You start off staring at a plain black screen, but by this you're not surprised in the least. After all, you're getting used to it.
Your not exactly shocked when the black gradually fades out, revealing the same ol' NYATS studio you've seen in every episode of this show. Your energetic host is sitting down in her black leather Lay-Z-Boy, and smiling brightly.
So what else is new?
Fireruby: Wow… cheery, aren't we?
Why should I be? You were gone for a freaking month and you still haven't changed anything on this wanna be show…
Fireruby: … well, that's a little harsh…
And true.
Fireruby: ….. –sigh- …… And true. I'm so sorry, minna-san!!!! I've been DROWNING in homework and chores and… things.
Akemi: -from offstage; laughs- No more then anyone else, though. You're just lazy.
Fireruby: I guess so… I'm sorry.
Akemi: Don't apologize. Just get on with the show already!
Fireruby: -sigh- Right. So… today's guests are Yuna and Tidus from Final Fantasy X!
From somewhere offstage, Yuna and Tidus walk on camera together. They both wave to the audience before sitting down on the small couch next to Fireruby.
Fireruby: Know what? Why don't we start off by having you two introduce yourselves?
Yuna: … alright…
Tidus: -shrugs- Er… oookay.
Yuna: My name is Yuna, daughter of Braska, and summoner of Spira.
Fireruby: Oh! That's not what I meant! We already know that. I mean… don't tell us who you are… just tell us some things about you… make sense?
Yuna: -nods- Okay… well… I like to laugh. And to dance. And in my opinion, being a summoner is a very sad duty, and it takes a strong person to do it… I'm not sure I would have made it through if it weren't for the help of my friends. They are my strength.
Fireruby: ^^ That's sweet. Tidus?
Tidus: I'm Tidus. I'm the son of the famous Jecht, and star player of the Zanarkand Abes.
Fireruby: Th-
Tidus: I love to play blitzball. I think it's the best sport on the planet! And you never play just to see how good you can do. You'll never get anywhere that way. You play to win! I think that motto applies to life as well. You go through it with goals, and try your best to reach them.
Fireruby: … that makes sense…
Akemi: -offstage- ^^ Tidus… you… are… so… hot.
Fireruby: 00;; Shh! Akemi! Him and Yuna are-
Yuna: -eyes narrow- -.-* Excuse me? He's what?
Fireruby: 00;; DO NOT ANSWER THAT!!
Akemi: -ignores her- He's hot. H-O-T. What kinda place do you come from, anyway? It's not a hard word…
Fireruby: -winces-
Tidus: -pales- Yuna…..
Yuna: -jumps up off the couch, face red in anger- Are you insulting me? I'm a summoner! Don't you have ears?!
Akemi: -shrugs indifferently- So… what's a summoner anyway? It can't be all that scary. You look like any other pop princess I've ever seen. You should consider going into the music industry…
Fireruby: -flinches- A summoner… is a person… that can call aeons -monster type things- down from the sky.
Akemi: -eyes widen- …huh…?
Fireruby: -sighs- That's right… please apologize. I don't need bahamut trouncing around here and ruining my studio because you wanted to flirt with a summoner's man.
Tidus: -shrinks down in his seat-
Akemi: -shrugs- Well… I didn't know… besides, I don't think she can call out her monster things in your dimension. So, then what's she gonna do? Twack me with her staff?
Yuna: .*
Tidus: -braces himself-
Fireruby: -gulps and stands up before Yuna can blow her top- If you won't apologize, at least calm down, you two. I don't need another fight on the show… And I have some questions I need to ask.
Yuna: -sighs and sits back down- … alright…
Fireruby: -grins and sits back down as well-
Akemi: -looks and Fireruby- And the questions are…?
Fireruby: Well, the first one today is from Lady Zhanael Daiche… wow, that's a long name. Kinda a tounge twister.
Tidus: I've heard worse…
Fireruby: -forgets about the question- Really? Like what?
Tidus: Well… there were some temples in Spira I couldn't pronounce. Like Macarana…
Yuna: You mean Macalania?
Tidus: Er… right. And some of Yuna's aeons have hard names too. What kind of name is Yojimbo?
Fireruby: You have a point… how's that pronounced anyway?
Yuna: Yo-ji—
Akemi: -from offstage- You guys are getting way off topic. Shouldn't you have at least asked one question by now, Fire?
Fireruby: -pales- You're right! Okay, the first question was for Yuna. "Which one of your aeons is your favorite?"
Yuna: Er… my favorite?
Tidus: Can I say my favorite?
Fireruby: Er… sure. I don't suppose it'll do any harm.
Tidus: ^_^ My favorite aeon is Bahamut! He's totally cool and strong and buff and stuff… Anima is stronger then him, but since she's Seymour's mom and all… I kinda feel weird that Yuna summons her at all, in the first place… she just kinda creeps me out.
Yuna: -still thinking-
Fireruby: Really? My favorite aeon is Shiva, I guess. ^__^ She looks like one of my friends. And, even though she's not really the strongest, she's awesome!
Yuna: -still thinking-
Tidus: … Yuna?
Yuna: I know! …Okay, I figured out who my favorite is.
Fireruby: ^^; Okay. And who would that be?
Yuna: My favorite aeon is Valefor. Valefor was my first aeon, and I feel like I have a… special bond with it.
Fireruby: ^__^ And his second overdrive attack WHIPS BUTT!
Yuna: … I guess.
Tidus: -laughs-
Fireruby: The next question is from my friend, Alikat. She's curious about your dream at the beginning of the game, Tidus.
Tidus: …. What dream?
Fireruby: You had a dream of Yuna and Rikku fighting over you, that ended up in your telling off your dad. A rather strange dream, I must say. Ali'd like to know why Rikku was in your dream.
Tidus: Oh, I remember that dream!
Yuna: -turns to look at him- Oh, really? You were dreaming of my cousin?
Tidus: -stutters- Well… a-and you…
Yuna: -crosses her arms- Even worse.
Tidus: Hey! That was right after I met BOTH of you! It's not like I knew you either of you well enough to choose a favorite!
Fireruby: -chuckles- True enough. Who's your favorite now?
Tidus: Yuna, of course! Did you see me kissing Rikku?
Fireruby: -shrugs- I kinda thought that you and Rikku would make a cute couple. You're so much alike… you really have to see the two of you together to believe it.
Akemi: -from offstage- I remember meeting Rikku… she is a little like him…
Fireruby: They're really cute when they're together, though.
Yuna: -glares at her-
Fireruby: -chuckles nervously- Of course, you and Tidus are way cuter.
Yuna: -smiles happily-
Tidus: Don't you have any more questions for us?
Fireruby: Nope. But, I guess I deserved the minimal fan response… since I've been neglecting the show for about a month now…
Tidus: Oh…
Akemi: So, what're we supposed to do now? We still have a few minutes left…
Fireruby: -shrugs- I dunno.
Tidus: What you need is some audience participation. Back in Zanarkand, every good show or concert has that…
Audience: -claps agreeably-
Fireruby: I guess…
Akemi: … 2 minutes left…
Fireruby: -sigh- We don't have time, I suppose… Maybe next episode we'll throw in some audience participation…
Yuna: -cocks her head- We don't have to come back for the next episode too, do we?
Fireruby: No! Er, I mean… no, next time I'm inviting Haku, from Spirited Away. Kudos to Lady Zhanael Daiche for the suggestion. ^^ So, good bye for now, everyone! Tune in next time, and please send in your suggestions!!
The screen fades back to black as Yuna stands up and walks offstage, to finish her "discussion" with Akemi.
