*TACKLE* We!

OMG I so hate , it is now allowing me to write long reviews lately T_T WHY? *insane scream*

So, how I will make this brief? IMPOSSIBLE! This is taking a great and wonderful development, I am really addicted to it and it is now one of my favourite stories! I was also expecting to see more reviews on this one, I have to advertise this somehow :D anyways, I am loving the way you are writing all the characters... Basch, Ashe, Arya, Ljnn (thanks again for adding her :D ), Raminas, Vossler, and Cid and Balthier... OMG each and everyone of them entwines with the others so well!

And HAHAHA My fav part... Cid, Arya and Ljnn in the end... OMG Cid, you don't know in what mess you are about to stumble upon... heheheheehe I bet the next developments will be far for simple, won't they? :P

*hugs* you are one of the best :D this is turning out great, and I will be here waiting for more :D

Akeri, my friend, it doesn't disappoint :)
First off, I was glad to see how long it is!
But eventhough its long, it definately doesn't drag, it all fit together and flowed perfect (as usual)
I know I stole your script in the dead of night, XD but really I hadn't foreseen the Gator attack like that!
I really enjoyed that part :D You got the touches of suspense right for both the first and second attack. And after the first attack, when Basch and Ashe are speaking, I noticed how very in character they were and I particularly liked the bit where you wrote Basch thinking something like 'I should be the one not speaking to her for what she has done, but alas I am the softhearted one.' That was a good observation of their characters I thought ^_^
The aftermath of the attack where Raminas was saying that the knights are relieved of their guard duty with her had me like 'NO!' xD but I thought that was a good twist :D
Looking forward to that turn of events.
Nice to see their is still the bits of humour here and there that lighten the plot by just the right amount ^_^
(Grumpy Basch in nothing but a towel XP)
The scene with Cid, Arya and Ffamran was spot on, not overdone or out of character or anything and I think the Lljn/Arya confusion thing will be very interesting :P
Well done on thinking of that detail, I wanna see how she'll pull off the acting and the trouble she'll get into :D
I tried to make this a thorough review as much as I could because I know how hard you worked on this :)
I think I got all of what I wanted to say in there but theres so much to talk about and I've probably forgotten some bits XD So if I missed something you would like my opinion about then just message me on YT ^_^

Excellent! Another chapter!

And what a rescue! Poor basch getting the brunt of it again, but I loved the battle with the Gator. Cloud was amazing!

Now Ashe has been told whats what! No more Basch looking after her now! Well done daddy! I wonder if this means that Ashe will now begin to behave herself? I dunno!

Bit of naked Basch!! Wowza...that was clear in my mind. Too much so. I'm bad. *LOL*

and fwamwan! He's back! Yeah! I can't say how much I love little stuttering Balthier! And I loved how your wrote him straightening his hair and going cross eyed!

Arwa's got quite a job to pull off, pretending to be her sister. Yet why didn't Cid comment on her sister's likeness? Hmm...I shall have to wait!

Great job babes! Lovely!

Aw!

Fierst of all, so sorry it has taken me so long to review this...I am dreadfully behind on reading my favorite stories.

When I got to the Author's Notes, I saw you mentioned me along with Eari and Baschashe. I'm honored! I really love this story too it always makes me giggle!

Ok... jump forward Ashe is 9 now...and as much a terror as ever *LOL* I think she might be even worse as she has gained independance...HAHHAHAHA POOR BASCH AND VOSSLER.

The tickle scene! Yes! Your invention of ticklish Basch is one of the best things ever in the whole world.

COOL! I see Ljnn in there! I am very familiar with Eari's character and it is cool to see her and Arya now as official twin sisters.

OMG Vossler... LMAO... Ashe running over the top of Basch's back... omg priceless.

Hm... interesting what does Raminas have up his sleeve inviting Arya as a family member...

This was another great chapter! You NEVER disappoint! Though I really, really miss Cid and little Fhramram (or however you spell it)

I hope they come back!

I can't wait for the next chapter!

~Georgia~ (Famke)

Nyahahahaha review 3 2 1 GO!! XD

Uh oh Ashe has grown up... or not LOOL I wonder why she is running with Basch... and away from who!

"running through the maze of halls away from the other Knight who was chasing them, spewing foul curses." It's Vossler! I bet is Vossler, I am SURE is Vossler HAHAHA

HAHAHAHA I was right HAHA I can imagine the scene already HAHAHA Basch and Ashe stuck between the shelves LOOL omg Vossler must be REALLY mad, I wonder why! :O

"Flying into the other empty shelf, that is." HAHAHAHAHA Basch, you crack me up every single chapter of this fic HAHAHAHA I love you now! Wait... I already loved you HAHAHA OMG I am so regret not have reading this sooner.

OMG Basch hurt and Ashe poling scene HAHAHA "Basch blinked before leaning down to her level,no longer having to crouch to get eye-level gave him more of an edge against her flying feet for which he thanked whatever gods existed." HAHAHAHA wait to see, some years later she will slap you XD

"That was until her hands found their way to his sides and he was squirming around trying to get free, the whole time that embarrassing giggle echoing in the library." HAHAHAHA the brand new quickening rising up again, Ticklish Basch HAHAHAHAHAH LOL

"I don't think rendering me useless is a great idea. Even worse with a half-bald Vossler hunting the palace for us." COME AGAIN?? Half-bald?? O_O HAHAHAHA

JKALFHSKFHSKFHSDJK OMG LJNN! Ljnn is here! :O OMG *TACKLE* *runs in circles and trips on her own feet* Ahem, Raminas, the sisters have you cornered now HAHAHA omg Arya and Ljnn are SO COOL together! They act as one!

Another most excellent chapter from Akeri!! (It's so weird, I was just thinking about this story the other day and I was wondering when a new chapter would be posted!) But hurrah! It's here!

Basch steering Ashe down the hallway! That's just a wonderful sight to see! And HECK! What has Ashe done to Vossler now? Well...Basch certainly wouldn't have done anything, but he always gets the blame!

Ew...It's getting all purple-ish." Ashe muttered, pulling at his face even more so she could stretch it out and see what it looked like.

"My lady, that skin is attached to me."

He grabbed her hands and she let go, albeit a bit reluctantly.

"Can I poke it?" Ashe asked, staring intently at it, hands twisting together as she tried to resist the urge to do it.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Cause I said so."

"But I'm the princess!"

"And your point is, My Lady?"

"I order you to let me poke it!"

LOL I was in stitches! She is so mean!! Basch has got to stop her from getting away with all this! *sniggers*

And tickling Basch! I love it when you write about Basch being tickled. I wish to do something like that too! Making him ticklish is genius!

Ljin and Arya twin sisters! Most excellent!

OMG! Ljin is undressing in front of basch and...well what a master plan...good thinking you clever Viera! Vossler was fooled. Poor bald vossler.

Ahh! Ljin is going to get Cid and Balthier back! YAY! We wanna see more lisping Balthier and to have Cid and Arya really get together!

Ashe has gone off into the wilds of Giza!! BASCH! Go after her! Ek!! A cliffie!

Please update son!! X

Well as for what you said to me about you thinking Ashe and Basch are sabotaging the story sometimes , you are wrong missy :P They are well written, and they are my favourite characters in this! :D
No wait, Cid aswell. And Arya. And Balth- errh i mean Ffamran XD
They are all awesome!
On a serious note though, you write very well, your work is so enjoyable and easy to read ^_^
I like the quips of witty/sarcastic humour here and there too XD
Im anticipating reading the next chapter, so please hurry and update! I know life gets in the way ¬_¬
I really wanna see what happens with Arya and Cid :P
xAishanx

FF is being mean and wont let me review! *wail*

Oh I know, I will just write in a word doc and paste when FF behaves! YAY!

*reads on*

Hahaha! The Ffamfram vs choco is hilarious. I just love his little speech impediment...so cute :D

Oh how wonderful, we see the little pirate-to-be's first theft. GREAT TOUCH.

Poor Cid! He likes Arya! Aw she is rejecting him. :(
Archadian. 'why can’t he just have a one-track mind like most men?' Haha!

Naughty Ashe testing Basch to see if he could ride the chocobo that dhe already knew threw Vossler. heheh Basch and Ashe are priceless together.

LOL Ffamfram and Arya are talking about the gil- totally ignoring poor Cid moaning on the ground... AW POOR CID! *lol*

"Ffamram, she doesn't have any reason to stay with us."
"You and me. Is that weason enough?"

Oh my this pulled my heartstrings so much! I want them to be together!
*lol* he stole the pad and pens from Cid's office...heheheh!

'He swallowed the lump in his throat and slowly began to write, the words that raced from his heart and bled onto the paper in blood that was black.'
WOW that was a beautifully written sentence- very powerful.

"Goodbye, little thief." :D Little Balthier playing matchmaker to Cid and Arya is just darling- ILOVEITSOMUCH

I'm feeling so sad by their parting... *wail*
...and the ending! *wails more*

This was so touching and wonderful- I just love it!

~Famke~

Sorry about the lateness of this review. But, what can I say? Your work just keeps getting better! Little Famwan is so cute! And as for Cid and Arya...it's a great interaction between those two...Its wonderful! XD

Asfor Basch being covered in manure! I was in stitches! XD Ashe really is pushing it...but I suppose her getting some on her finger serves her right! She and Basch are like a married couple the way they argue! It's classic and so funny!

But Arya leaving Cid and Ffamran was sad and very sweetly written. I just wish and hope there will be more for them in the future! XD "Goodbye, little thief." So sweet.

And I knew she did have feelings for them both. A lovely way to end it. XD

You are still wonderful with this story...I look forward to the next installment. XD

E another chapter!! :D Oh, I was so happy to return home and see this :) oh, this is the end of this age period? :( What will come next then? I sure loved this Ashe! :D

Ah, here goes little Ffamfwam craving for treasure :P getyourhandsoffmecoin you biwd! LOL Balthier and chocobo scene now, as hillarious as Basch and chocobos HAHAHA I will never see a chocobo in the same way now XDD doink-bonk-doing-bonk HAHAHA

"Never before had he ran so fast in his life, then again, he had never taken anything from anyone before... The feeling was... Exhilarating." So, he is a sky pirate, a thief because of a chocobo hehehe :D if Dr.Cid knew that his son found his vocation with the help of a chocobo... HAHAHAHA

I liked a lot Cid and Arya's bit, though I would like if it has a bit more descriptions... but don't get me wrong, I think the dialogue is awesome... it shows a side of Cid that no one knows, and probably no one will never know until he dies :( I am now very curious of what you have in store for Arya!

"One minute, it's trying to kill me. Next, it's trying to molest me. Great." HAHAHA Basch Vs. Chocobo Part II XD because Everyone Loves Basch, Even Chocobos!! XD

"He nearly puked at the idea but it was the only way out, to roll through to the ground. He turned as fast he could, keeping his mouth clamped shut until he hit the dirt." Ew XD

"She shook her arm and watched a piece of poo fly through the air to go on a bald servant's head. The pair dunked behind the gate of the ring, both trying to keep from snickering as a shriek echoed." HAHAHAHA They are both a Menace In The Palace XD tch hehehehe and King Raminas acting like the father to them both :D It's his/her fault!" HAHAHAHA oh I really love them both now XD

hehehe I love the fact when Arya is mad, she call everyone "hume" XDD And "The feeling to murder you, yes."... no, you're lying Arya, you want to kiss him XDD

CHOCOBO ATTACK! XDD And Choco is the winner! XDD I can actually see the whole scene hehehehe hey Ffamfwan, let Arya see the treasure! :) Oh, she grew up to be too fond of the young boy, right?

Oh gawd, Basch ever clueless about women hehehehe :P he sure is cute, I understand that he really he is the perfect person to take care of Ashe :) not Vossler! XD

Why Basch does not want to speak about his... women?

Yes Vossler, get your hands off Ashe.

ZOMG now I am the one to ask... what does the letter says? XD I want to know!! Pwease? Oh no, no, no don't leave :( they look so cute together... will they ever see each other again? ""I guess so then, it would only be fair." He chuckled and pulled her closer, his mind making a detailed note of how her arms moved to wrap around his neck; one hand rested on his collarbone and the other arm was loosely around his neck. He was about to tell her that he was the only one doing the hugging when he was pulled even closer -if that was possible- by her arms." I loved this bit..~.

Ah, Dr.Cid will surely work on airships XDD first thing he will do when he reach Archades, is to built a fast one to go and return to and from Dalmasca to see Arya everytime he wish XDD

Yeah, Giza sun... right.

... poor Arya... :( I wonder what will happen next now, will she forget Cid? Ghah I am dying here! I wish you can update soon, I am really loving this!! :D sometimes, I miss a bit of descriptions, but that's just me, because I like them, maybe other readers or you do not like them, so it is really up to you :D Either way, this is one of my favourite stories because it surely brightens up my day! :D

*hugs*

I love your work. You have a knack for turning a phrase, and your storytelling skills are top-notch.

I thought the ticklish Basch was so wonderful, I have incorporated that into my own fic. I want 'Basch is ticklish as hell' to be fanon, dammit! You get credit for the tickle-thang on Friday when I update. (It took me a while to remember where the idea came from. I needed help from our fellow Basch\Ashe fans. Sorry. :D)

Thanks for seeding the idea, and for a great fic!

O SNAP. :D I finally started reading it! True, I'm only at the first chapter (I have to get busy doing real life things :P), but thus far I'm really curious. I'm trying to resist clicking the "next" button 'cause I really need to get to work... I'll wait 'til later tonight. ;) Can't wait!

Oh Akeri I swear each time you update I have to solemnly swear to never bring any drink to the computer, in fear of spliting it up XD LOL, I AM ALREADY LAUGHING!

"Why would I let you do that?" Basch said, almost tempted to put his hand on his hip. I've been around the princessand Arya too much." LOLOLOL 10XLOL. OMG I so missed your updates. Basch can feel a headache coming all right, I can totally imagine, Ashe is MENACE :D

"he noticed the chocobo snap it's head in his direction, it's large eye glaring at him."

... uh-oh.

LOL YE-HAW! OMG WHAT A SHOW! *leans back and reads, wishing for popcorns* wow, the roll on the ground must have HURT! XD poor poor Baach what are you doing with him? XP Manure?! Basch suffers more in your hands than in everyone else I know LOL! :D

I think that even that chocobo finds Basch handsome.

"A grin crept onto his face as he made sure the coast was clear before running to that shining glint of light." What, Balthier already fascinated with treasure. Hahaha!! Bright future in sky-pirating! W00t!! :D

"To land face to face with Arya, who he noted, stood in water that came up to her shoulders." O Hello Der! XD Poor Cid... now it is time for torturing Cid? :P

"she was severely lacking in the clothing department and he shouldn't be looking in her direction." ALL Vieras lack in the clothing department when normally clad... so apparently Arya was naked? XD Ok, Cid is being tortured alright. Though I bet he prefer something like this than being tossed back and forth by a mad red chocobo before landing on a pile of fresh manure LOL XD

"To have her hear what he said, would only get him injured more than a sore jaw." Arya would probably make him ride a red mad chocobo hehehehehhe XD *sorry*

ZOMG! KISS! Great moment! Oh that was so sweet! I was indeed rooting for those two! Amazing, awesome! :D

Wow, I love this story :D it's so light and fun to read! It totally made my day.

Oh that letter! XD OMG! I know!! I know! XD I'm so sorry for the waiting! XP

Don't follow my bad example and UPDATE SOON! :D

Another hilarious chapter. ^_^

I was laughing picturing Basch trying to stay on that bird! *LOL*

Aw...the things Ashe does to the poor man. Tee Hee.

I wonder what lil' Balthier is getting himself into now...

...and Cid and Arya...OH that's heating up a bit.

I love this story!

~Famke~

Aw, you credited me? Thanks so much. I did like the squeakiness!

Basch! It's a red chocobo! don't try and ride it! *LOL* Oh too late...he's in the poo poo now. I don't think he's going to be too happy with Ashe.

Will he eventually learn to say no to her? Or stand up to her? He will be the only person she'll listen to...if he makes her. I hope so.

And Cid! Well done! Well...that's if Arya doesn't kill you for kissing her!

And what has little Ffamran found?

As usual, this is an enjoyable read. Looking forward to the next chapter. XD
