(Chapter One) -.:.:.-Lovely Lover -.:.:.-

The young summoner gazed at her forlorn self in the mirror.

She pulled her lips back into a smile, and opposing the impression of beauty, the young summoner turned away in repulsion.

She could not even smile anymore; instead all she was left with was a pale, hideous, and apprehensive identity.

It was only too soon that she'd drift with the pyre-flies in the land of spirits ....

Dead.

She was petrified by the thought of death...

Throughout the years of her existence, she focused on fighting Spira's spiral of death.

However, the romantic premise, "If at first you don't succeed, try again", led her to start doubting.

Her mind bubbled:

Some would say, "Even if it is wrong to question the Fayth, isn't it immoral to encourage others to sacrifice themselves if Sin was to return? Many summoners have wasted their lives trying to defeat Sin, what makes Yuna any different from them?"

Yuna thought about that ever since Tidus brought the subject up, back on the Mi'ihen Highroad, nevertheless, she still agreed with what she said before.

"Don't say it isn't worth it, because it is."

She continued to agree with it.

Yuna leaned her body upon the wall while a silent tears crept down her cheeks.

"Yuna, do you know where my Cait Sith doll is? I can't find him anywhere! And, my brush is gone as well!"

Yuna concealed her face, and recognizing the distant voice, she replied, "No, I'm sorry Lu Lu, I haven't seen your doll or your brush, but you can use mine."

The black mage nodded and swept the floor of the tent with her long, silk, maroon colored nightgown.

"It's an elegant setting outside, the temperature is satisfying as well, similar to Besaid......you would like it....and it's our last chance before we enter Guadosalam, then the Thunder Plains....most likely you wouldn't want to picnic out there." Lu Lu chuckled.

Yuna dried the moist traces of tears away with the edge of her thumb and swiveled.

"I think I will...a little later."

Lu Lu observed Yuna attentively, hopping to make her confess why she was so gloomy.

Yuna struggled to fight against Lu Lu's burning stare; she was not willing to have any discussion about her inner feelings.

Lu Lu finally decided to speak, "Yuna, I know that you're upset, I'd like to know why."

Yuna shook her head, "I'm just feeling..."

Before Yuna finished her sentence, Rikku hopped into the room with overwhelming glee, "Where've you two been? You're missing all the fun!! Me and Tidus were poking Auron and he never said anything or moved!!! Eeee hee hee heee!!" she giggled like a prancy school girl.

Rikku beamed, "So.........what were ya two talkin' 'bout before?"

Lu Lu glanced at Yuna, sending her the message: "Leave it to me."

"Yuna is feeling ill,"

"Oh well, I can go and make ya some sou--!"

"ACTUALLY Yuna is rather tired and would prefer that there was no excitement."

Rikku either didn't take to Lu Lu's hint or she was stubborn because she had her feet super-glued to the floor.

Lu Lu let out a sigh, "....I'm going to sleep. Goodnight you two."

The two teenagers chorused, "Goodnight, Lu Lu."

Yuna abandoned the tent and paced outside, having nothing better to do.

"You're not sick...well, at least it's not viral...."

Yuna turned around to discover her bubbly cousin behind her, "Rikku?" she inquired.

"I know why you drown in mental aguish..." the young theif purred

Yuna was taken back by Rikku's dramatic change of vocabulary.

"I can help, but I just have to know one thing..."

Rikku glided up to her cousin like an ice skater and whispered in her ear, "Can you keep a secret?"

(It'll get funnier soon....ohhhh and remember that part when Rikku hops into the tent and tells Lu Lu and Yuna about Tidus and her poking Auron, but he never said or did anything? Well, I borrowed that from the Buckingham Palace guards. Hee heee.....don't mind this horrible chapter cause I'm no good at intros.)
