Hey I'm back for chapter 2! Thank you soooo much to people who reviewed, it
made me so happy that people actually like this fic. I was really worried
that everyone would hate this so I'm really glad that there are people who
like this so again thank you so much. Oh and by the way in the summer it
said RikkuGippal YunaBaralai and PN, well the PN stands for PainNooj I just
didn't have enough room to put that. I'm sorry if anyone was confused.
This is taking place at the same time as the last chapter. So this chapter
is happening meanwhile all the stuff in ch1is happening.
*******************************************************************
"Why do we have these daily meetings so early?" Baralai whined to himself.
He slowly walked to the room that the meeting was being held. He got to the
door of the room and pushed it open.
"Good morning Praetor" one of Baralai's advisers greeted. He was a middle-
aged man with black hair with some white in it. He wore robes, which most
Yevonites ware, of red and white.
Baralai's advisers job was to help him keep in touch with the people of New
Yevon, and to help him figure out what they wanted and needed. Because of
this Baralai relationship with the public was very good. He was very well
respected despite his young age.
"Praetor I have the report we told you we were going to do, about the
publics opinion on you since the Vegnagun...incident." One of the advisers
said "Its not as bad as we expected, but its not a good as we wanted it to
be." he stopped to see what Baralai's reaction to this was, but when he saw
none he continued "It seems that because what happened with Vegnagun the
public is having a hard time trusting you like the used to. They don't hate
you though. Its just that they don't really trust you."
"Well, what good will it do if they like me but not trust me?" Baralai
asked with his face still calm and shown no emotion.
"But because they still like you, we have a chance to gain back their
trust, and we have come up with a plan to help you do this." the adviser
said with a grin.
"What is your plan?" Baralai asked with a raised eyebrow
"Well you are good friends with High Summoner Yuna right?"
"Yea I guess, why?"
"Well a quick and easy way to gain the peoples trust again is to let them
know that the High Summoner trusts you. So a sure way to get the people to
trust you without them thinking that your forcing them to is to have some
kind of close relationship."
"What do you mean by a 'close relationship'?" Baralai asked
"A romantic relationship." the adviser simply stated.
"WHAT??!!" Baralai shouted in shock
"Lady Yuna is loved by everyone and will be trusted no matter what, the
people will follow her example and trust you again if you do this."
Baralai sat there with shock still all over his face. He understood what
his adviser meant and he had to admit that it was a good idea and that it
would work...But how would he do it? How would he ask the most loved and
wanted women in Spira to have a relationship with him?
"So are you going to do this?" the adviser asked
"I guess that it is the fastest way to do this...so I guess I'll have to do
it..." Baralai said. He had to call her anyway; he had to tell her about how
she has to come to Bevelle to plan the ceremony for the 3rd year
anniversary for the eternal calm. "Ok what else is there to be addressed?"
"Well Bevelle..." Another man started to talk and as the meeting went on for
another 1 ½, and no matter how hard Baralai tried to get it out of his
mind, all he could focus on was the phone call he had to make to Yuna when
the meeting was over.
************************************************************************
"I'm sooooo glad that I get to be away from Djose for a week and a half."
Gippal muttered to himself as he walked down the streets of Bevelle. He
looked at the sky and noticed that the sun was starting to set. He didn't
plan to get to Bevelle till Friday, but he got restless at Djose and
decided to come to Bevelle early. As he walked down the street, heading to
New Yevon, he noticed that people were staring at him.
'I cant believe that that people still don't like it when there's an Al
Bhed in Bevelle' Gippal thought to himself. As Gippal headed to the
entrance of the New Yevon headquarters, he shot a nasty look at a man that
was staring at him then pushed open the door and entered.
He walked down the hallway that lead to Baralai's office and saw pictures
of the old Masters of Yevon on the walls.
'I never liked any of them.' he thought to himself 'They were all creepy,
especially that Seymour guy, he was the creepiest of them all, and from
what I heard...' he shuddered 'I was right.' then he continued to walk
towards Baralai's office
"Hiya Baralai!" Gippal barged into his office
"Gippal have you heard of knocking?" Baralai looked up from some papers on
his desk
"Its nice to see you too." Gippal said with a laugh
"How are you doing?" Baralai asked with his face breaking into a smile.
"why are you here early?"
"I had to get away from Djose. I've been stuck there without a vacation or
break for a Month! I was going crazy I had to get out so I decided to come
to here early."
"Yea I know what you mean, I really need a long vacation too." Baralai said
with a sigh.
"Whats up? You seem kinda stressed." Just as the words left his mouth he
regretted it. He knew that a long boring story about New Yevon and its
problems would follow his question.
"I just got done leaving a message for Lady Yuna" Baralai said as he leaned
back in his chair.
"oh.." Gippal said, he was glad that it wasn't what he expected, but he
still didn't understand what was wrong "So...?"
"Well this morning my advisers told me that the people of New Yevon, still
like me, but they don't trust me, because of the whole Vegnagun thing."
"I see...but what dose that have to do with Yuna?" Gippal asked feeling lost
and still not understanding why his friend was so stressed.
"My advisers came up with a little plane to help me regain the trust of the
public. They told me that I have to get in a 'close relationship' with
her."
"A 'close relationship' as in dating?"
"Yup"
"oooh I get it. They want you to be in a 'close relationship' with her
because when people see you two together and they think that she trusts you
with her hart, then everyone that trusts her will trust you." Gippal said
with a grin.
"Exactly"
"Are you gunna do it?"
"I have to it's the fastest way."
"Did you ask her yet?"
"No I though that it would be better to explain the situation and then ask
her when were face to face. So I think I will ask her during next week when
she's here in Bevelle."
"Don't stress about it. I bet that if you just explain everything to her
she'll help you out. You know how she likes to help people so that's like a
guaranteed 'close relationship' with her. Plus Yuna's hot. So I don't see
anything bad in it for you."
"hahaha I guess your right." Baralai laughed
"I know I'm right" Gippal said with a cocky grin "So where is everyone
gunna say while there here? Are we gunna stay at you mansion?" Gippal asked
"Yes everyone will stay at me house. I have a lot of extra rooms, so there
would be no point in making you guys stay at an inn." Baralai said as he
started to put away his papers and other things.
"Are you done for tonight?"
"Yes"
"Great! I'm really tired! It was a long trip from Djose." Gippal said then
he headed out the door.
"I'm pretty tired too." Baralai said to no one, then closed the lights and
left for home.
