"There was more, right?"
"Yeah, of course there was! Your not the only one with a story, you know?" Tidus wasn't the only one trying to prolong their time here, either. Rikku would help too, though she'd omit the more private parts of her story from the general telling. She pulled out a little journal she'd had most of her life, and kept with her even during the pilgrimage.
"What is that, Rikku?" Yuna asked. Ha, caught her! Now, to drag thisout as long as possible and give Tidus time to think up a plan...
"Its my diary. Pops gave it to me when I was little." Yuna leaned over Rikku's shoulder to look at the small book. It was orange and yellow, with little pink hearts drawn over the cover, surrounding some bold words in Al Bhed.
"What does it say?" Yuna asked curiously, no doubt equally glad for the distraction. She'd come closer to tears during Tidus's story than she'd ever admit, and thinking about the future made her feel worse.
Rikku's face colored slightly. She hadn't forgotten how Brother had made fun of her for the title of her diary. "Diary of an Al Bhed Princess..." she whispered quietly.
"What?" Yuna asked. She said it again but Yuna shook her head, not hearing her. Still too quietly.
"Diary of an Al Bhed Princess..." she said a little louder, but not loud enough for Yuna to hear. "Diary of an Al Bhed Princess!" She finally hissed, but this time it was loud enough. Loud enough for what, you ask? Why, for the whole group to hear. Auron snorted, Tidus and Wakka snickered, and Yuna did that "I'm too nice to laugh at stupid people" smile. Lulu stuck up for her though.
"Whats so funny about it? She is a princess of her people. Let her tell her story." Everyone quieted at that, Wakka and Tidus giving her apologetic nods and Auron merely glancing at her. Not by way of apology, no no. Auron was wondering if she'd written down EVERYTHING in that diary, including things about, ahem, himself. Luckily, Rikku didn't read straight from her diary when she started her story. Auron didn't think he could handle hearing a teenagers writing. Too many hearts and usage of the word 'like'.
"Well, lets see. I think I'll start where Tidus's story started. After he fell in the water at Baaj Temple, I..."
AN: No, this story will not be written in first person. No, this story will not be written like a journal. Yes, this story will be a little AU, whenever I can't find a suitable place to stick something. Yes, this story will jump around from past to present and back again. The only way it won't jump is past X and into X-2. This story will mostly be centered around Rikku, and through her point of view, but from time to time it will latch onto Auron. Why? 'Cause this is an Aurikku, thats why. Thats it, please review, thanks! And since this is somewhat in a drabble format, feel free to request an event/theme if you like.
