I was a Teenage Moogle





RichterCa (Victor A. Colonna)

And MrCohaagen (Brandon Coleman)



Kupo!  My name is Mog.  I'm a moogle.  Moogles are furry, small, cute little 

creatures that live in caves behind the town of Narshe. I am about fifteen years 

old, and boy have I been through a lot!  I've probably seen more that any other 

moogle that has ever lived.  Most of the old fuddy-duddies just sit around in 

their caves saying "KUPO!" all the time, and eating.  That's it!  Boorr-ing, let 

me tell you!  I tried it for about eight years then I blew that joint.  Actually 

it wasn't really my idea:



	Around my eighth birthday we were having a big party for my dad Kutek.  I 

partied till I dropped!  Only one small problem though.  Ya see moogles are 

known for dancing.  We can dance circles around anyone else.  Also we can do 

dances that can summon different elements.  Well at the party  I got careless, 

and I accidentally did a Wind Slash Dance.  It blew all my brothers, Kupek, 

Kushu, Kuru, Kupop, Kutan, Kupan, Kumama, Kamog, Kuku, and Kurin (that's  a lot 

of "Ku's" isn't it?) out the door, and out of the cave!  After that I was put on 

moogle trial and it was decided that I was banned from the caves for three 

years.  Three years!  Well, I wasn't really banned from the caves, but no one 

would talk to me or act like I was there for that time.  I figured that if they 

wouldn't talk to me that they wouldn't really miss me.  Kupo!



	So I set out on my own in the world.  I soon discovered that although 

moogles were content to just say "Kupo!" and still completely understand each 

other, that wasn't the case for the rest of the World.  So I was forced to learn 

"Human-speak" if I were to make it.  Kupo! I learned it from the black-smith of 

Narshe, while I was working for him to earn food.  I also had picked up some 

from the people that come into the caves to get the Moogle Fruit.  That's a 

sweet fruit that only grows on a tree in the moogle caverns.  The humans go nutz 

for it. Kupo!



	I spent two rather uneventful years working for that black-smith.  I 

cleaned the shop, and earned extra money cleaning the Chocobo stables.  Also I 

trained to use a spear.  Hey, a warrior has to be able to use some weapon, 

right?  Kupo!  I trained, and danced, and generally had a good time for those 

two years.  Then something terrible happened.  The EMPIRE!  KUPO!



	I was sitting on the front step outside the black-smith shop when all 

these guys in uniform started walking down the street, led by this guy with a 

huge mustache and beard.  Everyone called him emperor.  When he walked by me he 

pointed at me and some guards dragged me away.  I tried to get free but 1 moogle 

against several big guards is rather useless.  They threw me in a cage with a 

few weird looking creatures that called themselves "Espers".  They said that we 

were going to the Emperor's Palace to have the magic drained from us.  I said 

that I wasn't an Esper, and I had no magic, but the guards just laughed and said 

that I looked real human-like.  Kupo?!?



	So I was carted off to the palace and stuck in some kind of tube.  I spent 

a few days in that tube.  Then the guards said something was wrong with me.  

Then this weird looking guy called Kefka came in and screamed at the guards.  

Then he let me out of the tube. KUPO!  Out of the tube! But then he was about to 

kill me!  Just when he thought he had me, that guy with the big mustache came 

out and told that Kefka guy to let me go.  Kupo...  They threw me out of the 

palace, and told me to find my own was out.  I said fine, I would.  Kupo.  



	Lucky for me moogles are so small, and so cute.  I was able to get a ride 

on a passing boat.  Since I am small, I was able to fit inside some extra space 

in between some boxes.  Then when the captain found me, he thought I was so cute 

that he wasn't going to throw me overboard.  KUPO!  So I got a ride for part of 

the way.  I was dropped off near Jidoor, and started a long walk home.  



	It took about a year, but I finally got there.  Then I found something 

out.  My three years were up!  KUPO!  So I started back to the caves.  That 

night I had a strange dream.  In it this guy who called himself Ramuh told me 

that I was to help some people.  Just before I got to the caves for the first 

time in almost three years, this guy called Lone Wolf came up and grabbed me.  I 

was so mad at him that I blasted him back to the edge of the cliff, and we both 

almost fell off.  Lucky for me, the people I was supposed to help showed up at 

the same moment, and they actually wound up helping me instead!  As I told them 

about the dream, they stood there with their mouths hanging wide open at the 

fact I could speak almost perfectly.  After they recovered from the initial 

shock of the whole thing, they asked if I would help them fight the Empire.  

"Kupo!  Those lousy jerks put me in one of their stupid glass tubes for almost a 

week!  Do I look like an Esper to you guys?  I can't wait to get a crack at that 

freak, Kefka!", I said.  KUPO!



	*(The following paragraphs give a brief description of FF3.  For more 

details, play the game!  Kupo!)  (P.S:  If you have played the game you don't 

have to read the next 2 paragraphs, but they are rather amusing.  ~Richter)



	They told me to go wait in their airship, since they had no room for me in 

the group at the time.  So, I went back out of town and checked it out.  We flew 

around for a bit, landed at some different interesting places.  First, we went 

to the Imperial Base east of Albrook, which led into a really cool cave filled 

with lava!  If I had Snowman Jazz at the time, I could've made the trip so much 

easier!  Then, we made it to a big iron gate, and Terra turned into what looked 

like a naked pink troll doll, which kinda scared me.  KUPO!  After that, Kefka 

showed up and we held him off while the gate opened up.  When it did, a bunch of 

those weird things that were in the tubes with me came flying out.  We learned 

that they had flew towards Vector, so we all climbed back into the airship and 

set out for Vector.  About halfway there, they came flying right past the ship!  

Edgar was flying at the time, and the jolt from the Espers took out the engines!  

As we began to soar towards the ground, I thought, "Geez, this sucks.  

Kupo...does it really have to end like this?".  Amazingly, we all survived, 

although wounded.  Ouch!  After we healed up with the guy near the emergency 

door, we set back out for Vector (AGAIN!).  It took us a few weeks to get there.  

All that walking...my poor feet had blisters on blisters!  Kupo...  When we 

finally got there, the town was on fire!  I thought the Returners and Narshe 

Guards there had gotten mad and did this, but they didn't seem to know anything 

about it.  So, they made us go back to the Imperial Palace, where that guy with 

the big mustache gave us dinner.  The guys had to hold me back to keep me from 

leaping at him and tearing his throat out!  The dinner was pretty good, though, 

and it kinda helped me recover from ALL THAT WALKING.  Kupo...  Then, Terra and 

Locke set out for Albrook so they could go find the Espers.  So, me and the 

others got to sit around and chat with the Emperor some more.  What fun.  I 

mostly hung around the cafe with Gau.  He's worth about as many words as a 

typical moogle.  And boy, did he eat a lot!  Meat, meat and more meat!  I hardly 

got anything because he ate it all!  Then, one day, Edgar rushed in yelling, 

"We've been had!  The Emperor was lying!".  KUPO!!!!!!!  Grrrrrrrr.....  I 

calmed him down (sort of), and he told everyone of the wicked plot to get 

Magicite, whatever that is.  So, we all rushed out of town and climbed back into 

the airship, and Setzer flew us to Thamasa at hyper-drive speed.  When we got 

there, we found out that General Leo had been killed by that Kefka guy that 

almost killed me.  This made me even more angry at the Empire.  We got even more 

depressed wandering around town, so we headed back to the airship.  Just off the 

horizon, we saw a really big island come right up out of the ground and begin to 

rise way up into the air!  So, we tried to take the airship to the Floating 

Continent, but we got attacked by the Imperial Airforce (IAF) on the way there.  

I was awesome!  I danced with all my might, and blew them away (hey, remember 

that?)!  Then, some weird octopus guy and some floating red cloud guy flew up to 

the ship.  After we beat them, the red cloud guy sneezed, and we all flew off 

the ship onto that big floating island.  I looked over the edge and said, "Wow!  

What a view!  I can see my cave from here!".  We found Shadow lying in a heap 

near where we landed, and he joined us until just before we stepped up to that 

Kefka guy and the mustached guy.  Nice timing, huh?  He always bails out in 

times of extreme danger, leaving us to take all of Kefka's crap.  He used some 

blast of energy from the statues to freeze me and Terra.  Celes was left alone, 

and the Emperor guy asked her to kill us and rule the world with him.  She took 

a sword from Kefka, walked up to me, and raised it into the air!  

KUPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I thought I was about to go to that big 

cave in the sky, when she turned around and stabbed Kefka instead!  Whew!  Kefka 

ran around like a chocobo with its head cut off for a while, freaked out at the 

sight of his own blood, and complained for about ten minutes about how much he 

hated Celes, which I found rather boring.  Then, he went crazy and asked the 

statues for their power, which seemed rather strange to me, because statues 

usually just sit there like the big lumps of stone they are.  Oddly enough, 

however, big bolts of lightning started coming from them.  One of them struck 

down the mustache guy, and then Kefka kicked him a few times and threw him right 

off the island!  Then, Kefka moved the statues around a bit, and everyone 

started to freak out, which also seemed odd, since most of the statues I know 

can be moved around with out creating much of a fuss.  But, since everyone else 

freaked out, I went with the flow and I freaked out, too.  Then, just after, 

Shadow came in from the west, pulled Celes back to the top of the island (she 

was almost flung off by Kefka), and trapped Kefka behind the statues.  Finally, 

we were able to move again!  We didn't have much time to stretch our legs, 

though, because the island was about to blow up.  Shadow stayed behind while we 

ran across the quickly-shattering ground to the point where we could see the 

airship below.  We decided to wait for Shadow, since he'd saved our hides a 

couple of times.  It was the least we could do.  So, when he finally showed up, 

we all jumped down to the safety of the airship, which was only safe for a short 

while.  Back on the ground, the land was beginning to change.  Pieces of it 

raised up, split apart, fell into the earth, and everything else it could've 

possibly done.  Huge magical explosions occurred, scorching the land.  It's 

really too bad we got caught up right in the middle of one.  It cut right 

through the airship, flinging most of us off.  I hit the ground rather hard, and 

was unconscious for a few hours.



	When I woke up, I couldn't find anybody else I knew around me.  After a 

few months of looking around and sailing, I found my way back to Narshe.  When I 

got back to my cave (about time!), everyone was gone!  All my brothers, my 

mother, my father, my friends, all gone!  They must have died around the same 

time the world did.  The town itself was also empty, or so it seemed.  All the 

houses were locked, and the only guy left in the town besides me was that Lone 

Wolf guy.  So, I returned to the cave and went to sleep, thinking of how useless 

it seemed to go and do anything.  After a couple of months, Terra, Cyan, and Gau 

came into the caves.  They asked me if I would join the group, and I said would 

I ever!  KUPO!  Next we went up to the frozen esper up on the cliff.  Terra said 

that we should try to free it.  So we did some fire spells, and chipped away at 

the ice and then the Esper guy woke up.  Kupo?!?  He said something about the 

War of the Magi, and that we were good people.  Then he turned himself into a 

weird looking glowing rock, and we picked it up.  Then we went into a passage 

that he opened up.  We walked around in the caves down there and found a big 

bone carving with another of those weird rocks in it.  When we took it, my 

sasquatch pal Umaro came stomping out to pound us into the ground!  After we 

defeated him, I ordered him to join us.  He said he'd wait in the airship.  So, 

we exited the cave and fell a few feet to the ground.  After that little 

adventure, we went to this mountain shaped like a star.  We had to split into 

two groups.  We worked our way through that complicated but fun little puzzle, 

and found Locke at the end!  He held up another of those weird rocks, and gave a 

little history on it and what he was going to do with it.  So, we took him to 

Kohlingen, and he used it to bring his girlfriend back to life for a while.  She 

said she still loved him, gave him back the rock, and then he got all happy and 

showed us all the neat stuff he got out of the cave.  So that's why all those 

treasure chests were empty!  Well, after that, since we had everyone, we decided 

that we should make a big attack on Kefka.  KUPO!  I was excited to finally be 

able to get him back for trying to kill me.  Setzer landed the airship in a 

clearing inside some mountains, and Terra, Celes, Gogo, and me began the long 

climb up the tower.  And I mean long!  It was like a gigantic fire escape, it 

just kept going up and up and up some more!  When we stepped out of the little 

room at the top, all these guys in gray coats came up the stairs and surrounded 

us, asking us to give back "Master Kefka's" treasures.  Yeah, over our dead 

bodies!  Well, it seemed that's what they had planed.  This ghost-looking guy 

started to ascend the stairs, and flew around to us.  We had the fight of our 

life!  Terra, Celes, and myself cast spell after spell, and Gogo simply mimicked 

us.  Eventually, we defeated him, but he unleashed an Ultima spell on us, nearly 

destroying us.  We went back down the tower with our neat new stuff, and headed 

toward Kefka's tower!  KU-PO!  We had to split into three groups.  I went in one 

group with Sabin, Setzer, and Gogo.  The others made up the other two: Umaro, 

Strago, Terra, and Celes in the first one, and Locke, Cyan, Celes, and Relm in 

the second one.  Gau and Shadow had to stay behind and guard the airship.  I 

really don't know what the other two groups did, but I'll tell you what mine 

did.  First, we went around getting all of those treasures Kefka oh-so-

generously left us, and then, we went into a room that looked really familiar.  

It was the same prison that was in Vector before the world went crazy.  And 

guess who was in the right-hand cell?  It was our old pal, Atma, from that 

floating island.  Kupo.  So, Sabin Blitzed, Setzer threw his card-shaped blades, 

Gogo did...well, whatever it is he/she does, and I danced with all my might!  He 

was no match for us!  So, after that, we went out the door, which opened into 

thin air!  AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!  We fell down a little ways with a few bruises, but 

we survived.  Then, we climbed the stairs and found some crawl-through pipes.  

We took the left one, and all the further we could go after that was a roadblock 

with the first party on the other side.  We pushed the floor button, and a big 

chunk of floor moved over so they could go on.  We headed back out and went in 

another door.  When we came out, there was a big dragon in front of us!  

KUUUUPPOOOO!  So, once again, we all used our best fighting moves, and after a 

big long boring battle, we won!  We went in another door, and we went to the 

left side of a big entry hall.  To who's place, I wonder?  Hmmmmm, maybe, 

Kefka's?  So, we waited there for a little while (a long while, actually), and 

soon the wall in front of us just went away, and we could go in the door.  I was 

surprised to not see Kefka there whooping and hooting at us.  KUPO?  We walked 

to the left side of the room, and I think the wall blocking us before came back 

to haunt us!  When I turned around, there it was!  We heard some really loud 

noises coming from the next room, which I really don't know what they were.  

Then, after a few hours, there was a noise outside.  We went out, and there was 

an extra door!  This place was really weird.  Disappearing and reappearing 

doors, walls, and floors.  It really was starting to freak me out.  We went 

through the door anyway, and there was one of those "statues" from the big 

island in the sky in there!  It attacked us, which I really found weird.  It 

almost made me want to scream and jump off the top of the tower.  In fact, I 

tried it, but Sabin stopped me.  The statue actually seemed pretty weak for how 

powerful everyone else said it was.  And after all three of them were killed, 

magic didn't go away.  Everyone was saying it would, but we all still had it 

(Well, not Umaro, of course).  So, when this happened, we all went into this big 

room with three cliffs.  They had switches on the floor, so, naturally, we 

stepped on them.  Big mistake.  There was this weird blue light that came down, 

and then we popped onto a really big cliff with a hole in the mountain above us.  

We heard a voice say, "Welcome, friends!".  Of course, we knew the guy who said 

that was no friend of ours, or anyone's, come to think of it.  It was Kefka!  

KUPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  He popped in too, with a weird glowing triangle around 

him.  We asked him when he would stop this madness, and he floated Locke and 

Edgar in mid-air.  Weird stuff, weird tower, weird guy, I figured.  Then, he 

dropped them, and the mountain he was on flew really high into the air.  Terra 

climbed up and tried to talk him out of destroying the world (AGAIN!), but he 

didn't listen (BIG surprise!), and he shot out a big light beam.  Then, we all 

tried to talk him out of it, but he let loose the light again.  This was it.  

The big fight.  We had to fight some really weird looking things, and then, 

Kefka himself!  He looked weird, too.  Weirder than normal.  He really needed a 

haircut, and he had big ugly wings.  We all let loose with our best and 

strongest attacks, and then Kefka started to slowly melt into absolute 

nothingness!  YES!  KUPO!  KUPO!  KUPO!  After that, the tower started to give 

way.  We all had to make our way out as fast as we could.  Me and Edgar were 

walking though one room, when the stairs disappeared!  I was hanging over the 

edge, about to fall into a really big pit!  Good thing Edgar knew how to work 

the crane!  He picked me up and dragged me over to the little place where he 

was.  I said to him, "Watch the hair!".  So, after that, we ran and jumped and 

everything else-d our way out of the tower and climbed onto the airship.  Terra 

flew out in front to guide us out.  Halfway out, the color of her started to 

fade.  Everyone got all scared, so, like always, I tried to be scared too.  By 

now, it was really easy to fake how I'm feeling.  After a minute or so, she 

started to fall down to the ground.  Setzer made a really sharp dive with the 

airship, so sharp that everyone passed out going down.  When we all woke up, 

everyone started to look for Terra.  She was at the front of the airship.  Edgar 

pulled her over to where Setzer was standing in front of the wheel, and she woke 

up after a while.  She said, "Thank you, Setzer!".  Setzer responded saying, 

"Didn't I say it before?  This is the world's fastest ship!" as we sped off.



	And so there was no more magic in the world. . . . . . . . .  SO WHAT?!? 

Kupo. The dances that I know can't be magic.  Moogles have been dancing since 

long before those Esper thingys that turn into rocks that everyone wants came 

around.  Umaro didn't have magic in the first place, so he doesn't have to worry 

either.   Gogo, that weird guy that might not be a guy, was still, for some 

reason, able to mimic everything.  As for the others, wellll. . . . They were 

going to have problems.  Everyone was complaining on the airship on the way 

home.  At least Terra wasn't going to scare me by becoming a pink troll doll any 

more.  Kupo.  But, Sabin had those weird things that he calls blitzes, Cyan had 

his SwdTechs, Locke was still good at steal... <ahem> "treasure hunting", Relm 

was still a good artist, Celes still had Imperial General skills, Shadow was a 

"ninja" which he says doesn't involve magic, Edgar could still invent stuff, Gau 

could still imitate animals, Setzer... well gambling doesn't involve magic, and 

Terra was still a good fighter with that "atma weapon" thingy, and Strago... 

Strago, Strago, well he was... um, sorta athletic, I think, for his age.  So 

with all this good stuff, WHAT'S WRONG WITH LOSING MAGIC?!?!?  KUPO?!?  



	But, all in all, I had a fun time saving the world, aside from being 

nearly dead from all that fighting.  Umaro and me went back to Narshe, and the 

caves we call home.  We got a few months to heal up, and then we were called 

upon to save the world AGAIN!!  KUPO!!  



	This time we had to stop a guy named Definnius who had made magic using 

machines. It was weird.  Then when we beat him Umaro, Gogo, and me got blasted 

into the past where we were mistaken for Espers  (Again for me KUPO!), and Umaro 

got turned into a frog.

(For more info about that last section check out stories by KCWindham in the 

Reactor on AOL, Keyword:NOA  Or e-mail him at KCWindham@aol.com.  Kupo!)

	

	After that was straightened out, and we were back in our own time, I 

decided to do some traveling.  You would too, if you spent a few months in a 

cave with Umaro.  Boy, does he smell BAD!  KUPO!  I found out that after Kefka, 

the world had gone nutz.  Most of the towns were still around, but they were in 

the wrong places.  Towns that were up North were down South, or West, or East, 

towns that were down South were up North, or West, or East... you get my drift.  



	So, I set out looking for some familiar towns, or something.  JUST TO GET 

OUT OF THOSE CAVES.  KUPO!!  I was getting cramped in there.  I roamed all 

around the world, looking for something to do.  I met a few friends, but didn't 

do much with them.  There wasn't much to do.  Although:



	I was wandering around in a desert, when I saw a speck off in the 

distance.  Not having anything better to do, I decided to see what it was.  I 

hiked for a few hours when I came on... SUPRISE Figaro Castle.  Kupo!  I decided 

to stop in and see what the guys were up to.  I was stopped at the gate by a 

guard, but the King said to let me through.  Kupo.  I heard a voice yell 

something that I couldn't understand, and then two shapes flew out of a door, 

and past me, just before a burst of flame shot out.  I turned around to see who 

just came out.  Edgar and Sabin came out from a big column where they were 

hiding and said, "Hi, Mog".  I said, "Kupo!  What happened?".  "Well, something 

just blew up," said Edgar, "it was a pretty good one, too".  "Mog," said Sabin, 

"how's it going?".  "Not so good," I said, "that sand is hot!"



	"You're just in time to try out one of my new inventions!" Edgar said.  

"Oh, no," I said.  "Don't worry," said Edgar, "all it does is turn a fantasy 

into a reality for a short period of time."  "Oh, well, kupo," I said, "why 

not?".  "Great!" exclaimed Edgar.  Him and Sabin put me in a chair and stuck 

something cold and metal on my head.  A tube came out of it and connected with a 

big gray machine with some buttons and levers on it.  There was also a big glass 

tube.  I eyed the tube and said nervously, "What are you gonna do with THAT?".  

Edgar said jokingly, "WE'RE GOING TO DRAIN YOUR MAGIC!" and laughed a little.  

Then, Sabin threw a lever, and I felt sorta woozy.  I said, "!OPUK  ?deneppah 

tahW  !on, hO  ?sdrawckab gniklat I ma yhW  !PLEH  !ragdE  !nibaS  !gnihtemos 

oD"  I heard Edgar yell, "!neppah ot desoppus t'nsaw sihT".  Sabin ran over and 

turned the machine off.  After a few minutes, I felt (and spoke) normal again.  

"What did you guys do to me?" I asked.  Edgar said, "I don't know!  You were 

talking backwards!".  "Yeah, well so were you!" I said.  "What?" Sabin said.  

"Why would WE be talking backwards?  We weren't in the machine!  Well, brother, 

you've done it again!".  After that, I decided to leave that crazy machine up to 

them.  After all, Edgar was the "master mechanic" (I think).



	So, I decided to go pay Strago and Relm a visit.  Since no ships normally 

went to Thamasa from South Figaro, where I went after that weird little run-in 

with Edgar's machine, I had to pay some extra gold to get to the out-of-the-way 

island, but the captain gave me a 50% discount because he said, "You're so cute, 

I can't charge full price!".  KUPO!  I like being a moogle!  So, I went to 

Thamasa, and I saw Shadow and Locke there along with Strago, Relm, and 

Interceptor.  I said, "Hi!  Kupo!".  Shadow said back to me, "Hey, Mog!  Did you 

hear I'm Relm's dad?  It's true!  We're living together with Strago."  "That's 

nice to hear," I said.  "So, Locke, why are you here?" I asked.  "I heard there 

was a really great treasure in Ebot's Rock!" he said.  "Kupo!  Can I come with 

you?" I asked.  "Sure!  I can always use another treasure hunter!" he said.  

"Yo, Celes!" he yelled.  Celes came running out of the building, and jumped into 

his arms.  "Locke!  I missed you!"  Locke laughed and said, "It's only been five 

minutes, Celes."  She said, "Yeah, but it seems like a lifetime!".  "Kupo, I 

think there's something up with those two," I whispered to Relm.  "Really?  I 

hadn't noticed," Relm said with a hint of sarcasm.



	"Anybody hungry?" asked Strago.  "Starved!" I replied.  "Well, then, c'mon 

in, I'll whip us up something!" Strago said.  "Oh, and I have something extra 

special for you for dessert," I said as I pulled out some moogle fruit.  

"Great!" Strago said, "Now we won't have to go get it again this year!".  So, we 

all went into Strago's house and sat down at the table, which was kinda cramped, 

considering there were only three people and a dog living there full-time.  

After dinner was over with, Locke decided to set out.  We left town and crossed 

the newly-built bridge to Ebot's Rock.



	We got to the island, and the only thing we could see was this huge 

mountain.  We went inside, and there wasn't much light in there.  We could only 

see about two feet in front of us.  We all stepped onto this big black plate, 

and we were in a different room!  It was really weird!  KUPO!  We did this for 

about an hour or two, until we came upon a treasure chest.  "This is it!" 

exclaimed Locke.  Instead of opening it there, he took it back outside to "savor 

the moment".  When we got out, he opened it up.  "I can't wait!" he exclaimed.  

"I don't even know what we're looking for," I said.  Locke reached into the 

chest, and pulled out...a lump of metal.  Kupo.  Locke screamed, "WHAT!  I 

DIDN'T WANT THIS PIECE OF JUNK!" as he hurled it into the air.  "Now we have to 

do that whole thing AGAIN?" I asked.  So, we headed back in, and looked around 

for another hour or two.  Then, we found ANOTHER treasure chest.  I said, "Hey, 

Locke, can you 'savor the moment' in here?  I don't wanna have to go through all 

that again!  This is even worse than walking through Figaro Desert!".  "Har, 

har!" said Locke, as he opened the treasure chest.  He looked inside, smiled, 

and gave a rather childish laugh, saying, "Yes!  This is it!".  Celes walked 

over to him and asked, "Hey, Locke, don't you think it's time you showed us 

what's in there?".  Locke reached over and grabbed Celes's hand.  Then, he got 

down on one knee, looked up into her eyes and said, "Celes, will you marry me?", 

as he slipped the ring which was in the treasure chest onto her finger.  She was 

so overcome with emotion that she fainted.  I decided that I probably shouldn't 

hang around to be there when she woke up, so I walked over to the little panel 

that takes you somewhere else, and I went somewhere else.



	This "somewhere else" happened to be one of the caves back home in Narshe!  

KUPO!  I went over and said hi to Umaro.  "URAAAAAAAAGGGGHH!" he moaned back.  

"Yeah, I'm glad to see you too," I said.  "Check this out!" I said, as I led him 

over to where I popped in.  We stepped on a pressure plate (which for some 

reason wasn't there before this happened), and we were back in that other room 

again!  "UG'HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Umaro screamed.  "It is a little scary at 

first, huh?" I asked.  Umaro ran around in circles for a while, then he stepped 

back on the plate and went back to Narshe.  "Geez, he never could stand to be 

away from home," I sighed to myself.  I went back too, and I figured I should 

get Strago and Relm about a month's worth of moogle fruit.  I went to the part 

of the caves where the big tree was, and I had Umaro ram it.  He knocked loose a 

lot of it, and I stuffed it into a big bag and went back to Ebot's Rock.  I went 

back into the big room to go see what was up with Celes and Locke.



	When I got there, Celes and Locke were kissing.  "Uh-oh," I said, and was 

about to step back onto the plate, when they stopped.  "Hey, Mog!" Locke said, 

"Meet the future Mrs. Locke Cole!".  "Where is she?" I asked, looking for 

someone else to show up.  "Very funny," said Celes.  After that, they kissed 

each other again, and we headed back out.  We crossed the bridge back to 

Thamasa, where we were greeted by Strago, Relm, and Clyde.  "Well?  How'd it 

go?" Strago asked.  "I found exactly what I was looking for," Locke replied, 

gazing into Celes's eyes.  "So where is it?" Relm asked, excitedly.  "Right 

here," Celes said as she held up her finger.  "Hey, Locke, you keeping something 

from us?" Strago said.  "Okay, okay.  I'll tell you.  I knew that this ring was 

in the cave, that's why I didn't tell anyone about it.  I wanted it to be a 

complete surprise when I asked Celes to marry me!" Locke replied.  "MARRY YOU?" 

Clyde said, who seemed a bit shocked by the whole thing.  "Is there gonna be a 

party?" Relm asked.  "Yeah, and everybody's invited!" Locke said.  "Oh, before I 

forget," I said as I handed over the sack of moogle fruit to Strago, "this is 

for you guys, kupo."  "Thanks!" Strago said.



	After that, I decided to head back to Figaro Castle to see what Edgar had 

done with that crazy machine of his.  After what happened last time, I was kinda 

scared going back.  I might be doomed to speak backwards forever!  So, I got 

there, and Edgar came out and said, "Mog!  Perfect timing, as usual!  I just 

fixed the machine, and now you get to try it out again!".  "Oh, goodie, kupo," I 

said.  So, they sat me back down in the chair, and stuck that metal thing back 

on my head.  "I'm sure it'll work this time!" said Edgar.  "What exactly does it 

do?" I asked.  "Same thing it was supposed to do before," Edgar said, "turn 

fantasies into reality for a short time."  "Just think of something you'd really 

like to have," Sabin said.  So I decided to try it anyway.  I thought for a 

while, then I told Sabin to throw the switch.  He did, and in front of me the 

most incredibly be-au-ti-ful female moogle that I had ever seen in my life!  

"KUPO!  WOW!" I exclaimed.  I took off the helmet to reach out for her, and she 

disappeared.  "Oops," said Edgar, "We are still trying to fix that.  So I put 

the helmet back on, and she popped in.  Then, all of a sudden, the machine 

started making horrible noises I lept away from it, so did Edgar and Sabin, and, 

suprisingly, so did the girl moogle.  "I thought that she disappeared when I 

took the helmet off," I said as the machine blew up.  "So did I," said Edgar, 

"But since she is still here, she may be here forever."  "Well, I like this way 

a lot more," I said, looking at the other moogle.  She smiled back at me.  KUPO!  

"Hi, my name's Mog.  What's yours?" I asked, trying to make some small talk.  

"I'm Kushi, kupo," she replied, blushing.  So we spent a few days in Figaro 

Castle getting to know each other.  



	After a few more days Setzer came around in the airship, and picked us up 

to go to the wedding, even though it wasn't for about another week.  We spent 

the week swapping stories, watching Gau eat all our food, and listening to 

people tell Relm how much she's grown.  Kupo?  So, finally the "big day" 

arrived.  Locke and Celes decided to have the wedding in Doma Castle, with Cyan 

being the one to do the whole thing.  Edgar stood right behind Locke for most of 

the time, and Terra did the same with Celes.  So, Cyan started up with his oh-

so-lovable "noble" way of talking: "Dost thou, Locke Cole, taketh yon fair 

maiden to be thine lawfully wedded wife?" which I really couldn't understand the 

half of.  Locke said, "Thou hast better believe it!".  Then, Cyan said the same 

thing to Celes (well, not the part about 'Locke Cole' and 'fair maiden'), and 

she said rather traditionally, "Yes, I do," staring at Locke with that weird 

look in her eyes.  Then, they kissed and everybody cheered.  KUPO!  So, we all 

went downstairs to the big room and had a party.  They had two refreshment 

tables set up, one for us and one for Gau.  It's a good thing, too!  Once he 

finished his, he started trying to get ours!  The party lasted all night and 

most of the next day.  Then, Locke and Celes went off by themselves and Setzer 

took everybody home.  Me and Kushi went back to Narshe, and from then on, we 

pretty much led out a happy life, and that brings us to the present.  Whew, 

kupo!  Quite a long story, isn't it?  Now you see why I'm so bored with normal 

moogle life.



(Going against his personal wishes, I suppose I should tell you that I really 

didn't make this up like you would think.  Mog, the real Mog, not someone you 

know from AOL, actually dictated the entire thing to me and MrC!  It turns out 

that my neighborhood is built on the ruins of Narshe!  Mog and Kushi live with 

me and Umaro lives with MrC.  Pretty wild, huh?  ~Richter)
