Author's Notes: Well, Here I am. Back with Chapter 2 of my first Rikku/Yunie fic This one's going to be mostly about Paine trying to figure out how to get a confession out of Yuna. Read on.
Chapter 2... The Doctor's Prescription
Celsius/Deck
Paine is standing atop the Celsius with her arms folded, pondering her mission, 'Hm... I need to find a way to convince Yuna to tell Rikku how she feels...' she thinks to herself, then looks up to the clouds scrolling by, "And before it's too late."
The leather-clad girl lowers her gaze to look forward again, 'If only Rikku would just come out and tell Yuna how 'she' feels.' she stops thinking for a moment, to laugh slightly, 'Heck, I'm surprised Yuna hasn't caught it, herself... Or, has she? Maybe... she's afraid to move on?'
"Hey, Paine!" she hears Rikku call from behind her, then turns to see the Al Bhed girl and Yuna standing just outside the elevator, "What'cha doin up here?" questions Rikku.
"Just thinking." responds Paine.
Rikku and Yuna both notice she's looking at them kindof weird, "Wh-what?" they question, almost in unison.
"... nothing." Paine responds, then asks, "So, What were you two looking for me about?"
"Shinra said he's found out some more about what happened with the sphere-screen and Yunie's dressphere in the Thunder Plains." explains Rikku.
Yuna nods and adds, "And, Brother said he wanted all of us on the bridge to hear what Shinra found out."
Paine turns back away from them, "Alright." she responds, "You two go ahead and, I'll be on down in a few minutes."
"O-okay." Yuna replies, "Um... What're you thinking about?"
Rikku starts rushing the brownhaired girl toward the elevator, "Let's go, Yunie." she says, "We don't wanna make Dr. P mad now, do we?" the two are soon on board the elevator and the doors close.
Once the elevator starts down, Yuna asks, "Why did you do that for? Aren't you curious too?"
"'Course I am." Rikku responds, "But, There's one thing I've learned about Paine... She doesn't release info easy." she finishes by wagging her right index finger back-and-forth.
Back up on the deck... "Okay. Back to the problem at hand, 'How to get those two to realize each other's feelings.' Paine says to herself, '......' "!?" her eyes widen with realization, "That's it!" she exclaims, then rides the elevator down to join the others on the bridge.
Celsius/Bridge
"Okay, It's like this..." Shinra begins, "The Songstress Dressphere reacted with my Sphere-screen and memories etched into the Dressphere where projected onto the screen." everyone continues to listen as the young 'genius' continues, "However, I seriously doubt that it would've happened had anyone else been equipped with Dressphere."
"Well?" questions Paine.
"Yeah, So what're you getting at?" Rikku adds.
"The thing is, I think Yuna is the reincarnation of Lenne." Shinra explains, causing Yuna's eyes to widen, "On the other hand, Shuyin was never reincarnated--"
"Because he never accepted that he was dead, right?" Paine finishes.
Shinra nods, "Precisely." he responds.
"So, then, how do we get Shuyin to hear what Lenne wanted to tell him?" questions Yuna, walking around in a small circle.
"That's where it gets tough." Shinra responds, taking out the sphere that Rikku had brought to Yuna in besaid, "We have to somehow get Shuyin's spirit aligned with this sphere, then we'll need someone to 'equip' it like a Dressphere."
"Okay, So, um..." Rikku starts, "Wh-who would we get to do that?"
"Well, That's the problem." Shinra says, returning the sphere to where he retrieved it, "It needs to be someone who houses an, at least, similar relationship with Yuna for it to work properly."
"Me, me, ME!!" shouts Brother, ecstatically, "I will do it!"
Rikku, Yuna, Paine, Shinra, and Buddy all look at him, then at each other, "... Nah!" they all state simultaneously, shaking their heads.
Rikku glances over at Yuna for a moment, 'I want to tell you...' she thinks to herself.
-----!!To Be Continued!!-----
Ramblings: Okay, Another chapter down, about 3 or more to go. I'm really glad I'm writing this fic and I sincerely hope that there're more people out there that like this pairing(like I do). If there are, feel free to e-mail me at And, If anyone knows where I can get some shoujo-ai(not yuri, preferably) pictures of Rikku/Yunie anywhere, I'd be much obliged if you'd point me in the direction in which they're located Thanks, in advance! Ja til next time.
