Yuna slowly walked down the hall of the hotel in the centre of the Calm Lands. A mere three days after spending the night at Macalania Lake. Yuna softly bit her finger as she turned and opened one of the doors. The room held Tidus, the sandy-haired boy she cared so dearly for.

"Oh, I'm sorry," Yuna gasped. Tidus looked up and smiled kindly.

"That's alright, I was just cleaning my old man's sword," he said, gesturing to the shimmering blue sword that lay on the cot.

"You know," Yuna murmured, approaching the boy, "I think you really care about him."

Tidus snorted. "Don't make me laugh. I despise him." Tidus stared darkly at the sword. "He practically killed my mother."

"But…after finding that Jecht Sphere, I figured that you would have…well, if I were you, I would have changed my view, y'know?" Yuna clasped her hands in front of her and gently swayed to the sides. "I always admired Jecht…"

"Yeah. I know. You didn't live in his shadow. You don't know how it feels to-"

"You… you're not the only one who lived in the shadow of a parent," Yuna pleaded, cutting Tidus short. "You forget that my father is the High Summoner." Yuna gazed wearily at her staff, which sat in the corner. "Everyone was cheering, but…" her voice trailed off. She slowly walked across the room, to her staff, her boots clunking against the floor. Picking up her staff, Yuna said, "We're going to Kimahri's home soon."

"Yup. He doesn't seem too happy about it. He said something about those brutes at Luca," Tidus said, dampening Yuna's spirit.

"Remember when…I said that I learned to smile even when I'm sad? You should try it sometime," Yuna murmured.

Tidus sat on the small cot. He remembered their moronic laughing, just after becoming one of Yuna's guardians. Just whistle. I'll come running. I promise…

"Yunie!" Rikku cried, running up to her. "Yunie, Auron, Kimahri, and Lulu are in a real bad situation! It's diasterific!"

Yuna blinked in shock as the young thief ran around her to get Tidus. "Rikku, wait! Go help them!"

Rikku didn't hesitate a moment to obey the Summoner's order. Yuna sharply whistled and darted towards the exit of the hotel. Outside the hotel, Lulu cast Fira in a terrible frenzy, Auron viciously attacked a helm, and Kimahri attempted to swipe at a bird. Rikku dived in and used 'mug' on a nearby ice elemental. As Yuna joined the attack, she cast 'pray' on the party. A shimmering healing light covered each of her guardians. Wakka's blitz-ball struck the bird that Kimahri was focused on. Yuna struck out at a cacutar that leapt at her. Yuna cast Cura on Lulu, who had been doubled over from wounds while trying to cast a spell.

"FLARE!" Lulu screamed over the ruckus. An amber-coloured explosion engulfed the fiends. As the smoke lessened, Yuna cast Holy on the remaining fiends.

A helm appeared from the dust as the white globes of light began their work. The helm knocked Yuna to the ground and a lupine leapt at her. A shimmering blue blade sliced through the lupine as Auron's grey blade struck the helm. Tidus pulled Yuna to her feet and dived into the mass of fiends. Yuna cast 'pray' on the party before stepping back a few paces. She glanced at the number of fire-elemental fiends.

"Shiva," Yuna muttered. The ice-woman dropped from the sky and stood in front of Yuna. "Diamond Dust!" Yuna cried. The elegant aeon obeyed, engulfing the fiends in ice. The ice shattered and Yuna's guardians leapt back. They swiftly took care of the remainder of the fiends and gathered within the gate of the hotel.

"Where'd all those fiends come from?" Rikku asked, jumping slightly.

No one said anything.

"The Cavern of the Stolen Fayth," Auron said. All eyes stared at him. "It's infested with fiends. They must have poured out from there."

Kimahri grunted and turned towards the hotel. Auron leaned near the front desk and mulled. Yuna gently pulled Tidus closer to the gate's exit.

"You came, though I made you upset," Yuna murmured.

Tidus gently touched her cheek. "I made a promise to come running. I keep my word."

Yuna smiled, satisfied. The couple walked into the hotel. Rikku slowly stalked after them. Lulu placed a gentle hand on the thief's shoulder.

"I would think that they want to be alone," Lulu murmured. "Shall you forever be a snoop?"

Rikku considered for a moment. "Hmmm…yup! I wanna know what they're going to talk about!"

Rikku charged off. Lulu slowly pursued. Rikku looked back at her. "What? I need to find my moogle before we leave," Lulu said innocently.

The mage slowly peered into the room where Yuna sat on the cot. Lulu's moogle sat next to her. Yuna looked up at the mage and Al Bhed girl and smiled. Tidus peered around the door.

"Hullo," Tidus said, smiling . "We found your moogle, Lulu."

"So I see." Lulu knelt and held out her hand. The moogle hopped off the cot and tumbled over its mage master.

"We're just getting ready to go," Yuna said, her voice as kind as always.

"Erm…Us too, right Lulu?" Rikku said, grabbing the mage's wrist and pulling her down the hall.

Yuna and Tidus were broken down into laughter.
