Hi everyone! This is a special one because one of my fave writers and
reviewers gets a cameo! Take it away Sam.
"Here we are!" Wakka said proudly as we were sailing into port. "Luca!" I'm not much of a fan of blitzball, but I have to admit, Luca is impressive. A sweet city, it'' buildings glinted in the warm sunlight. A cool breeze swept across the ocean and Tidus shivered.
"You okay?" I mouthed. He gave me thumbs up. I heard the commentator talking about the Besaid Aurochs, flaming them to no end. Then the Luca Goers ship came in. I couldn't bear to watch their smarmy faces and stupid expensive uniforms.
"He's just biased, guys. Ignore him, ya?" Wakka said sadly to the Auroch players. Secretly I knew Wakka wasn't going to win this. However, if Chappu were captain, the Aurochs would have won long ago.
"Listen up, Goers." A voice spat into a microphone. It was Tidus. "Us Aurochs are taking the cup this year, ha ha!"
"Oh Yevon." I sighed and shook my head. "Stupid brat." Then the commentator said something so quickly I didn't catch it.
"Maester Mika!" Squeaked Yuna. I felt her pulling my arm. "Can we see him, Lulu, please? Wakka?" I looked at Wakka's sad smile and nodded.
"Only if we don't miss registration." Said Wakka. Yuna nodded and grabbed Tidus by the shoulder.
"Then we search for Sir Auron!" I heard her whisper. I had to run to catch up with them. Sure enough, Mika was there, along with the newest member of the Yevon clergy - Maester Seymour, the son of Jyscal. I wanted to raise my eyebrows at him. He didn't seem... Normal. I didn't like his aura.
We walked up to the stadium together until we reached the changing rooms where Tidus, Yuna and Kimhari hurried out. I stood by the door, giving a pep talk to Wakka. Or rather, he gave one to me.
"Cheer up." He said.
"Me? You're the one going to fight for a place in the final!" I said, caustically.
"I know, ya! You don't have to rub it in." Wakka smiled and started to laugh. "We're gonna rock the whole of Spira." He pushed open the door to the changing rooms. "You hear dat boys?" The team smiled and some of them agreed, while others waved at me awkwardly. We stepped into the small room and I sat down. There was a knock at the door. A blonde girl of about fifteen stepped in. She was wearing an Aurochs t-shirt, short shorts and funky blue boots. She clutched a programme tightly to her chest.
"Hello! Can I come in?" She was very excited and was trying to keep her cool, but her voice faltered and went up quite high.
"I hope we're all decent, boys." Said Letty. The guys chuckled and crowded round the middle bench were Wakka and I sat to listen to her.
"Hi! I'm your biggest fan! I've been supporting you since I was three and I've seen all of your matches and I've been dying to meet you and..." Wakka stood up and took her by the shoulders. The girl gave a little gasp from this physical contact.
"You like us, ya?" She nodded quickly. "Come on boys, autographs! Who to?"
"Qui-ti!" Qui-ti shrieked and watched with glee as each of the boys signed the Auroch's page. Wakka took the pen and signed it with a twirl. She produced a small silver box from a pocket. "You wouldn't mind if I...?" She gestured to Wakka.
"Sure." Wakka smiled. He liked the fans, especially one who had been with them for so long. He posed, his arm round her and Letty stood in and took the photo.
"Thanks!" She smiled and Wakka went and put the cherry on the sprinkles, on the cream, on the sundae. He kissed her on the cheek. Qui-ti squealed and hugged him, then ran outside, satisfied. Everyone laughed. I glared. I didn't know why just then. I don't think I ever will.
"Wakka's got a girlfriend, Wakka's got a girlfriend.." the boys chanted.
"It's just my animal magnetism, boys." He showed off his biceps.
"Are you sure it's not your hairdo, boss?"
*** Yuna was kidnapped. It was annoying having to find her. I fought the Al Bhed with Kimahri (still suffering from his binge-fest in Kilika) and Tidus and we got her back. We ran to the stadium together and watched the game. It was a hard game but it was only a game.
We didn't win but we did find Sir Auron. Luca was attacked by Sin and Seymour summoned a mighty aeon, Anima. It was so powerful that it killed all the fiends that came along with Sin for the ride in one strike. Wakka was pretty thrilled and Tidus.. he seemed to have met him before. They knew eachother pretty well. I can't help but wonder why....
Now I feel sad. I had made a remark about Wakka which I wish I hadn't now because the brat snapped at me and I snapped back. I had spoiled an okay day. But it didn't matter. All you get in Spira was okay days now.
