Paine stared up at the ceiling, thoughts of the previous day that she spent with Baralai filled her mind and the kiss that still lingered on her lips made her feel as if she was lighter than air. She had seen Rikku come into the ship carrying many bags but apparently it was too dark to see the magnificent smile adorning the warriors face.

But this was Paine who never showed real emotion, who never smiled. Although she had a rough exterior Paine would risk her life for her friends and once you get to know her she was a happy go lucky person who loved life…

Who were they kidding this was Paine.

She wasn't sure what she saw in Baralai or what he had seen in her but she had to admit she liked the taste of his lips and the touch of his hands. Paine was pulled out of her thoughts when Rikku's voice sounded through the room.

"Paine have you seen Yunie?" As Paine sat up and looked at the blond, Rikku noticed the smile that played on her lips.

"What did I miss?" Rikku asked placing her hand onto her hip. Paine realizing that she had a huge smile plastered on her face pretended not to know what Rikku was talking about.

"About a half a dozen clowns hopped through the room" Paine said sarcastically. Rikku walked towards Paine and sat on her bed.

"Hey! That's not funny! Seriously what happened to you that you look so happy?" Paine glared at Rikku.

"None of your business if you keep asking me stupid private questions I'll be forced to take away some respect points." Rikku stood up fast almost knocking Paine over as Paine tried to regain her composure Rikku spoke.

"I'm sorry if I always butt into your private matters! I just wanted to know what made you so darn happy! Excuse me for trying to be a good friend!" Rikku placed her head in her hands and sobs could be heard coming from the poor blond. Paine stood up and walked to her placing a hand on her shoulder she began to apologize for what she had said to her, but Rikku wouldn't have it.

"I don't care anymore Paine if you want to push your friends around go ahead but I wont take it!" Rikku shoved Paine's hand off her shoulder and began to walk out of the door when…

"Alright Rikku I'll tell you" Paine waited anxiously for Rikku's well known squeal but when nothing came Paine knew that she was really pissed off at her.

"Well…" Rikku spoke sitting on the bed.

"Well…do you remember the day in Luca when we were talking about our hearts beating fast around a certain someone." After receiving a nod from Rikku, Paine continued with her story.

"After everyone left I started talking to Baralai we got bored and we decided to go to lunch. When we got there we spoke about old. When it was time to leave he walked me back here. Along the way we spoke about our past experiences on the Crimson Squad and all the fun we had. When we arrived here…well I'll leave that to your imagination." Paine expected to be tackled by the noisy blond yet nothing came. The first thing that came to Paine's mind was that Rikku might have actually grown up.

"Rikku…that someone that made my heart pound was Baralai" Rikku looked at Paine. Her eyes were bulged out of their sockets and after staring at Paine a large 'thump' was heard.

Rikku had fainted.

Tidus looked at Yuna. Never had a girl asked him to see a scary movie, but Yuna did. He watched her jump high out of her seat and every now and then she would hide in his shoulder. He didn't mind though it was his way of being close to her. He liked the fact that something scared her, not that he thought she wouldn't be scared of anything. He made a mental note that if she ever picked on him he would be able to use her frightfulness of scary movies as a counter attack.

By the end of the movie Tidus's hand had been crushed from Yuna's hard grasp. After a thousand 'I am so sorrys' from Yuna, they walked carefree out of the movie sphere theater.

"That was the scariest movie I've ever seen!" Yuna cried holding tightly to Tidus's forearm. Tidus seemed un-fazed by the painful grasp Yuna had on his arm and replied.

"You know you picked it out" Tidus replied some what laughing. Yuna only sighed.

"Well I didn't think it would be that scary, those zombies were so realistic." At Yuna's comment Tidus burst out laughing.

"During the pilgrimage we ran into dozens of zombies and you didn't seem as scared to see them as you were to see those zombies on the screen" Yuna rolled her eyes and slapped his arm.

"That's different…I had the Aeons back then" Tidus laughed again receiving another slap on the arm and a very pissed off looking girlfriend.

"I'm sorry I didn't mean it!" Yuna sighed wrapping her arms around his neck.

"No you're not" After kissing for a couple of minutes Yuna spoke again.

"Also back then…I had Auron fighting beside us." Seeing the jealousy that crawled up Tidus's back Yuna ran towards the airship.

Upon entering the airship Yuna noticed the blond who was laying face first on the floor and the warrior who from the look on her face was enjoying the fact Rikku had fainted onto the cold hard wooden floor.

"What happened here?" she asked kneeling down to her sprawled out cousin.

"She uh…kinda fainted" Paine replied as she watched Yuna lifted Rikku to her feet.

"Well I can see that, I meant how did she end up on the floor?" Paine sighed wondering whether to tell Yuna and Tidus about her and Baralai.

Paine wasn't even sure if there was anything going on with the two of them. She wasn't even sure if he enjoyed their little kiss.

Although she did enjoy it.

Breathing in deeply Paine Braced herself for the story she was going to tell her good friend Yuna.

"Well…I am…kindaIthinkseeingBaralai." Yuna looked at Paine. Yuna's eyes held no response and she continued to stare blankly at Paine.

"I'm sorry Paine but is what you just told me supposed to surprise me?" Paine chuckled. Noticing that Tidus hadn't talked at all she desided to ask him his thoughts on the matter.

"I don't know the guy but…is this a good thing or a bad thing?" He was lost. Yuna lifted her head and looked at Rikku who still seemed dazed.

"I'm more surprised that you can talk so fast. All those times we visited Baralai you always seemed different. I kind of knew something was going to happen between you two."

"And what if this isn't such a good thing?"

"Then we'll just have to wait and see."

YIPPY ALL done with this chappy! Thanx for the reviews!
