BUAHAHAHAHA! One day whilst my brother was away, I kidnapped his copy of FFX…and I beat it. Yup, I've been playing it all this time, my eyes shining with joy whenever Auron popped up on the screen…Auron is my hero…
Replies to Reviewers!
Solecito- Yes Seymour is very narrow-minded. Him and his blue-haired ways…I'm willing to bet good money he's behind your game stopping when Auron was about to pop up and kick some major arse. Bad bad Seymour!
Hacker5- Heh, I'm sorry if I got you in trouble. Hmm your school must not have a block up on certain websites…because mine does…I can't get to at my school…it's really annoying
Luv2Game- Don't worry, I will see this story through to the end. Final Fantasy games are fun and enjoyable. I'm writing a Jade Empire parody if you've ever played that game…((evil grin))
Grey Fish- Yay! Ishboo has found someone who also enjoys talking in the third person! Ishboo loves to talk in the third person, it scares her mother something fierce. Ishboo would help you out of the bowl, but I doubt that you would live long if Ishboo did that. So as a consolation, here's a little dragon statue thingy that Ishboo gives to you! ((plops a dragon statue into Grey Fish's bowl)) Hooray!
Kiete- Even I'm not too sure how I come up with these things. I think it's a combination of me forgetting to take my medication (shhh), lack of sleep, and sugar high driven happenings. You may use the cracker obsession in your story, as long as there is a little note aside telling them that I originally came up with it. I've had someone take my ideas before without permission, and while I was freaking out for a while, we resolved it quite peaceably.
MakoAnima- You know if you changed the last 'a' in 'Anima' to an 'e' it would spell 'Anime'? Just a random thought…I might end up stealing your chinchilla…they are so cute and cuddly! Thank you for reminding me what happened next, I remembered the Wakka part, I just didn't remember what the name of the place was…then I played the game again and I was like, "Oooooooh…okay!" So, arigato!
A Fading Shadow- Unimportant? All right, who are you and where have you hidden the REAL Shadow? Grrr. Anyway, tell your friend that she should also include polka-dotted psychic kiwis to her army of awesomeness. Kiwi birds will rule the world one day regardless. Heh and I'm thinking of rewriting "KOTOR Gone Insane" to fit the story format…what do you think?
R.M.N.-AHHHH! PUPPY DOG EYES! NOOOO ((whips out a Master Tonberry and chucks it at RMN)) DIEEEEEEE! ….sorry…I have dogs who stare at me all the time so I've gotten a little…psycho when that happens now…I hope you don't have too much trouble with the Tonberry…
Bbychrangel- I am honored that you have bestowed such a compliment upon me and my story ((bows)). I agree though, there are certain times when character bashing goes too far…like if someone began to make fun of Auron too much… ((twitches)) Anyhoo, I'm glad that you enjoy this story, and hope that you will continue to enjoy it.

Tidus cautiously opened his eyes, hoping he wouldn't see anything unpleasant before him. 'I'm…alive?' he thought, his eyes growing in wonderment. He was about to stand up and leap for joy when he was thwacked on the back of the head by a blunt, round object. He let out a cry and inhaled a bunch of water as he did so (he was in the water for some odd reason…and on his face…how he survived is beyond me).
Tidus sprung up, clutching his throat desperately, "AHHHH! SOMEONE HELP ME! I'M CHOKING TO DEATH!" he screeched, thrashing around. Darkness blurred the edge of his vision and he felt himself being hit on his back…really hard. It removed the water from his lungs however, and Tidus found himself staring into the face of a red-haired, tan individual. Tidus screamed and leapt as far away as he could from this new person, bumping into even more peopleas he did so. He fell over, taking more than a few of these people down with him, and stared up at the sky.
He was pulled to his feet abruptly and he blinked in confusion. "Where the hell did that random object that hit my head come from anyway?" he asked cautiously, looking around at everyone. Tidus took a step backwards when he saw the red-haired man from earlier staring at him, a maniacal glint in his eyes. The confused young man was about to say something when the red-haired man launched himself at Tidus, squishing the younger man with a huge bear hug.
"CHAPPU! I KNEW YOU WERE ALIVE! IN YOUR FACE LULU!" the man screeched. Tidus screamed in terror and managed to dislodge the other man and then promptly hid behind the other assembled men. "STAY BACK!" Tidus squealed as the man began to advance. He heard the person he was hiding behind sigh and then say,
"For the love of Yevon Wakka, this isn't Chappu." The man named Wakka paused, blinked, and then crossed his arms in front of his chest. He stared at Tidus, and returned his attention to the man who had given him this piece of information.
"He's…not Chappu? Are you sure, Letty?" Wakka asked cautiously, just to make sure he heard it right. Letty nodded in reply and Wakka began to chuckle nervously. "Uhhh…sorry about that…I hope I didn't scare you…" he said, trying to patch things up between himself and this newcomer. Tidus blinked and slowly got out from behind Letty. He gave Wakka an untrusting glance, and asked, "So…your name is Wakka then?"
Wakka nodded in response, and blinked as the other man broke into a grin. "Heeey! That sounds kinda like what PacMan says as he moves around eating the little chip thingys and ghosts! Like this! Wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka wakka…" he then ran around the beach, his arms held in front of him like a mouth as he opened and closed them, repeating "wakka" over and over.
Wakka twitched, grabbed Tidus by his hair as he passed, and glared at the younger man. "May I have your name?" he asked sweetly, his eyes glittering dangerously. Tidus squeaked and managed to mumble out his name. He was released and immediately Tidus began rubbing his head.
"Errr…sorry it's just that…OOOOOH BLITZBALL!" Tidus said, trotting merrily over towards the blitzball that lay upon the beach. Everyone watched curiously as the blonde-haired teenager kicked the ball straight up into the air and leapt up after it. After performing a couple of flips in the air (mostly to show off…), Tidus kicked the blitzball, sending it flying across the beach.
Wakka's jaw dropped as he saw the blitzball fly off into the distance. Putting aside the thought that he would probably never see that particular blitzball again, he strode over to Tidus. "What team do you play for?" he asked curiously. Tidus blinked, did a pose and stated proudly,
"The Zanarkand Abes!" Wakka snorted in surprise and stared at Tidus, beginning to worry about the sanity of this person. "Ummm…Zanarkand was destroyed a thousand years ago…" he said cautiously, watching in a mixture of amusement and horror as Tidus' face went completely pale. The younger man convulsed slightly, then fell over on the ground unconscious. Wakka sighed and shook his head, figuring that since there were no boats at the port, and that Tidus had just randomly appeared, that Sin had something to do with it.
"Let's take him back to the village. We can't just leave him out here for the fiends to get him." Wakka said, turning to face his teammates. They all nodded in agreement and Tidus was borne off towards Besaid Village.

"I'm terribly sorry sir, but unless you put a muzzle on that…thing, I'm afraid I cannot allow you to continue to sail with us." The captain of the S.S. Winno said, hoping that the man he was talking to wouldn't decapitate him. Said man twitched slightly and patted the little furry rodent which was currently hissing and spitting. He narrowed his eyes and glared at the sailor, how DARE he demand such a thing of Auron the Great! (A/N: Heh I couldn't exclude Auron in this chapter, even though he isn't supposed to show up until Luca…I just enjoy writing for him)
"Hey, is it my fault that your idiotic pet monkey annoyed Squeakums?" Auron asked, raising an eyebrow. The captain scowled and jabbed a finger at the swordsman. "Your chinchilla ate my monkey just because my monkey sat next to it!" he accused. Auron blinked, nodded slightly and said,
"Exactly." The captain slapped himself in the face and attempted to calm himself down. Auron just watched, waiting for the captain to continue in his threats. 'Next time, I'm going by shoopuf.' He thought to himself sulkily. THEY wouldn't mind having a homicidal chinchilla onboard…
Auron brought himself out of his musings as he realized the captain had been talking for quite some time now. He blinked and asked, "Huh? What did you say?" The swordsman stared at the captain, wondering if the man would be okay as his face was turning purple with either rage, or lack of air. It turned out to be a combination of the two, and the captain promptly fainted on the floor. Auron shrugged, turned around, and walked out of the captains' office. They would no doubt finish this conversation later…it was cracker time anyway.

…w00t. I win. Completely and totally. Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise. Anyway, I'll try to get the next chapter out as soon as possible. Ja ne!
