Chapter 3: Why Zanarkand?

Saturday 10am, Yuna was sleeping in again, sleeping in has become a habit for her now since she was too occupied with texting Josh during the night. They've only been going out for a week or so and she's already stuck to him like super glue!

She apathetically unlocked her eyes from her beauty sleep; she was gazing at her creamy ceiling and started wondering about Linda and Josh. Thoughts were rushing to her mind one after the other.

'Is there something that Josh isn't telling me? I mean Linda is becoming a bit attached to him, every time she sees him she gives off a friendly face? What's with that? It's not like Linda.' Yuna's mind was struggling for the answers she seeks but none were found. There was a sudden knock on the door.

'Who is it?' Yuna directed the question at the door.

'Yunie it's me Rikku! May I come in?' Rikku said.

'Sure.' Yuna responded still half asleep.

'Hey you wana go shopping with the group?' Rikku asked cheerfully.

'Sure.' Yuna responded once again still looking drowsy. 'Pass me my shopping day garment grid will you?' She sat up on her bed with one eye open and a finger pointing to her desk.

'Oh, so you're finally using your garment grids.' Rikku said mischievously while crossing her arms. 'I thought you wouldn't use them in a million years! I was gona take'em sooner or later, but now seeing you trying to get yourself organized you can have them officially.'

'Hey what do you mean by officially? They were always mine to begin with! I just never used them that's all.' Yuna stared at the draw where she kept her garment grids and focused.

'Yunie what are you trying to do now?' Rikku's reaction changed, she uncrossed her arms and gave Yuna a heavy look. 'Don't you dare! Remember what Sensai told us?!' she ran and slammed her hands against the draws to re-enforce them to not open. Yuna stopped.

'Oi, there's no one around and besides Sensai isn't going to know now move or I'll blast you as well.' Yuna threatened while she took ground.

'But Yunie, Sensai is the master at Black Magic she always has a way of telling whether or not you've revealed magic into the open!' Rikku began to squeal as she heard footsteps coming up the stairs. Yuna could sense the presence of Brother heading towards their room.

'Brother!' At the same time both of them scream-whispered to each other. Rikku dived under Yuna's bed while Yuna readjusted herself as she took a seat on her bed. The door opened.

'What fuss is going on? I am trying to sleep,' he paused and thought for a moment, 'here.' He finished his sentence trying to make it seem like he was frustrated. 'Your friends outside making a fuss like you two!' He paused again and turned to face Yuna, 'Good morning Yuna.' His whole emotion changed, he was speaking gently but it wasn't really classified as gentle and you could tell he was trying to flirt with Yuna.

'Out! Out out out!' Rikku screamed while still under the bed. 'This is our room! At least knock on the door and ask for permission to intrude!' Brother backed off and went back downstairs frightened by his sister's rage. 'Hah! Now that oughta teach him a lesson or two.'

'Rikku I can't believe you'd do such a thing, he's your brother you're suppose to be nice to each other. You don't know how lucky to have a sibling.' Yuna sighed.

'Oh give it up, stop being a goodie-goodie, Brother was flirting with you! Can't you see or hear how he talks to you all the time? Or are you disabled in both of these senses?' Rikku disrupted Yuna impolitely.

'Well now you do mention it, it does seem a little odd. He probably just hates you.' Yuna poked out her tongue directly to Rikku.

'Aw!' Rikku's rage began to burn up again. She puffed up her cheeks. 'Just get changed!' Yuna watched as her cousin's green eyes envisioned into flames.

'Ok ok, just pass me the grid then, geez.' She rolled her eyes at Rikku.

'Here, and don't you ever roll your eyes at me again.' Rikku chucked the grid towards Yuna and departed.

Yuna caught the grid, tiny sparks materialized from the grid and her pajamas shone and changed into another outfit. Her pjs which were originally blue with hearts on them changed to a top with no sleeves which was white with a frill design on the edges and her skirt was a light denim skirt. She snatched her purse and stumbled down the stairs as usual.

'Ok, next stop Besaid Central!' Sakura shouted with excitement. Just before Sakura stepped on the pedal one of the servants rushed out of Rikku's house holding the phone.

'Wait! Sorry for interrupting you Lady Yuna and Lady Rikku! But there's an urgent call from Lord Braska!' Carmen shouted as she ran down the steps.

'Aw now what?' Rika said eagerly.

'Geez, why does something happen just before the moment to freedom?' Yuna whined as she stepped out of the car. Rikku stepped out of the car and shook her arms side to side as she normally does when she gets annoyed.

Yuna snatched the phone out of the servants hand as she got a tint more annoyed.

'Dad?' She said curiously.

'Yuna, I'm sorry to disrupt you on this fine day but there is something really important that you and Rikku must do for me.

'Dad can you make this quick? My friends are waiting for me.' Yuna spoke with an annoyed tone.

'Can you and Rikku go to Zanarkand for a while? I've already booked the Zanarkand flight on Tuesday,' Braska's voice lightened. 'and its first class because I know you get a little air sick sometimes. ' Yuna was shocked she never expected something like this to ever happen.

'But why? Me and Rik are fine here, why Zanarkand?' Yuna was beginning to get frustrated.

'I can't tell you the reason yet, but when we meet again I'll tell you. Take care Yuna.' His voice returned to normal.

'But dad!' Yuna persuaded.

He hung up and tears started to build up in Yuna's eyes as her hand fell down from carrying the phone near her ear. The servant took the phone from Yuna's grasp and hurried back to the house.

'Yunie what's wrong?' Rikku asked getting a little worried.

'Yeah Yuna why are you crying?' Yuki said while hopping off the car.

Was it something your father said?' Yumi joined Yuki. Yuna began crying, the thought of leaving her friends behind and Josh, she couldn't bear it.

'Dad...said...that me...and Rikku need to go to Zanarkand for a while.' Yuna was choking from crying and talking at the same time. She couldn't say anything properly because she was overwhelmed by her father's news.

'What?! Did he say why?' Rika asked.

'No he didn't, he just said when I see him he'll tell me.' Yuna calmed down and inhaled. Sakura jumped out of the car and patted her back.

'C'mon Yuna cheer up, he didn't say that you have to stay there forever, only just for a while.' Sakura made an attempt on cheering Yuna up. Rikku walked beside Yuna and gave her a hug.

'Don't worry Yunie, it's not that bad. I mean at least we don't have to sleep!' Rikku forced a giggle but it didn't work. 'And besides I'm going too so everything's gona be fine.' Yuna stopped crying she looked up and noticed Linda in the car without saying a word.

'C'mon you guys let's go and shop our hearts out then!' Rika yelled with a smile. Yuna brightened up.

'You're right, I'll need some new clothes if I'm gona have to last in the city where no one sleeps!' Yuna wiped her tears away. 'Hey Yuki and Yumi can you help me out there?'

'Sure! And Yuna you need to fix up your mascara!' They both said in unison with a wide grin on their faces.

'Yeah I will on the way!' Yuna answered/

'Ok let's go then!' Sakura suggested out aloud.

'It's shopping time!' Yuki and Yumi said again in unison.

'Yeah!' Rikku joined in.

Ok! I know Yuna doesn't want to leave, but Rikku sure wants to! I'm sure Yuna'll change her mind sooner or later. But what's with Linda? She's not acting normal! Something fishy is going around here!
