Authors Note:  After thinking about it, I decided to revamp this whole damn story, meaning new narritive style, bigger words, ect ect, but the 'revamping' won't come until this old short and above all old OLD chapter.  Hope you enjoy the clichéness. By the way, yeah, don't worry, things will move a ton quicker later.

So Rikku's an Al Bhed?  I'd like to Al Bhed her eh heh!

            I waited in isolation.  I was so alone, in the most beautiful place in Spira.  Gone, I was gone from present and the future.  I was left weak, alone, and depressed.  Self-pity was very comforting.

            I slowly felt my hand reappear in front of me.  My torso began to materialize, and I searched desperately for Rikku.  Who else would visit me?  Wakka and Kimahri had frequent visits but stopped, and Lulu and Yuna had only visited me twice.  My upper half was fully formed, and I felt my legs beneath me.

            "Hello..." I looked at Rikku.

            "Hey!  So um, like how's the Farplane?"   I couldn't help but smile.  Rikku could be very cute some times.

            "It is the same.  It hasn't changed since the last you visited me."

            "Well a lot could happen in two days..." Two days.  She hadn't visited me in two days.  Even if she loved me, I wasn't able to see her every day, every moment.  I spent two days alone, and I would spend many more.  I nodded.

            "What...is new?"

            "Well I have this little thing I made...I wanna test it.  On you.  'Kay?"

            "...Fine."  I stood there hesitantly, not understanding what I should do.

            "Just stand reaaal still.  This won't hurt a bit!  I think..." Rikku bit her bottom lip and looked up, trying to remember something.

            I felt strange.  I looked at my arm.  It was the same.  But...it felt different.  It was like I was becoming real again, becoming a human.  I looked at Rikku.  She had closed her eyes in concentration and brought out a machine-like device.  It began to whir and beep in a flurry of excitement, and I began to feel stronger and more formed...almost as if I was a ball of clay, and I was being shaped into myself again.  I brushed my hand against my hair, expecting to feel something.

            It was there. 

            When you're at the Farplane and you're being conjured, you still are just an animation. You aren't anything.  You are a vision.  But, when I brushed my hand through my hair, it didn't pass through my head like a hologram, I felt my hair.  I was forming, becoming human again.  I fell on the ground, and lay there.  I was myself again. 

            "YES!  It worked!  Oh great Auron, this is great!  Come on, we gotta show Yunie and the others!"  I smiled.  In two days people really can do a lot.  But, I still lay there, breathing heavily.

            "Yes let's...but I need a rest.  I'm afraid I'm not used to being human again..." Rikku grabbed my arm hurriedly and dragged me to her house in Besaid.  Wakka was there, cooking a tropical lunch for everyone.

            "Hey Rikku, we're out of pineapples so we're gonna hafta use...holy shit!  Auron?!   What is this ya?!  Some sort of Al Bhed trick?!"

            "No trick Wakka!  Auron's back!"

            "S-s-ir Auron!  W,welcome back, ya?"

            "Hello Wakka.  I...need to sit down.  I'm tired."  I slumped over in a chair, relaxed and stretched.

            "P-praise be to Yevon!!  Yuna's gotta see this!"  Wakka dropped the bowl of salad and rushed off to the beach.
