First it's being trapped in a freezing cold library, now it's being trapped in my own home. What next?! Long story short, found FFX Vocal Collection and just wondered. Hope you enjoy.
Damn FanFiction dot Net. Deleting all those spiffy things like asterisks and brackets. I apologize if the "action sequences" are a little hard to read. I tried to make them stand out as much as possible.
BTW, I'm too lazy to look. Is it "Kimarhi" or "Kimahri?" Damn, he really is annoying.
::italics:: - action
Final Fantasy X: Vocal Conflict
Auron: I refuse.
Producer: C'mon Auron, everybody else is doing it.
Auron: That is not an excuse. This is preposterous. ::turns to leave::
Producer: ::grabs Auron's sleeve:: Please Auron! My career is riding on you!
Auron: ::points Masamune at Producer's throat:: Let. Go. Now.
Yuna: Sir Auron… if you would please, just for a moment, aid us once more? ::bows::
Tidus: Yeah, c'mon Auron. You're supposed to be Yuna's guardian. Aren't you gonna help her?
Auron: She does not need my guidance here.
Producer: PLEASE AURON! I BEG OF YOU! ::on knees, begging::
Auron: No. ::leaving::
Producer: Even Kimahri's doing it!
Kimahri: ::smiles::
Auron: ::looks at Kimahri:: I'm sorry, old friend, but hell no.
Lulu: I know my cry for help isn't gonna do much, but aw well. ::turns to Auron:: ::in a very seductive voice:: Please Sir Auron… for me? ::leans down:: ::jiggle::
Wakka: ::eyes bulge out::
Auron: ::blush:: ::looks away:: That's not going to affect me. I'm dead, remember?
Tidus: Yeah, well so am I… kinda, and you don't see me complaining.
Rikku: C'mon, Auron. We all know you have a great voice in there somewhere. ::nudges Auron with elbow::
Auron: Rikku. Stop it. ::Still leaving::
Kimahri: ::puts hand (paw?) on Auron's shoulder:: Kimahri do Auron favor. ::indicating Yuna:: Now Auron do Kimahri favor.
Auron: ::looks Kimahri in the eye:: ::sigh::
Ten minutes later… In the studio… Poor Auron…Auron: Well, I'm here. What am I supposed to do?
Producer: Sing, of course.
Auron: ::quick turn::
Kimahri: ::puts hand on Auron's shoulder:: ::smiles::
Auron: ::looks at Kimahri:: ::shudder:: Kimahri. Don't do that.
Kimahri: ::removes hand::
Producer: Well, who wants to go first?
Rikku: Ooh! I do! Pick me!
Producer: OK, Rikku. Pick your song.
Rikku: Hmmm… ::looks over list of songs:: It's either "All the Way" or "Get Happy." I can't decide! Grrrr…
Five minutes later…Rikku: "All the Way" or "Get Happy." "All the Way" or "Get Happy." ::weighs decision with hands:: "All the Way." ::left hand goes up, right hand goes down:: "Get Happy." ::right hand goes up, left hand goes down::
Producer: … OK, has anyone picked a song already who would like to go first.
Tidus: I got one! ::does that fist pumping thing::
After Tidus, Yuna, Lulu, Wakka, and Rikku sings…Rikku: Hey, that wasn't too bad, eh Auron? ::smiles sweetly::
Auron: …
Lulu: I think we did a great job, don't you think so too, Yuna?
Yuna: ::blush:: Um, well… I hope so. That was really… my first attempt at singing.
Tidus: And you were great! ::does that fist pumping action he usually does::
Wakka: Did everyone go?
Auron: ::steps back quietly::
Everyone else: ::looks at Auron::
Kimahri: ::smiles::
A very productive 5 minutes later…
Tidus: ::panting:: Wow, so that's why Auron's such a famous guardian.
Wakka: Yeah! Sir Auron's the best! But geez, we fought a lot of famous people during Yuna's pilgrimage… Maester Seymour, Lady Yunalesca, Sir Jecht, Sin, and now Sir Auron! What next, ya? The star player of the Zanarkand Abes?
Tidus: ::imitating that Gary Coleman from Diff'rent Strokes:: Whatchu talkin' 'bout, Wakka?
Wakka: Nothing.
Auron: Let me out of this booth! I refuse to sing. This is ludicrous!
Lulu: Sir Auron, it's only for a little while. We all sang, now it's your turn.
Auron: I said it many times already. I will not repeat myself again. I. Will. Not. Sing.
Producer: Auron! Please! Everyone else did! It won't be a "Final Fantasy X Vocal Collection" without your voice in it!
Yuna: Well… how about a compromise?
Everyone else: Huh?
Scene fades into blackness. A few seconds later, the scene fades into… clearness!
Rikku: Yunie! You're a genius!
Tidus: Yeah, Yuna! That's a great idea! ::does that fist pumping thing::
Kimarhi: ::smiles::
Tidus: Um, Kimarhi? Yuna's pilgrimage is over. I don't think she'll mind if you stop with the smiling now. It's getting kinda creepy, you know?
Kimarhi: ::ignore:: ::crosses arms:: ::smiles::
Tidus: Um… Kimarhi? ::gets in Kimarhi's face:: Hey, hello…? ::waves hands in front of Kimarhi's face::
Kimarhi: ::smile fades:: ::glares at Tidus::
Tidus: Er… I mean, never mind. ::holds hands up in defense:: You can smile as much as you want, big guy. Heh, heh…
Lulu: Well, Sir Auron? What do you say? Give Yuna's idea a try.
Auron: …
Wakka: Hey, Sir Auron. If you do this for us, I'll… uh… teach you how to blitz, ya?
Auron: I'm sorry, that doesn't interest me. Now let me out of here!
Yuna: ::sigh:: Sir Auron, you don't even have to sing now. Please, it will only take a few minutes.
Auron: No.
Rikku: Hmmm… ::in thinking pose:: ::snaps:: I have an idea! Everyone except Meanie over there, gather 'round!
Screen fades into blackness… and fades into… a sake bottle?!Rikku: ::whisper, whisper:: Yup! My plan'll work for sure. He'll be sure to sing. EVERYONE sings when they're like that!
Tidus: And how would you know, Rikku? ::raises brow:: Aren't you only 15?
Rikku: Um… eh, Brother showed me too many movies? Heh, heh…
Tidus: ::sigh:: Never mind.
Lulu: Is there no other way? This seems rather juvenile.
Producer: While that may be true, being juvenile is the only way we'll catch him off guard.
Yuna: I say we do it!
Everyone else: Huh?!
Wakka: Erm, Yuna? You feeling alright, ya?
Yuna: Yes, I'm fine, Wakka. I just… want to get this over with, before I begin to have doubts, you know?
Tidus: Yuna's got a point. Just do it now and save the thinking for later… like when he's really mad.
Rikku: All right! Everyone knows the plan, right?
Everyone else: ::nods::
Rikku: Then let's get it on! ::jumps::
Back with Auron in the locked booth…Auron: I can't break out of here with Masamune being outside. The door's reinforced so I can't break it with my bare fists. My black magic spells are weak, therefore serve no use. And worst of all, I ain't got no boo—I mean… my bottle of sake which I use to perform my Overdrive Banishing Blade is not with me at the moment. ::mumble, mumble:: Damn Squaresoft people for being so damn creative. When I find out whoever thought up the idea for a Final Fantasy X Vocal Collection, I'm going to—
Yuna, Rikku, and Lulu: Oh, Sir Auuuuurrron…
Auron: ::stares at the girls:: Hm? ::raised brow::
Rikku: ::holds up bottle of sake:: ::smiles:: ::holds the sake higher::
Auron: ::eyes widen::
Kimarhi: ::smiles::
Auron: You wouldn't…
Rikku: ::smile grows wider:: ::nods slowly::
Auron: N-N-N… ::slow motion:: NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rikku: ::nods:: ::slow motion:: YYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS…
Auron: ::shakes head:: ::still slow motion:: NNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! ::holds hand out::
One hour later…Rikku: See Auron, that wasn't so bad. And you didn't even have to sing, like Yuna said.
Auron: Tch… you probably would have done something more drastic if I hadn't. ::hugs sake::
Tidus: So booze really is the great Sir Auron's weakness after all. Nice thinking Rikku.
Auron: Our work is done, can we leave?
Producer: Sure, sure. Thanks a bunch you guys. You saved my career. ::bows::
Yuna: Oh, it was our pleasure. ::bows back::
Auron: …
Wakka: So, uh… I guess we're going back to Besaid? I did promise Sir Auron that I'd teach him how to blitz 'n all.
Tidus: Yeah! Can't wait to see this old guy in action! ::pumps fist::
Lulu: Yes, it would be a… rather interesting sight to see, don't you agree Yuna?
Yuna: Well… ::laughs:: I think we put Sir Auron through enough for today. ::winks at Auron::
Auron: ::mouths a 'thank you':: Well, I shall be going then. ::leaves::
Yuna: …Until next time, Sir Auron. ::cackles evilly::
Everyone else: ::gawks::
Yuna: What? The X-2 script told me to be more outgoing. ::shrug::
A few days later…Auron: ::opens package that he received in the mail:: What the…? ::mumbles:: Yuna, Tidus, Tidus and Wakka, Rikku, Rikku and Yuna and Lulu, Me, Yuna… Where's Kimarhi? KIMARHI DIDN'T SING?! KIIIIIIIMAAAAAAARHIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!
On the foot of Mt. Gagazet…Kimarhi: ::smiles::
Um… yeah. I was really bored. And Kimarhi really wasn't in the FFX Vocal Collection… so I figured this was the reason why. Eh, please review?
