You Don't Know The Real Me – Chapter 2

Being Chased, Being Rescued


Life was AMAZING for "Amon" and "Blythe". It's been a few months they rocked Spira with their new music in Luca, and those months have flown by. They've sold so many copies of their first album that they're considering not making another one for a while. With all of this happening, they've got a whole lot of gil coming their way, and so does Alvis. But fame and money isn't all that they got… they got fan girls, and too much of them!

The two guys were really good at acting as their character would, and could even fool themselves sometimes. Amon and Blythe were currently on tour, starting in Kilika, and working their way to Bevelle. They were in Luca now, and this is where the game Catch Amon And Blythe begins…

Come on, what girl wouldn't want to chase them? They looked so good, you could eat them!

Blythe was easily the player of the two, but he wasn't outrageously flirtatious. He had a light tan, which contrasted against his hair. A bright blonde, it reached his shoulders, and he let it hang free most of the time. His eyes were a vivid bottle green with the Al Bhed swirl. He was slim, but not exactly scrawny. Blythe didn't look strong, but you didn't want to be on the receiving end of one of his punches.

Amon was the exact opposite of Blythe. Amon is the perfect image of a shy and caring gentleman. Don't let that fool you though, he'll stand up for what he believes in, and he won't hesitate to hurt you if you slander Blythe in front of him. In contrast to his friend, Amon was pale, with raven black hair that framed his face. His was longer than Blythe's, which is the reason he keeps his tied back. No matter how hard Amon tried, he couldn't get a few short strands to stay in the ponytail, so he just gave up. Now, a few strands of hair falling into his clear blue eyes is his signature look.

Is anyone up for a came of chase the singers now?


"Amon! This way!" Baralai called, and sprinted down an alleyway, almost falling over. The rain was coming down hard, and the both of them were soaked to the bone. Baralai slipped, and landed on his side in a mud puddle. "Damn it..." He cursed as he got up.

"Blythe… this… this is insane… I never imagined actually being chased by women…" Gippal panted, chasing after his friend through the pouring rain. He hadn't tripped into a mud puddle yet, but it was justa matter of time. They were everywhere.

"You're the one that said it would be cool!" Baralai teased.

"Uh, that was before something like this happened!" Gippal yelled back.

After dodging the pursuing girls for the umpteenth time, Baralai "Blythe", and Gippal "Amon" snuck into an empty house… except it wasn't empty.


"Dude! What do you think you're doing!" A young Al Bhed woman cried from the kitchen. "Get out of our house!"

Amon ducked a pan, "I'm so sorry miss! We're leaving-"

"Miss? Now THAT is something I don't get called everyday!" The woman said, coming fully out her kitchen.

Gippal and Baralai's faces fell. Oh no… they knew this woman…

"PAINE! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!"

"What are we screaming for?" Paine grumbled as she ran down the stairs. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw who Rikku was starring at. "Oh. I guess that's a good reason to scream. Being chased by fan girls, boys?"

Baralai rolled his eyes, "No, we're taking a stroll around the block, in the pouring rain." He said sarcastically.

Gippal shook his head. "Sorry about sneaking in. We thought the house was empty."

"It's okay!" Rikku chirped, and smiled sheepishly. "Oh… sorry about the pan Amon… I didn't mean it."

Gippal chuckled, and handed the pan back to her. "It's all right, no offense taken."

"So I suppose you guys want a place to crash until the coast is clear?" Paine asked, crossing her arms.

Baralai flashed her a grateful smile. "We'll make it up to you, we promise."

"Here, my older brother crashes here sometimes too. I'll get some of his clothes for you guys… you've gotta be soaked. I'll be right back!" Rikku called over her shoulder.

"Thank you…" Gippal said as he came into the living room, now dressed in dry clothes. "Oh, I feel bad… your names?"

"Oh! Amon, this is Paine, and I'm Rikku."

"Nice to meet you ladies!" Baralai said happily, now entering the room.

Gippal starred at his friend. "You amaze me sometimes."

"Huh?"

Rikku giggled, and Gippal shook his head. Paine smirked, "Do you guys want anything?"

"Whatcha got?" Baralai asked, lounging back into the couch. Gippal smiled to himself. Oh yeah, he taught Baralai well. You wouldn't think that this outspoken guy was the praetor of New Yevon.

"Just about anything." Paine answered, looking at Gippal. "Your clothes should be dry in about 15 minutes."

"Thank you, to the both of you." Gippal replied, and inclined his head to the two girls.

Baralai leaned over and punched him on the arm. "You can stop flattering them beyond all belief and sit down now."

Gippal raised an eyebrow. "Flattering? That's your department Blythe."

As Rikku laughed, and Paine hid a smile, Gippal sat down in an armchair. Paine went to go get something warm to drink for all of them, while Rikku plopped herself down next to Baralai on the couch. When Paine returned, she took a seat in the last remaining armchair.


For the next hour, the four of them sat and talked. Well, Gippal and Baralai really shared their horrors of doing concerts. At this point in time, they were telling how many times they've had to dodge fan girls.

"We knew it came with the package, but damn… I swear I've never seen so many girls that determined before…" Baralai muttered.

"You enjoy every minute of it Blythe, don't deny it." Gippal smirked, and Paine and Rikku laughed.

Baralai raised an eyebrow. "Oh, and you don't?" he taunted. Gippal blushed, which made the group laugh even harder. Then Gippal spotted the clock on the wall, and jumped up.

"BLYTHE! We've gotta get back! It's an hour until we need to be backstage!"

Baralai looked up at the clock, and paled. "Shit! I hate it how time flies!" ((A/N: Baralai cussed! Ahaha! It all comes with posing as someone else!))

Rikku ran to the laundry room and pulled their clothes out of the drier. "Here! Get going! We'll lend you some umbrellas!"

Baralai and Gippal caught their clothes, and Baralai beat Gippal to the bathroom. "Oh come on Blythe!" Gippal cried in frustration. Baralai just laughed from the other side of the door.

Gippal shook his head, and set his clothes down on the back of an armchair. He saw Paine picking up the remains of their drinks and snacks. "Here, let me help you with that."

Paine looked up, startled. To Gippal's surprise, she blushed. "Thank you." She mumbled. He helped her gather the dishes, and carried them to the kitchen. (Rikku was watching from the laundry room, starting the next load of wash.) Gippal washed the dishes out in the sink, and Paine put them in the dishwasher. When the task was done, Paine looked up at Gippal and gave him a small smile.

"Thanks again."

Gippal beamed down at her. "It wasn't a big deal."

"Amon!" Baralai called, coming out of the bathroom. "Hurry up!"

Gippal rolled his eyes, then went into the bathroom to change.

"Here, I'll take those." Rikku said, coming out of the laundry room. She took her brother's clothes from Baralai's grasp. She couldn't help but stare at Baralai for a moment. The dark, baggy jeans with the black t-shirt was irresistible.

"Thanks Rikku."

Gippal emerged, dressed in his faded jeans, white t-shirt, and dark blue coat ((A/N: Think about Baralai's praetor coat. Yeah, like that, except a solid navy blue with no cord in the collar. It's open all the way, not closed at the top. Yum...)) His hair was back in his ponytail, and the shorter strands were beginning to rebel against the hair tie. Paine took the clothes he had been wearing, and put them in the laundry room so she wouldn't stare. Blythe wasn't that attractive in her eyes, but Amon was a masterpiece. Not like she would tell anyone that though.

"Girls, we have no idea how to thank you for all you've done." Baralai said, and Rikku smiled back at him.

"Oh don't worry, it was fun."

"Anyway, did any of you guys find an envelope in my back pocket of my jeans?" Gippal asked, and Rikku blushed.

"Oh yeah, here it is. Sorry, didn't think you would want it washed." Rikku said, holding it out to Gippal, but he shook his head.

"Oh no, those are for you."

"Wait, are those what I think they are?" Baralai asked Gippal, who nodded. Baralai smiled evilly at Rikku. "Yup, those are… a gift from us. Think of it as our thank you."

Rikku slowly opened the envelope, and squealed.

"What?" Paine asked flatly, looking over Rikku's shoulder. When she saw what was in the envelope, her eyes went wide. She reached inside, and pulled out two tickets to that night's concert. Dra Rettah Sah… The Hidden Men concert… in other words, Amon and Blythe's concert.

"Are you serious? These are ours?" Rikku squeaked.

Baralai laughed, "Yeah. Short notice I know, but hey, we never get anything done on time."

Rikku squealed, and gave Baralai and Gippal a big hug. (Baralai a slightly bigger one.) "Thank you! Oh my gosh! Oh no! We've only got an hour to get ready!"

Gippal rolled his eyes, and grabbed Baralai by the arm. "And that means we now have less than an hour to get back. Sorry girls, but we have to run!"

"Umbrellas!" Rikku cried, and ran over to the closet.

"It's okay, we're good!" Baralai called over his shoulder as the two singers left through the door into the pouring rain.

Rikku looked at Paine. "And you lecture me about not locking the door."
