Rays of sunlight dashed through the window and onto a bed where someone was sleeping. Yuna groaned and lifted herself up. Still dizzy, she made her way through to the bathroom door. Yuna got dressed then went downstairs. Seeing nobody woke up yet, she jumped on the couch and opened the TV.

Yuna switched through channels mindlessly.

"GOOD MORNING YUNA!" Rikku yelled causing Yuna to let the remote fall. Suddenly a channel switched to a daily news show.

"Rikku!!" she said angrily.

"Sorry... Look!" Rikku pointed towards the TV.

It had a video of people in dark cloaks breaking in some stores taking everything in sight. Some were holding the guards back and they seemed quite strong.

"We're leaving here tomorrow. It would be good if we trained a bit before we face a whole pack that outnumbers us."

"Yeah but you know," Rikku jumped on the couch beside Yuna, "I think that I'm ready. I also think that you're ready too. And of course Paine, she's more than ready."

"Hmm. Yeah I guess. Maybe we should check out on Lenne and Shuin."

"I saw a Shuin battle a bit and he won, and Lenne seemed like a really good fighter too. Did I mention she got a new weapon that once belonged to a queen?"

"No."

"Well it's a long story!" Rikku smiled. Then jumped off the couch and went to go get breakfast. A door creaked open and Shuin came out fully dressed. He yawned and stretched.

"Hey Yuna." He sat beside her on the couch.

"Lenne is in the other room across. She's not awake yet I guess."

"Not surprised," Shuin winked then walked off to Lenne's room and entered.

(Author's note: If you think I'm a person that writes bad stuff! YOU'RE WRONG!! No nothing bad is going to happen.)

Yuna stared at Lenne's bedroom door then heard someone yell.

"OH MY GOD! BEVELLE'S ARMY!!!" Shuin yelled. Yuna could hear a small shriek, a thud then a slapping noise. Shuin smiled as he came out, Yuna noticed he had a red mark on his cheek.

"She's awake now. It won't be long." He walked off to the kitchen. Yuna giggled and went in her room to pack things up.

Lenne walked grumpily out of her room with different clothing and went to the kitchen. Shuin greeted her.

"Hey there! Nice clothing. No let me guess. You went shopping with Rikku after the party!" Lenne nodded. She was wearing a blue turtleneck without sleeves and dark blue jeans.

"You should get new clothing too."

"Nah I feel just fine like this." Lenne nodded and took a piece of toast.

"If you need me I'll be in my room packing stuff up,"

"Wait! Lenne, Yuna asked if she could test your fighting abilities!"

"My fighting abilities?" questioned Lenne.

"Yeah."

"I guess. Tell her to meet me at the beach at noon," Rikku nodded and Lenne walked out.

"So basically what is Yuna gonna test her with?" Shuin took a piece of bread and buttered it.

"Actually just to tell you, I don't know either." Rikku and Shuin glanced at each other and laughed.

An hour past and Lenne walked over to the beach and gazed at the sea.

"Beautiful isn't it?" Yuna walked past Lenne making her to jump in surprise.

"Yeah. So what are you planning to test me with?"

"Nervous? You shouldn't be. I just want to see how you fight. I guess you'll be fighting me then. I'll go easy on you, don't worry."

"I suggest you don't go easy on me. I'm a skilled fighter too, just that I don't fight all that much."

"Okay. If that's what you want," Yuna looked at her nervously and asked, "Since, you know, we're going to Luca, I want to sing on stage again because it was fun but I want you to come with me to. You're the one that sang with me for 1000 words."

Lenne looked at Yuna surprisingly, "Of course I'll come with you! Anyways I was going to ask you if I can sing on stage with you and alone. Maybe I can start a career and live beside you in a small house near the beach." Yuna giggled and looked at the rippling waves.

"Want to go for a swim before our training?"

"Sure. I just have to go get my Bathing suit."

"I'll wait for you here and call the others too. Thanks." They nodded and walked off.

A couple of minutes later Lenne came back with her purple bathing suit (similar to Yuna's) and a couple of people including Shuin, Tidus, Rikku, Paine and Wakka. They were all in their bathing suits or swimming trunks. Yuna sat up and gave them an 'I'm over here' sign. She also noticed Rikku with a picnic basket wich probably meant that they would be picnicking there.

"Over there!" Rikku started to run over where Yuna was.

"Hey Rikku!" Yuna smiled at Rikku while she planted a parasol in the sand and letting the picnic basket rest under it.

"I wanted to see Lenne and you fight! So did the others. Lulu is going to come soon."

"Right. I'll race you to the water," Yuna winked as she got a head start.

"Hey aren't you supposed to count before you go? HEY!" Rikku ran after her.

The water was warm and the sun up high in the sky still shining brightly as everybody munched on the feast they had brought from the house. Not long after Lulu appeared with Chappu and joined the wonderful picnic. Once every stomachs were full, Lenne and Yuna took position to battle.

"You ready?" Lenne called out.

"Ready when you are!" Yuna took out her guns while Lenne gave a little hand gesture wich made something appear.

"Hmm. Wich button should I choose?" Lenne murmured under her breath, "This time I'll take electric." She pressed the yellow button and two golden yellow blades shot out of each end.

"Nice weapon you got there!" Yuna charged her guns. Tidus walked up between them.

"On my mark. Ready. Set. Go!"

Lenne charged at Yuna dodging every single bullet she shot. Finally Lenne gave a slash in the air and to her surprise, an electric shock sprang out hitting Yuna and paralyzing her so Lenne could catch up. Yuna tried to break free and when she did, she gave a kick at Lenne's leg and made her fall. Yuna nailed Lenne to the ground and punched her as many times as she can.

"Wow. She's harsh," Rikku bit her lips.

"I guess Yuna is giving her all she's got,"

"That Lenne better not hurt Yuna too much." Lulu cast an evil glare at the battle while Tidus and Shuin were having an argument.

"I say Yuna is going to win!"

"No. Lenne is!"

"Yuna!"

"Lenne!"

"YUNA!"

"LENNE!"

"Fine!! I bet my favorite blitzball that Yuna is going to win!"

"And I bet you MY favorite blitzball too!"

"What if it's a tie?"

"A tie? Uhhh. Well I guess we could.. ยป

"Trade girl friends for a day?" They both gave a death glare to each other and nodded slowly.

Lenne finally broke away from Yuna's grasp and kicked her in the face. Lenne kept on dodging every single bullet Yuna shot and when Yuna was down to her last ammo, she shot Lenne's wrist causing her to let go of her weapon. Yuna suddenly tackled Lenne and they started clawing, punching and kicking each other.

"Talk about a cat fight." Wakka raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah." Replied most of them but had their eyes glued to the fight.

Finally Lenne casted a magic attack, "Sleep!" Yuna stopped suddenly and had a tired expression on her face. Lenne took the opportunity and tackled her on the floor wich made her faint since Yuna was hit in the head hard by a large rock. Lenne lifted herself up and declared in a tired voice, "I guess I won," then fainted right beside her.

"So. Is it a tie?" Rikku asked as she ran up to Yuna and touched her forehead, "She's out cold."

"Yeah I guess it's a tie," declared Wakka. Shuin ran over and picked Lenne up.

"We should bring them back and take care of their injuries," Tidus nodded as he picked Yuna up and they both headed back to the house. The others followed silently.

(At the house)

The door of Lenne's room creaked open and a bandaged Yuna came in and sat on a chair nearby. (Author's note: you know! I'm talking about the bandages you wrap around serious wounds. Well I think."

"So Lenne isn't awake yet I guess."

"Nope," Shuin finished attaching another bandage around her forearm, "She's a heavy sleeper. Reminds me of before, when her mother couldn't wake her up every morning," Shuin chuckled.

"Sounds funny. Can I hear the story?" Shuin nodded and placed a finger on her forehead.

*Flashback*

"Lenne! Lenne!! LENNE!!!" Someone came bustling into Lenne's room. She looked quite like Lenne herself. A younger person wich was in the bed pulled her sheets over her head.

"Just.. ten.. more minutes.. mom,"

"Oh no you don't!" Lenne's mother pulled off the sheets of her bed. Lenne turned around as plunged her head under the pillow, "Your boyfriend is here!"

"He's not my boyfriend! Besides. Maybe he wouldn't mind if we were late.."

"I give up!" Lenne's mother pulled Shuin into her room and said, "Can you please wake her up for me please?" Shuin nodded and started to laugh hysterically causing him to fall on the floor. Finally, he lifted himself up and blew in a whistle very loudly. Lenne bolted up straight and gave him an 'I'm going to kill you' face.

"I'm up! Now get out so I can get dressed!" Lenne pointed angrily towards the door as Shuin followed the instructions still laughing even more.

*End Of Flashback*

Yuna started to laugh hysterically as if Shuin did in the flashback and fell on the floor waking Lenne up.

"What?!" Lenne bolted up straight as if she did in the flashback too.

"HAAA... S-since when.. HAAA.. Could you show the past.. HAAA.. By just putting your finger on someone's. HAAAA.. Forehead!!" Lenne looked at Yuna confused.

"Well actually, Lenne toughed me how to do it a looooooooong time before." Yuna nodded and left still laughing loudly.

"What did you show her?" Lenne asked angrily.

"Well a couple of memories."

"Embarrassing?"

"Maybe."

"Oh Rikku!!! I have something to show you about Shuin!!"

"No don't!!" Shuin closed the door in Rikku's face.

"Hey! That was mean!" Rikku pouted and started knocking on the door madly.

"Don't worry Rikku! I'll tell you later!" Lenne gave Shuin a devilish smile as the knocks stopped.

"Okay!"

"Don't dare make her see my most embarrassing flashbacks!"

"Oh we'll see about that!"
