Somehow, Luna and Derick were able to grab some front row seats. As the field filled with water, Derick turned to Luna and said,

"Luna, there's something that I want to tell you."

"Oh? Is there something wrong?" Luna asked, turning to him.

"No. Nothing's wrong. I don't think there's anything wrong."

"Well, then, what is it?"

"I've been thinking a lot and-"

"Oh! you're not planning on not being my gaurdian anymore, are you?" Luna asked. She hoped to Yevon that he wasn't. Derick was all she had left since she lost Betty.

"No, it's not that. It's-" Derick said as the crowd began to cheer. Luna looked up as the teams came out onto the blitzball field. "I'll tell you later!" Derick cried over the noise.

"Ok!" Luna cried back. The first teams to play were the Besaid Auorchs and the Al Bhed Psyches. The game was intense. As the five minute time limit ticked away, both teams were trying to score as many goals as possible. Luna was amazed how the players could hold their breaths for two rounds of tive minutes a piece. As the half time buzzer rang, the score was tied, two to two.

Luna excused herself to use the rest room. She was washing her hands when she remembered that Derick was going to tell her something. I wonder what it could be, Luna thought as she left the restroom. She went back to her seat just as the second half was begining.

Both teams played very heard. No points had been scored and time was almost up. So far, it was a tie score. Luna looked up when she saw a flash of light. She looked back down into the blitzball sphere and saw Wakka, coach and captian of the Besaid Auorchs, lift up and swim full force with the ball.

Time was almost up. Is he going to make a goal in time, Luna thought. Just as the buzzer sounded to end the game, Wakka threw the ball.

"The Auorch's win, folks! For the first time in 23 years, they won! The Auorchs are in the finals!" The announcer cried.

"They won, Derick!" Luna cried, jumping up and hugging her gaurdian.

"I know! Isn't it great! They have a chance to win the Tournament! Let's see who they get to go up against." Derick said as the next game began.
The Luca Goers beat the Ronso Fangs very easily. Luna couldn't wait to see the final match between the Goers and the Auorchs.As the Auorchs came on the field, Luna was looking for Wakka, but couldn't find him. Instead, she saw the blnde-haired boy from the boat.

"Derick, do you see that blonde-haired boy?"

"Yes. What about him?"

"I saw him last night on the boat. It was only for a moment, but I saw him."

"That must mean that the Besaid Auorchs were on the boat, too."

"I guess so. Let's see if the Auorchs win." Luna said.

"Ok." The first half went pretty well. The core was three to two, Luca Goers. Someone started to chant Wakka's name, and others began to join. Luna guessed that they didn't like the blonde-haired boy. She thought that he had played very well.

She looked out on the field and saw the boy leaving. This kind of disappointed Luna. She thought that he was kind of cute. After a few minutes, Wakka came out onto the field and the crowd cheered.

The restof the game was very good. The last goal was shot and the announcer cried,

"The Auorchs win, folks!"
