AN: Firstly this is my first fic so I don't know what you'll think of it.

Secondly I have mixed the times up a bit so it's after Yuna's defeated Sin, before Vegnagun but Paine, Gippal, Leblanc, Nooj, Baralai and people like that are in it but Tidus and Seymour are still here and there wasn't the whole Seymour wanting to become Sin thing. The only time they meet is the times like operation Mi'hen and stuff like that and he did ask her to marry him but she said no. So basically the whole Bevelle bit is left out. Plus Seymour is younger (17). Also anything I put in that happens in FFX2 to the characters in this I'm sorry I have not completed the game yet I'm stuck on the three people after Shiva. Any tips on how to defeat them I will be grateful for. Also sometimes in the story it changes to thoughts so watch out for that.

Anyway enjoy and please review.

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters from FFX/FFX2 they belong to Squaresoft/ Square Enix I only own Luthae unless they have made up Seymour's little sis called Luthae but for now she's mine!!!

Chapter 1 A New Start and Some New Friends

The blitz ball was getting tossed round so fast I could barely keep my eyes on it. One girl to a girl in black, to Yuna, to a blonde girl in a yellow bikini top, then intercepted by a tanned girl. I was in goal as usual. Your probably wondering how I know Yuna. Pretty hard not to everyone knows the defeater of Sin, bringer of the Eternal Calm. I don't know her as a person though so she could be nice I mean it's only my first day at Djose High and I don't really know anyone yet.

Anyway back to the game as I was saying I was in goal. I didn't expect the ball to come to me as we had a pretty good team. I was always the kind of person to be picked last on these kinds of things. I was the only one left at the end of picking teams and Yuna's team got me. I mean I offered to be in goal because I knew we wouldn't win with me in the middle of it all, but just once I'd like to have a go in the centre and play a game that didn't matter about winning. As I was saying the ball then suddenly came speeding towards me (the game had progressed a bit,) by a girl with blonde hair wearing pink. This is it I thought I can prove I can be good if they let me. I'll catch the ball, throw it back and then our team will score. Okay I'm not very good at Blitzball I was probably the worst in the class if not the whole year, but anyway I came out of the goal a few metres. People from my team where encouraging me to catch it with their arms waving in the air. I was swimming towards the ball ready to catch it, when out of nowhere someone (I think it was the tanned girl), rammed into me hard and stuck her middle finger up at me. She forced me to the edge of the Blitz arena. My head hit the glass with a thump there was a sharp pain in my head. I blacked out.

My name is Luthae Guado I'm 15 years old and I now attend Djose High if you haven't guessed. In most subjects you could call me swot of the year. I mean I sometimes read up on them in the Library. I want to do well at school but that doesn't mean I don't have time for fun. There's nothing much I can credit on my appearance. I want to be a songstress, spherehunter, an artist or maybe a maester if my brother doesn't get there first. I wanted to be a summoner but Sin is defeated so that's off my list.

My brother you might have guessed is Seymour Guado. Some people don't like him but he can be an okay person. He was an okay brother until...

"Hey newbie you okay?"

Luthae opened her eyes to look at the person addressing her but quickly closed them due to the bright burst of sunlight. When she opened them again shielding them she saw she was in the medical room of Djose High with her team from the Blitzball game standing round her. Soon she was spoken to by a girl with blonde hair in a yellow bikini top and a brown skirt.

"What the hell did you think you were doing?! You gave Leblanc's team a free goal."

"Hey Rikku don't say it like that the girl only came last night this is her first day here and she might not have played before." A girl in black came back with.

"Oh shit! The game we've probably lost thanks to me." Luthae said forlornly

"Nah don't sweat it we won 3-2. Go us!" the girl in black cheered, "You should have seen the look on Leblanc's and Dona's faces when we won."

"Who?" Luthae asked

"Dona's the girl who rammed into you." Someone told her, "And Leblanc you'll know her sooner or later. Wears pink and a down right snob."

"Who cares about Dona and Leblanc?" added Rikku "We only just won and I want to win by a good amount."

"Hey stop complaining Riks. The girl's not that good so what's the problem? Other girls in our year aren't that good either and we still won."

"S'pose so, but you Yunie and me are on the Blitz team and we've got the LSC's coming up soon and I personally don't want people like her messing up in the middle of a game."

"It's okay," Luthae, replied, "I don't think I'll be joining a Blitz team anytime soon."

"You will hon." The girl in black reassured "With practice. And stop getting into a stress Riks you always get into stress."

"Ed fyed pre shredu I dren!" Rikku said "Luat's oui!" (AN: I'm not that good at Al Bhed I only know oui and fyed is that how it's spelt? I've made the rest up).

"Whatever."

"Right ladies can we clear off now please it's getting a bit crowded in here." The nurse said coming out of her office "I hope that wasn't bad language from you young lady." She addressed Rikku the looked at everyone else "Come on out! I won't tell you again." Everyone including Rikku tramped out. She then turned to Luthae "You okay dear?"

"Yeah I'm fine, ow!" Luthae winced as she fingered what had become a bump on the right side of her forehead. The nurse went into the medicine room and came back with an ice pack.

"Put that on it," she instructed, "It'll go down after a couple of days. You can go now."

She then went back into her office. Luthae then got off the bed she'd been lying on and saw the girl in black was lounging on the bed opposite her. There were only two beds in the medical room and now both of them were occupied. The girl in black looked at Luthae. She had short brown hair and red eyes. Her lips which were normally in a serious sometimes can't be bothered expression were now turned up into a smile that would look serious on anyone else but to Luthae it had kindness written all over it. Luthae then picked up her school bag before turning to the girl, who got off the bed.

"Paine." She said extending her hand out to Luthae who immediately shook it.

"Luthae," she replied, "Luthae Guado. Don't think I'm being rude by asking but who was the other girl?"

"What the one who hated your guts for what you did in BB?"

"Yeah don't remind me of that it was humiliating."

"Well it's kind of hard not to. No one in any of the schools I've been to have done that."

"Your new too?"

"Only a since half a year ago when I met Yuna I've been going to this school, before I was all over the place. Bikanel, Killika even Luca once you name it. Anyway the girl's called Rikku she's not normally that mean she's just competitive. It's an Al Bhed thing."

"Cool she's Al Bhed!"

"Yeah why?"

"Never really met an Al Bhed before. My brother doesn't exactly like them."

"An Al Bhed hater right?"

"Don't think so but he wants to be a maester of Yevon and Al Bhed don't really like Yevon so you can guess the rest. I wanna be one too actually."

"What a maester how come?"

"I want to help Spira by giving back to it what it gave to me as a child and there's no girl maesters at the moment. Just Mika, Kinoc and Maester Kelk Ronso."

"Huh? Oh well the first bit doesn't make any sense to me, but I guess you want to do good for Spira. But being no girl maesters. You go girl. Show them we can be just good as the guys!"

"We'd better get out of here or the nurse might put us in detention. She seemed a bit pissed off when all the rest were in here."

"Yeah she's just a mardy kind of person. Coming?" Paine said going towards the door. Luthae immediately followed. Outside they found two people talking obviously waiting for Paine. The girl who was there had brown hair down to her shoulders with a long plait almost to her feet. The guy had blonde hair and blue eyes.

"Hey Paine." He said, "Was wondering when you were going to come out. You were in there for ages. Who this?"

"This is Luthae." Paine said looking at the guy almost in disgust but also in admiration.

"How do you spell that?" He asked jokingly, "Newbie right, right on. I'm Tidus."

"Hi." Luthae said shyly looking at his hand, which was up in the air. Paine looking at Luthae obviously knowing that Luthae didn't have a clue what Tidus was doing, went up and gave Tidus a high five.

"Oh." Luthae realised, "Thing from Zanarkand right?"

"How'd you know?" Tidus asked

"Well my brother told me about this guy he'd seen at Luca while he went to watch the Blitz tournament and everyone was saying he came from Zanarkand. The description he gave matches so I assume it's you."

"Hey are we going to go now?" The girl asked Tidus

"Oh Yuna almost forgot you were there." Tidus said almost jumping "Luthae, this is-"

"Yuna I know or should I say Lady Yuna?"

"No Yuna's fine," Yuna told her, "I'm getting kind of sick being called Lady Yuna anyway."

"We're going to go up to the dormitories to drop our bags off and to see Riks. Coming?" asked Paine.

"Nah I might go with Gippal, Baralai and Brother and go sneak out and add some fiends to the kill board. I'm winning" Tidus boasted

"Whatever you say Tidus." Paine sarcastically "Yuna?"

"Yeah why not. We can have a girly time while the boys catch up right?" and with that they both went their separate ways. Tidus to outside the school. The girls to the dorms (Blitz had been the last lesson of the day).

As the girls went down the corridor a boy of about 17 with long sky blue hair and blue eyes walked in the opposite direction with books clasped in his hands. He nodded at Luthae who returned his gesture. Yuna was slightly in front on them didn't see this.

"You know him?" Paine muttered

"Yeah, sometimes I wish I didn't." Luthae replied, "So," she added in a louder voice, "What are the LSC's?"

"What you don't know?!" Yuna sounded kind of shocked at this question, "I would've thought it was obvious it the Luca Schools Championships, high schools from all over Spira come to compete in different events. Blitzball, Sphere Break, fiend fighting and stuff I'm not sure what else there is but me Paine and Rikku are in the blitz team so if you come and see us you'd better be cheering for the Thunders."

"Thunders?"

"Yeah that our team." Explained Yuna, "The-,"

"Djose Thunders!" Paine and Yuna both cheered Yuna maybe a bit more enthusiastically.

"Cool I might go in," Luthae said interested, "I might not be able to throw a blitzball but I can sure kick some fiend butt."

"You could get the details in the next Fiend Fighting lesson." Yuna informed. After that they were silent as they carried on walking. Again Yuna was in front of the other two as she walked a quicker pace.

"So," Luthae muttered after a while, "They going out?"

"Who?" replied Paine

"Tidus and Yuna are they going out?"

"Nah not at the moment."

"You sound pleased. You like him?"

"Please as if, he may look quite good and maybe a pro-blitzer, but that's about all he is to me. He's too loud and childish for my liking. Why?"

"I was just wondering. They sound pretty pally, and I thought he was quite nice actually. Too loud and childish."

"Hey I'm not saying he's a bad person or friend, he's just not my type."

"Oh." Luthae finished

"Hey come on you guys hurry up!" Yuna called down the corridor.

The two girls ran towards the lift where Yuna was and got in.

"What room are you?" Yuna asked Luthae

"726."

"Cool me Paine and Rikku are in 895 so we're not that far away." Yuna said, "726 so that's the 8th floor. We can walk upstairs for our room." Yuna then pushed the button for the 8th floor. The lift made a creaking noise and then started to go up rather slowly at first but then speeded up. The lift was a rather rusty old piece of machina you stood on the platform pushed the designated floors and the platform went up through a channel of empty wall. It was probably used about a thousand years ago, it wasn't the fastest lift in the world but it got you where you wanted and it saved using the stairs.

"Going up." Yuna joked in a way Tidus normally did with her in the lift. Paine rolled her eyes. She'd probably heard that joke (if you could call it a joke), about a thousand times, but it always made Yuna laugh. As the lift ascended Luthae felt a warm sense of happiness and welcome inside her. She'd made a new start and now she'd made some new friends.

What did you think? I hope it wasn't to long or boring, please tell me if it was then I'll make the second chapter shorter. I've not fixed part of the plot fully yet but well that won't really take effect for sometime but if I do change the plot in the middle of a chapter without realising it please tell me then I'll make it clear what happened in the next chapter. Anyways hope you enjoyed it PLEASE review I would be grateful. Also if you do not send reviews I will not put the next chapter up. HA HA HA (I'm evil aren't I?)
