-Knight-

Out of all the odd couples I've seen this day, they are the weirdest! I mean, look at them! They're completely opposites; Day and Night, Comedy and Tragedy, Beauty and… honestly, I couldn't say Beast. Ohhh~ I hope they won't come this way. Who am I talking about? Well, there are dozens of people who visited Event Square today, more than the usual I might add. Out of those that passed, they're the most attention grabbing!

The girl is very pretty; chestnut brown hair that waved with the wind, sparkling emerald green eyes, a to-die-for smile, and a captivating laugh—a definite head-turner. If it weren't for the man who walked so insecurely close to her, dozens of men—including yours truly—would've snatched her away already. He wasn't just any man though. Looking at him within a glance, one could tell he was an ex-convict. His sapphire blue eyes screamed murder; his lips were tightly pursed; his expression stiff, wary. He's good-looking, I'll admit. His golden blonde hair gave off a mystifying contrast to his dark façade. Girls go gaga over this type of guy!

I stared at them intently, and for a split-second there… I thought his lips twitched slightly. Oh, damn! If he looked cool with a blunt affect, he was out-of-this-world handsome with a smile! For a moment there, I thought I had turned gay…

I silently cursed under my breath. Why didn't I come out like that? Then, I gathered, when Gaia showered handsomeness unto the planet, I was sleeping like a log… It's unfair! Here I am brooding and there he was, not using his face to good use. If only…

"Congratulations! You're our 100th couple for today. You two will be the leads in tonight's show!"

Oh, Wizard, you didn't!

I slapped my forehead in utter grief as my co-star Wizard ran towards the odd couple. Tonight was enchantment night so every single one of the attractions is free. Our attraction is our well-received, roleplaying theatrical performance! We've posted flyers all over Golden Saucer about a special surprise for the couples that'll visit Event Square. Everyone who passed were normal couples who enjoyed the being in the play, but I've got a grave feeling with those two.

Hope they'd disagree…

The blonde looked at Wizard as if the latter had gone nuts. Like I predicted, he was too much of a badass to participate in this frilly frilly show.

"Not inte—"

But Wizard had had to persuade them.

"Oh, now, it's not hard. Just play it however you want to and the rest of the cast will cover up for you," he explained and gave me an approving wink. Oh how I'd love to wipe that smug grin from his potato face! I've given him thousands of signals not to approach that particular couple, but he's too damn stupid! He returned his attention to the couple and added, "Come this way."

"H-Hey!" The blonde stuttered. From the looks of him, he's confused on what to do at the moment.

The brown-headed girl he's with beamed at him and ran onward, stopping halfway to encourage him to follow her. "This sounds like fun~ Come on, Cloud. Let's do it!"

Seeing no other escape route, this Cloud gave up and followed her backstage. Grudgingly, I moseyed the same way with a heavy heart.

I wish this would all go well…

-Wizard-

"There is no way in hell I'd wear those pansy pants," the blonde, Cloud, muttered with firmness.

The man is as hardheaded as a nutmeg in December! The girl that came with him was very cooperative—bless the little angel—but this one…

"Curtains UP!"

My thoughts were focused at the stage as the narrator's voice boomed althroughout the old run-down theatre.

"Long, long ago, an evil shadow appeared over the peaceful kingdom of Galdia. Princess Rosa was just kidnapped by the Evil Dragon King Valvados. What will become of her?" He paused momentarily to add drama to the already dramatic stage. "Just then, the legendary hero, Alfred, appears!"

"Hey, it's you!" I muttered to the blonde, who stood in the shadows, bewilderment apparent in his face.

He stared at me, like I was crazy, and let out a vexing 'Huh?'

Seeing that Alfred has no plans of walking in front of the stage, I kicked him there! Even though I was afraid of his bloodthirsty eyes, I have no choice. I ignored my fears and just did the dirty deed!

Now, he was standing in front of the backdrop that was decked out with paintings of a house, a Debu Chocobo, and "GOLD SAUCER" scrawled in clumsy white letters.

Hey, were broke! That, and Dio cuts off the money for renovating Event Square, the corrupt git. We would've than better than this sorry-ass piece of stage but we were destitute as of the moment. Why I took up acting, I'll never know.

Moving on, Knight danced his way towards the blonde, knelt, and threw his hands up towards the latter like he was in the presence of some medieval champion. "Oh! You must be the legendary hero… Alfred!"

Cloud sort of looks around, still dumbstruck. Knight rolled his eyes, yet still with a professional smile nudged the blonde without taking his eyes off the audience. "Hey, it's your line."

The blonde points his finger at himself. If this was practice and if he didn't look too badass I could've shoved his finger up his ass. Is he that friggin' DUMB? Knight, on the other hand, still had his composure.

"Yeah, you. Ahem!" Knight stood up, starts rolling his head as if in despair and wailed in an overly dramatic sad voice, "Oh! You must be the legendary hero… Alfred! I know in my soul. Please… please save Princess Rosa!"

Knight kneels again and raises his arms in recognition of another cast member. "Now… please talk… to the King!"
