Final Fantasy X-3

Chapter One

"Alright, huddle boys!" Tidus called out to the Besaid blitzball team, "The Aurochs" as he stood under the only shady spot on the sandy white beach of Besaid. The team ran over to meet the blonde hair boy who was recently made into the team's captain. Looking at the tired looking bunch the boy smiled and placed a hand upon his hip. "The blitz season has just started. So what's our goal?"

"Victory!" The players shouted loudly as they made a tight fist. Tidus nodded and made a fist as well joining his team in the Aurochs' victory pose. "Dismissed!" With those words given the tired team left their captain and headed back to the village.

Now left alone, the once star player of the Zanarkand Abes walked out of the breezy shade and moved towards the blue sea. Reaching the water the gentle waves brushed against his bare feet teasingly.

The sounds crashing waves seemed to die as a loud rumbling sound filled the air causing the boy to lift his head up suddenly and spotted the red Al Bhed airship flying towards him at full speed. Gritting his teeth in anger Tidus jumped out of the way before part of the airship could hit him. The huge machina had turned around and placed itself in the shallow ocean waters

"Fuimt oui cdub tuehk dryd, oui tung?!"

"Would you stop doing that, you dork?!"

A girl's voice yelled out in Al Bhed when the doors to the huge airship opened. Jumping out from the machina, a blonde hair girl messed up on her landing and fell on her bottom with a splash.

"Ra fyc eh so fyo yht cdub lymmehk ouin maytan y tung!!"

"He was in my way and stop calling your leader a dork!"

Brother's voice yelled back to the girl through the speaker of the machine, while a dark brown hair girl jumped out of the airship only to land gracefully next to the other that was pushing herself up onto her feet. "Owie...that really hurts"

The brown hair girl sighed as she started to walk over to the beach. "You really need to work on your landing, Rikku." She stated looking over the Al Bhed girl.

Once hitting the hot sand, he looked up "That no good..." Tidus hissed out before trying to spit out some sand that managed to get into his mouth. Pushing himself up onto his bare feet once more he gritted his teeth looking to the airship knowing damn well that Brother was laughing in glee, but before he could have another thought in strangling the Al Bhed, his blue eyes turned hearing Rikku call to him, and spotted the two girls making their way over to him from the airship.

"I'm sorry Tidus...Brother can be a total pain in the heine sometime." Rikku said as she approuched him while Paine followed. "Jealously can be very unattractive." She said with a shrug causing Tidus to suck his teeth in annoyance knowing that was the reason Brother was picking on him all the time. It has been that way not only since Tidus first trip to Spira from his encounter with Sin but when he was recreated and returned once more from the dreams of the Fayths just a few months back and his relationship with the High Summoner Yuna had taken up where it was left off. Rikku shook her head even though she agreed with her fellow Sphere hunter.

"Anyway...if you guys are looking for Yuna she's in the village." Tidus said rubbing the back of his head feeling some sand that managed to get within his hair. "Lulu still sick?" Rikku asked while tilting her head to the side giving off a little pout. Tidus nodded while rubbing his hair trying to try some of the sand out. "Yeah and Wakka is freaking out as usual." Paine turned her brown eyes to the trees as if she was trying to see the village from the beach. "Good thing Yunie is there to help Wakka out with little Vidina," The Al Bhed girl replied a smirk as she leaned towards Tidus. "Or maybe this is just an excuse to practice for the future." With those words spoken Tidus' cheeks turned blood red from embarrassment. Paine continued to look up to the trees watching the leaves sway from the warm wind. Before Tidus could even respond, the three teens jumped slightly from being startled when the speakers of the flying machina squealed loudly causing some birds to fly into the air from being startled as well.

"Rikku!! Tuh'd cyo cilr drehkc!!"
"Rikku!! Don't say such things!!"

The three looked towards the machina as brother screamed out to his sister from the intercom causing Rikku groan before looking away while she rubbed her ringing ears. "Could you be listening any harder?" She asked namely to herself filled with sarcasm. Paine looked back to Tidus who was rubbing his ears as well and cursing under his breath. "Changing the subject, we found this sphere that Rikku was pretty sure you and Yuna would be interested in." The blonde hair boy looked over to her only to turn his attention down to the glowing orange sphere she was holding out to him. Taking the sphere into his hands he held it up and looked closely inside.

---Sphere recording begins---

The camera slowly took in the largest city Spira and center of the order of Yevon, Bevelle. It was night fall so the lights lit up the city making it look like stars had fallen from the dark sky. The camera soon settled on a lone warrior monk who was standing upon a balcony near his guarding post. "Well...this is the first. I've never seen you look so distance before. Almost love struck." The camera man chuckled causing the warrior monk to turn his attention away from the glowing city, revealing himself to be Auron. He looked as a young man of twenty-five years. "Leave me alone Braska." He said has he turned his head slightly just as the camera zoomed in just in time to capture Auron's embarrassed expression. The camera man said to be Braska just chuckled even more being rather amused. "Could she be the one that has you this way?" He asked Auron who looked back to the camera and parted his lips to reply, becoming even more embarrassed and a bit annoyed.

"Auron!" A male's voice called out causing Auron to turn towards the doors of a building, along with the camera that followed where Auron was looking to revealing another warrior monk walking over to him.

---Sphere recording ends---

"This is Auron?" Tidus asked shocked and confused at the same time. Rikku nodded and moved close up to him just to look into the sphere as well seeing that Tidus was replaying it. "I think uncle Braska is recording it but I can't say for sure." She turned her green and spiral-shaped pupils up to her friend. "I want to show Yunie this too. I know she would be just as interested in it." Tidus' blue eyes finally managed to pull themselves off the sphere just to look up Paine then Rikku. "Where did you find this?"

"Macalania Forest." Paine said beating Rikku in answering Tidus' question. Rikku looked over to Paine who smirked not even looking back to her, but knew Rikku had her eyes upon her. Pouting from being beaten in the question, Rikku looked back to Tidus and crossed her arms over her breasts. "Macalania Forest." She repeated with a huff. "This is definitely something Yuna will want to see. Let alone Lulu and Wakka." Tidus said as he tossed the glowing sphere into the air just to catch it as it came back down.

"Let's go then!" Rikku said before running over to the opening of the beach that lead to the woods of Besaid. Coming to a stop she turned around and waved to her two friends. "Last one to the village is a rotten Chocobo egg!!" She laughed out before taking off again."W-Whoa! Hold on!" Tidus called out and broke into a run after her.

Paine just sighed. "Looks like we're going to be here for a while, Buddy." She said as she crossed her arms over her breasts. Some static was heard before Buddy's voice took place of it. "Have fun." He relyed before the static took place of his voice once more then silence. Sighing once more, she followed after the two heading towards village of Besaid island not having any desire to join their game.
