Author's Chat Section- Hiya everyone! I couldn't believe myself that I updated so quickly. I guess I was too bored, but oh well… I just wanted to thank Komorli for giving out my first review on this story, and Komorli if you are reading this I really appreciate your kind review. You Rock! Anyways, this chapter just has to deal of the other places she goes through in order to reach Bevelle. So next chapter will take place in Macalania, meanwhile this takes place in the Thunder Plains. Sorry, about it, nothing much happens here but I promise it gets interesting later on.

The Ever So Freakin Annoying Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN FINAL FANTASY X-2, SQUARE ENIX DOES. (Gasps for breath.) I wish I did though…

Chapter 2- The Search On Love

Leblanc kept on walking all the way towards the front door. All her guards were in the basement trying to wipe out the rest of the wandering fiends left in there, since the last time the Gullwings took care of it, but now it seems more and more fiends keep on multiplying, it was getting quite out of hand. So she ordered for Ormi and Logos to go in there too, just in case the others needed some help with the devastating fiends. With that taken care of, Leblanc thought this would be the perfect chance to escape the grasp of maintaining the Syndicate, and let loose to try and find her love. Nooj.

Now let's see… Maybe Noojie is in Bevelle? Or maybe in Luca? Come on Leblanc where would they call Nooj for help? Oh forget this I'll just ask that assistant of his. Now where could she be? Oh wait she's in Bevelle. Ohhhh… I'm going to have to walk all the way there. Where the Dumb Dullwings' Airship when you need it? Well I'm going to find you, no matter what, walking or no walking.

"Hey Boss!"

Once Leblanc heard Logos's voice she cringed. Then immediately stopped her fast pace and turned around to face him.

Ohhhhhh… What do he need now? How come he always has to call on me whenever I'm going to do something important? OOOOOO! It makes me so mad!

She balled up her fists. "What is it Logos?" She asked him in an angry tone of voice.

"Boss, we might need your help in destroying some of the monsters down in the basement. Umm…. Boss where are you going?" He already knew he had asked a question he wasn't supposed to ask and was preparing for the screaming to come as he put his hand on his head.

She calmed down a bit and let go of her hands. Then sighed. "Look Logos, I'm going out for a while. I don't know when I might come back. But I do know that you guys can handle those fiends by yourselves, without any of my help." With that said Leblanc opened the front door continued walking out, not looking back on Logos.

Logos witnessed her exiting act with astonishment; he was quite surprised on how Leblanc responded. Never had she responded in such a low-toned and kind way, like she had just done now. She would usually scream at him telling him to either go back to work, or to leave her alone. But he quickly knew that something was bothering her. Something having to deal with Nooj.

Boss… Wonder what happened to Nooj now. Sure, she probably could handle herself pretty well, but I wonder when she'll back? It isn't like her to go out alone without any help or equipment. Hope she'll be okay. Maybe I should help her? No, she'll tell me to leave her alone. I'll just help her another way…

He walked back to the basement without saying a single word.

Leblanc walked out of Guadosalam, and was now in the Thunder Plains. She looked out the vast land of rocks. Never had she liked the thunder plains, probably because of its endless thunderstorms and frightful sounds, but once she found out about the newly installed rod towers she knew she could just walk to Macalania very easily without getting struck by lightning.

Along the way she noticed that there were many Al Bhed men working on the towers just to placing the finishing touches on the towers, and they all began to talk to each other as they saw Leblanc walking through the Thunder Plains.

(A/N: Look at the bottom of the page for translations.)

"Ech'd dryd Leblanc dra maytan uv dra cohtelyda eh Kiytucymys?" An Al Bhed man asked his friend.

"Oac, E drehg cra ec. Rss... Fuhtan fryd cra'c tuehk rana eh Drihtan Bmyehc zicd fymgehk ynuiht?" He responded.

"Rao, ech'd cra eh muja fedr dryd Nooj Kio dra saojh uv dra Ouidr Maykia?" The man asked.

The man's friend scratched his head. "Oayr, E drehg cra ec. Famm... yd maycd dryd'c fryd Gippal dumt sa. Ra ymcu dumt dryd Nooj drehgc dryd cra ec …" The leader of the group instantly cut him off.

"Cdub cmylgehk uvv, yht kad pylg du fung uh druca dufanc." He yelled at him.

Then they went back to work, without saying another word.

Leblanc now began to wonder what they were talking about, she heard that they mentioned her, Gippal, and Nooj's name, but she couldn't understand the rest. She just shrugged. Leblanc really didn't seem to care what they were taking about her. All that she had on her mind was Nooj. She noticed from afar that there was a small Travel Agency in the central area of the Thunder Plains.

Well, maybe I could buy some items in that travel agency over there. I'm going to be passing through Macalania so better have some fresh potions just in case I run into some fiends.

She walked in the agency and bought some potions, but before she was about to exit the door the saleslady asked her something.

"Miss… Are you Leblanc leader of the Guadosalam Syndicate?"

"Yes I am. Why do you ask?"

"Well… a man named Logos told us to give you this." She handed Leblanc a pink heart shaped and she took it confused.

Leblanc was quite surprised. She didn't think she needed all of this since she just left with nothing, expecting to find Nooj pretty easily, but once she thought about it deeply she realized she really did needed all of this, since the road ahead of her would be quite long. Inside the bag were some X-potions, Antidotes, Eye Drops, Holy Water, Hi Potions, some clothes and her Love Fan, which she really did need for the long trip ahead. She smiled.

How did Logos know? I guess he knows me all too well. And how did he come by here so fast? Oh well better not think about that must get ready.

"Thanks…" Leblanc said quietly just enough only the saleslady could hear.

The saleslady winked at her as Leblanc left the Travel Agency.

Outside the agency Leblanc carried her heavy bag on her back and continued walking. She hadn't been here much only when she though there was a sphere here and for Yuna's second concert. All she thought about the Thunder Plains was that it was noisy and boring. It had no pretty trees or a flowing lake or river like the Moonflow. It only had endless rough rocks and small puddles in which she kept on stepping in constantly. Now she really began to dislike the Thunder Plains.

Stupid puddles. Dumb rocks. How could anyone like this bust up place? Next time I should use some sort of speed transportation; it does sure beat walking and hurting my poor feet.

"Ouch!!!" She stepped on another sharp rock.

Leblanc now officially hated the Thunder Plains. But all those painful experiences came to a halting end, when she realized she was about to arrive at the entrance of the forest of Macalania.

Oh thank heaven. Finally I arrived in Macalania. So long dumb thunder plains. And hello my Noojie-Woojie!

There was still a long road to go, and she was ready for it…

Author's Notes: Okay I know the Al Bhed men had a conversation in Al Bhed, but since they're Al Bhed I couldn't really make them speak English. Sorry about that… Well I'm gonna translate it now, for you.

Ech'd dryd Leblanc dra maytan uv dra cohtelyda eh Kiytucymys: Isn't that Leblanc the leader of the syndicate in Guadosalam?

Oac, E drehg cra ec. Rss... Fuhtan fryd cra'c tuehk rana eh Drihtan Bmyehc zicd fymgehk ynuiht: Yes, I think she is. Hmm... Wonder what she's doing here in Thunder Plains just walking around?

Rao, ech'd cra eh muja fedr dryd Nooj Kio dra saojh uv dra Ouidr Maykia: Hey, isn't she in love with that Nooj Guy the meyvn of the Youth League?

Oayr, E drehg cra ec. Famm... yd maycd dryd'c fryd Gippal dumt sa. Ra ymcu dumt dryd Nooj drehgc dryd cra ec: Yeah, I think she is. Well... at least that's what Gippal told me. He also told that Nooj thinks that she is…

Cdub cmylgehk uvv, yht kad pylg du fung uh druca dufanc: Stop slacking off, and get back to work on those towers
