Okay! I FINALLY got around to writing chapter 2 of my much-neglected non-
humor fic, 'Another Time!' Just to clarify, this fic is written from the
perspective of Wakka, because I wanted to. Also, this takes place some time
after Chapter 1.
Another Time, Chapter 2 "One" by Kashiwa
Tidus. So beautiful, so sporty, so cheerful and kind. So.Tidus. Woo- hoo, it's Tidus. I'm Wakka, it is now known by Lulu, Rikku, and Cid that I have a little crush on Tidus. They all "accept" what I am, and how I feel about another man. They all think it is "great" and "cool." But-what if I was to lose my interest in Tidus? Wouldn't it somehow disappoint them that I don't have this "tendency" anymore? Well, no matter how things go with them, I know what the truth is. I have a missing part of myself that I lost when my brother left that one faithful day. It is gone, and Tidus does not have it. I mean, I love Tidus a lot, but I love him the same way I love Yuna, Auron, Kimahri, Rikku, and. Lulu. Lulu, of Besaid Island, the "town goth," the widow of my brother, the black mage of the party. Lulu, the woman. Well, it would seem that we have extra time before our next heroic outing, so we have all voted to return to Besaid to relax. I look forward to seeing my home again. I look forward to seeing my town again. I look forward to the waterfalls and the grassy plains and the summoning mandala. But most of all, I look forward to my life before we ever embarked on our journey, and I know that is the only thing I cannot find at home anymore. But, what's the point of home if it isn't where you live? All I'm really doing is returning to "house," a place that happens to be on the way. Well, I suppose I should stop being so depressed and feeling sorry for myself. Lulu hates it when I do that. I just need to move on. That's what would make her happy, if anything can anymore.
Well, we have arrived at Besaid, and I have returned to my hut. God, it's gotten so dirty since I've been here last. I really need to dust. Lulu would be so angry if she saw how I have let my home-house become. Hmm? A knock at the door? I guess I'll see who it is. It's Lulu. "Hey Wakka. Wanna go to that meadow we used to play at? You know, for old times sake, treasured moments, fuzzy memories and such?" Man, she is always sarcastic. I figure it wouldn't hurt to relive some childhood moments again. As I walk, I can see that Lulu is not wearing her usual Goth-getup. She is just wearing a light, sundress with frills. She has let her hair down, and all of her jewelry and makeup have been removed. Suddenly, I notice something-here sundress is black. Some things will never change. We are now at the top, and I can see few Chocobos at the other side of the hill, taking a sip of water from an old pond. "Wanna race down?" Lulu asks. Is she crazy? We'll scare all the Chocobos away! Well, alright, we can, but only because we're in Besaid for a such a short time. "Ready? Set.?" Suddenly, she bursts out running! "GO!!" "Hey! I say. I dash after her, and I can see a slight smirk on her face. Thankfully, I am much more physically capable than her, and I half just grabbed her by the shoulder. We both stumble and roll for a few moments until we come to a complete stop, with her lying on my chest. Oh no! Something's wrong! Lulu is doing something weird with her face! She's.she's. Laughing! Laughing hysterically! She's even snorting a bit (no wonder she never laughs)! As the laughter pauses, she opens her eyes as wide as she can. Her eyes are so beautiful. They look like two lanterns, illuminated by Pyreflies. And her lips, they look like two tulip petals, held together by some supernatural force. But now, her eyes are closed, and I can no longer see her lips. As her eyes grow bigger, I feel entranced by her soul. As I feel two tulip's petals brush against my lips, I realize that I have found the missing part of myself.
