Chapter 3
"So...lover boy has a crush with the new comer to the school." Wakka said as he burst into laughter.
"Shhhhhh! Keep it down! I need your help Wakka, what should I do?" Asked Tidus.
"Forget about her, man. We have a big Blitzball tournament tonight. Ya need full concentration without thinking 'bout a girl ya have no chance with." Wakka told him.
"HEY! What do ya mean no chance with!" Tidus asked furiously.
"Look at it like this bud. First: she is Rikku's cousin, the girl who ya went out with yesterday! Second: she is only staying for a couple of months. And Third: she has no interest in you what so ever." Wakka told him.
Tidus didn't reply.
"And besides, what about Jess? Do ya still like her?"
"I guess but she hasn't exactly been talking to me lately cause I didn't take her to the mall the other day." Tidus replied.
"Uh huh. Well, do ya like Rikku?" Wakka asked.
"Rikku...well...she is cool and all but—"
"Ya like Yuna more." Wakka said finishing off Tidus' sentence.
Tidus nodded. As Tidus turned his head, he saw Yuna, Lulu and Rikku down the hall by the lockers talking and laughing.
"There is just something about her, ya know? Her smile...so pleasant. Her voice...so soft. Just being around her is breathtaking. Her eyes and hair and personality..." He then turned back to Wakka.
"OKAY ENOUGH! I get it already! Stop getting all mushy on me!" Wakka begged.
"Mushy eh? What about you and Lulu last night? You were never into girls like her. Why the sudden change?" Asked Tidus.
"Well, Lu, she's different. Ya know, not like the other girls I've dated." Wakka told him.
"Uh huh. Well anyways, I got to go before I'm late for class again. See ya." Tidus said just before running off down the hallway.
As Tidus turned a corner passing the library, "Tidus!"
A voice shouted at him. Tidus immediately stopped and turned around. "Dad? What are you doing here?" Tidus asked.
"It seems that now a days you only have time to chat with your friends and flirt with girls. I'm the new principle here." Jecht told him.
"No way! Why this school?" Asked Tidus all bummed out.
"To keep an eye on you. It seems that your grades are going down because of all this Blitzball you've been playing. And on top of that, you have a science test Monday. Have you even studied?"
"Uh...no..." Tidus told him embarrassed.
"Well I know that I can't trust you to study with Wakka. He is doing just as bad as you are. If you want to participate in you're little Blitzball tournament tonight then you better find someone from you're class to study with." Jecht told him.
"Yeah, sure dad."
"Good. Now off to class." Jecht told him. Tidus slightly nodded then ran off again.
Finally, Tidus opened the door to his Al Bhed class. As he walked in, the whole class looked up at him including Yuna who was also in the class. "Tidus, can't you ever be on time for once?" The teacher asked.
"Sorry. Got held up by the principle." Tidus explained.
The class slightly laughed considering the principal was his father. "Enough class. Tidus take a seat behind Yuna." He told him. Tidus nodded then walked over to the desk.
As he walked passed Yuna, she looked away once his eyes caught hers. Tidus then continued walking to his desk then sat down.
"Okay as you know class, this is your second language class. Well start with the basics then later in the year will be performing mini scripts and plays." He said.
Most of the class was overjoyed to hear that they will be performing a play while others groaned.
"Now lets begin. You'll all be assigned a project due at the end of the year. The project is simple. Write things down about you're year here. Could be about work, friends, relationships, activities, anything. Then they'll be translated into Al Bhed and presented. But just pick one topic and it doesn't have to be long." Just as he finished the instructions the bell rang and it was time for 6th period lunch.
Everyone grabbed their books and headed out. As Yuna picked up her books, she began to walk out and into the hallway.
"Yuna!" Tidus called out.
Yuna turned around. "Oh, hi Tidus." Yuna said as he approached her.
"Yuna, I was wondering. Since were both in the same science class on Monday, I was wondering if you wanted to get together on the weekend and um...study." Tidus said nervously.
"Sure. Where did you want to study?" Yuna asked.
Tidus thought for a moment. If we study at her place, Rikku might get suspicious and I wouldn't want to get Yuna in trouble with Rikku's dad. There is always my place but then my dad...um...
"How about...uh...my place tomorrow night?" Asked Tidus.
"Sounds good. See you then." Yuna said then walked off.
At lunch, Tidus took his usual table in the corner with Wakka and the Blitzball team. "Hay Tidus! You wouldn't believe what I found out!" Wakka said as he sat down beside him.
"What could it possibly be Wakka?" Tidus asked uninterested.
"Well I found out that since we have the tournament, after lunch we have to go down there to practice for the rest of the day then the actual thing. That means we get the rest of the day off." Wakka told him. Jassu and the other blitzers on the team cheered and shouted.
"Excellent. Then after the tournament it's the weekend so double bonus." Tidus told him.
"I was thinking of asking Lulu to come to watch us play, ya. You should ask Yuna to come too." Wakka said.
Tidus blushed. "Ask Yuna...to come...uh...I don't know." Tidus said nervously.
Wakka didn't reply.
Soon after, the bell rang. "Just in time!" Wakka said as he stood up.
"Huh?" Tidus was clueless.
"Come on!" Wakka told him as he dragged him out of the seat and together walked over to Lulu and the others.
"Hi ladies. Tidus and I were wondering if you and Yuna would like to come to watch us at the Blitzball tournament tonight." Wakka asked.
"Sounds like fun! We'll be there, right Yuna?" Lulu said.
"Uh...yeah! Wouldn't miss it!" Yuna said with a smile.
Rikku walked up to them. "Hay! Watcha talking about?" Rikku asked.
"Were going to their tournament tonight. Wanna come?" Lulu said.
"Sure! I love Blitzball!" Rikku shouted. Everyone laughed.
"Well, were outta here." Tidus said.
"We'll cheer for you." Yuna told him. Tidus smiled then left the cafeteria with Wakka and the team.
Just coming out of the school, the Luca Goers approached them.
"Well, well, well. Looks like you're off early to the Blitz stadium Besaid Aurochs." Bickson said with attitude.
"So what's your goal this time? You gonna 'do your best' again?" Graav said just before they began to laugh.
"Ha! It's too bad your best isn't good enough. Why even bother showing up?" Bickson said.
"This time, we play to win. Just you wait!" Tidus said determined.
"Like hell you will. The Luca Goers win every year and there is no way some pathetic team like you are going to beat us!" Graav told them.
Tidus became furious just ready to punch the living day lights out of them.
"Come boys, we have a tournament to win." Bickson said then left with the team.
"We'll show them!" Wakka said.
"Lets go." Tidus told them then motioned into the bus.
Tidus and the others hanged in the locker room as they got prepared for their big game. "So Wakka, you think we can win this year?" Tidus asked.
"Of course! We're one of the best teams in Spira. If we beat the Luca Goers then we'll be the top team." Wakka replied.
"I guess."
Soon after their coach, Auron, entered the room.
"Listen up team. This tournament will be a synch if we play right. All we have to do is beat two teams to get the cup." Auron told them.
"Really? Well, who are we up against?" Asked Tidus.
"First we'll be up against the Al Bhed Psyches then the Luca Goers. If we beat these teams, we get the cup." Auron said.
The Aurochs cheered loudly with excitement. "Well c'mon team! We're up first. Lets win that cup." Auron told them.
"Looks like we're gonna face the Goers after all." Wakka said as he walked out of the locker room with Tidus.
"Bring them on!" Tidus told him determined. Wakka smiled.
"Welcome to this years Blitzball champion tournament! The stadium is heating up as we have Blitzball teams joining us from all over Spira. First off, we have the Besaid Aurochs from Besaid Isle and are very determined this year to win. Next, the Kilika Beasts from Kilika, followed by the Al Bhed Phychs from Bekanel Island, the Ronso Fangs from Mount Gagazet, Guado Glories from Guadosalam and finally our very own Luca Goers with an amazing win for over six years without losing a single game! The first match will be the Besaid Aurochs up against the Al Bhed Phychs. Were hoping to see an exciting game today. Make way to the stadium teams and get ready to blitz!" The announcer announced.
The teams made their way into the sphere of water as they swam around and did some practice shots before the game began. Since only six people can play on a team, Tidus stood on the bench while Wakka, Datto, Letty, Jassu, Botta and Keepa played against Eigaar, Blappa, Berrik, Judda, Lakkam and Nimrook from the Al Bhed team.
The game began and the Blitzball was sent out into the sphere as the teams began to race after it.
"C'mon Yuna! The game already started!" Lulu shouted.
"Just a minute!" Yuna said as she ran up to her.
Lulu looked around. "Not again! Where is Rikku?" Asked Lulu.
Yuna too looked around and spotted her talking to someone on the Goers team.
"We'll win for sure just like any other time. The Besaid Aurochs isn't even a competition to us!" Bickson told her.
"I hope you win! I'll be cheering for you!" Rikku told him as she slightly blushed.
Lulu and Yuna walked up to them. "Rikku, what are you doing? Were missing the game." Lulu told her.
"Oh sorry! I got a little lost and Bickson here helped me out!" Rikku explained.
"Lets go already!" Lulu said grabbing Rikku's arm and began to walk off to the stadium. As they walked down a street in Luca, there were many screens showing the Blitzball game.
"Look! The game!" Yuna said pointing to the T.V screen. Lulu and Rikku looked at it.
Jassu passes the ball to Wakka who had an open shot to score. Wakka catches the ball just before Berrik did then began to swim a little closer to the net with Blappa just behind him. Just as Wakka kicked the Blitzball forcefully towards the net, Blappa harshly tackled Wakka trying to get the ball.
It sailed past the goalie just as the timer hit 00:00 on the second half, making the final score Besaid Aurochs: 3, Al Bhed Phychs: 2. The crowd goes wild cheering and waving their hands in the air. Wakka's image appeared on every T.V screen as he grunted in pain.
The referee then swam over to Wakka and told him to sit out to rest but he insisted that he was okay.
"He is in no condition to continue playing! He just got tackled!" Yuna said.
"That's Wakka. He's always like that." Rikku told her.
"Well we missed the first game but if we hurry, we can catch the second one." Lulu said. Yuna and Rikku agreed so together made their way into the stadium.
The Besaid Aurochs were now in their locker room resting until they were up against the Luca Goers.
"Good work team. We got a ten minute rest until were back in the water. The Ronso Fangs are up against the Guado Glories right now. I must say good win team." Auron told them. Auron then turned to Wakka. "Are you gonna be okay Wakka?" Auron asked.
"I'll be fine coach." He told him.
"That was quite a tackle he gave you. Maybe Tidus should take your place for the next game."
"NO! I'll be able to play." Wakka said almost shouting at him.
"Well okay. Get ready team. Looks like we're up again!"
"Welcome back everyone! Now for the final round we have the Besaid Aurochs back up and are now facing the Luca Goers. The winning team of this game will take home the cup. Teams, get ready to blitz!" The announcer announced.
The Blitzball shot up into the sphere and the teams raced after it. Balgerda from the Luca Goers was the first to catch the ball and began to swim to the opposing net. Datto and Jassu quickly surrounded her and then attempted to steal the ball. Balgerda quickly threw the ball a pass to Gravv but Jassu caught it first. He then quickly swam over to the opposing net but was stopped by Bickson. Jassu did a quick pass to Botta and he scored the first goal in the game.
The crowd erupted in a cheer full of excitement and laughter. The Luca Goers were beginning to become annoyed with the Aurochs and switched to plan B. The teams got in their positions to begin a new round. The Blitzball shot up once again in the sphere. As the teams raced to get the ball, Wakka was the first to catch it.
As he began to swim to the Goers' net, Bickson and Graav swam beside him then went in and painfully tackled him, which caused Wakka to drop the ball. Wakka floated in the water in pain as Bickson took the ball and swam away. Most of the Aurochs went over to him, which gave the Goers an easy goal and tied the game at half point.
The Aurochs then called out for a quick timeout.
"This isn't looking too good for the Aurochs who just lost their captain. They called a quick timeout and will be back out soon." The announcer explained.
Jassu took Wakka out of the game and into their locker room where he could lay down on a bench.
"Tidus, your to take Wakka's place. Crush those Goers and win the cup." Auron told him.
"They don't scare me." Tidus told him. Wakka turned to Tidus.
"Be careful. Bickson and Graav and dangerous together." Wakka warned him.
Tidus nodded then left the locker room with Jassu.
"It looks like the Aurochs are returning and replacing Wakka is player #16, Tidus." The announcer announced. The crowd cheered.
"Hay! Tidus is in the game!" Rikku shouted.
"Lets see how well he can play." Lulu mumbled to herself.
The second half of the game begins. Starts off like always when both teams would race after the ball. Just as Letty was about to catch it, Graav pushed him out of the way and grabbed hold of the ball. Graav slightly looked around to see where his teammates were then began to swim to the Aurochs net. With only 3 minutes left, Tidus quickly came from beneath Gravv and knocked the ball right out of his hands. The ball floated until Datto caught it and made a swim for it towards the opposing net.
Tidus swam right in front of Datto, knocking any Goers who would attempt to take the ball. The clock was ticking and they still had to swim more then half across the sphere to the Goers net. The other Aurochs stood scattered in front of Tidus and Datto. Abus, Bickson and Balgerda were coming right in front of Tidus and Datto. Tidus turned around and signaled Datto to pass. Datto nodded.
Tidus began to swim forward towards the Goers net as Datto passed the ball to Jassu. He swam a bit then passed to Botta across the sphere. He caught the ball then continued up a bit then passed to Letty.
The Goers were becoming confused because they didn't know who to swim after to get the ball.
Letty looked around and saw the Goers swimming towards him looking extremely angry. Tidus turned around and singled Letty to pass him the ball. With only 30 seconds left of the game, Letty kicked the ball powerfully towards Tidus and he managed to catch it with no problem. Bickson and Graav motioned closer to Tidus as he began to perform his amazing Jecht shot.
The crowd stood up speechless keeping their eyes glued onto Tidus. Tidus vigorously kicked the ball. It then began to travel at an incredible speed aiming right for the net. The goalie was shaking, not knowing if he could catch it at its speed. 10 seconds, 9...8...7...6...there was no telling the outcome. The ball swiftly sailed passed the goalie, scoring.
The crowd erupted in the most loudest cheer ever as the final score came out to, Besaid Aurochs: 2, Luca Goers: 1.
The Aurochs gathered together in the middle of the sphere and congratulated each other in laughter and excitement. As for the Goers, especially Bickson and Graav, were furious and wouldn't let them get away with this winning.
As Tidus and the others returned to their locker room, Wakka, who was feeling much better, stood there waiting for their return.
"Wakka look! We won! We beat the Goers!" Tidus said full of excitement.
"That's great to here! And tonight we celebrate!" Wakka said.
Later that night, Wakka and the others celebrated their victory at one of the most expensive bars in all of Luca.
"Cheers! To our victory!" Wakka said holding up his drink.
"Cheers!" Everyone else said joining in.
Soon after, full of rage, Bickson and Graav entered the bar and walked over to their table.
