"Hmm… that's nice name you have!" Penelo smiles cutely.

"Yeah, I guess…" You said as you had been decided to tell her your real name. Perhaps you have some private reasons to tell her your real name even if Vaan didn't talk you in two years without know yourself that they already were here in two years ago instead three? Perhaps a secret connection with her? Who knows?

"Hey, want meet our friends we flied with? Come on!" Vaan asked as he pulled you to follow with him and her as well.

"Okay then."

"Cool name you have!" Filo said to you as you three just arrived in the Sandsea bar. "I am Filo, the best surfboarder in air!"

"Kytes." He spoke to you his name for a quick introduction. "Nice to meet with you." He offered you a handshake, so you accepted to shake his hand anyway.

"Thank you. So… how long had you two been with Vaan?" You seems like you want to know about their history little about Vaan for some reasons.

"We were dragged with him in two years ago to have some awesome adventures we ever had!" Filo replied excited how much fun she and her friends had been in entire adventure she was with Vaan as she can see why he became a sky pirate for his dream.

"Wait… you said two years ago? Vaan, you were already here in two years ago?" You starts feel like you can't believe Vaan was already been in Rabanastre in two years ago instead three.

"Uh… I can't find you somewhere. I was suggesting finding you at that time but all I did was just thinking all about to find an airship after the one I purchased were wrecked by the ruins… An earthquake after got the treasure." Vaan told you a quick answer how did it happen before you get a chance to ask him.

"Ah… So you four had coming here all the years by…footing?" You asked confused as Vaan didn't tell you he got another airship yet.

"Oh no, we got a new one. We fly to right here before Filo use her board hit on my head by her starvation."

"Yeah, you are very lucky for this time because I was about to in a minute later if we were not able to spot here!" Filo gave a glare at him as he start chuckled nervously.

"I see… If you don't mind, might I join with you?" You begin to offer him to hire you to be a crew of his.

"The more, the merrier!" Penelo replied quickly with her smile before he does. He looks at her a little shocked face of his.

"Okay, thank you so much, Penelo." You said with a smile.

Suddenly, what a strange welcome for the Sandsea… some guards just came in with uncommon sound of opening the door. The entire people begin to stare at those guards; it includes you to stare them. They are looking some person around like the suspect is in The Sandsea or something…

"Might I help you, guard?" The clerk asked nervously as he hopes to not been under arrested in any reason, like some guards sometimes did that without any good reasons to do that then.

"We are searching a young man that looks like teenager. With nearly white on his blonde hair… Have you seen him?" The leader of the guard asked to respond the clerk.

"Me?" Vaan whispered to Penelo but she have no idea if it were him or not by shaking her head softly with her shrugging shoulders.

"That man?" The clerk pointed upward above him as Vaan on the second floor. The leader looks up at him and signaled the guards to seize him quickly. That seems like his answer has been arrived to Vaan. He is seized by the guards behind. His friends included you are not seized, how strange…? They might feel like want to help Vaan but you stopped them to keep cool their actions down for some reasons as you whisper to them to trust you to keep them down, just in any case… just because if they don't trust you to hear, they would be seized as well. So all they have to do is to watch Vaan been seized and took away from them included you.

"Hey! Let me go! What happened, guard?" Vaan tried to struggle to free him but no good enough while he yelled at the leader as he looks at the leader.

"Vaan, are you?"

"Yeah, I am Vaan."

"Then you are under arrested for assassin the new king of Rabanastre." The leader signaled the guards who seized and held Vaan to take him out in the prison as soon as he just finished his words to speak him. The crowds grow of fear to hear that this man, Vaan, assassin their new king in Rabanastre…

Penelo and others start to worry about Vaan but you continue to hold them back innocently… She wishes to help Vaan but she starts to understand why you stopped her and others because if she does, she would cause all of crews bring into danger from the guards.

"What?" Vaan yelled surprised. He took a quick look at his friends and you, to see if they are okay, as well as yourself. He continues to struggle against the guards while he is taking away. He would thank you in later for keep his friends out of this situation the guards just made on him.

"We have… I mean had a new king here since we left in two years ago?" Kytes asked confusedly to you just because you are the only crew who was stayed in Rabanastre for three years.

"Yes, we had. He is our new king of Rabanastre in almost a month ago." You spoke calmly as you sit on Vaan's seat, to hide his friends' true personally as you take his eaten meal. He signaled her to sit down immediately before the others notice her true identity, so she starts to sit down before some people looks at her and she act like to eat normally and listen what you tell to them the story. "He is the king we wanted and waited for. I highly doubt that Vaan have done that to assassin the king which why I am feeling like I am still calm."

"But how can the guards tell the assassin is Vaan if he were already with us all the times?" Filo asked to challenge the question to them and yourself.

"It shall be a traitor somewhere around." Penelo jumped too early to say that for start the acts.

"Maybe but it's just too early to say like that… Because there might have another way to know it was Vaan by have a note to leave or something…" You said to her.

"Oh… That's right…" She starts to calm herself down to not jump too fast like that. Her face look so sad but she must not reveal that face in front of the people who heard about this happen, to keep her be safe and try to discover what is really happening.

"We really need a plan to figure out who is behind this." Kytes said.

They all, included you, are thinking together as what to do with this the plan to be made to find out who is really behind this as believe that Vaan is an innocent. Filo starts to share them included you her plan from her mind.

"Maybe we sneak through the room where he was assassin at? We could find some clues there?" Filo asked.

"Or we free Vaan out before find out who is really behind this?" Penelo said as she is still worried over about him.

"Oh! What about the way what Vaan sneaked inside the castle from three last years ago? The waterway?" Kytes asked out of his mind as he helped Vaan to crack the lock of a gate that lead to the waterway to lead the castle as a secret entrance.

"Hmm…" You have yet to think of the ideas because that sounds almost like they all have all the ideas how to do things to do, so all you need to think is which plan does sounds really good to you…but one little mistake to agree will take big trouble to handle, so what plan is good for you to accept?
