10 Years Ago Part 1

"Hey there's a boat at the dock! You gotta come see!" Shouted Wakka from the edge of Besaid village to a girl about his age, 13 or 14. She was sitting in front of the temple with her Moogle doll, making it dance around and chase a local dog. When she heard Wakka's voice, she looked up. Then she sighed, picking up the doll and walked to where he was, her black braids swaying behind her and her hair pins clinking gently against each other.

"What do you mean I have to come see? If it's just another load of tourists or Blitzball players, you might as well forget it." She said quietly, making sure her doll was safely tucked in the crook of her arm. Wakka shook his head, he knew that Lulu would have doubts, she always did. Last time he took her down there, it was because there were some funny looking tourists from Guadosalam. She did not't talk to him for a long time. It even took some persuasion from another villager just to get her to talk again.

"No, no, no, no. This time I'm not kidding. There's a Ronso on board and I swear I heard a little girl too, she was laughing and jumping around." He said waving his hands in front of him.

"Let's hope you are right, for your sake." Lulu said as she brushed past him and headed for the beach. Wakka put a hand behind his head and picked up his Blitzball. He had been at practice with the Aurochs when the boat arrived and he was sure they wanted him to come back sometime soon. There was a game in a few days against the Al Bhed Psyches, the best team in the league, and they needed to be ready. No one said they were going to win, but the goal was to do their best, even if it meant just one goal in the entire season.

"Hey, wait up Lu!"

A good 5 minutes later, they were at the beach, standing on the dock with most of the other people in the village. They all wanted to see who the new arrivals were. Just then, as most of them were getting ready to leave, a fairly tall Ronso with a broken horn came of the ship. He did not't look too happy either, so everyone kept their distance. He walked to the end of the ramp and looked back on the ship, gesturing for someone to follow him. This confused many people, but they found out what he was doing a few seconds later. A small girl, about the age of 7 came out from behind the ship's wall, her hands behind her back out of shyness. She took a look around and saw how many people were there, and then she gasped and hid behind the wall again. Many villagers thought this was cute and chuckled a little. Wakka even laughed, but Lulu remained quiet. The Ronso sighed and walked back up the ramp and bent down to pick up the girl, placing her under his arm, and walked back down the ramp again. The little girl squirmed and kicked around a little shouting,

"Put me down, put me down!" The villagers laughed again. Then he put her down on the dock; she was ready to run again, so he gently kept a firm grasp on the back of her purple dress. Wakka went up to the two and looked down at the girl.

"Well hello there, and what is your name?" He asked, smiling. The little girl stamped one foot, crossed her arms and looked up at Wakka.

"Yuna...what's your name?" She said pouting and still trying to get away from the Ronso's grasp.

"The name's Wakka. Nice to meet you. Oh yeah, and that girl over there, that's Lulu." He said pointing over to Lulu. Lulu had an idea, so she placed a small charm on her Moogle doll. The doll leapt out of her arms and marched over to Yuna. This delighted Yuna so much she squealed and jumped up and down. Then she looked at Wakka again, a large grin on her face, and pointed up at the Ronso.

"This is Kimarhi. We came here all the way from Bevelle!"

"Bevelle? Whoa, that's a long ways away. What brings you here? Visiting family?" Said Wakka. Yuna shook her head.

"Nu-uh. I'm gonna live here!" She giggled. Many of the villagers who were still there started to murmur to each other.

"Yuna, we are needed at temple." Kimarhi said, ushering her towards the end of the dock.

"Okaaay." She said reluctantly.

"Guess we will be seeing you soon, huh Yuna?" Wakka waved.
"Yeaah!"
Yuna's arrival caused quite a stir in the village, but Wakka and Lulu did not really care. It just meant another kid in the village.

"I'll be seeing you later Lu. I gotta finish practice." Wakka told Lulu while they were walking down the beach a few minutes after their meeting with Yuna. Then he gave her a peck on the cheek and ran over to the other players towards the shore. Lulu stopped walking and touched the cheek he kissed, smiling softly. Then she blushed slightly and walked back to the village. Wakka watched her go back to the village and smiled. Then Wakka's younger brother, Chappu and one of his teammates, Datto came over and each placed a hand on his shoulders.

"You really do like her, don't you?" Said Chappu laughing. Just then Wakka snapped out of his daydream.

"So what if I do?" He said smiling and shoving his Blitzball in Datto's arms.

"Both of us know we aren't good enough for her, we are just a little jealous, that's all." Said Chappu, also watching Lulu.

"I'm not too sure that she likes me though, I mean I did tick her off pretty good a few weeks ago. She didn't start talking to me again until last week. Remember?" Wakka said shoving his brother, trying to get his eyes off of Lulu.

"Ah yes, the tourists from Guadosalam. Who could forget that one?" Datto laughed, almost falling over.

"Come on, Coach wants to talk to us before practice is over. Something about that big game against The Psyches in a few days." Said Chappu, pulling Wakka down to the others, leaving Datto there laughing.

A few hours later back in the village, Lulu was sitting on the temple steps again. This time, she was sewing a new doll, a cactuar. Sunset was beginning, leaving a crimson color everywhere. She had just finished the final stitches when Yuna came out of the temple with one of the Priests. She looked tired, but she still had a dreamy smile on her face. Lulu put down the doll and looked over at them, the priest said something to Yuna, leaving her standing in the doorway and headed over to Lulu. She stood up and gave him the prayer salute.

"Miss Lulu, I wish to ask you and Wakka a favor. I presume you have met little Yuna over there?" The priest asked.

"Yes, we both have. What is the favor? I'm sure Wakka and Chappu will agree with me."

"Yuna needs a place to stay for a while. A temporary residence you might say. I was wondering if you would mind if she stayed with you two for a while? We have asked the other residents, but they have no room, and she knows you two." He said looking over a Yuna, who was playing with her hair while standing there.

"Stay with us? I...uh. Sure, why not?" She said after a moment's hesitation.

"Splendid! Lady Yuna, would you come over here please?" The Priest waved her over and Yuna ran energetically to them.

"Stop calling me Lady Yuna, just call me Yuna!" she said stomping one foot. The priest sighed.

"Alright Yuna, Lulu has agreed to let you stay with Wakka and her for the time being. You will move in tonight."

"I get to live with Wakka and Lulu?! YAY!" Yuna jumped around chanting "yay, yay, yay."

"Many thanks Miss Lulu, and may Yevon bless you." the priest said, then he walked away. Just then, Lulu felt a tug on her dress. She looked down to see Yuna clinging to her.

"Yes?" she said laughing softly.

"When will Wakka be back?" Yuna said with sad eyes.

"He will be back in a few minutes, he is at Blitzball practice with his brother at the moment. You look tired, lets go and get you to bed." Lulu said leading Yuna to their place, leaving her doll on the steps. She would come back for it later.

"Alright." Yuna said yawning. "Wake me up when Wakka gets here though, okay?" Lulu smiled.

"I will." she lied. She needed to tell Wakka, who knew if he would take it the right way, and she wanted Yuna to be asleep just in case.

As Lulu put Yuna to bed, she could hear Chappu's voice ringing from the entrance of the village. Yuna fell asleep quickly, so the only problem was keeping Chappu's voice down. She hurried out to them and met them in the center of town.

"Hey Lu! What's--" Chappu began, but Lulu cut him off.

"Would you be quiet! For Shiva's sakes, You are loud enough as it is! You could probably lure in every fiend for a hundred miles!" she hissed.

"Oh...sorry Lulu." he said quietly.

"I need to talk to Wakka alone, do you mind?"

"Uh yeah sure Lu. Check ya later!" he said hesitating, then he headed off to the Crusader's headquarters, bouncing his Blitzball in the ground as he walked. Lulu watched him walk away, Wakka did too. That was the first time in a while that he had been scolded by Lulu. Then she turned back to Wakka who had a puzzled look on his face.

"What was that all about?" he said keeping his voice down. She looked down for a second.

"Nothing, look Wakka, I need to tell you something. Earlier, one of Priests of the temple asked me a favor. Well it was really pointed at the three of us, but it was before Chappu and you got back from practice. He asked if Yuna could stay with us for a little while. He said it would be a temporary residence until a little later on." she started to walk to the temple steps.

"Yeah, and what did you tell him?" Wakka asked, keeping up with Lulu's pace. When she got to the steps, she picked up her cactuar doll, then she looked up at Wakka.

"I told him that she could stay with us. Thing is, I didn't know how to tell it to you and Chappu. I was afraid that you would be mad at me or something like that."

"Me, be mad? Nah." he said, putting a hand behind his head and sighing.

"I'm sure Chappu wont be either. Having Yuna around should be fun. We could be like her siblings, yah?" he laughed. Lulu was delighted at his response to the whole situation and smiled.

"So then, do you want to tell Chappu or should I?" she asked making sure her doll didn't have a loose stitch on the right foot.

"I'll go tell him. I'm sure Luzzu and Gatta want to know what's going on too. That way I can say that I knew too and it was okay by both of us." he said, then he gave Lulu another peck on the cheek and went to the Crusader's HQ. What Wakka didn't know was that Chappu had been watching both of them from inside the tent. He didn't hear much, but he saw everything up to the kiss on the cheek. How long was he going to keep trying? Wakka was naive to not see what was going on. Chappu wasn't too happy with his brother either. Before Wakka could get inside the tent, he acted like he was resting on one of the beds. Then he jumped up when Wakka came in.

"Hey Chappu, I got somethin' I wanna tell ya!" Wakka said as he walked in. At the same time, some of the Crusaders saluted him, and he did the same back.

"First, I have something I want to ask you..." Chappu said standing up and walking closer to his brother.

"Okay, I guess. Shoot brudda."

"Why do you keep making advances on Lulu when you know she doesn't like you?" he said seriously.

"Wha..? What are you talking about?"

"You know what I mean, I saw what you did on the beach and a moment ago. She only acts like she enjoyed it. But you know she dosen-"

"You lie!" Wakka interrupted him, furious at what his brother was saying to him. Whoever many Crusaders who stayed inside to talk to their friends, decided now was the time to leave. One by one they filled out, not wanting to interfere with the argument. Outside, while Lulu was putting the final decorations on the Cactuar, she saw them all leave. Then she asked Luzzu who was walking by:

"What is going on in there?"

"Wakka and Chappu are in another argument..." he said sighing. Lulu stood up, dropping the cactuar doll at her feet and worrying the worst had happened and Chappu didn't agree with Wakka.

"This can't be good." she ran for the tent and found the feuding brothers in the back, each of them in the other's face. Chappu was in the middle of his rant at Wakka. Lulu stood there, not saying a word just yet, not until she found out what this was about.

"The only reason I didn't say anything earlier was because I didn't want to embarrass you in front of her. I know that she means a lot to you, but ya know what? She means more to me than anything in all of Spira.. and I sure as hell have known her longer than you. I comforted her when her parents were killed by Sin. Not you, you were out playing Blitzball with your friends!" Chappu's voice was filled with anger and stress. He hadn't said anything to Wakka about this in a long time.

"That's because I didn't find out until after I came back home and found her crying at the temple. You didn't bother to come down and tell me!" Wakka tried to keep his composure and stay calm, but it wasn't working...

"What is the meaning of this?!" Lulu shouted as she stormed over to the brothers and looking at each of their faces for an explanation.

"I..uh..Wakka, you explain." Chappu said quickly, trying to take himself out of the spotlight. He was embarrassed as it was because she had most likely heard everything he said about her. Not to mention he jumped slightly at the tone in her voice.

"No Chappu, you explain. Why were you fighting about me?" she said, fuming with anger. The two were way too old for childish games such as these.

"Ah, ya know Lu, just sibling rivalry. It's nothing really."

"No, I don't know, enlighten me." she said simply. "You should not be fighting, especially over me. Enough you two. Wakka, why don't you tell Chappu what you wanted to tell him." she said sighing loudly at the same time. Again, Chappu was chewed out for something stupid he did. Wakka smiled softly and put a hand behind his head, like he always did.

"Ya know that little girl that came here a few hours ago, Yuna? Well earlier, Lulu and I were asked if she could stay with the three of us since none of the other residents were either wiling or had enough room. We thought it would be nice, she'd be kinda like our younger sister, ya? I hope you aren't mad or anything like that. But you have every right to be." Wakka looked down when he finished, he didn't want to look at his brother's face, just in case he was mad. Lulu watched both of them for a second, first she studied Wakka's face, then Chappu's. Wakka was upset, more than she had ever seen before. Chappu's face went from a scowl to a smile, then a laugh. it was a toothy grin at that, he laughed just like his brother.

"What is there to be mad about, ya? Of course the High Summoner's daughter can live with us!" he said laughing. Wakka and Lulu had no idea that Yuna was Braska's daughter, so they just looked at him with disbelief.

"You mean she is High Summoner Braska's daughter and heir?" Lulu asked. Chappu laughed again at their faces.

"Come on, let's go and check on the little runt." and he walked out of the tent, leaving Lulu and Wakka standing there.

"Come to think of it, there was some resemblance to Braska when I looked at her face. She also had one green eye and one blue eye. Do you think she could be half Al-Bhed? How odd." Lulu said quietly.

"She can't be half Al-Bhed, ya know? Braska was a follower of Yevon, he couldn't of fallen in love with a machina heathen, much less marry her. Maybe it's something in her bloodline, yah?" Then he sighed and looked at Lulu with a sorry look on his face.

"Look Lu, I'm sorry you had to see all that. It's just.." he sighed again. "I just don't know how to explain it. Chappu and I have known you since we were little kids, ya? And now that we are older, friendships start to change. Both my brother and I have fallen for you, but we just don't know how to express it. We usually end up bumping heads and fighting when we both think of you at the same time. I'm sorry, I shouldn't even be telling you this.." he began to walk out the door to head to their place.

"Wakka, it's alright, I know what you mean." Her slight blush came back when she spoke.

"I know I will most likely have to choose some day. But until then, lets just be friends, your brother and you both, okay?" she smiled. Wakka smiled back at her and nodded.
"Got'cha. Now, whadda ya say we go check on the little runt too?" he said smiling.
"You better be careful, if she doesn't like being called 'Lady Yuna', then she wont like being called a runt either." Lulu said as she walked out of the tent and headed to where Chappu was standing in the center of town. He had an odd grin on his face.

"Such a little angel, although she talks in her sleep. She kept repeating something about Bevelle. Who knows?" he shrugged, talking louder than normal for some reason. Maybe he was trying to make his presence known, kinda stupid I know. But that's men for you.

" It doesn't matter at the moment. I suggest we all get some sleep." Lulu said, trying to keep Chappu's voice down by putting a finger to his lips in annoyance. Wakka yawned and went into the house, then Lulu followed in suit. Chappu stayed where he was for a moment, looking at the sky that had just turned from blood red to a dark violet color. He sighed, watching the sky then whispered: " Why, why can't I say anything to you? I just embarrassed myself, and now you see how immature I really am." then he walked into the house slowly. Lulu and Wakka were already sound asleep. Since Yuna was put to bed on Lulu's spot, Wakka gave up his and fell asleep on Chappu's. As confusing as things were, Chappu didn't mind, he must have stood out there longer than he thought. So he sighed again and flopped down next to his dozing sibling and closed his eyes. He didn't have to worry about Wakka, he was a heavy sleeper by nature. Then he heard Yuna say something again, it was the same thing she said earlier. He shrugged it off and turned on his side, then fell into a deep sleep.

"Daddy!" Yuna cried out in the middle of the night. She shot up in bed, tears running down her red cheeks, and her pillow was damp from crying. It was that dream again, the same one she had been having since she left Bevelle. In the dream, she saw her father, Sir Jecht, and Sir Auron. She remembered meeting both of them and since that day, had a crush on Sir Auron. They were all in Besaid, standing at the entrance to the village. Her father had said something. "This is where I want Yuna to live." those words haunted her...had he really said that? She needed to get that dream out of her mind, even though she had a feeling that the dream might re-occur as she got older and the more she thought of her father.

Lulu was sleeping on the bed not more than 4 yards away from her. The way she slept was a lot like her mother, even though Yuna did not remember much. She was lying on her side with one arm hanging off of the bed and the other one was under her head, she had a smile on her face so her dreams must be good ones. Yuna was uneasy about waking up Chappu or Wakka so she pulled off her covers and tiptoed over to Lulu. Then she climbed in her arms and snuggled closely. She was warm, something else that reminded Yuna of her mother. It was such a comfort that she fell asleep quickly. Lulu felt something in her dream touch her, it felt almost too real. She woke up to see a small black figure was snuggled next to her. Her eyes still needed time to adjust, but she could tell that it was Yuna. So she just smiled and fell back asleep. She would do whatever needed to be done to make Yuna feel at home.

The next morning, Chappu and Wakka slipped out to catch the boat to Luca for their game later in the day with the rest of the team. But not before they caught sight of Lulu and Yuna.

"Aww..that's so cute, ya?" Wakka said smiling and tiling his head to the side. He nudged his brother making sure he was paying attention to what he was saying.

"Huh? Oh yeah...look at that. They are perfect for each other. Dontcha think?" Chappu had turned around to look at the two still sleeping.

"Come on bro, they are waiting for us at the dock. Don't want to be late now do we? It might seem like we don't want to come." Chappu stuffed his things into a small bag and slung it over his shoulder with ease. Then, before he left the tent, he leaned over Lulu and kissed her on the cheek. Lulu shifted slightly but didn't wake up.

"You commin' bro?" he said walking out the door.

"Uh..yeah, I just forgot something. I'll be there in a sec." Wakka said hesitating and looking for some imaginary thing. Chappu shrugged and said nothing as he walked outside. Then making sure that Chappu could not see anything, he walked over to Lulu and Yuna and stood there, watching them sleep. So peaceful. He leaned down over Lulu as Chappu had done earlier, but he kissed her on the lips. It was a small kissed, he pulled away faster than she could wake up, if she did.

"I'll miss ya Lu." he said quietly before slipping out after his brother. The two walked along the road leading to the shrine to pray for a safe trip. Sin was still out there, might as well let Yevon know that you still have faith and maybe your ship wont get overturned.

"Chappu?" Wakka asked quietly while Chappu prayed.

"Yeah bro?"

"You remember when you said that you were going to join the crusaders one day. And how you said that you want to defeat sin to avenge our parents. Why can't you just let the Pro-Crusaders do their thing? Why do you have to go with them?" Wakka was flooded with questions, and he wanted answers. Chappu sighed and stood up after finishing his prayer and looked at his brother.

"All three of us lost our parents to Sin, we all want revenge for that. I, out of us, am the only one capable of actually going out there and doing some damage. You are one of the star players of the team, even if we don't ever win. Lulu is a gentle black mage, chances are, she would never be accepted by the Crusaders anyway. And I really don't have any other plans in life other than to protect those I love the most.

"Wakka, you know I love Lulu, I can't let anything happen to her or you. And when I do leave, I don't want you to think of me. I want you to live every day as much as you can. When I come back, I will marry Lulu. By then I will be enough of a man that she will have to accept." Chappu was hyping himself up and making Wakka feel less and less like he was useful for anything. Wakka kept his eyes to the ground, he didn't want to see his brother die at the hands of Sin, nor anyone he knew. He wanted to tell his brother to stay here, that he will only lose his life out there and not accomplish anything. But he knew when Chappu made up his mind, he stuck to whatever decision he made.

"Sure Chappu." Wakka said quietly before standing up again. "Come on, we are going to be late."
