"Where are we going?" asked Vaan. "I don't know." Replied Balthier "Probably to my home town." "Where's that." Asked Vaan. "The imperial city of Aechades. "oh…how far is it?" Asked Vaan. "Oh pretty far." Replied Balthier. "Oh, of course" said Vaan. "I'll go back and check on Penelo." Fran said "I'm coming too." Said Vaan. So they walked to the back of the airship.
"Well she's still sleeping." Said Fran. "Yep." Vaan said disappointed and sat down beside Penelo. "FRAN!" Baltheir called from the front, "Fran, I need back up. We have bad weather!" "Ok, I'm coming. Sorry Vaan but can you make sure that Penelo doesn't go crashing into the wall?" Yeah, I was going to stay here anyway." "Ok jus-." FRAN! HURRY UP!" Baltheir yelled even louder. "I'm coming!" Fran sounded angry.
Soon, the airship was going from right to left as they were whirled around by the storm. "Vaan, is everything ok?" Fran asked from the front of the airship. "Yeah, but shes not waking up." "Give her some time. She had a traumatic time last night." "I know." Replied Vaan. The airship swayed back and forth and Penelo finally woke up. "Penelo!" Vaan yelled happily. "Penelo, are you ok. Does anything hurt?" "I'm fine. Thanks." Penelo sat up and winced in pain. "Penelo, take it easy." "I know. Do you have a potion Vaan?" "I think so. Yep." Vaan gave Penelo the potion. "Thanks." Penelo took the potion. She felt much better. Fran walked into the room. "Oh, good Penelo you're awake. Are you ok?" "Yeah." "Ok good. You guys can rest now, the storm is over." "Alright." Vaan and Penelo said. Fran walked out of the room to go help Baltheir. Vaan and penelo sat down on the seats in the front room of the airship. Penelo tried to sit down by the window, but Vaan was acting like nothing happened and playfully pushed Penelo away from the window seat. "h-hey" Penelo said Vaan laughed. And before he knew it, Penelo was on his back. "That's what you get for being caught off guard." Penelo said. Vaan suddenly caught Penelo wrist and flipped her over on the floor. Still holding her wrist, he looked deeply into her eyes. He slowly softened his grip on her wrist. They were locked into each other's gaze. "Hey, what was all that racket a minute ago?" Baltheir asked. Penelo and Vaan quickly broke their gaze and answered the question. "Oh. Uh, n-nothing." Vaan said while stuttering. "Ok. Just making sure. Fran and I almost thought you had gone crazy." Baltheir said. Vaan scratched the back of his head and blushed. Vaan hid his blush by walking to the back of the room. "I'm going to sleep." Vaan said. "Me too."Penelo said and walked to the back rooms. Penelo went to the left room, Vaan went to the right. They closed their doors and fell asleep. "Sweet dreams." Fran yelled. And the airship took off towards their next destination.
