"Come on, Auron!" Rikku shouted, grabbing the older guardians hand. "This is our one day off! Have fun."

"Rikku, I don't want to." She turned around and pouted.

"Pleeeeeease, Auron? I'll even let you be on top tonight!" He considered it. That was a good offer.

"All right." Auron sighed, and let the insanely hyper Al-Bhed teen drag him toward the water. She just HAD to pick a bikini, didn't she?

Of course she did, this was Rikku. Auron himself had chosen a normal pair of black swim trunks with a towel around his neck. He really hated being exposed to the air like this, but….at least he wouldn't burn. He had put on plenty of sunscreen. "AURON!!!" A shout broke him from his thought, Rikku's nose mere inches away from his. "Wake up, Sir Legendary Guardainess! Everyone's waiting!" Looking over her shoulder, Auron saw that, indeed, the others were waiting. Kimahri, standing dtoic behind Yuna as ever, Wakka in his blitz uniform, Tidus in blue swim trunks, Yuna in a plain white tankini, and Lulu in a black one-piece, hair tied back in a ponytail, a large straw hat on her head, a towel in one arm, a book in her hand, and a black sash around her waist. Wakka, it seemed, was holding a beach umbrella for her. Trust the black mage to not join them.

"I'm coming Rikku, slow down." He chuckled. "It's not like I'll drop dead on the spot, pardon the pun." Rikku, bouncing around, dragged him on.

"It could happen! LET'S GO!!!" As they ran off, Lulu shook her head.

"Rikku is so happy right now."

"Yeah." Yuna quietly replied. "I wonder what she'll be like when he's gone…?" It was no big secret that the two were in a relationship.

"COME OOOOON, AURON!!!" Rikku's voice echoed back around the bend of the path to the beach. "It's VACATION Auron! Ever gone on one?"

"No." Was the ever-stoic warrior's reply.
