****Chapter 3: Luca ********************
The Airship arrived at Luca late in the day. The sun was half down and the moon starting to show in the sky.
"Alright guys, here's the plan. Kimahri and Auron go the whole fight on tape. We're going to go over to the theater and watch the whole thing. Then Tidus, you'll be able to see what kind of mistakes you made during the fight then improve on them. This is much less a 'party' movie as it is a movie to help better yourself." Wakka explained as the crew walked off of the airship dock.
"Aw, c'mon Wakka I didn't do that bad. I may have left myself open to him a couple times, but for god's sake I won!" Tidus said in his defense.
"Anyway, like I was saying before I was interrupted..." Wakka said as he glanced a playful look at Tidus. "...We will be going to the theater for the show, then afterwards we're going to head over to the café for a victory dinner. The Aurochs and the Goers are going to be there to congratulate you for your victory. Then we can all settle in for a nice nights of rest. Because in the morning we're probably gonna head over to the ruins to start the first day of training." Wakka informed the group as they walked into town.
The buzz of the crowd in the town square brought back many memories for Tidus. It seemed not to long ago that he was here for the blitzball tournament. The group split up, as they all got ready to go to the show.
"Okay gang, we're all gonna go get ready for tonight. So you all go get made up and pretty while me and Tidus go and reserve the inn. Meet us at the theater in an hour, and you better be there or we'll start without you." Wakka explained to the group.
They split up and the girls all took off together, probably going to take their sweet time getting ready. Kimahri and Auron left to the theater together to set up the show. Wakka and Tidus headed off towards the inn to set up for the night.
"Okay we're just gonna go in and tell them that we need all the beds they have and maybe some extra. Let's hope they don't give us any trouble." Wakka mentioned to Tidus on the way to the inn.
"Yeah I'm sure they won't. We have enough gil to pay for it." Tidus said as they approached. "Wakka I have to ask you something. Did I really make that many mistakes when I was fighting?"
"Well you kinda stopped and talked to me a couple times, and you got cocky, but other than that, you were great. I only said that about the mistakes so that the whole town didn't end up getting invited, not to make you feel guilty. Okay man, so cheer up this is your night." Wakka reassured Tidus
They walked up to the inn and approached the desk. The man behind it must have been new because he looked pretty nervous when they walked in.
"We're gonna need all of your rooms and beds tonight and we'll be outta here at about mid-day tomorrow. Is that okay?" Wakka asked the attendant behind the desk.
"You need ALL of the rooms!? Well you got lucky because it just so happens that the inn is completely vacant tonight." Said the attendant as he fumbled with the papers on his desk. This guy was definitely new here. He fumbled around nervously until he found the paper work that was right in front of his face. "Okay you just need to fill out this paper work for the rooms and if you want the whole inn it will cost you 600 gil."
"Okay that's cool but I gotta warn ya we may be a little rowdy. This guy right here just won a fighting tournament and we're celebrating okay." Wakka said as he handed back the paper work and the payment. "But now we have to go. We have a movie to watch."
"Don't work to hard okay guy." Tidus threw in as they were walking out the door.
"Oh don't worry, I won't." said the attendant as he fumbled with armfuls of paper work that he was carrying into the back.
Wakka and Tidus decided to walk through the town and take in the sights. They made their way over to the bar to get some drinks since they had a half an hour or so to kill. They sat around and talked to an old blitzball veteran about the 'good old days'. They left the bar and started off towards the theater.
They walked in the doors to the theater to find the room full of people. It was as if at least half the town was there. In the middle of a big crowd were the girls standing there talking with their friends. Auron and Kimahri were nowhere to be found, probably off getting the video ready.
"Hey what's going on here!? I thought this was supposed to be a private screening of the fight. I didn't expect the whole town to be here." Wakka was raving as he walked over towards the girls. "Yuna, what's going on here?"
"Well, we were walking through the town talking about the screening and well, I guess everyone thought it was a free for all, because they all just started showing up." Yuna said as she was acting all innocent.
"Hey, Hey, Hey. Wakka clam down, it's all right. I think I would like it better if all these people were here so that I could hear their reactions." Tidus mentioned. You could tell he was defending Yuna. He was always defending her.
"Everybody take seat. Kimahri is starting show now." Boomed Kimahri out over the audience. A sudden silence fell over the crowd. The video started out showing Wakka and Tidus in their corner. Wakka was advising Tidus about Cloud. Then the fight started.
**********
Meanwhile, Cloud and Barret were searching the map on the Highwind for Tidus' signal. They had flown all the way over to Spira and now they were searching.
"Cloud, I don't even know why we're going to find some punk kid for a tournament just so HE can win, instead of us." Barret exclaimed
"It's the fact that we'll be friends with his group. I know people like him. Hanging around him will also get us the respect just because we know him. I'll talk him out of participating in any tournaments for a while after this one. Then while he's gone it's just you and me there. After that we can take back that fame, plus we'll have the respect." Cloud explained still completely fixed on the map.
"Yeah well as long as you don't have to fight him. I would hate for him to get all cocky and for me to have to handle him." Said Barret with a smirk on his face.
"Wait a minute... Yep there he is. The map says that he's in the town of Luca. If we step on it we can make it there just before morning." Cloud said
************
"All right everybody drinks on me. Really enjoy yourselves okay." Wakka yelled over that loud buzz within the café. "Hey Tidus you enjoying yourself?"
"Yeah I am." Tidus yelled from across the bar. "But I'm really tired I think I'm gonna head back to the inn now."
"Okay brotha, I'll be there in about an hour okay. You go get yourself some sleep." Wakka yelled to Tidus as he left the bar.
The night was warm. Tidus was feeling quite drowsy from all the action of the past couple days. He just wanted to get to the inn, get in bed and pass out. He walked inside and there was no one around.
"Guess the attendant has called it a night". He said to himself as he trudged up the stairs. The room was dark but Tidus did not care, he found the first empty bed and climbed in to it. He immediately was out. When he woke in the morning the room was full of people. He made his way towards the door stepping over people carefully, trying not to wake anybody up.
"Kind of a mess isn't it. I tripped three times on the way in." Came a voice from the darker corner.
The voice startled Tidus so bad that he tripped over the person in front of him and landed on some others. They must have been up really late because they didn't even budge. He looked over to see Cloud walking towards with an open hand out to help him up.
"Jesus, next time warn me before you just jump out of nowhere and just start talking. I'm probably gonna have to change my pants now." Tidus said as Cloud pulled him up.
"Quit your complaining. I'm just here to find out if you've made your decision about the tournament. Are you in our not?" Cloud said while he walked down the stairs with Tidus.
"Yeah I'm gonna do it. It's in about six months right? That gives me enough time to train and get myself way pumped for it." Tidus told Cloud
"Okay. Well my trainer, Barret, and I are gonna go start training. The tournament is in exactly six months from today. You need to get to the Battle Square area of the Golden Saucer. That's on Gaia. You need to be there two days before the tournament, just so they can go through all of the technical stuff. Here's a communicator. It only works on Gaia, so call me when you get there and we'll work through all of this stuff. Okay?" Cloud said before he departed.
"I think I got it. I guess I'll be talking to ya then." Tidus said. With that they shook each others hands and headed their separate ways. Tidus walked back into the inn to see Wakka coming down the stairs.
"What was that all about?" He asked Tidus.
"Well Wakka you better go wake the others and get ready. We have a tournament to train for."
