Chapter 2
Welcome to Spira
Yuna stared at the man lying on the bench. He was breathing again, but still unconscious. His coarse black hair was plastered to his brow. He wasn't tall, but not short either. Only about two or three inches taller than her. He had a tan complexion, only a shade or so lighter than Tidus'. Even when this man is dying, I can't stop thinking about him. She felt a pang of guilt.
"Hey, he gonna be okay?" Wakka asked.
"He should. I cured him so much my hands are numb." She replied.
"Well then, why isn't he up yet?" he asked.
"Maybe you should try asking him." Said a deep, sarcastic, yet obviously feminine voice.
"Hey! Lu! You know you shouldn't be out here!" Wakka shouted angrily.
"I couldn't help but come see the idiot who fell into the pool." She said as she walked over above the man, her pregnant stomach almost touching the bench. "Besides, the little one's asking for daddy. Either that or he's practicing blitz in there."
"Ha! That's my son, ya."
"Hey! I think he's coming to!"
Voices. Strange voices talking. Voices bad.
"Stupid radio." He mumbled as he reached behind his head to where his radio was stashed. His hand, however, met with what felt like a, what did it feel like? Then it tapped him back.
"Ahhh! Holy shi.Where am I?" He shouted as he snapped upright and jumped off the bench.
"Hey brudda, calm down. You're in the Aurochs locker room. You fell into the sphere pool."
"The wha. fell?"
"You okay man? You hit your head?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Who the hell are the Aurochs?"
" Wha, you mean you don't know? I mean you had to be watching the game to have fallen in, right"
"What the hell are you talking about? I didn't fall into. Wait, who are you guys?"
"Okay, now I KNOW you hit ya head. I don't try to sound vain, but everyone in Spira knows us."
"WHAT ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT!? WHERE THE HELL IS SPIRA! WHO PUT YOU UP TO THIS!!! TELL ME!!!" Anthony shouted as he grabbed the straps on Wakka's shoulders. Suddenly there was a sound like an angry beehive, and it went black again.
"Lulu! You didn't have to shock him like that! What if he's hurt!"
"I'm sorry Yuna, but he was hysterical. Don't worry though. I just knocked him out. He'll recover in about three hours."
"Until then, wadda we do wit him?" Wakka asked, massaging his shoulders where his straps started to cut into his skin. Damn, he thought, the guy has a good grip.
"Maybe, back to Besaid? I mean, we can't leave him here."
"I dunno, he may go nuts again, and I don't want a crazy on our island".
"I agree with Yuna, Besaid is a quiet enough place for him to clear his head. Let's ask Cid if he can take another passenger," Lulu said sagely.
Anthony awoke to the sound of birds outside his window. Man, what the hell have I been drinking to get a hangover like this? Then his mind flooded with memories of what had happened. He shot straight up. He was in a small straw and grass hut on a cot with thin blankets. Wha? Where am I now? That's it, I'm never going back to sleep. Whenever I sleep, I wake up somewhere new, he thought. He stood up and walked out of the hut.
"You're up! Great!" Said a female voice next to him. "Lulu was worrying she might have hurt you."
"You put me there? Thanks. I wanted to say sorry about the freak out. I hope I wasn't to much trouble."
"No, It was no problem".
"Great. You know where I can get a ride back to L.A.?"
"Where? Are you sure you're O.K.?"
"L.A. You know, Los Angeles? Big ole' city in California?"
"There's no place like that in Spira. Maybe you should go lay down."
"There's that word again, Spira. What is that? Some little county, a country maybe?"
"That's it. You're going back to sleep" she said rather pushily.
"I'm FINE! Just tell me where is this Spira?"
"Here. This world. The whole planet is Spira"
"What? What are you." then the weight of what she said hit him. He wasn't just somewhere where he could take a bus or a plane home; this was a whole different world.
"Are you okay? You look a little pale."
"What did you say your name was again?"
"My name is Yuna. Who are you?"
"My name is Anthony. Yuna?"
"Yes?"
"I think I'll go rest now".
A.N. Hi guys and girls! I'm back whether you like it or not. Thank you Qui-ti, New guy, neptuneshalo, naian, and rock-star-vt. You guys saved me from falling into a pit of despair and self doubt (not to mention cheddar milk shakes, those are a bit weird). To answer your questions,
Qui-ti: The Disney part kicks you in the ass HARD in the end of that game. And no, I have no intention of removing anything, thanks to you.. Also, don't read my e-mail if you don't want to spoil anything. And it's very sad that you memorized all of Ed's names.
Naian: It does get cold in the mornings here in the winter, but mainly that's just cause I'm a wimp. Even when it's cold in L.A., it's warm.
Rock-star-vt: I did put spaces, but for some weird reason Fanfic.net crunched it up into a few mutated blob paragraphs. And my fingers (the wimps they are,) thank you.
Neptuneshalo: Well you spelled you wrong so HA!!
Thank you! If you trust me enough (don't, I don't even trust me) send me your real address and I may give you money! Not really though.
Trashalanah!
Target.
