Thanks everyone for reviewing Trapped in Final Fantasy 10, I never really planned to make a sequel but here I am again making a sequel to a Final Fantasy fic I made. This one will try to focus more on Romance than on Action/Adventure.

Forget Me Not

Chapter 1, Kilika Inbound

I had said goodbye to some of my closest friends just a few minutes ago, my only friends. Now I was on this boat heading for Kilika Island. I had not been there or at least I don't remember being there aside from the Sphere I have with me.

The ship was still getting ready for departure so I wandered around it for a couple of minutes. The new clothes I had bought were pretty comfortable. I was wearing my Gunner outfit as I called it. The outfit was a blue vest with a zipper running the entire way up the front. I had a scarf wrapped loosely around my neck that blew around freely in the sea wind. The pants I wore were short with a couple satchels wrapped around the right leg and around the waist. There was a metal shield tied to my left hip and a holster on my right hip for my pistol. I still had the gloves from before and I wore this with pride.

Eventually after the long wait the ship departed. It was a rather large crew aboard. It consisted of about twenty or so people including me. I was getting all sorts of these people coming over to me thanking for helping to kill Sin. Even with this costume change hiding the facts that I helped save the world wasn't something easily hidden.

Not that I didn't like the attention. I had always felt the Al Bhed were heavily hated but now since the collapse of Yevon and the death of Sin people seemed to think the Al Bhed weren't as bad as they thought they were.

The first half hour of the journey wasn't very exciting. My life really stared with action and without it anymore I was having trouble adjusting. Then one unexpected surprise brought me out of a daydream I was having while staring out at the ocean.

Someone grabbed me from behind and held me tightly. I had no idea who would do this so I instinctively turned and flung my aggressor off of my back. Once I had a look at who did it I was truly surprised.

"Is that any way to treat a friend?" she said to me.

"Rikku? How did you get here?" I asked out of amazement.

"I thought you might need some company on your little journey so I decided to tag along." She said walking up to me.

"You really don't have to, you know? I mean you probably have stuff you'd rather be doing." I told her.

"Well actually in addition to helping you I'm gonna introduce people to the wonders of machina." She said proudly.

"Well I guess you can come along." I told her as she leapt at me hugging me tightly. I hadn't noticed it before but she changed her appearance too. Her hair was slightly let down with a couple "tails" tied in the front and side. She was wearing just a yellow bikini top and a brown mini skirt with two straps showing above them.

"What's with the new look?" We both asked at the exact same time.

After explaining a few things to one another we both decided to take a rest near the engine room.

"Why is she here?" I thought to myself. "It's gonna be so weird with her going along with me. I thought I told her I didn't want to try this love thing yet."

Then the ship began to rock slightly. What was going on now?

"What was that?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure." She said standing and running out into the hallway.

I ran out after her and she was facing these two men with what looked like machina guns but more like rifles than my pistol.

"Who are you?" she asked them hunched over in an attack position.

"Hey she's a looker ain't she? Must have something good under that skirt for us to steal." The one on the right said.

The two of them were clad in black clothes and gloves and had masks of the same color.

"Hey!" I said drawing my gun and running into the fray.

The two men shot at me and hit me dead on. It hurt more than I expected it to. I fired back at them and they both seemed a little hurt by it. Rikku then lunged forward with these two knives that had circles around the hilt and cut the two down.

"Handy little items I picked up." She said celebrating. She holstered them at her hips.

"Who are these guys?" I asked my friend.

"No clue Shinn. Maybe there are more." She told me running ahead up to the deck.

"Rikku, don't go by yourself!" I shouted to her.

I ran up after her and she had already taken down a few more of them. I shot a couple more and soon just about all these guys were down.

"They were probably thieves. Well so much for them." I said walking over to her.

"They probably didn't think two legendary Guardians would be onboard." She said happily.

We looked ahead and an island was in the distance. I thought it might be Kilika but Rikku's expression told me otherwise.

"We must have gotten blown off course from those guys." She said.

It turned out we were and now we were all on this strange island. The captain of the boat told us that a storm would soon hit the ocean so we had to stay here for the time being.

We all kinda camped out on the deck of the boat for the night.

"Hey Shinn, I forgot to tell you something important back there." She said to me.

"What is it?" I asked her.

"Well I've noticed that since Sin has died the Sphere Grid we've been using isn't working. So basically everything we learned from before is kaput."

That explains why that gunshot I took hurt so much. My old self had more vitality and stamina to survive it better than now.

"Well that's a real bummer." I pouted.

"But I've come up with an alternative way to use all the skills from before. I've come up with a Garment Grid to use. We can change what sets of skills and weapons we use with this and a nice change of costume too." She said showing off her body slightly.

"Well I do have a sword and another costume with me..." before I finished she butted in with a piece of information.

"I know. I converted it into this." She explained holding up this small sphere. "This is for a Warrior. Take it."

I took the sphere from her small hands and placed it in my pocket.

"Lights out!" someone yelled as the lights on the ship shut down.

"Time to sleep." She said stretching with a big yawn.

I too lay down a little further away from her and began to sleep.

-------------------------------------------------

"He doesn't seem too happy to see me." I thought looking over at him. Not that I came out here to be with him, but he's beginning to act like a meanie.

I know it's short but please review on what you think about it. And I don't own FFX-2 yet so I don't how the Garment Grid works outside battle, like how they get the spheres and stuff like that.
