DISCLAIMER: I do not own any Final Fantasy characters. However, I do own
the grassy hill mentioned in the first paragraph. It's up for sale, if
anybody wants it. Thank you.
DAY ONE
It is a warm, sunny day. Aeris, Tifa, Yuffie, Red XIII, Barret, Cid, Vincent, and Cait Sith are relaxing peacefully on a grassy hill, after enjoying a picnic lunch. Cloud is nowhere to be found.
Yuffie: Hey guys, do you think we spend too much time together? I mean, we always do everything together. Don't you think we should, you know, see other people?
Barret: Naw. Being with you guys has spoiled me for any other company.
Cait Sith: Besides, Cloud has money. If we stick around him, we can get lost of stuff for free.
Aeris: Yes!!
At that moment, Cloud comes walking up the hill, with a big smile on his face.
Cloud: Hey guys! Guess what?
Cid: Uh oh. That smile usually means trouble.
Tifa: What is it, Cloud?
Cloud: (beaming at Tifa) You won't guess what I just signed us up for!
Cid: (groans loudly)
Cait Sith: What, Cloud?
Cloud: Nope! You have to guess.
Cid: Don't' tell me...another mission to save the world?
Cloud: Nope! Guess again!
Red XIII: A survey about styles of clothes?
Cloud: Nope! Guess again!
Cait Sith: A movie contract?
Cloud: Nope! Guess again!
Tifa: A game show?
Cloud: Nope! Guess again!
Aeris: An exotic weapons display?
Cloud: Nope! Guess again!
Barret: The Olympics?
Cloud: Nope! Guess—
Cid: Shut up with the guessing thing!
Vincent: ...a monster truck rally?
Cloud: Nope! Gue—(quiets at a threatening gesture from Cid)
Yuffie: I know! A materia contest!
Cloud: ...nope!
Cid: Well, what is it, then?
Cloud smiles and motions them all to sit and get comfortable.
Cloud: This may take a while to explain...
Cid: Holy help us!
Cloud: (shoots a glare at Cid) ...Well, I was out and about here and there, you know, just minding my own business, not really doing anything at all, having no errands to run or anything, simply—
Tifa, Aeris, Yuffie: Get on with it!!
Cloud: ...um, yes...Well, like I said, I was just wandering around, and I came across some recruiters.
Red XIII: Recruiters for what?
Cloud: For a game. A really cool game! It's kind of like...basketball...but not. Or maybe it's more like soccer? ...no...how about cricket? Or...baseball? No, that's not it, either.
Barret: Just tell us what it is already!
Cloud: Well...it's called...Blitzball!
Vincent: ....?
Red XIII: ....?
Tifa: ....?
Cait Sith: ....?
Yuffie: ....?
Barret: ....?
Aeris: ....?
Cid: ...I think I'm gonna be sick!
Vincent: ... ... ... Cloud: C'mon, guys! It'll be lots of fun! I hired a trainer, too. And don't worry – the tournament isn't for three more days, so we've got plenty of time to prepare!
Tifa: Three...days? And we're supposed to become great players in three days?
Aeris: Holy help us, indeed.
Cloud: Well, we begin tomorrow at sunrise. Don't be late! And I forgot to mention it. The sport is played underwater!
Barret, Red XIII, Cait Sith: Oh, great!
