but that's another story. he just smiles at her, like he doesn't see what's wrong.]

It's just a matter of memorizing what each thing does, and learning to steer and avoid life-threatening things.

( can you hear yourself, Tidus? )

Oh. Yes. That... Sounds ever so simple.

( she laughs, though. because of the absurdity of it )

It is. In fact...

[he just...steps completely away from the wheel, causing the ship to veer to the side.]

You can steer it now.

( crap. they are going to die.

with a yelp, she grabs for the wheel although has no idea what to do with it. she comes from a land of horses and reigns; there are no steering wheels and honestly, she's never even steered a horse cart )

Tidus!!

[he keeps smiling, but he tones it down a little and tries to look and sound more reassuring.]

I'll talk you through it. Pull it to the right.

Wh— How!?

( welp, whatever. she gives the wheel a yank to try and literally pull it to the right, since that's what she gathers he wants her to do )

Now up, down, right, right, right down, left!

[he speaks as fast as he can, which is pretty fast.]

( —wait, what came after right?

crap.

how about she just jiggers the whachamacallit however she can, because panic and directions are not working.

hope you're okay with a bumpy ride, Tidus! )

Whoa, whoa--ow!

[he grabs onto the other seat, finally managing to sit down while holding on for his life.]

I guess that wasn't much of a lesson.
