Chapter 4- New...outfits?
-
(Tidus' POV)
-
"All right, I have about run out of fun being a dead man! It's time to go back to Spira!"
I look at Auron, then to Jecht and Braska, and they all nod to me. I nod back, and run full speed with my sword held out in front of me to the Farplane's invisible wall. I flinch as a loud, "CLANK," noise is heard. I shield my eyes with my hand as a bright light overcomes me.
When I open my eyes again, I realize that I am lying in the streets of Luca, and little kids are poking me in the ribs.
"Hey! Cut that out, that hurts ya know!" I yell out a bit forcibly making the kids scamper away from me.
I look around me at the sights of Luca. Blitzball signs, bustling people in the streets, and a poster of the new hottest singer of Spira. Yuna. I begin to blink rapidly, a singer? I didn't know she wanted to become a singer. Well, at least I know she's doing well for herself. Hmm, I wonder what she will think when she sees me at her concert. I can't wait to see her again, to hold her in my arms.
I sigh deeply; does she even want to see me? I did leave rather abruptly that day. Wait, what am I thinking, I am sure she wants to see me as much as I want to see her...
I am interrupted from my thoughts when a fat, balding man taps me on the shoulder.
"Ahh, come to see Lady Yuna's concert? Tickets are 35 gil, buy em' up front at the counter."
"Right, will do."
I head towards the counter to buy my ticket.

"Rikku, you think this qualifies as 'things needed to be done'?" I ask skeptically while glancing down at my new outfit while holding onto my newly acquired guns. My attire is now made up of a silk hand woven tank top with the Jecht sign, denim stretch shorts, and a long, flowing blue side-skirt accented with feathers.
"Hehehe! Yep! Oh Yunie! I almost forgot to tell you! There is a kid that joined the Gullwings not to long ago named Shinra, and he made an invention. It's called the Garment Grid. You see, you insert it into your weapons and you can change your outfit to learn the abilities locked into that outfit. You follow?"
"Umm, not exactly." I reply, eyebrows raised.
"Well, it is difficult to explain, why don't you just try it? May I suggest the songstress outfit? Ya know for your upcoming concert?"
"Well, I suppose. Wait! How do you know about my concerts?" I ask while unconsciously tugging at the bottom of my shorts.
"Oh Yunie! I did go to your first concert ya know!"
I look at Rikku and notice a hint of hurt in her eyes.
"Yunie, though I was away, I would never miss an event like that!"
I place my hand on her shoulder and give her a sideways glance. "Of course, thank you for caring so much Rikku."
"No problem! But uh...shouldn't you be getting to Luca? You have a concert to put on!"

(In Luca Yuna's POV)
-
I look all around Luca, noticing the hustle and bustle of people just waiting to watch my concert. To my left something catches my eye. It's a woman with a heart on her....chest?
"You must be the new Dullwings member!"
I look at her confused, and then Rikku jumps out in front of me.
"It's the Gullwings, and don't you ever forget it!" Rikku yells while pointing at the strange woman."
Rikku then turns to me and I can hear her softly speaking.
"Wow, news sure does travel fast, you just joined after all!"
The woman from before walks up to us, and half-heartedly begins to yell at us.
"Stop that whispering! And the name is Leblanc! Remember that name well loves! I am here on important business, you see, you have something that catches my interest and I want it."
"Spit it out already, what are you talking about!" Rikku hollers.
"The songstress dress sphere, give it to me."
"Never!" I reply, speaking for the first time.
"Very well, Logos, Ormi!"
I feel hands grabbing at my back, and turn to see whom my attacker is. A tall skinny man is standing behind me, trying to make his way to me belongings. I start to yell out, but it's no use. The man finally reaches into my pouch located on my left hip, and takes out my songstress dress sphere. Before I could turn fully around and grab it back, the man had disappeared in a pink cloud of smoke. I notice the same happened to Ormi and Leblanc as well.
"Aww, poopie! Now what are we gonna do?" Rikku childishly asks.
"Rikku, don't talk like that."
I turn to face the new voice, and I notice that it's a girl, all dressed in black with short silvery hair.
"Paine! This is Yuna, Yuna this is Paine, ok we need to go now! Yunie has a concert to put on!" Rikku replies while glancing in my direction.
"You know that Leblanc stole your dress sphere to pose as Yuna, right?"
"Umm, yes?" Said Rikku while nodding her head timidly.
"Yuna, in order for us to steal it back, your going to need to dress up in the 'Gullwings prized garment'." Paine softly spoke.
I can't help noticing the hint of sarcasm when she spoke of the 'prized garment.'
"Oh, right here Yunie, put this on and hide out, leave everything to us! We'll get that dress sphere back!"
Rikku hands me a costume. A moogle costume. I run behind a pile of boxes and slip on the full body costume, when I re-emerge, I walk over to Rikku and Paine.
"Whew, it's hot!" I say discomfortingly.
"I think we should go before Yuna passes out.
I watch as Rikku and Paine run towards the area where the concert is being held.

(Rikku's POV)
-
Once inside the building, I watch as Paine knocks a guard out, signals to me, and runs around the corner. I stealthily drag the now knocked out guard off to the side.
Y,R,P in position, its show-time girls.
I tell the girls that it's time to rock, and run around the corner as well. I look admiringly at all the sparkly lights everywhere.
"You, what are you doing!"
I look to my left and notice a guard running towards me. As he gets closer I extend my foot and kick him in his sternum, knocking him unconscious.
Paine catches the corner of my eye, and we run to the side of the stage.
"Wow, you can't even tell that's not Yuna!"

(Tidus' POV)
-
I look all around the stage, waiting for Yuna to make an appearance. The lights start to dim, and I see her. First just standing there, then beginning to twirl. Her outfit changes into one fit just for a singer. I watch as she dances, swiftly all around the stage floor.
A distant noise makes me glance to the side of the stage.
"Is that Rikku?" I thoughtfully ponder.
I jump out of my seat and run down to the area where Rikku is standing beside a now unconscious guard.

Authors Note: I don't really like the chapter, but I had to set the stage in Luca somehow.
I want to thank Black Heart Angel for the motivational review. I will try to update at sooner intervals...I have just been so tied up with school, ya know with term papers and everything (makes disgusted face) But anyways, yeah I will try to get a new chapter up by next Tuesday at the latest.
