Disclaimer: I own nothing except Magic and Ryder, although I don't own his origins.

A/N: Hey. This is my first Final Fantasy story. I haven't exactly played X-2 yet, so I'm not sure if Yuna and Tidus get together at the end. I just assumed they did. If they didn't, which is a definite possibility, please do not tell me. It would ruin the whole thing, and I would have to personally kill you. So, please, don't say anything is not supposed to be like something or whatever. I know I probably have some stuff wrong. Which is why I'm putting as little as possible about Yuna and Tidus. Sorry it's so short, but it's only the prologue. The real chapters will be tons longer, Hope you like it, anyway. If you don't, don't read it. Flames are accepted. I'm freezing right now and am too lazy to get a blanket, so I would really love a flame to warm me up.

Final Fantasy XIII: The Last War

Prologue

Magic December Rain yawned as she got out of bed. Her parents were currently out on a business trip and wouldn't be there for two weeks, but she didn't care. Magic hated her parents. They were never around, first of all, and whenever they were, they would completely ignore her. Her parents were extremely rich, so their servants and maids took care of Magic when they were away. Not that Magic needed taking care of. She had her own car, her own job, and her own life. She was 17, currently, and had plenty of friends, although she wasn't really popular. The "popular" kids in her old high school weren't mean to her; they just pretty much ignored her. Magic had never been in a certain "group." She was just friends with whoever would talk with her, usually other misfits like herself.

Magic didn't really have real friends, however. Sure, they would make great friends…if she trusted them. See, Magic was a very untrusting person. She had grown up with her cold parents, and had learned never to trust or get close to someone. Whenever you find someone who isn't able to get close with someone, you always assume someone hurt him or her, badly. Not the case with Magic. She hated her parents, sure, but it wasn't the hate where she actually loved them, deep down inside somewhere. This wasn't a book. It wouldn't end with "and so Magic's parents learned to love, and they lived happily ever after." No, there was no love for them deep down inside. Only hate, as it had been for as long as she could remember. Magic had never been in a relationship with anybody. Nobody had ever even asked her out before, which was strange, as she was pretty, with her long red hair with the two thick braids she always kept on in the front, with the rest of her hair down, and her stormy grey eyes. Magic guessed it was because she was completely invisible. She knew she was, no matter what anybody else may say. She didn't really care: it was a fact. People never noticed her, not really. Sure, she had friends, but it was kinda hard not to become friends with the people she had sat with at lunch since 9th grade (she was now 17, having just finished her senior year a week ago). She was even invisible to her friends, really. She knew she was. There were always these things that would happen that showed she was invisible. Like the time she was at the bowling alley with her friends, and they were all wondering where she was, and she was right in front of them the whole time. Or the time they completely forgot about having to pick her up for school one morning when her car was in the shop for a couple days (the bus no longer came to her house, as she never used it). There was a new instance every day that proved she was invisible. Magic didn't mind, though. It didn't matter. Nothing in her life mattered, really.

Magic shook her head and walked down stairs after changing her pajamas into some clean clothes, which were some black pants and a red t-shirt with an alien on it doing the jig.

However, when she entered her living room, she froze. There were two people currently occupying her living room.

"Who the hell are you?" she asked them sharply. She knew they were not her parents' friends, or new maids. Her parents would never associate with people like this.

The man had white-blond hair, with clear blue eyes. He was wearing weird clothes, which Magic recognized as the clothes Tidus wore in Final Fantasy X. He even looked like Tidus, and, though he was older, was just as hot (yes, Magic thought a game character was hot - you should see him in good graphics!).

The other was a woman with short brown hair, with one green eye and one blue eye. She was wearing the outfit Yuna wore in Final Fantasy X-2, the one with half a skirt. She even looked like Yuna. Weird.

"Oh, I'm sorry," the Yuna look-alike said. "For barging into your house like this. I'm Yuna, and this is Tidus."

"Hey," Tidus greeted Magic, nodding his head toward her.

No way. This was not happening. These were just two weirdos, pretending to be her two favourite characters in the Final Fantasy series. Yet they looked so much like Tidus and Yuna…Magic shook her head. It was impossible. She glared at the couple, who were both sitting together on a couch and holding hands.

"Yeah right," she scoffed. "Like I'm s'posed to believe that."

"I knew you would not believe us," Yuna said, nodding.

"Then why did you say that crap?" Magic shot.

"Because it is important," spoke up Tidus. "You have to do something for us."

"I'm not doing anything for you two except showing you to the door," Magic said, glaring daggers at so-called Tidus and Yuna.

"You have to find Ryder, our son, and find a way to bring him and us back to Spira," Tidus continued, ignoring Magic. "We were separated by the evil witch Leandrisa. You are the only one who can bring us together again and defeat Leandrisa."

Magic was about to open my mouth to order them out of the house, when Yuna spoke again. "Seek Ryder. He will help. Tidus and I cannot go to Zaria, as Leandrisa blocked everyone here on Earth from going to any other world. I am not sure why, but you are the only one here who can travel through worlds. You cannot have other people travel through worlds, however. Only Leandrisa can do that. Find her, and find a way to make her bring Ryder, Tidus, and I back to Spira. We have not seen our son in 10 years. We must see him again. We have spent these 10 years figuring out a way to bring us together again, and we have finally found a way. You must help us. Now, touch my staff and think hard of the Ryder. Just say Ryder, son of Yuna and Tidus, over and over again in your head, and you will be transported to him. Do it. We will not leave otherwise."

Magic rolled her eyes and groaned. These people were obviously crazy. However, she decided to do as the Yuna-impostor said, just to make them go away.

So she walked up to her staff, touched it, and thought Ryder, son of Yuna and Tidus, Ryder, son of Yuna and Tidus, oh this is so stupid…Ryder, son of Yuna and Tidus, expecting nothing to happen. Expecting the weird people in front of her to sigh and walk away. However, she did not expect to open her eyes to find one green eye and one blue eye staring back at her…the eyes being connecting to a face that was decidedly not the Yuna lady's eyes.
