(Ok here is the 2nd part of the Rikku Paine story that began with True Feelings reveled)

Celsius Paine's room

Rikku and Paine lay in each others arms their mission that was interrupted less than an hour ago finally finished. Paine was almost asleep but Rikku was fully awake.

"Paine." Rikku said.

"Yea?" Paine asked.

"If we go against Sin there is a chance I may be taken from you." Rikku said.

Paine shifted in Rikku's arms and looked at her.

"There's no way I'll let that happen." Paine said.

"But if it does what then?" Rikku asked.

"I'd follow you." Paine said. "But you will be fine."

Rikku sighed and moved in closer to Paine and finally drifted to sleep with her head buried in her chest. Paine laid awake contemplating Rikku's words and was afraid she was right.

'Is I loose her now I'll go back to the farplain and bring her back with me.' She thought.

She leaned down and kissed Rikku's forehead and finally fell a sleep holding Rikku in a lover's embrace.

Yuna's room

Yuna was pacing back and forth thinking about the mission.

'Zanarkand.' She thought. 'I hope I can find him. What am I thinking he's the star player of the Zanarkand Abes he'll stick out like a sore thumb.'

She kept walking around her room going over her things time and time again. Her Sphere grid her Dress Spheres and other things.

'I hope he remembers me.' She thought. 'He will. I know it.'

Yuna sat on her bed and laid back and started tossing and turning as she tried to sleep.

'We start the mission first thing in the morning. I need to get some sleep.' She thought. 'Can the 4 of us defeat him? No we need help but Wakka has to look after his kid and same with Lulu. Kimahri has the Ronso's so who will help?'

Yuna sat up in her bed and walked out onto the bridge.

"Brother we are gonna need help with this mission." She said.

"Got anyone in mind?" Brother asked.

"If we could I'd bring the whole Youth League." Yuna said. "Hey now that's an idea."

"No it's not too many people." Brother said.

"What about bringing Lucile and Elma?" Yuna asked.

"I'll go for that." Brother said. "As long as their willing to help."

"The will." Yuna said. "They still have a hatred of sin so they'll help."

"Ok then next stop Mushroom Rock road and the Youth League HQ." Brother said as he turned the ship.

2 hours later

The Celsius landed right outside the Youth League HQ and Yuna went right inside to ask Nooj for help. She found him standing in the doorway of the HQ with several guards around.

"Oh Yuna It's you." Nooj said. "I thought we were being attacked or something. What brings you here so late?"

"Sin does." Yuna said.

"What?" Nooj asked taking a step back.

Just the mention of Sin sent fear down the guards spines.

"I received a Sphere from the farplains with my father Sir Auorn and sir Ject warning me of the danger." Yuna said. "The Gullwings are going to the farplains to face it."

"The Youth League is at your disposal." Nooj said. "All the soldiers you want."

"I only need 2." Yuna said. "Captain Lucile and Major Elma."

"I will have them summoned right away." Nooj said.

A few minutes later Lucile and Elma entered the briefing room in full armor.

"Maven we were told there is trouble." Lucile said.

"That's right Captain." Nooj said. "It appears Sin is trying to come back to Spira."

Lucile and Elma went pale at the mention of Sin.

"What do you want us to do?" Lucile asked.

"Go with Yuna and defeat Sin before it can come back." Nooj said.

"Understood." Lucile said. "Let's go there's not a moment to loose."

Lucile, Elma and Yuna ran out to the Celsius and boarded. As soon as they were on Brother lifted off and headed for Mackalania woods.

"Ok you too sorry to say but there is only 1 more room so you'll have to shear the bed." Yuna said.

"That's ok." Lucile said looking at Elma. "We were already shearing a bed tonight when we were awoken about the trouble."

"Oh." Yuna said. 'Great I'm surrounded by lesbians.'

"Well good night Lady Yuna." Lucile said and she and Elma walked into the room.

Yuna walked into her room and lay down on the bed.

'Maybe now I can get some sleep.' She thought as she closed her eyes.

Early the next morning

"Everyone report to the bridge." Brother said over the intercom.

Yuna got up and walked into the corridor and was met by Lucile and Elma. The 3 of them walked o the bridge and waited for Rikku and Paine. Rikku and Paine were just getting out of bed when brother came back on the intercom.

"Rikku, Paine to the bridge immediately." He yelled.

"I'm gonna go up there like this." Paine said looking at her nude body.

"You'd kill him." Rikku said. "Besides we'll probably start the mission right away."

"Yea your right." Paine said as she started getting dressed.

Rikku was soon dressed and waited on the bed and waited to Paine then they walked onto the bridge hand in hand.

"It's about time." Brother said.

"Oh be quiet." Rikku said.

Rikku looked around the room and saw Lucile and Elma and looked at Yuna.

"Why are they here?" She asked.

"I thought we could use some help." Yuna said. So I asked them to come."

"Well that will help." Rikku said. "There were 7 of us when we when up against it the first time. So I guess we can do it with 6."

"Lets hope be can." Lucile said. "Otherwise all of Spira is lost now that there are no more summons."

"Hey wait a minute." Rikku said. "Wasn't Zanarkand destroyed by sin?"

"Well maybe we'll go to Zanarkand before Sin attacks." Yuna said. "That's the only way I can think of finding him."

"Gullwings it's mission tome." Brother said as he set the ship down at the opening of the woods.

"So where is this path that you were talking about?" Lucile asked.

"It's in the cave that Ochu was guarding." Yuna said. "But he is dead so we'll be safe."

Yuna and the others walked through the woods talking idly about whet ever came to mind and watching for fiends at the same time.

"So Lucile how long have you and Elma been seeing each other?" Rikku asked.

"I see Yuna told you." Lucile said.

"No I can see the way you look at each other." Rikku said. "It's the same for Paine and I."

"Oh I see so you're both." Lucile said.

"Yes we're seeing each other." Paine said.

"Well I had been hitting on Elma sense before operation Mehin but she kept shooting me down saying 'Its not proper for a commander to be dating her people.'" Lucile said. "I never let up though and 3 years later we were on patrol through the forest when Ochu attacked. Elma was taken and I ran back to HQ to get help. On my way I found a herd of Chocabos I took as many as I could tame and continued on to HQ where Maven Nooj gave me command of his best knights."

"And that's how you restarted the Chocabo Knights right?" Rikku asked.

"Yes." Lucile said. "And as you know we finished off Ochu and Elma rode behind me on the ride back to HQ. It was later that night when Elma came to me to say thanks but instead of saying it see basically fell into my arms and well we ummm."

"We had sex right there in her room." Elma said. "And that's where we still were when Yuna came to ask for our help."

"Oh I see." Rikku said.

"So how did you and Paine fall in love?" Lucile asked.

"Well we." Rikku began.

"Hey guys we're at the cave it time to go to Zanarkand." Yuna said smiling at the thought of seeing her love again. "Let's go Zanarkand awaits."
