(Comic drawn by ChaosCroc, idea and story below by me, art used with permission, writing not used with permission because I'm a douche and have denied myself the permission but I'm using it anyway, bwahahaha.
In short, this was meant to be a comic with text filled in but my means of adding text look ugly
. As for why Dagger and Zidane are stealing chocobos, maybe they're bored, maybe it's a AU where Dagger landed in Lindblum... Dagger certainly wasn't this skilled at magic in canon at least.)
It was quiet in the stables of the Alexandrian Cavalry that morning, only the occasional soft wark of a chocobo and the rattle of armour on patrolling soldiers making any noise.
Well, that, and the whispers of two non-soldiers.
"Okay, so now we have these disguses, we steal a chocobo," A feminine voice said.
"Yeah, but couldn't I get a different disguise?!" A male one hissed.
Dagger sighed, regarding Zidane as he fumed in the (female) soldier uniform.
"Tch, fine, hold still while I transform the clothes..."
A wave of her hand and the casting of a spell later, Zidane felt the soldier uniform re-arrange around him... and barely managed to keep his angry reply down.
"Dagger, what the hell?!"
"It's a different disguise..."
"It's a maid outfit!"
"You said different. You got different. Besides, you know how hard it is to transform clothes like that to such a good fit? And that's actually better, if a maid is going into town with a soldier escort it's like we've been sent to fetch something, two soldiers is actually kind of suspicious now I think about it..." Dagger tried to explain.
"It's not better! I am not crossdressing to get a chocobo, think of something else!" Zidane fumed.
"Okay then, let's try this..." Dagger waved her hand again.
"Wait a minute, what are you -GHA!"
***
A few moments later, a chocobo and rider emerged from the stables. The chocobo seemed annoyed, but the rider was amused, so none of the other soldiers gave them a second glance.
"And now, you're not crossdressing!" Dagger grinned.
Yeah, because now I'm a female chocobo... Zidane thought as (s)he unhappily warked.
