"Happy birthday Yuna!" Rikku exclaimed.
"Thanks..." Yuna smiled. Rikku began to cut the cake.
"Time for some cake!"
"Thanks you guys, but I'm not hungry... Maybe I'll have some later ok?" Yuna said and began to walk to her room.
"You sure?" Paine asked.
"I'm good... thanks." Yuna walked into her room and locked the door. Paine and Rikku looked at each other.
"Is it just me, or is Yunie acting weird?" Rikku asked. "She is acting different..." Paine shrugged, and then looked at the clock. "Oh, I'm supposed to meet Nooj, Baralai, and Gippal now. Wanna come?" "Sure!" Rikku put the cake in the refrigerator. She went to Yuna's room and knocked on the door. "Yunie? We're gonna meet the guys... wanna come?" "No, you two go ahead." Yuna replied. "You okay?" Rikku asked. "Yeah, I'm fine. You two and can go ahead." Yuna said. Rikku and Paine shrugged, and then left. Yuna sat at her desk. I wish you were here... she thought in her head. I miss you... She opened a drawer in her desk and pulled out her diary. She opened it and grabbed a pen.
Dear Diary,
Today was my birthday. Had a small party with Rikku and Paine. It was nice of them to get me a cake....even though I probably won't eat it... You know, I just realized that I always feel so unhappy. Is it because he left me..? I don't know anymore... Well, I suppose I will have a piece of cake even though Rikku and Paine left to meet the guys. Just to show them that I appreciate it, I'll have a small piece...
Yuna
Yuna closed her diary and put it back in her desk. She stepped out of her room and went into the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and pulled out the cake. She placed it on the table and went to get a knife to cut the cake. She opened the drawer full of knives. She began to reach for the small one.
"Ouch!" Yuna exclaimed. She pulled her hand back quickly and looked at her finger. Blood slowly dripped from it. She looked in the drawer and saw a blood-stained knife near the handle of the one she was reaching for. She went to the sink and washed her hand and the knife. Then she cut a piece of cake and began to eat.
When she finished eating, she put the rest of the cake back in the refrigerator. Then she picked up her plate, fork, and knife and took them to the sink. She began to wash the dishes. But she paused when she held the knife. She looked at it as light reflected off the blade. She dried it and opened the knife drawer. She slowly placed the knife back in. She just stood there, staring at all the knives. She reached for the one that had cut her earlier. She looked at her finger. It was no longer bleeding. She looked at the knife in her hand. She slowly began to position the knife near her wrist. She shivered as the cold steel touched her skin. She pulled the knife down and flinched. Blood flowed out of her wrist. She washed the knife and put it back. Then she washed her cut. She looked at what she had just done to herself. She placed a towel around her wrist to dry it. She stared at the deep cut. She traced the cut with her finger. Suddenly, the door opened.
"Hey Yunie! We're back!" Rikku said.
"So, uh, what did you guys do?" Yuna asked, with her hands behind her back.
"Oh, we all just took a walk around the Moonflow. We even got to see the sunset."
"Glad you guys had fun. I tried the cake. It was delicious."
"Glad you liked it!" Rikku smiled.
"Well, I'm kinda tired. I'm going to bed now okay?" Yuna said as she headed to her room.
"Goodnight."
Yuna closed and locked the door. She looked at her wrist again. The cut was so visible and deep. She thought about what Rikku and Paine would think if they saw the cut...
'Yunie? Are you okay?'
'It's nothing really...'
'How can it be nothing...?' Yuna did not want them to be lecturing her. So she decided she wouldn't tell them. She then got into bed. Why did I do that? Why did I cut myself? Could unhappiness really take me this far...? She thought this until she drifted to sleep.
Rikku's voice woke Yuna the next morning.
"Yunie?" Rikku knocked on the door. "Yunie, are you awake?" Yuna sat up in bed and stretched. "I am now." Yuna said. Rikku laughed.
"Sorry... anyway Lulu and Wakka are inviting us to Besaid! They're having a baby shower!"
"Oh my gosh are you serious?"
"Yeah! So we should go!"
"Okay! I'll get ready." Yuna heard Rikku's footsteps as she got out of bed. She went to one of her drawers and looked at the dress spheres. Hmm... need to dress nice today... ah whatever... I'll just wear my gunner dress sphere! Yuna reached for the gunner dress sphere, but the cut on her wrist made her stop. She suddenly changed her mind and took her songstress dress sphere. The arm warmers would hide the cut.
"Okay, I'm ready." Yuna said as she stepped out of her room.
"Oh, they didn't request any entertainment." Paine said.
"It's okay. It'll be a surprise." Yuna said.
When they arrived at Besaid, Yuna sang for everyone. And everyone loved her performance. Afterwards, they ate and chatted.
"Yuna, you guys gonna stay here for the night?" Wakka asked.
"Sure!" Yuna said.
"Great! I'll have beds made for you in the lodge later. So you tell me when you get tired, ya?"
"Okay." They all continued to celebrate until it got late. Paine and Rikku headed to the lodge. Wakka and Lulu began to go to their place. But Yuna headed to the beach.
"Yuna?" Yuna turned.
"Where are you going?" Lulu asked.
"Oh, I'm just going to the beach for awhile."
"Don't take too long. It's late you know."
"I'll be fine."
When Yuna arrived at the beach, she removed her boots and dipped her feet into the sea. The water was cold, but it was nice. After relaxing for a bit, Yuna stood and stared at the sea. The moon reflected off the water and made the water shimmer. Yuna suddenly thought of something. She whistled. It echoed through the quiet beach. She turned when she saw pyreflies. But it wasn't what she expected.
"Hello again." The Fayth said.
"Oh, hello."
"You miss him huh?" Yuna remained silent and stared at her wrist.
"I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait for him a little longer."
"Isn't there a way to see him now? Just for a little?"
"The only way to see him now, is at the Farplane."
"But, I can't handle this anymore!" she took off her arm warmer and showed the Fayth her cut. "Look what I've done! Look what unhappiness has done to me! Please let me see him."
"I'm sorry... There isn't anything I can do right now. I know how painful it is for you"
"No! You don't know how painful this is for me!" Yuna turned her back on the Fayth and stared into the sky. The bright shining moon showed the tears that Yuna shed.
"I'm sorry..." The Fayth said. Then he vanished to give Yuna some time alone.
"Happy birthday Yuna!" Rikku exclaimed.
"Thanks..." Yuna smiled. Rikku began to cut the cake.
"Time for some cake!"
"Thanks you guys, but I'm not hungry... Maybe I'll have some later ok?" Yuna said and began to walk to her room.
"You sure?" Paine asked.
"I'm good... thanks." Yuna walked into her room and locked the door. Paine and Rikku looked at each other.
