Chapter #2 Just another day in Luca.
Yuna had been sitting there, at that beach for at least an hour now. She sat there. Just sitting, and thinking. She thought of everything that had happened to her so far in her life. From her fathers death, to losing Tidus. You would think that all these events would shape her as a person, but Yuna was very good at hiding her pain. Even from herself. Was she going to have to face that pain now? Probably.
And all the while there was the "small" problem of the fact that she didn't really know who she was. Suddenly she heard footsteps behind her. She turned to see Wakka standing there. "Yuna?" he said. "Why'd ya leave all a'sudden ya?" "I just need think." "'Bout what ya?" "Just stuff." "'Bout Tidus ya?" "Yes about him." He moved to sit beside her, and placed his arm comfortingly around her shoulder. "We all miss dat kid ya. Even 'Lu some times." "Not just about him." "Den what else?" "Just other things" Yuna said rather vaguely. "Yuna I'm you're friend ya. I can't help ya if ya don't tell me what's wrong ya." He told her. "It's just that, who am I? Really? And don't say Yuna because that doesn't really answer my question. Ever since I became a summoner I had to hide my true feelings. Smile when I felt like frowning, and laugh when I felt like crying." A tear began to roll down her cheek. " All this time I've been putting on this, this mask, and now that I can take it off I find myself wondering what is actually beneath it? And that got me thinking, I wish he were here. He'd know what to do. He always did. He could make me laugh. He knew me better then I knew myself. How can I possibly find out who I am with out him?" Yuna paused for a moment. The emotion stacked up inside her felt almost too much to bear. "Yuna.." Wakka began, but Yuna shook her head, she wasn't finished yet. "But what hurts the most is that he can't come back. He isn't real. He was all just a dream. A wonderful, fantastic dream. But when you wake up that's all he was, just a dream." More tears fell, and this time they didn't stop. 'Yuna you're not alone in this ya. We're here for you Yuna. All of us, me, Rikku, 'Lu and even lil' Cindy. We're gonna try an' help ya through dis ya. Tidus isn't here but we're all gonna do out best to put a smile back on you're face ya. Now it's gettin' late I'm gonna head back, you might wanna do da same ya?" "Alright. I will. I just need a little more time to myself. Okay?" "Fine see ya later ya." "Bye." With that Wakka stood up and left Yuna, once again, to her thoughts.
Rikku approached her sleeping cousin. She sighed, if they were going to go to Luca today Yuna was going to have to get up. Because, and only because, of what had happened last night Rikku decided against jumping on her bed and shaking Yuna. She simply poked her gently. Yuna stirred but ultimately nothing happened. So she poked her again, and again, and again until finally she moaned. "Urrggghhhh. Go 'way." Yuna mumbled rather uncharacteristically. "No Yunie. You have to get up." Rikku told her. "Mmmmmpppph. Why?" "Because we're going to Luca!" Now this got Yuna's attention. "W-what?" "Wakka told Lulu 'n' me what happened last night by the beach, we -well I- thought it would be good if you, Lulu and me had a "girls only" day in Luca! Just think Yunie! We can go shopping and go to a café, maybe even catch a game! Waddya say? Pleeeeese?" "Um, well that does kind of nice." "Yay! Oh this is going to be sooo much fun! I'm gonna go tell Lulu and Wakka! See ya!" Rikku was bouncing up and down in her usual happy way. Yuna smiled as Rikku left the room, she probably hadn't even asked Lulu yet. Sure enough a few minutes later she saw Rikku trying to coax Lulu into going. "Oh come on Lulu it'll be real fun. Yuna already said she go didn't you Yuna?" Rikku said looking expectantly at the former summoner. "Well. yes I suppose I did." Yuna replied feeling rather uncomfortable under the watchful gazes of both Lulu and Rikku. "See." Rikku told a reluctant Lulu. "Well I could use a break from parenting.." "What! You're not takin' her with you?" asked Wakka "Pleeeeease?" Prompted Rikku, ignoring Wakka. "Umm.. Oh well all right I'll come." Lulu agreed albeit reluctantly. "Yay!" Cried Rikku. "Yeah all right we're going to Luca." Once again Rikku was bouncing up and down, until she saw Yuna standing there in her pajamas. "Oh! Come on Yuna you gotta get ready! You can borrow something of mine!" "Um.I don't thi." Yuna started "Oh that's okay! I don't mind!" And she promptly pulled Yuna over to her chest with her clothes in. Wakka and Lulu just walked outside with Lucinda, laughing.
A while later Rikku emerged with a very anxious Yuna, who was wearing the longest shorts Rikku had -which still didn't even reach mid-thigh- and the least revealing top which still left quite a bit of skin showing. "Are you sure I look okay?" Yuna kept asking Rikku as they made their was to the airship. "Yes, I'm sure for the twenty fifth time, Yuna. Stop asking." "Sorry." Yuna replied. That very reply had become a sort of reaction for her over the years. Just another reminder of what her time as a summoner and head of the council had done to her. :No: she thought as she shook off that feeling :I'm going to have fun. I'm not going to brood today: And with that she, Rikku and Lulu boarded the airship.
Once the airship had landed Rikku grabbed Lulu and Yuna and dragged them off to all the shops. And when I say all the shops, I mean all. "Rikku, stop it we've been looking at these shops for hours, and why are we looking and paint?" Yuna asked after what seemed like (or actually may have been) hours. "Nonsense it has not been hours. It's been..." Rikku checked her watch "..Two...hours, a-and we're looking at paint b-because I-I, oh I don't know. Okay we could rest for a while." Said Rikku, clearly disappointed. Lulu sighed with relief. "Thank God. From a Hyperactive toddler to a hyperactive 18 year old." "Haha. Very funny Lulu. But I know you don't mean that." Rikku retorted "Aaalrighty then! I know this great café and it's just over there!" She said pointing in a very vague direction. "Um Rikku? Where over there?" asked Lulu. "Just follow me!' Rikku then grabbed them both and led the zigzagging through the crowd, until they came across a small café with large colourful umbrellas and several handfuls of people sitting down and talking. Rikku selected a table and sat down. She motioned for Yuna and Lulu to do the same, so they both sat down and looked at the menus. When they had all finished, Rikku suggested they go see a game of Blitzball. Although seeing something that would remind her of Tidus was the last thing Yuna wanted to do right now she agreed anyway. They walked over to the ticket both and bought three tickets for the next game. "The Al bhed Psychs verses the Kilika beasts." Rikku read aloud. "Yay! Go the Psychs! I hope toast their asses!" Rikku Squealed with excitement. The three girls made their way to the stands and took their seats. Even though there were speakers all over the stadium Yuna and Lulu could barely hear the commentators over Rikku's yelling and cheering. "Whoohooo!!!! Go Psychs!! Yeah!!! Awww c'mon!!! They're losers you can beat them!!!" The noise was deafening and Yuna couldn't even see over the top of the Ronso in front of her Lulu looked bored and kept checking her watch to see when the game would end. When the game was finally over they managed to catch an airship back to Besaid just before the sun went down. By the time they got back Wakka and Cindy were asleep and there wasn't many lights on in the village. They crept into the house and soundlessly made their way into bed. Yuna, like everyone else, was exhausted and not long after her head hit the pillow did she drift off to sleep.
That night, Yuna had a dream. Tidus came to see her, but it wasn't exactly what you'd call a social call. "Yuna," he said. "I came to warn you, I don't have much time but, You're in danger. I can't tell you what sort but please, listen to me, I know this sounds crazy but don't trust anyone wearing pink. Okay? I have to go now. Be strong, Spira needs you to." And with that he faded and Yuna woke up startled.
A/n: Okay. I know the pink thing is quit weird, not even I know what it means but oh well my bizarre imagination has never failed me before. Also there's this thing I need to say. Review's people! (There are people reading this right?) See I don't know! Please do review or I'll stop writing!!! (Okay maybe that ISN'T the way to coax you into reviewing but oh well)
