Act Two
Scene One: So Happy!
[Later. We are back at the little village in the Calm Lands. Tidus and Wakka are noticeably richer, and Seymour and Braska have a young child. Tidus has hired a harp-armed musician to play the spheres for him as well. We can also see the palace in Bevelle where Yuna now lives with Auron and her stepfamily. Suddenly, the same small man appears as in the first act. He says:]
Maechen: Once upon a time—
Later…
Yuna: I wish...
Maechen: Still in Spira—
Yuna: More than anything…
Maechen: --lived a young bride—
Yuna: More than life...
Maechen: --the lad Tidus—
Yuna: More than servants…
Tidus: I wish…
Maechen: --and the shopkeeper and his family—
Baby: Waaah!
Tidus: No, I miss…
Yuna, Braska: I wish…
Baby: Waaah!
Tidus: More than anything...
Yuna, Braska, Tidus: More than the stars…
Seymour [to baby]: There, there…
Yuna: I wish to sponsor a Festival.
Baby: Waaah!
Braska: More than life…
Tidus: I miss…
Yuna: The time has come for a Festival…
Baby: Waaah!
Seymour: Shh…
Braska [Over]: More than save spheres…
Yuna: And a Ball...
Tidus: I miss my kingdom up in the sky.
Yuna, Braska: More than anything…
Seymour: I wish we had more room…
Tidus: Play, harp, um, guy…
[A bored looking harp-armed musician starts playing.]
Braska: Another room…
Maechen: But despite some minor inconveniences, they were all content...
Yuna: I never thought I'd wed a monk…
Auron: I never thought I'd find perfection…
Both: I never thought I could be so happy!
Yuna: Not an unhappy moment since...
Tidus, Wakka: I didn't think we'd be this rich...
Auron: Not a conceivable objection…
Braska, Seymour: I never thought we'd have a baby…
Yuna, Auron, Wakka, Tidus: I never thought I could be so happy!
Braska, Seymour [Over]: I'm so happy!
Donna: Happy here,
Happy still,
Happy ever after—
Donna and Clones: We're so happy you're so happy!
Just as long as you stay happy,
We'll stay happy!
Yuna, Auron: Not one tear…
Wakka: Pots of gil...
Tidus: Friends are near...
Braska, Seymour: Little gurgles...
Auron: Darling, I must go now... Farewell.
Wakka [pointing at Rumoluf]: We should really sell him, ya?
Braska: Where's the cheesecloth?
All Others: Wishes may bring problems,
Such that you regret them.
All: Better that, though,
Than to never get them…
Yuna: I'm going to be a perfect wife!
Tidus [Over]: I'm going to be a perfect son!
Seymour, Wakka: I'm going to be a perfect … [Both look confused]
Braska: I'm going to be a perfect father!
I'm so happy!
Yuna, Tidus, Wakka, Seymour: I'm going to see that he (she)
Is so happy!
All: I never thought I'd love my life!
I would have settled for another!
Yuna: Then to become a wife…
Tidus, Wakka: Then to be set for life...
Braska, Seymour: Then to finally get a child…
All: That fortune smiled...
I'm so happy.
Braska, Seymour, Tidus, Wakka: We had to go through thick and thin.
Donna, Clones: We had to lose a lot to win.
Yuna: I ventured out and saw within.
All: I never thought I'd be so much I hadn't been!
I'm so hap—[CRASH!]
[Braska's hut is more or less destroyed. Lulu shows up, and Braska accuses her of attacking them, until she points out that her garden was also destroyed. She also observes that the damage appears to be some sort of footprint.]
Braska: Who could do such a thing?
Lulu: Anything that leaves a footprint that large is no 'who.'
Braska: Do you think it was a kaar? [A/N Kaar=a type of FF fiend]
Lulu: A kaar?
Kaars are sweet.
Besides, you ever see a kaar with forty-foot feet?
Seymour: Elemental?
Lulu: No scorch marks--usually they're linked.
Braska: Chimera?
Lulu: Imaginary.
Seymour, Braska: Juggernaut?
Lulu: Extinct.
Braska: Giant?
Lulu: Possible.
Very, very possible…
Maechen: More than possible. Their fears would prove to be well founded…
[Braska tells Wakka and Tidus about the giant. Wakka points out no one seemed to care when there was a dead giant in his backyard. Braska then sets off to alert the royal family of the giant's presence. Yuna is concerned but doesn't feel she should leave Bevelle while Sir Auron is gone. Soon after Braska returns, Rikku shows up at his hut. She explains that her house collapsed because "a wind blew it in," and her mother is missing, so she's off to see her Granny again. Braska and Seymour decide they should escort her, since it seems unsafe to remain in the ruins of their hut. Despite promising Wakka he'd stay home, Tidus also heads into the woods to whack things with his sword. The fayth alert Yuna that something is amiss at her mother's grave, so she disguises herself as a peasant and goes to investigate.]
Braska: Into the woods,
It's always when
You think at last you're through, and then
Into the woods you go again
To take another journey.
Seymour: Into the woods,
The weather's clear,
We've been before, we've naught to fear...
Into the woods, away from here—
Tidus: Into the woods, to whack a giant--!
Rikku: Into the woods to Grandmother's house...
Braska: Into the woods,
The path is straight,
No reason, then, to hesitate—
Seymour: Into the woods,
It's not so late,
It's just another journey...
Yuna: Into the woods,
But not too long:
The skies are strange,
The winds are strong.
Into the woods to see what's wrong...
Tidus: Into the woods to slay the giant!
Seymour: Into the woods to shield the child...
Rikku: To flee the winds...
Braska: To find a future...
Seymour: To shield...
Tidus: To slay...
Rikku: To flee...
Braska: To find...
Yuna: To fix...
Seymour: To hide…
Rikku: To move…
Tidus: To battle…
Yuna: To see what the trouble is...
[Shiva screams, offstage.]
