Tales of an Al Bhed Princess
Prologue (7 years after FFX-2)
"C'mon, Auntie Rikku! Tell us a story!"
Wow… It can be totally hard dealing with little kids…Who knew? How in Spira can Wakka and Lulu handle this!
"Yeah! Please Auntie Rikku! Plleeeeaaasse…"
I scowled at them. Turning to the older of the two (who is only 7) , I frowned and shook my head.
"Just look what you've done, Vidina! Now you've got Meiko acting like you! To think, she used to be sooo sweet."
He just stuck his tongue out at me and said, "No, she used to be annoying…"
Meiko glared at him meanly, which is actually totally cute, 'cuz she's only 4.
"Geez, you two kids… No wonder your parents needed a break…" I complained quietly. If you call a double dinner date a "break".
Vidina smirked. "Maybe we'll behave if you tell us a story…"
Does he take after his mother or what? Wakka's no where near that malicious… HEY! Malicious is a big word! Go me for remembering it! Wait, malicious is bad…
"Aw, c'mon! All my stories are way boring…" I protested. HEY! Another big word!
Meiko gave me a confused look. "My mommy said that you had lots of adventures together. Tell us about those!"
Ya know, I really hate Yuna sometimes… Is there anything she doesn't tell this kid? Aha! That's it!
"I'm sure your mommy already told you all those stories dozens of times!" I replied. Like I have something to tell these kids anyways…
"Then tell us one of your stories, then. One that mommy won't know."
"I don't have any –"
"You're so full of it, Rikku!" Vidina interrupted.
"Hey, watch it, you!" I demanded. "Or I'll never baby-sit you again and you'll be stuck with Paine all the time..."
He instantly shut up. Smart kid, that one! No seven-year-old wants to be watched by someone as harsh and sarcastic as Paine. Meiko, however, still being 4, clearly didn't understand. At least she's optimistic…
"Just one story, Aunt Rikku, please…"
Oh, she's good! Ya know those faces that are pleading and happy and oh-so-adorable? Hard to resist, right? If the one wearing that face is your cousin's oh-so-adorable daughter, it's even harder.
I sighed and rolled my eyes. "Don't say I didn't warn you…"
Meiko hugged me, and then clapped in excitement. Vidina smirked yet again. I, meanwhile, grabbed a chair and pulled it to the center of the room. I then plopped into the seat and stared at those evil kids.
"Sit," I commanded, pointing to the floor. They obeyed grinning.
"All right, then! My story starts on the Celsius, just after Yunie and Tidus re-united .She was givin' him a tour of the airship, me following close behind…"
Wassup! I'm totally new at this, so I'm sorry if you all hate me… This part really has nothing to do with the story, but I thought it was a good intro. Please review, tho, if I respond, it might take a while. I seriously hope you guys like it… I don't want to suck…
