Love That Will Not Die
(This takes place right after FFX but is way before FFX2...yeah. I don't know if this will be long but I hope you all like it anyway! Ok enjoy!)
Chapter 1
"Finally!" said Wakka, a young man with wild orange hair. "This season of Blitzball is coming to an end! I can finally relax, ya?"
"We all get to!" said one of his teammates. "We've been doing so much better this season. We're bound to win the finals."
I sure hope Lulu's gonna be there to watch. Wakka thought. She's gonna be so impressed to see me win, ya!
Later on, the game had begun and everyone on Wakka's team, The Besaid Aurochs, prepared themselves. Wakka could not help but look around to see where Lulu was. Wherever she was, she was with Yuna, a young lady with one green eye and the other blue, with medium length brown hair. If he could find Yuna, he could find Lulu. Rikku was going to be there too. She would be easy to spot. At every game she bounces up and own in her seat, cheering Wakka on. Her green eyes always sparkled with excitement at a Blitzball game.
Blitzball was such a strange, yet enjoyable game. Everyone on the team would enter a large sphere of water. They would swim back and forth, taking the ball and getting it into the goal.
Wakka remembered his days when he played Blitzball with Tidus on his team. Tidus was the one who had helped them to win a game for once. Since then, they had actually done well in Blitzball. Wakka really wished Tidus could still be with them. Wakka finally snapped out of his daydreaming and focused on the game. If he was going to win and impress Lulu, he had to pay attention. As time went by, both teams continued to score points. It was a tie at this moment. Both teams had only two points. There were about three minutes left in the game.
At the moment, Wakka did not have the ball. He figured this was his chance to find where Lulu and the others were sitting. He spotted Yuna, and next to Yuna as Rikku, but then he saw an empty seat. Wakka was in such shock. The one person he wanted to be there had not shown up!
She may have gone to the bathroom or something, ya. He thought. Just relax. She'll show up.
Finally, the game had ended and the Besaid Aurochs won: 4 to 2. Afterwards, Wakka had caught up with Rikku and Yuna.
"Way to go, Wakka!" said Rikku. "I'm so happy that you guys won!"
"Thanks." said Wakka. "Where's Lulu? I didn't see her with you two."
"Oh." Yuna sounded sad. "She...couldn't come."
"What? Why not?"
"She just...couldn't."
"But I really wanted her to be here! Is she even here in Luca?"
"She's back at Besaid." said Rikku.
"BESAID?" Wakka was outraged now. "She didn't want to see me, ya?"
"That's not it at all!" cried Rikku. "We...we can't tell you why. Lulu won't let us."
"That's it! I'm going back there right now!"
"Wakka, wait!" Yuna called after him. "Don't be mad! She has a very good reason. But we've been sworn to secrecy!"
Wakka sighed. "I just really wanted her to be there."
"She'll still be happy to hear that you won!" said Rikku, trying to cheer him up.
"You think so?"
"Of course she will! Let's head back now, not angry, and tell her the good news."
"Sounds like a plan, ya?"
They headed back to Besaid. Wakka was looking forward to see the smile on her face. She never was the type to smile. She was always so serious about everything. It was annoying to always hear her be so negative, but something about it just turned Wakka on. He could not help it. He loved everything about her. Especially those gorgeous red eyes. Her dark hair always covered up one of her eyes making her seem so mysterious. Finally, after a long trip, they had made it back to Besaid.
"Hi Lulu!" Rikku greeted her as she entered Lulu's home. Lulu was lying on her bed.
"Oh, you're back." said Lulu, not seeming to really care.
"Guess what, Lu?" said Wakka. "We won the game! The Besaid Aurochs have won the finals!"
"Fantastic." she said sarcastically.
"You're not happy for me?"
"There's more to life than Blitzball you know." said Lulu, turning on her bed so her back was facing them.
"We should leave." Rikku whispered to Yuna. The two walked out and left Wakka standing there, confused.
"I won the game for you, Lulu. I know that may sound pathetic but--"
"It does."
"What?"
"Wakka, I'm not impressed by things such as Blitzball."
"I don't believe this. You don't even care that I won for you, ya?"
"Wakka, I need to be alone. Please, just leave."
"No. I want to know why you didn't even bother to show up. It was so important to me that you'd be there, ya!"
"I said 'GET OUT!'" she yelled.
Without saying anything else, he did so.
Yuna and Rikku were standing right outside, waiting for what Wakka had to say.
"She didn't even care, ya."
"She's not impressed at all?" Rikku asked.
"No. She says she isn't impressed by things like Blitzball. I put all I had into that game..." He stopped talking, and walked away.
Lulu came out shortly afterwards.
"You really should tell him, Lulu." said Yuna.
"I know." said Lulu. "Where'd he go?"
"He headed towards the Besaid Beach I think." Rikku replied. "So you're gonna tell him?"
"Yes." Lulu replied. "I guess it's only right that I tell him as well. Thank you for keeping your promise though, and not telling him. This is going to be hard for me, but I need to do this."
After that, she walked off to the beach, prepared to tell Wakka the worst news imaginable.
