"You're welcome." (cracks knuckles) "Here I go. Hey, and guys, if you think my writing's bad, don't rub it in." (Puts fingers on keyboard and then starts typing)
Yuna POV

Chapter twenty-four: Slight Changes
It was still dark when I opened my eyes, they found their way to the ceiling and I had thoughts in my head. I wanted to talk to Serenity, I knew that something had happened between them an Serenity was a part of this. Why didn't she help her, Vunita? I couldn't help but look at her in a different light now. It's just so weird. Why didn't she do anything or see what was going on if Vunita was her best friend or something? Yevon! What's her problem. I needed to talk to her and right away. Or could I wait? I didn't think so. I turned on my side and looked at Tidus. He was fast asleep. Yeah, he was a heavy sleeper on the other side.
Lying on my back again, I looked up and then whispered out loud, "Serenity, could I speak with you for a moment or so?" Okay, so it kinda sounded retarded but then I really felt like I had to have a talk with her. I sighed after I heard nothing except Tidus' light snores and my breathing... then I saw the blue glow that outlined my body. Great. Off to the Farplane we go. Closing my eyes, I felt being lifted off my bed and then into the air. The next moment I opened my eyes and I saw the waterfalls, pyreflies and the meadow of pale blue and purple flowers. "Serenity, where are you?"
"I'm here."
I turned and saw her, in the same blue dress that I saw her in always. Did she even know what was going on? Or was it hidden to her for a whole two thousand years? I forgot if Vunita told me or not. "What is it that you want to tell me?" she asked in an uncertain tone in her light voice that was similar to mine.
I rested my hands on my hips and then stared into her misty blue eyes. "Okay, so you're saying that you don't know. Have you got an idea how long your friend was waiting to get someone to care for her? Geez, man. You could have at least talk to her or something. Vu-"
"What did you say?" Serenity asked. She didn't hear who's name I was going to say but then she was onto me. "What are you talking about?" Okay, so maybe she just didn't want to hear what I was going to say next.
"Well, I was going to say that your friend Vunita is in me too and she just wanted to be heard and noticed. Is that to hard to give her? I mean you were her best friend-"
The watergoddess took a step forward and then I took one back. So maybe she did remember her? "I don't know anybody who's named that. You must've gotten all this wrong."
I furrowed my eyebrows. "Hey, of course you now her! She was your friend, okay? And to proove that, Vunita sent me a dream and I understood perfectly. She wanted you to understand but then I think that it's not going to come."
Serenity cocked her head a bit backwards and looked at me with her blue eyes in a dreamy look that were half closed. "I wish you to be gone," she whispered.
I was starting to fade and I stuck my hand out, "Oh, no you don't missy! Come back here or should I say let me stay! You just don't wan to admit that you hurt Vunita!" My body was fading and more faster now.
Before I left, I heard her say: "No, it was her that hurt me."
I gasped and opened my eyes. I was back in the Celsius again. My body was cold and clammy. What did Serenity mean by Vunita was the one who hurt her? Maybe something happened before that happened to Vunita when she was lonely. Maybe she did something to Serenity and that made her ignore her? But then Vunita said that Serenity was the one who was ignoring her. Maybe she was telling me lies that were true - or maybe partly true.
I didn't want to think about it so then I closed my eyes and then went back to sleep...
Serenity POV
How can Vunita still be here? I thought that she would parish with all the others of Spira long ago. How was that possible? Maybe she did something to let her follow along with me. And she told Yuna. What, though? Something that made her believe that I was the one who hurt her? But she was the one that hurt me and made me to that. She... she. I shook my head. I was going to have a talk with her since I knew that she was in this world with me. She wouldn't be in the Farplane so I think that it meant that she would be in a demension out of this world in Spira? I think so... I walked to the outskirts of the Farplane and made my way to my destination.
The cold air blew around my shoulders. This was the realm between dreams and reality. Surely she would be here? I wanted to get some things straight. Maybe this was all a misunderstanding to the both of us. "Vunita?" I called out. The name that I haven't said for so long felt to raw rolling off my tongue.
I turned around when I had this feeling that there was somebody behind me... who was watching me. "I am here." It was her. I stared at her face. It was such a long time. I took in everything that I saw before my eyes. "Do you know how long I was waiting for you?"
Putting a hand to my forhead then dropping it abruptly I said, "Two thousand years."
"I followed you, you know. To say things that I never had the chance to. But then you left and I followed. Now you are here. You never noticed me and you kept Tyde as if he were yours!"
I knew what this was about but only a part of it though. "He isn't mine. I stay with him and he chose me to stay with, okay? He is not going to be with you in a way that we are together. I'm sorry but that's how it goes. After all he wouldn't go to ever since you tried to sleep with him. That hurt me, you know. That is why I ignored you the rest of my days. It wasn't because I had privileges or I was the protector of Spira. It was because you hurt me and Tyde. And I have heard that you have poisoned Yuna's mind thinking that I was the first one to hurt someone here."
There was a glint of anger in Vunita's red eyes. She never looked at me with so much hatred after a long time. "You, I cannot believe you! You will not be in my way again. I will have something that I want I I don't have to get it from you to get it. I will have it. I will!" She faded before I could say anything else. Sighing, I made my way back to the Farplane to Tyde. I wasn't going to tell him where I was or who I had just talked to. I knew that it would hurt him if did. I didn't know what to see through Vunita now. She just wanted some one to love her. To hold her when bad times were near but I didn't know how that would be possible in my point of view. To tell you the truth, even though she hurt me, I just want her to be happy.
Vunita POV
That stupid loath of a person. I will get something and soon. Of course, I want Tyde but there is not chance that I would ever get him anymore. After that night, I can't- I will never have him... Why did this have to happen to me? If only I knew that, that was coming then I would still be friends with Serenity and I would be resting. I am surprised, there are tears in my eyes. There is no one to hold me right now... but that will change... once I get him from her. He won't be Tyde but someone similar enough that I think will make me happy.
I bend down and pick up a black crystal. Walking to the dead everwood tree in the realm between the two worlds I take it and carve: Yuna. Next to it I draw a circle and then I stabbed the crystal into the wood. Red oozing liquid poured out. It will work, I'm sure of it. Wanting to make sure that it would work, I stabbed it in more. It would hurt him but it will pay off. It was a fortune that the Demons of Darkness taught me this.
It would work and I would get what I wanted.
