Well, Ventious is gone, which leaves me completely speechless. I thought for sure he'd be the winner.

Oh well, I'm smiling a bit because Ventious is the first member of the jury. So, :iconbttman:, congratulations on Ventious making it this far.

And now, Vent's fanfiction dedication...

"Make sure to push yourself up firmly on its back," Sazh was lecturing. "You don't want to kick its wings accidentally while mounting or else you're in for a nasty shock."

Hope was eying the Chocobo speculatively, and then raised his arms in attempt to reach the Chocobo's back. "I don't think that's going to work..."

"We could make you a step-ladder," Snow jibbed, patting Hope's head condescendingly. "You could share with Vanille."

"Hey!" The girl in in question protested. "I can mount my own Chocobo, thank you very much! Better than you!"

"Try a running start," Fang said. "Jump before you reach it. Ain't nothing to it."

"Make sure to jump before you run smack into the Chocobo," Snow joked.

"And don't kick its wings!" Sazh added. "You should try to settle your legs under its wings, so that it can still move as it wants."

Hope looked toward Lightning for direction, and she nodded. "Remember learning to jump the trees in the Gapra Whitewood?" She told him quietly. "I'll help you through."

At this, the Chocobo in front of them warbled in agitation, flapping its wings wildly for a moment and taking a few steps back, snapping its beak before settling. Lightning and Snow exchanged a short look as Fang exclaimed, "Whoa! You're a wild one, ain'tcha?"

And now, the story continues...

This looks pretty good so far!
