Onigiri Samirai here! Welcome to the final chapter of my story...and thanks for sticking with it this far! Yay for you -claps-... anyway... I made this chappie different, it is in 3rd person instead of the normal 1st person that I used in the previous chapters.

This chappie also has a little more of an adult conversation during the truth or dare segment.

Thank you again, and enjoy the final chappie of this story! )


Tidus' and my wedding was amazing…everyone of our friends came. Guess who caught the bouquet when I threw it… Rikku. She and Gippal got married a little after Tidus and I did. Paine and Baralai on the other hand are still an "Item" and haven't taken the plunge yet. It's been almost 4 years since that day and since I had little Toshiro. The little joy (or terror as Rikku likes to call him) of Tidus and I. He's got his fathers shaggy, dirty blonde hair, my bi-colored eyes and Tidus' face structure. He and Vidina are good friends. I think that will benefit him -

"Mommy! Mommy! I did something to daddy!" Was yelled from outside.

Yuna set aside her book she was writing in and walked outside. She found Tidus, face down on the ground.

"What did you do to daddy?" Yuna asked as she knelt down to her son, ruffling his mop-like hair.

The boy grinned, "Daddy was teaching me to play blitzball and I kinda…umm…." The boy paused and looked at the ground.

Tidus groaned.

Yuna looked over.

"Honey?" Yuna leaned over him, "What did he do to you?"

"You should have seen it, ya!"

"Wakka, what happened?"

He grinned, "Your son has quite the aim…"

"Oh no…you mean he…." She glanced at her husband.

Wakka nodded.

She put her hand over her mouth to stifle her laughing.

The boy looked up, "Mommy… what's so funny?"

"This… isn't…. very….. funny….Yuna…." Tidus said through gritted teeth.

"Sorry…" She said, holding back laughter, "I'll get you some ice…" She said as she giggled a little more.

Wakka helped Tidus to a chair while Yuna got some ice.

"I think your son could be the next best player in the Aurochs, ya."

"Can it Wakka…"

"He does have good aim… hitting you from so far away…"

"Wakka…"

Yuna walked out of the house with a bagful of ice, "Here honey."

"Thanks"

"How exactly did Toshiro hit you?"

"He kicked the blitzball and nailed me in the balls…" Tidus winced as he placed the bag of ice where the blitzball made contact.

Rikku walked over.

"Hey Yunie. What happened to him?" She said, pointing at Tidus, "You been working him too hard?" She finished, grinning.

"What? No! No, it's not like that!" Yuna said, waving her arms and blushing, "Toshiro kind of kicked a blitzball there…"

The Al Bhed started laughing.

"It's not that funny…" Tidus responded, wincing once again.

Rikku snorted, "Yes it is!"

"Rikku…"

"Yeah, Yunie?"

"Have you heard anything from Paine?"

The thief stood still and thought for a second, "Now that you mention it…I think I got a sphere from her yesterday… let me go see."

Rikku ran off.

"Mommy?"

Yuna looked over, "Mmm, what is it 'Shiro?"

"Is daddy gonna be okay?"

She glanced over at Tidus and laughed, "He's going to be fine…"

"I know…Why don't you go over and ask Lu if Vidina can come out?" Wakka asked.

"Okay!" The little boy ran off.

Rikku returned a few minuetes later, empty handed.

"Well?"

The thief stopped for a second, "What?"

"The sphere?"

"Damn, I knew I forgot something…" Rikku said as she laughed.

Yuna just stared.

"Psych! Here it is…"

"I'll get you for that…" Yuna said as she playfully shoved Rikku.

The thief just laughed and played the sphere.

"Hey Rikku, Yuna, Everyone, I'm having a great time traveling around Spira with Baralai."

Baralai appeared beside her, "Hey!"

"What do you want…?" Paine asked as she rolled her eyes.

"Mmmmm nothing….." He replied with a grin on his face.

Paine looked at him with her trademark blank stare, "I know that tone…..what is it?"

He leaned over and whispered something in her ear. After hearing what he said, she turned a bright shade of crimson.

"B-Baralai!"

"What? I don't hear you saying 'No'…."

"So."

He kissed her.

"Baralai!"

"What?"

"Not while I'm recording!"

"What? You don't want your friends to see how I well treat you?" He put on a mock-sad face.

"No, I just don't want them to see that…"

"What? This."

He kissed her again.

"Baralai!"

He grinned, "I suppose I should run while I can still move, so bye!"

He waved to the sphere and ran off.

"I'll get you for this later…" Paine said trying to be mad, but a smile creeping across her lips.

She turned back to the sphere.

"I should be coming back Tuesday, and Rikku….don't get any ideas about me and Baralai from what he did…See ya." She waved and turned away from the sphere.

The Sphere ended.

"Looks like Dr. P is having some fun while on the road…" The Al Bhed thief said grinning mischievously.

"I'm sure that both of them have their moments… but I don't think that Paine would admit it…" Yuna said as she smiled.

"Some of us have more than others… -cough- Yuna -cough-"

"Rikku…." The former High Summoner glared at her, "If you forgot…Tidus and I never had a honeymoon…unlike yours at Luca…" Yuna paused, grinning a little, "And I think that you had your share of fun there…seeing as how when you came back you were hanging all over him…more than usual…"

"All right you two… I don't really need to hear this…" Wakka said.

The cousins turned around and looked back at Tidus and Wakka.

"When did you get that sphere?" Yuna asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Yesterday morning…"

"That was Monday… so, that means Paine should be coming back today!"

As if on cue, Paine strolled into the village, Baralai in tow.

"Dr. P!" Rikku said as she ran over and jumped on Paine, knocking her over in the process.

"Get. Off. Of. Me."

"I doubt you said that to Baralai…" The over-caffeinated Al Bhed whispered in Paine's ear.

The leather clad warrior blushed slightly.

"Ha! See! I was right!" Rikku said as she jumped around excitedly, pointing her finger at Paine.

"Paine? Showing emotion? This is odd…" Yuna said as she strolled over to her.

"Oh shut it…" Paine said rolling her eyes, still blushing a little.

"You're still blushing…" Yuna said as she giggled a little.

"Whatever…"

Yuna and Rikku looked at each other, grinning.

"Rikku, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Girls night out?"

Yuna nodded.

"'Girls night out'? What's that supposed to mean?" Paine asked.

"You'll find out later tonight…"

Everyone went their separate ways.

Later that night Yuna and Rikku dragged Paine to Rikku's house.

"Gippal."

"Yeah?"

"Out." She said as she pointed at the door.

"Why baby?"

"Just go and bug Baralai or Tidus…someone..."

Gippal walked out the door, but not before taking Rikku in his arms and kissing her.

Yuna and Paine stared.

"What? We're married now, remember?" She pointed at her ring, "Besides… It's not as bad as what Tidus and Yuna do…"

"Why the hell do you always mention us?" Yuna said as she sighed.

"Because it's funny watching your face turn bright red." Rikku said grinning, "But enough of that…"

She walked over to the fridge and pulled out a six-pack of beer, "Time to get girls night started!"

The three sphere hunters sat down on the floor in a circle.

"I say we play 'Truth or Dare'…who's with me?" Rikku said as she held up her beer can.

"Sure..." Paine said unenthusiastically.

"Alright, I go first…" Rikku said, eying the two people around her, "Yuna! Truth or Dare?"

She sighed, "Truth."

Rikku grinned, "When was the last time you and Tidus were alone?"

"What do you mean…?" Yuna asked Rikku as she eyed her.

"You know exactly what I mean."

Rikku grinned; Yuna just stared at her with a blank face.

"Fine, Two weeks okay."

"It's been that long?!"

"Yeah…" Yuna sighed.

"You need to get that kid away from you…"

"What about you?" Yuna asked, grinning.

Rikku blushed slightly, "Ummm…."

"Tell us…" Yuna said as she leaned forward.

"Why should I?"

"I told you… now you tell me…"

"You're probably lying…" Rikku said grinning.

Yuna threw a pillow off the couch at her, she dodged it and smirked.

"You really want to know?"

"Yeah."

"Two nights ago…"

"Lucky…." Yuna said as she pouted slightly.

The cousins then looked at Paine.

"What?"

"Don't play dumb with us… we saw the sphere."

"Oh…You want an answer to that question…don't you?"

They nodded in unison.

Paine sighed, "Last night."

"Whoa!" The two jumped back a bit. Then Rikku leaned in.

"What Rikku?"

"Don't hold back info… tell us…"

"Tell you what?"

"Well, how was it for starters?"

Paine smiled.

"She's showing emotion again…the Paine we knew before is gone!" Rikku said as she jumped up, "It's a sign of the end of Spira!!"

"Rikku, if you want to know then shut up and sit your ass on the floor." Paine said as she leaned back and supported herself on her elbows.

Yuna grabbed Rikku's legs and pulled her down, "Well?"

Paine smiled.

"Stop smiling and tell us!" Rikku said as she leaned forward.

"Amazing."

"Huh?" The thief had a quizzical look on her face.

"It was amazing."

Yuna and Rikku looked at each other.

"What? It's not like you haven't done it before…"

And with that, 'Girls night out' kept getting interesting. Especially since Tidus, Gippal and Baralai were standing outside the door.

"Dude! I can't believe you and Paine did it!" Gippal said as he shook the New Yevon Praetor's shoulder.

The Praetor just stared.

"Awww…. Don't be like that…Tell me…."

"I will not talk about that."

Gippal made a sad face, "Oh come on…. Please…."

"No."

Gippal got on his knees.

"Get up…"

"Not until you tell me."

Tidus just stood there and watched.

"Fine."

Gippal leaped up, "Well? Spill it."

"It took place after that sphere was filmed."

Gippal put his arm around Baralai's shoulder, "'Bout damn time if you ask me."

Yuna walked outside.

Tidus whistled a cat call and said, "Hey sexy."

Yuna looked over and smiled, "I should have known you would all be out here."

He walked over to her, "How was girl's night?"

She pursed her lips, "Interesting…"

He wrapped his arms around her and rested his chin on the top of her head.

"It's a beautiful night…" Yuna said as she looked at the moon.

"I know."

Yuna leaned back into him and placed her hands on top of his. Tidus moved his head onto her shoulder.

"Is Toshiro asleep?"

"Out like a light."

She smiled.

"Look at us…"

"What do you mean?" Tidus asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"I have everything I ever wanted... I have a man to love me….a child to love….and friends I wouldn't trade for all of Spira."

"Same here….but I wouldn't be to sure on the whole 'love' thing…."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Yuna said as she placed her hands on her hips, pursing her lips.

"You hit pretty hard when your angry…I wouldn't call that 'love'…"

She smiled and pushed him playfully; He grinned and heaved her up on his shoulder.

"What the hell are you doing?" She asked as he picked her up.

"Nothing…"

She pursed her lips playfully and sweetly said, "Tidus…"

He grinned and copied her tone, "Yuna…"

She sighed, "You like doing this to me, don't you?"

He nodded.

"You can put me down at any time…."

"I know…." He paused and made a thinking face, "But right now….nope."

"Aw, come on… please…"

Paine and Rikku walked outside and stood beside Baralai and Gippal, watching the scene before them unfold.

Rikku leaned in towards Paine, "Hey Dr. P… how much you wanna bet that tonight Yuna'll get lucky?"

"I couldn't care less…"

"Now it's back to the 'cold' Paine huh?" Rikku said with a blank face.

"I'm not saying anything."

The Al Bhed grinned, "Suuuuuure…"

Paine's crimson eyes glared at Rikku, the thief shuddered.

Tidus stole the flip flops that Yuna was wearing and set her down.

"Hey!"

He started to run.

"Tidus! Get back here!"

She charged after him.

Eventually Tidus stopped, out of breath.

Hunched over he said, "Heh….you….still…can't…catch…me…."

"Oh….yeah…?" She said, eyeing him.

He grinned.

She jumped, tackling him to the ground.

"What do you say now, tough guy?"

"I say… if you want your sandals back…. You kiss me."

"And if I don't?" She asked as she eyed him.

"Then I get to do this…"

He pushed her off to the side and pinned her down.

"Now what are you going to do?" She said as she blew a strand of hair out of her face, a slight smile creeping across it.

"What you've been wanting to do."

"And what would that be?"

"You know exactly what."

"Ohh, so you're allowing me to make the first move?" She said smiling, closing the distance between their lips.

Unknown to them, a few shadows were watching them.

"See, I told you they would…" Rikku whispered to Paine.

"Yeah, so?" She whispered back.

"This is why you dragged us down here Rikku?" A slightly pissed off Lulu asked.

"Well so-rry…" Rikku said as she rolled her eyes.

"I'm going back….I don't need to see this." Lulu said as she snuck back up the hill leading away from the beach.

"I'm going too."

"Wait! Don't leave me here!" Rikku said as she scrambled up the hill after them.

Even with the shadows gone, the former High Summoner and her Guardian continued in….. almost complete silence.
