A/N: I know, I know. I took a couple of liberties last chappie. Mostly the one where I changed the name of the other Blitzball team from the Duggles to the Titans. But Duggles was such a stupid name. Not that Abes is a whole lot better, but that one is too integral to the story, so I can't change it. But, since I don't own FFX or its characters, I can do things like change team names and not get in trouble. But I think I'm starting to Rant here, so I'll just move along.
Sorry this chapter took so long to get out. My muse went off to Tahiti or Jamacia or someplace equally sunny and touristy and just got back. Darn her for not taking me too. Also, sorry its so short, but its another of those transition chapters. But, please R&R so that I know what y'all think of it!
BTW: for those of you who like FF7 fanfic as well, I'm going to put in a shameless plug for my current favorite author ezri-candy and her fic Always Smiling. Actually, all her stuff is good, so go read it!

I blacked out after Sin grabbed us. Well, maybe whited out is a better way to put it, because I wasn't really unconscious. Just unawar of my body or my surroundings. My mind was racing, though.
I wondered where Auron was. Or where I was for that matter. Was I dead?
"Hey." That was a familiar voice. "Hey!"
"My old man?" As I said that, the world around me came into focus. I felt like I was surrounded by water. Below me, I could see Zanarkand burning. It was a little unnerving. So was the flaming Abes logo in the sky.
As I looked around, I noticed a platform behind me. There was a man standing on it, so I started to swim toward it. As I got closer, I could see that it was my old man. I almost wanted to stop when I realized that, but I kept going. Anyplace--or anyone--was better than being alone in the "air" above a burning city.
When I reached the platform, my old man turned into a little boy. I stared at him for a second before I realized that the boy was me. The same age I was when Jecht disappeared.
Then, I fell asleep, wondering what was happening to me.
