~*~ Today, I felt really bad about mixing everything up…. I really didn't mean to….I just hate computers…. Oi…..well, here is a new chappy and YES it's the right one…please forgive my mistake again…I feel horribly awful…. : ' (     ~*~

We returned to the main entrance of the temple, exhausted and angered by Summoner Dona's words. Yuna and Kimahri made their way down the stairs and to the huge lobby in the temple. The huge blue Ronso guided her into a room where they met a young maid at the door. Her hair was a long brown and her eyes were a soft hazel while she wore a long white gown. She guided Yuna into the new room, showing her the bathroom and other sorts of room to make her aware of the rooms where she would rest for the night.

Kimahri returned to the guardians and stood beside Auron in the normal guardian position; keeping to himself and not saying a word.

Wakka cleared his throat and looked to everyone, "We rest tonight." He looks over to where Yuna left the gang and entered the room. "She's tired, so we'll let her get'er sleep."

I nodded and yawned myself. "Yeah, I'm tired too."

Tidus turned to me with a devilish smile on his face. "No one said you could sleep."

I stopped yawning and gently hit his arm, "Heeeey! Cut it out!"

Tidus laughed and nudged my arm with his fist, pushing me aside from his strength. I stuck my tongue out to him and then made my way to the doors that led to the outside. I was stopped short by Wakka's voice calling to me.

I turned to him and waited for him to say something. "Don't go far, ya?" he waved.

I waved back and nodded, "I won't!"

"And don't go out and get drunk!" Tidus yelled to me.

I stopped dead in my tracks and turned to him. I found him laughing at me, along with Wakka and everyone else. I flew my arms up in the air; it was hopeless to explain. I tightened both of my fists and stomped to the doors and marched out of the temple.

"Boy, the nerve of some people!" I snorted. I walked down the path and looked up to the star lit sky.

It was so beautiful tonight. The stars all lit up with their yellow and white glow, sparkling as if they were diamonds. The trees were captured in the winds breeze, their leaves all swaying in a soothing rhythmical movement. Looking around the small area, Pyerflies floated in the air, dancing and bouncing in the breeze as if someone was playing a tune that they were mesmerized by. To my left was a Utility shop and to my right were some Weeping Willow trees and a patch of wildflowers in front of them. I walked over to my right and stood in the middle of the flower patch. I scanned the area and found a small lake before me with some ancient ruins brought by Sin next to it. The way that the light hit the water in the lake made it seem as if the water was coated in diamonds that would make any girl swoon. I sighed happily and leaned back, falling gently into the bed of flowers.

I looked up to the sky, watching and hoping that maybe I would be able to see a shooting star or something. The Pyerflies caught my eyes as they surrounded the lake before me. I smiled, watching them dance and twirl in the leaves and in the grass around my body. One danced from the others and made its way to me, its bright colors and trails illuminating the grass underneath it.

I lifted up my hand and watched in awe as the Pyerfly twirled around my small hand, the trails intertwining between my fingers. I grasped the trails, not actually wanting to touch the small ball of light itself. Then I wandered to myself, -What would it be like to a Pyerfly? What would you see?-

The Pyerfly stopped twirling around in my hand and then lifted up further in the air, slowly dancing above my head. Its light shone on me, my eyes squinting from the multicolored brightness. I followed the Pyerfly and then tilted my head back and to my surprise, saw many Pyerflies all behind me.

I opened my mouth in amazement, "Whoa."

The Pyerflies were all gathered behind me; their trails floating everywhere and balls circling each other. I sat up and watched the beautiful sight, completely baffled by their beauty. My eyes filled with their colors and their dance, not believing what was happening before me. I opened my mouth again and then held out my hand to the large group of floating colors, not actually sure if what I saw was real. I reached out further and just as I was about to touch one of them, someone had cleared their throat.

I withdrew from the Pyerflies, totally startled by their sudden noise. I fell back and inched away form them, shocked by the night's everlasting surprise. I looked up to the group and watched as the Pyerflies began floating away form their huge gathering. They soon faded away into the night, leaving a figure in their trails.

I clenched my fist, preparing myself for the fight that the Pyerflies had left me with. You see, when Pyerflies gather in large groups like that, they usually are beginning to create a fiend. I knew what was happening so I raised my Buster Glove and sneered in its direction. The figure stepped out form the shadows, revealing its true form.

It was Lulu.

I smiled brightly and then lowered my fist to hug my friend. I stood to my feet and then opened my arms to give her a hug.

"You scared me Lulu!!" I laughed.

Lulu smiled as she hugged her comrade. "I'm sorry" she apologized, "I couldn't find you."

"It's alright." I said happily I let her go and then sat back on the ground. Lulu watched the young Al Bhed as she lowered and final sat on the ground. She looked to her sides and found a bench behind her to sit on so she wouldn't spoil her dress. Lowering herself to the bench, she called me over so I could be next to her.

I got up and walked over to where she was and then sat back down on the ground directly in front of her. She reached out to me and then told me to sit in between her legs so she didn't have to yell. I agreed and inched back to where my back eventually met her dress.

She looked down on my head and placed a hand on my pony-tail. "Do you mind?" she asked politely.

I shook my head, knowing that what she was doing was ok. "Nope, go ahead!"

Lulu smiled and then gently placed her hand around the blue pony-tail wrap. Very slowly and delicately, she pulled on the cloth and watched as my hair fell from its position and down below my shoulders. With both of her hands, she began to comb her fingers through my blonde locks and messaged my head with her soft fingers.

I closed my eyes in pleasure; it felt so good. It has been a long time since anyone has played with my hair. After my mother died, I forbid letting anyone touch my hair again. It made me upset when someone asked me if they could play with my hair. I would get angry with them, but I honestly didn't mean too; I just missed my mom. The fact that my mother used to do the same thing Lulu was doing now, didn't really bother me as much as it would if anyone else was doing it. I guess it's because of the fact that I let my mother go, and I had to return to my life again. Still, deep inside it felt like she was here, doing exactly what Lulu was doing.

Lulu tilted her head to me, "Something's wrong." She said silently.

I opened my eyes and a frown was upon my face. I looked across the area, trying to find the right answer to give her. I knew that the answer wasn't in the multicolored lilies, or in the cool waters of the lake; it was deep within my heart. I couldn't possibly tell her though; she would tear all my hair out of my head and then rip my own head off!

I sighed and then shook my head gently, "It's nothing."

Lulu leaned back and raised an eyebrow; she knew I was lying. "Come on, you can tell me."

Oh and I wish I could.

But Lulu, there are just some things one must contain.

I gulped and then moved my head to my side, trying to face her, "Well…"

There had to be a way to explain what I was feeling, but very discreetly. "What's it like to be in love?"

Oh boy, here we go. I defiantly should not have said that.

Especially to her…with her incident with Chappu and all.

Lulu looked out into the distance and closed her eyes. She had thought the memories of him had faded into the darkest corners of her mind. Putting those precious memories there would hopefully close the door that she always left open for him. She thought that no one would ever bring up that subject again. But Rikku, she was so young and so eager to learn. Lulu knew that she had to face the truth now, for her own good and for Rikku's sake. She had to remember what it was like to love again after loosing her future husband, Chappu.

She sighed, trying to fight the tears of her lost mate. Her eyes opened and she sniffled away her tears, "Being in love…makes you different." She said hesitantly.

I blinked and scratched my cheek, thinking about how much I may have changed, "Like, how much?"

Lulu continued to play with Rikku's hair, "Sometimes a lot. Sometimes not at all."

"Oh, and do people notice it?"

Lulu raised a brow, "Sometimes." She was beginning to wonder about her young comrade. Not saying a word, she waited for Rikku to continue.

I trembled in my spot, trying to conceal my feelings for Auron, "And…do, people, say anything, about it?"

Lulu shook her head and continued to play with my hair; she had to ask Rikku. "Why, do you think you're in love?"

I opened my eyes and was frozen in my spot. I thought about my response and what I should say to her. I gulped in fear that she would scold me if she found out my feelings for him.

"Uhh… well…" I said, completely stunned by her question.

Lulu smirked and then piled up my hair in one big spot, "Is it anyone I know?" she teased.

I trembled again and shook my head quickly, "No!"

Lulu wasn't expecting her to shake her head so quickly and lost her grip. Her hair fell against her shoulder and she watched as Rikku slowly turned towards her.

"What's wrong?" she asked the Al Bhed quietly.

I had my mouth slightly opened from my amazement. My eyes raced the grounds surface in hopes to find the answer I would give to Lulu. I raised my head to her slowly and then licked my lips, procrastinating my situation.

Lulu tilted her head to side and reached out for my shoulder, "Rikku, are you alright?"

Her voice seemed to have freed me from my frozen state. It seeped through my ears and into every inch of my body, breaking the cold ice that trapped me in my condition. I looked up to her and nodded quickly, "Yeah, I'm fine" I said with a small smile. I looked back towards the inn and then to her, "I think I'm gonna go back inside now."

Lulu smiled and extended a hand to her. I smiled back to her and held on to her hand as I lifted myself up to my feet. She raised her hand to me once I was up and opened her hand to reveal my hair wrap.

I nodded my head as a thank you and placed the wrap around my wrist. I began walking to the temple when I stopped suddenly and turned back to her, "You coming?"

Lulu was now watching the water in the lake as her entertainment with her hands on top of another upon her lap. She heard Rikku call to her and she turned her head to the direction.

"No," she responded, "I think I'll stay out here for a while."

I watched her return her eyes to the lake and stare off into the distance as if she had lost something dear to her. I smirked, trying to find that smile that I always wore. I turned around to the temple once more and walked to the entrance to call it a night.
