Unconventional Tactics, Tuesday, Period 2

Today, there was no lanky Turk standing in front of the class room. Just a weirdly dressed blonde girl that some of you might have taken classes with, a couple of years ago. She was holding a small bright red baby bird cradled in her hands.

"Hi, guys," she said. "I'm Rikku. I'm a friend of Reno's. He can't teach today, so it looks like your final is up to me."

Don't worry. She'd explain Reno's absence in a minute.

"First of all! We had an invasion last week, and all of you made it through. Good job! Maybe you were one of the people who went and fought goblins. Maybe you did research and found something important. Maybe you stayed in the dorms and held down the fort while everyone else went off to be heroes. What matters here is that the invasion's over, and everybody's still in one piece. So if you want to talk about what you did, or what you didn't do, we can totally do that. But you guys aren't going to have a final, because you already passed it. Just by getting back to class safe and sound."

The chocobo chose that moment to nod emphatically and blow a raspberry. Pbbbbbbthhhhhhht!

"See? Reno agrees," she laughed. "That's the second thing. Your teacher is currently an adorable little baby chocobo, and has been for almost a week now. But I'm sure he still wants to hear about how you guys did. Or how cute his little chin-chin is. Or wave a wing for pictures, if any of you need some blackmail material ..."

If she had to teach his class, she was, at least, going to amuse herself doing it.

"I'm pretty sure he's been gone long enough for them to have gotten over their angry," Karla said. "And just be really glad to see him."

"He's still worried," she said, with a bit of a sigh. "So I said I'd go with him to protect him. And he said that his mom would want me to join the family."

Karla snickered a bit. "He could have just meant that his mother's the type to adopt anyone who comes along?" she said in a way that suggested she didn't think that at all. "Really."
