Chapter 2

Lulu rushed to her room. She slammed the door and sat down on her bed. One of her braids fell on her shoulder. She brushed it away and looked out her window. She saw the ocean and how it stretched out. She slipped off her shoes and placed them at the side. The sun was slowly disappearing and she heard Yuna and the others come in. Someone knocked on her door.

"Go away Wakka," she said, her voice sharp and piercing. She turned full forward at the window and crossed her arms. She heard the door lock click open and someone come in. "I said go awa-" she yelled as she turned around. Auron stood at her doorway. Wakka's tall hair peeked out from behind his shoulder. Lulu tensed up for a second but seeing Wakka made her rage increase.

"Wakka, hiding behind Sir Auron, you could've thought of something better," she said shifting her weight from one foot to another.

"Well-" Wakka began.

"There are no rooms left," Auron interrupted, "We need a place to sleep." He looked over to a couch and two chairs.

"What about Tidus?" Lulu asked.

"Kimarhi is rooming with him," Wakka butted in.

"I wasn't asking you," her voice cut through him, "What about Yuna, why me?"

"She asked to be alone, and this is the only room left," Auron said.

"But-fine. If you come near me, I will freeze you in your place," Lulu said. Auron walked in. He took a seat in the chair closest to the door. Wakka jumped on the bed. "Excuse me Wakka," Lulu looked at him.

"What? Can't I get the bed?" Wakka asked. Lulu grabbed his foot and threw him off the bed.

"Try me," she said. Wakka rubbed his back as he walked over to the couch. He sat down. Auron's breathing slowed and he fell asleep. Wakka turned to his side and grunted. Lulu sat down in the middle of the bed and laid on her back. She closed her eyes. All she saw was an astounding bright light, white. After an hour of opening and closing her eyes, she turned to her side. Her legs were caught to the belts so she sat up. She moved to the edge of the bed and stared out the window. Her head slowly lowered and she shut her eyes. Her world became black. All she dreamt of was her longing to be with Chappu. As she slept peacefully another being in the room awoke. He saw the figure of Lulu sitting by the end of the bed. He wiped his mouth and shook his head as he made sure it was Lulu.

He walked over to her and saw how beautiful. Her head was down, which to him meant she was thinking. Well, that's what everyone assumes when her head is down. He took a seat next to her on the bed. Her head lifted a little and she mumbled incoherently.

"Hey," he said, his voice soft. She moved her head back and forth. In her dream, Chappu was moving farther and farther away from her. He looked at her.

"Hey," he said, this time raising his tone. Lulu lifted her head to the man's shoulder. He looked at her and lifted her by her chin.
