Chapter Two: Violation
"Alright!" Tidus beamed, changing the thought of rotting Ochu flesh to that of more presents. Auron could hardly wait.
"Let's get this over with," Auron muttered, looking at the shrinking pile with growing hate. Tidus skipped back to the pile.
"And the next present is from . . . Lulu!" Tidus announced. Lulu cringed as Tidus set it on the table.
"Here's your birthday gift. I'm sorry," she said, quite seriously. Auron raised an eyebrow and took the sugar-pink package from Lulu. It was quite long. He opened it. Inside was a sword. It was long, and had a strange bucket-like thing on top. Auron turned to Lulu.
"What is this . . . fascinating device?" he question angrily. Lulu sighed.
"Er, well, it's a cooler. You know," she said, glaring at Tidus with that evil, evil look of hers. "Because sometimes when you're fighting monsters, you just want a brew ski," she sneered. Tidus was clapping and giggling. Auron suddenly got the idea that the gift just might not have been Lulu's idea.
"I'm sorry," she said under her breath. "I wanted to get you a real sword, but when Baby Huey over there said he'd go pick it up from the store, this is what came home with him."
Auron nodded, sticking the sword in the Ochu's head. He turned to Tidus.
"Next," he growled. Tidus gave him a thumbs up and scuttled back to the pile. He picked up a gothic, black package with a stringy red ribbon on it.
"It's from Yuna!" he said. Auron looked at the package.
"It's awfully . . . Satanic for your tastes, Lady Yuna," he said, staring at the pile of sinful wrapping in front of him. The bubbly summoner giggled.
"I wrapped Lulu's, and she wrapped mine! It was SO much fun!" Yuna bopped up and down in her seat, overjoyed at the thought of her gift being next. Auron shrugged and pulled at the blood red ribbon. Ripping at the paper, he found a small blue sphere underneath.
"A sphere?" Auron asked, actually interested in this particular gift. Maybe it held a recording from his last journey to defeat Sin. Yuna reached over and hit the play button.
"Enjoy!" she giggled, sliding back to her seat. The sphere flickered, then a static noise was heard.
As the static faded, an image was slowly coming into view in the sphere. At first Auron couldn't make it out, then he realized it was Yuna.
"Hello Sir Auron! Happy birthday! It's me, Yuna!" the sphere spat out in a sing-song voice.
"Yeah, no shit," Auron muttered.
"Well, I couldn't decide what to give you for your birthday, but I figured that since we might not see each other after this fun trip-"
"Fun trip? Good god . . ." Auron said angrily. Had she no clue what was to come?
"YEVON!!!!!!!" Wakka corrected him in a voice that was inappropriately loud. Auron rolled his . . . eye . . . and looked back at the sphere.
"So, as a lasting momento of our time together, I've made this home movie of everyone. So you can REMEMBER ALWAYS! Enjoy!"
The sphere faded to black, then back to a picture. This time, cheesy music was playing in the background, accompanied by a very, very, very close up shot of Wakka's nostril. He was apparently snoring.
"Here's Wakka! Remember him?" Yuna's voice chirped through over the music. Auron turned to her.
"How could I forget him when I see him EVERY day?" he spat. Yuna shrugged.
"You'll need a reminder when you're old and senile!" she said, almost too happily. Auron crossed his arms in front of his chest, and stared at the sphere with a hateful glare.
The camera had moved from Wakka's nostril to his face. Yuna's voice once again rang out.
"Uh-Wakka-Wakka-Wee!" she sang, poking his nose. The man gargled back his spit and rolled over. "Oh, Sir Auron! I bet you didn't know that Wakka talks about you all the time to his Blitzball buddies! He says you two are the best of friends, and you sleep in the same bed!"
"YOU WHAT," Auron screeched, whipping his head to stare down Wakka. The man just shrugged.
"Ay man, what I do to you in your sleep is no business of yours, yeah?" The chill that went down Auron's back could have given the entire party hypothermia.
"Did you do this last night?" Lulu asked, staring at the sphere. Yuna nodded.
"You all looked so CUTE in your sleep, I couldn't help myself!"
"So, you basically invaded our privacy, taped us, and violated us while we slept?"
"Pretty much!"
The sphere showed Yuna stumble away from Wakka and onto her next victim, Rikku.
"It's ME!" Rikku chirped. Auron cringed.
"As you can see, Rikku still sucks her thumb," Yuna said, pointing the camera at Rikku's mouth. Indeed, her thumb was securely planted between her lips.
"Yunie! You said you wouldn't tell!" Rikku cried out. Yuna shrugged.
"And over here sleeping like a widdle baby, is my good palski Lulu!" Yuna's voice sang out from the sphere. The close-up of Lulu's "assests" was sprawled out for all to see. "Hee hee! Look at her, all booby-ly doobily!"
"You pervert," Lulu snarled, looking at Yuna. She just smiled at her.
"Serves you right for letting them hang all out and stuff!" Yuna said sweetly. Lulu grinded her teeth and looked back at the sphere.
What they saw next made everyone scream out in terror.
"Alright!" Tidus beamed, changing the thought of rotting Ochu flesh to that of more presents. Auron could hardly wait.
