About this story: The story takes place in Spira, in the time of Shuyin and Lenne. More specific, it takes place three years before they died. All events that happen in this story are my ideas on what happened. The story is told from Lenne's point of view, and she tells about her life, her friends, and how she gets together with Shuyin.
Prologue
"Shuyin! You must stop!" I shouted as I ran into the room. Looming above me was the Vegnagun, a very large and powerful machina. He stopped and turned around.
"Lenne!" was all he said. Then there was an awkward silence, which was broken by the sound of footsteps. I turn around. "We have to get out of here!" Shuyin warns. He comes down from the Vegnagun and grabs me by the hand.
"Huh?" I was confused. He dragged me out of the room and I tried to follow. We ran through a few halls with the soldiers chasing us. "Ah!" I fell down on the floor.
"Lenne!" Shuyin gasped. He picked me back up and we ran away from the soldiers again. We tried to lose them by going into another hall, but it was unsuccessful. We ended up back in the room with Vegnagun. We clench on to each other tightly.
No, I thought, and I turned to look at him. He looked back at me. From the look on his face, I could tell he was sorry. Sorry that he couldn't protect me. Sorry that he couldn't save me. I gave him a forgiving smile and tears came out. Then I felt a rush of pain. I gasped as I was shot, and I fell to the floor with Shuyin. I saw nothing after that.
Chapitre 1 :: A Summoner and Her Guardians
My name is Lenne. I live in Zanarkand, a place made up of many machina. I am a summoner and a songstress. Since summoners don't do much nowadays, I decided to become a songstress. Now I am popular in Zanarkand, but popularity doesn't mean much to me.
"Miss Lenne, may I get your autograph?" a kid says as he runs up to me.
"Surely," I reply, and hand him my autograph.
"Wow, thank you so much!" the kid says, then runs away. I smile.
I became a songstress to entertain the people of Zanarkand. There wasn't much competition in the music world, since most people were playing blitzball. It makes me happy to know that I bring joy to the world, making them happy with my talents.
"Hey Lenne!" Two distant figures shout out to me. I wave back.
"Hey Rosari! Hey Samuto!" I shouted back.
Rosari and Samuto are my friends and guardians. Rosari is a Ronso from Bevelle. He has been my friend ever since I was 6. He's also very talkative. Samuto is an Al Bhed. Rosari and I met her when I was 13. At first she tried to steal from us, but then we became close friends. She has taught me how to speak Al Bhed. I'm pretty good at it.
"Didja see Shuyin today?" Rosari asked as they stopped in front of me.
"Yeah! He was knayd!" Samuto says. "Oops. I mean great!"
"Really?" I ask. "Aw, I missed it!" I frown a little, and then I smile again. "Well, now I have a chance to talk to him!"
"Yeesh," Samuto says. "Why don't you just tell him already that you like him?"
"It's not that easy," I reply. "Or in your language, ed'c hud dryd ayco."
"Well, here's your chance," Rosari says, "because here he comes!"
"Hey Lenne!" Shuyin says, running up to me. I smile back at him.
Shuyin is another one of my guardians. I met him recently at a blitzball game. He saved me from a fiend. He is a famous blitzball player of the Zanarkand Abes. He is currently #1 on the rankings. But that's not the reason why he's one of my guardians. He's my guardian because we became friends almost instantly and he is a very good bodyguard. And I think he's kinda cute.
"Hey," I say to him. "So how was your game? Sorry I couldn't see it."
"You missed it? It was the greatest game ever! Let me tell you all about it! So it starts off like this..."
He tells me about the game as the four of us walk down the road. We stop at a restaurant and order something to eat. At times we were interrupted by some of my fans and the 'Shuyin Is The Sexiest Man Alive Girls' (SITSMAG).
"...and that's how we won!" Shuyin ends his story.
"Yay!" Rosari says. "Shuyin finally ended his story!"
"Shut up," Shuyin says, punching Rosari lightly on the arm.
"Hey!" Rosari replies and does the same. I laugh at them.
"Come on Lenne, mad'c ku yht mayja dras dra pemm!" Samuto says.
"Alright," I get out of my seat. "Shuyin, Rosari, pay the bill, please?" I head to the door with Samuto behind me.
"Wait!" Shuyin says. "Argh...this is your fault!"
"No, it's yours," Rosari replies. They stare at each other angrily.
"Rock, Paper, Scissors?" Shuyin suggests.
"You're on!" Rosari replies.
"1...2...3...GO!" They both shout, forming shapes with their hands.
"Ha! Paper beats Rock!" Rosari laughs, then tosses Shuyin the bill.
"Dammit," Shuyin says, pulling out his wallet. I feel sorry for him.
"Wait," I say as I run back to Shuyin. "I'll pay for it. You've paid the last 3 times you lost."
"No, it's alright," Shuyin replies.
"But you're broke!" I say to him and point at his floppy wallet.
"Um...heh...fine then," Shuyin says, "you can pay the bill."
"Here you go," I hand the bill and gil to the waiter who served us. "Thank you!" We decided to head to my house and call it a day.
The next day, we all headed to Luca for Shuyin's blitzball game. It's a very special game, he says. It's called the Royal Champions Blitz Tournament. All the best teams come from around Spira to participate. The winning team in the end gets bragging rights for the next 3 years, and will move on to the Grand Final Showdown XXI. Shuyin's team, the Zanarkand Abes, has been winning many games this season. I hope he moves on to the showdown.
"Good luck!" I shouted to Shuyin from the bleachers.
"They're up against the Besaid Aurochs. This might be a tough game," Samuto tells me. "Besaid has been doing pretty good this season."
"Don't worry about it," Rosari reassures me. "With Shuyin there, he'll kick Auroch butt!"
"I sure hope so," I reply.
I didn't really pay attention to the game from that point on. I only noticed Shuyin. The way he moves in the dome so freely. It was like he was the water in there. He danced around in the dome like a leaf in the wind. He was so carefree. He didn't play the game to win; he played the game to have fun. His body flowed around happily as it dodged other players and passed the ball.
"And that's the game, folks!" a voice booms through the speakers.
"...Huh?" I looked around, slightly confused.
"Wow! That was a great game! Lenne, didja see how Shuyin barely made the final score?" Rosari says to me.
"...What" He did?" I say dumbfoundedly.
"You missed it?! It was so cool!" Samuto tells me. "I can't believe you weren't paying attention!"
"Sorry...I guess I kinda zoned out..." I reply.
Blitzball doesn't excite me that much. I guess it's because everyone's into it, and I'm not a person who follows trends often.
"Well, let's go down there to congratulate the Abes!" Rosari says, grabbing me by the arm and running towards the locker entrance. Samuto follows behind us.
"Whoa!" I try to keep my balance as I try to run with Rosari. Samuto laughs everytime I'm about to fall over. As we reach the locker room, Rosari slows down a little. I keep on running to see Shuyin. We stop in front of the locker room.
"Lenne, you go in," Samuto says. "We'll wait for you guys out here."
"Alright," I say. I quiety open the door and enter. All the members of the team look right at me then surround me.
"Hey, it's the singer Lenne!"
"Did you watch our game?"
"Can I get your autograph?"
?"Hi! Yes, I loved the game! Sure, here you go!" I try to keep up with all their questions.
"Okay guys, calm down." I hear a familiar voice. I see Shuyin in the back of the room.
"Shuyin!" I smile. "Excuse me." I escape the horde of players and run up to Shuyin and hug him. "You were great today!" I pulled myself up and kissed him.
Wait, what did I just do? I thought as I let go of him. He doesn?t even know that I like him! I don?t even know if he likes me! Oh no, how will he respond?
I hope you enjoyed reading the story! Please review! This is the first fanfic I?ve written, so please give me all the constructive criticism you can. Thanks for reading!
