Chapter 5 is for happy people!
After you're done with this, why not check out "Past Love" or "Field Trip! First Adventure" by Malathyne? It's not as if we have lives anyway (I mean, really, why are you reading THIS?). IT'S THE SPIRAL OF DEATH! RUN! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE! I SEE THE LIGHT! WHHEEEEEEEEE! AURON'S HERE IN HEAVEN TOO!!! Yum!
Er... sorry 'bout that.

Wakka bent over and cupped his knees, panting and heaving. Tidus ran up next to him and leaned back to get a good look at this enormous creature looming over them.
"We're going to be RIDING that thing?" he asked in disbelief.
"It's called a shoopuf," Wakka explained. "It's gonna carry us across the Moonflow, and from there, we movin' on to Guadosalam. Pretty amazing, ya?"
"Yeah..." Tidus muttered. His gaze turned to Yuna, who was negotiating with the shoopuf driver. She's so beautiful, he thought. I won't let anything happen to you, Yuna. You're safe with me... And when this pilgrimage is over, we can go to my Zanarkand! Promise!
Yuna bowed to the gentleman, then turned and approached Tidus and Wakka. She nervously tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and looked up at the two.
"I... I was able to arrange for only... 300 gil," she said with a weak smile.
"Then let's go, ya?" Wakka said before dashing off in his goofy loping gait, Yuna following close behind. Tidus hesitated and looked once again at the gigantic creature.
A tall, red figure silently walked up to his side. He, too, looked up at the shoopuf. "When your father and I were on the pilgrimage..." he began, "he got drunk when we were staying here, and slaughtered a mother shoopuf in blind rage. Braska and I had to compensate with every single coin that we had earned." Tidus looked down at his feet. He seethed Jecht with a renewed passion, but kept his anger to himself. He still didn't understand much... then again, none of this made much sense.
"My old man..."
"Come. They're waiting."
Auron led Tidus up the steps onto the back of the shoopuf. Everyone took a seat in the boxed enclosure. Kimahri and Auron took one seat, Lulu and Yuna the next, and Tidus and Wakka kicking back in benches of their own. They rode along quietly, Wakka's snoring occasionally breaking the peaceful silence. Yuna closed her eyes, thankful for this rare chance to rest, when all of a sudden...

Dundundun! Sorry dudes, you know how it goes. It was kind of a short chapter, but then again how many people read this stuff on Sunday evening? The next chapter is already in the works. Hmm... my Author's Notes take up almost as much space as the story itself.
Don't worry, Yunis and MAYBE Wakku fluff ahead! Be patient! So review and the chapters will come quicker than ever! Er, if you want, that is.
