2nd Memory: Positive

[ TL;DR: You're a young kid watching your first blitzball game. ]

You're so excited!!

You're at a blitzball game, where your DAD'S going to be playing, and everything is so loud! It makes you feel overwhelmed, even a little scared, but it doesn't match to how excited you are. Your mommy's arms are around you as you sit on her lap, desperately waiting for the blitzball to start happening!

'Mommy,' you call to her above your head, daring to look away and at the view of her from her chin. 'Where's the blitzball? Where's the water?'

This is where daddy's game is going to be played, but there's a big hole where the blitz pool's supposed to be! You know there's going to be a game soon, but how? Where? Where's daddy going to come from?

Your mommy replies, but you only hear her say 'honey', and you try asking again, but everyone is so loud around you. You huff, becoming impatient. All you want to see is your dad play and beat the other team, 'cause he's your dad, and--!

And the lights go out, a silence washing over everyone. You too, but you don't recover as quickly as everyone else does. They're starting to cheer, and you hear people going, 'Abes! Abes! Abes! Abes!' as a bunch of lights start to turn on in the bottom centre.

They crawl up and the chanting grows louder, and they come to the middle, and you see- you see people, on the middle ring! The teams have come out, the blitzball teams have come out!!! You start squinting for your daddy, but it's so hard to see them!

'Look!' But your mommy nudges you, points to where screens are showing over the big scoreboard. The TV is everyone, and you can see your daddy from afar, but then you see his face!

"Dad!" You call out between surprise and a desire to have him hear you, to be the loudest. His face continues to smirk on the big screen a few seconds longer, until the cameras pan out of the way. There's a crackling, and you see something moving on the screen but you don't know what. So you look in the middle, and there-- there's crackling?! Blue and white lights crackling, and you don't know what's going on, what's with that light?

You yell, startled when it suddenly explodes, throwing your arms in front of your eyes. Ow! It still hurts when you bring them back down, but you want to look - is dad okay? What happened to dad?!

But you see there the thing that had been missing before: the blitzball pool! And all the different teams are jumping in from the ledges, swimming into position, and a loud voice is announcing the game as starting soon!

And finally, finally, you're going to see your dad play! You're going to cheer on for him, and you're going to see him win!

The whistle for the game start rings, and the blitzball in the centre flies upward, and the two teams reach out--!
