actually.
I woke up knowing fear for the first time when we were to leave Besaid. I had a dream. I was falling into a deep chasm. Looking up, I see Wakka, Yuna, Lord Braska and Chappu. I yell but no sound comes out. My moogle sits on the side, crying, but his magic can't help me. Then I hit the ground with a deafening crack. I sat up and screamed. Real life again. Cold sweat on my brow, I climbed out of bed and shivered. I didn't want Yuna to go. When I saw her first summoning, I couldn't believe it. She had Lord Braska's talent and the kindness in her eyes that was like her mother. Her way of summoning was different, a big show, come one, come all! It's certainly a sight to watch her. I heard a knock at my door.
"Lu? Lu, you there?" It was Wakka. I could see his haircut from inside. My moogle, Parathion, jumped up and down on my bed.
"Stop it!" I was so stressed and scared. I opened the heavy door. "Wakka. How's she doing?"
"No sign." I could tell he was frightened too. We'd been friends since we were little children and never kept anything from eachother. Now I could sense something.
"Wakka, you okay?" He tapped the door frame and shook his head.
"I'm fine, just worried 'bout Yuna, ya?" I nodded.
"You want to come in? It's a bit of a mess. Packing and everything."
"Ya, thanks." I stepped aside and he sat down. Should I tell him about the dream?
"Tea?" I gestured to the pan full of floating leaves.
"No, thanks Lu." I shrugged and Parathion jumped into Wakka's lap. "Yo, Parathion, my moogle. Wassup?" They knocked hands and I wanted to smile but I couldn't stop thinking about Yuna.
"Meep!" Parathion snuggled up to Wakka and fell asleep.
"Sorry about him." I poured the tea mixture into a glass and sat down in a chair by Wakka. "He hasn't got much sleep either."
"Ya, he loves Yuna as much as we do." He smiled, even though his eyes were gleaming. "Do you remember when they played tag? You were on Parathion's team, I was referee because I'd hurt my leg and Yuna complained about having no friends?" Wakka tickled Parathion's chin. "Yeah. Famous father I guess. She had trouble making friends."
"But she shouldn't have done, Lu. She is such a great person ya know?" I nodded. Wakka rubbed his forehead. I saw a tear fall down his cheek.
"Oh, Wakka..." I sat down by him and stroked his head.
"She shouldn't... She can't... Lu!" He started to cry loudly. I felt a silent tear roll down my make-up clear cheek. I scraped it away and hugged Wakka's back.
"I know, Wakka. I know. I love her too." And that's when I felt the fear.
