It's Blitz Time

Kerri and Tidus walked up to the house to find Gippal sitting on the front porch.

"It took you long enough to get here," Gippal said as he stood up.

"Well this visit was a little unexpected," Tidus replied as he was looking for his house key.

"Yea, well I thought I'd drop off the jerseys you'll be wearing tonight." Gippal handed Tidus and Kerri the jerseys.

Kerri unfolded hers and looked it over. "Al Bhed Psyches."

"Yea, that's my team! I hope that fits you, Ker. I bought you one size bigger than Rikku's only because it's supposed to be sorta baggy," Gippal explained.

Kerri smiled and said, "Gippal, you didn't have to buy me one. This is really sweet."

Gippal put his hand behind her head, "Hey don't worry bout it. It was nothing, really."

"It's still really sweet, thank you."

By now Tidus had opened the front door. "Alright, come on guys the door is open."

Tidus, Kerri, and Gippal entered the house. Kerri ran upstairs to her 'room.' And the guys went into the living room. When Kerri came back downstairs, Gippal was on the love seat and Tidus was on the recliner, so Kerri just plopped herself down on the big couch. Before anyone could say anything, Tidus' phone rang. He looked at the called ID Yuna. He got up, headed for the kitchen, and said, "I'll be right back."

After Tidus left Gippal turned to Kerri said, "Do I smell?"

Kerri looked at him bewildered, "What?"

"You can sit next to me, ya know."

Kerri shrugged and said, "What's the difference?"

"Well if you really don't like me, I guess I understand," Gippal said as he started to 'cry.'

Kerri rolled her eyes and said, "Alright, I'll sit next to you."

Gippal sat up and said, "good. Now come on, I don't bite… hard."

Kerri shook her head as she move next to Gippal.

Meanwhile in the kitchen Tidus was talking to Yuna. "Yuna?"

"Yea?"

"What?"

"I wanted to know if you were still hanging out with us tomorrow. Ya know me, you, Wakka, Rikku, and Baralai?"

"Yea, I'm still coming, are you and Kerri going to make up?" Tidus questioned.

Yuna was silent.

"Yuna?"

"Yea?"

"Well…?"

Yet again silence came from Yuna's side of the phone.

"Ya know, Yuna, this isn't like you at all, normally you're the reasonable, friendly one. What's gotten into you," Tidus said growing impatient.

Yuna voice was low as she replied, "I don't know."

"Yuna, I know your upset, but she still thinks of you as her friend."

"What?"

"She stood up for all of you that day you guys were mean to her, in warrior training." Tidus informed her.

"I'm sure she did…" Yuna said, not believing what Tidus was telling her.

"She did- go ask Paine, she'll tell ya!" Tidus said defensively.

"Fine! I'll ask her tonight!" Yuna shouted

"Fine! Good bye!" Tidus shouted as he slammed the receiver down. Maybe that was a little harsh- but Yuna's being ridiculous.

Tidus walked back into the living room to find Gippal on top of Kerri, tickling her. What the hell?

Kerri was squirming all over the place trying to get away from Gippal. Ahh! I can't breathe. "Gip…pal…p…please… STOP!" she screamed in between laughs.

Gippal smirked and said, "what? I can't hear you…"

Finally Kerri broke free from Gippal and rolled off the couch. She stood up and went, "Ah, now I have to go to the bathroom!" and she ran upstairs to the bathroom.

Tidus laughed and Gippal turned and looked at him. Tidus smirked and said, "Maybe I'll get a straight answer from you. Is there something going on between you and Kerri?"

Yea, I wish. Gippal smirked and said, "Just working the Gippal charm."

I wish there two would just get together already – It's so obvious they like each other. Tidus sighed and said, "Whatever, man."

Kerri came back downstairs and said, "Ahh, I feel relieved."

Tidus laughed and said, "Gee, thanks for sharing."

Kerri put on a cheesy smile and said, "Anytime. So, what time is this game?"

Tidus replied, "Seven. So we have to be there by 6 to get settled and such and since we have to go to Luca we need to leave about 4:30 to get the 5PM ferry…"

Gippal looked at his watch and added, "Which means we got to get Wakka and head out for the ferry now."

As they heading out the door, Wakka pulled up in his truck wearing an Al Bhed Psyches jersey. "Oh yea, I almost forget- lemme put on the jersey," Kerri said as she ran back into the house.

She came out two minutes later with the jersey on. Gippal smiled and said, "Good it fits."

"Yup- I love it. Thanks!"

Gippal smirked and said, "I love it too. My favorite girl wearing my favorite team's jersey."

Kerri blushed. Favorite girl?

Kerri and Gippal got in the back and Tidus sat up front with Wakka. "Now, you two aren't going to fight are you?" Wakka asked from the drivers seat.

Both Kerri and Gippal said in unison, "No, Wakka." They looked at each other and started laughing.

It was a short ride from Tidus' house to the pier. When they got there it was a quart to 5 and boarding had already begun. When they got on, Wakka and Tidus had gone off to get food and Gippal was MIA (missing in action), so Kerri walked to the front of the boat and looked out into the horizon. She watched the waves slowly crash onto the shore of Besaid.

"Penny for your thoughts."

Gippal. She smiled and said, "Just enjoying the scenery. I love the beach, always have."

Gippal looked out over the railing and said, "Yea, it's nice."

Then without warning the boat started with a jolt heading towards Luca. Catching them off guard Kerri lost her balance and fell into Gippal, knocking them both to the floor. Because of the way they fell, Kerri landed on top of Gippal. Kerri sat up smiled and said, "Nice catch."

Gippal sat up behind her, wrapped his arms around her waist, put his head on her shoulder and said, "Yea, I agree."

Kerri just blushed and rested her head on his chest. They both just sat there watching the sky, taking in the quiet. This quiet alone time didn't last long because before long Wakka and Tidus came looking for them. "Gippal? Kerri?" Wakka's voice came from a distance.

At the sound of Wakka voice Gippal released Kerri from his grip and they both scurried to their feet. When Tidus and Wakka "found" them, they had food with them.

It had taken the boat 45 minutes before it finally docked at Luca. Before they exited the boat, Tidus linked arms with Kerri and said, "Stay close. You don't want to get lost. If the other get lost they know their way around."

Kerri smiled and said, "Ok, Dad."

They exited the boat and stepped into the city. The murmur of excited children filled the air. Kerri looked around and took it all in. She smiled inwardly at the sight of kids clinging to their parents who were dragging them along the busy street. Children clad in their favorite team's jersey. The aroma of hot dogs, cotton candy, and popcorn filled the air.

After wandering the streets, they finally came to the Blitz stadium. Kerri was floored it was awesome. I thought the sphere at school was cool; this is by far much cooler!

Soon enough the game was off. Kerri was memorized and it didn't take long for her to get the gist of what was going on. Soon enough she was screaming and cheering at the top of her lungs. She fit right in. It was the last quarter and the score was tired. Al Bhed Psyches: 4 - Luca Goers: 4. It was now the last 5 minutes of the game and still no one had scored. Everyone was at the edge of his or her seats. Someone from the Psyches had the ball, he was dribbling it up the middle, and the field was open. O no, one of the goers was going to block him. He took a hard hit, but still had the ball. He had a clear shot of the goal. The timer on the clock is counting down, 10 seconds. He shoots, the entire crowd went silent… He scores! Everyone jumped out of his or her seats! Everyone on the Al Bhed Psyches side was screaming and cheering. Gippal turned to Kerri, picked her up, and spun her around. They were both laughing and cheering. Then, Tidus tapped Kerri and pointed to the TV Screen and on it had her and Gippal with 'Cutest Couple Here' written along the bottom. Kerri and Gippal blushed, smiled, and Kerri waved!

After some more cheering they were exiting the arena and were approached by a man who was wearing a 'Luca Goers' jersey. He had parted red hair that came down to his ears. He was tall and had a strong build. He then addressed Tidus; "I'm surprised you'd show your face in Luca. I mean wouldn't you be embarrassed since our teams always wipes the floor with your pathetic excuse for a Blitz Team."

Wakka crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes. "Bickson," he spat out.

Bickson averted his attention to Wakka, "Hello, Wakka, You going to embarrass Besaid again by showing up to your games?"

Gippal has his arm intertwined with Kerri's and Kerri felt his grip on her get tighter as he said, "Bickson, we're going home, we don't have time for you."

"Well if it isn't the drop out. What happened, Gippal, competition a little to tough for you?" He said as he flexed his muscles.

Tidus got in Bickson's face and said, "Leave us alone, Bickson. We don't have time for you."

"There's always time for a reunion," a voice said from behind the group.

Tidus turned around. Shit, Graav and Abus. Wonderful.

"I mean, now that the odds are even, don't you think its only fair we do it right," Abus said.

"Well, things are exactly even, I saw your little friend on the TV, Gippal, who is she?" Graav asked.

Gippal stood between Kerri and Graav and said, "None of your business."

"Oh, but I think it is," Bickson said, as he grabbed Kerri. "What's your name, hot stuff?"

Kerri gave him a dirty look and said, "Kerri."

"You wanna get with a real man like me, instead of this dirty tweak. It's a once in a lifetime offer." Bickson said as he ran his hand up Kerri's arm.

Kerri smacked his hand said, "Don't touch me."

"Oh, we have a feisty one. I like that in a girl."

This guy just doesn't get it. Kerri rolled her eyes and pushed past him saying, "I don't have time for this."

"You've got a nice piece of meat on you," Bickson said as he slapped her ass.

Kerri stopped dead in her tracks. O No he didn't. She turned around, "Bastard!" and she punched him in the face.

Bickson covered his eye and threw her to the floor, "Bitch!"

Wakka ran over to Kerri, while Gippal got in Bickson face and said, "How'd you like a broken nose to go with that black eye?" He then pulled his arm back and punched him in the nose. After that all hell broke loose, fist were flying from every direction.

"Kerri! Are you ok?" Wakka asked her.

"Yea, I'm fine- don't worry about me. Go help Tidus and Gippal!" Kerri replied.

Graav and Abus had double-teamed Tidus while Bickson had Gippal in a headlock giving him blows to his back. Wakka ran to help Tidus, leaving Kerri alone to watch the carnage.

"Guys, STOP! This is stupid," she shouted trying to get the attention of the boys, but got no response.

She looked around, Wakka was holding his own, Gippal was all right, but Tidus was taking a beating from Graav. This is friggin insane. Kerri thought to herself. She ran over to where Tidus was and said, "Please stop." Graav punched Tidus in the face knocking him into Kerri. She "caught" Tidus, who was half conscience. She gently put his head down. Looking up she saw Gippal being double-teamed by Bickson and Graav.

Kerri was furious and stormed over to Graav, he turned and took a swing at her. Kerri ducked it and said, "Hey, my fist wanted to meet you face. She then punched him. She went to hit him again when she was grabbed and wasn't able to move. She looked over at Tidus and Wakka who were on the floor, not moving. Oh my God. I hope they're ok.

He attention was quickly averted away when someone pulled her hair back and said, "Pay Attention."

Kerri looked straight ahead and saw Graav spitting out blood. She smirked; she had given him a bloody lip. He walked up to her, "You think that this is funny?"

"I think you face is funny," she replied.

Graav lifted his hand to hit her and she closed her eye tightly awaiting the pain, but it never came. She slowly opened her eyes and saw that Bickson was talking to him. "Instead of hitting her, let her watch as we take turns beating her little boyfriend up." Graav spit at Kerri and said, "Watch this." And he punched Gippal who was being held by Bickson.

Kerri flinched as Gippal let a pained groan escape his lips. As this continued Kerri got progressively angrier, until finally she snapped. She broke from Abus' hold and knocked him to the floor. She glared at Bickson and Graav. Gippal looked at her and noticed a red orb forming by her hands. Finally she screamed "FIRA!" and the spell hit Bickson and Graav.

"Shit, She's a mage! Run!" The three of them fled the premises and Gippal ran to Kerri.

"Ker, that was amazing."

Kerri gave him a weak smile, before her eyes rolled back into her head and everything went black.
