Note: This story is based on true story … My story but I changed a few events to fit into the story. I chose Paine because I felt both of us has the same character.

Have you ever felt that your destiny is to be alone? You don't belong anywhere... Just wherever the wind takes you? I tried to fight these thoughts for months but I think it is my destiny and I have to accept it...

Chapter One : Resistance

It's been a year after that great adventure we had, me, Rikku and Yuna. Of course Yuna stayed in Besaid with her boyfriend Tidus, I don't know if they got married or not… I really don't care, I'm still a sphere hunter in case you're wondering. Rikku and I still hunt spheres but without Yuna …

As usuall , like every morning the Gullwings has to listen to Brother and his heroic part on the Farplane ( like he did a thing ! ) Paine listened to him , bored and wished that he would shut up. Suddenly the alert rang loudly , Buddy ran to his place and said :

" Treasure sphere waves " Rikku laughed and :

" Thanks Buddy , you saved our lives from the morning news " Brother growled and glared at Rikku . Paine walked to Buddy and said :

" Don't worry we'll listen to it tomorrow " Then she continued :

" So .. Where to ? "

" Well the waves are pretty weak but I'm sure there is a sphere somewhere …" Buddy mumbled and began to click on the monitor in front of him , then said :

" Aha ! Now I'm sure about it …. It's inside Djosé Temple " Rikku thought for a while , then said :

" Then Gippal knows about it right ? So all we have to do is just ask Gippal to give it to us and if he don't …….. "

Paine smiled and said :

" We'll threaten him by making him ask you out " Everybody laughed except Rikku who folded her arms .

The ship flew over Spira until it reached Djosé. Rikku and Paine walked to the door of Djosé Temple when suddenly Gippal opened the door quickly and bumped to Rikku .

" Ouch … " Gippal said and held his forehead. Rikku did the same and said :

" Why don't you watch before you walk ? And why are you in such hurry ? "

" None of your business " Gippal said and looked at Rikku's angry face and said :

" Man … You changed " Paine interrupted and said :

" Talk to her later , we are here because of the sphere " Gippal looked at her and said :

" Dr. P how you been ? "

" Don't change the subject Gippal , do you have it or not ? " Paine said . Gippal thought for a while then said :

" Yeah .. I have it " He showed them the sphere , Rikku tried to take it but Gippal swiped it from her.

" What ? " Rikku asked

" I don't want to give you it …. Unless .." Gippal wondered. Rikku and Paine looked at each other and said at the same time :

" What ? " Gippal looked at Rikku from down to up and said :

" Unless you say that I rule and you drool " Paine laughed at them and said :

" Come on Rikku say it , we want the sphere " Rikku thought for a while and said :

" Easy …. Ahem …. I RULE YOU DROOL " Gippal looked at her and said :

" Reverse it "

" No way ! " Rikku screamed

" Come on .. I don't have all day , if you want the sphere " Gippal said then continued :

" Okay fine I'll give it to Leblanc "

" NO .. Don't give it to her " Rikku shouted

" I'm all ears " Gippal said. Paine smiled and looked at Rikku who was frustrated.

" Okay … Fine you win "

" You rule I drool " Rikku whispered. Gippal laughed at her and handed the sphere to Paine. Rikku pushed Gippal who started to tease her.

Paine to the Brother's ship and thought for a while:

It's nice to see someone to care about you .. But what will you do if that wasn't there ?

As night fell down Paine stayed at the cabin drinking wine , thinking about her life :

Why am I alone all the time ? Why didn't I let anyone to love me or even care about me ?

Suddenly appeared next her and she looked at him . He looked in his early twenties and his hair was long and dark blue . He looked at her a smile , Paine wondered :

" Who are you ? "

Well this is the end of this chapter … Hope you liked it . Don't try to guess about the mysterious guy cuz he doesn't exist in the game .
