A couple of months left before the school year comes to an end, the teachers and their students have decided to go to the Summer festival that will be taking place in Zanarkand for the end of the school year trip. It would be a one week trip, with the spas and everything the students can dream of. The school bell rings signaling the end of the school day, as all the students began to crowd out.
"Yunie! Are you going to go on the trip?" asked her cousin Rikku excitedly.
"Oh, umm…" It is so expensive, I can't afford it, Yuna thought to herself. "Well…"
"Well?" bugged Rikku while hopping around with excitement.
"I don't think I'll be going," replied Yuna grimly while she stares at the ground.
"Aww… why not? It won't be fun! I'm going to be all by myself. Please Yunie?" Rikku clasped her hand pleading with her puppy dog face.
"I would love to but I can't afford it? My dad just lost his job and we're not so financially secured. Anyways, you're not going to be by yourself, Gippal will be going. Why don't you get him to be your partner?" Yuna gave Rikku a mischievous stare.
"Yunie! SHHHH! Someone might here you!"
"Okay, well, I have to go home now. I'll see you tomorrow okay, Rikku?"
"Okay, see you tomorrow, Yunie!"
Yuna watched Rikku hop away excitedly. The trip sounds so fun… if only I can go. Oh well, there is always next year, I guess… Yuna began walking home. She doesn't live too far from school, so there is no point in driving, and plus it gives her time to think and gather her thoughts when she's alone. She also doesn't mind the fresh air. As she came up to the cross light, she pressed on the crosswalk button and waited to cross the street.
Meanwhile, Tidus was rushing to the blitzball game. Wow, wouldn't that be nice, the captain of the team late for their first blitzball game of the season. Tidus thought to himself. Seeing that he only has 5 minutes left to get to the game, he began picking up speed in his Porsche.
The flashing hand changed, as Yuna began crossing the street. From around the corner she heard screeching tires, and out came this speeding Porsche heading directly towards her. She just froze, as her eyes open wide in shock. Oh my god, I am going to die! Yuna's mind was screaming to herself.
Tidus looked up just in time to see a figure walk right in front of his car from the right. He swerved to the left and came to a screeching halt right in front of the light pole. "Phew, lucky I didn't hit it. SHIT! I am going to be late after all."
Tidus got out of the car to make sure his baby wasn't hurt, and then he turned around and looked at the brunette that he almost road kill. "HEY! What's the big deal? Are you crazy? Do you have a death wish? Why the hell did you walk out in front of me!"
Yuna, still in shock, stared at the blondie. What the hell is he yelling at me for! That idiot almost killed me, and now he's blaming me? Argghh! This so pisses me off! "What? I am not crazy, you stupid idiot! You're the crazy one, you almost ran me over! I don't think that driving 100mph down a local street is safe! For your information, pedestrian have the right away you idiot and plus, you were about to run a red light!" shouted Yuna.
"Excuuusssee me, crazy woman, but I don't have time to stand here all day and bicker with you. I have a life, unlike you, who was trying to get yourself killed!"
"Ugghh! You asshoe! For the record I wasn't trying to kill myself! You're the idiot that almost ran me over!" Yuna figured this isn't getting anywhere if this stupid blonde wasn't going to admit that it was his fault. "Fine, whatever… Just better drive BETTER and SAFER next time. If I catch you doing that again I'm going to report you to the police for trying to mow down a pedestrian and running a red light."
Finally, she stopped talking! Tidus was saying to himself. He looked at his watch, "SHIT! I'm running REALLY late." He made his way around his car and took off even faster than before.
"Ugh! That idiot! He didn't even listen to what I said. If only I knew his name, I would turn him into the police. That freakin' idiot!" Yuna said to herself. "Well, no use in it now. At least I came out fine."
"I'm home, Dad!" Yuna called out as she arrived home.
"In here," said Braska from the kitchen.
Yuna entered the kitchen as her dad hunch over the kitchen table. He looked so worn out, and his eyes were all red. "Are you okay, Dad?"
"Yeah… I'm… fine," he nodded.
"That doesn't sound like you're fine. Dad, tell me what's wrong. Maybe I can help you," Yuna said looking at her dad worriedly.
At that remark, her Dad sat up straight and said, "Anything?"
"If I can… that is. Why?" Yuna replied awkwardly to her dads weird answer.
"Okie, honey, I guess I'll have to break it to you. There is no other way in how I'm going to say this, but… you remember by old friend Jecht?"
"Not really, you've only told me stories about you two and showed me pictures."
"Well… I'm sort of in a predicament right now…"
"What did you do Dad?" Yuna asked not liking what he is saying.
"You see… I borrowed 100,000 from him to invest in some stocks, and… well… the stock blew over, soo… now I'm in a bit of a pickle."
"That's it?"
"Well… there's more. You see, I've been borrowing money, too much to be exact, from Jecht and now I'm in debt to him."
"He's your friend, Dad. How bad can it get?"
"Well…" Braska looked away from her as he said, "He wants the money back. He sees that everytime I borrow money from him, it goes into nothing good and I haven't paid him back a dime… so, now he wants something as collateral."
"Well, what does he want?"
"Well… How can I put this…? I told him that I would offer him…" Braska said as he turned around to look at Yuna.
Yuna got up and back away from the table, shaking her head, "No…"
Her dad nodded yes as he watches her back away. "It's not what it sounds like; you won't be his mistress or anything. I just told him that you can work for him to slowly pay off the debt that I owe him and that I'll find a job to help pay it off as well."
"No, Dad… What about school? What am I suppose to do?"
"Don't worry honey. We've made an arrangement. You'll move into their mansion and work there, and you'll get a ride to and from school every day."
"No way… I don't believe this… This is a joke right, Dad?" Her dad nodded his head no, and Yuna just felt like the world came tumbling down onto her shoulders.
"Honey, don't worry okay, you'll still get to see me. It's not as if you're moving thousands of miles away and we're never going to see each other again. We'll just be living in different household, temporarily."
Yuna couldn't believe what she was hearing, or more or less, what her dad has gotten her into.
"Honey, please go and pack your bags. The chauffer would be here soon to pick you up."
"What? I'm leaving already? But…"
"No buts, young lady. Just go into your room and pack, okay?" Braska said trying to sound stern and strict as he watch Yuna leave to her room.
As she departs, she gives her dad a big hug, "I'll miss you, Dad. Come by and visit okay?"
"Okay."
Yuna got into the limousine and looked out the window at her dad until she couldn't see him anymore.
They arrived as Jecht's estate. It was a breath-taking view for Yuna. His mansion is huge, with the nice green lawn, and a fountain in the middle of the driveway in front of the mansion. There was a pathway that leads to the lake with cherry blossom trees along both sides of the path. You can see the tennis courts and all the wonderful things a rich person can own and buy.
As Yuna got out of the car, one of the butlers came out and took her bags in, while one of the maids showed her to her room. It was a magnificent room, almost as big as her house, itself. The walls were of a crimson red, with white draperies on the windows. She had walk-in closet, but it's not like she needs one, or need all that much room. She even has her own bathroom. Yuna jumped on her bed and laid down on it. "Ahh…. I can probably get used to this, I guess."
There was a light knock on her door, and Yuna got up to answer it. It was one of the maids, who were told to give her a tour around the mansion and give her all the rules and regulations of the mansion.
They spent about 2 hours just touring the mansion. It was so big, even with the tour, Yuna will probably get lost anyways. It'll probably take a couple of days to get used to the place. "Now, Miss Yuna…"
"Just call me Yuna, please," Yuna said as she gave the maid warm smile.
"Okay, Yuna. Um… Please go upstairs and wash up for dinner. It'll be served at 7pm, don't be late."
Yuna entered her room, wondering what has her dad got her into. What will she be doing while in this household. It seems like they already have all the maid and butlers they needed. Maybe she'll just become a maid like the rest. I guess it's okay, a job is a job. Yuna made her way to the bathroom and washed up a bit. She didn't really know what else to do. She looked in the mirror, checking her appearance before going downstairs to dinner.
When she got downstairs, she heard three male voices and someone seems really loud and happy. She didn't want to interrupt but she didn't want to be late for dinner so she waited a bit. Listening in on the conversation she heard that someone won the blitzball game. Well, I guess the conversation is over, I might as well go in, Yuna thought as she entered the dining room.
Jecht looked up and saw Yuna enter and gave her a smile. "Guys I would like you guys to meet Yuna. She'll be staying here for a while helping us out."
Yuna saw both blonde heads turn around and she was shocked to see a familiar face.
"It's you!" Yuna and Tidus both shouted at each other.
This is my first fanfic ever. It sounds a lot better in my head, but when I type it down, it sounds sort of corny, or I can't seem to get the right words. Please review and let me know what you guys think.
