/It happened so long ago/

Rikku had been running for miles. "Stupid brother," she groaned. Her heart was beating hard in her chest and the heat of Besaid didn't help. She was incredibly happy when she reached the village. This news was urgent she had to tell Yuna or at least show Yuna.

"YUNIE!!!"

Yuna was outside emptying a box of food that she was about to cook. She jumped when she heard Rikku's voice.

"YUNIE!" Rikku shouted on the top of her lungs.

Boy, she was getting tired. She felt like she was about to collapse any second. She called out to Yuna once again. With a sigh Yuna turned around and waved at Rikku. Ever sense Tidus left Yuna had become very depressed. Rikku had tried her best to comfort her best friend. (well they were family) But Yuna wouldn't allow herself to smile. But Rikku knew this would she found something perfect for Yuna.

A smile came across Rikku's face once she reached Yuna. But she was too out of breath to even say anything.

"Yunie…I..uh…"

"Rikku maybe you should sit down." Yuna suggested to Rikku and pointed at a small chair. Rikku nodded and basically flung her body into the chair nearly breaking it. Yuna cringed at the sound the chair made after Rikku sat in it but was grateful it did not break.

"Alright Rikku what is it?" Yuna ask as she walked over to Rikku and she sat on the floor next to her.

Rikku took a deep breath but she still could speak. This was getting irritating. So, instead Rikku pulled out a small sphere from her bag.

"What's this," Yuna asked, while taking the sphere from Rikku. Yuna looked at it for a long time when she suddenly saw a man who looked a lot like Tidus. Yuna's eyes widened and once the sphere was finished she stared at Rikku in disbelief.

That was how it all started it was such a long time ago. Now the whole adventure of finding Tidus was over and once again Yuna was happy and Rikku was left alone. Well, Rikku was happy that Yuna found Tidus but she just wished she had someone too.

"Oh poo," she whispered. She was once again on Besaid, looking out into the ocean. The gracious blue ocean moved in rhythm. The tide lapped inches from Rikku's shoes. It must had been about 8 in the morning now. She awoke in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep. So, she decided to go for a walk, she didn't run into many fiends. Practically any which was very surprising to Rikku. But right now she could care less.

"Hey Rikku!"

"Hey Wakka,"

She didn't even need to turn around. Anyone could tell who Wakka was by the sound of his voice. Of course after she said his name he let out one of his old man laughs.

"What cha doin out here?"

Before Rikku could answer Wakka had his arm around her. Rikku was highly uncomfortable but Wakka was someone who you could tell anything to. But he was terrible at keep a secret. But who else could she talk to. With a sigh Rikku opened her mouth but suddenly a loud explosion came from the village.

"What the hell," Wakka gasped. Another sound fallowed but louder. It was close by.

"Wakka," Rikku gasped. Wakka was too busy freaking out to realize that Rikku's body was completely stiff and her face was in complete shock.

"W-What is it?"

Rikku's eyes were wide open. How could this happen and why? She then looked at Wakka and cleared her throat.
"Those weapons are Albed,"
