Disclaimer; I don't own Final Fantasy 12, if I did, Vaan would be forever Balthier's little cabin boy (LOL) Ashe wouldn't be as annoying and bitchy. Penelo would be a better fighter in the game. Basch would be the same, he's okay. Larsa would be a permanant guest in the game as he is soooooo cool and useful with his billions of potions..

Summary; Ellyn was just a normal high school girl when a mysterious book transports her to the world of Ivalice, where she meets Leon, a sky pirate. With his help, maybe she will be able to save her best friend and return home.

A/N: This is after Final Fantasy 12 but before Revenant Wings. Completely AU you could say, though it has refrences to the game. And I have twisted some of the plot to suit this story.

(Chapter 1.)

Boom Boom Boom.

That was all you could hear from Ellyn's bedroom as heavy metal music blasted room her stereo. She sat there, reading a new Manga that had just come out online. Though she didn't have the internet, she had to ask her best friend Kazu to order it for her. Which he did gladly but she coudn't help feel a little guilty for it.

And speaking of best friend; Kazu was staring at her intently like he always did. Whenever Ellyn read a Yaoi Manga, he would sit there staring at her. It didn't bother her and as she read a very, revealing scene, a dark blush covered her cheeks and Kazu laughed loudly. That was why he was watching her. He loved it when Ellyn blushed.

Ellyn looked over to Kazu, a soft smile playing on her lips, though there was a mischievious glint in her eyes. Kazu stopped chuckling to himself and fell off his chair when Ellyn suddenly dived for him. They both hit the floor laughing and Kazu instantly started to pet Ellyn like she was some sort of cat.

Though they were close, Kazu knew they would never get together, well one; he was gay and two; he thought of Ellyn like a little sister. He had met Ellyn on a very rainy day, she was soaking wet and without a umbrella. So he offered to share his, and when she looked up shyly at him and accepted, he was instantly taken with her.

" I don't why you're laughing Kazu, you do it all the time with your boyfriend." Came Ellyn's clever words. Kazu gasped and started to tickle her, he was going to get his own back for that. " S-stop!" Ellyn gasped out, not being able to take much more. Kazu stopped but stayed sitting on her thigh's; pinning her to the floor. Now if anyone was to see this, they would've thought that they were a couple but Kazu's friend Carly knew about them.

Ellyn had met Carly but as she was shy around people, She and Carly didn't get on very well so they never became friends. Kazu stared down at a flushed Ellyn who was staring back shyly, she was still shy around him, albeit not as mush as she used to be.

Kazu smiled, he made no attempt to move, he kinda liked the picture of Ellyn's silver-y blond hair spread across the floor, with her panting and looking all flushed. If she was a guy; Kazu would be screwing her by now. But she was a girl and he was sure some God was laughing at him because of it.

" Aw do you have to be girl Ellyn?" Kazu placed a pout on his lips and got the reaction he wanted, Ellyn looked at him worriedly and spoke. " Sorry." And sounded sincere about it too. Kazu laughed, she always was too soft for her own good. He got up helping her up too as he always did.

" Come on, lets go to the Library, they said they were getting new books in." Ellyn nodded and followed her friend out the dorm room. After they had found out they went to the same collage, Kazu had asked if he could room with Ellyn and well here they were. Though Kazu had the internet and Ellyn didn't, but Kazu always let her use it when she needed it.

They were best friends after all.

A silver and black Airship flew through the sky of Ivalice, faster then the eye could watch. It zoomed through the clouds, breaking them and leaving them a mess. Though it slowed down when bit of earth appeared. As the Airship got closer the pieces of earth got bigger and bigger, and some had houses on them and soon the biggest piece of land appeared with a whole city on it, with other Airships coming and going.

The captain of this Silver ship watched as the ship docked at the Aerodrome, a word whispered out as the last of the docking clamps held ship still. " Bhujerba." The captain got up from his seat and started to walk down the aisle of his ship to get to the side door while giving out orders, well they weren't orders as much as he was giving his crew chance to relax.

He nodded his head and quicker then an eye everyone was gone except Nince, she was staying behind to watch the ship. " You can go Nince, I'll be with Ascendance." The moogle's pom pom twitched and she looked at her captain with a stern look.

" Kupo! You go Leon, I'll stay with Airship Kupopo! Nince engineer!" And quicker then anything Leon found himself getting kicked out of his Airship and into the busy Aerodrome. He turned back and saw the ships door was already closed. Curse that Moogle!

Leon sighed and went to the reception desk, where you sign your airship in. It was kinda like signing in at a hotel. The receptionist smiled warmly at his approach.

" Hello Sir and welcome to Bhujerba. Your name and your Airships?" The receptionist had long light blond hair, and her finger nails were well manicured. And her face wasn't full of make-up but there was something about her that Leon did not like. Something shifty.

" Leon and The Ascendance." The receptionist stopped typing for a second but then continued. Leon knew why she stopped, the Ascendance is a Imperial fleet Airship or was. And he was a Judge for the Imperial Army but after the business with Vayne, he quit shortly after Larsa took the throne. Besides, Leon quite liked his old Sky pirate life and he would pick that life over the life of a Judge anyday.

" Okay sir, is there anyone else on your ship." Ah the new law in Bhujerba, everyone has to be accounted for. Leon nodded and told her the names of everyone on his ship. She typed away and passed him a slip of paper, which was of no importance really. It just told him what dock his Airship was at.

He said his thanks and turned for the exit, just as several Bhujerban guards came rushing in, weapons out. Leon sighed.

Not again!

Ellyn smiled as Kazu eyed this one boy up who was totally fit and totally homosexual, she nudged him playfully and tilted her towards the same guy. Kazu's eye's lit up and he was over there in a flash. Ellyn giggled and turned back to the 'new arrivals' bookcase, Kazu was an idiot at times but she loved him for it though.

She looked at the book titles and stopped at one which didn't have a title at all. She cocked her to the side before taking the book of the shelf. It was a fairly big book. It had a intricate design on the front and it looked beautiful.

Mysterious but beautiful.

And she liked that, she walked over to the front desk of the library and placed the book and the desk. The librarian at the desk turned round, she was a oldish woman and sometimes stern about somethings but other then that she was nice enough.

" Hello miss Kaori."

" Hello miss Cirjrna." Miss Cirjrna took Ellyn's card for a minute and then gave it back before passing the book to Ellyn who looked confused.

" Umm."

" It's alright, as you are the first person to take this book out, we don't have to stamp it because we don't know the title of the book." Ellyn nodded and took the book back, she said goodbye as she went to look for Kazu.

They had a mysterious book to look at.
