A/N: Okay, so I really need to thank Rikku's twin and writerjunkie for reviewing! I really appreciate it!
NOTICE: The characters will be out of their normal personalties. I'm sorry but that's just how the story has to be for it to work.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything. None of it is mine. Sadly.

Chapter Two: Superior
"What just happened?" Sir Auron asked as he looked at Yuna with interest.
"Um, I'm sorry!" Yuna squeaked. "That kind of thing happens sometimes." She blushed a deep crimson at everybody but Rikku and Lulu. Rikku wasn't sure what was going on and Lulu was sending her sister death glares.
Yuna had a knack for that. Lulu hated it. That's why she was the scorn of the family. She embarrassed everyone with her stupid little magic tricks which everyone thought were amazing. Either that or they thought they were creepy, just like the ugly girl that was playing the tricks. Lulu knew she just wanted attention. She could see right through Yuna's little act. She knew Yuna was jealous that she was the pretty one in the family.
She wasn't trying to get attention though. Yuna sometimes couldn't help herself. It was just something that happened to her without meaning. When she got angry things like that happened. When she was happy, things would happen that fir the mood. One time Yuna was so happy about her father saying he loved her that a butterfly popped into midair.
She couldn't help being strange.
"You mean, this has happened before?"
Yuna nodded rather sheepishly, scared of what he was going to say. Was he going to kick her out? Was everyone else going to laugh at her, like they all had in Guadosalam? Yuna didn't want that. Even with her nerdy exterior she wanted to be popular.
Popular. It was every girl's dream. Yuna was no different. What girl didn't want to just walk in a room and have guys all over her? If she was that beautiful, she'd have no problems. She knew that for sure. However, with a face like that, she knew she would never be popular.
"Yes, it has happened before."
"Yuna, that is a talent! I shall tutor you myself and take no other students!"
Rikku didn't like that. "What? But, Sir Auron, that's not fair!" Rikku stomped her foot in anger. This FREAK was getting everything that she wanted.
"There will be no exceptions. Yuna, you will meet me in Room 24A every Thursday morning at 9:30."
"Thank you Sir!" Yuna said, gushing with excitement. This was her dream come true. To have nobody hate her because of her... abilities. To have someone notice her and think it was good.
That was a dream come true.
Most of the students that were lingering around had gotten bored so now it was just Lulu, Rikku, Yuna, and Sir Auron in the Entrance Hall. The spectacle had died down by now, but that didn't mean that the gossip was going to stop. Even though Yuna had arrived at Shiz about an hour beforehand, the majority of the school knew her name and what she could do.
Yuna's dream of getting popular was coming true, but instead of getting popular with friends, people were making fun of her.
"In fact, Yuna... you may even be able to visit the Maester."
The room was silent. Lulu couldn't believe her sister's luck. This was so unusual. Lulu was the one who got what she wanted when she wanted it... not Yuna. She would not let her sister take this from her.
Although Lulu didn't want to admit it, this was something that she had dreamed of as well. She wanted to be famous for who she was a what she had done. So many times she had envisioned herself shaking hands with Maester Seymour, smiling as he told the world of her accomplishments. What person hadn't once dreamed of being famous. She wanted to sit there, aplomb radiating from her skin. And if this had to be accomplished by stealing the spotlight from her sister... so be it.
Lulu was better than Yuna. She knew this. Anything her sister could do... she could do it ten times better. Unless it involved something with her legs, that is.
Rikku couldn't believe this either. She was Rikku from the Bikanel Desert, after all! Her dad had united the Al Bhed together. Why... that practically made her ROYALTY! She wasn't going to sit by and let this freak come and steal it all away from her.
The worst part was, she was being forced to room with this girl. If you could even call her a girl. Rikku shuddered at the thought of sharing a bathroom with a girl so hideous. On the plus side, she'd have so much more room without having to deal with all of Yuna's makeup. From the looks of it... she didn't wear makeup.
-
This was pure torture. This girl was taking up Rikku's room! Why couldn't she just go back where she had came from?
She shot her a look across the room as she studied the brown haired girl across the room from her. She was deeply engrossed in writing something. She didn't look like she was annoyed at Rikku or the loud music she was playing. Rikku's perky blonde head bobbed along with the music until finally Yuna looked up.
"Can you turn that stuff off?" Yuna complained loudly. "I can't concentrate."
Rikku's first thought was to ignore her, but decided that she would instead turn the music up. She did this and smirked at her roommate, hoping to get on her nerves. From the look of it, her plan was working. Yuna's forehead wrinkled in annoyance.
Rikku then took out her notebook and fluffy pink pen, hoping to get started on some homework, but instead doodled on the page until Yuna said something again.
"Rikku! Can your stupid blonde head comprehend what I'm saying? Turn the music off!"
Yuna wasn't normally this rude, but this girl just got on her nerves, acting like she was more important than her.
"Excuse me? Did you just call me stupid?" Rikku asked, her eyebrows raising in an angry protest.
"You're stupider that I though! You can't even figure it out!" Yuna laughed. "Stupid blonde."
Rikku suddenly stood up and walked over to Yuna.
"Look you." She jabbed her finger at Yuna's chest in a threatening manner. "This is MY room! I'm being the nice one and letting you stay here, okay? So back off."
"This is MY room too! It's not just yours you selfish little brat. Maybe your Daddy spoils you back home, but I'm not going to let you get what you want!"
"Can you just leave?" Rikku asked, exasperatedly. "I'm really sick of looking at your ugly face!"
Yuna couldn't believe the audacity of this girl! "No, I'm not leaving! Why don't you just turn that music off and shut up, because I'm sick of hearing your perky little voice!"
Rikku gasped. "Excuse me, your ugly clothes are poisoning my closet!" She walked over and started yanking things out.
"Stop touching my stuff!" Yuna screamed, tackling her roommate.
"Get off of me!" Rikku screamed.
"Quit touching my stuff and I will!"
Rikku crossed her arms over her chest as she got up. "I hate you."
"I don't care!" Yuna protested. "I hate you more! Ever since I laid eyes on your perky little blonde head I knew that you were going to be conceited and selfish! That's what girls like you are!"
"Don't tell me what I am and what I'm not!"
"I'll do what I want!"
"No you won't! This is my room! If I wasn't such a nice person, I wouldn't let you stay here!"
Yuna rolled her eyes. Here she was, starting the whole, "my room" thing again. Wasn't she a little old for this selfishness?
"I can't believe how selfish you're being. Every other student has to share... but not you of course!"
"I don't have to share! I get what I want when I want it!" Rikku yelled, stomping her foot.
Strangely, both girls were getting slightly exhilarated through all this fighting and yelling.
"I'm out of here!" Rikku screamed, slipping on a pair of shoes and running out the door. Yuna wasn't done though. This wasn't something she could just forget.
"Wimp! Running out on me?" she yelled, following. Rikku shot her a nasty look. "Ouch, that hurt!"
They had reached the commons area, where students hung out in their free time. This wasn't the explosion she had been looking for, in front of everyone, so she played it cool.
"Yuna," she said calmly, looking the girl straight into her eyes. "I understand that you're upset, but we can work this out!" She grabbed Yuna's hands as Yuna gave her a blank look. "Let's talk this out, okay?"
Rikku was definitely a good actress and she knew that she needed to get on everyone's good side. So what if she was a little fake in the process?
"What the hell are you talking about? You are such a fake!"
The other students started to mutter about what jerk that Yuna was.
"Yuna, there's no need to be like this. Just calm down honey!"
"Whatever, I'm out of here!" Yuna yelled, running off to her dorm.
"Rikku!" someone shouted. Rikku turned around to see one of the girls she had been talking to the day before beckoning to her.
The girl ran up to her. "How can you stand it?"
"Stand what?" Rikku asked innocently. She knew fully well what she was referring to, but decided to pretend like she didn't.
"Stand her! That girl is so crazy! I can't even stand to look at her!"
"Oh that. Well, as much as I don't like her, I really don't know her. She is a bit strange, I know, but I'm going to get to know her before I judge her. Besides, these things are sent to try us! I can handle it!"
Rikku smiled as the other students began applauding and chanting her name. Rikku was such a phenomenon. Any other student would have given up and tried to switch rooms, but not Rikku!
Eventually the ruckus died down and Rikku got utterly bored. She walked back to the room, a slight spring in her step as she walked but stopped when she reached the door. There was a slight sniffling coming from inside, so she stopped and listened.
Was Yuna crying?
A/N: Okay, so I'm really sorry this took so long. The one night I was planning to do it, I had a lot of homework to do. And then every night after that, I had a ton of homework. So finally I'm updating on a late Saturday night.
Review please! Constructive criticism is welcome!!
