"Today is the day!" He thought to himself. "I will finally get to express my feelings for Lady Yuna!"
Brother had been trying for the longest time to formally tell Yuna that he had a crush on her, but with all the latest hype in the sphere hunting , she had been too busy to even look at Brother, much less listen to him. Today was the perfect day! No sphere sightings, no one needed their help, and it seemed that Rikku was talking about singing karaoke on the deck that night. It would be a perfect opportunity to present... THE POEM! Brother was so excited! He would daydream about the day when he would read it. He put so much thought, so much of his heart into that simple, little, single-paged poem, and he was so proud of what he had done. He could tell the whole world about his love! Well, except for Rikku. She's just laugh her head off and embarrass him in front of everyone. He thought about kicking her off the ship or getting Barkeep to help keep her busy scrubbing floors, or something like that. It didn't matter because the main point was that NO ONE, or absolutely NOTHING would ruin his confession to Yuna. It would be perfect if after reciting the poem to her, she would just run into his arms and confess her secret love for him in return and kiss him sweetly as they stand under the stars...
But his thoughts were interrupted by his annoying sister, Rikku, and a very loud, "Oh no!"
He groaned and went to to the cabin to see what was the matter.
Up above the bar, on the beds, Yuna was moaning and Rikku and Paine were hovering over her, pulling the covers over her body. Brother rushed up the stairs to see if he could help Yuna and hopefully impress her with his tender, loving care.
"Yuna" He shouted as he ran up the stairs. "Yuna! What happened? Who hurt you!"
"The vendor at that food stand in Luca last night." Paine said.
"I promise you, on all my honor as an Al Bhed, I will repay him and hurt him like he did you! I will punish him! I will scar him! I will..."
"Calm down silly!" Rikku interrupted. "It's just food poisoning."
"POISON?!" Brother shouted. He looked at Yuna's soft cheeks. Her pale complexion, her lovely hair. Who would ever want to poison such a beautiful angel? "This man must die..." Brother thought quietly. "First, I have to cure Yuna. I must... save her"
"Chill out, you dork!" Rikku started. "It's just a stomach..."
"I WILL save her and take revenge!" Brother yelled, and ran off to the bridge towards Shinra and began shaking him.
"Shinra! Yuna is poisoned. Tell me what I can do to save her!"
Shinra sat there and thought for a bit. "Poisoning... I believe a Hypello that is working for Tobli specializes in medical remedies that would benefit Yuna's stomach illness, but I am pretty sure that the severeness of her sickness is..."
"OH thank you Shinra! I will run to Tobli quickly. He is not far from here..." And with that, Brother dashed to the deck and ran out of the ship in the direction of the Moonflow.
Upon arriving, Tobli was busy, as always, trying to promote an Al Bhed dance company this time. Brother desperately ran up to him and lifted him off his feet. A shocked Tobli hung from his grasp crying for help. "Tobli! It's me, Brother! I need your help! Yuna was poisoned!"
"POISONED?" Tobli yelled. "Oh why would anyone want to commit such an act?"
"I'm still trying to figure that out, but right now, I have to save her! Where is your healing Hypello?"
"Healing Hypello? Oh! You must mean Geelo. Yes, he specializes in the specializing of herbal medicines. He may be the one you are looking for, but it's an extremely, oh, extremely unfortunate circumstance. You see, he is currently with O'aka in Macalania trying to expand their ever-growing enterprise."
Brother immediately dropped Tobli. "I will find this Geelo and obtain a potion that will cure my beloved Yuna. Never fear, my precious gem. Brother will save you, on my honor as firstborn son of Cid, leader of the Al Bhed!" and with that, he immediately jumped on the airship to fly to Macalania. As the airship took off in a whirlwind of flying dust, Tobli, as he was picking himself up from his fall, came in contact with a large, white sheet of paper, square in the face.
"Ugh! Filthy litterers!" he said as he drew the paper away from his face to look at it. It was in poem format written in Al Bhed. Now, Tobli's knowledge of the language was limited, but he decided to read through to the words that he could recognize. At the top, it had Yuna's name. It could only be a "dear Yuna" or something of the sort. Tobli read on,
"I love...kill...you...knife...tonight..."
He stood in shock. "Oh my! Oh my heavens! Oh no! I must tell Lady Yuna. These may be her last days..."
