Ok, so far in the story I have been saying that Chappu is Wakkas older brother. I was wrong. So from here on, he will be referred to as his younger brother. Sorry!

Chapter 3: Tryouts

------------------------------

"You think I'll get in, Lu?"

"If you keep your head out of the clouds and concentrate on the game then I think you may have a chance" Lulu looked into the young man's nervous eyes. This had been his dream, since he was a little kid, and now it was time to see if dreams can come true. Wakka sighed. A lot of other people had gathered on the beach, all waiting to try out for the Besaid Aurochs. You could nearly taste the anticipation, waiting for the captain and the team to show up. One space, one chance. Make or break.

"I'm gonna make it" whispered Wakka "I gotta make it" There was a crunch of sand and a group of people, all in yellow and blue, walked over and faced the eager candidates. Wakka's breath caught in his chest. The captain…. She was that girl. The girl from the beach he had saw three years ago! She was just the same as she was before, maybe even prettier. She had another scar, this time reaching from her throat down her Besaid Auroch top. Wakka's eyes followed the scar down as much as her clothing would let it. The man next to him elbowed him in the ribs.

"She's cute ya?" Wakka blushed.

"I… Guess, if you like that sortta' thin'" The guy smiled.

"You know, you ain't so bad you're self" Wakka gave the guy a strange look.

"Uh, sorry. I'm straight" The man sighed.

"Oh well" To Wakka's relief the girl captain cleared her throat.

"Welcome candidates! Today will be a hard day for all of you, but remember our motto…. To do our best!" She punched the air "My name is Phoenix, and I am your captin, this is Letty, Datto, Keepa and Jassu. So, lets begin"

"That was good Wakka! Very good!" Phoenix shouted "Now, try a shot" Wakka looked at the two trees that were the goal posts. Take a shot take a shot. He could feel Phoenix's deep brown eyes on him, and he started to blush. No, concentrate on the goal. She's not even there. Wakka's sandaled foot connected with the Blitz Ball and it flew towards the fat keeper. It flew just past his head and…

"GOAL! Go mister Wakka!!!" Yelled the voice of Yuna from the sidelines. Wakka grinned and ran over to Yuna. He scooped her into his arms and spun her round. Yuna laughed and laughed. Then he went back over to Phoenix to get his results.

"Is that your daughter? And that dark lady, is that you wife. She's very pretty" Wakka stepped back.

"Wife?! Kid?! Nonononono, I'm still single. The kid is Yuna, she's a sweet kid, and the daughter of Sir Braska, pretty cools ya?" Phoenix's eyes widened "And the woman is Lulu, she's a Black mage. We're like brudder and sister ya?" Phoenix nodded.

"Anyway, family matters aside, I have something very important to tell you. Welcome to the Besaid Aurochs"
