Chapter 3
The sky began to glow as the group went to the beach for their little celebration.
"Where's Virak?" Yuna asked as she set down the food on a picnic cloth.
"Who cares?" Lexi scoffed, as she sat down with Evelyn.
"You should, Lexi. He's your father." Yuna said, frowning. Lexi didn't give an answer.
"Lexi did you cook?" Leif said, sniffing the food.
"Umm...yah...you got a problem?" Lexi said, raising her eyebrow.
"Then...it isn't edible..." Rick said, smirking.
"Starve then!" Lexi frowned. Shinra watched the two; actually, he was watching Evelyn.
"...I think I'd rather starve then eat this shit!!" Rick exclaimed, lifting the acid crumbled spoon.
"hey, it's not that bad Rick..." Leif said, with a spoonful of Lexi's cooking in his mouth.
"see? Leif can eat it," Lexi said,
"that's only cause he has an iron and fat stomach, I have a delicate stomach." Rick smirked again, patting his stomach.
"You better eat it Rick!!" Lexi's eyes flared and turned green, as she turned on all fours.
"No way! If it's so acidic that it'll eat the spoon!" Rick smiled, "I might loose these sexy abs of mine."
"Why...you..." Lexi glared, and stood up.
"Uh oh..." Rick dropped his plate in the sand and made a run for it.
"RIKAL! COME BACK HERE!!!" Lexi screamed as she ran after him. Evelyn smiled as she watched the two. Shinra took in a deep breath and took two plates full of food and walked over to Evelyn.
"Hey," Shinra said shakily, smiling his goofy yet charming smile.
"Oh hi." Evelyn turned to him and smiled. Shinra's face turned pink and his heart began to pound.
"You should eat something..." Shinra handed her the plate that had been eaten away from Lexi's cooking. They both stared at it, shocked. Evelyn smiled, and laughed. Shinra looked up at her, and chuckled himself.
"Aren't you going to sit with me, and watch the sun set?" Evelyn smiled up at him.
"S-s-sure!" Shinra sits down beside her and stares out to the orange and pink horizon, then his eyes divert to Evelyn; who was gazing dreamily out at sea.
"It's so beautiful isn't it?" Evelyn breathed, smiling dreamily; looking at him.
"Yah, you are..." Shinra smiled, admiring her.
"What?" Evelyn wanted to make sure what he had said.
"Oh! Uhh! Nothing!" Shinra smiled goofily, and blushed, putting his hand behind his head, then laughed nervously.
"RICK YOU'RE GONNA EAT ALL OF IT!!" Shinra and Evelyn turn behind them and see Rick's head at the end of the pot, with Lexi trying to push his face in. his hands were on the rim, trying to push himself from the incredible Hulk strength this little girl had.
"No..." Rick groaned and gritted his teeth, as his face was pushed in closer to the pot.
"It's...coming...closer..." He said though his teeth.
"It has a name you know..." Lexi smiled evilly, "It's called, RICK STEW!" Lexi shouted at him and shoved his face into the pot. You could have heard Rick's bubbled scream inside of the pot. Shinra chuckled.
"Are those two..." Evelyn started.
"Yah, always." Shinra answered, smiling. Then he looked over at her, she gave him a worried look.
"Oh, don't worry about it. Lexi would never try to kill us or anything like that, and what ever Rick does he deserves what he gets. And usually, he gets hurt." Shinra chuckles nervously. Suddenly the bubbles in the pot stopped bubbling.
"Hey, Lexi. You should let him go, ya?" Chappu said, slowly approaching her.
"No! he's gonna eat all of it!" Lexi snapped, at him.
"Well, he's drowning, I really think you should let him go, ya?" Chappu said taking hold of one of her arms gently.
"Let go of me!" Lexi screamed, and threw Chappu with her one hand, while the other dunked Rick's head deeper into the pot. Chappu frowned, got up and grabbed Lexi's arm.
"Let go! Let go! Let go!" Lexi waved her arm around, trying to throw Chappu off.
"Shiiinnnraaa!! Heeelllpp meeee, yyaaa???" Chappu exclaimed as he tried to hold on.
"Sorry, bout this..." Shinra sighed, and made his way towards the two. He examined what was to do, and then he took hold of Lexi's other arm. She squirmed and screamed. Shinra and Chappu tried to pull her away from the pot.
"Tidus!!!!" Shinra shouted, "help!!" Tidus got up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"One...two... three...HEAVE!!" Shinra counted and the three boys heaved her from the pot. Rick's head hung from the rim to the liquid substance.
"Leif! Get your bro, ya?" Chappu exclaimed, as he struggled to keep Lexi back. Leif nodded, and pulled Rick by his collar out of the pot. Leif went down to check if Rick was breathing.
"He's not breathing!"
"Give him CPR then!" Shinra exclaimed.
"That is wrong on so many levels!" Leif shouted back.
"Kick him or something!" Tidus said, "hurry this is hard!" Leif nodded, and kicked Rick in the stomach. Rick coughed up the liquid and curled into a ball. He started whimpering.
"uhhh, you guys better come over here!" Leif called, the four of them ran towards them.
"Are...you ok, man?" Shinra asked.
"Dude..." Tidus, pushed Rick onto his back. Tears were flowing down his cheeks.
"Looks like you kicked him pretty hard, Leif..." Lexi said.
"heh, sorry man." Leif shrugged.
"It's not that..." Rick sniffed, "it's the acid in my stomach...it BURNS!" The three other boys looked strait at Lexi. Her eye turned green, and she smiled evilly.
"DIE RICK!!" She pounced on him, and started fighting.
"The pain!!!!"
"there they go again..."
"RIKAL!" Rikku exclaimed, angrily.
"Alexandria!!" Yuna frowned.
"uh oh..." the two of them stopped.
"You two are going to be-" Yuna started.
"My guardians!" Evelyn interrupted.
"what?!" Everyone stared at her, surprised at her sudden outburst.
"Gaurdians? But...Sin has been destroyed!" Virak appeared, as he scoffed, "there's no need to worry about that, Yuna has taken care of it." Tidus glared at him.
"Sin has been, but it's reborn. I believe the New Yevon have learned to Summon it. I saw it, with my own eyes!" Evelyn exclaimed, some what annoyed with the man.
"Sin...I'm coming then." Shinra said, heroically. Lexi and Rick snickered,
"yah, just want the girl to fall all over you, isn't that right?" Rick snickered, nudging him on the side.
"that's so lame..." Lexi laughed.
"shut up you two..." Shinra sighed; he knew they were right.
"Hmmmm...maybe if I..." Tidus mumbled; Yuna looked at him curiously.
"hey! you mean you want me as your guardian?!" Lexi smiled, "ohhhh!!! I'm sooo excited!!" Virak frowned at her comment.
"I'm coming, too!" Rick and Leif exclaimed, smiling. They wouldn't want to miss a chance to make fun of Lexi's every little mistake. Actually, that's just Rick.
"but, the game starts in three months! We need practice!!" Chappu exclaimed.
"C'mon ol' Chap," Rick smiled, and placed his arm around Chappu's shoulders, "what's more important than seeing the world with beautiful girls, making fun of Lexi and becoming famous?"
"that's the same thing if we win the tournament, Rick." Chappu sighed, shaking his head.
"oh...well...haha..." Rick smiled, stupidly.
"Hey! I'm coming too!" Tidus exclaimed.
"why? Shouldn't you stay here with my mom?" Lexi looked at him, "aren't you like, head over heels for her?" She shuddered at the thought.
"yes, but you see if I find a way to get back into the past I can actually marry Yuna." Tidus smiled, the teens just looked at him funny.
"are you sure you want to go, sweetie?" Yuna asked, approaching Lexi.
"yeah! I'm sure. I mean, if you can save the world, it's only my job as your daughter to do the same." Lexi smiled sweetly as possible, trying to convince her mother in letting her leave.
"I have a feeling that's not true..." Yuna sighed, but smiled.
"my daughter is not going to become a guardian!" Virak exclaimed, "especially not with those sniveling boys!"
"excuse me!? Those are our boys!" Rikku exclaimed.
"what gives you the right to say that about of children?" Lulu asked, calmly but coldly.
"I don't need a right, those boys are turning my daughter into a prostitute!" Virak bellowed, "Especially since that pretty blond boy came in town!" Yuna was shocked but she didn't say anything.
"Tidus isn't a pretty blond boy!" Lexi exclaimed, "Sure he's in love with mom, which is so totally wrong, but that doesn't mean anything! He's a nice guy, and so are the rest of them. They take better care of me then you!"
"Exactly, so you should just back off!" Shinra crossed his arms, "we aren't sniveling boys, and we aren't turning Lexi into whore! I bet that's what you want her to be!"
"You stay out of this," Virak frowned, "c'mon." he grabbed Lexi wrist and held it tightly, hurting her.
"ow! Let go of me, moron! Let go!" Lexi screamed as she was being dragged away.
"Hey! Bring her back here!! VIRAK!" Leif shouted, he was about to run after them but Rikku grabbed him, and shook her head.
"Why not!? He might hurt her!" Leif argued, as his eyes glanced into hers.
"He won't," Yuna sighed, "only because she looks like me,"
"What happened?" Evelyn asked Shinra.
"Virak, he's always had it in for me and the guys. Never liked us one bit, making up storied just so that we'd get in trouble. People don't usually believe him. And when he doesn't get his way he takes it out on Yunie, and if Yunie isn't home, it's us, and if we aren't anywhere to be found…" Shinra's voice faded. Tidus and Evelyn looked around at their faces, "it's Lexi, isn't it." Evelyn sighed, "poor girl."
"Yeah, that's why we take care of her.... actually it's mostly Shinra..." Rick laughed, and smiled.
"I better check if she's ok though, she should be climbing out of the window once I get there, if I leave now." Leif smiled as he turned around, ready to walk to Lexi's hut.
"Wait, Leif, I want you to give something to her for me." Yuna smiled.
"What's that, Aunt Yunie?" Leif asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Follow me," Yuna went infront of him and he followed her.
The group watched as they left.
"Sounds like Lexi and Yuna have some problems..." Tidus sighed, "worst than me and my old man..."
"Huh?" Evelyn looked at him raising an eyebrow.
"Tell me, why do you want to become a Summoner?" Lulu asked Evelyn.
"I've always wanted to save the world, have an adventure. When I saw sin I then decided to become a Summoner." Evelyn smiled.
"it's dangerous to be a summoner, you may die along the way."
Evelyn just smiled and said, "it's about time I had a happy ending,"
--------------------change Scene------------------------
"Auntie, where are we going?" Leif asked as Yuna led him down the rocks to the bottom of the waterfall. Yuna didn't answer his question.
"Auntie?" Leif turns around and sees Yuna walk into the waterfall.
"Auntie!" Leif exclaimed, and runs into the waterfall to see Yuna looking for something behind a rock.
"Now where did I put those things? Ohh, this is so frustrating..." Yuna mumbled,
"Auntie?" Leif raised his eyebrow, it wasn't a usual thing for his Aunt to share things with her daughter, with anyone actually. She was more of a I-have-a-secret-but-I'll-never-tell, and Leif was a I-know-what-you're-hiding-there's-no-point-in-hinding-it, in other words…Leif reads people.
"Hmm...seems like the rest of them have been stolen..."
"What?" Leif went behind the rock, and blinked, confused by his aunt's actions.
--------------------change Scene------------------------
"C'mon!" Virak shouted as he dragged Lexi into the hut.
"Let go of me!! Damn you!!" she tripped over her own two feet, "Fuck, that hurt!" Virak dragged her over to her room.
"Girls shouldn't swear, and you won't be leaving Besaid," he threw her onto her bedroom floor. Virak quickly made his way to the door. Lexi quickly shot up and crawled to the door as fast as she could. But the door closed she got there, and her face collided with the door. She slid down back onto the floor.
"ow..." she groaned, and got up, and decided to open the door. She placed her hand on the knob and twisted it; locked.
"Damn...he's smart for an older dude..." she sighed, and turned around. She went to her cot and looked under it for her small blue backpack. She stuck her hand under the bed and searched around for it.
"Hmmm, papers, books, pictures," she pulled out something that she thought was her bag, she stared at it, making a discusted face, "what is Rick's underwear doing in here?!" she threw it aside and began looking again, "let's hope I don't find anything more of his stuff under here…" she sighed, then suddenly she smiled when she found her bag.
"Here we go!" she pulled out a small blue backpack that was big enough to hold most of her clothes. She smiled and began to pack.
--------------------change Scene------------------------
"hmmm, If you teens really want to leave, you must leave now," Lulu said, "if Virak doesn't want Lexi to go, maybe it's for the best."
"no way! I ain't ditching Lexi! She's one of us!" Rick exclaimed.
"Lexi, I don't think these boys would leave with out her." Evelyn said, calmly. Shinra looked at her, "I can't just leave her here with that bastard…" he sighed.
"Shinra," Wakka frowned.
"sorry," Shinra sighed.
"we should wait up a bit, Lexi and Leif will be here soon." Rick said, smiling, "I can't leave with out my humor."
--------------------change Scene------------------------
"here, Leif, take these to Lexi." Yuna gave Lief a sphere.
"this looks old, Aunt Yunie," Leif held it up to his face.
"it is the only dress sphere I have left."
"oh! These things that Shinra keeps trying to fix!"
"yes, this is my warrior dress sphere."
"sweet! Lexi gets a sword!" Leif smiled.
"make sure you give it to her."
"yea, no problem Aunt Yunie." Yuna led Leif out of the waterfall and back into town. They saw Virak walk out of the hut.
"Auntie, could you distract him until me and Lexi get out of here?" Leif asked, Yuna nodded and advanced toward the angry Virak.
Lexi looked down her window and saw how far down the ground was. "crap…" she cursed, "I can't jump down." She frowned, and looked around her room for something. She saw her bed sheet. A devious smile appeared on her face, and she pulled the bed sheets off.
"Virak, honey. I'm sorry about my friends and their boys. They don't mean any harm." She said sweetly, and awkwardly.
"I still don't like the idea of them getting close to her."
"oh, I understand completely!" Yuna exclaimed, as Leif crawled to the back to where Lexi's window was. He suddenly saw white bed sheet being carefully put down.
"pssst! Lexi!" Leif whispered, trying to get her attention.
"what?" Lexi answered in the same tone then accidentally dropped the bedsheets.
"great! Now how am I supposed to get down!?" Lexi asked, annoyed.
"jump! I'll catch you!"
"what?! Are you crazy?!"
"c'mon, trust me! I'm not Rick you know!"
"true, you're his brother!"
"just jump already! Do you want to stay here while all of us are gone? This place is a hole!"
"ok, ok..."
"I'll count to three....1..." Lexi moved back, getting ready to jump, "2..." she got ready to run, "3!" Lexi ran to the window, placed her foot firmly on the ground and pushed off. She flew out to the fresh air and fell silently and quickly. Lexi shut her eyes tight, she didn't like free falling. She didn't like the depth she was falling at. Suddenly two strong arms caught her.
"Whoa! Whoa!" Leif tried to find his balance while he carried Lexi. Careful not to drop her of fall. Once he did catch his balance he put her down and they ran.
--------------------change Scene------------------------
"Waiit! Don't leave with out us!!" Lexi yelled as she ran behind Leif.
"they're here!" Tidus turned around, and saw Lexi running happily towards them, him. He smiled, he suddenly wanted to run up to her and hug her tight, to never let go. He was back with her and he would never loose her ever again, even though it was partially his fault.
"I'll find a way back, I promise Yuna..." Tidus whispered.
"Tidus?" she said.
"yes?" he answered dreamily slowly pulling her away.
"are you on drugs?" in front of him was Lexi. She made a face at him, "you can let go now, you know."
"sorry! I thought...you look like...crap!" Tidus exclaimed.
"...don't you EVER do that again...it's scary..." Lexi shuddered as she made her way to Evelyn.
"dude, please do not hallucinate, it's scary to know that you're in love with Aunt Yunie." Leif said, shuddering.
"thank you sooo much Evie!!" Lexi smiled and hugged her. Evie raised an eyebrow, and a smile slowly spread across her face.
"let's go get one of those boats, ya?" Chappu said, leading the way to the dock.
"will it hold all of us?" Evie asked.
"yah, it should," Rick smiled. Shinra got in the rowboat, and let out his hand so he could help Evie in. Lexi and Leif smiled at each other and jumped in.
"don't rock the boat!!" Rick exclaimed, as he tried to sit down beside Chappu. All of them looked up at Tidus who was still on the dock.
"are you coming or what?" Lexi asked, smiling. Tidus looked up at her, smiling. And untied the boat. He jumped injust before it left.
"yah! I'm coming," he answered when he sat down, 'I'm going to find my way back to you Yuna, I promise.' He thought.
As Rick, Chappu, Shinra and Leif rowed the boat, Lexi gazed out to the sky. 'star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, to have the wish, I wish tonight...please make this journey full of laughter...' she smiled, and glanced at the crew on the small row boat. Evie, Leif, Rick, Chappu, Shinra and Tidus; her companions on this journey for their future, and for Tidus' past...

Chapter 3
The sky began to glow as the group went to the beach for their little celebration.
"Where's Virak?" Yuna asked as she set down the food on a picnic cloth.
"Who cares?" Lexi scoffed, as she sat down with Evelyn.
"You should, Lexi. He's your father." Yuna said, frowning. Lexi didn't give an answer.
"Lexi did you cook?" Leif said, sniffing the food.
"Umm...yah...you got a problem?" Lexi said, raising her eyebrow.
"Then...it isn't edible..." Rick said, smirking.

"...I think I'd rather starve then eat this shit!!" Rick exclaimed, lifting the acid crumbled spoon.
"hey, it's not that bad Rick..." Leif said, with a spoonful of Lexi's cooking in his mouth.

"Why...you..." Lexi glared, and stood up.
"Uh oh..." Rick dropped his plate in the sand and made a run for it.
"RIKAL! COME BACK HERE!!!" Lexi screamed as she ran after him. Evelyn smiled as she watched the two. Shinra took in a deep breath and took two plates full of food and walked over to Evelyn.
"Hey," Shinra said shakily, smiling his goofy yet charming smile.
"Oh hi." Evelyn turned to him and smiled. Shinra's face turned pink and his heart began to pound.
"You should eat something..." Shinra handed her the plate that had been eaten away from Lexi's cooking. They both stared at it, shocked. Evelyn smiled, and laughed. Shinra looked up at her, and chuckled himself.
"Aren't you going to sit with me, and watch the sun set?" Evelyn smiled up at him.
"S-s-sure!" Shinra sits down beside her and stares out to the orange and pink horizon, then his eyes divert to Evelyn; who was gazing dreamily out at sea.
"It's so beautiful isn't it?" Evelyn breathed, smiling dreamily; looking at him.
"Yah, you are..." Shinra smiled, admiring her.
"What?" Evelyn wanted to make sure what he had said.
"Oh! Uhh! Nothing!" Shinra smiled goofily, and blushed, putting his hand behind his head, then laughed nervously.
"RICK YOU'RE GONNA EAT ALL OF IT!!" Shinra and Evelyn turn behind them and see Rick's head at the end of the pot, with Lexi trying to push his face in. his hands were on the rim, trying to push himself from the incredible Hulk strength this little girl had.
"No..." Rick groaned and gritted his teeth, as his face was pushed in closer to the pot.
"It's...coming...closer..." He said though his teeth.
"It has a name you know..." Lexi smiled evilly, "It's called, RICK STEW!" Lexi shouted at him and shoved his face into the pot. You could have heard Rick's bubbled scream inside of the pot. Shinra chuckled.
"Are those two..." Evelyn started.

"Oh, don't worry about it. Lexi would never try to kill us or anything like that, and what ever Rick does he deserves what he gets. And usually, he gets hurt." Shinra chuckles nervously. Suddenly the bubbles in the pot stopped bubbling.

"Let go! Let go! Let go!" Lexi waved her arm around, trying to throw Chappu off.
"Shiiinnnraaa!! Heeelllpp meeee, yyaaa???" Chappu exclaimed as he tried to hold on.
"Sorry, bout this..." Shinra sighed, and made his way towards the two. He examined what was to do, and then he took hold of Lexi's other arm. She squirmed and screamed. Shinra and Chappu tried to pull her away from the pot.
"Tidus!!!!" Shinra shouted, "help!!" Tidus got up and wrapped his arms around her waist.
"One...two... three...HEAVE!!" Shinra counted and the three boys heaved her from the pot. Rick's head hung from the rim to the liquid substance.
"Leif! Get your bro, ya?" Chappu exclaimed, as he struggled to keep Lexi back. Leif nodded, and pulled Rick by his collar out of the pot. Leif went down to check if Rick was breathing.
"He's not breathing!"
"Give him CPR then!" Shinra exclaimed.
"That is wrong on so many levels!" Leif shouted back.
"Kick him or something!" Tidus said, "hurry this is hard!" Leif nodded, and kicked Rick in the stomach. Rick coughed up the liquid and curled into a ball. He started whimpering.
"uhhh, you guys better come over here!" Leif called, the four of them ran towards them.
"Are...you ok, man?" Shinra asked.
"Dude..." Tidus, pushed Rick onto his back. Tears were flowing down his cheeks.
"Looks like you kicked him pretty hard, Leif..." Lexi said.
"heh, sorry man." Leif shrugged.
"It's not that..." Rick sniffed, "it's the acid in my stomach...it BURNS!" The three other boys looked strait at Lexi. Her eye turned green, and she smiled evilly.
"DIE RICK!!" She pounced on him, and started fighting.
"The pain!!!!"
"there they go again..."
"RIKAL!" Rikku exclaimed, angrily.
"Alexandria!!" Yuna frowned.
"uh oh..." the two of them stopped.
"You two are going to be-" Yuna started.
"My guardians!" Evelyn interrupted.
"what?!" Everyone stared at her, surprised at her sudden outburst.
"Gaurdians? But...Sin has been destroyed!" Virak appeared, as he scoffed, "there's no need to worry about that, Yuna has taken care of it." Tidus glared at him.

"yah, just want the girl to fall all over you, isn't that right?" Rick snickered, nudging him on the side.
"that's so lame..." Lexi laughed.
"shut up you two..." Shinra sighed; he knew they were right.
"Hmmmm...maybe if I..." Tidus mumbled; Yuna looked at him curiously.
"hey! you mean you want me as your guardian?!" Lexi smiled, "ohhhh!!! I'm sooo excited!!" Virak frowned at her comment.

"that's the same thing if we win the tournament, Rick." Chappu sighed, shaking his head.
"oh...well...haha..." Rick smiled, stupidly.

"why? Shouldn't you stay here with my mom?" Lexi looked at him, "aren't you like, head over heels for her?" She shuddered at the thought.
"yes, but you see if I find a way to get back into the past I can actually marry Yuna." Tidus smiled, the teens just looked at him funny.
"are you sure you want to go, sweetie?" Yuna asked, approaching Lexi.
"yeah! I'm sure. I mean, if you can save the world, it's only my job as your daughter to do the same." Lexi smiled sweetly as possible, trying to convince her mother in letting her leave.

"You stay out of this," Virak frowned, "c'mon." he grabbed Lexi wrist and held it tightly, hurting her.
"ow! Let go of me, moron! Let go!" Lexi screamed as she was being dragged away.
"Hey! Bring her back here!! VIRAK!" Leif shouted, he was about to run after them but Rikku grabbed him, and shook her head.
"Why not!? He might hurt her!" Leif argued, as his eyes glanced into hers.
"He won't," Yuna sighed, "only because she looks like me,"
"What happened?" Evelyn asked Shinra.
"Virak, he's always had it in for me and the guys. Never liked us one bit, making up storied just so that we'd get in trouble. People don't usually believe him.

"C'mon!" Virak shouted as he dragged Lexi into the hut.
"Let go of me!! Damn you!!" she tripped over her own two feet, "Fuck, that hurt!" Virak dragged her over to her room.
"Girls shouldn't swear, and you won't be leaving Besaid," he threw her onto her bedroom floor. Virak quickly made his way to the door. Lexi quickly shot up and crawled to the door as fast as she could. But the door closed she got there, and her face collided with the door. She slid down back onto the floor.
"ow..." she groaned, and got up, and decided to open the door. She placed her hand on the knob and twisted it; locked.
"Damn...he's smart for an older dude..." she sighed, and turned around. She went to her cot and looked under it for her small blue backpack. She stuck her hand under the bed and searched around for it.
"Hmmm, papers, books, pictures," she pulled out something that she thought was her bag, she stared at it, making a discusted face, "what is Rick's underwear doing in here?!" she threw it aside and began looking again, "let's hope I don't find anything more of his stuff under here…" she sighed, then suddenly she smiled when she found her bag.
"Here we go!" she pulled out a small blue backpack that was big enough to hold most of her clothes. She smiled and began to pack.

"hmmm, If you teens really want to leave, you must leave now," Lulu said, "if Virak doesn't want Lexi to go, maybe it's for the best."
"no way! I ain't ditching Lexi! She's one of us!" Rick exclaimed.
"Lexi, I don't think these boys would leave with out her." Evelyn said, calmly. Shinra looked at her, "I can't just leave her here with that bastard…" he sighed.
"Shinra," Wakka frowned.
"sorry," Shinra sighed.
"we should wait up a bit, Lexi and Leif will be here soon." Rick said, smiling, "I can't leave with out my humor."

"here, Leif, take these to Lexi." Yuna gave Lief a sphere.
"this looks old, Aunt Yunie," Leif held it up to his face.
"it is the only dress sphere I have left."
"oh! These things that Shinra keeps trying to fix!"
"yes, this is my warrior dress sphere."
"sweet! Lexi gets a sword!" Leif smiled.
"make sure you give it to her."
"yea, no problem Aunt Yunie." Yuna led Leif out of the waterfall and back into town. They saw Virak walk out of the hut.
"Auntie, could you distract him until me and Lexi get out of here?" Leif asked, Yuna nodded and advanced toward the angry Virak.
Lexi looked down her window and saw how far down the ground was. "crap…" she cursed, "I can't jump down." She frowned, and looked around her room for something. She saw her bed sheet. A devious smile appeared on her face, and she pulled the bed sheets off.
"Virak, honey. I'm sorry about my friends and their boys. They don't mean any harm." She said sweetly, and awkwardly.
"I still don't like the idea of them getting close to her."
"oh, I understand completely!" Yuna exclaimed, as Leif crawled to the back to where Lexi's window was. He suddenly saw white bed sheet being carefully put down.
"pssst! Lexi!" Leif whispered, trying to get her attention.
"what?" Lexi answered in the same tone then accidentally dropped the bedsheets.
"great! Now how am I supposed to get down!?" Lexi asked, annoyed.
"jump! I'll catch you!"
"what?! Are you crazy?!"
"c'mon, trust me! I'm not Rick you know!"
"true, you're his brother!"
"just jump already! Do you want to stay here while all of us are gone? This place is a hole!"
"ok, ok..."
"I'll count to three....1..." Lexi moved back, getting ready to jump, "2..." she got ready to run, "3!" Lexi ran to the window, placed her foot firmly on the ground and pushed off. She flew out to the fresh air and fell silently and quickly. Lexi shut her eyes tight, she didn't like free falling. She didn't like the depth she was falling at. Suddenly two strong arms caught her.
"Whoa! Whoa!" Leif tried to find his balance while he carried Lexi. Careful not to drop her of fall. Once he did catch his balance he put her down and they ran.
--------------------change Scene------------------------
"Waiit! Don't leave with out us!!" Lexi yelled as she ran behind Leif.
"they're here!" Tidus turned around, and saw Lexi running happily towards them, him. He smiled, he suddenly wanted to run up to her and hug her tight, to never let go. He was back with her and he would never loose her ever again, even though it was partially his fault.
"I'll find a way back, I promise Yuna..." Tidus whispered.
"Tidus?" she said.
"yes?" he answered dreamily slowly pulling her away.
"are you on drugs?" in front of him was Lexi. She made a face at him, "you can let go now, you know."
"sorry! I thought...you look like...crap!" Tidus exclaimed.
"...don't you EVER do that again...it's scary..." Lexi shuddered as she made her way to Evelyn.
"dude, please do not hallucinate, it's scary to know that you're in love with Aunt Yunie." Leif said, shuddering.
"thank you sooo much Evie!!" Lexi smiled and hugged her. Evie raised an eyebrow, and a smile slowly spread across her face.
"let's go get one of those boats, ya?" Chappu said, leading the way to the dock.
"will it hold all of us?" Evie asked.
"yah, it should," Rick smiled. Shinra got in the rowboat, and let out his hand so he could help Evie in. Lexi and Leif smiled at each other and jumped in.
"don't rock the boat!!" Rick exclaimed, as he tried to sit down beside Chappu. All of them looked up at Tidus who was still on the dock.
"are you coming or what?" Lexi asked, smiling. Tidus looked up at her, smiling. And untied the boat. He jumped injust before it left.
"yah! I'm coming," he answered when he sat down, 'I'm going to find my way back to you Yuna, I promise.' He thought.
As Rick, Chappu, Shinra and Leif rowed the boat, Lexi gazed out to the sky. 'star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, to have the wish, I wish tonight...please make this journey full of laughter...' she smiled, and glanced at the crew on the small row boat. Evie, Leif, Rick, Chappu, Shinra and Tidus; her companions on this journey for their future, and for Tidus' past...
