Hi guys! I really appreciate all the feedback. It helps to make my stories
more enjoyable. (Hopefully they were enjoyable in the first place but let's
not open that door...) Sorry if I get some bits the wrong way round except
I'm in Zanarkand at the moment and going this far back is quite hard.
m(__)m Scusees while I hit my head! Again! m(__)m
DID YOU KNOW: Okay, this is pretty random but John DiMaggio is the voice of Wakka and Kimahri. He also voices Bender from Futurama! Now whenever I watch it, he keeps saying "Ya? Ya?" (shudders)
"Rikku, it's not what you think!" I pleaded. We were about to step into the Farplane. Rikku looked from me to Auron, then back to me.
"What do you see in him?" She put her hand on her hip and bit into her apple. "I mean, I'm not trying to flame your taste or anything, just...." she whispered, mouth full, beside my ear, "he wears socks and sandals." She pointed to his feet and shook her head.
"Rikku, that's not the point, the point is...."
"Yo! Lu! You coming or what?" It was Wakka. I was pleased to be interrupted. Rikku waved as the strange jelly door enveloped me. I breathed in and tried to focus on the task in hand - Yuna's marriage offer.
I saw her in front of her father and mother. Her mother's face was no longer filled with the warmth and kindness I had known for a very short time. Instead was this blankness. She just didn't seem alive or dead, just existing. I couldn't bear to look at her anymore. Then I saw Wakka talking to Chappu.

"Come on Lulu! This way!" Chappu took Lulu's hand and led her under the heavy-blossomed tree.
"Oh my Chappu. It's so beautiful here."
"I knew you'd like it here." He stood up and patted his toe in the warm waters. "It's nice tonight." Chappu sat back down beside her. "Lulu, I have known you for such a long time and I know I'm younger than you but.. I think we have something special."
"Chappu, what are you saying?"
"Lulu, I love you and I always will. I wanted to tell you this because I knew I'd never get a chance to once I've fought Sin. I won't be coming back."
"How do you know that?" said Lulu, her voice full of awe.
"It's just a feeling." Chappu pointed to the dark sky that hung over Macalania. "Full moon." He looked into her eyes and held her hand. "Like your eyes. They're so full. Your lips too. They're so full.." he leant in and kissed her as the pyreflies burst into the air around them.

I stood there, looking at him. No life, no hope, nothing. Just nothing. It was hard to know that that was what he was now. Chappu was dead and I missed him so much. I would never be the same. No one would ever love me like that again. I would never love like that again. I smiled properly for what seemed like the first time. My Chappu was gone. Wakka's Chappu was gone but he'd always be there with us in some way. I knew it. He was behind us, the whole way. I loved him. I did but I let go.
"You always said I looked grumpy but those were the happiest days of my life."
I was so true.
Aww! Smushy smushy smushy for Valentine's day!
MWAH!
