And finally the moment you've all been waiting for:

         Paine was standing alone on the deck of the Celsius. It was late at night, a few days after the murder was solved, and the stars seemed to be shining brighter then ever. Because of his recent conviction Baralai had resigned as praetor of New Yevon and was now traveling on the airship with the Gullwings. The Gullwings, they had reformed with new members Tidus and Baralai and were back into sphere hunting. With all that went on you'd think Paine would be happy, but there was still one thing troubling her. She loved Baralai, but... Paine felt a had on her shoulder she didn't have to turn to know who it was.

         "Mind if I join you?" Baralai asked.

         "Go ahead." Paine said emotionlessly.

         "What's bothering you?" Baralai has a sixth sense for knowing when Paine was upset.

         "I... do you..." Paine took a deep breath, she really wasn't good at saying things like this. "Do you just love me because I proved your innocence or do you..." Paine felt tears welling up and she feared if she continued to speak some would fall.

         Baralai looked to the stars, as if they would tell him the answer. "Paine... If you really want to know the truth..." Paine braced herself for the worst possible answer. "I have ever since we were training for the Crimson Squad." Well it wasn't the answer Paine thought, good thing. Paine threw her arms around Baralai's neck and kissed him, longer then before. Then there was a familiar giggle.

         "Ooo! Am I interrupting anything?" Rikku had such timing for these things.

         Paine sighed before saying "Yes, actually you are. What do you want?" Rikku giggled more.

         "Remember Commander Lucil from the Youth League?" Rikku continued "well the Youth League was falling apart after Nooj was convicted, and she brought them back together in only a few days!"

         "So" Paine was begging to get annoyed with Rikku.

         "The Youth League made her the new Maven!

         "That's nice." Paine said to Rikku, expecting her to turn and leave. Paine and Baralai stared at Rikku for a minute. "Good bye Rikku." Paine prompted.

         "Oh... Oh yah, I'll let you two get back to ummm..."

         "Uhhh... Rikku?" Baralai was getting annoyed now too.

         "Oh right! Bye" finally the hyper 17-year-old ran off. Paine sighed happily.

         "Alone at last..." Baralai said staring into Paine's eyes.

         "Not quite" Paine says turning to you. "Ummm... You can leave now too." You sit confused for and minute.

         "Me?" you say even more confused.

         "Yep, bye."

         "Pushy, pushy" You say as you turn to leave.
