Hey guys!

Is anyone a really fast reader who wouldn't mind doing me a favor?

Thanks!

Hey, that's a great idea!


[Oh, wait...]

But how're we gonna find him?

[scriptrix]

Well... he said something about being your eternal rival, right? And you beat him at a chocobo race?

[free_spirited_wind]

Yup! I'm pretty good on a chocobo.

[A boast maybe, but an honest one. Bartz is probably one of the most skilled chocobo riders in Crystallis.]

And we've fought a whole bunch of times before that.

[scriptrix]

So why don't we lure him out with a chocobo racing competition? We can put posters up, and they'll have your name all over them in big letters advertising you as the returning champion. And if that's not enough, we can put up a rare sword or something as the grand prize. The file says he's a collector, right?

[free_spirited_wind]

That sounds like fun! I bet he'd love a rematch.

[He and Boko jr. will be an unstoppable team!!]

And yeah, he really likes swords. He left one behind actually. By accident I think. I still have it.

[scriptrix]

All right, so that's our plan, then!

[free_spirited_wind]

[Hmm, on the one hand it sure sounds interesting. On the other, it'll probably be a lot of work too. But why not?]

Sure! What do we do first?

[scriptrix]

Well, first we need to get permission to hold a competition like this in the first place. I guess we ask Cid about that.

[free_spirited_wind]

He's kind of a jerk, isn't he?

[At least, that's what Bartz has been hearing about him.]

Do you think he'll go for it?

[scriptrix]

As long as he doesn't have to do anything himself and we don't get in his way, he'll probably tell us to do whatever we want.

[free_spirited_wind]

Good point! We can do all this ourselves, no problem!


Man, I can't wait to see who's gonna race with me.

[scriptrix]

Wouldn't the returning champion usually just have the one race with whoever the winner of the regular competition is?

[free_spirited_wind]

Aw, really? And I wanted to race with everybody..

[scriptrix]

Well, we can probably figure something out. It's not like it's a real competition anyway.

[free_spirited_wind]

Oh yeah, that's right. But man, I really hope this works. It'll be fun to see Gilgamesh again.

[scriptrix]

What... exactly is your relationship with him, anyway?

[They don't seem to think about each other in the same way at all.]

[free_spirited_wind]

We're friends. And rivals too, I guess.

[Obviously.

Of course Gilgamesh miiight not agree with that assessment of their relationship.]

[scriptrix]

...Are you sure about that? Most of the stuff in here just looks like he wants to kill you.
