"Yunie! Paine! Look how cute the chocobo is!" Rikku ran up to the big bird that was stationed in front of Rin's Travel Agency. Yuna and Paine were right behind her.

Yuna was going on a day trip and managed to find Paine and bring her along. Rikku coming along was a given. And Rikku loved the Mi'ihen Highroad when the weather was nice.

Rin came out of the travel agency at the moment Rikku was admiring the chocobo. "That's one of our new ones. But she doesn't seem to want to let anyone ride upon her."

Rikku looked confused. "But she acts fine around me." And it was true. The chocobo was even curling up close to Rikku, making her giggle.

"This is the calmest I've ever seen her. With anyone."

"Well… can I have her? You can think of it as a late birthday present. I just turned 18, you know…"

Rin hesitated. "I don't know… She can be kind of wild…"

"All the more reason to give it to her." Paine replied in her usual monotone voice.

Rikku gave a puppy dog face. "Pwease, Uncle Rin?"

Rin sighed. "Fine, but it stays under my supervision and care. Understood? And I promise that no one will ride her accept you."

Rikku jumped for joy and hugged Rin. "Thank you so much!" She climbed on the chocobo, half expecting to be thrown off, like she had seen someone else a couple of minutes before she ran up. Bit it stayed calm and let her climb on its back.

"Can she go fast, Rin?" Rikku asked.

"As fast as they come."

Rikku's smile grew wider. She always did like going fast. Yuna walked up to the chocobo and smiled. "It's a good thing. If it went too slow, Rikku would go crazy."

Yuna then turned to Rin. "Can we rent some?"

Rin nodded and walked to the attendant to get two chocobo. Rikku hummed as she sat atop the giant bird. She had always wanted a chocobo.

Rin came back with one chocobo on each side of him, and received the gil Yuna handed him.

Paine and Yuna climbed on their own chocobos and the three sped down the path, Rikku in the lead. They reached the end of the Highroad, each of the girls getting off of their chocobos.

"So what are you going to name her?" Yuna asked.

"How about… Whirlwind?"

"Oh, Rikku! It's perfect! What do you think, Paine?"

Paine shrugged. "It fits, I guess."

Rikku dug into her pocket to see if there was anything she could find to give her new pet. She ran her finger against something that was smooth to the touch. She pulled it out to see a yellow and red ribbon that matched her scarf.

"This is perfect for her, too! Now everyone'll know she's mine!" Rikku squealed, as she reached around the chocobo's neck, securing it into place with a big bow at the front. She looked adorable! Rikku then handed her to the attendant, explaining the situation with the chocobo. She blew Whirlwind a kiss and waved goodbye. Whirlwind jumped in the air, which Rikku took as a form of "See you later."

"So Yunie, what should we do now?"

"Why don't we go visit the Youth League? We haven't seen Nooj in a while."

Paine smirked. "Prepare yourself for a big surprise."

And surprised they were. Apparently, Leblanc had been through, and had added her personal touch. That Nooj saw in her, it was anyone's guess. To each his own. But thankfully, Leblanc was too busy planning her wedding to do anymore interior decorating. Nooj had officially asked her out after the defeat of Vegnagun, and two months later, they were engaged. She often came to Yuna for advice, for Yuna had been engaged for a couple months now. Tidus and Yuna were waiting for blitz season to end, and would get married about a month after it was over.

Unfortunately, Nooj and Leblanc weren't there at the time because they were out searching for locations for the wedding. The girls did have nice chat with Lucil, however. Afterward, they went on their way through Mushroom Rock Road.

By the time they were at the main road, it was about twilight. Yuna sighed. "I guess we have to stop our walk. Why don't we stay at Djose for the night? It's close and Tidus can get there if he needs to."

Rikku grew frantic. "Or, or, or! We could go back to the travel agency on the Highroad! That's even closer to where Tidus is!"

"But Rikku, by the time we get there it will be pitch black. It's better to just go to the Djose Temple." Yuna stated.

Paine put her hand on Rikku's shoulder. "Sorry, Rikku. It's decided. If it makes you feel any better I don't want to go either."

Rikku groaned as she followed the two girls to the hover driver.
