"Let's see... So I have...5 this week?" Zidane said with a smirk. I shook my head in disbelief, "Yeah, I bet... Name them all!" He paused for a moment, "OK fine. There's Kate, Gabriella, Ashley... Uhm..." I laughed, "Aha! See? So I have beaten you with a score of 4 to 3!" Zidane growled as he went down the pole of the theatre ship, "Mhmm, you name all of them!" I followed him down as I grinned, "Well, there's Dan, Josh, Ryan, AND Kenny! So HA!!" All there was was silence and I started to laugh again, "Relax Zidane! It's OK to admit that I'm better than you!"
We walked into a pitch dark room and Zidane went in the middle of the room to light a candle, "Yeah, so what? I'll get you next week, Rikku!" Then, as Zidane lit the candle, someone in the next room yelled, "Who's there?!" Zidane laughed and I smiled, "It's us, Zidane and Rikku!" The door opened to reveal Cinna, Marcus, and Blank. We all did the Tantalus sign and Cinna sighed, "Wow guys, you sure are late. What were you yelling about anyways?" I laughed, "Oh, we were just seeing who had the most dates this week!" I saw Blank turn red, "Really? So, w-who won?" Before I could say anything, Zidane yelled, "Me!" I smacked Zidane across the head, "You dirty liar! I won! Uhm, anyway, is Boss here yet?" Marcus shook his head, "Nope. Good thing too, or else you guys would have gotton in trouble for being late." I scratched my head when all of a sudden, the door opens to reveal a guy in a dragon mask. He jumped down the stairs and "roared". I took out my rod, as Zidane took out his daggers, Blank and Marcus took out their swords, and Cinna took out his hammer. We all got into battle position and got ready to attack.
Blank, Marcus, Cinna, and Zidane all took their turns attacking while I healed and revived them with my white magic. Occassionally, my magic would run out and Blank would throw me an ether. He was always the one to help me when I was weak, and I respect him for that. Now and then, when the "dragon" would go to attack, he would trip and fall and make a familiar yell of pain. It was then when I saw the Mage Masher dagger on its belt. Zidane saw it too and we both competed to get it. All we ended up getting was a normal dagger and a potion. We both gave up when suddenly Blank went in and stole the Mage Masher. Zidane and I were shocked that he got it so easily and angry that he got it at all. Blank looked at me and gave me this look of saying sorry and I just laughed as he turned red. Was it obvious enough that he liked me? I used to like him, but he's almost like my brother; it would never work.
Finally, I took my turn to attack. Normally, rods aren't very strong and don't do much damage. But, my strength is just amazing that a rod or raquet's damage doubles, sometimes even triples. Yep, I'm that awesome. I went to attack the "dragon" and I got a critical hit when all of a sudden, the mask split in half and the man was revealed to be Baku, our boss! We all collapsed from tiredness and Baku just laughed his annoying laugh, "Hey fools! You're getting alot better! Bwahahaha!" Then, he entered the next room and we all followed. Baku started, "Yeah, you guys were good out there, but don't get cocky! We have a very important mission at stake!" Cinna inturrupted, "OK, I'll take it from here so listen up! In a few minutes, this theatre ship is gonna land at Alexandria Castle and we're gonna perform for Princess Garnet's 16th birthday and put on the play 'I Want To Be Your Canary'. So break a leg, Marcus; you're playing the lead part."
Marcus stood up, "Yeah, but Zidane, Blank, and Rikku are gonna be the real kiddnappers." Blank laughed alittle, "Well, Rikku and I are the distractions; Zidane's the one who's actually doing the kidnapping." I put a fist into the air, "Yeah! Just leave everything to me and Blank! *takes out oglop from pocket and shivers* Gosh, I hate oglops, but I'll just give them all to Blank, so don't worry about us!" Blank frowned, "But I hate oglops too!" I put on an innocent face, "But you're my savior... I need you to protect me..." Blank turned 50 shades of red, "Yeah,uh,well... ANYWAY, Zidane--me and Rikku will unleash the oglops and that will be your cue." Zidane nodded, "That's when I kidnap Princess Garnet, right?" Baku chuckled, "That's right! You're gonna kidnap the most babalicious hottie in all of Alexandria--Princess Garnet!" I sweatdropped, "Somehow, that sounds really illegal when you say it Boss..."
