MY BEAUTIFUL LADY

No more!

It was a sunny Sunday morning in Zanarkand. Viola and a woman with long dark hair were drinking tea and talking in a huge hotel room. "Lulu, it has been 13 years and I still have not found her. I'm getting too old. Maybe she is dead…" Viola put down her cup and walked to the window.

"Lady Viola. You can't lose hope. Not now." Lulu walked to her and put her hand on Violas shoulder.

Viola sighted. "But we have looked everywhere."

"I don't think so." There was a knock on the door. "Come, we have a guest. I will look her over, as always." Viola nodded and sat down. Lulu went to open the door. Behind it was a man with blond hair and a black suit. Next to him stood a girl with long brown hair. She filed her nails.

"Oh, it's you. Welco…"

"Yeah, cut it. We are in a hurry. Where is the old lady?" He walked past Lulu and the girl fallowed him.

"She will see you soon. I will have to see the girl first." She started to examine the girl who was still filing her nails. The man took out a cigarette and set it on fire with a lighter. Lulu started to cough. "Excuse me. Can you put that out, please? We don't smoke in here!" The man didn't noticed, he was looking around. "Quite a place you have. It must be expensive…"

Lulu looked him with disgust and turned to the girl. "Well, you match the description. How old are you?"

The girl looked Lulu like she was a big bug. "I only talk to the old lady. Take me to her. Now!"

Lulu turned around and led them to the next room, where Viola was. The girls' attitude changed in a second. She ran to Viola and hugged her.

"Grandmother, I missed you…" she said with a sweet voice when Viola pushed her away.

"Manners, manners!" Viola looked at the girl. "You do look like her, but…"

"What is it, madam?" Lulu asked her.

"I don't know. It's her voice and her attitude…"

"I have changed. It is me, Yuna. Can't you see?" The girl stepped closer.

"No…" Viola turned around.

The girl started to scream. "Shuyin, do something!"

Shuyin blew out a puff of smoke. "So this means I don't get the money?"

"Of course not. What did you expect? That I will fall for any actor who comes in here? I am not so stupid that I will not recognize my own grand daughter." Viola was screaming. "Get out! Get out of here!"

The girl was practically crying when she hit Shuyin. "You bastard, you promised that I will be rich!"

"Shut up, Lenne. I didn't promise you anything." He started to walk away.

"Don't you walk away from me! Look what I had to wear for you, these are rugs!" Lenne looked her clothes with disgust. She wore a white blouse and a pink fluffy skirt.

Shyuin turned around and took Lennes hand. "Shut up, you bitch!" He dragged her out.

"I'm sorry, lady. I was so sure about this one…" Lulu put her head down.

"Don't worry. Even I got fooled by her. This one was to close, I don't think I can do this anymore. Lulu, I will not see anyone starting today. No more! I am tired."

Lulu startled. "You give up? Just like that? But…"

"I have made my decision. I have to stop. We will probably never find her…" Viola walked to the window. Lulu stood there for a second and then left the room.

Viola shook her head and closed her eyes. "Please be alive, my little Yuna…"

It was about midnight and all the children were sleeping. Except for one girl. She lied down in her bed moonlight shining in her by colored eyes. She didn't move when the watchman came in. He walked around making sure that everyone were sleeping. When the door closed behind him the girl got out of bed fully dressed as fast as she could. She bent and took something under her bed. When she started to put on her boots another girl next to her woke up. Her blond hair were all messy.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up. "Yuna, what on Spira are you doing?"

Yuna startled. "Be quiet Rikku! I am getting out of here. I had enough of this!" She tied her boots in a hurry.

"Are you going away?" Rikku looked around to make sure that they weren't spotted.

"Yes, I am going away. No more of this!" Yuna stood up and took her bag.

Rikku got out of bed and ran to her. "Take me with you. Please, please, please…"

Yuna looked around and then Rikku. She was thinking. "Ok, but make it fast."

Rikku jumped up and ran to get her clothes.

"Hsss, do you want to wake everybody up?" She walked to Rikkus bed and put her stuff into her bag. Then she put rags under her blanket. It looked like someone was under that. Rikku did the same.

"That should keep them out till the morning." She took a chair and placed it under the window. She took the granting off it. Rikku looked like a little child with a very big present. "We are going. I can't believe it. This is so exiting!"

"Take this, we need to put it back." Yuna handed her the bars and climbed out.

Rikku looked the grille in her hands. "How did you do this?"

"For a week every night I filed it open. Last night I stole some food and some money. With that we can go to the city." Rikku started to climb out. "You stole?" Rikku stopped when half of her was still inside.

"Yes, but "Ms. Terminator" thinks that Scott did it. Don't worry. Now come on!" She dragged Rikku out of the window and placed the bars back. "Now run!" They ran trough the forest until they reached a road.

"I can't believe it. We are free, WE ARE FREE!" Rikku screamed of happiness.

"Calm down, ok." But Yuna smiled to. "I have dreamed of this since "Ms. Terminator" came there. She is a monster." They started to walk.

"So, what are you going to do?" Rikku asked.

"Well, I thought that maybe I can get a job and then go to school." Yuna looked at the sky. All the stars were shining. "Maybe I can find my parents to…"

"Oh…Well I want to be a singer. I want to be famous and popular. I think that I sing quite well." Rikku took out a small notebook. "I have written some words to. Want to look?" She handed them to Yuna. They walked as Yuna red. "You are good, this is beautiful."

"Thank you…" Rikku put the notebook away and raised her head up. "I think that we are going to be just fine!"

"I hope so…I sure hope so..."
