Shuyin and I came back laughing and exhausted. Yuna seemed somewhat disappointed, and I told Shuyin to go get me a drink. I'd never thought I'd actually ask Shuyin to leave...
''What's up?'' I began with a careful tone in my voice. ''Nothing…'' Yuna answered, somewhat too fast. ''You're lying.'' I continued forcefully.
''I'm not telling you.'' she answered instead. ''Yes you are, you'll break any time soon!'' I laughed as I put my arms over each other.
If she'd only break before Shuyin would come back.
''Alright, fine! I was dancing with this really cute guy, and then BAM! It hit me, I didn't want to dance with that guy, but with Tidus only! But hey! Tidus was surrounded by some gorgeous ladies, so I couldn't do anything!'' she said suddenly. Thank the lord.
''Well, why didn't ya call your beloved sister?'' I answered surprised. ''This is mine to fix.'' Yuna answered.
''Uh, just one more question. Are we going to their blitzball game?'' I continued.
''But of course, what kind of question is that?''
And so, a few days later we went to prepare for the blitzball game. Everyone, even the ones who didn't have to play were nervous.
''Alright, I got hotdogs, hamburgers, and nice little sodas. And look what I found!'' I began, and I held up a plush saying: 'BLITZBALL RULES'.
Yuna giggled. ''That's adorable!'' and she took one out of my hand.
I sat down next to her and sighed. ''We have a great view.''

Yuna
During the game, I held onto my 'BLITZBALL RULES' plushie tightly. If even I was nervous, I couldn't imagine what Tidus and Shuyin were going through. The two of them had both been selected to play for the Abes-team, and this was their first official match (against the Goers). The blitzsphere got filled up with water, and the blitz players entered it. We could hear lotsa girls cheering once Tidus and Shuyin entered. But Lenne and I were obviously cheering a lot harder. "GO FOR IT! YOU CAN DO IT! KICK SOME GOERS' ASS!" we yelled as hard as we could, not that they would actually hear us inside that sphere, but whatever.
The game had begun, some players of the Goers were passing the blitzball at each other, and got pretty close to the goal. But Shuyin got in their way and stole the blitzball, throwing it towards Tidus, who caught it. He threw it towards some guy of the Abes-team, who failed to catch it as it got stolen off by the Goers. This time Shuyin couldn't get in their way, and the keeper couldn't stop the blitzball as it got shot into the goal.
"Crap! It's 0-1 for the Goers!" I said (as if that was at all necessary). As time passed, the Goers made another goal, to the disappointment of the Abes-fans. Just before the break came, the Abes scored once though, settling the score to 1-2.
After the short break, the players re-entered the sphere. The Abes started off with the blitzball, and after some good teamwork they scored again. It would only require one more point and the Abes would be able to go to the finals. Now there were only 5 min left 'til the match would end. Shuyin got the blitzball, and passed it to Tidus, who was in the perfect position of making a goal. Once he had to shoot though, he for some reason lost total concentration and shot the blitzball far from the goal. "Damnit!" He cursed himself. After that his actions didn't improve, he failed to catch the blitzball several times and often shot in the wrong direction (d'oh!). And so the Goers made another goal in the last minute. Once the match ended, the score was 2-3 for the Goers, so the Abes wouldn't be going to the finals after all.
"They're gonna kick me out of the team for sure!" Tidus said, being quite mad at himself. He and Shuyin were in the changing room. The other players had already left.
"I'm sure they'll give you a second chance, this was our first time, after all." Shuyin said, trying to cheer Tidus up.
"I don't think they'd do that, everyone was so sure we'd win, but I messed up everything! Seifer's right, I'm a loser after all."
"Don't say that! I'm sure you'll do better next time." Shuyin encouraged. "What must Yuna think of me now." Tidus continued, ignoring what Shuyin said.
"C'mon, it's not that bad.." said Shuyin as he tried to cheer him up once more. "Well, I'm going to look for Lenne now, are you comin' ?"
"No, I'm just gonna stay here for a while." Tidus replied. "Okay then...see ya later." Shuyin said as he left.
"Poor Tidus…" I thought as I left the stands along with Lenne. He really worked hard to get a place in the team, and now they might throw him out...
"Hey, there you are." I heard Shuyin say as he approached us. "Hey, are you ok?" Lenne asked. "Yeah I'm fine, we may have lost but I'm sure things will go better next time." Shuyin replied.
"How's Tidus then?" I asked, not trying to sound too worried. "Not very good, he feels pretty down. He's sure he'll be thrown out of the team because he screwed up." Shuyin answered, looking down. "I'll go look for him." I said. "Where is he?" "He's still in the changing room."
As soon as I entered the changing room and saw Tidus, I knew that Shuyin hadn't exaggerated when he said Tidus was feeling down. I don't remember ever seeing him so sad.
"A-Are you okay?" I said, knowing it was a stupid question. Tidus startled a bit and quickly stood up from a bench. "Y-Yuna, I didn't see you...I..."
He looked down again, not knowing what to say. I took a few steps towards him. "I don't think they'll throw you out of the team, you know. I'm pretty sure they realize your nerves just got to you." Tidus looked up a bit. "I don't know...I really did screw up...a lot."
After a few moments of silence I suddenly said: "You're perfect."
"W-What?" he replied, looking straight at me. "I-I mean...You played perfectly, to me at least, and I..." I looked up at him and drowned in hisblue eyes. Before I realized what a was doing, before I could stop myself, I placed my hands on his cheeks and brought my lips to his.

Lenne
The kiss lasted preeetty long, which Yuna didn't exactly mind.
''Well Tidus, do you always get comforted like this...?" An unknown voice suddenly said. The two of them broke apart, blushing furiously.
''Eh, coach, hi!'' Tidus grinned. The coach smiled. ''I just wanted to say that this isn't the end of the world. In a game it is win or lose. This time, it was lose. That's a part of life son.'' He patted his hand on Tidus's back and left with a mischievous grin.
''That was really awkward.'' Yuna said. ''Yeah, it was.'' Tidus laughed.
''Well, I'll meet you outside, okay?'' Yuna continued. ''Yeah, sure thing.'' Tidus answered, as he watched Yuna leave.
''Ok, what were you doing over there? C'mon, all the details!'' I giggled as I played with my hair. ''Nothing happened!'' Yuna blushed.
''Liar!'' Shuyin and me said at the same time. She laughed. ''Alright alright, something happened. But I'm still not telling you what!''
I nodded. ''Fine, we'll find out from Tidus.'' Yuna smiled and waited for him to come back, which was after a couple of seconds. ''You're fast.'' she giggled. ''As always'' he smiled. ''So, where are we going?'' he continued. ''Rikku said she found a nice place to hang out, so we follow Rikku.'' Lenne answered. ''Okay, well, where's Rikku?'' There was a silence for a few moments. Nobody knew where she was. ''Rikku?'' my voice resounded over the (now empty) stadium. ''Yeah yeah! Don't get your nickers in a twist, I'm over here!'' Rikku's voice yelled. We all laughed. ''What kindda answer is that?'' Yuna giggled. Rikku laughed and joined us. ''Ok, now where are we going?'' Rikku continued.
------
Yuna
"Uh...well I dunno. I thought you had found a nice place to hang out, Rikku." I answered. "I just knew you'd say that! I know just the perfect place, follow me!" Rikku said as she bounced up and down. Where the hell did she get all that energy from?
"Okay then, let's go!" I replied.
Once we left the blitzball stadium we ended up on some crowded streets, with lots of stores and restaurants.
"So, where are we planning on going?" Tidus asked. "You'll see, you'll see!" Rikku exclaimed happily.
Rikku walked really fast, and it was almost hard to keep up. Wherever we were going must be a really cool place!
"Hey Tidus!" Shuyin suddenly said, as he dragged Tidus to his side.
"Did you speak with the coach?" Tidus suddenly blushed a bit and replied:
"Uh yeah... He said it was okay, he didn't throw me out of the team."
"That's great! I told you so!" Shuyin's voice suddenly turned into a whisper as he said: "And what about you and Yuna…? Did anything happen?"
"I'll tell ya later." Tidus whispered back. It was a somewhat awkward thing to talk about considering Yuna walked in front of him, only like 2 meters away.
After that there was a silence for a few moments, which was broken by Lenne. "Rikku, my feet are hurting! How much further?" she moaned.
"Ehh...just a few more minutes, we'll be there soon!" Rikku answered. "Are you sure you aren't lost again?" I said with a teasing tone in my voice.
"O-Of course we aren't lost! It's just a long, long walk okay?" Rikku grumbled. "Then why am I certain that we passed that restaurant before?" I said sarcastically.

Lenne
''Here it is!'' Rikku squeaked after…uh, I don't know, an hour or so.
''Rikku, I'm almost certain that we passed this place twenty times before!'' Tidus growled, stretching his legs.
''Almost certain!'' Rikku growled back, which was followed by her sweet smile. ''Typical…'' Tidus mumbled silently, which made Yuna giggle silently.
''Uhm, if you don't mind me asking, what is this place anyway?'' Shuyin followed, looking at the building.
''This is a dance club! Well, a club where you learn how to dance...'' Rikku answered as she played a bit with her hair.
''A dance club? I hate those. And I'm tired, so I think I'll just go home…'' Shuyin continued, and he turned around. ''Wrong!'' Rikku giggled, and with one yank she pulled him back. ''You follow me, you follow my rules!'' She gave him a smile and walked inside.
The two boys rolled their eyes sarcastically and followed Yuna and me inside.
''Look girls, stand here! Boys, stand there!'' a voice yelled. There was this woman who was really and truly harshto us. She pushed Yuna onto her place roughly with a push and pulled me towards another place. ''Stay!'' she growled, and she continued to boss Shuyin and Tidus around.
''Now, listen up! You follow the steps I just taught you. Ready? Good!'' Without waiting for an answer, she began: ''One, two, three, four!''
Shuyin and Tidus started dancing, (not with a happy face, I might add) and we followed. The woman looked atthem and watched their every move carefully. ''You three now!'' she barked at us. Tidus and Shuyin stepped aside and Yuna, Rikku and I started dancing alone. ''More hip!'' the woman yelled. Was that at ALL possible! ''Boys, re-enter!'' she continued not much later, and the Shuyin and Tidus danced together with us. Rikku was dancing with some guy from the studio.
After a while we were done. ''You did well for newbies!'' the woman said, not yelling for once. We cheered. Not because we liked it, but because we could finally leave. ''Next week!'' the woman said as we were about to leave.
We replied with our happiest smile, but as soon as the doors closed behind us, we all started to growl. ''NEXT WEEK!''

Yuna
I looked at Rikku with widened eyes and a dropped jaw (I wasn't the only one, by the way).
"W-What did she mean 'next week'? I'm not coming here again! That woman treats us like dogs! Why did you bring us here anyway!"
"To give you a head start!" Rikku answered. "And it wasn't that bad, was it?" Tidus and Shuyin exchanged somewhat sarcastic looks.
"What do you mean with 'a head start'? Lenne asked.
"Didn't I tell ya guys yet?" We all gave her confused looks. "Hehe, I guess not then." Rikku continued. "Since the Singing Contest was such a success we're organizing a Dancing Contest!"
"You're kidding right? Those lazy bums don't even have the results of the Singing Contest..." Tidus replied.
"And what made you think that we would want to participate?" Shuyin continued somewhat irritated.
"There'll be great prizes!" Rikku squealed and started jumping around. "Like what?" I asked. "We're still uhm...thinking about that." Rikku answered. "If you join the committee you can help!" she went on enthusiastically. "No, thanks!" the four of us answered at the same time.
It was getting dark pretty soon. So Lenne and I walked quickly back to our house. I told her all about Tidus, since I didn't have the chance to do so earlier. "I felt so sorry for him. I'm sure I'd never seen him so sad, ya know? And I didn't know what I could say to cheer him up. So, I got closer and closer...And then I just--kissed him!" I was feeling giddy all over again as I told Lenne, who answered with a content sigh.
"I can totally picture the two of you standing there...So, what happened next?"
"Well...We were standing there, like that, for about 3 min or so. And then this blitz-coach-dude appeared out of nowhere! That was so awkward!" I continued, blushing. Lenne laughed. "That's even worse than having your baby sister run into that special moment."
"Yeah...Hey? What's that supposed to mean! I was born only 5 minutes later than you! So don't call you just call me your baby sister, I'm not! You heard me? I'm not!" I babbled, sounding (ironically) just like a 5-year old…

Lenne
The next day a crowd formed itself about the school board.
''The contest results are in, c'mon!'' Yuna yelled as she pulled me along with her. I however tripped over my own feet because she was going so fast.
''Ouch--Yuna!--gosh--STOP!'' So she stopped, in front of the school board.
''Yuna and Lenne, Yuna and Lenne...'' she whispered as her finger slid over the paper. ''Here!'' I screamed. ''Number...'' We looked at each other. ''3! We came in third!'' Yuna yelled. I checked it again. ''Yep, that's what it says''.
She shook her head. ''No, we can't be third, we can't!'' she frowned. ''Who's first!'' she continued on a harsh tone. ''Rikku!'' I read out loud. ''Rikku! Oh great…'' Yuna growled. ''We lost to our cousin…'' she continued sighing. ''It happens.'' I laughed.
''You came in first!'' Yuna yelled once again. Not in my ear this time, but in Rikku's.
''I know!'' Rikku squealed happily, and she did a victory dance.
''I'm happy for ya!'' I answered smiling, and Yuna gave me a weak slap. ''No further conversation with the enemy!'' she giggled.
Rikku laughed. ''You did good, too!'' I took a pose. ''Yes we did!''
''So, what place did you guys end up?'' Rikku continued. ''3rd…'' Yuna said with a tone.
''Aw c'mon you nitwits! That's a good spot, stop nagging!'' Rikku answered. ''So, are you entering the Dancing Contest?'' she continued with her sweetest smile.
''No, why should we?'' I answered. ''Aww, afraid of me?'' Rikku teased. Yuna and I exchanged looks and looked back at Rikku.
''Where do we sign up?''
