Scene Twelve: Lulu throws a Fit

[Braska and Seymour bury the chocobo, and decide to split up yet again: Braska will try to find another bird, while Seymour tries once more to attain Yuna's slipper. Meanwhile, Lulu discovers Rin has visited Shiva. She drags the Aeon/girl from the tower.]

Lulu: What did I clearly say?

Children must listen.

Shiva: No, no, please! [Lulu readies a firaga spell]

Lulu: What were you not to do?

Children must see—

Shiva: No!

Lulu: And learn. [She feints to cast the spell, then reconsiders.]

Why could you not obey?

Children should listen.

What have I been to you?

What would you have me be?

Exotic, like an Al Bhed?

Ah, but I am evil.

I am ugly.

I embarrass you.

Shiva: No!

Lulu: You are ashamed of me.

Shiva: No!

Lulu: You are ashamed.

You don't understand. [She throws the spell away. It hits an unsuspecting unnamed character who screams and dies.]

Shiva: It was lonely atop that tower.

Lulu: I was not company enough?

Shiva: I am not a girl; I am an Aeon! I wish to use my powers! I wish to see the world!

Lulu: Don't you know what's out there in the world?

Someone has to shield you from the world.

Stay with me.

Al Bhed wait there in the world, it's true.

Al Bhed, yes, but fiends and Sin-spawn, too.

Stay at home.

I am home.

Who out there could love you more than I?

What out there that I cannot supply?

Stay with me.

Stay with me,

The world is a frightening whirl.

Stay a girl, while you can be a girl.

With me.

[Shiva refuses to stay with Lulu. In a rage, Lulu casts Fira and stuns the Aeon, and then casts her into Sanubia. Meanwhile, Rin comes to visit the tower, where Lulu surprises him and casts darkness on him. Then for good measure, she casts zombie so he can't heal himself with one of his potions. Elsewhere, Tidus runs into Rikku, who is now decked out with knifes, grenades, fire gems, etc. Tidus shows her a golden blitzball from the giant's house, and tells her of the magical music spheres in the giant's castle. Rikku calls him a liar, and Tidus promptly goes back up the beanstalk to fetch the spheres.]
