The Purity of Love and Friendship:
Chapter Three: Secret Surprise Part II
In the midst of the farplane, the legendary guardian once known as Auron could hear someone calling out his name. Auron thought, "Who's calling my name?" The voice in the distance mentioned, "Auron…" Auron carefully listened to the tone of the voice, and thought, "She's calling for me…but why…I'm dead aren't I…" When all of a sudden Auron disappeared from the farplane, and reappeared somewhere in Spira.
Auron studied his surroundings and thought, "Where am I…and am I alive…" Auron wander around for a little bit taking in all the scenery, which started to seem a little familiar to him. Soon he discovered that he's been giving a second chance at life, and he soon realizes, "I'm must be in the outskirts of the little town known as Besaid." Although his thoughts drifted more towards the voice, "Was the girl calling out my name, who I think it was."
Auron wandered around, until he finally found Rikku, at least he thought that it was her sitting over by a nearby tree. So he slowly approached her and asked, "Rikku, is that you?" Rikku suddenly looked up at the sound of her name, to see who the owner of the voice was. Rikku was immediately shocked to find that the owner of the voice was…was Auron. Rikku questioned, "Is that really you, Auron." Auron nods his head yes, so she stated, "How can this be." "I'm not really sure, but it seems as if I was given a second chance at life," explained Auron, as he found himself staring at Rikku.
Rikku soon realized that Auron was staring at her, so she asked, "Why are you staring at me, Auron?" Although Rikku found herself blushing, when he stated, "I'm sorry about that, but it's just…" Auron turned his head away from her and she asked, "It's just, what?" He looked at her again and answered, "I just can't believe how much you've matured Rikku." Rikku cheeks turned a little darker shade of red, but she still got up and ran into the arms of Auron.
Immediately after she wrapped her arms around Auron, Rikku started crying. She stated, "Ever since Tidus came back, I've been so lonely." Auron wrapped his arms around her petite body and replied, "Please don't cry Rikku, because I understand how you feel." "But Auron I've missed you so much." Auron mentioned, "I've missed you, too, Rikku," as he wiped the tears from her eyes. Rikku replied, "Auron, you…" Auron whispered in her ear, "Shh…" as he continued to hold Rikku in his arms. Rikku let all the questions that she wanted to ask him go, and enjoyed the feeling of being held close to the man she loved.
In the meantime Lulu was frantically searching all around Wakka's hut for something that was precious to her. Lulu thought, "How could I have lost my favorite moogle doll." As Lulu kept searching, Wakka walked in and said, "Hey Lu, I've got a surprise for you." Lulu didn't hear him because she was still busy searching. Wakka walked over to Lulu and asked, "What ya doing," as he scratched the back of his head with a puzzled look on his face.
Lulu stood up and said, "I lost one of my moogle dolls." "Do you mean this one?" Wakka handed it to her, and said, "Sorry I didn't tell ya that I took it, because I wanted to surprise you with what I had done to it." Lulu held the moogle doll close to, the one with the little purple wings, replied, "What you do to my doll?" Wakka said, "I fixed it for ya, because it had a couple of tears in it from the last battle against Sir Jecht." "You fixed my moogle doll, all by yourself," asked Lulu. Wakka nodded his head yes, as Lulu sat the moogle on the bed, and then she threw her arms around Wakka. Lulu stated, "Thank you so much Wakka." "You're welcome, Lu."
Lulu let go of Wakka and said, "Sorry about messing up your hut." "It's okay, don't worry 'bout it," stated Wakka, as he found himself starring at her. Lulu said, "I'll start cleaning all this stuff up for you." "No, Lu, I said you don't have to worry 'bout it." Although Lulu ignored him and so she started cleaning all the mess up. Wakka just stood there and watch her clean up the mess. He thought, "Should I tell her what I've been meaning to tell her." Lulu continued cleaning, but at one point she paused and looked over at Wakka, she noticed that he looked like he was troubled over something.
So she decided to stop cleaning, and walked over to Wakka. Lulu asked, "Wakka what's wrong?" "Huh…oh it's nothing." "I can tell you're lying, Wakka," stated Lulu. Wakka replied, "Lu, there's something I've been meaning to tell ya for a long time now." "What is it, Wakka." "Lu, do you remember the times you and I would kiss each other, even though you were with my brudda, Chappu," explained Wakka. "Yeah, why." "Well even though it was wrong for you and I to do that, and my brudda ran off to join the crusaders, just to get himself killed, I fallen in love with ya," replied Wakka as he looked away from her.
Lulu replied, "I'm truly sorry about your brother, Chappu, but I've got something to confess to you to, Wakka." "What?" "I cared about Chappu, although when he left, I finally realized that I was in love with you, not him. Basically what I'm telling Wakka is that I've waited too long to say this to you, directly," mentioned Lulu. She then stated, "I love you, Wakka," as she wrapped her arms around him again. "I love you, too, Lu," he replied, as he brushed the hair out her face with his hand. Wakka put his other hand around her, as they were both drawing themselves toward each other. When their lips met, they began kissing each passionately.
