Chapter 1: The graceful klutz

"Baralai" A short blonde haired Al-Bhed girl said. The girl was talking to her older brother Gippal, and when he heard his friend's name he looked at her and blinked. He wasn't too sure what to say to her response to his question.

"Baralai.. As in my friend Baralai? That Baralai?" he asked her. "That's who you've been getting in trouble over, Sada? Why?" he asked with a blink.

Sada blushed and put her hands on her cheeks as a small smile spread from ear to ear. She let out a slight giggle and turned away from her brother. "isn't he the cutest and nicest guy you've ever met?" she said with another giggle as she spun on her toes and toppled over, hitting the ground hard. Gippal let out a slight laugh and helped her up.

"You have a crush on my friend? How long have you liked him?" Gippal asked.

"Ever since I saw you talking to him 2 years ago… and ever since I've been trying to get into Bevelle" Sada said " and it's not just a crush! I love him! With all my heart.. Can't you except that Gippy?" Sada said.

Gippal blinked and smiled at his sister "you know you-"

"I know I'm younger than you.. And I'm your baby sister.. But I'm not little anymore and I'm not that much younger than you" Sada said. "Who's helping you run the Machine Faction eh? Me! I am and I have so much work to do! I work here and in the desert and when I'm not doing that I'm either playing Blitz or practicing.. Or trying to get into Bevelle" Sada said as a look of thought appeared on her face.

"Don't hurt yourself, Nee-chan" Gippal said with a laugh "but Sada you can walk"

"Oh Gippy.. I just don't get why I can't get in.. I just want to see Baralai.. This one girl.. She had short purple hair she walked up past me.. She looked annoyed.. Gippy! I just want to see the man I love!" Sada said as she ran off dramatically into Djose temple. Gippal never got to finish what he wanted to say to his sister. This was nothing new and he didn't understand why he insisted on ever trying. What he was trying to tell her was she could walk into Bevelle without anything happening. Gippal just shook his head a bit and got back to his work.

Later that night when things had cooled down and the workers had gone home, Gippal walked up to Sada, who was sitting on the bridge and looking into the water. "Are you feeling better? Your spill in the temple was pretty nasty. You broke a lot of the machina" Gippal said as he looked at his sister, who had her head wrapped up.

Sada looked at Gippal and smiled " yea.. It was just a fall I've had worse. I'm sorry I didn't mean to break that much machina.. I didn't mean to break any at all.. I've got this monster head ache and I'm a little sleepy. I have a big Blitz game tomorrow, Gippy I want you to come see me play." Sada said as she looked back at the water, to see her reflection. She looked a bit flushed and a bit stupid with the wrap around her head. She let out a small sigh and laid her body down on her lap. "You don't have to come if you don't want to"

Gippal shook his head " I'll come. It's not right for me to always miss your games" He said as he put his foot on his leg and balanced on his left foot.

Sada looked up at her brother and smiled "I'm glad. I'm going to play my hardest for you Nii-san….. That sounds childish" She said with a slight laugh. She sat up "Before the game I'll fix the machina I broke. My game isn't until later tomorrow night anyway and that gives me plenty of time to tinker with it! OH! Speaking of which have you seen Fred?" Sada said as she swung her legs around and leap off of the edge of the bridge. "I haven't seen him all day.. Oh he's probably stuck somewhere" Sada said as she shook her head.

Gippal shook his head " I haven't seen him either." He said as Sada ran off to find him. Sada ran inside Djose temple and into the chamber of fate. She looked down the big hole.

"FRED!" she shouted in the hole as she lowered to her knees. A little flying machina (like Picket) came up quietly behind Sada. " FRED! ARE YOU DOWN THERE!" She shouted down the hole again.

"no I'm right behind you, Sada" Fred said. He scared Sada and she almost fell into the hole. With her eyes wide she looked up at Fred and snatched him from the air and held him close, with a smile on her face.

" I was worried Fred.. Where did you get off to?" She said as she let him go "but coming up behind me and scaring me like that is bad! I could have fallen in the hole."

Fred flew close to Sada's face " I was in here the whole time. I heard some crashes a few hours ago and when I came to find you, you were sleeping in one of the back rooms. Nee-san why do you have that wrap around your head? Were you the one who made all those crashes?" he asked her. For some reason he had always called his creator Nee-san (big sister).

Sada nodded and laughed sheepishly "yea.. I wasn't sleeping, Fred. I was knocked out.. I slipped and broke some machina. Gippy wasn't mad though.. Oh guess what! He said he was coming to my big match tomorrow, so you'll have someone to keep you company" Sada said as she stood up and walked out of the chamber of fate, carrying Fred in her arms. "So no sneaking back into the locker rooms like last time" Sada said as she walked down the stairs and stepped on the elevator and rode it down.

"aww.. Ok I'll be good this time I promise I was just lonely Nee-san" Fred said. Sada smiled at that and reached outside not too long after. "I won't peep this time I promise"

"Fred! You where peeping!" Sada said as she let him go and walked up to Gippal.

"It was at the girls I promise!" Fred said.

"Fred.. Oh Fred" Sada said as she shook her head and looked up at Gippal with a grin on her face "I found him. Can we go home now? I'm really tired." Sada said.

Reflecting on this chapter:

I was going to make this chapter longer but I thought that dragging it out would be too boring.. I wanted to put something that dealt with the chapter's title but I decided to leave it at the end of the day. What I mean by the Graceful Klutz is, is yes she's a klutz but she's graceful at the same time. How can that be? She's graceful when it comes to Blitz ball and tinkering with machina. Yes I know I had her fall and break a lot of machina but that doesn't make her any less graceful with messing around with it. Ok Fred oooo Fred I wanted Sada to have either some animal or a machina that followed her around all the time. So I came up with the idea to give her a thing like Picket from the game.. They're called watchers right? I can't remember right now ; if u know please leave the name in the review thingy.

At first I made Sada Rikku's cousin, but my friend and I came up with the idea that it'd be better if Sada was Gippal's sister and if her character was Baralai's sister and they were protective of their sisters. Sada already said that she liked Baralai. My friend's character likes Gippal.. I will have her in here later in the fic. I know that Gippal and Baralai are friends but if you think about it wouldn't you be protective if your sister or brother was dating one of your friends? It's not that you don't trust them it's just that you care about your siblings right? I'm not saying that you don't care about your friends either.. Oh forget it you know what I mean .
