A/N: Well this is just an experiment, so please bear with me throughout it. This is a crossover between FFX and Wicked the musical.
If you look up a little bit on the musical Wicked starring Idina Menzel and Kristen Chenoweth, it will give you a better insight to what will happen in this story. Rikku would be the equivalent of Glinda the good witch and Yuna would be Elphaba (the wicked witch of the west.)
And please don't give me any flames. If you don't like my story, that's fine. You can tell me that but it would help me so much if you would tell me what you don't like about it so I can improve.
Please review!! Just to warn you, this chapter is just an introductory chapter and not a lot of action will happen. We'll be introducing the characters. Not every chapter will be a monologue by Rikku the whole time.
Disclaimer: I do not own the Final Fantasy characters, plots, or ideas just as I don't own Wicked/Wizard of Oz characters, plots, and ideas. This is purely fan-made for fun.

Prologue: Fame, Fame, Glory
Rikku sighed bitterly as she looked around herself. Everyone was bubbling with excitement, but she wasn't. It was strange. Wouldn't you think that Rikku the Good would be excited that the hated one of all Spira was finally gone?
Yes it was true. Yuna, the Wicked Enchantress was finally gone. It had taken a little girl, Callie, from Zanarkand to finally vanquish her. All of Spira was in the midst of celebrating the glorious defeat. Shouldn't she, Rikku the protector of all Spira, be happy that she was finally gone? After all, they were bitter enemies.
It was a bit strange that Maester Seymour had departed on the same day as Yuna. The whole world was bubbling with gossip and idle chatter about what had happened to their great Maester. Maester Seymour was the one who had pulled the suffering civilization from their endless spiral of death and decay. He had made the world a whole new place, a wonderful place like it had been years before!
And Lulu was gone too. Yuna's sister Lulu had been the Wicked Enchantress of Guadosalam, where she had all the Guados under the control of her finger. Callie had gotten her as well, leaving nothing but her ruby red slippers hanging off of her body. Callie had then taken them, under Rikku's aid and started her journey to Bevelle for Maester Seymour to help her.
Rikku couldn't believe that her Yunie was gone.
And you thought they weren't friends. We'll save that for later.
As Rikku sat off in her misery, wondering what was going to happen next, some people of Spira came to greet her.
"Rikku! Rikku!" one of them shouted. "Is it really true that Yuna is gone?"
"Yes, it is true!" Rikku exclaimed, putting a smile on her face. "Fellow people of Spira, I am so happy to announce that she is finally gone!"
Cheers were shot from the audience. They were all so happy! After all, why wouldn't they be?
"Isn't it so nice to know that even in the end, good will always conquer evil?" More cheers were heard, echoing throughout the huge temple city of Bevelle.
"No one mourns the Wicked!" a person in the crowd shouted. Cheers again. They pained Rikku's heart to hear, but she knew she had to be strong and pretend like she hated Yuna. This was her job and she had to do a good job at it.
"She was a lonely girl," Rikku continued. "And she died alone. Don't you think that's definitely something to celebrate about? If you're wicked, you'll only end up on your own in the end. I think that's a comfort to know. Through her life, our children will learn how they lose everything when they mess up."
Cheers erupted yet again. Rikku knew that this was probably going to become a national holiday of some sort.
"However," Rikku began again, grabbing the audience's attention, "Do you believe that she was born wicked? Or was it just thrust upon her? She had a normal life, at first. Her mother and father loved her very much, like I'm assuming all of yours do as well. From the moment she was born, however, she was... well, different."
The crowd was completely silent as Rikku continued her speech.
"It wasn't easy growing up, that's for sure." This part wasn't something she was supposed to do. In the nicest way possible she was supposed to slam on Yuna as much as possible, not try to tell the truth. Why if her superiors ever found out, she would be toast!
"Rikku!" someone screamed from the audience. "Was it true you were her friend?"
There were gasps coming out now and Rikku couldn't believe they had found her out. She quickly tried to cover up her mistake.
"Well, it depends on what you mean by friend," she said calmly. "I did know her. We did go to school together..."
Rikku knew that this was not going to be good.

End Prologue
Chapter One: Welcome to Shiz
Yuna smiled as she walked in with her older sister, Lulu. They were finally here! This had been her goal for years, to finally gain enough things to put on her application to Shiz, the prestigious school where she now attended. If you could call it attending, however. She had got in on pure luck. They needed someone to help take care of Lulu, who had her disabilities. Lulu had anger issues, that was one of her few problems, along with being paralyzed from the wait down due to the fact that her mother hadn't eaten properly during pregnancy.
Lulu needed help and upon her acceptance, her father Braska had arranged that Yuna come along to help her older sister.
Let's just say Braska, the ruler of Guadosalam, didn't have much liking to his people or his daughter. You see, Yuna wasn't exactly normal. She had bi-colored eyes, which was something that he wasn't proud of. One was a piercing green while the other was an ocean blue. She also had some pigment problems with her skin, causing parts of it to be white. Yuna also got in trouble a lot as a child, so he didn't particularly like her that much.
Lulu was his almost perfect child. She was always well behaved, had friends, and except for her disability, perfect in his eyes. She was always the baby, although she was older.
"Lulu, look!" Yuna exclaimed as she pointed to the hallowed halls of the university. "We're finally here!"
"I know, Yuna," Lulu muttered, her tone full of annoyance. "We would have been here sooner if you hadn't decided to come off the train and sightsee the whole time! We're probably late for check in!"
Lulu had a problem with her little sister. They didn't get along the greatest. Yuna admired her older sister while Lulu just thought Yuna was a pest.
She kind of was.
"I'm sorry, Lulu. I've never been out of Guadosalam before, so this is really exciting!" Yuna gushed, jumping up and down in happiness.
Lulu rolled her eyes at her sister as a man wearing a red uniform walked up. "You must be Lulu," he said in a gruff voice. "I'm Mr. Auron, the headmaster of this school." They shook hands as Yuna watched, hoping to be acknowledged. She wasn't usually. With Lulu's extraordinary beauty and her disability combined, all eyes were on her.
Lulu was really beautiful, though. Yuna couldn't deny that. She had long, sleek black air that ran down to the seat of her wheelchair. It was separated into thin braids that shined with every passing glint of sunlight. Her eyes were a piercing dark brown, almost black and she had pale skin that clashed with her dark wardrobe.
"Yes, sir, I'm Lulu. Could you please show me to my room, sir?" Lulu asked in her most polite voice. Yuna just stood, waiting to be acknowledged.
"Yes, right away. I have you booked in a handicapped accessible room that is close to my office. My own personal secretary, Paine, has been given the chance to room with you. She will help you with anything you could ever possibly need."
Yuna chose that moment to interrupt. "Um, sir? May I please inquire... what about me?"
Auron turned to the rather ordinary looking girl and looked her up and down. "May I ask who you are?"
"Oh, I'm Yuna. I'm Lulu's younger sister. My father must have mentioned something about me to you. I was let in to help Lulu with everything she would ever need."
"Hm, well I must have overlooked that."

While Yuna and Sir Auron were talking, a short skinny blond girl dressed in spectacular clothing walked in. She was Rikku, the girl with one thing in mind. Popularity. Oh, and of course to take the sorcery seminar.
"Hello everybody!" She shouted in her high pitched voice! "My name is Rikku! I'm sure we'll all become wonderful friends!" She smiled and made a pose that a model might have made. She could have been that model if she wanted to. People started to gather around Rikku and talk to the beautiful girl. Rikku beamed. She was already popular.
"So everyone, I can't believe I got a private dorm!"
"What?" someone asked her. "How'd you pull that off?"
"Simple," Rikku said, smiling. "My father requested it and it was done!"
"Wow," another girl said. "You're lucky."
"Don't worry! You can all come visit me anytime!"
There were murmurs in the crowd about how nice she was. Rikku then noticed Sir Auron and ran up to him.
"Sir Auron! I am Rikku from the Bikanel Desert! I'm assuming you read my essay about sorcery and the topic, 'Magic Wands: Are They More Than Show?'. I'm applying for your seminar this semester."
"That's great Rikku, but I'll have you know that I don't teach that seminar very often. I only teach it when someone extraordinary comes along."
Rikku smiled. This was her chance. She struck a pose and said, "Well, exactly!"
Auron did not look amused.
"Miss Rikku, if I may ask, could you please wait while I talk to one of my other students about rooming?"
Rikku nodded and bit her lip, not wanted to be rude.
Two girls came up to talk to the popular new girl.
"Rikku, do you want to hang out tonight?" One asked her.
She nodded and smiled. "Why of course! I love to meet new people! What would the two of you like to do?"
The other girl smiled back and said, "Well, we really don't care. Do you have any preferences?"
"Why I would love to go out and explore the surrounding area! Is that okay?" she asked the two.
They both nodded and smiled.
"So what classes are you in, Rikku?" the smaller of the two girls asked.
"Well, I'm taking Baralai's class, Nooj's class, and Gippal's class. What I really want to do is take Sir Auron's sorcery seminar!" Rikku's eyes glowed at the very thought.
"You'll get in for sure!" the taller girl exclaimed.
"Yeah!" the other girl chimed in.
"I don't even think he read my essay!" Rikku complained. "That is so not fair!"
"You should say something!" the taller girl motioned.
"Yeah, I think I will!"
Rikku decided to interject at the worst possible time.
"Well, Yuna, I'll ask one of these girls if they would be willing to share a room with you."
"But, I'm responsible for Lulu's care!" Yuna protested.
"Which one of you girls would like to share a room with Yuna?" There was silence for a few moments except for the idle chatter going around.
"Sir Auron, I-" Rikku interjected, somehow volunteering herself for the job.
"Then it's settled. Thank you Rikku, for your generosity!"
"Wait, what?" Rikku asked, suddenly confused. "What are you talking about?"
As Sir Auron started to leave, taking Lulu with him, Yuna couldn't take it anymore. "Wait!" Yuna yelled. "I'm responsible for Lulu's care and I don't want to see it any other way!" The sky turned dark as the young girl fumed. "Give my sister back!" Lulu's chair spun around and wheeled back around to Yuna's feet.
"Yuna! You said you wouldn't do this!" Lulu hissed through her teeth.
Rikku was oblivious to the whole scene. "Wait, you guys... what is he thanking me for?"
The shorter girl muttered, "Meet your new roomie, the freak!"
Rikku gasped. What had she gotten herself into?
End Chapter
A/n: So, I know it isn't the greatest. Please tell me how it can improve. Also, if you have any suggestions on how I could have done the two conversations better. Rikku was supposed to interject at just the right time and I didn't know how to stage that.
Review please!
