Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy. If I did, I'd be planning a IX remaster right about now.
Jealousy
I love Yunie, she's my flesh and blood. Three years ago, I had to cope with the fact that she was readily prepared to sacrifice herself – I could have lost her… forever. Even though I hated religion, I used to silently pray that she wouldn't have to die. And my prayers were answered.
So why is it, as she revealed her most recent "good news", that my heart sank and I felt my eyes start to burn? We stood on the bridge of the Celsius as she told me about her latest adventures. None of these adventures included me, but I didn't invite myself or whine to her about it. A few months ago, Nooj told me I acted too immature for my age and ever since then I've been battling myself.
"Oh, Rikku, I'm so excited I can't stand it! The tickets actually sold out! Not just for one concert, but all three!"
I scratched my neck and tried not to blink. "Yunie, that's wonderful."
"Isn't it exciting?"
Brother perked up from his seat, put the controls on autopilot, and hopped over to us, arms flailing. "Oooh, Yuna dance! I want to see!"
She laughed and I pretended to. Her pocket started buzzing and she pulled out Shinra's latest invention. Tidus' face appeared on the screen and his voice was heard, albeit fuzzy from a poor connection.
"Yuna, guess what? Tobli came to Besaid today. He said he has a proposal for you. Is there a way you can come home today?"
She grinned from ear to ear and squealed. "See you in a couple hours."
She has it all. Fame, a singing career, a man who truly loves her, a beautiful face. I should always be happy for her and support her.
So why am I so bitter?
