Start--

"Rita...time to wake up!" whispered a soft voice.

"Huh? Time already?"

"Yeah, your Gaurdians are waiting outside. Get dressed and join them" the voice said.

"Alright..." Rita said and sat up. She looked at her mother and smiled, "Todays the day my pilgrimage REALLY Begins! I'm so exicited!"

"Well, your an Hour late..." laughed her mother.

"You let me sleep in?! How could you?!" yelled Rita, as she got dressed.

"I dunno...its just that you looked so peaceful"

"Ohhh mom!" sighed Rita.

After Breakfast, and Outside Rita's House--

"Alright you guys, come back and visit us real soon..." Said Rita's father.

"Yeah! Come show us your new summons!" said a little neighbor girl.

"I love you honey...and im proud of you...oh...i promised i wouldent cry!" said Rita's mom.

"Its okay mom...I..." Rita didnt really know what to say.

"Dont worry! We will take great care of her!" said JT

"Oh...I know you will!" said Rita's mother. She rushed a hug on Rita, JT, and Jonathan, and then went inside. "I love you Rita!!" She yelled out the door.

"I love you too Mom!! And you dad..." she said smiling at him.

"We will see you again...im not worryed" he said.

"Thanks for everything father." She said. They hugged and they went to the dock.

Jonathan borded the ship, and JT stopped halfway on the ramp. He looked back and saw Rita looking back at Kilika. She did the Yevon Bow motion and then turned around and walked toward the boat. She smiled and said "I'm Ready" to JT.

On the Boat--

"This is so cool!" Said JT, running around the boat.

"Argh...not really..." said Jonathan right before throwing up over the edge of the ship.

"Come on, i think its very fun!" said Rita.

"Blurgh!" Jonathan threw up more.

"Ewww....Is that a peice of my cake?!" said JT looking into the waters below.

"Eh...heh heh heh Blurgh!!!" Jonathan vomited even more.

"Serves you right!" JT said and walked away.

"Aww..." said Rita comforting Jonathan.

Besaid Dock--

All 3 got off the boat and walked down the L shaped floating wood blocks. They passed 5 people. 1 of them was Yuna, High Summoner Braska's Daughter. The two summoners smiled at each other.

"Hello. Welcome to Besaid." bowed Yuna.

"Thank you Yuna!" said Rita.

"I...havent even told you my name..."

"Oh...well...every one knows you..." smiled Rita.

"I guess so...whats your name?"

"I'm Rita, from Kilika..."

"I am going there now" Smiled Yuna.

"Good Luck then"

"Yep."

The two summoners bowed to each other and then continued on.

Besaid--

"Cool place" said JT

"Yeah...very nice..." said Jonathan wipeing off some vomit.

"Hmm...an old friend of mine used to live here...i wonder if she still does..." said Rita looking around. "Before we go in the temple can i look around?" she asked.

"Yeah sure...i will be in the Inn...sleeping..." said Jonathan.

"I'll buy us some dinner with the gil your mother gave us. Okay Rita?" said JT

"Sure. Just dont spend it all..." said Rita.

The 3 split up to explore Besaid. It was small, but still intresting. Jonathan went into the inn and slept while JT bought himself some burgers from the Crusaders Lodge. Rita walked into the store and walked to the clerk.

"Excuse me, do you know if any one named Amy lives here any more?" she asked.

"Well duh! I am her. The only Amy on this island and Kilika. I would know...i checked!" laughed the girl.

"Amy...its me...Rita..." she said smiling.

"No! Not Rita! RITA RITA?! Oh my Yevon!!!" she squeled. "Why are you here??"

"Well, ive become a summoner." Rita said with great pride.

"No way! That is so cool!"

"Yeah! I am here to get my next Summon..."

"Oh! oh! Can i come with please??"

"Well...thats why i wanted to find you...i wanted to know if you wanted to become my gaurdian."

"What???? Me???" Amy asked.

"Yep" said Rita.

"Oh my gosh! Of course! I...oh...i mean...Let me jusut get my stuff okay? Meet you at the temple in...15 minutes?"

"Sure...i will be inside praying for a safe journey"

"Okay!" Said Amy. She then left her little shop and ran into her house.



!5 minutes later in Temple--

"Hey Rita...what took so long?" asked Amy. "and who are they?"

"This is JT...and Jonathan...I had to get them first...They are my other Gaurdians"

"Hi! I'm Amy!" She said happily.

"So your the new Gaurdian? Hmm..." Said Jonathan looking her over.

Amy had shoulder length hair that was light pinkish. Her cloths where red based, and she had one a gold belt the was big.

"Yep!" She said smiling.

"Well...shall we go get a summon?" asked JT.

"Yep Lets go" said Rita.

All 4 went up the stairs and into the Cloister of Trials.

1 hour later--

"Score!" said JT as Rita came out of the Chamber of Faith.

"Great Job Rita!" laughed Amy.

"Yeah..." said Jonathan.

"Well, that wasent so hard..." she laughed.

As they exited the temple a man came running to them.

"Lady Rita! Rita! Rita!" he stopped infront of her and breathed heavily. "Its...Sin...He attacked Kilika...!" he said to her.

"What...No! Mom! Dad!" she said. Without looking at each other all 4 ran to the beach. They got to the dock and asked the women when the next boat would come. Luckily a boat was just arriving. They boarded it and took the ride back to Kilika.

Kilika--

Rita jumped out of the boat before it even stopped. JT followed her, and after the baot stopped Jonathan and Amy did too. The wooden paths were almsot completely gone. People were crying and stuff every where. Rita ran to the path that lead to her house. It was destoryed. Some one came from behind the group.

"Rita..." said a little girl.

"What? Where are they? Where is my mom and dad?" asked Rita.

"They...Sin...he...They didnt stand a chance..." said the little girl.

"N....No....they...they cant be....NO!" screamed Rita.

"Rita..." said Amy, putting her hand on her shoudler.

"Lady Yuna...she sent them already...I am so very sorry Rita..." the little girl said.

"No! NO!" rita cried over and over again.

Some one approaced Rita and the gang.

"Rita...we met in Besaid..." said Yuna.

"Yuna...Thank you...for sendning my parents..." she cried.

"I'm sorry...you had to lose them..."

"Its...no...its not okay! I...I Hate Sin!" Rita screamed and ran off.

"Rita wait!" Yelled JT. He tried to chase after her but Jonathan grabbed him.

"She needs to be alone" he said.

The next day--

Rita looked at JT, Jonathan, and Amy.

"This is no longer just a Pilgrimage...this is Revenge...." said Rita, her once happy smile gone.

"Rita...dont talk like that" said Amy.

"Shut up!" Rita yelled.

Amy backed away. "You...You dont have to yell at me! I lost my parents to ya know!" She screamed and ran off.

"A..Amy wait! I didnt mean it!" said Rita.

"I'll go talk to her..." said JT

JT Chased after Amy while Jonathan stayed and spoke to Rita. Finally both girls realized Rita was jusut mad and sad right now. They all boarded the boat to Luca and seperated. JT and Amy went up to the little Deck thing, while Jonathan stayed at the bow. Rita watched in the back as Kilika disapeared behind them.

"I will avenge you..." said Rita quietly.

End--

Awwww....poor Rita. Almost cried writing that part. Oh well...Some Fiend Fighting is coming up, just in case your wondering...lol.
