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

"I would say so." You said as you had been decided to tell her a fake name. Yet, you trust Vaan completely or never, perhaps?

Vaan starts think something weird about you…or was it just himself because he never remember your name for long time? He shrugs his shoulders as he does not care about your name, real or fake either. He asked you if you would like to join with them to meet their friends they were been together. You start to think a lot of things in a second or two and next second, you accepted his offer for some reasons.

You and them are starting to walk back on the way to the Sandsea instead see Migelo how is he doing. While on the way, you took a quick view on your left as there is a little boy in dirty clothes that look like he live no home, sits on the crate as watching across the other side he is at. You nodded tiny and once at that boy. Some kind of connection, have you? Vaan or Penelo either can't tell about yourself and that boy on the crate because you are walking behind them.

In the Sandsea, you are meeting their friends as Filo and Kytes on the same table. They are smiling at you like they don't care if they forget about you or does not forget about you either, all you did is just giving them your fake name until only the time will tell you to start give them your real name…or never.

"Nice to meet you." Kytes said as he offers you a handshake and you accepted the offer to shake his hand back with your hand. You start to make up something in your mind with them, some questions you suggest.

"So, how long had you two been with Vaan?" You asked to either Filo or Kytes.

"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. You knew that must been not trusted with Vaan because he never comes to you from two years ago.

"Y-yeah… I was suggesting to see you when Penelo and I came back to here but all I thought was about to get a new airship. My first airship was fallen off the cliff by the earthquake that came from the ruins we explored."

"Ah I see…" You starts understand why he won't see you to talk you for a year after he first left Rabanastre with the sky pirates you never know about because he didn't tell you about it, to start his journey to become the sky pirate.

Suddenly, the guards just come in the Sandsea bar with the uncommon sound of the opening door. All people in the Sandsea bar included you start stare at them as wondering what they have business to come here. The leader of guards walks toward the clerk of this bar and show the wanted poster.

"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 have been in Rabanastre the entire time.

All you just did is just watching Vaan been seized and took away by the guards while you hold his friends back. Thinking about it in your mind. You move your head toward to Penelo's eyes to look at her how sad she is. You have no choice but to tell them about the two years they have been missed.

"Yes, we do have a new king 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. Why did he want to assassin our new king we waited for?"

"But he was never been there to assassin the king in that day!" Penelo defended against you from Vaan. "He was already with us all the times. Besides, if he were not together with us, he still won't kill anybody but only judges who try to destroy us by threaten us to protect us."

When you hear and listens her words, you start think why Vaan have been acted like a hero since the unknown reasons you are thinking… but interfered by Filo as she starts talk something to make a plan to rescue Vaan.

"Maybe we sneak through the room where he was assassin at? We could find some clues there? The evidences that he is an innocent?" 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?
