I do not own the characters, all of this is just my imagination of to how they may have met before what they show in the game. Now on to the story!!!

Chapter One: Stars

The sun rose on the bustling city while neighbors greeted each other. The brown hair girl still slept while everyone else went to their jobs of the last work day of the week. She slept in while she could otherwise she probably wouldn't get sleep. Only a few short minutes after sunrise her phone rang, waking her from her pleasant and deep sleep. Picking up the phone, she hit the 'talk' button.

"Good morning, this is Lenne," she sat up in bed, brushing the brown strands of hair from her brown left eye and her right blue eye.

"This is the manager over at the stadium. I'm afraid there has been a problem. Can you make it down here in an hour?" The man asked.

Lenne looked at the clock and suppressed a groan, she had only gone to bed just an hour ago. They had been setting up and practicing for her concerts this week which ran well into the night like usual. After thinking it over she realized the man on the other end was still waiting for her answer.

"Yes…an hour is good. I'll be there."

"I'll see you then."

Hitting the 'end' button, Lenne flopped back onto her bed, groaning. After a few minutes of just laying there she rose from the bed, stripping off her huge shirt and underwear as she walked towards the bathroom. When her shower was done and she was fully dressed she only applied a little makeup to hide the shadows under her eyes. With that done she grabbed her cell phone from her bed side table along with her keys and headed out the door.

She stepped onto the nearest moving sidewalk and began the trip to the stadium for the fifth time in two days. When she reached the stadium it was in blitzball form, as if they had a game or practice. The guard at the gate nodded at her and let her pass. The manager wasn't in his office so she went out into the stands. She saw him on the opposite side, by the locker rooms and made her way over to him. Upon reaching him she sat down in the chair next to him.

"All right, what was so important that you woke me up so early?" Lenne asked, rather annoyed.

"I'm afraid we over booked the stadium. My assistant had forgotten that there was a blitzball tournament game tonight. The D-Section Duggles against the B-Section Blazers, I didn't realize it until this morning when I looked at the paper work."

"Great…so what am I supposed to do?" Lenne had also forgotten, and she was a Blazer fan, even went to all the games.

"Well, we could always reschedule?" Firla said.

"I don't think my manager will like that very much…" Lenne said, thinking about her money crazed manager.

"Well we should wait for our other party member. Perhaps you know him or at least heard of him…he's the captain of the Blazers, Shuin."

Of course she'd heard of him, who in their right mind hadn't. Captain of the B-Section Blazers, and the youngest member of the Blitzball league ever. Not to mention he was so damn hot, Lenne practically had a shrine made of his pictures in her office back at her apartment. If Lenne was waiting for the right guy, she'd be lonely forever, because her standards were set pretty high, they had to be like Shuin. Just as talented, hot, sexy and irresistible as him. Lenne must have drifted off because the next thing she heard was Firla's voice, and she brought herself out of the daydream in the middle of his sentence. She didn't really need to hear the first half of the sentence to know what he had said, because here was the hottest player to ever pass through the sport of blitzball jogging towards them.

When he reached them she had to restrain herself, because his hair was wet from practice and she just wanted to maul him. He shook hands with the manager and his lips were moving but Lenne didn't hear a word because her eyes were locked on the way his lips moved. The manager must have said something strange because Shuin stopped moving completely. Then he slowly turned his head in Lenne's direction, seeing her for the first time. For a moment it seemed like time had stopped as his light blue eyes met with her entrancing eyes.

"Lenne, this is Shuin, captain of the Blazers," Firla's voice broke through the trance.

She smiled, one of her more rare smiles, or more like one of the one's she had when she daydreamed about him and extended her hand. She was the first to break the silence between the two.

"Hello, it's nice to meet you."

As if he too had to pull himself out of a dream, he extended his hand and when their skin touched it was as if fire spread through her body. If just a small touch like this could send fire dancing across my skin I wonder what it would be like too… A light blush came to her cheeks and she quickly tossed the thought away to dwell on later.

"Same here," Shuin said.

"So what are we going to do about the situation?" Firla asked.

"I'll postpone it, I'm sure my manager won't mind if we wait a week or two. I mean, I go to a lot of blitzball games and I just forgot about this one," Lenne said.

"You don't have to postpone. You can have it tonight," Shuin said, trying hard to take his eyes from her.

"But the blitzball tournament is tonight…I don't think people will be happy if that gets cancelled," Lenne said.

"We'll both play. You can go on before the game, it'll be like a double feature. I sure don't want to have to wait a week or two for you to perform…" he paused, before realizing that it might sound like he was a huge fan of hers. "Uh…I mean…um…You know…lots of people go to your concerts too. It might be bad to cancel that as well."

Lenne smiled and Shuin followed suit, although his was a little sheepish, he was obviously a fan of hers as well.

"I like that idea," Lenne said, still smiling. If truth be told, she'd like any idea of his, especially since he was standing right in front of her.

"Good, I'm glad you like it…" He took a breath as if he had forgotten to breathe.

"Well, since I'm here and you're not surrounded by a bunch of screaming fans, I want to wish you good luck with the game tonight. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it seeing as how I forgot about it in the first place, I didn't buy any tickets. I'll just have to watch it on the sphere," Lenne said, turning to leave.

Shuin's voice stopped her. "I have an extra ticket…That is…if you'd still like to go…"

Lenne turned back toward him to see him searching his pockets for it. When he found it, he pulled it out of his pocket and held it out for her. Taking it she looked at it, realizing that this wasn't just a ticket, but much more.

"This is a season pass to every game the Blazers play, not to mention a backstage pass and a locker room pass. These cost a lot of money," Lenne studied him.

He shrugged. "Every player gets one for their family…but, I don't have anyone to give it to…So you can have it…or if you don't want it you can return it after the game. I know that the season's almost over anyway."

Without thinking, Lenne launched herself at him and gave him a tight hug, he was surprised for a moment, but then hugged her back. After they let go, there were light blushes staining their cheeks. Lenne began to dig through her purse and pulled out a similar looking ticket and handed it to him. It was almost the same thing as what he had just gave her, except instead of a locker room pass, it was a dressing room pass, and a stage pass to come up and dance with her. He looked up at her, a look of shock upon his face.

"Even for a high paid Blitzer like myself, I'd still have to sell my soul to get this deal," Shuin said, knowing that these cost twice of what the deluxe blitzball package did.

"I know…It's so not many people can get them. Think of what it would be like if twenty people were up on stage, most of them trying to maul me. Then in the dressing room, where they'd want to steal your things…So Kilai puts them over most people's heads…We only sell one a year, to the same guy every year, and the others I hand out myself and only those are for maybe one or two concerts at a time, but this one will get you in all year."

He grabbed her, but instead of just hugging her, he gave her a passionate kiss, then after realizing what he was doing, pulled away, the blushes on their faces were almost a dark red.

"Sorry…" Shuin muttered.

"It's okay," Lenne responded.

"So I'll guess I'll see you tonight, at the concert-game," Shuin said.

"I guess so," Lenne said.

"Well…see you later then," Shuin said, turning back toward the locker rooms.
