Danaya's POV:
Everyone gathered around Wakka in the infirmary, even Iyana. I had told her to set coordinates to Besaid, where we would pick up Lulu. Everyone was mildly injured, but the pain lessened with our Potions. "So, we'll be picking up Mom and bringing her to Home?" Vidina questioned me. I nodded as I crossed my arms, scratches all over and cuts on my legs.
"What's the plan?" Sargent asked me, seemingly clueless to what we were going to do. I saw that he had taken off his cape. Before replying, I looked around at everybody and noticed some of their clothes were torn. Analise had changed her camo pants into a new pair and left her shirt as it is. Her stomach had a few scratches here and there, and the same goes for Iyana. Iyana's outfit was not much different, except her leggings had some rips, to which she enjoyed the new look. Her hair was messy, but she was currently fixing it back into a side ponytail. Xanxus was surprisingly in good shape, his bare chest free of any cuts or scratches. His boots were all scratched up, while his pants remained okay.
I replied, "We're meeting up with everyone at Home. We'll bring Wakka there and he can get some professional help. I'll explain my vision there." Tears started to form. "We'll try to have Wakka wake up, but the best thing to do is make sure his condition is stable." I sighed and turned away from the others, walking away to the bathroom. I went in and locked the door behind me. I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I had taken off my skirt and left my black shorts on. My black tube top shirt stayed perfectly on, but my arm sleeves were loosened from the fighting. I tightened them up and placed my hands on the sink. My head bowed down and I closed my eyes, the vision and pain coming to my head again. I let out a small groan as the headache came back.
I opened my eyes and looked to see my reflection again, but I gasped at what I was looking at. Shiva's beady black eyes were glaring at me, her sharp teeth snarling and making a hand gesture for me to follow her. I shook my head and glared at the mirror. I heard the voice again. That voice that was at the lake at Macalania. "Danaya…" it whispered. I shook my head; everything was happening too fast. The visions, this voice and the force, the aeons… I started to blink rapidly, looking everywhere and hyperventilating.
"Danaya? You okay in there?" I heard Iyana ask as she knocked on the bathroom door. I didn't reply because I was too caught up in everything. "Danaya?" She heard no response from me. "Guys! Help me bust this door!" Iyana yelled to the others as I heard her kick the door.
"Move." I heard Xanxus and Sargent both say. I didn't care what they were doing at the moment; I was having a panic attack. I started to slowly go down the floor and backed myself up against the wall. I heard the door bust open and everyone ran inside, all of their eyes going to me on the floor.
Analise cautiously whispered, "Danaya?" I started to shake my head rapidly and put myself into a fetal position. "Danaya! Danaya!" Analise called out as she hugged me tightly, trying to calm me down.
"What's happening to her?" Xanxus asked with fear. Vidina took me into his arms and started to carry me out of the bathroom and up to the beds.
"She had a panic attack." Vidina explained as he laid me down on my bed. He put the covers over me and closed my eyes. "Go to sleep, ya? Just rest. Everything will be fine." Analise was close to me as she started to mumble an old song we used to sing together as kids.
"Flowers brightly growing, pyreflies gently flowing, this is our home. Don't be down, little one and let your mind roam…" I started to fall into a deep sleep and eventually, my mind became blank.
My eyes fluttered open and my body shot up. I rubbed my eyes and then stretched, "Aaah~ That was a good sleep." I looked around and saw nobody there. "Guys?" I called out. Nobody answered, so I fixed my hair and then went downstairs. When I got downstairs, I made my way over to the infirmary. Vidina was resting his head on Wakka's bed, dozing off while holding his dad's hand. I bit back a giggle, not wanting to disturb him. I quietly walked out and decided to go up to the deck. Before I left, I put back on my skirt and smoothed out all the wrinkles. When I got up there, I felt the gentle breeze of the wind. The airship's surface was sleek and smooth as I walked on it. I sat down on the deck of the airship and took a deep breath.
"DANAYA, HI! YOU'RE AWAKE. I SEE YOU UP ON THE DECK." Sargent yelled through the intercom. I shrieked, caught by surprise from the sudden announcement. I could hear everybody's laughter from the intercom and I sighed, suddenly laughing from my own actions. I somehow ended up lying down on the deck with a big smile on my face. *They sure know how to cheer me up* I sprang up from my position and walked back to the Bridge. When I entered, I saw everybody chatting amongst themselves, with Iyana in her seat as pilot.
"Hey, you okay now?"Analise asked me. I nodded and smiled at her hair color; she changed it to light green.
"I'm good. Woke up to Vidina snoring." I joked around as I sat on a seat next to the Comm-sphere network. "Iyana! How much longer 'till we're at Home?" I questioned as I started to play around with my arm sleeves.
Iyana answered, "Oh, I'd say about three more hours. Hopefully Wakka can last." Xanxus walked over to me.
"Your head doesn't hurt much from this vision unlike the others, does it?" Xanxus inquired. I shook my head.
"It kinda does." I brushed my bangs away from my right eye. "There's just too many things happening." Iyana stood up after pressing some buttons, probably to put the ship on auto-pilot, and walked over to me.
Iyana gestured to the door, "Naya. Let's go, you and me to the deck. We haven't had bonding time in a while." I stood up with a smile and followed my cousin. Iyana turned back to the others and stared at Sargent as she talked, "And NOBODY touches the controls. Sargent." Sargent and Iyana glared at each other and Analise and I giggled. Iyana pulled me away from the others and we headed up to the deck.
I suggested, "So, you and Sarge, huh?" Iyana's brown boots stopped tapping on the floor as she stared at me with wide eyes. "Don't give me that look!" I exclaimed with energy. "I know youuuu liiiiike him~"
"I do not!" Iyana denied. I shook my head with a big smile. I looked at Iyana and continued to stare at her. Iyana rolled her eyes and sighed. "All right, I like him. There. I said it, all right?" I squealed, clapping my hands. The door opened and we both got out and sat on the deck.
"Wait, can't they see us?" I asked Iyana. She shook her head.
"I turned off the cameras." Iyana replied as she placed her chin on the palms of her hands. "So… now you know I like Sargent. Are you going to somehow make us get together like Ana and Xanxus are now?"
I smirked and shook my head as I answered, "Of course not. I'll let destiny plan it all out. But of course, I just have that feeling you guys are going to end up together." Iyana laughed and lied down on the deck. She brought out her monkey wrench and tapped it against the floor to make a beat.
"Well, while we're on this topic, how about you and Vidina? You guys have been friends forever! How long are you both going to stay like this?" Iyana shouted. I gaped at her.
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh you know exactly what I am talking about, Danaya! You and Vidina! You both like each other! Just make a move already!" Iyana pointed out. I laughed and stared at her weirdly. "Oh, no no no. Don't give me that look. Come on! Analise and I have been watching you guys for years!"
"Unbelievable! Come on, Yana! Get a grip. Viddie doesn't think of me that way." I exclaimed as I looked down at the ground.
"No, Danaya. You're the one that needs to get a grip. He likes- no, he LOVES you. Have you seen the way he looks at you each day? Do something about it, all right? I'll do something about my love life when you do something about yours. You're fifteen. It may not be love to you yet, but I think Vidina knows what he wants, and it's you." Iyana said with a sigh as she abruptly stood up and walked back inside, her boots clacking on the ground. I stared after her and seriously considered what she said. *Really? Vidina…loves me?* I shook my head. *No Danaya, even if that's true, you can't think about this now. You have to save your parents. You can't think about romance like the others.*
I sighed as I stood up and walked back inside the airship. As I stepped forward, I let out a yell as the airship jutted forward slightly. I tumbled all the way to the edge of the airship. Just as I was thrown off the edge, somebody grabbed my left hand. I was dangling in the air, being supported only by the person holding onto me. "Dannie! Hold on, ya?" I heard none other than Vidina yell out. My eyes widened and I looked up, seeing Vidina trying to pull me up. I helped him, bringing my right hand into his and pulling myself up as well. We were finally able to pull myself up all the way and I stayed there, lying down beside a sitting Vidina.
"You okay, ya? Iyana just told me to check up on you and I found you hanging on for your life." I started to cough. *Oh. Yevon. Iyana* I groaned and lied down sideways, facing Vidina. He turned to me and smiled in a goofy way. I laughed and shook my head as I lightly shoved him.
"How's Wakka?" I asked. "Is he awake yet?" I looked up and Vidina shook his head. I got up with a small sigh and hugged Vidina tightly. "He'll be okay. Don't worry."
I could feel Vidina's face go in the crook of my neck. "Thank you, Dannie." He mumbled. His breath tickled my skin and I giggled as I patted his back. We just stayed in that position, hugging one another. "Iyana is probably watching us hug each other with everyone else. I have a plan, just follow my lead, ya?" Vidina whispered in my ear. I gasped as Vidina pinned me against the deck.
"V-Vidina! W-what are you doing? Hey, don't touch me there!" I shouted as he started to touch my thigh. Vidina winked at me and I widened my eyes in realization. *Ohhhh…I see.* "Ouch, Vidina! That hurts, don't do that please!" I exclaimed as I bit my lip, trying to contain my laughter. Vidina was covering his mouth with his hand, also trying to contain his laughter. Seconds later, we heard a bunch of footsteps
"VIDINA! GET YOUR FUCKING HANDS…off…her…" Analise was interrupted with Vidina and I erupting into a fit of laughter. Everyone was by all means confused.
"W-wha?" Iyana stuttered as she tilted her head.
Vidina managed to say, "W-we hahaha we were pranking y-you guys!" Sargent started to laugh with us and so did Iyana, but Analise and Xanxus stayed in their position, giving us a stare.
"Not funny. You guys are such children." Analise mumbled with a sigh. I stood up and hugged her.
"Oh, lighten up!" I exclaimed as I pulled her over to everyone sitting on the deck. "Is the airship on autopilot, Iyana?" Iyana nodded as she started to whistle innocently when I glared at her. "I know that was your plan." Everyone stared at me as I started speaking Al Bhed.
Iyana laughed, "I don't know what you're talking about." She gave me a slight push, and I gave her a slight push too. "Okay, okay it was my plan."
"What are you guys talking about?" Xanxus asked in a suspicious way. I shook my head and chuckled.
"You wouldn't want to know." I replied as we all positioned ourselves in a circle.
Analise looked at me and smiled, "Danaya, sing a song." I looked at her surprised. "Come on! It'll lighten up the mood." I laughed as everybody tried to encourage me. *Random much…huh…let's see…* I tried thinking of a song to sing.
"Okay…" I answered. (She's going to sing "The Way You Look At Me" by Christian Bautista if you want to listen to it) "No one ever saw me like you do. All the things that I could add up to. I never knew just what a smile was worth, but your eyes say everything without a single word. 'Cause there's something in the way you look at me; it's as if my heart knows you're the missing piece. You make me believe that there's nothing in this world that I can't be. I never know what you see, but there's something in the way you look at me…" When I finished singing softly, everybody clapped and cheered. I looked up and stuck my tongue out. "I'm going to go back inside. Xanxus?" I called out. Xanxus looked at me. "Can you cook please? I'm starving!" I exclaimed while patting my stomach. Everybody laughed as Xanxus chuckled and got up.
"Come on, hungry girl, I'll make us some stew." Xanxus explained. I cheered and ran inside, being the first one to sit on a stool. The others followed suit and we just all sat down, silently watching Xanxus pour the ingredients into a pot and stir them. "Danaya, go get the bowls and utensils." Xanxus ordered me.
I replied, "Yes, sir!" with a mock salute as I went inside the kitchen where he was and grabbed all the stuff. I set down a bowl in front of everybody, as well as a spoon and glass of water. As Xanxus finished cooking his wonderful stew, he poured servings into all our bowls.
"Will there be enough for seconds?" Vidina and Sargent asked. Xanxus rolled his eyes and nodded as he sat down next to Analise. "Whoa, THIS IS AWESOME!" Vidina and Sargent shouted in unison.
Iyana remarked, "It's always awesome. Even if you guys were to eat a Wasp, it would still taste good to you." Analise and I laughed. Everybody seemed to have a good night as we enjoyed our meal, but somehow, I still couldn't push the thought away that my parents might not be living anymore.
