Author's Notes: I'm back with the third chapter of my Rikku/Yunie fic here, YAY! Well, I had mentioned that I wouldn't, however, I AM going to add in a Rikku-POV song(sung, of course, by Rikku). And, It's gonna be in Al Bhed: "Oui tu cbayg Al Bhed, tuh'd oui?" However, In case you don't, I said, "You do speak Al Bhed, don't you?" A-anyway, For everyone who can't speak Al Bhed, I'm going to place the translated lyrics in my Ramblings at the end of the fic. As always, in my fics, song lyrics are noted by (beginning) (ending). Also, I wrote the song in this chapter just like I did in the one in chapter 1, so I own it. So, Read on okay?

Chapter 3... Rikku's 'Big Secret'

Celsius/Deck

The elevator's door opens and Rikku emerges onto the deck of the Celsius, taking a look around to see that she's the only one up there. The blonde Al Bhed walks to the front of the deck, where the 'winged ornament' is. She places her right hand on the object and looks up to the sky, a tear forcing its way into one of her eyes. Rikku slowly slides down into a sitting position with her knees together and her feet out to either side of her, then hugs herself tightly and looks back up toward the sky. As she watches the white puffy clouds roll by, she begins humming, then words come(in Al Bhed, of course), Rikku begins to sing slowly...

Rikku allows the last lyric to drift down into a whisper before stopping, then lowers her head and her eyes widen as she spins her head around to see Yuna and Paine standing there near the elevator, Yuna has her hands clasped together and looks almost in awe.

"!?" Rikku gasps, "Um, H-how long've y-you guys been here?" she asks, nervously.

"Long enough to hear you singing." responds Paine, folding her arms.

Rikku swallows a lump in her throat and hazards her next question, "H-how m-much of it d-did you understand?"

"E luimt ihtancdyht ed veha." Paine replies, in Al Bhed.

Yuna steps forward slightly, "I still don't know Al Bhed, but that was a beautiful song, Rikku." she says, "Where'd you learn it?"

"I just kinda heard it inside, ya know?" Rikku responds, giggling slightly... while mentally breathing a sigh of relief, "So, uh, What's up?"

"The Machine Faction sent us word they've got some new toy, they think can defeat Vegnagun." Paine replies, "And, It gets better. They want 'us' to test it."
-----!!To Be Continued-----

Ramblings: As promised, Here's the translated version of the song:

I wish it were me
You see in your dreams
I wish it could be
That I was part of your schemes

I wish I could tell you
What I want to say
That before I met you
I didn't know my way

Everywhere we've gone
And thanks to you
I know where I belong
I know who I am

I love you and I've tried to show you
I've tried to express it
Though we might be related
I don't care a bit

I wish it were me
You see in your dreams
I wish it could be
That I was part of your schemes

After we met, I couldn't stop thinking
About how I was going to save you
How I could stop you from sacrificing yourself
But then I found there was nothing I could do

The longer we were together
The more I wanted to save you
Now I realize, though
That it was me that was saved by you

I wish it were me
You see in your dreams
I wish it could be
That I was part of your schemes

I wish it were me... it were me
You see in your dreams... in your dreams
I wish it could be... it could be
That I was part of your schemes... your schemes

I wish it were me.
Why can't it be me.
Everything I want to tell you, Yunie.
Is three little words that I just can't say...

I love you... ...

And, There you have it, the song: 'I Wish it Were Me' aka 'E Fecr ed Fana Sa' written by: Me(Armor King). P.S I own all rights to this song and it can not be used without my permission. Also, I won't be typing anymore chapters til I've got some feedback on these three. And, also, because I want to know if you all think I should have the battle with the Machine Faction's 'Experiment' in the next chapter or not(see? I have to know this, or else I can't write the next chapter, get it?) In a-anycase, Review and let me know okay? Ja for now!
