The gang is now headed from the far edge of Moonflow to Guadosalam. They must have, with a stroke of luck, managed to loose Sai... for now.
Overtaking the last hill they stumlbed... LITERALLY upon the entrance to Guadosalam, but all that dashing back and forth through the Moonflow woods had taken them a bit off course.
They apporached a sort of "back door" to the ancient forest city of the Guado.
Rick adjusted his sunglasses and commented, "Geesh! Guadosalam looks like a real dump"
"Last time I was here, it seemed to be in better..." said Tidus, trailing off.
"upkeep, ya" said Chappu, scratching hid face. The poor boy still had poison oak all over.
"well i've heard that the guado potions are legendary" said Evie taking a step ahead of the others.
"heh... who told you THAT?!" asked Leif, being skeptical. Nothing could be better than old Al-bhed remedies.
"Who cares, this place is bound to have food so I say we get a move on" whined Lexi as she held her stomache. She intended to put that gold she found to good use.
"Alright, alright. But let's stay together this time" said Shinra passing by Lexi and tapping the top of her head with his palm. Lexi licked her lower lip. Still tasted like blood.
--change scene--
As you probably could have guessed, over the years Guadosalam became.... less than it was last time Tidus had vistied there. In fact, lots had changed, but the Guado still held Lady Yuna in high esteem.
Lexi had hurried in front of the rest of the group. Her boots clicked on the stone floor as she looked about. This place was dark, cold, drafty, and super-creepy. She looked up, a huge window in the roof?
"I guess they like rain..." trailed off Lexi. She heard voice behind her and spun around on the turn of a dime. Nothing.
She raised an eyebrow and turned back around. Only to crash into a tall, cloaked man.
"Lady Yuna!" he exclaimed in excitement. Lexi screamed out for help. But the man covered her mouth with his long, thin hand shortly after her squawking filled the halls of Guadosalam. He looked down on her.
He was smiling at her, and he was a Guado. Obviously confused, because she was no "Lady Yuna".
"What are you talking about old man? My name is Lexi" said said Shoving the man off of her.
--change scene--
"Lexi!!! Where are you?!" shouted Leif.
"That brat it always running off. If she gets hurt, it'll be her own fault" scoffed Tidus.
Rick slapped Tidus in the back of the head. "Ok shut up blondie. She maybe be a brat, but she's still my cousin. And I don't want a repeat of the Moonflow-lip-incident, ok?"
"It was funny though, ya?" said Chappu, chuckling softly.
"hell yeah, but I ended up with a swollen lip too you know" said Rick rubbing him chin and looking around.
"you don't suppose she would get scared and run off" said Shinra.
"Back to moonflow? no way, Sai's back that way" said Leif looking around a corner.
"true, ya?" said Chappu.
Evie stopped in her tracks.
"shhhh! everyone, be quiet" the crew turned around at looked at her with confusion.
At first, there was only silence, but after you could hear talking off in the distance.
It sounded like a soft, girl's voice and several other people.
"Lexi!" everyone exclaimed and rushed around the corner toward where the voices were coming from.
--change scene--
"and then what happened?"
"I was suddenly surrounded by about one hundred fiends, with only my sword" said Lexi.
She had been standing on a tabletop telling a story and entranzing the Guado people nearby, listening to her story.
"whatever did you do, dear alexandria?" asked a woman in great concern.
"umm... please call me Lexi" said Lexi, blankly staring at her.
"yes alexandria" said the woman in reply. Lexi sighed and continued.
"I slaughtered them all one by one...swish! slash! kill! kill! KILL! KI-"
"Lexi!" shouted Evie as she came aroudn the corner, she was followed by all the boys.
"Hey there guys, you missed my story" she said smiling humbly and getting down off of the table.
"..story.." sighed Tidus. He had heard the last part and remembered that. How she had kicked him and rendered him helpless.
"we were worried about you Lexi" said Leif.
"ya stupid. why'd you have to run off like that?" asked rick walking over to her and messing up her hair.
"cuz i needed to get away from you" said laughed and playfully punched rick in the stomache.
"Lady Alexanderia, that story was amazing. We must take you to see Elder Millad" said the guado man who had first found Lexi.
"who?" she asked, turning around.
"...the elder" whispered Evie to herself and clasping her hands together.
"who? what? huh?" asked Lexi, now spinning around in a circle.
--change scene--
Everyone entered a decorated chamber in the back of Guadosalam. They were greated by an older looking Guado man. Apparently this was elder Millad.
"Lady Yuna!" he exclaimed happliy.
"Not again..." mumbled Lexi. Millad placed his hands on her shoulders.
"she's not Yuna... beleive me" sighed Tidus.
"he's right, I'm Lexi" she said and brushed the elder's hands off her shoulders.
"Oh... are you sure? you look so much like her." asked Millad grinding his teeth.
"I think she knows who she is genius" said Rick, scratching his head.
"have any of you ever been here? Lady Yuna is still so highly regarded by our people"
"Really? that was like... 20 years ago. And we totally killed Seymour" said Tidus.
"yes…." Muttered Millad, glaring at Tidus. Tidus simply shrugged.
"Lady Yuna did deafeat sin" said Millad smiling at Lexi.
"well I'm not summoner" said Lexi, proudly striking her little "im just an amazing heroine" pose. Rick snickered.
"are you not?.... well that's too bad" said Millad as he pulled out a sphere and looked at it.
"hey....that's a dress sphere. A really rare one" said Shinra, gawking at the glowing sphere.
"when I last saw lady Yuna, she err… gave this to me for… safe keeping " said Millad sweating.
"I wonder why, ya" said Chappu, still scratching. Millad turned his attention to the scratching boy.
"oh dear! Assistant!" an guado woman in a cloak entered the room.
"take this boy and clear up this rash" continued Millad. The woman nodded and lead Chappu away.
"Bye ya!" shouted Chappu after he had left the room.
"Geesh, what a dumbass, this is gonna hurt. I guess we'll go with him" said rick, grabbing Leif's arm.
"hey! I'm gonna stay here" said leif in protest. Lexi shook her head.
"I'll be ok, you should go with Rick" she said smiling at Leif. He smiled back and nodded.
Only seconds later Chappu yelped out in pain. Evie sighed heavily.
"alright... I think it'd be best if I helped out, otherwise I feel sorry for your assistant" she said. She smiled at everyone and turned daintily on her heel.
"...i'll uh..g-go too.." said Shinra trailing off and starting to follow Evie out the door. Millard put his hand of Shinra's shoulder to stop him.
".....boy.. are you sure we haven't met?" he asked. Shinra looked at the ground and shook his head.
"I think we have... weren't you that sphere boy that worked for Yuna back when she was in the gullwings?"
Shinra sighed and nodded slowly. Millad started to laugh.
"I don't think I've ever seen your face boy!" hse said laughing. Lexi rolled her eyes.
"Is there a point to all this Millad?" she asked impatiently.
"Maybe, maybe not. Boy, go to the farplane.. you'll find it just on top of here. Go see Sir Auron. I beleive he has something for you"
Shinra rubbed the back of his neck and slowly backed out of the room.
Now only Tidus, Lexi and Millad remained. Millad glared at Tidus and Tidus smiled cheerily and stupidly back at him.
he sighed and exclaimed, "oh for Yevon's sake boy, LEAVE!!!" Tidus seemed shock. He looked to Lexi, she was laughing her head off and now wiping a tear from her eye.
--change scene--
"OW OW OW OW OW OW YA" exclaimed Chappu.
"hold still" shouted the assistant sounding irritated.
"common old chap, it's for the best" said Leif. Rick just stood there laughing at Chappu...
"but it burns ya" whined Chappu in protest.
"well, your fault for jumping into those bushes" scolded the assistant now turning to leave the room. It was all over. Chappu had bandaids here and there.
"not my fault, Sai's fault, ya?" he mumbled, crossing his arms.
The assistant left, leaving the three alone.
"Say... wasn't someone right behind us?" Leif whispered to Rick. Rick just shrugged.
"Yeah... Evie.. I wonder were she wandered off to..." Leif asked himself.
"Don't worry it's not like she's Lexi" scoffed Rick.
"good point ya" said Chappu, giving the guys a thumbs up.
--change scene--
"Gosh.. what did I do now?" Shinra asked himself as he went down to hall that lead to the farplane. He didn't want to go see Auron. He barely knew the guy. In fact he didnt want to go at all.
"What if she shows up..." he mumbled to himsef again. Of course he was talking about hid mother. He loved her, but if he saw her, he would probably cry. The whole crew would probably not want to go for the same reason.
He paused at the entrance to the gate to the farplane. Deep breaths... just breathe. One slow step at a time he entered to farplane.
--change scene--
"good for nothing....Millad... tree-dude...thing" Tidus mumbled to himself.He entered the medical chamber where the rest of the guys are.
"hey there ya" greeted Chappu cheerfully. Ironically, he was in pain and the only happy one in the entire room.
"meh..." mumbled Tidus, doing a lazy little wave. Leif looked up, scowling at Tidus. Not because he was Tidus, but because he was an idiot. Leif todl himself this confusing thought.
Rick twirled around his sunglasses and turned to Tidus.
"What'd we miss over there in the chamber?" he asked. Tidus shrugged.
"the tree dude yelled at me" he said.
"was that it?" asked Leif in surprise.
"well... yeah.. oh no..Wait. he also told shinra to go see Auron." Tidus added.
"probably sumthing to do with Yuna" muttered Leif.
" yeah, Millad said he was part of the gullwings. I guess Yuna left something for Lexi and Auron has something for Shinra" said Tidus.
"how cool, ya" commented Chappu.
"not really, i mean... we got zilch" said Rick sourly. Leif nodded in agreement and said, "yeah, but maybe mom left us something at home"
"but that's all the way back in Besaid, kinda pointless don't you think" replied Tidus.
"not our house-home you idiot, home-home. The house of the al-bhed" snapped Leif.
"Say…. I wonder if I could pick me up a girl there" Rick asked himself. Chappu laghed.
Tidus began to look around the room and then raised an eyebrow.
"hey, Evie left way before me, why isn't she here yet?" asked Tidus. Leif shrugged.
"probably trying to seduce Shinra" joked Rick. But there was a heavy silence. Rick sighed.
"ok fine.. don't laugh at my little joke. Geesh, nobody thinks I'm funny anymore" she mumbled.
"I do, ya" said Chappu cheerfully. Rick crossed his arms bitterly.
"shut up fob..." he mumbled and then smiled.
--change scene--
Her boots softer on the floor and anyone else's.
"gullwings..." she whispered to herself as she peered aroudn the corner, toward the entrance to the farplane. Evie had waited, and then followed Shinra.
She couldnt help but be curious, it was in her nature. She approached the barrier and took in a deep breath. She passed through and headed slowly up to the farplane.
--change scene--
Shinra continued to walk up the steps to the Farplane. He finally made it to the barrier.
"ok, here we go..." he took in a deep breath and went through the barrier. Evie not to far behind him.
"ok...so...whos this Auron guy..." Shinra looked around the far plane to find a man on the cliff, sitting in a red cloak.
"Shinra," he said nodding,
"whoa, scary..." Shinra walked up to Auron, and held out his hand for a hand shake.
"hey man, uhhh you're Auron right?" Shinra asked,
"yes," Auron looked at Shinra's hand, and ignored it. Shinra took it back and placed it in his pocket.
--change scene--
"now then, do ya wanna give me that oh-so-valuable-dress sphere?" asked Lexi anxiously.
"Well, not really Miss Alexandria, it was meant for you, only if you decided to become a summoner. But since you aren't… it would be best for you to not have it", replied Millad.
"Hey, if that's my mom's I deserve to have it." Snapped Lexi. Millad raised an eyebrow.
"Little Miss, calm down. I shall have to think this over. Go gather your friends up and come back in about an hour. There's plenty to do around here. Rest up and eat"
"why can't you give me the sphere right now?" she asked in suspicion. Millad's eyes darted nervously as he thought up an answer.
"I have some…. Business to attend to first" he replied shakily. "Bullshit!" Lexi thought. She turned and left for where the guys were.
--change scene--
"what did you need me for?" Shinra asked, looking at Aurons scar behind his shades.
"i am giving you this," Auron gave Shinra a sphere, a video sphere. Shinra gulped, and took it from him. he gazed at it.
"a video sphere, you must wait for your comrades." Evie gazed at them, Auron saw her.
"you will be surprised at what you will see...and if you are man enough you will watch...this may change your future and the rest of Spira's."
"but...what...what if i dont want to know what will happen."
"you should want to know, and show that young lady that you're truly a man," Auron said, keeping his strait face. "and meet me in the flower feild...later...bring your friends,"
Shinra turned around to see Evie, and turned back to Auron, but wasn't there.
"E-E-Evie..." SHinra gasped.
--change scene--
Lexi entered the medical room where the boys were.
"Hey Lexi" said Rick, sloppily waving.
"What did Millad want, ya? " asked Chappu.
Lexi shrugged and replied, "nothing, he said for me to come back later".
"That tree-dude sure is mean" said Tidus, remembering all the trouble the Guado had caused in the past. Should they be here? Who can they trust?
"If they pull anything, we'll be ready" said Leif, clenching a fist. Chappu nodded cheerfully in agreement. Lexi's eyes searched the room.
"Where's Evie?" she asked. A sea full of dumb faces looked back at her and no answers.
"Guuuuys! Shes our suuuummoner!" she whined "we're not supposed to let her get lost".
"Yeah…. Especially HERE" added Tidus.
"Hey, we're not her summoners, you and Shinra are, remember" said Rick. Lexi frowned, grabbed Rick by the arm and threw him to the ground.
"Now listen you! ENOUGH! If Evie disappears this pilgrimage is over and I have to go back to Besaid! I won't go back, in fact I'd rather die fighting Sin than go back!" she yelled. "Lexi…" sighed Leif looking at her.
"Now we're gonna go find her and tell her, she's got herself three new guardians, Leif, Chappu and YOU!" she said and she dragged Rick out of the room, the other followed.
--change scene--
She smiled, "i followed you,"
"y-yeah...w-why?"
"curious, of what Auron wanted of you." Evie said approaching him.
"oh...well..." Shinra smiled at her goofily.
"have you called anyone?" Evie asked, looking at the sky.
"no...i was planning on calling my mom...but...she wasn't sent...she turned into a feind..." Shinra sighed, tears began to swellin his eyes.
"oh...are you sure?"
"no, but she wasn't sent...so..."
"well, try calling her,"
"i couldn't...i can't,"
"why not...?"
"because it was my fault, my fault Leif...and I...don't-"
"Hey! you guys!" Rick shouted as the four walked in.
"EVie!! eevviie!!" LExi screamed as she ran up to her and pounced.
"hey! careful!" Leif ran after her, but he tripped on a loose rock and began rolling after LExi. hitting her and they both began rolling to Evie. The three of them falling off the side of the cliff.
"Evie! LExi!" the group looked down.
"Hey, have you noticed that Lexi usually falls or rolls down the hills or sides?..." Tidus said looking over,
"yah...you're right," Rick agreed.
"will you two shut up? they might be hurt!" Shinra exclaimed, as he ran towards the safe way down.
"ok, ya?" Chappu smiled and the boys followed Shinra.
--change scene--
the three were still falling...falling...falling... Leif grabbed Lexi and wrapped his arms around her, keeping her safe. Evie staring up at the sky, still falling. She shut her eyes, 'no...please...no...'
Suddenly Leif hit the ground hard, leaving an echo of a sickening 'thunk'. Evie heard the noise and shuddered, was she going to fall like that. Instead she just stopped falling. no wind brushing against her face, no rush of gravity, nothing, she just stopped. She opened her eyes and saw Chappu! he had caught her!
Lexi groaned she was in Leif's arms. Apparently he hit the ground first, back first. taking in all the shock.
"Leif! Leif! wake up! wake up!! don't die!! you're body is already in the Far Plane!" Lexi exclaimed, getting on her knees beside him. Trying to shake him up.
"hmm, you need help?" Chappu asked, in his thick accent.
"yah! leif is...unconious! Evie! Evie tell me he's not dead!" Lexi exclaimed worriedly,
Chappu placed Evie on the ground, she checked him. she shook her head slowly.
"no...he's..." Evie answered.
"no...no he can't die...no..." LExi hugged her cousin tightly.
"I'm sorry Lexi..." Lexi sobbed, never stopping, 'why leif? why!? why couldn't i have gone?! it was my fault!' Lexi was so hurt, her bestfriend had...just...no...he was more than her best friend...he was her cousin. the one who always took care of her. Lexi's tears just flowed down her cheeks, like rivers.
"whoa!" Leif sat up catching Lexi off gaurd. He looked around, and saw Lexi. her eyes were red and her cheeks were wet. he was just about to hug her when she exclaimed and slapped him.
"ow, what was that for?" Leif asked rubbing his cheek, she apparently left a hand print on his face. Lexi slapped him again.
"ow!! stop that!" leif exclaimed, "why are you slapping me?"
"because...you were dead, and...now you're not...Evie did you lie?" Lexi asked, sniffing.
"no...he was dead as road kill..." Evie answered, shocked.
"oh, yah...i saw a bright light, and i said, 'Screw it! i got stuff to do!' and came back down...heh." Lexi, Evie and Chappu stared at him blankly. "..."
"YOU IDIOT!!" Lexi punched his nose and stood up, wiping the tears off her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Curse you!!"
"my nose...it's bleeding...now i know how Rick feels..." Leif groaned, and stood up with his head back.
"here, ya?" Chappu gave Leif a hankercheif.
"tanks mhan..."
--change scene--
Shinra and the boys began climbing down the rocky side of the cliff. Everyonce in a while Rick would 'accidentally' step on Tidus' hand or loose his balance to make Tidus fall. Shinracouldn't remember how many times he had done that, and Chappu wasn't helping much. He was laughing, as usual.
"C'mon you guys, hurry! Evie might be hurt!" Shinra exclaimed.
"hey, did you forget about Lexi?" Tidus asked, as he dodged Rick's foot.
"sorry about that," RIck shrugged with a smirk on his face. Tidus glared at him as Chappu chuckled. Shinra sighed, and shook his head, "you guys forgot about Leif too," Chappu and Rick exchanged glances. worried?
"Oh no!!" Rick exclaimed, in his cheesy girly voice. he and Chappu laughed. Shinra sighed, 'to think those two are brothers...'
--change scene--
"Lexi, C'mon, I'm sorry but i wasn't joking! I was dead for like 5 minutes!" Leif argued as the group walked along the flower feild.
"5 minutes?! more like 20! i was sitting there brawling my eyes out cause you were dead! i feel so stupid to EVER cry over you!" That one had shot Leif hard. It hurt.
"God, you're so stubborn! maybe i should have just left you crying! i wouldn't have to put up with your loud mouth!" Leif growled.
"will you two please stop fighting?" Evie asked, trying to calm the two of them. They ignored her.
"Those two will stop soon, ya? They seems too close to be angry for long, ya?" Chappu said, smiling at her.
"i hope you're right," Evie sighs, and sees Sir Auron sitting on a rock in the middle of the flower feild.
"hey!" Chappu smiled and waves, leading the group towards him.
--change scene--
the boys finally finished going down the cliff. the better half was not to be found.
"Shit! you think they're okay?" Tidus asked, looking around.
"It's Lexi, she's always okay..." Rick smirked, placing his hands on his hips to look around.
"well, here's footprints, Looks like Lexi tracks, ya?" Chappu smiled.
"you guys make her sound like some type of animal..." Shinra sighed and began to lead the way. the way of the boot LExi Prints.
--Change scene--
"So who is this with you, Chappu?" Auron asked, as the small group walked up to them.
"Umm...well they fell off the cliff, ya? Lucky they aren't dead, ya?" Chappu smiled.
"Yuna?" Auron stood up and looked at Lexi.
"ok pal, back off..." Leif said.
"and who is this..." Auron gazed upon Leif.
"I ain't Yuna, I'm LExi! Yuna's my mom!" Lexi exclaimed, "and that's Leif, Aunt Rikku's son. and over there is Evie, shes new."
Evie laughed, 'new?'
"ahh, I see the next generation of hero's I see..." Auron chuckled, and went into his pocket to grab something.
"...You still didn't answer the question..." Leif said, eyeing him suspisiously.
"here you go," Auron held out another video sphere.
"for me?" Lexi asked, and Auron nods.
"have you ever heard of, 'do not trust strangers?'" Leif said, grabbing her wrist.
"He's no stranger Yuna, you should know that, ya?" Chappu smiled,
"back off al-bhed, the sphere belongs to Lexi" said Auron. Lexi took the sphere, it was warm in her hands. Someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around.
"you seem shocked, have you forgotten already?" Everyone looks behind to see Braska and Jecht.
--change scene--
"Geez, they walked pretty far..." Tidus said, as they continued on.
"well...we were 10 mins behind them," SHinra answered, checking his watch.
"eh, why are we looking for them anyways? it's not like they carry anything valuble..." Rick said, placing his hands on his head.
"Leif and Lexi is your family, ya? don't to you care?" Chappu exclaimed.
"yeah, but...theycan take care of themselves...I know them Ol' Chap, no worries," Rick smirks.
"so, when do you think we'll catch up?" Tidus asked again.
"if they stopped, we should catch up in about 20 mins..." Shinra sighed and then continued on.
--change scene--
"I'm not Yuna..." Lexi said, turning around glaring at them.
"she used to play this when she was a child, remember Jecht? She would pretend to be Lulu and then Kimahari..." Braska chuckled, Jecht nodded.
"memories, Eh Braska?" Jecht smiled.
"weren't you listening? I'm not Yuna!" Lexi exclaimed.
"then who are you?" Jecht asked, apparently amused.
"the Names Lexi," she said proudly, the two men laugh. Leif bit his lip to keep from laughing himself, he looked over at Evie who was trying to keep a still face. Auron and Chappu chuckled.
"How are you, dear?" Braska asked, hugging Lexi.
"AH! DON'T TOUCH ME! PEDEFILE!!" Lexi pushed Braska off.
"now, now you're my granddaughter. That's enough I was just saying hi to my daughter," Braska said, becoming annoyed.
"what brings you to the farplane Le-axi?" asked Braska.
"it's Lexi," Evie corrected, still trying not to laugh.
"why is she wears the earring that earring her mother always wore?" Jecht pointed out.
"GAAHHH!!!" Lexi screamed out of annoyance.
--change scene--
"geez...they did walk far...it's taking so long..." Tidus whined.
"stop whining, blondie," Rick said, glaring at him.
Shinra started, "will you two-"
"GAAAAHH!!!"
"Sounded like Lexi, ya?" Chappu smiled innocently.
"oh shit, they're introuble!" Tidus exclaiemd and the boys began running towards the scream.
once they got there, Lexi was yelling at Jecht and Braska. Chappu, Leif, Evie and Auron stood behind and laughed.
"what's going on...?" Ricks eyes widened, "there's...TWO CHAPPUS!"
"where, ya?" Chappu looked around,
"over there, beside Sir Auron!" Shinra exclaimed, pointing him out.
"Holy...shit...ya?" the boys went closer.
"What do you mean "danger"? Im always in need of protection aren't I?!" Lexi screamed,
"Kinda ironic, isn't it?" muttered Evie turning to the readers and laughing.
"what's going on here?" Shinra asked, interrupting. everyone turns to look at them.
"old man!?" Tidus exclaimed, his eyes widening, "holy shit!"
Jecht smacks him across the head with his hand, "Don't swear infront of the ladies, especially infront of Yuna's daughter."
"there's no need to be polite in front of Lexi," Tidus said, rubbing his head.
"I'm confused..." Rick said, shaking his head, "two Chappu's?"
"where ya?" both of them look around, stupidly.
"...whoa..." Lexi backed up into Braska, then grabbing on to Leif. Afraid.
"I'm Chappu, ya?" the Chappu beside Rick said, pointing to himself.
"no, I'm Chappu ya," the one beside Auron answered.
"no i am ya"
"no i am ya!"
"I am, ya!"
"I am, ya!"
"ok ok you're both Chappu's, you're giving me a headache..." Tidus sighed,
"Tidus, how did you end up in the future?" Jecht asked, "again?"
"i dunno old man, you're the one who brought me here, remember?" Tidus answered,
"no...must've had too much of Auron's Sake that day..." Jecht shook his head.
"Stupid old man! Now I have to fight Sin again!" Tidus shot, and crosses his arms.
"Could it be? A third generation of my family is going to defeat sin? I'm so proud! Braska said tearing as he hugged Lexi. "A happy summoner family!"
"ah! let...go of me! eww!! Leif! Rick! help! its a dead man!! A DEAD MAN IS HUGGING ME!!" Lexi tried to pull away as Leif and Rick laughed at her.
"Actaully, Lexi is just a blitzer girl. I am the summoner of this pilgrimage" said Evie, stepping forward. Lexi sighed and pulled away from Braska quickly.
"That's interesting, haven't we met before, ya?" asked Chappu.
"Maybe in Kingdom Hearts! ha ha!" laughed Evie. Nobody laughed. Evie sighed.
"that reminds me, Evie, you have new guardians now!" exclaimed Lexi.
"I do?" she asked looking at the rest of the group.
"Uhhh.. of course, Rick, Leif and Chappu volunteered" she laughed.
"volunteered….riiiiiiiiight" remarked Rick.
"That's wonderful" she said smiling and she hugged all three of the boys in thanks.
"Braska, we have business to do..." Auron reminded.
"oh...right..." Braska lets go and clears his throat, "for you, Dear Le-axi."
"Lexi," she corrected frowning and dusting herself off.
"Right...right..." Braska hands her a sphere.
"what is it...?" she asked clenching the other sphere tightly
"A Black Mage Sphere, for you, it will keep you safe."
"ohhh!! Rick! are you afraid of thundra, like your mom?" Lexi had a evil smile on her face.
"no...but LEif is..." Rick chuckled.
"ahhh shut up!" Leif shot back.
"Shinra," Auron nodded. Shinra looked into the sphere and sighed. He didn't want to watch it HERE. Maybe the group could separate and he could watch it with someone he trusted. And Lexi could watch her sphere.
"I wonder what's with that sphere Millad wanted to give me later on…" Lexi thought.
The gang is now headed from the far edge of Moonflow to Guadosalam. They must have, with a stroke of luck, managed to loose Sai... for now.
Overtaking the last hill they stumlbed... LITERALLY upon the entrance to Guadosalam, but all that dashing back and forth through the Moonflow woods had taken them a bit off course.
They apporached a sort of "back door" to the ancient forest city of the Guado.
Rick adjusted his sunglasses and commented, "Geesh! Guadosalam looks like a real dump"
"Last time I was here, it seemed to be in better..." said Tidus, trailing off.
"upkeep, ya" said Chappu, scratching hid face. The poor boy still had poison oak all over.
"well i've heard that the guado potions are legendary" said Evie taking a step ahead of the others.
"heh... who told you THAT?!" asked Leif, being skeptical. Nothing could be better than old Al-bhed remedies.
"Who cares, this place is bound to have food so I say we get a move on" whined Lexi as she held her stomache. She intended to put that gold she found to good use.
"Alright, alright. But let's stay together this time" said Shinra passing by Lexi and tapping the top of her head with his palm. Lexi licked her lower lip. Still tasted like blood.
--change scene--
As you probably could have guessed, over the years Guadosalam became.... less than it was last time Tidus had vistied there. In fact, lots had changed, but the Guado still held Lady Yuna in high esteem.
Lexi had hurried in front of the rest of the group. Her boots clicked on the stone floor as she looked about. This place was dark, cold, drafty, and super-creepy. She looked up, a huge window in the roof?
"I guess they like rain..." trailed off Lexi. She heard voice behind her and spun around on the turn of a dime. Nothing.
She raised an eyebrow and turned back around. Only to crash into a tall, cloaked man.
"Lady Yuna!" he exclaimed in excitement. Lexi screamed out for help. But the man covered her mouth with his long, thin hand shortly after her squawking filled the halls of Guadosalam. He looked down on her.
He was smiling at her, and he was a Guado. Obviously confused, because she was no "Lady Yuna".
"What are you talking about old man? My name is Lexi" said said Shoving the man off of her.
--change scene--
"Lexi!!! Where are you?!" shouted Leif.
"That brat it always running off. If she gets hurt, it'll be her own fault" scoffed Tidus.
Rick slapped Tidus in the back of the head. "Ok shut up blondie. She maybe be a brat, but she's still my cousin. And I don't want a repeat of the Moonflow-lip-incident, ok?"
"It was funny though, ya?" said Chappu, chuckling softly.
"hell yeah, but I ended up with a swollen lip too you know" said Rick rubbing him chin and looking around.
"you don't suppose she would get scared and run off" said Shinra.
"Back to moonflow? no way, Sai's back that way" said Leif looking around a corner.
"true, ya?" said Chappu.
Evie stopped in her tracks.
"shhhh! everyone, be quiet" the crew turned around at looked at her with confusion.
At first, there was only silence, but after you could hear talking off in the distance.
It sounded like a soft, girl's voice and several other people.
"Lexi!" everyone exclaimed and rushed around the corner toward where the voices were coming from.
--change scene--
"and then what happened?"
"I was suddenly surrounded by about one hundred fiends, with only my sword" said Lexi.
She had been standing on a tabletop telling a story and entranzing the Guado people nearby, listening to her story.
"whatever did you do, dear alexandria?" asked a woman in great concern.
"umm... please call me Lexi" said Lexi, blankly staring at her.
"yes alexandria" said the woman in reply. Lexi sighed and continued.
"I slaughtered them all one by one...swish! slash! kill! kill! KILL! KI-"
"Lexi!" shouted Evie as she came aroudn the corner, she was followed by all the boys.
"Hey there guys, you missed my story" she said smiling humbly and getting down off of the table.
"..story.." sighed Tidus. He had heard the last part and remembered that. How she had kicked him and rendered him helpless.
"we were worried about you Lexi" said Leif.
"ya stupid. why'd you have to run off like that?" asked rick walking over to her and messing up her hair.
"cuz i needed to get away from you" said laughed and playfully punched rick in the stomache.
"Lady Alexanderia, that story was amazing. We must take you to see Elder Millad" said the guado man who had first found Lexi.
"who?" she asked, turning around.
"...the elder" whispered Evie to herself and clasping her hands together.
"who? what? huh?" asked Lexi, now spinning around in a circle.
--change scene--
Everyone entered a decorated chamber in the back of Guadosalam. They were greated by an older looking Guado man. Apparently this was elder Millad.
"Lady Yuna!" he exclaimed happliy.
"Not again..." mumbled Lexi. Millad placed his hands on her shoulders.
"she's not Yuna... beleive me" sighed Tidus.
"he's right, I'm Lexi" she said and brushed the elder's hands off her shoulders.
"Oh... are you sure? you look so much like her." asked Millad grinding his teeth.
"I think she knows who she is genius" said Rick, scratching his head.
"have any of you ever been here? Lady Yuna is still so highly regarded by our people"
"Really? that was like... 20 years ago. And we totally killed Seymour" said Tidus.
"yes…." Muttered Millad, glaring at Tidus. Tidus simply shrugged.
"Lady Yuna did deafeat sin" said Millad smiling at Lexi.
"well I'm not summoner" said Lexi, proudly striking her little "im just an amazing heroine" pose. Rick snickered.
"are you not?.... well that's too bad" said Millad as he pulled out a sphere and looked at it.
"hey....that's a dress sphere. A really rare one" said Shinra, gawking at the glowing sphere.
"when I last saw lady Yuna, she err… gave this to me for… safe keeping " said Millad sweating.
"I wonder why, ya" said Chappu, still scratching. Millad turned his attention to the scratching boy.
"oh dear! Assistant!" an guado woman in a cloak entered the room.
"take this boy and clear up this rash" continued Millad. The woman nodded and lead Chappu away.
"Bye ya!" shouted Chappu after he had left the room.
"Geesh, what a dumbass, this is gonna hurt. I guess we'll go with him" said rick, grabbing Leif's arm.
"hey! I'm gonna stay here" said leif in protest. Lexi shook her head.
"I'll be ok, you should go with Rick" she said smiling at Leif. He smiled back and nodded.
Only seconds later Chappu yelped out in pain. Evie sighed heavily.
"alright... I think it'd be best if I helped out, otherwise I feel sorry for your assistant" she said. She smiled at everyone and turned daintily on her heel.
"...i'll uh..g-go too.." said Shinra trailing off and starting to follow Evie out the door. Millard put his hand of Shinra's shoulder to stop him.
".....boy.. are you sure we haven't met?" he asked. Shinra looked at the ground and shook his head.
"I think we have... weren't you that sphere boy that worked for Yuna back when she was in the gullwings?"
Shinra sighed and nodded slowly. Millad started to laugh.
"I don't think I've ever seen your face boy!" hse said laughing. Lexi rolled her eyes.
"Is there a point to all this Millad?" she asked impatiently.
"Maybe, maybe not. Boy, go to the farplane.. you'll find it just on top of here. Go see Sir Auron. I beleive he has something for you"
Shinra rubbed the back of his neck and slowly backed out of the room.
Now only Tidus, Lexi and Millad remained. Millad glared at Tidus and Tidus smiled cheerily and stupidly back at him.
he sighed and exclaimed, "oh for Yevon's sake boy, LEAVE!!!" Tidus seemed shock. He looked to Lexi, she was laughing her head off and now wiping a tear from her eye.
--change scene--
"OW OW OW OW OW OW YA" exclaimed Chappu.
"hold still" shouted the assistant sounding irritated.
"common old chap, it's for the best" said Leif. Rick just stood there laughing at Chappu...
"but it burns ya" whined Chappu in protest.
"well, your fault for jumping into those bushes" scolded the assistant now turning to leave the room. It was all over. Chappu had bandaids here and there.
"not my fault, Sai's fault, ya?" he mumbled, crossing his arms.
The assistant left, leaving the three alone.
"Say... wasn't someone right behind us?" Leif whispered to Rick. Rick just shrugged.
"Yeah... Evie.. I wonder were she wandered off to..." Leif asked himself.
"Don't worry it's not like she's Lexi" scoffed Rick.
"good point ya" said Chappu, giving the guys a thumbs up.
--change scene--
"Gosh.. what did I do now?" Shinra asked himself as he went down to hall that lead to the farplane. He didn't want to go see Auron. He barely knew the guy. In fact he didnt want to go at all.
"What if she shows up..." he mumbled to himsef again. Of course he was talking about hid mother. He loved her, but if he saw her, he would probably cry. The whole crew would probably not want to go for the same reason.
He paused at the entrance to the gate to the farplane. Deep breaths... just breathe. One slow step at a time he entered to farplane.
--change scene--
"good for nothing....Millad... tree-dude...thing" Tidus mumbled to himself.He entered the medical chamber where the rest of the guys are.
"hey there ya" greeted Chappu cheerfully. Ironically, he was in pain and the only happy one in the entire room.
"meh..." mumbled Tidus, doing a lazy little wave. Leif looked up, scowling at Tidus. Not because he was Tidus, but because he was an idiot. Leif todl himself this confusing thought.
Rick twirled around his sunglasses and turned to Tidus.
"What'd we miss over there in the chamber?" he asked. Tidus shrugged.
"the tree dude yelled at me" he said.
"was that it?" asked Leif in surprise.
"well... yeah.. oh no..Wait. he also told shinra to go see Auron." Tidus added.
"probably sumthing to do with Yuna" muttered Leif.
" yeah, Millad said he was part of the gullwings. I guess Yuna left something for Lexi and Auron has something for Shinra" said Tidus.
"how cool, ya" commented Chappu.
"not really, i mean... we got zilch" said Rick sourly. Leif nodded in agreement and said, "yeah, but maybe mom left us something at home"
"but that's all the way back in Besaid, kinda pointless don't you think" replied Tidus.
"not our house-home you idiot, home-home. The house of the al-bhed" snapped Leif.
"Say…. I wonder if I could pick me up a girl there" Rick asked himself. Chappu laghed.
Tidus began to look around the room and then raised an eyebrow.
"hey, Evie left way before me, why isn't she here yet?" asked Tidus. Leif shrugged.
"probably trying to seduce Shinra" joked Rick. But there was a heavy silence. Rick sighed.
"ok fine.. don't laugh at my little joke. Geesh, nobody thinks I'm funny anymore" she mumbled.
"I do, ya" said Chappu cheerfully. Rick crossed his arms bitterly.
"shut up fob..." he mumbled and then smiled.
--change scene--
Her boots softer on the floor and anyone else's.
"gullwings..." she whispered to herself as she peered aroudn the corner, toward the entrance to the farplane. Evie had waited, and then followed Shinra.
She couldnt help but be curious, it was in her nature. She approached the barrier and took in a deep breath. She passed through and headed slowly up to the farplane.
--change scene--
Shinra continued to walk up the steps to the Farplane. He finally made it to the barrier.
"ok, here we go..." he took in a deep breath and went through the barrier. Evie not to far behind him.
"ok...so...whos this Auron guy..." Shinra looked around the far plane to find a man on the cliff, sitting in a red cloak.
"Shinra," he said nodding,
"whoa, scary..." Shinra walked up to Auron, and held out his hand for a hand shake.
"hey man, uhhh you're Auron right?" Shinra asked,
"yes," Auron looked at Shinra's hand, and ignored it. Shinra took it back and placed it in his pocket.
--change scene--
"now then, do ya wanna give me that oh-so-valuable-dress sphere?" asked Lexi anxiously.
"Well, not really Miss Alexandria, it was meant for you, only if you decided to become a summoner. But since you aren't… it would be best for you to not have it", replied Millad.
"Hey, if that's my mom's I deserve to have it." Snapped Lexi. Millad raised an eyebrow.
"Little Miss, calm down. I shall have to think this over. Go gather your friends up and come back in about an hour. There's plenty to do around here. Rest up and eat"
"why can't you give me the sphere right now?" she asked in suspicion. Millad's eyes darted nervously as he thought up an answer.
"I have some…. Business to attend to first" he replied shakily. "Bullshit!" Lexi thought. She turned and left for where the guys were.
--change scene--
"what did you need me for?" Shinra asked, looking at Aurons scar behind his shades.
"i am giving you this," Auron gave Shinra a sphere, a video sphere. Shinra gulped, and took it from him. he gazed at it.
"a video sphere, you must wait for your comrades." Evie gazed at them, Auron saw her.
"you will be surprised at what you will see...and if you are man enough you will watch...this may change your future and the rest of Spira's."
"but...what...what if i dont want to know what will happen."
"you should want to know, and show that young lady that you're truly a man," Auron said, keeping his strait face. "and meet me in the flower feild...later...bring your friends,"
Shinra turned around to see Evie, and turned back to Auron, but wasn't there.
"E-E-Evie..." SHinra gasped.
--change scene--
Lexi entered the medical room where the boys were.
"Hey Lexi" said Rick, sloppily waving.
"What did Millad want, ya? " asked Chappu.
Lexi shrugged and replied, "nothing, he said for me to come back later".
"That tree-dude sure is mean" said Tidus, remembering all the trouble the Guado had caused in the past. Should they be here? Who can they trust?
"If they pull anything, we'll be ready" said Leif, clenching a fist. Chappu nodded cheerfully in agreement. Lexi's eyes searched the room.
"Where's Evie?" she asked. A sea full of dumb faces looked back at her and no answers.
"Guuuuys! Shes our suuuummoner!" she whined "we're not supposed to let her get lost".
"Yeah…. Especially HERE" added Tidus.
"Hey, we're not her summoners, you and Shinra are, remember" said Rick. Lexi frowned, grabbed Rick by the arm and threw him to the ground.
"Now listen you! ENOUGH! If Evie disappears this pilgrimage is over and I have to go back to Besaid! I won't go back, in fact I'd rather die fighting Sin than go back!" she yelled. "Lexi…" sighed Leif looking at her.
"Now we're gonna go find her and tell her, she's got herself three new guardians, Leif, Chappu and YOU!" she said and she dragged Rick out of the room, the other followed.
--change scene--
She smiled, "i followed you,"
"y-yeah...w-why?"
"curious, of what Auron wanted of you." Evie said approaching him.
"oh...well..." Shinra smiled at her goofily.
"have you called anyone?" Evie asked, looking at the sky.
"no...i was planning on calling my mom...but...she wasn't sent...she turned into a feind..." Shinra sighed, tears began to swellin his eyes.
"oh...are you sure?"
"no, but she wasn't sent...so..."
"well, try calling her,"
"i couldn't...i can't,"
"why not...?"
"because it was my fault, my fault Leif...and I...don't-"
"Hey! you guys!" Rick shouted as the four walked in.
"EVie!! eevviie!!" LExi screamed as she ran up to her and pounced.
"hey! careful!" Leif ran after her, but he tripped on a loose rock and began rolling after LExi. hitting her and they both began rolling to Evie. The three of them falling off the side of the cliff.
"Evie! LExi!" the group looked down.
"Hey, have you noticed that Lexi usually falls or rolls down the hills or sides?..." Tidus said looking over,
"yah...you're right," Rick agreed.
"will you two shut up? they might be hurt!" Shinra exclaimed, as he ran towards the safe way down.
"ok, ya?" Chappu smiled and the boys followed Shinra.
--change scene--
the three were still falling...falling...falling... Leif grabbed Lexi and wrapped his arms around her, keeping her safe. Evie staring up at the sky, still falling. She shut her eyes, 'no...please...no...'
Suddenly Leif hit the ground hard, leaving an echo of a sickening 'thunk'. Evie heard the noise and shuddered, was she going to fall like that. Instead she just stopped falling. no wind brushing against her face, no rush of gravity, nothing, she just stopped. She opened her eyes and saw Chappu! he had caught her!
Lexi groaned she was in Leif's arms. Apparently he hit the ground first, back first. taking in all the shock.
"Leif! Leif! wake up! wake up!! don't die!! you're body is already in the Far Plane!" Lexi exclaimed, getting on her knees beside him. Trying to shake him up.
"hmm, you need help?" Chappu asked, in his thick accent.
"yah! leif is...unconious! Evie! Evie tell me he's not dead!" Lexi exclaimed worriedly,
Chappu placed Evie on the ground, she checked him. she shook her head slowly.
"no...he's..." Evie answered.
"no...no he can't die...no..." LExi hugged her cousin tightly.
"I'm sorry Lexi..." Lexi sobbed, never stopping, 'why leif? why!? why couldn't i have gone?! it was my fault!' Lexi was so hurt, her bestfriend had...just...no...he was more than her best friend...he was her cousin. the one who always took care of her. Lexi's tears just flowed down her cheeks, like rivers.
"whoa!" Leif sat up catching Lexi off gaurd. He looked around, and saw Lexi. her eyes were red and her cheeks were wet. he was just about to hug her when she exclaimed and slapped him.
"ow, what was that for?" Leif asked rubbing his cheek, she apparently left a hand print on his face. Lexi slapped him again.
"ow!! stop that!" leif exclaimed, "why are you slapping me?"
"because...you were dead, and...now you're not...Evie did you lie?" Lexi asked, sniffing.
"no...he was dead as road kill..." Evie answered, shocked.
"oh, yah...i saw a bright light, and i said, 'Screw it! i got stuff to do!' and came back down...heh." Lexi, Evie and Chappu stared at him blankly. "..."
"YOU IDIOT!!" Lexi punched his nose and stood up, wiping the tears off her eyes with the back of her hand.
"Curse you!!"
"my nose...it's bleeding...now i know how Rick feels..." Leif groaned, and stood up with his head back.
"here, ya?" Chappu gave Leif a hankercheif.
"tanks mhan..."
--change scene--
Shinra and the boys began climbing down the rocky side of the cliff. Everyonce in a while Rick would 'accidentally' step on Tidus' hand or loose his balance to make Tidus fall. Shinracouldn't remember how many times he had done that, and Chappu wasn't helping much. He was laughing, as usual.
"C'mon you guys, hurry! Evie might be hurt!" Shinra exclaimed.
"hey, did you forget about Lexi?" Tidus asked, as he dodged Rick's foot.
"sorry about that," RIck shrugged with a smirk on his face. Tidus glared at him as Chappu chuckled. Shinra sighed, and shook his head, "you guys forgot about Leif too," Chappu and Rick exchanged glances. worried?
"Oh no!!" Rick exclaimed, in his cheesy girly voice. he and Chappu laughed. Shinra sighed, 'to think those two are brothers...'
--change scene--
"Lexi, C'mon, I'm sorry but i wasn't joking! I was dead for like 5 minutes!" Leif argued as the group walked along the flower feild.
"5 minutes?! more like 20! i was sitting there brawling my eyes out cause you were dead! i feel so stupid to EVER cry over you!" That one had shot Leif hard. It hurt.
"God, you're so stubborn! maybe i should have just left you crying! i wouldn't have to put up with your loud mouth!" Leif growled.
"will you two please stop fighting?" Evie asked, trying to calm the two of them. They ignored her.
"Those two will stop soon, ya? They seems too close to be angry for long, ya?" Chappu said, smiling at her.
"i hope you're right," Evie sighs, and sees Sir Auron sitting on a rock in the middle of the flower feild.
"hey!" Chappu smiled and waves, leading the group towards him.
--change scene--
the boys finally finished going down the cliff. the better half was not to be found.
"Shit! you think they're okay?" Tidus asked, looking around.
"It's Lexi, she's always okay..." Rick smirked, placing his hands on his hips to look around.
"well, here's footprints, Looks like Lexi tracks, ya?" Chappu smiled.
"you guys make her sound like some type of animal..." Shinra sighed and began to lead the way. the way of the boot LExi Prints.
--Change scene--
"So who is this with you, Chappu?" Auron asked, as the small group walked up to them.
"Umm...well they fell off the cliff, ya? Lucky they aren't dead, ya?" Chappu smiled.
"Yuna?" Auron stood up and looked at Lexi.
"ok pal, back off..." Leif said.
"and who is this..." Auron gazed upon Leif.
"I ain't Yuna, I'm LExi! Yuna's my mom!" Lexi exclaimed, "and that's Leif, Aunt Rikku's son. and over there is Evie, shes new."
Evie laughed, 'new?'
"ahh, I see the next generation of hero's I see..." Auron chuckled, and went into his pocket to grab something.
"...You still didn't answer the question..." Leif said, eyeing him suspisiously.
"here you go," Auron held out another video sphere.
"for me?" Lexi asked, and Auron nods.
"have you ever heard of, 'do not trust strangers?'" Leif said, grabbing her wrist.
"He's no stranger Yuna, you should know that, ya?" Chappu smiled,
"back off al-bhed, the sphere belongs to Lexi" said Auron. Lexi took the sphere, it was warm in her hands. Someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around.
"you seem shocked, have you forgotten already?" Everyone looks behind to see Braska and Jecht.
--change scene--
"Geez, they walked pretty far..." Tidus said, as they continued on.
"well...we were 10 mins behind them," SHinra answered, checking his watch.
"eh, why are we looking for them anyways? it's not like they carry anything valuble..." Rick said, placing his hands on his head.
"Leif and Lexi is your family, ya? don't to you care?" Chappu exclaimed.
"yeah, but...theycan take care of themselves...I know them Ol' Chap, no worries," Rick smirks.
"so, when do you think we'll catch up?" Tidus asked again.
"if they stopped, we should catch up in about 20 mins..." Shinra sighed and then continued on.
--change scene--
"I'm not Yuna..." Lexi said, turning around glaring at them.
"she used to play this when she was a child, remember Jecht? She would pretend to be Lulu and then Kimahari..." Braska chuckled, Jecht nodded.
"memories, Eh Braska?" Jecht smiled.
"weren't you listening? I'm not Yuna!" Lexi exclaimed.
"then who are you?" Jecht asked, apparently amused.
"the Names Lexi," she said proudly, the two men laugh. Leif bit his lip to keep from laughing himself, he looked over at Evie who was trying to keep a still face. Auron and Chappu chuckled.
"How are you, dear?" Braska asked, hugging Lexi.
"AH! DON'T TOUCH ME! PEDEFILE!!" Lexi pushed Braska off.
"now, now you're my granddaughter. That's enough I was just saying hi to my daughter," Braska said, becoming annoyed.
"what brings you to the farplane Le-axi?" asked Braska.
"it's Lexi," Evie corrected, still trying not to laugh.
"why is she wears the earring that earring her mother always wore?" Jecht pointed out.
"GAAHHH!!!" Lexi screamed out of annoyance.
--change scene--
"geez...they did walk far...it's taking so long..." Tidus whined.
"stop whining, blondie," Rick said, glaring at him.
Shinra started, "will you two-"
"GAAAAHH!!!"
"Sounded like Lexi, ya?" Chappu smiled innocently.
"oh shit, they're introuble!" Tidus exclaiemd and the boys began running towards the scream.
once they got there, Lexi was yelling at Jecht and Braska. Chappu, Leif, Evie and Auron stood behind and laughed.
"what's going on...?" Ricks eyes widened, "there's...TWO CHAPPUS!"
"where, ya?" Chappu looked around,
"over there, beside Sir Auron!" Shinra exclaimed, pointing him out.
"Holy...shit...ya?" the boys went closer.
"What do you mean "danger"? Im always in need of protection aren't I?!" Lexi screamed,
"Kinda ironic, isn't it?" muttered Evie turning to the readers and laughing.
"what's going on here?" Shinra asked, interrupting. everyone turns to look at them.
"old man!?" Tidus exclaimed, his eyes widening, "holy shit!"
Jecht smacks him across the head with his hand, "Don't swear infront of the ladies, especially infront of Yuna's daughter."
"there's no need to be polite in front of Lexi," Tidus said, rubbing his head.
"I'm confused..." Rick said, shaking his head, "two Chappu's?"
"where ya?" both of them look around, stupidly.
"...whoa..." Lexi backed up into Braska, then grabbing on to Leif. Afraid.
"I'm Chappu, ya?" the Chappu beside Rick said, pointing to himself.
"no, I'm Chappu ya," the one beside Auron answered.
"no i am ya"
"no i am ya!"
"I am, ya!"
"I am, ya!"
"ok ok you're both Chappu's, you're giving me a headache..." Tidus sighed,
"Tidus, how did you end up in the future?" Jecht asked, "again?"
"i dunno old man, you're the one who brought me here, remember?" Tidus answered,
"no...must've had too much of Auron's Sake that day..." Jecht shook his head.
"Stupid old man! Now I have to fight Sin again!" Tidus shot, and crosses his arms.
"Could it be? A third generation of my family is going to defeat sin? I'm so proud! Braska said tearing as he hugged Lexi. "A happy summoner family!"
"ah! let...go of me! eww!! Leif! Rick! help! its a dead man!! A DEAD MAN IS HUGGING ME!!" Lexi tried to pull away as Leif and Rick laughed at her.
"Actaully, Lexi is just a blitzer girl. I am the summoner of this pilgrimage" said Evie, stepping forward. Lexi sighed and pulled away from Braska quickly.
"That's interesting, haven't we met before, ya?" asked Chappu.
"Maybe in Kingdom Hearts! ha ha!" laughed Evie. Nobody laughed. Evie sighed.
"that reminds me, Evie, you have new guardians now!" exclaimed Lexi.
"I do?" she asked looking at the rest of the group.
"Uhhh.. of course, Rick, Leif and Chappu volunteered" she laughed.
"volunteered….riiiiiiiiight" remarked Rick.
"That's wonderful" she said smiling and she hugged all three of the boys in thanks.
"Braska, we have business to do..." Auron reminded.
"oh...right..." Braska lets go and clears his throat, "for you, Dear Le-axi."
"Lexi," she corrected frowning and dusting herself off.
"Right...right..." Braska hands her a sphere.
"what is it...?" she asked clenching the other sphere tightly
"A Black Mage Sphere, for you, it will keep you safe."
"ohhh!! Rick! are you afraid of thundra, like your mom?" Lexi had a evil smile on her face.
"no...but LEif is..." Rick chuckled.
"ahhh shut up!" Leif shot back.
"Shinra," Auron nodded. Shinra looked into the sphere and sighed. He didn't want to watch it HERE. Maybe the group could separate and he could watch it with someone he trusted. And Lexi could watch her sphere.
"I wonder what's with that sphere Millad wanted to give me later on…" Lexi thought.
