(aka the days Dad doesn't hog the computer -_-') A/N
"I believe a toast is in order..." Paine stood, a glass a cognac elegantly cradled in her fingers. Yuna and Rikku were sat at a long dining table, both content and gazing up at Paine. "...to the Gullwings, for the wonderful years we've spent together, and the many more to come." She had a look of triumph on her face. "To the Gullwings!" Their glasses chimed, then the scene changed, showing a battle. "Damn you!" Paine cast flametongue on the enemy, damaging it considerably. The trio smiled, believing their work was almost done. Sadly, it was not to be that way. The beast attacked the trio with poison, hitting both Yuna and Paine. "Eek! That was close..." Rikku squeaked. She turned and realized the others had been hit. "Yunie! Paine!" "Do you want us all to die? Fight! Then help us," Paine yelled harshly. "Right!" Rikku switched into her Black Knight dresssphere and cast Black Sky and put on her star pendant. Yuna moaned in pain as she tried to stand up. She was already in her Songstress dresssphere and ready to cast dirty dancing. The beast attacked, first clobbering Rikku and sending her flying, then cast doom on Paine.
"No!" Yuna fumbled around trying to do something to help. "Come in Brother! Come in!!!" Yuna yelled in exasperation. After a second or two of silence, Brothers voice could be heard. "Yes, this is Brother here. What is wrong Yuna?" "Paine...Paine had doom cast on her...what should I do?" Yuna's nerves caused her to speak hastily. "Ok, ok. So you have to prepare for her to uh...die...and then-" Yuna cut him off. "Die!? Oh great, that's motivation for you..." Brother sighed. "Let me finish. Do you have any phoenix downs left?" "If we did, do you think we'd be asking for your help?" Rikku retorted. "Crid ib! E tuh'd haat ouin cynlycs! Yuna, use the White Mage dresssphere!" "Uh! Why didn't I think of that!" She grabbed the sphere, her hand shaking. She shook so much, the sphere fell from her hand and shattered. "Brother, I uh...kinda dropped the sphere and- please tell me theres a plan C!" "Uh, plan C...plan C is uh..." Brother thought for a moment. "We're coming to get you!" 3... Flash. Paine, Gippal, Baralai and Nooj smiling by the ruins of Zanarkand. 2... Flash. Yuna singing "You fight your battles far from me..." 1... Flash. Paine comforting Yuna.
Brother was still nowhere to be seen. Paine held Yuna's arm gently. "This is so embarrassing." She coughed slightly and grabbed Rikkus arm. "I'm sorry I was so harsh to you both. I guess I needed to forget about my past and rid myself of the anger. I'm so sorry. I want you guys to have my things, the spheres, weapons...everything. But I...have a few requests." She paused, using more stamina to say what she needed to say. "Rikku..." Rikku leaned in. "...I want you to throw a party, after I die, to celebrate my passing. No questions...ok?" Rikku was shocked and confused but nodded anyway. "And Yuna...will you please perform the sending? I know you haven't in a long time and I don't mean to offend-" "Of course I will, when its your time go but we can still save you. Now is not your time." "I'm...sorry...Yuna..." Paine's erratic breathing slowed and then stopped altogether. "No!"
