Chapter 4: AfterMess

"Haha I'd have to say that was a pretty close call back there."

I could barely hear anything. I prayed to god that I wasn't deaf. Yuna gave me this strong potion to drink. It tasted like "BLEh!"

"Are you sure a pretty little girl like you should be fighting fiends? Why don't you let Gippal protect you?"

I think Gippal was in player mode. I mean, I was pretty. Not that I wasn't before. I sorta blushed.

"So what happened?" I asked everyone.

"Fiend destroyed most of the camp, but luckily everyone survived." said Yuna.

"Yeah! Thaaaanks to the Gullwings!"

"Rikku, please." Paine said quietly in her corner.

Nooj and Baralai had come to aid their friends. LeBlanc was there, playing with Nooj's arm. Ormi and Logos looked pretty sad.

"Umm...did you catch the guy on the fiend?"

"Yes we did," Gippal answered. "Want to see it?"

I watched the sphere. It looked like him, but something seemed a little off. Just like the sphere Yuna saw in the beginning of FFX-2. I didn't want to tell the people that I might know the person on the fiend who practically destroyed the Al Bhed camp.

"So I guess ya'll want to hear my story, huh? I think ya'll want things to be cleared up."

"Sure do! If you're strong enough, that is."

Nhadala sure sounded like a nice person. She wasn't mean or anything. Before I started my story, I looked at Baralai. Kinda because he was hot, but he reminded of someone. I couldn't put my finger on it. But still, I liked looking at his face. Then I started my long story. I remembered to tell everyone about my crazy age jump thing. During it, no one looked like they understood, but then Rikku spoke up.

"So you're kinda here to find your lost BOYfriend huh?"

Rikku was too hyper. I barely understood her. But when she got to the "boyfriend" part I became angry. I understood that.

"No! He's not my boyfriend! GRR!"

"Sorry..." Rikku then walked into a corner, anime style.

"Don't worry about." I said calmly.

I also began to talk about how I've seen them all in a game back on Earth. And what had happened to them too. They became REALLY confused. They began to say things I felt kinda sorry for them, because I know they were asking the question if they were real or not. Tidus and Yuna had the weirdest looks of confusion. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Umm...do you guys think you can help me find him," I broke into their silence, just for them to stop being confused. "If I go home without him then I'll surely get my ass kicked."

"Sure!" said Tidus and Yuna excitedly, forgetting their confusion. "Another job for the Gullwings!!!"

"One more thing..." I asked "Where exactly am I, and what's the deal with Vegnagun and Sin?"

Baralai and Nooj finally stepped foward and started speaking.

"Well," Baralai began, "Lady Yuna vanquished Sin and Vegnagun, saving me from Shuyin's hold. Shuyin and Lenne returned to the Farplane, which is now secure again and ready for people to remember the dead."

Then Nooj began to speak, with LeBlanc still caressing his arm.

"It has been 3 years since then. LeBlanc and I are married, Gippal's still a player, Tidus and Yuna are married and having the baby soon, and the rest of them are still single, unfortunately for Gippal. We are living out the rest of the days of the Eternal Calm. Which is forever."

"Paddan gaab ouin suidr crid umt syh."

"Bad Gippal! No nasty things, okay?"

Then Rikku began to scold Gippal. I had to laugh. It was all too funny. Everyone's attention began to linger after Nooj spoke. I think this conversation was over. I fell asleep.

*~

The next morning I woke up to find Gippal in my face, watching me sleep like a pervert. In the game he never really seemed to be the kind to be perverted, but a player, THAT he was. I smacked him with a pillow.

"Gippal you PERVERT! RAPE!"

"Ruu puo!"

"BAD GIPPAL!" Rikku screamed.

Everyone came rushing in. Except for Tidus. I think they all stayed the night. Rikku then got a transmission from Brother.

"RIKKU! Nabund du dra creb essateydamo! E haat so uvvelan!"

"*sigh* I guess we gotta go. Hey Baralai, Nooj, need a lift?" asked Yuna.

"Well we can't leave without your blonde can we?" said Paine bitterly.

I was guessing that Paine did not like Tidus. Tidus entered the room with messed up hair.

"Uhhh...Did I hear my name?"

"Lady Yuna, may I ask if I can ride on your ship? You said that you would help me."

"Oh yes, of course." she said.

I got up, got cleaned up, then said my goodbyes. I really didn't want to leave Gippal, but he decided on his own that he was coming on the ship too.

"Wow," I thought. "The whole gang's here. I can't wait to see what happens."
