Me: Well! Here ya go! Chapter 2 redone! Alright, alright...please keep the applause down.

(cricket chirp)

Me: ...mebbe a little higher?

(crickets stop)

Me: ...I have cookies...?

(applause starts)

Me: (smiles brightly) Okay then! I really don't have much to say but...take a cookie and enjoy chapter 2!

Chapter 2: ...Huh?

I groaned as I opened my eyes, only to shut them again because of the bright light. Many thoughts were running through my head at the moment. Having a semi-truck run you over will do that to you. Like, was I dead, where was my backpack, or where do the missing socks from the washer go…I was feeling a little woozy so I just laid there until I heard some people walking by me say something about a blitzball game. My eyes snapped open and I jerked my head up.

'Blitzball?' I thought that is until I got a good look at my surroundings. There were people wearing weird clothes everywhere and there were huge buildings all pushed together, that seemed to be reaching for the sky. I was standing on a mechanical bridge leading into the heart of the city. And everything looked like it was in FMV, including me. I knew this place.

"Zanarkand…" I breathed

"Correct." I heard a voice from behind me, and spun around to see the Bevelle Fayth.

"Why am I here? Wait, HOW am I here? This is just a video game…right?"

The Fayth just shook his head "Yes and no. Spira is as real as your world is. And yet your world is not real here, just as Spira is not real in your world."

I thought about this or a moment, keeping my sight on a frozen person with totally fake red hair. "I think I get it…but why am I here? Didn't I just get run over?"

"You said you could create a better ending for Spira, so prove it."

"Are you NUTS! How do you expect me, no matter how wonderful you may THINK I am, to survive in this world without becoming FIEND FOOD in, like, 5 MINUTES!"

The Fayth pointed to one of the buildings "Stop whining. Go and watch some blitzball while you can." And that was all he said before he faded away.

"Wait, you….grr…dang it!" Some people, now unfrozen, turned to see who was shouting, but I just walked away quickly.

As I walked along the street to the blitz stadium I watched the people going by. There were young couples walking hand in hand just enjoying each others company, in their own little world. A father was taking his little boys towards the blitz stadium, most likely seeing one of their first blitzball games ever. A couple of kids ran by me, each holding a different colored ball, giggling. I stopped walking. All of these people were going to die. This was different than the game…this was real. These people looked happy now but soon they would scream in terror. I shivered slightly, started walking again and shook my head. It was depressing thinking that I could do nothing to save these people…these dreams…

I stopped abruptly. I was in front of the stadium and it sounded like the game had already started. 'Maybe watching some blitzball will cheer me up. Watch the game, have some popcorn…at least until Sin comes.'

But wouldn't you know it? The screams started. People came rushing out of the stadium so fast that I was knocked over in the rush of it all. I struggled to get back up as people tried to run over me. I succeeded…just to have a piece of collapsing building fall right in front of me. I yelped and scooted back but I tripped over something in the process.

"Oww…why do I keep falling on my butt today!...I wanted some popcorn too…Do they even HAVE popcorn here?" I grumbled and questioned as I looked to see what I tripped on.

'Oops…' It was Tidus. I got myself up, AGAIN and tried to wake him up.

"Umm…" I started to poke him repetitively "Hello in there…Wakey wakey eggs and bacy…" After 20 more pokes (Boy he's a heavy sleeper) Tidus started to stir.

'Finally!' I mentally celebrated in my head as Tidus opened his eyes to see…well, me.

He blinked a few times and then asked "Who are you? And can you move you head please?"

"Hee hee…" I stood up and helped Tidus stand "I'm Jemma, the tenth wonder of the floral universe, nice to meet you!" I gave him a friendly smile.

"My name is Tidus…" He gave me a veeeery weirded out look (you know the one I'm talking about…) and looked around and something, or should I say someone (A/N Ten points to the next person who can guess who…) caught his eye.

"Auron!" He ran over to a man in a red coat, a.k.a. Auron. I followed him well…because I wanted to live and there was no where else to go that wasn't falling apart. I liked that first reason better.

"What are you doing here?" Tidus asked, as I walked up next to him.

I said "He was waiting for you." At the same time he said "I was waiting for you."

I started giggling, but quickly shut up, because Auron gave me a 'Single eye Evil eye', as I have dubbed it. I looked down to avoid it and started twiddling my fingers.

"Who are you?"

Before I could answer, Tidus decided that he would be me and answer. "Her name is Jemma, the tenth…something. She…well…woke me up." I face-palmed. It just sounded so stupid to say it like that. Mental note to self: Make Tidus practice introduction until he starts to cry. Auron just grunted and started to walk away. Tidus, being the idiot that he was at the moment, just watched him.

I poked him in the side. "Well let's follow him." I started to jog away as Tidus snapped out of his trance.

"Er, right!" He jogged next to me as we…lost sight of Auron. Tidus and I stopped and looked around for him.

"Oh…how the heck can he walk so fast!" I panted out "He was walking, for Pete's sake!"

"Who's Pete?" I nearly fell over from the stupidity of that question.

"It's an expression, stupid!"

I felt a sort of ripple go through the air as everyone froze again. I turned around to see the Bevelle Fayth (A/N I'm going to call him just Fayth from now on) talking to Tidus. After he was done he disappeared. Tidus looked back to me looking at the spot where the Fayth was.

"Did you see him too?"

"…nope you're going crazy…" Just before Tidus could argue, a very large katana came in between us. I squeaked and took a step back.

Auron glared at us for being too slow to keep up and turned his sight to the sky. "We call it 'Sin'." Tidus and I followed his sight. I gasped. Jecht got BIG! Sin looked A LOT bigger in person than on a T.V. screen, even more so than I imagined.

"…Dude…one too many fries…" Auron glanced at me…and when I say glanced, I mean glared.

Then a whole bunch of little scales came flying towards us. They all landed at random places around us and opened up into Sin scales. I backed towards Auron as Tidus tried to fight them off bare-handed. He failed miserably and Auron handed him Longsword. Tidus took it and fell over from the weight of it.

"A gift from 'Jecht'."

"My old man?"

As they got into fighting stance, I picked up two broken metal bar pieces that I assumed came from the bridge. I twirled them around just like Rikku from FFX-2 does in the YRP pose. Auron and Tidus just gave me a look that said 'what are you gonna do with those…smack them to death?' I gave them a smirk and ran up to one of the scales, hitting it several times as hard as I could.

'Till the day I end up 6 feet under, I will never forget when the stupid thing reacted to my awesome battle moves…it...flinched. As I openly gaped at the 'in-destructible fiend', I could hear Tidus trying real hard to keep from laugh…only not hard enough. Auron grabbed my shoulder and 'guided me' to the back of the fight.

I stumbled a little and turned to shout at him, but before I could, all he said was "Keep out of this."

Then a scale came up from behind me a scratched me "OW!" I looked down and saw that the stupid thing RIPPED my FAVORITE shirt! I gave my primitive battle cry and proceeded to whack the thing over and over again until Tidus came over to stop me and give me a potion to stop the bleeding that I didn't even notice (I know it SEEMS stupid to care about a shirt so much and ignore injuries but I love that thing and I made it myself…), staring at me with a slightly fearful look.

As we fought (and when I say we I mean Auron and Tidus fighting, me cheering…sorta), the Sinspawn Ammes came down and landed behind us. I gracefully…fell down on my butt again, while Tidus stumbled and Auron just turned around, seemingly unfazed. I got up again only to get Demi-ed with the rest of the group. We fought it for a while, not making huge progress in defeating it, when we got Demi-ed three more times. We were all looking a little beat up (especially the newbie's a.k.a. me and Tidus).I racked my brain for ideas as Auron and Tidus fought it.

I got it "Auron, use Dragon Fang!" He looked slightly surprised but nodded. Tidus, catching on quickly, decided to use Spiral Cut on Ammes and all of the glowing light tentacles faded into pyreflies. I took this chance to stab the now weaker Sinspawn several times until it collapsed into pyreflies as well. I ran up to join the boys, as I so lovingly dubbed them, and saw that they were…sinking? I slowed down, a dawning realization on my face, and looked up. Sin was right on top of us. My mouth adopted and 'o' shape. Sin was reeeeealllly bigger that I thought he would be. I heard Auron talk to Jecht/Sin and he then proceeded to lift Tidus up by his collar. I walked up, yes walked, to them just as Auron said "This is your story."

I felt a weird cool feeling as we all got sucked up into Sin. It was not really soothing, but it made me…un-feeling, sort of. Like I didn't care about anything at all anymore. I just didn't feel. I was like the white around me…blank.

Although I didn't feel anything, I thought about many things. Like how nice it would be to have some items instead of just the clothes on my back and how I came to be here in the first place. It seemed like forever and yet only a little while that I was there. I could sense that Tidus was also there but I could not reach him, so I just decided to close my eyes and think some more.

Me: This one had more changes that the first one sooo...(looks over at readers)...what did ya think?

Auron: What makes you think that they even read it?

Me: Auron...(sniff)...that was mean...

Auron: (looks on at unfolding scene uncaringly)

Me: ...well...NO COOKIE FOR YOU! (snatches away plate full of special cookies that have 'FFX' written on them in frosing)

Auron: (looks on AGAIN at unfolding scene uncaringly)

Me: Hmm...or Tidus...

Tidus: WHAT! NOOOOOOOO! AURON HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME! (grabs Aurons coat and sobs uncontrollablyonto it)

Auron: (gives authoress 'Single eye Evil eye')

Me: (grins triumphantly) Well...as always...R&R!
