Summer Internship
"So Miss Katanowa. What influenced you into considering an internship here?" a stern middle-aged woman dressed from head-to-toe in tweed.
"Well, I've always been interested in the matter at hand." A young girl around the age of eighteen replied.
"Thank You for coming today, Yuna. You should hear a reply to your interview within 3 to 4 days." Tweed woman said.
"Thank You" Yuna said as she shook tweed woman's hand and left the room.
"Well? How did it go? Mine went fabtastic!" a blond bubbly girl jumped up and down.
"It's in the bag Rikku, in the Bag!" Yuna cheered.
"Woo-Hoo! Luca Hotel Internship program here we come!" Rikku chimed.
Three days later
"Maybe it fell out of the Bag…" Rikku glumly complained as she flopped down on the cold floor.
"But…it went so well…" Yuna slouched back in her armchair.
"Yuna! What did I tell you about slouching?" a concerned young woman said as she entered the living room.
"Um…not to?" Yuna guessed. She'd had this lecture so many times she'd actually forgotten what it was about!
"It is very bad for your back." The young woman said. "Any reply from Tweed woman?"
"Don't even ask Lu!" Rikku muttered in a non-Rikku way.
RRRRIIIIIINNNNGGGGGG!
"I'LL GET IT!" Yuna darted for the door but as Rikku was closer she got there first.
A postie stumbled back at the force in which Rikku had opened the door. (Nearly took it off it's hinges!)
"HOW CAN I HELP?" she screeched.
"Umm…erm…Lady Yuna?" he asked petrified.
"That's her." Rikku pointed at Yuna with a dim voice.
Yuna walked to the door and said in a calm voice. "Yes?"
"This is a special delivery for Lady Yuna." He handed over a white envelope and as Rikku began to make her way to the door, the petrified postie darted off down the street muttering something that sounded a bit like, 'I don't get paid enough for this'
"What is it?" Lulu asked with the same concerned look on her face.
Pause
"Ohmygod…" Yuna mumbled.
"What's up Yunie?" Rikku questioned.
"I got a 94." Yuna replied
"What on Spira are you muttering about?" Lulu asked
"This is the reply to my internship application. I got a 94! How DARE THEY! They say that I was too pampered and prepared."
"HEY! What did I get?" Rikku cried
"Um…let's see…oh, here it is…you got an 83 cause you were too go-with-the-flowish."
"Wait! Does that mean- Are we-" Rikku asked with a monkey grin
"WE ARE GOING TO LUCA HOTEL FOR THE SUMMER! The number one sight for all the celebs in Spira. Rikku! We are going to the only hotel in the whole of Spira to get 10/10 on the vacation polls!"
"OHMYGOSH!" Rikku screamed as she did a funny chicken dance followed by a crazy air guitar impression.
Basically, they were both over-happy hyper!
Chapter 2
In Luca hotel
"Look at this, ya! They have 5 course meals here!" a red-headed man looked at an elaborately decorated menu
"Appetiser, starter, main, cheese, pudding. Hmm…a whole course dedicated to cheese?" a blond headed teenage boy asked.
"Dude! That's like the best idea I've EVER heard of!" a brown-haired guy said
A scrawny waitress was leaning on the desk smoking a fag.
"Excuse me, Miss?" the blond asked her
"What?" she said without looking at his face.
"Well, can you read?" he asked
"What the fuck?" This time she turned to face him.
The young blond pointed at a large sign.
"no-smoke-ing-air-e-a" he spoke cringingly slow.
"Like I give a fuck!" she said snobbishly and left the building.
The blond smirked to himself and returned to his friend who was chuckling to himself.
"Tidus, my man! You ain't been here 5 minutes and you already causing a scene, ya?" The brunette said
"Chill, Squall! Whoa…" Tidus was about to lecture Squall on how to be a cocky shit when two young women entered the hotel.
Who else, but Yuna and Rikku!
"Hot Chicks at 3 o'clock!" Tidus whispered to his redheaded friend Wakka.
"Oh please! Ten gil says you can't get her name!" Wakka chuckled
"Ha! Get your wallet out, old man!"
Tidus made his way over to them.
Wow! I'll take the brunette. Tidus thought to himself
One of the girls was a tall slender brunette and the other was a blond fidget. The brunette was wearing a pair of faded jeans teamed with a dark red hoodie. The blond was wearing an exceptionally short mini-skirt with a woolly white turtleneck and long black scarf.
"Um…hi…I'm Tidus." He said sticking his hand out to the brunette.
"Hi, I'm Yuna. This is my cousin Rikku." She shook his hand and thought to herself Man, this guy is a mega-hottie! "Excuse me. I have to go check in."
"Who's that really hot guy?" Rikku chimed.
Wow, she was friendly.
Tidus turned around and saw one of his friends, Squall, talking to Wakka. Did she mean Wakka?
"Um…the red-head?" he asked
"No! His friend!" she chimed.
"Oh! He's Squall. He's a drummer, loves anything Rock n Roll!"
"Thanks for the tip!"
"Hey, I didn't agree to hook you up with Squall!"
"Okay, here's the deal. You give me the 411 on Squall and I'll give you the 411 on Yuna."
"Why would I wanna know about her?"
"Oh please! I saw you staring at her boobs, you pervie!"
"Deal!"
Tidus and Rikku confirmed with a handshake just as Yuna made her way back over.
"What room?" Rikku asked.
"I'm in 615." Yuna replied.
"615?" Tidus asked.
"Um…that's what I said!" she replied
"There must be some mistake coz, my rooms 615!"
The three made their way over to the reception. And argued with the manager for quite some time, but the decision was final. Yuna was sharing a room with a guy she'd never met before, and Rikku was sharing a room with a guy she found unbelievably hot. Yuna&Tidus Rikku&Squall.
"See ya later, Yunie!" Rikku chimed. "Hey, Squall! Aren't you gonna escort your new roomie?"
Squall decided to play along with Rikkus charade.
"Most certainly, M'Lady." He leant an elbow, which Rikku pounced upon.
Yuna and Tidus entered an empty elevator and waited for the doors to close.
"Going up, madam?" Tidus asked with the same Monkey grin Rikku had.
"Why thank you, kind Sir." Yuna curtsied.
"615 it is then." Tidus punched in a few numbers then scratched his head.
"What's up?" Yuna asked.
"It ain't working." He replied.
As if on cue the elevator rose up 13 floors and plummeted down 4. A searing gushy feeling entered the pits of their stomachs, and their skin felt like it was getting ripped off. The elevator rose to the 34th floor and stopped, causing Yuna to be thrown off her feet and land on top of a confused Tidus.
"Ohmygosh!" Yuna cried "I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die at 17! I'm too young to die! There's so much I ain't done yet! I can't drive! I haven't even had my first kiss yet! I've never had a boyfriend! I'M A VIRGIN! I'm 17 and I'm gonna die first kiss less, boyfriend less and a virgin! I-"
Tidus leaned in and kissed her gently.
"Does that help?" he asked
She leaned in and they kissed for a second time. This time it was more extreme. She reluctantly broke away.
"Wow." She said.
"Yuna?" Tidus asked
"Yes?"
"I think there's something on my hand."
"Um…that would be my hand."
"Oh. Okay then."
Then to make matters worse, the lights went out.
"Ah!" Yuna screamed like there was no tomorrow.
"It's okay!" he tried to yell over her screams.
Tidus gave a reassuring squeeze to her hand. She threw herself into his chest and sobbed.
"I don't wanna die." She sobbed
"You're not gonna." He said unusually brave. "I won't allow it." He started to fiddle with her hair.
"Yuna?" he whispered.
He looked down to see Yuna sleeping on him. Don't get ahead of yourself he thought to himself she's only like this cause she's afraid that she'll die. She's just pitying herself.
"Is anyone there?" a man called from the other side of the elevator doors.
"Yes! Help us!" Tidus yelled. He looked over at Yuna and shook her gently. "Yuna?" He began to shake her harder. "YUNA?" he yelled. He placed his hand on her forehead, which was boiling hot.
"Hold on, Sir!" the man called. "This is the Fire Brigade. We'll get you out. Is anyone else there?"
"Yes, it's my friend, but she's knocked out. And I think she's sick!"
"Is she breathing?"
"Urr…yes."
"Hold on sir, we're coming."
Later on in the Hospital
Yuna awoke with a major headache.
"Yuna?" a familiar voice called.
She got up steadily to see the goofy guy she had seen earlier that day. Where was she? Hospital. What happened? Oh, yeah. It was all flooding back. The elevator and the kissing and the darkness.
