Forever and Always—chappie 3

Fifteen Years Later

"PASS IT HERE! COME ON! I'M OPEN!!!"

"NOT A CHANCE, CUZ! I CAN'T LET YOU TAKE ALL THE GLORY AGAIN!"

Young teens were swimming on the beach of Besaid, playing a nice game of blitzball.

"TYSH OUI, PIDD RAYT!!! OUI'NA CU CAMV-YPCUNPAT!!!"

Cringes—well, not too friendly…

Every one laughed while trying to get the ball from the "self-absorbed" one.

"ZAFM! HOW MANY TIMES HAVE I TOLD YOU NOT TO CUSS AT JECT!" The girl addressed looked down at the water in disappointment.

"Cunno."

"TELL THAT TO YOUR COUSIN, ZAFM!" The girl distorted her beautiful face into a disgusted one and raised an eyebrow.

"But…"

"NO BUTS, ZAFM! YOU GO AND APOLOGISE TO JECT RIGHT NOW!" The girl mumbled under her breath and slowly swam to where her cousin was standing, doing his victory dance. Everyone watched in disappointment as she solemnly swam her way towards Ject. Ject stopped doing his dance and stood proudly in the shallow water, watching as the young woman came to him, standing about eight inches from the boy.

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah, I'm sure you are!" This only angered the girl.

"No, I'm sorry you are such a self-absorbed butthead." Zafm dove into the water, and, being the fastest swimmer, swam towards the old ruins of Besaid, where her under-water cave was. The cave led up to the waterfalls, where you could hop back onto the main path, leading to the village. The village has expanded quite a bit, since she was born, or so her mother, Rikku, had said. Besaid was actually for vacation, but they come here a lot. Her real home was on Bikanel, inside the underground castle that led up through the sand. She loved living there, but she had to sneak out when she could to fight fiends. She had to learn somehow, right? Heck, her mother helped beat Sin and beat the colossus, Vegnagaun! And her father, Gippal, was a part of the Crimson Squad, right? And he helped with that big colossus. So, just to make it brief, Zefm knew how to fight, and how to negotiate. That came from Gippal. She knew how to sing, too. The weird thing was, Rikku only screeched and Gippal, well, let's just say he didn't sound too good, either.

Zafm swam to her secret cave, swam under, broke the surface, swam to the surface, grabbed her placed towel from the little stool she put there, (and she also put an old yellow sofa, a telesphere another word for TV., a water-proof rug, a supply of towels and robes, and a small mattress that folds out of the sofa, with a supply of pillows and blankets.) and settled down with the remote to the sphere and plasma screen, while briefly glancing towards the mini hot spring, big enough for about seven people. She jumped seven feet out of her chair when she saw the son of Barali and Paine.

"Brock!!! FRYD DRA RALG TU OUI DREHG OUI'NA TUEHK? DNOEHK DU CLYNA DRA MEJEHK LRULUPUC UID UV SA?!!!" He laughed at the look on her face. He was the only one, other than me that knew about the place. Yeah, he was a ruler, or prince, of Bevelle/New Bevelle Order. He had tanned skin, black hair, and blue eyes. He was handsome! Not to mention his body…

"E's cunno, Zafm! E teth'd sayh du clyna oui mega dryd!" I just sighed and smiled at his apology in my native tongue. He has always lived around our castle a lot, so he decided to learn Al Bhed ahead of the time that he was supposed to.

"Ed'c ugyo. E zicd teth'd aqbald oui du pa rana, oad." We both smiled at each other, and let out a string of kicks and giggles. "Anyways, we should be heading back to the village, now. But, man am I in deep cred when I get there."

"What'd you do this time, Fem?" He called me by my nickname.

"I gave that self-absorbed butt-head a name to remember…" I smiled nervously as I played with my fingers.

"Haha…what was it?"

"Cred rayt."

"YOU DID???!!!" Brock exclaimed with eyes as wide as blitzballs, and his jaw to the ground.

"Um…I was thinking it." Brock sighed. "I only called him an self-absorbed-butt-head."

"Tch! Why do they even stand up for Ject, anyways? He's got enough confidence to sore right through it!!!" I just stared at him blankly. "What?"

"No, you don't say?"

"Did I note some sarcasm in that phrase?" I rolled my eyes at him. Boys can be so clueless in certain times of hardships, can't they?

"Well, time to face my doom." I said as I led the way to the waterfalls of the Besaid main trail. We hopped out, and suddenly found ourselves surrounded by our parents.

MERRY CHRIS-TA-KUANZA-KA!!! HAVE FUN!!!!

LOVE,
