Re: I have fans?
D: RUN!

D: (while running) Just read the chapter! We'll handle this stampede.
Character Highlights:
Rubylisa/Ruby/Risa/Bee-bee wears a yellow green tube top, which is bellow waist with two tiny dark pink ribbons on both sides of her chest (it looks like a top, with a v-neck collar no sleeves, up to the waist which makes it look like a short fit dress enough to cover your buttocks), a long dark green skirt (so long you cant see her foot wear) and a dark pink ribbon long enough to be a loose belt around your waist (well, it is…). Her hair is in a simple ponytail tied by a long dark pink ribbon. She has brownish black eyes and black hair. To shield her from both physical and magical attacks she has two dark pink bracelets that fit her wrists. When she wears it, it becomes Nature Glow: an ancient bracelet shield with the essence of earth in the image of leaves.
Rebecca /Rebecs /Becky wears a rare sky blue top with one shoulder bare (it has sleeves up to the elbow), light sky blue short shorts, a blue belt that sticks a small pouch and a piece of cloth to her to cover some skin (imagine songstress dress sphere in FFX-2) and white boots that reach up to the bottom of her knees. Her hair is tied to a ponytail and appears short but some strands are put into braids (imagine Rikku's hairdo with the braid thing). She has brown eyes and black hair. She never leaves home without her prized microphone in her pouch. To creatively protect herself she has a ring that she can put into any finger any hand. The Eagle Ring is the ancient ring shield with the essence of air in the image of a seagull.
You find a new friend to keep you company. Not to replace the old one.

Chapter 2—Awkward Meetings
Luca DocksLuca. The city of blitzball. Every now and then, tournaments are held in Luca Stadium. But this day is the most challenging day of blitzball history. Because today is the championship match! Every team from all the corners of Spira: Besaid, Kilika, Luca, Guadosalam, Bikanel, Mt. Gagazet will gather here today in the Luca Goers' home turf. S.S. Liki just arrived at dock one with the Besaid Aurochs and the Luca Goers. But some don't know there's a body floating in the water near the boat…
"Hey! There's a person overboard!"
Well at least there's a person with a good heart.
A person jumped off the ship and got to the body. He picked it up and went back to the boat. Little did they know that she was related to Tidus. Too bad he left the boat early…
"Hey, pal" the guy who rescued her said "Do you think she's still alive?"
His friend checked her pulse and her breathing "Yeah man. She's still alive but her pulse is weak. Her breathing is heavy, too. We must take her somewhere like a temple or a mage or something. She won't last if she stays like this"
"Man, are you a doctor or something? You're scaring me"
"No, but we must hurry"
And so they took her to the most well known mage in the city. She's friends with a celebrity so everyone must know.
The Mage's HouseWhen they arrived the mage treated her immediately.
"Is she gonna be alright, ma'am?" he asked sitting on the chair next to his friend in front of the mage and the stranger they just rescued on the bed.
Her breathing is finally normal. And so is her pulse.
"Yeah, she is. You can take her home now"
"Oh, we can't"
"Why not? She's your sister or, um, girlfriend, isn't she?"
"Oh, no ma'am. We just found her body in the water ma'am. We don't know her"
"So you've done a good deed. Then I shall give you this"
She gave them a few potions from her pocket.
"Thanks, but what about her, ma'am?"
"I'll take care of her and help her find someone she knows. Thanks for bringing her in"
"No problem" the two men said in unison.
They stood up leaving the rather LARGE house the mage and her celebrity friend owned.
The famous singer went out of the dressing room and saw her mage friend treating the stranger on the guest room bed. She always puts her patients there.
"So, Rubylisa… who's he this time"
"He's actually a she Rebecca."
(Now you know who's who )
"Whatever. What's her name?"
"I don't know"
"Do you know anybody who knows her?"
"No"
"Then who brought her in here? She can't walk down the streets unconscious"
"Some sailors… they found her in the water and brought her here. They don't know her, they just rescued her" Rubylisa said not wanting any more questions to be answered.
"Oh, poor girl"
Then there was some weird silence. But Ruby broke it first.
"I have an idea!"
She made Rebecca jump slightly.
"What kind of idea?"
"If we help her look for someone she knows, we can explore Spira!"
"For once I agree"
"Is that an insult?"
"Not really"
(sigh)
Rebecca saw the stranger moving her hands "Hey, she's waking up"
As the girl was about to open her eyes, the two were waiting patiently and excitedly. "Uhh…my head…Where am I? Who are you? Have you seen them?"
"Hey! Not so fast, man." Rebecca said "Okay… so you're in Luca with me, Rebecca" she pointed to herself "and she's Rubylisa"
"Yup! I healed you"
"Oh, and who's them?"
"My best friend and Auron"
"Don't refer to Sir Auron like that!" Rebecca said all of a sudden
"Sir Auron!" the stranger said sitting up from the bed.
"He's the Legendary Guardian of High Summoner Braska!"
"Stupid Sin… now my head really hurts" she fell again to the bed.
"YOU GOT CLOSE TO SIN!"
"Real close, I guess"
The mage realized now what happened to the girl "So that's why. Sin's toxin got to you and I think it's affecting you real bad"
"Anyway, you remember you name, right?"
"Of course I do. My name's Det-Det, nice meeting you" she said standing up "I have to go now"
"Go? Where?"
"I'm gonna go look for my best friend, Tidus" she replied walking towards the door
"We'll go with you" Rebecca and Rubylisa said, "After all, we want to explore. Plus, you must have forgotten stuff around here."
"You bet I do" Det-Det lied "I think I forgot everything"
And so the three girls went to the living room and talked about Spira the whole day (actually… 20 minutes).
"So… Rebecca's a singer and Rubylisa is a mage and I could've died if she didn't heal me and Zanarkand was destroyed 1000 years ago…"
"Yup!" the two said in unison
"Can we go now?"
"Yup! And don't tell anyone you're from Zanarkand. Yevon says it's a holy place," Rubylisa stated (where have we heard that…)
And with that, the three went to Luca Stadium to watch the championship. They were a little late but they were lucky Rebecca had a V.I.P. pass or I think it's a reservation.
The last match is: Luca Goers vs. Besaid Aurochs. Det noticed something about the Besaid Aurochs… a person not wearing the same uniform. More surprised than she was, she saw him do the Jecht Shot (was it the Sublime Jecht Shot Mark III? I know it's longer. please tell me in your review).
'Tidus! I thought he was eaten by something. Well, it's better he survived' (well, he really was almost eaten by something, right?) Det-Det smiled at the thought.
"Why are you smiling?" Rebecca asked in curiosity
"The guy with the different uniform in the Besaid Aurochs… that's Tidus!"
After Tidus did the shot, Det-Det whistled. Like she does in Zanarkand. Nobody else in Luca knew whistling (I think). And that made Tidus wonder where that whistle came from…
Crystal SquareAfter the match in Luca…
"Ok, single file! No pushing!" Rubylisa shouted as Rebecca's fans are crowding them. Det-Det saw a glimpse of Tidus somewhere and followed him.
She was hiding as she heard Tidus and Auron discussing Jecht being Sin. She was shocked as this led the two men into an argument. After, Tidus seemed to agree with Auron and followed him.
"So, about the: Operation: Find Tidus…"
Rebecca made Det jump slightly but she seems ok. "Did you see everything?"
"What 'everything'?"
"Never mind. I found him. Follow me"
Stairway to Mi'ihen ;)"I want to be your guardian Lady Yuna"
"Sir Auron?"
"Do you refuse?"
"Oh, no Sir."
"Then he's coming, too" Auron said slightly pushing Tidus forward. Tidus just scratched his head and smiled. It's his mannerism (a habit) when he doesn't know what to say or do. But he seems depressed even when they won the game.
"TIDUS!" an awkward shout came from behind. Before Tidus could turn around Det-Det jumped on his back covering his eyes. "Guess who!" Det-Det shouted. Tidus is still trying to remove her hands from his eyes as Det's new friends are not far behind. "Rebecca!" Wakka shouted in disbelief. "Rubylisa!" Lulu shouted in surprise.
"Can you guys stop the name thing? I can't figure out who this is!" Tidus protested. And with that, everybody looked at Tidus and laughed. (No Auron and Kimahri)
Det got off Tidus' back but she's still covering his eyes "Ok, let's change" Det whispered as she signaled Rebecca to switch in with her position. Rebecca is now covering Tidus' eyes "Ha ha ha! Guess who!"
"Rubylisa?"
Wakka switched in "Guess who, ya!"
"Ha! You're Wakka!"
Rubylisa switched in "No I'm not!"
"Rebecca?"
Yuna switched in "Guess who!"
"Yuna! Give up!"
Det switched in again "I won't!"
"I surrender!"
"On one condition…"
"Anything!"
"Don't hug me too tight"
"That's so easy! I can do tha" but Tidus stopped when he saw his best friend. "Det-Det!" he followed up with a hug. "I was so worried! I thought you're gone!"
"Well, I thought you're eaten"
Everybody laughed again. (No Auron and Kimahri)
"So, what about some introductions, ya?"(pretty obvious who said that)
"Sorry. I'm Det-Det by the way, nice to meet you all" she said trying to escape from Tidus' hug "Can you let go already?"
"Heheheh… sorry…" Tidus scratched his head in embarrassment.
"And my new friends are…"
"Rubylisa, the mage..." Lulu continued.
"And Rebecca, the singer! I'm a fan, ya!" Wakka continued with a hint of excitement in his voice. He's blushing since he switched with her first in covering Tidus' eyes. (as if he's near his crush or something)
"Hi!" the two girls said.
"Wakka? Why are you blushing?" Yuna asked in curiosity.
"Uhh…" Wakka was acting as if he wants to go to the bathroom
"Come on! Tell us!" Rebecca said.
"Fine! I'll admit, ya! But, promise not to laugh"
"Oh I think I know why…" Det-Det said ready to laugh.
"I have a crush on Rebecca…" Wakka lowered his head in embarrassment.
Everybody laughed once more. Thing is, Auron laughed, too. (well, yeah… a bit)
