~Ch. 2: SEND-OFF PARTY

{The Aurochs are on the beach at night having a send-off party. Every year there is a big blitzball tournament in Luca, and they're preparing to leave tomorrow.}

Wakka: Hey, Botta! (throws blitzball at Botta)

Botta: (was facing the other direction but now turns around) What does that moron want n--OWWWWWWWWWW!! (blitzball hits him in the nose again) Wahhhhhhh!!!!

Wakka: (cringe) Oooh. Hey, sorry, ya? I thought you could catch it!

Botta: (bleeding) He did it again! He threw a ball at my face! He's out to get me!

Jassu: (another player for the Aurochs) It's called a "pass", dumbass. You know, you're supposed to catch them?

Botta: (points accusingly at Jassu) You're on HIS side!

Jassu: Whatever. (walks away while rolling his eyes)

{Wakka is down the beach talking to a group of people}

Wakka: (joking) Hey, this is a stray I found. Can we keep him? (socks Tidus in the arm)

Tidus: (to people) Hi.

Wakka: Oh, yeah, he's also like an honorary Auroch right now, ya? You should see what this guy can do. He does this really neat move! Hey, what was that shot called again?

Tidus: The, uh . . . . "TIDUS Shot Mark XXX".

Wakka: Wow! I wonder what Tidus Shots Mark 1 through 29 look like. This kid is full of surprises! I want you to be . . . . our new left forward!

Datto: (the left forward for the Besaid Aurochs) Hey!

(Wakka and Tidus roughhouse for about five minutes before a Goth-looking woman grabs Wakka's arm)

Lulu: (big-chested Goth-looking woman with a dress made out of belts) Can I speak to you a minute, please?

Wakka: (releases Tidus from headlock while chuckling) Yeah.

Lulu: I don't know who that boy is, but -- Wakka. Are you listening to me?

Wakka: Yes.

(Lulu grabs Wakka's face and tilts it up so he is looking at her face instead of . . . . NOT looking at her face!)
(Use your imagination to figure out where he was looking)

Lulu: You just said he can be the left forward for the Aurochs.

Wakka: Yeah, so what about it?

Lulu: Who else used to be your left forward?

Wakka: Datto. (points to Datto who is mad that Tidus took his position)

Lulu: Who else?

Wakka: . . . .

Lulu: You know who I'm talking about.

Wakka: What's your point.

Lulu: Stop trying to replace Chappu!

Wakka: I am not trying to replace him!

(Tidus suddenly pops up in between Wakka and Lulu)

Tidus: Who's Chappu?

Wakka: (taken by surprise) AUUUUUUUUUUUUGH!!!!!

Tidus: Well, it's just that earlier that guy with the broken face said I look like Chappu, and I was wondering if he was good-looking . . . . uh . . . . (trails off)

(Lulu angrily walks off)

Wakka: HEY, Lulu . . . .

Tidus: What's that all about?

Wakka: Nothing.

{Botta is further down the beach watching Wakka through some binoculars)

(In binoculars: Wakka puts his hand on his forehead and sighs. Tidus looks at him.)

Botta: Hmm. I was hoping Titus would come to our side, but he's apparently siding with the captain. Predictable, eh? KEEPA WHERE ARE YOU GOING!

Keepa: (trying to walk away) I'm hungry.

Botta: (takes cream puff out of his pocket) Here. Now stay here, we gotta plan a way to sabotage the tournament in Luca.

Keepa: Oooh, cream puff.

Botta: I have a master plan . . . listen up . . . .
