Baralai sat in
his blue director's chair alongside Steiner and Beatrix who sat in green
lawn chairs.
BARALAI: And
now for this week's castoffs from The Amazing Final Fantasy Race, here are
Steiner and Beatrix.
BEATRIX:
Pleasure to be here.
BARALAI: It's
really not. But let's get right into it because I have so many questions
for you! You two did SO well this leg and came in last, while other teams
didn't do as well and survived. What happened?
STEINER: We
were not even close to the group after going in the wrong direction for so
long. We checked in over five hours after those two ladies.
BARALAI: What
made you go the wrong way for so long? Lani and Amarant were able to turn
around rather quickly.
STEINER: Those
two bounty hunters tricked us into thinking the clue was only moments away
and we had to continue onward and-
BEATRIX: By
that he means that he was constantly arguing that they must have
obtained the clue and want us to think that they did not obtain the
clue. I often wanted to turn around, but he insisted the clue was coming
up soon. Finally after a long debate with himself over "but they know
that I know that they know that I know that I'm incompetent" he
finally decided to turn around.
BARALAI:
That's pretty harsh to refer to your boyfriend as incompetent.
STEINER: She
does not mean that. She is only making a direct quote of me.
BARALAI: I
see. Well, incompetence aside, what was wrong with those maps you
obtained?
BEATRIX: After
a bit of a discussion with the Amazing Staff as well as the people of
Marrymore, it turned out the maps were printed backwards because of a
transparency issue. The text was the correct direction because it was on a
different transparency.
BARALAI: And
they still lined up with the city locations?
BEATRIX: It
certainly appeared that way. Of course, if I would have paid more
attention to a location called Yo'ster Island, I would have noticed a city
in the middle of the ocean according to the map.
BARALAI:
That's too bad. I was rooting for you two.
STEINER: Is
that so?
BARALAI: Not
really, but it does suck.
STEINER:
Indeed.
BARALAI: You
two certainly had your rough road this race. The driving involved in New
York, the argument you two had in the Kingdom Hearts Galaxy, the roadblock
in Marrymore, the Zeal encounter with the Nu-
STEINER: Oh ho
I'll venture that we are out of time and cannot remind my Beatrix-dear of
that dreadful creature.
BARALAI: We
actually have a couple minutes left...
NOOJ (O.S.):
Ha ha ha. I like that armored man. He wants this show to end as much as I
do!
BARALAI: Oh
shush. We're almost done.
NOOJ (O.S.):
No, we're done. I turned the cameras off.
BARALAI: Oh...
Well, thank you two for coming.
BEATRIX: It
was a pleasure.
STEINER:
Indeed.
BEATRIX: Oh.
And just so you know: we're rooting for Yuna and Rikku.
STEINER: Both
for different reasons, but yes.
BEATRIX:
That's enough talking, mister. Let's go home.
STEINER: Yes,
ma'am!
