Part 15


Tidus: So, Creepy Kid with Hood....How's it hangin'?

Creepy Kid with Hood: Enough inane chit-chat. Have you thought of a way to defeat Sin already?

Tidus: Um, we go fight that Yu Yevon guy?

Creepy Kid with Hood: Ding ding ding! We have a winner! First prize is... some Yu Yevon backstory!

Tidus: Geez, not very much. You know, for a main villain, he really isn't all that well-defined.

Creepy Kid with Hood: Oh, and like you guys ARE? Quit whining and go cap him already. And don't forget to call on us for help when you do.

Yuna: Okey-dokey.

Creepy Kid with Hood: Oh and Tidus... Sorry about that whole "You just being our dream" thing again.

Tidus: Aw don't worry about it. It's not your fault the writers (*&%*ING HATE ME!!!!

Yuna: What did you just say?

Tidus: Nothing. Don't worry your pretty little head about it. Just go back into Default Cheery Mode, okay?

Yuna: I can't. I'm now in Full Worry Mode. Thanks to you being a crappy liar and all.

Shelinda: Oh dear, I can't find Maester Mika anywhere!

Rikku: Too bad. So Sad... Hey, how about you doing us a favor? We need everyone in Spira to sing the Hymn of the Fayth nice and loud later on when we give the signal.

Shelinda: Uh, this isn't one of those lame Hands Across America-type fund-raising deals is it?

Rikku: No. Just tell everyone in the city that, when they see a giant ship in the sky and hear it start to play some choral-y music, to join in. Okay?

Shelinda: Oh yes! I'll be sure to tell everyone! And I'm sure they won't all laugh at me in response!

Tidus: I wouldn't worry about that. (They'll all be TOO SCARED of you to laugh at you.)

Cid: So now it's finally time for the BIG SHOWDOWN with Sin! Yee-HAW! Woo doggies!

Wakka: Wait. Before we begin, I'd like to redeem myself a little by apologizing for all those racist, anti-Al-Bhedian comments I made earlier.

Cid: Aw, don't worry about it. I'm not mad at you. Hell, I'd expect that kind of insensitivity from a jock-brained, Yevonite chunkhead like yourself..

Wakka: Cid........ you SUC--

Tidus: Stifle it, Wakka! Let's just go ahead and finish this game already.

Cid: YEEEEEEEE-HAAAAAA--

Lulu: WAIT! shouldn't we fortify ourselves by going on pointless sidequests, collecting more Aeons and playing impossible-to-win minigames in an attempt to power up our ultimate superweapons (which we still have yet to find?)

Cid and Tidus: *sigh*................Fine.

SEVERAL HOURS LATER...

Tidus: Well, WE made out alright. I don't think the same can be said of the people playing this game, though...
