Dream A Little Dream
Chapter 9: Oddly Disorienting Twists
Well.....two wonderful hours have past. I'm still in the Thunder Plains, sitting behind a rock, too scared to go to Macalania because the entire brigade of Spira Big shots are there.
And yet, in all this commotion, I still can't help but wonder about the age old question:
Can Rocks think?
Yes, I think I might have blown off a screw in the head because I'm so nerve wrecked about this whole Macalania thing and all, but I refuse to rule out the fact that rocks can't think.
I mean if Cactuars are smart enough to ward off ancient evil and form a nation, I think it's pretty fair to give rocks the benefit of the doubt.
Er. Anyway, yes it's been two hours. I've sent Kuppo up to Macalania with my screen grid to see what ever she sees. (pretty clever eh? I thought of it myself). I made tons of modifications to Kuppo, after Gippal gave her to me.
But anyway, I was sitting there, with my monitor and speaker (It's like a cooler version of sunglasses, only I can see things and places and communicate in them like a commsphere, heh heh, stylish and fashionable, I made them myself), listening and watching whatever was happening, waiting for the right moment to go into Macalania.
Kuppo was currently in Silent mode(one of many modes, this one includes being less sparkly and less noticeable heh heh, yet another modification for stealth purposes).
She was camouflaged against a tree recording the conversation.
Bzzzt bzzt
"Are you sure she was heading this way Gippal?" It was Baralai.
"Well, this is the only place the Thunder Plains leads to" Said Gippal.
"Gippal, do you know why she suddenly ran away?" Yuna asked. (I felt guilty cause she sounded so concerned)
"Don't have a clue. All I know is that she's acting weird. Weirder then usual, I mean" (Tell me again why I'm in love with this creep?)
"Quit trying to pretend you don't care Gippal, you were even more unbearable to handle when we found out that she ran away then Brother was" Paine. (He was? Really?)
"Only reason, that was, was because Cid would have killed me" (Creep)
"She wasn't your responsibility." Paine "So you didn't have to worry about it."
"Well-" Gippal started.
"Something's different" Tidus.
I saw everyone turn to look at him.
"What?" Yuna asked.
"I don't know. When I spoke to her, she wasn't as happy-go-lucky, I didn't think about it much, since we didn't say much in the first place, I though she might have just changed a bit, like you" Tidus said to Yuna
She smiled at him and he continued.
"When I first met Rikku, I met her before I met any of you, in the Ruins. I felt....drawn to her, that's the only way to explain it. But when I came back. She felt....different. I wasn't as compelled to be around her then I was before."
(woah, woah, Hang on a sec, are you saying that he was in love with me? that would have been a disturbing twist)
"What in Spira are you saying? Are you in love with her?" Gippal, (He didn't look happy, matter of fact, neither did Yuna)
Tidus put his hands up, as if to ward them off physically. "No! No no......I was never in love with Rikku. Ever" He added with emphasis.
Well that answered my question.
Gippal and Yuna relaxed.
"It's just that......" He sighed, frustrated "I can't explain it, it's like, I met her first for a reason. That we had something in common, I felt like, we shared a common bond or something......I don't know I'm just not explaining this well enough"
"..................Lets keep looking" Paine said, and they walked deeper into the forest.
Bzzzzzzt bzzzzt
I was stunned. We did have something in common. We were both dreams. Was that why he met me first?
Yes.
Great, I'm hearing voices now.
I heard a chuckle, then I figured out who it was. It was that dream I met before, the one that doesn't have a gender? yeah, that's him.
You met him first because your essence were drawn to him.
Oooookay, yeah, that made sense.
You are a dream. He was a dream. Dreams are drawn to each other, Little warrior.
Really, is that so?
That is why, when he returned, when you found him again, he wasn't drawn to you anymore.
I got it. "He.....wasn't drawn to me...because he wasn't a dream anymore?"
Correct. Just like you were drawn to the second dream.
Er. Okay, lost me again.
Why did the Ronso give the sphere that started the Summoner's Story to you, little warrior? Why you and not the Summoner?
......this was freaking me out.
Because instinct was telling him to give it to you. He might not have known it at the time, but the essence of that sphere, the essence of that dream craved to feel the essence of another dream. It worked through him, to get to you.
Woah, so I was the beginning of both their stories? I feel honored. And loved.
.....and oddly, used.
I mean, was I so insignificant that I was only used as the messenger?
Didn't I mean anything to that to anyone?
I tried to shrug it off, but I couldn't help but wonder, if Pops was so concerned about losing his niece (Yuna) then shouldn't he have been the one to tell her to try and stop her pilgrimage?
Bitter? Yeah, I'm a little bitter.
I started to wander back to Guadosalam. I know I meant to go to Macalania, but I'll just have to go there some other time, since I can't exactly go without having to explain myself, and since the dream had told me that no one was to know about this then I can't exactly tell them the truth, can I?
Soon I was back in Guadosalam, Kuppo was on my shoulder(I called her back from Macalania) and we were trying to figure out what to do next.
I glanced at Kuppo, "What an interesting twist in the road, eh, Kuppo?"
She tilted her head at me, her jade eyes unblinking. I buried my face in my hands and took a deep breath. "Where are we going next?"
I could feel her staring at me. This story of mine is getting more complicated by the moment.
"Zanarkand" I said. Kuppo tilted her head inquisitively "Everything starts in Zanarkand, everything ends in Zanarkand."
Why do I always choose places where I have to go very far to get to?
I have to pass by Mount Gagazet, I hope if I meet up with Kimarhi there then he won't go telling Yuna.
Although I'm sure he'll understand. I'm getting nowhere staying here avoiding people, off to Gagazet.
I ran out of Guadosalam, although I don't know what compelled my to run, I just ran.
It felt good to run, like I was running away from all my problems, running so fast that they could never catch up to me again.
I lost myself and can't find it again. I have to try.
Because every second that passes, I feel like a part of my soul is being ripped apart.
Hurry, little warrior, you're running out of time.
Don't mean to pry or anything, but what I'm I trying to save people from?
Time.
Yeah, great, why do I get something as pathetic as time? Tidus got Sin, Yuna got Vegnagun, and what do I get?
I get time......
Oooooh, watch me shake in my well fitted shoes. Poopie.
The Fayth want to dream again, little warrior, and if they can't retain balance, Spira itself will be thrown into chaos. It will disappear, crumble, like Zanarkand has.
Okay, I'll shut up now.
Sheesh, you don't have to bee so crabby.
Yeah, this is going to be a loooong Journey to Zanarkand.
