The Purity of Love and Friendship:
Prologue:
In the little town of Besaid, a young blonde haired girl was sitting down by a nearby tree pondering over a lot of things. "Why did Auron and Tidus have to go away?" "It's left everyone all flustered and depressed, especially Yunie and I." The young girl looked up towards the nighttime sky starring at all the stars, when all of sudden a shooting star went by. So the young blonde haired girl made a wish.
After she made her wish she looked down towards the ground, and thought, "Now that you're gone…gone Sir Auron, I don't really know who have interest in anymore. You were always so cruel and uncaring to me sometimes, but there were some times that I thought that you might have had some sort of interest in me, didn't you, despite our age difference. Although I've always cared about you, whether you cared about me or not, Sir Auron," thought Rikku as she began to cry.
Rikku wiped the tears from her eyes, as she looked downward. She thought, "You were the only one that didn't seem to mind, who I really was, whereas Wakka always showed that he didn't really like us Al Bhed, because we don't believe in the teachings of Yevon." "Why does this have to be so hard for me, Auron…isn't there a way to make it all little easier for me?"
Meanwhile inside of Wakka's hut, Lulu asked, "Wakka, are you going to stare at her all night?" "Hmm…did you say something, Lu," stated Wakka as he glanced over at Lulu. "I asked you if you are going to stare at her all night," repeated Lulu. "Who says I'm staring at her?" "Hmm…let me see, you've been staring out that window for almost four hours," mentioned Lulu. "Huh…I guess I've been staring at her haven't I," answered Wakka as he went back to staring out the window again.
"Wakka, why are you staring at her," questioned Lulu. "I feel sorry for her and Yuna," answered Wakka. "You mean because of Tidus," asked Lulu. "Well not just Tidus." "Then who, Wakka?" "Sir Auron…" answered Wakka. "But Sir Auron, was already dead, Wakka, because he was an unsent," stated Lulu. "Yeah, I know he was, but I really think that's what getting to her, Lu." "What do you mean," questioned Lulu. "Well I think she really misses him." "We all miss him, Wakka." "No, Lu, not like Rikku does."
"Well I think your pretty torn apart over their losses too, aren't you," stated Lulu. "I loved Tidus like he way my own brudda, ya know," he replied. Lulu asked, "Wakka, why don't you go talk to Rikku?" "I guess I could, but I think it's best to just leave her alone," stated Wakka. "Wakka, in all the years that I've know ya, I don't think I've ever heard you say something like that, especially since you disliked that fact that she's an Al Bhed," replied Lulu as she stared at Wakka's charming face.
"What, why ya staring at me like that, Lu," questioned Wakka. "Oh…sorry about that, Wakka," she answered as she quickly looked away. "Lu, is there something that you're hiding from me?" "What do you think I'm hiding from you," she replied. "Come on, Lu, tell me what it is," stated Wakka as he walked towards her. "Wakka, please don't come any closer," mentioned Lulu. "Why, don't you want me to." "Wakka, do you…"
After a brief period of silence between them, Wakka asked, "Do I what, Lu?" "It's nothing, really…" "Lu, I know you too well, to know that you're lying about it being nothing, when there's really something you wanted to tell, wasn't there," explained Wakka. "Wakka, the truth is that I'm afraid to tell you what it is," stated Lulu. "Stop being so afraid, Lu." "Why are you making such a big deal of this, Wakka?" "Because Lu, I care about you too much, to just ignore this," mentioned Wakka.
Wakka continued walking towards her, and when he got to her he put his arms around her. Lulu said, "Wakka…" "It's okay, Lu, you don't have to tell me what it is right now," stated Wakka. "But Wakka, didn't you want to know what it was, because you…" Wakka pressed a finger against Lu's lip to silence her, and mentioned, "If you're not ready to tell me now, then just tell what it is when you're ready to." She rested on Wakka's shoulder and replied, "Okay."
In the meantime down at the dock, Yuna was sitting on the edge of the pier staring up at the nighttime sky, praying and hoping that maybe one day, just one day he may return. Yuna continue to stare up at the stars, when she could hear heavy footsteps coming up from her, she knew that it was Kimahri coming to get her for bed. Kimahri mentioned, "Kimahri worried about Yuna. Kimahri know Yuna miss Tidus and Sir Auron." "I'm alright Kimahri, but I guess it is a little too late to be here out by myself isn't it," replied Yuna as the Ronso guardian picked her up and carried her back up to her hut.
