I wrote part of this in Physics class (surprise, surprise). We had a guest speaker on aeronautics and the physics of flight. He was demonstrating by throwing Frisbees and drink coasters. Now, I was sitting in the back row, looking down at my Palm, not really paying attention to what was going on at that moment. He threw a coaster. I didn't even see it coming. I swear, I now have an honest-to-god *welt* on my forehead.
You might have noticed that I totally circumvent all that happens in the game. This is partially because you all know what happens and partially because I'm too lazy to transcribe dialogue.
Once and a while, Tidus makes a face that causes him to look like a duck.
If I hear the songs: I'll Know, Bushel and a Peck, Adelaide's Lament, Guys and Dolls, or Sue Me one more time, I *will* kill someone. I really will. And we still have three more performances to go.
The guy playing Benny...he's a midget (well not really...but he's shorter than I am and I'm only 5'5"), he's wearing a bright yellow suit with vertical black stripes (scary!), and his dad's name is Seymour(!). And he smirks when delivering all his jokes, which effectively kills every single one of them.
Exactly one week from the moment I'm writing this, I will be arriving in Seattle for spring break (we're driving up to Whistler, BC). If it were not for that, I think I would go insane.

Auron could not keep his mind off of the many aspects of Rikku. First and foremost were her breasts. He could not forget how they had felt under his hands. Next was her hair. It was long and golden and silky and smelled wonderful and Auron could have thought of a plethora of adjectives to describe its radiant beauty. Then there were her eyes, and her nose, and her mouth...but his thoughts always seemed to return to her breasts. He was ashamed of the fact that he was thinking these things about her. 'Dirty old man,' Auron thought to himself, 'stop that!'
***
Rikku had thought she hated Seymour before, but that was nothing compared to how she felt now.
As they entered the temple, she had been thrilled by Auron springing to her defense. Of all the people to judge, the Guado were in no position to. They should know how much it hurt to be on the receiving end.
She and Auron were growing closer, despite his original outright rejection every time she had tried to talk to him. But it was odd; she had noticed he grew...colder towards her when the others were around. Though, of late, he didn't seem to be in much of a talking mood.
Rikku couldn't believe what had transpired in such a short period of time. What would happen to them now that they had killed a Maester? Not that Seymour hadn't completely asked for it. It was a case of kill or be killed. He had pretty much told them to rip him a new one. And they had.
The escape from the temple had been harrowing at best, with the ensuing battle being quite difficult for the tired bunch.
So now they were trapped under the ice. Which was not a very good position to be in. And Rikku was still freezing. And soggy to boot.
She wandered through the debris, looking for a place to rest. They were all tired, but their troubles were clearly far from over. First and foremost, in Rikku's mind at least, was the Yuna issue. Rikku wanted nothing more than for her cousin to give up her pilgrimage. That was looking less and less likely the farther they progressed.
Rikku found a seat, albeit a makeshift one, and sat, pulling her legs out of the water. She was still mulling over all that had and would happen when Yuna wandered over. She sat next to Rikku, shaking her head.
"I feel so bad for bringing you all into this."
Rikku grinned at her. "We're your guardians. It's our job to get you out of any messes you make. Even Wakka realized what needed to be done."
"I want to apologize anyway. So, I'm sorry, Rikku."
"Apology accepted." Rikku paused. "I guess the chocobo thing is off then?" Yuna giggled.
"Thank Yevon."
Yuna was wondering what Rikku would have thought had the wedding taken place and *not* been on chocobo. Rikku thought about toasters as she watched something that looked like one float past.

Wakka and Tidus were discussing the state of affairs pertaining to the pool.
"What do you think happened with the speeder thing?" asked Tidus.
"I dunno," replied Wakka, "but he did pull that hair out of his mouth."
Tidus's eyes widened. "You don't think that hair was from h-"
Wakka cut him off quickly, before he could finish the statement. "No, it was too long, ya?" (AN: In physics again, and the kid next to me- one empty seat between us- is writing out multiple checks...weird, no?)
Tidus thought about the minimal experience with the female species that his time playing for the Abes had provided. He had to play it cool.
"I know that! Remember, I *was* the star player for the Zanarkand Abes. So maybe he...kissed her head while on the speeder?" Tidus suggested. Poor Tidus. He might have been a star player, but he certainly hadn't managed star *playa*. (AN: Yo, Yo, Yo! This here's pimp daddy Tidus and his ladies...)
"Or maybe her hair got blown back in his face when they were moving," said Auron. Tidus and Wakka nodded dumbly, then realized who had spoken.
"Ahh...Auron...we were talking about...uhh..." Tidus's usual talent for getting himself into deeper trouble was certainly apparent. Auron's gaze was unrelenting. Tidus and Wakka both shifted uncomfortably like small children caught with Play-do in their mouths.
"Tidus?"
"Yeah?" he replied in a very small voice that was threatening to jump up yet another octave.
"Shut up. I know what you were talking about. Why is it you think that something happened?"
Tidus was afraid his answer would give it all away.
"Uh...you guys just disappeared..."
Wakka was relieved that he wasn't the one being grilled. He attempted to sidle out of the line of fire completely, but Auron wasn't about to let that happen. He turned his gaze on Wakka, who cowered.
"You two are looking way too far into things. I don't want to hear it again." Having said this, Auron spun on his heel and strode off.
When he was out of hearing distance, Tidus and Wakka collectively let out the breath they had unconsciously been holding.
"He doesn't know, ya?"
"I hope not." Tidus was afraid Lulu would find out about their indiscretion. That new moogle of hers scared the crap out of him.

Rikku had gone from very cold to very warm in a very short period of time. She sat in the bright sunlight, quite comfortable in her brief attire, which was well suited to the blistering heat of Bikanel Island. Just as long as she was careful not to stay in the sun too long; then she looked like overcooked lobster. She idly wondered where the others were, especially Auron. She hoped he was here and *very* uncomfortable in his heavy jacket. She was still mad at him for the comment he had made about her clothes (or lack thereof...).
She was also very worried about Yunie. She hoped they hadn't *all* been separated. But then she saw a sight that dismayed her in a very major way. It was everyone *but* Yuna coming over the dune and walking in her direction. She hoped that some of her fellow Al Bhed had picked poor Yunie up. She hoped this didn't mean that they had failed as guardians. She stood and waved, then ran over to them. She was happy to note that from what she could see of Auron's face, he looked quite uncomfortable. Sweat trickled down his brow. Rikku smiled nastily.

Not the longest chapter I've written, not by a long shot. I had a few days in which I was just way too tired to think, let alone write something funny. So I went to bed at nine o'clock last night. Usually I go to bed at two in the morning, so that made a huge difference in how I felt today. The next chapter will be longer, I promise.
I wrote part of this listening to Herb Albert. The Spanish Flea is just too great. If I could do it over, I'd play the trumpet rather than the flute.
As always, reviews are good! So leave them! I *love* people who leave reviews (especially if it's every chapter!), so those of you who have should feel good about yourselves. Those of you who haven't reviewed should feel bad. Cause you suck major ass, really you do. All you guys can feel free to IM me or drop me a line. I'd like that too. ^_^
