Scene Five: Lulu and Shiva
[Lulu visits Shiva, and makes Shiva grow her ice hair into a staircase so Lulu can get into the tower. Rin observes this and resolves to come back and try for himself to see the " naked ice girl."]
Scene Six: Jecht Meets a Messy End
[In the meantime, Braska pursues Rikku and her moogle. He arrives at Granny's cottage and finds something amiss. Jecht is there. He has apparently locked Rikku, Anima (Rikku's granny, for those who've forgotten the cast list), and the moogle in the closet after doing some unpleasant things to them of an undisclosed nature, because this is a PG-13 script. Jecht then passed out on the bed. Anyway, Braska breaks in and frees the captives. Anima can't believe Braska didn't already stab Jecht, and grabs her butcher knife and proceeds to stab him herself. She then suggests that instead of just killing him, they should put rocks in his stomach and sew the wound up and let him die an agonizing death, but Braska convinces her to just put Jecht out of his misery. [A/N: We all knew Anima was scary.] In thanks for freeing them, Rikku agrees to give Braska her moogle, which he had previously tried to steal. She takes Jecht's headband as a trophy, and begins carrying Anima's butcher knife. Rikku explains to Braska what happened.]
Rikku: Mother said, 'straight ahead,
Not to delay, or things go wrong.'
I should have heeded her advice.
But he seemed so strong.
And he showed me things, many beautiful things,
That I hadn't thought to explore.
They were off my path, so I never had dared.
I had been so careful, I never had cared.
And he made me feel excited…
Well, excited and scared.
When he said,
'Come in,' with that sickening grin,
How could I know what was in store?
Once his teeth were bared, though, I really got scared.
Well, excited and scared…
But he drew me close, and he swallowed me down,
Down a dark, slimy path, where lie secrets that I never want to know,
And when everything familiar seemed to disappear forever,
At the end of the path, was Granny once again,
So we wait in the dark, until someone sets us free,
And we're brought into the light,
And we're back at the start…
And I know things now, many valuable things,
That I hadn't known before.
Do not put your faith in a cactus with arms.
It will not protect you or keep you from harms.
And take extra care with strangers, even flowers have their dangers,
And though scary is exciting,
Strong is different than good.
Now I know, don't be scared.
Granny is right, just be prepared.
Isn't it nice to know a lot? …
And a little bit… not.
