A slow yawn made itself known in the open fresh sky, the tropical trees gingerly rustling in the wind. Although Besaid had certainly grown over the many years, it still had its forests. Sure they were still populated with monsters, but they were nice to have around none the less. Alex had enjoyed lying in the grass on the cliff that led to a large pool of water below. It was her favorite spot to get away from everyone and just relax. Today there were suppose to get a new striker for the Aurochs and she couldn't help but wonder who it could be. The newest couch but known face, Tidus, had decided to keep the team in the dark on who it was. It was a surprise apparently. The tall woman couldn't help but try and guess who it was, but it was quite difficult. Tidus could pretty much get any player if he asked so it was hard to guess who exactly. Whomever it was she just hoped they weren't some jackass with a large stick up their holy hole. 

Her blue eyes were closed as she continued to rest their before grumbling as she felt a light nudge to her shoulder. [color=red]"What?"[/color] She barked irritably, cracking her right eye open to see who exactly was bothering her. It was one of her teammates, the goal keeper Rid. A short black haired man about the same height as herself, skinny but toned. He wore the uniform while she herself wore her regular everyday outfit.

[color=Coral]"Geez Miss Crimson Valefor, what do you think? We are supposed to meeting with the team at the beach to greet our new striker. Couch will scold you if you don't show up and at least try and be friendly miss cranky pants. Plus remember just lying here in the open isn't a great idea? We rather not lose our star protecter now eh?"[/color] He smirked, his emerald eyes glinting in amusement.

Alex scoffed slightly. [color=red]"Ah shut up. Is it that time already? Fine, fine I'll get over there if it will make you happy. I was curious on meeting the newbie anyways."[/color] She muttered as her arms stretched out over her head while her legs stretched the other way. Soon, she rolled back then lept up, landing neatly on her feet as she gazed toward the path to the Besaid docks. [color=red]"Race ya there eh?"[/color] She smirked before jetting off, her long legs carrying her as her crimson hair whipped the air wildly.

She heard her teammate yell about unfairness, but she didn't slow her pace. By now, Luca was probably packed with new arrivals. Good thing she was quite tall, it will make spotting everyone a little easier. She just hoped Tidus won't be too upset about her being late. Ah well.

[h2]Besaid Docks[/h2]

When she arrived there, she found her fellow teammates easily, waving a little as she moved through the crowd, her hands gingerly pushing others aside to make room for her. [color=red]"Hey are they here yet?"[/color]She asked before watching her couch grin innocently, which meant that they were. Arching a curious eyebrow, the tall woman glanced over the crowd to see some squealing fan girls fond over a guy about as tall as her shoulder with striking white hair and red eyes. Features that were easily distinguished to one possible person. [color=red]"You got him on our team Couch? I should of known... Well better go save him."[/color] She mused before pushing her way through the crowd.

But before she could get to him, suddenly she saw a ball propelled at the white haired man and the tall woman's blue eyes turned to the cause. Of course, it was Naisha. Who seemed quite angry about the whole thing and was busily yelling at both Gippal and Tidus. Alex rolled her eyes a little as she moved over to the magically inclined girl and lightly patted her on the back.

[color=Red]"Geez Nai, go a little easy on them. The can't help that their dummies."[/color] Alex smirked in amusement before moving closer to Gippal.

[color=red]"Okay people give the man some breathing room! Shoo! Outta the way you little birds!"[/color] Alex shouted loudly, her shouts always carried and sounded fierce. Making her way to new striker, she continued to shoo fans away either by yelling or glaring. Looking down at him, she smirked slightly before patting his head. 

[color=red]"Hey Little Gip! Long time no see!"[/color] Alex greeted nonchalantly yet still trying to be friendly. It had been some time since she seen Gippal, five years maybe? He used to come very often when they were kids and she remembered practicing Blitzball as well as playing swords with him.

[color=red]"Guess you know now how much you were missed in your absence. And maybe made some people pissed eh Nai?"[/color] Alex grinned a little.
