The Adventures of Riku and Sora
A Blue Dragon Fic
V
Wakka is talking to the Destiny Island Aurochs in his 'office' which is really just the janitor's closet sitting behind a bucket on top of a smaller bucket. He is currently at Destiny Island's Private School.
"You guys, you were good players and all-"
"Wakka?" A member of the Aurochs (which was the blitzball team) raised his hand.
"What, Keepa?"
"Do we have to have meetings in the janitor's closet?" He swatted a fly.
"It's kind of nasty in here, no?"
"NO!" yelled Wakka.
"You agree?" Keepa asked hopefully.
"No, no as in NO! No complaining about the location!" He pushed a button and Keepa was electrically shocked.
"Yow!"
"Anyway, you were good players . . . but I feel I'm gonna have to fire ya."
"FIRE US!?" The Aurochs yelled, jumping up.
"Yeah, you actually suck!"
Botta stomped his foot.
"But Cap'n Wakka! We're the only guys in high school that can hold our breaths for longer than two minutes!"
"SO!?"
"The blitzball games last ten minutes!!" He yelled back.
"SO!?"
"The games are under water!"
"SO-I mean, what? Then where am I gonna find more players . . . oh never mind. You're all fired!"
The five former members of the Aurochs muttered curses to Wakka under their breaths as they left. Wakka left soon after, and stood in the empty hallway just as the bell for first period rang.
"I'll find more players somehow . . . "
The coach suddenly turned the corner and spotted Wakka.
"Hey Wakka! You have a game right after school today!" he said.
Wakka blinked.
"Hey, your Tidus' dad! Wassup, Coach Jecht, you just get a job here?"
"Yep. They fired me at my old one for hitting a kid."
"Did he get on your nerves?"
Jecht laughed.
"You mean SHE! Gwahahahhaha!" Jecht walked off laughing crazily making Wakka uneasy. His memory of his abusiveness faded when he remembered that he had a game after school. Where was he going to find more players while school was in session? Children who talked without permission during school were beat over the head with sausages. (Rule of the principal)
"There's only one thing to do! Play hooky!" Wakka declared, but then stuffed a hand over his mouth when he realized he was just outside of the teacher's lounge.
Wakka quickly turned the corner and bumped right into Lisa.
"Ah! Watch where your goin', ya?" he said, getting up from the ground and rubbing his head.
"You bumped into me" she muttered as she got back up.
" . . . Wait a minute, what are you doing out of class, Lisa!?"
"Delivering a message to the principal. And you?"
"Uh, loitering?"
"Where's your pass?"
Wakka pulled out a picture of himself with a thumbs-up sign."
"Wakka, that's just a picture of you."
"Uhhh . . . no it's not?"
" . . . ?"
Wakka fell on his face and grabbed her ankle, and began crying.
"I have to put my blitz team together before the end of school and play hooky! Please don't tell anyone! I beg of you!"
"Okay."
"I'll be your slave."
"Uh . . . Okay, Wakka, I won't tell anyone."
"I'll do your chores! I'll wash your shoes!"
"Wakka! I won't tell anyone!"
"I'll do anything!"
" . . . "
She shook Wakka off.
"Wakka, I said I wouldn't tell!"
"Oh . . . okay!" He ran past Lisa and to the exit.
When he stopped, he was panting heavily.
"Man, I need to stop doing that . . . wait! I'll need an accomplice!"
Suddenly an mini devil Wakka popped up on Wakka's right shoulder, and another devil Wakka popped up on his left one.
"Where's the angel, ya?"
"Get Selphie as your accomplice!" Devil number one yelled.
"I concur!" Devil number two yelled. They both disappeared.
"Oh well, I guess I need Selphie." Wakka opened the door and she came barreling in.
" . . . that was fast, ya?"
"Hi Wakka! Can't talk, I'm late!" Selphie said, but before she could run off Wakka grabbed her wrist.
"We got places to go." He said.
"Places?" she echoed.
"Trust me." He pulled her out.
Selphie looked around at the large open space.
"Wow." She said.
"What do you mean?"
"Being outside during school hours is even better the fifth time."
Wakka looked at her susupiciously.
"What do you mean the fifth time?"
"Uhh, nothing. Are we playing hooky??"
"Not just any kind of hooky, Selphie! We gotta find blitzball players!"
Selphie twirled her brown curls.
"How come?"
" . . . cause there's no more on my team."
" . . . why?"
"I fired 'em all!"
"What!? Why?"
"I'll tell you later. Let's get away from the school and go find blitzball players!"

Sora sat at the desk next to the window in math class, not really paying any attention. He looked outside at the bush, which had suspicious red hair sticking out of it.
Suddenly, Wakka burst out of the bush and Sora let out a startled scream, and everyone in the class stared at him.
"Sora, have you something to say to the class?" The teacher asked in an annoyed voice.
"No ma'am." Sora muttered. "Stupid wretch" he whispered under his breath.
"Now class!" the teacher started.
"It is a well known fact that two six plus two is sixty-two . . . " the teacher began.
"But Ms. Oppenheimer, it's eight!" a kid yelled.
"Quiet back their! I am a fully qualified math teacher with a first-rate education!"
"She must mean first-GRADE education!" Tidus whispered to the girl next to him.
The class giggled except for Sora, who sighed at how stupid the joke was, and how stupid his classmates were for laughing at it, probably because they were educated by a stupid teacher.
"Hey, Sora" Wakka whispered from the bushes.
"Why aren't you in school?"
"Will you join my blitzball team?"
"What! No!"
The class looked at him again.
The teacher walked over to Sora and Wakka hid in the bushes.
"Who are you talking too, Mr. Barzhad?"
"Uh, God?" he tried.
"Hm. Well do it some other time!" she yelled, walking back to the calkboard.
Sora growled and looked back out the window.
"No way I'll join!"
"The blitz stadium has the only husky pork in town tonight until the new shipment comes in . . . "
"So?"
Wakka sighed.
"You're dad will be there to get some! Duh!"
" . . . "
"Just get Kairi, Tidus, and Riku to join, I'll get Lisa or Selphie to join, and then we can play blitz tonight!"
"Whatever." Whispered Sora. "Don't you get beaten with sticks if you're caught playing hooky?"
"How'd you know?" Wakka asked.
Around the bushes, officials from Wakka's school were tapping their feet and holding long sticks.
"Ahhh!" Wakka tried to run but it was too late. He was stopped by the guards and hauled off. Sora watched him bet dragged behind a tree, and heard the sounds of sticks making impact and Wakka screaming.
***
That night Sora went to Riku's to watch Scooby-Doo, which was getting increasingly ridiculous.
The gang began pulling off masks from the "monster"
"Tetsuya Takahashi!" they yelled.
They pulled off another mask.
"Joseph Stalin!" they yelled.
They pulled off another mask.
"George Clooney!" they yelled.
They pulled off another mask.
"Nobuo Uematsu!" they yelled.
They pulled off another mask.
Riku changed the channel in irritation and switched to the Barney.
While the fake dinosaur danced around with the kids, the sound of machine gun bullets could be heard, and a kid got hit in the leg and ran. A few stray bullets hit Barney in the stomach and he fell, two more hitting him in the head. His screams echoed out on television as he was pelted with bullets. Then, you can hear a voice on T. V. off screen.
"Hey Bill, you know that new Matrix movie we were doing?"
"Yeah, Tom?"
"I think we're in the wrong spot, this isn't our practicing arena, this is the set of 'Barney'"
" . . . I won't tell if you won't"
Riku changed the channel.
"Snow white!" they Scooby-Doo gang yelled, still pulling off masks.
They pulled another off.
"John Wilkes Booth!"
They pulled off his face, revealing a skeleton.
Riku turned the T. V. off.
"There's nothin'-freakin'-on!" he yelled in agitation.
"All the shows are freakin' corrupted!" he yelled again.
"What about those teletubbies?"
"A guy with a flamethrower burnt them all to a crisp."
"Blue's Clues?" asked Sora.
"Some idiot shot a bomb in the middle of the show."
"Seventh Heaven?"
"The OLSEN twins guest-starred!"
"So?"
"Sora! The OLSEN twins guest-starred! Why don't they just blow up the set instead!?"
"Still don't like 'em?" Sora laughed.
"Forget it." He looked at the time.
"Wakka's blitzball game is in ten minuets. Let's get Tidus and go."
Sora sighed.
"Whatever. Maybe I'll find dad."
