His arm stretched out towards her, reaching for her. His deep pools of blue beckoned her. His beautiful blond hair fell freely, framing his face. He was so far away. The brunette looked around. There was nothing but darkness. "Yuna" she heard her name flow from his wonderful lips, caressing her much as his out reached hand wished to do. She swallowed hard her bi-colored eyes meeting his once again. She started to jog, soon picking up to a full on run, but he didn't seem to get any closer to her. She forced herself into a sprint, longing for his touch once more. Slowly she got closer to him, closing the distance. Her heart leapt and a thousand butterflies fluttered in her stomach. Her lungs burned and her legs protested against moving any further. She reached out to him in a last chance effort to grab for him, but her hand fell through the air and the seemingly black floor cracked under her like glass. "TIDUS!" She screamed as he just watched her fall into endless shadows.

Yuna frantically rolled around in her bed hitting her head hard on the wall and shooting upright only to fall backwards off the bed and onto the hard metal floor with a thud. She quickly looked around trying to find out where She was before realizing she was on the air ship.

Ever since she found that sphere of him most of her once peaceful dreams had turned to nightmares. She felt the tears build up and did nothing to stop them from flowing down her cheeks. She sat there in the dark her body wracked with silent sobs.

Paine wasn't use to being around two girls so much. She noticed herself becoming a bit more.... Emotional... Yuna and Rikku were so different from her two former partners. They were slowly becoming big parts in her sealed off heart. Paine closed her eyes and placed her head against the cool metal of the ship, she usually came out here when the stars were out. With a sigh she gave a longing look to the stars before re-entering the ship. She slowly made her way to the 'room' the three girls shared. Hearing some form of struggle she ran the rest of the way, her red eyes scanned for any intruders, only to land on Yuna's body. A nightmare... She felt the wall around her heart squeezing it. She hated to see either of the two in pain. When Yuna began crying Paine couldn't hold it in any more. She kneeled in front of the older girl and wrapped her arms around her, and began to whisper meaningless soothing words.

Yuna did the best she could to try and control her sobs knowing oh too well that if she kept this up she would end up sending herself into an anxiety attack. Her head whipped around hearing the raced footsteps. The door swung open and someone stood in the doorway. Faintly she could make out her friend and partner Paine. The light came on and Yuna went blind for a couple seconds before her pupils adjusted to the newly found light. More tears ran down her cheeks as Paine kneeled infront of her. She was a bit surprised when her arms wrapped around her body and she soothingly tried to console the brunette. Yuna's head hit the girls shoulder a little harder than anticipated and more sobs erupted from her. Even though Paine's words weren't heard it felt nice to be held. Yuna was lost, unable to get the horrid dream from her mind.

After a while she took in a few deep breaths and pulled out of the ember eyed girls grasp. She looked from Paine to her shoulder. "I'm sorry" she was barely able to get out, her voice sounded horse from her dry throat. She wiped the tears from her puffy red eyes and pushed herself up to stand but her legs protested unable to support her weight and she fell back down.

Paine felt a slight thud in her shoulder when Yuna's head hit it. The sobs got harder and she freaked out. She never had to comfort someone this way before. She forced herself to continue to be as gentle as she could. When Yuna began to pull away Paine let go gently, trying to make sure that its what the other girl wanted. She flinched when she looked into her usually bright miss-matched eyes, seeing how dull they seemed. Yuna told her sorry and she couldn't help but smirk. Such a goody-goody; only she could say sorry for crying. Paine was snapped out of her thoughts by a falling Yuna. Almost by instinct she reached out and pulled the falling girl into her lap. She adjusted so that one arm was under her head and the other was behind her knees. "Don't be sorry." She whispered before standing up with Yuna in her arms. She laid the girl down and brought the covers up, tucking her in like a child. "I dont know what happened, and I wont pry or tell anyone. Just know that I'm one hell of a listener." She planted a kiss on Yuna's forehead - the way she slightly remembered being done to her, before walking to the door, shutting out the lights, and closing the makeshift door.

Instead of feeling the hard metal floor Yuna was surprised to feel Paine's arm. She had braced herself for the impact but no pain came. The other girl almost cradled her in her arms and she felt like a kid again. She heard Paine tell her not to be sorry and wiped her running nose. "But I got your shirt all wet." She said pointing to Paine's tear stained shoulder. It almost felt silly to worry about a shirt and It took some of Yuna's mind off of the nightmare. As Paine laid her down and tucked her in she remembered Lulu doing the same so many years ago. Her brow furrowed and she looked up at Paine. She looked a lot like Lulu. Yuna smiled slightly. "Thank you" She whispered as the other girl went to turn off the lights and shut the door. It wasn't 2 minutes after the door was closed that Brother came bursting through swinging a metal bat almost hitting Paine, but She ducked out of the way. "YUNA YUNA ARE YOU ALRIGHT?!?" He yelled not bothering to check on the other girls. Paine tripped him and had the lights on within seconds, the bat in her hands. Yuna burst out laughing as Brother shielded himself, the dream had become just that a dream. She didn't know why he cared for her so much he was her cousin.

Paine felt so relaxed as she stood there and looked over at her two friends bodies. This felt ... Nice... Her body soon tensed and she jumped out of he way of the stupid man swinging a bat, asking only for Yuna's safety... She wasn't jealous..... No she wasn't. With a swift kick and a flick of the wrist Brother was down on the floor and the lights were on once more. Taking the bat from their 'leader' she watched him try and curl up protectively. Hearing Yuna laugh only encouraged her next move. With a powerful swing she hit the spot next to Brother's head and smiled evilly. "Who do you think you are entering our room that way?" Without waiting for an answer she grabbed some left over rope, tied Brother's feet together and pushed him over the makeshift ledge, tying the end of the rope to the wood she turned away, leaving Brother hanging upside down. "Keep it down or Rikku will get up. You know how she is when awoken." She said in an haunting voice. Walking from the ledge she winked at Yuna shut off the lights and laid down. Now in the dark where no one would see she let a smile light up her face. It looked out of place, but it lit her face and made her seem beautiful. This... These people where her family. Her eyelids dropped and a warm darkness consumed her.

"VILG!" Yuna heard Brother yell. She made a face at the curse word she didn't have to know Al Bhed to know that word. Even though she had changed drastically some of her old ways still remained. She wasn't too fond of curse words. The brunette watched in amusement as Paine swung the bat. "No no no no" he tried to plead with the ember eyed girl. Within the minute Paine had there Al Bhed leader hung by his feet. Yuna looked over to Rikku at the mention of her little cousin. She was sleeping peacefully unaware of the ordeal that had just happend. It would take a stampede of shoopuf to wake her up but she knew Paine was right. Rikku wasn't her usual hyper self until she got her Alcyone egg and some coffee. She giggled once more. Her team had become her family. Yuna smiled at Paine's wink and lay back down, pulling the covers up to her neck and curling up into the ball she usually slept in. The lights went out and her heart dropped. The darkness unleashed the memories of her nightmare. Not wanting to bother her friends anymore she turned towards the wall and lay in the dark. As the minutes of silence dragged on Yuna could feel the exhaustion wash over her body. When finally she couldn't fight back the sleep anymore darkness washed over her. She prayed to Yevon, something she rarely did anymore,

That this dream would be better than the last.
