Disclaimer: Okay, first of all, my trumpet fanfare band is leaving. Their stars aren't showing up, so they have been fired. ((Evil looks from Trumpet fanfare band)) Anyway, I created Connie, her family, her friends, and her family's friends, but, no one from FFX, FFX-2, Yu Yu Hakusho (how however you spell that), as well as anything else I don't know about. Also, the dog and cats names are from a game called Kingdom Hearts, and not made up by me. Okay, now let's go to the story.

"Close Encounters Of The FFX Kind!" Chapter 8:

So, the last thing that happened was I introduced Max, my cousin, to the 10 characters from the random games, and such, and he was out like a light. He fainted, to be exact. Well, as soon as I finished my sentence everyone flocked to him. Grandma Jill came rushing down stairs, all the characters jumped over the couch, and between the couch and chair, and ran to him, I was immediately at his side, as well.

"ANY BODY GOT A POTION!?!" asked Rikku. She looked around at everyone shaking their heads

"Do you?" asked Yuna.

"I left them in my other dress sphere," we all rolled our eyes, and laughed a little. "Well, then what are we gonna do?"

"Grandma Jill," I said, "go get an ice pack."

"What good will that do?" She asked.

"Just get it, please," Grandma Jill nodded, and ran upstairs. "Lenne, get that pillow, Baralai, the blanket." They nodded and went to get them. However, there were like 10 heavy boxes on top, not exactly sure why, but, they were determined to get them. I looked around at the remaining 8 people. "Ummm..." I couldn't decide who would be best at this. Then, I decided. "Paine, come here." Yuna, Rikku, and Aeris all moved aside, and let Paine through. "Slap him."

"WHAT?!?"

"Just... slap him... hard!"

"You sure?"

"YES! JUST HIT HIM!!!" That remark made Rikku jump about 3 feet in the air.

"Okay..." Paine said. She reared back, Yuna, Rikku, and everyone else moved, far... far... very far away. I was left in a bad position, because, if she missed I would get the smack. So, I followed suit, and stood up and moved, fast. I don't think anyone saw it. It will be one moment in time when no one will see what was happening at that particular place. I closed my eyes, 'this will hurt. He'll be mad at me when he wakes up,' I thought. Then I heard a snap like a fire cracker going off.

"OW!!!" he screamed loud enough for people to hear him in the next country. 'At least, he's a wake.' I thought. He held his face in extreme "Paine" ((get it!!! Paine... never mind)). He would not open his eyes however.

Aeris was the first at his side. For some reason this was no surprise to me. Probably because he looked a lot like Cloud, my cousin I mean. He had blonde hair, and well, it was in his face mostly, but you know, he resembled him. Which, I thought was interesting. Now, Cloud looks a lot like Tidus, but Tidus was there, which is why Yuna wasn't at his side. Shuyin also looked like Tidus and Cloud, but, I'm sure you can figure it out, still Lenne hadn't jumped up like Aeris, for some unknown reason, but, there was Aeris. I ran next. Just at that moment Grandma Jill came down the stairs with the ice pack. She gave it to me, "Where did you slap him?" I asked Paine.

"There," she pointed to the right side of his face.

"Hold this there," I said and gave him the ice pack.

"AHHH!!!" He screamed again when I put the ice pack on his face. I must have pushed hard.

"We got it!" said Lenne, and gave me the pillow and blanket. I took them from her and put them both under his head.

"We didn't have two pillows, so this will have to do," I said. "Are you feeling better?" I asked.

"I have a major head ache. It feels like someone dropped a car on my head. What hit me?" he asked.

"Ummm a book, hit you in the head. It fell off the book shelf." I motioned for Rikku to hand me a book. She gave me a dictionary, and I laid it near his head.

"Let him breath," said Aeris.

I raised my eye brows and looked at everyone. I leaned over to Yuna, "Aeris has a crush" I whispered in her ear. She laughed a little, but then stifled it. I figured to lessen the shock I should probably be the first person he sees when he opens his eyes, which he has yet to do. "Look out," I said to Aeris. She realized that is wasn't Cloud, still she wasn't giving up. Still, she moved because she knew he and I had a connection, which we do. I leaned over him. "Can you open your eyes?" I asked.

"Yeah," he said. He slowly opened his eyes. I was right over him, so he saw me, which I'm sure helped. "He's okay!" I said.

"Wonderful!" said Grandma Jill.

I reached for the dictionary, held it up and said, "This is what hit you," I said. I didn't want him to hate me forever, so I lied, a little, just a small white one.

"That would do it," he said.

I smiled at him. "Okay, can you sit up?"

"Probably, I'll give it a shot," I helped and so did Grandma Jill, and we got him upright. Before we did I motioned for everyone to get out of sight. "Whoa," He said and shook his head, "did the room always used to spin like that?" he asked. I laughed a little. We helped him get to a chair.

Then, Tidus knocked over a stack of canned goods. My eyes grew wide. I motioned for Tidus to duck. "Sora!" I said. "Stupid dog!" then laughed a little. I hoped that would cover. Then the stack of boxes that had been on top of the blanket and pillow fell. Yuna was behind them, so she stood and ran. "Kairi!!! What's with the animals Grandma Jill?" She just shrugged. Then, Kurama, who had been hiding under a shelf, tried to stand up, and hit his head, and made a really loud sound. I had been doing pretty good blaming it on the animals, so I said, "Riku!"

"Yes?!" Rikku said. I hit my head on my hand. That killed it. We were found out. "Oops." She said.

I rolled my eyes. "Come here," I said to her. "Close your eyes." I said to Max, and he did. Rikku stepped in front of him. "Okay, open them. Rikku, this is Max. Max, you remember Rikku."

"Nice to meet you Max!" she said and stuck out her hand. Max, confused, dazed, probably thinking he was hallucinating, and really freaked out by the entire situation shook Rikku's hand. "Max? What is with you guys and your weird names? The only things with normal names around here are the animals. We'll have to find a name for you too!" she said.

"Connie, what's going on?" asked Max.

"Everyone come out," I said. They all came out from their hiding places. "Max, once again this is Yuna, Lenne, Baralai, Kurama, Mrs. Auron, Calli, Tidus and ... where is..." I asked.

"AERIS!!!" we all said in unison, except for Max, of course. She was gone. "Everyone go look for her." Everyone took off, looking for Aeris. I stayed and explained everything to Max. When I had explained everything up to the point where he was knocked out by the "book" I said, "Now, I have to go find one of the characters that has wondered off. I'll be back." I took off running. "AERIS!!!"

As I left I heard him say. "Nothing is ever normal around that girl."
