Rikku woke up in her bed. She got dressed and walked outside. Even though it was early the sun was shining as bright

as in the afternoon. She turned and froze in shock when she realized all the Al Bhed soldiers standing outside the doorways

with guns. She tried to turn but two soldiers had already grabbed her shoulders and were pushing her twords the beach.

They shoved her down on her knees. She looked up and saw Cid standing over her with his arms crossed.

"I shoulda' known that I'd find you here!"He yelled at her angrily.

"Where is everyone?!"

"Does it matter?"

"Tell me!"She demanded.

He stepped aside and showed her a machina that had her friends trapped inside. They were all pounding against the side.

Her jaw dropped and she stood up."Let them go!"

"Why? So you can get them to fight for you? No way!"

She clenched her teeth together. "I don't need any help kickin' your butt!"

She raised Godhand.

"You'd fight your own father? Where did I go wrong?"

"Uh let's see... oh yea! When you kinda you know were FORCING ME TO GET MARRIED!"

"Don't raise your voice to me!"

"Too late!"She lunged at him.

He dodged and Al Behd soldiers came in front of him. After she had defeated most of them Cid and the rest of the Al Bhed ran

into the airship and flew away. Rikku sighed and ran over to the machina that held her friends. She pressed a few buttons and

it opened. Everyone hopped down. The girls wrapped their arms around Rikku almost crying.

"Oh Rikku...,"Yuna started,"We're sorry!"

"They snuck up on us while we were asleep!"Lulu said annoyed.

"Well,"Rikku smiled sadly,"we knew it'd happen eventually..."

The boys stood watching the girls conversate. When the girls finally let go of Rikku they returned to their men (A/N didn't

know how to say that...). Rikku ran to Auron and hugged him nearly making him fall over.

"Auron! I'm sorry!"She said snuggling her head into his chest.

"Sorry?"He tilted her face up twords him revealing a tear stained face."What for?"

Rikku's eyes spilled over with tears again. "I put everyone in danger!"

He wiped her tears away with his rough hands. "No." He hugged her tightly and whispered,"It wasn't your fault. I proud of you

Rikku."

She looked up at him. "Why?"

He smiled down at her. "Because you didn't panic when your friends were in danger. You came prepared. You didn't care who you

had to fight. And you fought bravely."

She smiled. "Thanks Auron. You always make me feel better."

He pulled her into a passionate kiss. It lasted for a while and then they pulled away and went to check on the village.

A/N I don't know if I'll write more. If I do it'll be a little bit until I get the next chapter up. If you have any suggestions

then please tell me! Don't forget to reveiw!
