Once again, you see a pitch-black screen.
Gradually, the black fades out and you see a brightly lit studio. In front on the camera, is a black leather Lay-Z-Boy and matching couch. Sitting on the edge of the Lay-Z-Boy, and looking quite uncomfortable, is a teenage girl with copper colored skin, long shiny black hair, and golden brown eyes. She smiles nervously at the camera.
Girl: Um… hiya. Welcome to NYATS Live. Um… my name's Akemi. Fireruby's been grounded for nearly killing her sister yesterday, so she's asked me to fill in for her tonight… So, uh… let's start the show…
Nice idea.
Akemi: ^^ Thank-you… uh, what's your name?
Rocky.
Akemi: Right-O. Thanks, Rocky.
No problem.
Akemi: So, anyway… please welcome today's guest… uh… -looks at a note written on the back of her hand- Oh… Rikku from Final Fantasy!
Rikku happily walks onstage. She's wearing her usual orange tank top and short green shorts. Everyone in the audience applauds and some of the men let out whistles and catcalls. She grins and sits down on the little black couch.
Akemi: 00 Wait… you're a girl? But… isn't Rikku a Japanese guy name?!
Rikku: ^^; Um, well… Rikku's my name, and I'm a girl… so I guess it can be both…
Akemi: oo; Right… Sorry… um, moving right along… -she fumbles around for a bit before pulling out Fireruby's infamous paper stack. She shuffles through it, muttering to herself- …how does she find ANYTHING in here…?!
Rikku: o0 Um… do you need some help?
Akemi: No… no…
Finally, she pulls out a sheet of paper, letting out a small cry of triumph.
Akemi: Okay… so… this letter is from 'Deansey003'. He writes, "Dear, Rikku. In the beginning of your game, Tidus has a dream with you and Yuna, fighting over him. I guess my question is, do you really like Tidus? And, would you fight your cousin for him?"
Rikku: -turns a lovely shade of red before she starts yelling at the audience- Fryd piechacc ec dryd uv ouinc?! Vun ouin hucao, hu kuut ehvunsydeuh, Tidus pamuhkc du Yunie! Hud sa!

Akemi: 00; What… did she just say?
She was talking in Al Bhed. Sometimes she does that when she's really emotional.
Akemi: 00; Right… thanks, Rocky. Rikku… take a deep breath… calm down… now, what did you just say?
Rikku: -calms down a bit- I said it was none of his business.
Akemi: oo; Right… um… next question I guess… -she shuffles through the papers again- Uh… let's see here… oh, here's one… Aww… it's a love letter… from… Rocky?
Shhhhh!
Akemi: um… it's from an anonymous source. It reads… "Rikku, your hair reminds me of the bananas I so love to chop up and put in my cereal… your shirt is like the pumpkin pie I throw out at Halloween… your spirit is like that of my deceased puppy, Gypsy… And your eyes… your wondrous eyes… like that of the jewels on the Mummy's temple, I saw last week at the movies. I love everything about you, Rikku!" 0.0;
Aww… that anonymous source is such a romantic…
Audience: 0.0;
Akemi: That… is sooo disturbing…
Rikku: ^^ It was kinda sweet, though, wasn't it? I'm like his deceased puppy! He must miss her so much! I'm happy I can fill in that gap for him…
Akemi: 0.0; Yes… I see… -she squirms nervously on the edge of the Lay-Z-Boy-
Audience man: I disagree!!!
Akemi+Rikku: What?
Audience man: I disagree with the letter!
Akemi: o.o Oh… how so?
Audience man: Her hair is not like bananas! It looks more like yellow peppers!
Rikku: ^^ Awww! Thank-you!
Akemi: oo; Yes… right… I have to go now. I need to get back to Fireruby's house and ask her to explain to me what drugs you all must be taking… so, I guess this is the end of the show… tune in next time, when FIRERUBY will be back… -mutters- Thank God…. And -looks at the notes on her hand- Seijiro Hiko will be guest starring… till then…
The screen fades to black as Akemi falls off the edge of the Lay-Z-Boy and finally lets out her suppressed cry of utter confusion.
