Paine's Love
Everyone had gotten all their things packed and left the hotel to go back on the boat. "Is everyone ready," said Lulu. "Yeah, I think so," said Yuna. They had all gotten on the boat. Paine was on deck watching the waves crash into the water. "Hey, what's up?" asked Tidus standing by Paine. "Nothing, what do you want now?" said Paine in a sort of rude way, but you couldn't take it seriously, only because her voice never change. "I was just making a conversation," said Tidus. "Bad idea, I rather not talk to anyone right now, I would like to be left alone," said Paine walking away.
The boat had just reached Luca, they had gotten off and Paine walked strait away. "Thanks for the ride, I must be going now," said Paine walking away sick of all the talking, hellos, and goodbyes. "Paine, hey, is that you," said a boy with some cool shades on. "Who are you?" asked Paine before she answered his question. "It is me, Cloud, Cloud Strife," said the boy. "Cloud..." said Paine as she froze. "It is you," he said as his brown eye's green glow glistened in the sun as he took off his shades. He walked up to her and took her hand. "You, you're...still alive?" asked Paine still very shocked. He laughed and looked her in the eyes. "I thought I might never see those beautiful red eyes again...I am glad I did," he had said with a calm voice. Paine was almost going to cry, but she caught herself and closed her eyes than leaned into him for a hug. "Wo, Paine, you've never been like this before," said Cloud. "I've never been this happy before," said Paine. "Well you don't see that everyday," said Tidus. "Be nice!" said Yuna. "Shut up Tidus, you jerk, she is more capable of getting a good boyfriend, unlike my first choice!" said Lenne with much emotion. Tidus said nothing and Yuna ignored it. Than Shuyin put his arm around her.
"Life felt so empty without you, Cloud, don't leave me again, please!" said Paine with concern and tears building up in her eyes. Which was weird, Paine had never felt anything like this, or acted like this. She was never that emotional or at that fact dramatic. She was usually sarcastic and never worried about guys really. "Hey, you wanna go out on a date tonight with me, Paine," said Cloud wiping away her tears. "Yeah, I would like that," said Paine. "Sorry, right now I have to go, but go to the Mika Hotel and take this card, we had one extra room there that we accidently got so take it and make yourself at home," said Cloud walking away and putting his shades on again. "Hey, Paine... want some help for an outfit for your date?" asked Lenne. "That would be nice, but unfourtunatly, I am broke," said Paine. "Don't worry about that, I have plenty of gil to spend, and don't bother feeling bad, I have more than I need," said Lenne. "Thanks, now lets go to my hotel and check it out," said Paine walking away. "Um, hold on I need to bring my guardian...Shuyin!" said Lenne. They left to her apartment.
"He must have stopped by here," said Paine. "Why do you say that?" said Lenne. "He left a note," said Paine picking up an envelope. It read,"This is a card for the new shop not far from here called Brittannica check it out, I got u a card, I think it's just your style, Love Always, Cloud." She took out the card for 20,000 gil she got wide eyed and held it in her hand. "Wow how generous," said Lenne. "He has always been a bit wealthy, but this much on a girl like me?" said Paine. "So, he likes you, a lot, now lets go to the store and get you a good outfit," said Lenne. They walked into the store, and Paine loved it, everything was black, Lenne liked it somewhat, but wasn't obsessed. "Here this would look great on you, and there is a hairdress place next door I am going to take you after this," said Lenne. The outfit she picked out was a very great one in Paine's taste. It had a sort of odd look, but nonetheless cool. It was a tank top, black of course, with a black ribbon weave in it. Than a black skirt with a bolted belt around it. Than black high heels, about 2 inches high, with a sort of classy paris look. "Now! To the hairdresser, by the time were done there and back at your hotel you he should be there anytime," said Lenne.
They walked into the hairdresser's place. They had signed Paine in and they got started right away, only because Lenne was a summoner. When they were finished she looked great, Lenne was proud of herself. Now much was changed, but Paine looked more like a young teen than a warrior. Her hair was down and strait, but they had them dye it a more black color and they put silver sparkles in it. Paine liked it a lot, and thought that, now she looked way better with Cloud, more now than ever. They walked back to the hotel and so many men asked her out on the way. She had fun saying no im sorry I am taken, yeah FUN! Crazy for a girl as serious as her huh? "This is weird, really weird," said Paine. "Welcome to my life," said Lenne with a little chuckle. "Thanks for walking me back, I will see you another time," said Paine shutting her door. "See she isnt so bad, right," said Lenne. "No, I just ignored you guys most the time, I didn't want to interrupt your wonderful conversation," said Shuyin. They walked back to the hotel they were staying at. "Hey guys no time to go to your room, Maester Mika is here!" said Yuna. "Oh, alright," said Lenne. They went to meet Maester Mika and he had much to say, he was nearly 120 years of age now.
Paine was waiting in her room and twisting back and forth in the mirror when there was a knock on the door. She opened it up. "Hey, wow," said Cloud tipping his shades down to the tip of his nose. "I know, don't you like it?" said Paine. "I...yeah, I like you anyway you are," said Cloud. "Good, because, I wont always wear this outfit, I still like my old one, but this hair is never leaving me," said Paine. "I like the hair down, but I liked your old silver hair better, but whatever suits you best," said Cloud. He gave her a black rose and than kissed her on the cheek. Things were looking up for Paine. A loud crash went on in town square. "What was that," said Paine. "No, why does everything bad happen whenever I am about to have a good time," said Cloud. They ran outside to see what it was, turns out it was an Al Bhed named Cid and another Al Bhed named Rikku, who were flying a plane and planing to land on a flight landing they reserved, but they crashed into the statue in town square.
