Pieces of PainChapter 11
Paine
Paine couldn't help smiling at the excitement Leblanc was displaying as she rushed around the mansion packing for the trip. Paine however was a little less excited.
Nooj and Leblanc had refused to say anything more about how everyone was, and she desperately wanted to know.
"Nooj come on just tell me how they are. I mean what's the big deal about that?" Paine demanded frowning at the man in front of her.
Nooj refused to look at her, he kept concentrating on the work he had in front of him.
"Nooj!" she yelled furiously.
"FINE!" he yelled back.
Paine smiled, "Thank you."
Nooj just glared at her. "Lulu and Wakka now have three kids Vidina, Chappu, and Paine. Rikku is living with Auron but they haven't decided to get married yet or not. Yuna is married to Tidus but neither Rikku nor Yuna have kids yet. Baralai is still leader of the New Yevon Fraction and Gippal is still leader of the Machine Fraction. Brother, Buddy, and Shinra are currently running a weapons shop in Luca. There happy now?" Nooj demanded.
"Yep thanks Noojie-Woojie." Paine said dodging a ball of crumbled paper. She walked out of the room laughing.
"Paine?" Leblanc called from the room to her left.
Paine sighed and entered the room. "Yeah?" she asked.
"Are you completely packed? We're leaving in a few hours." Leblanc said looking at Paine's warrior outfit in disdain. "Really must you wear that hideous outfit love?"
"Yes I must." Paine replied evenly.
Leblanc sighed, "Fine don't take good fashion advice from the fashion queen."
"More like drama queen." Paine muttered to herself. Leblanc heard her but she pretended not too.
" Are you two ready to go yet?" Nooj called from the foot of the stairs.
"Hey I would have been ready hours ago if it weren't for your wife!" Paine yelled.
Nooj smirked, how well he knew that particular annoyance. Leblanc came striding around the corner and stood at the top of the stairs.
"Yes, yes we're ready. Logos and Ormi are picking up the luggage. Is the airship here yet?" she asked impetuously.
"Yeah there waiting for us in the Thunder Plains." Nooj replied.
"Well let's go." Paine said eagerly trying to mask her fear. She wasn't sure she was ready to see everyone again.
"WAIT!" Leblanc demanded.
"WHAT?" Nooj and Paine yelled covering their ears.
Leblanc looked stunned, "No need to yell love." She said airily.
Nooj and Paine looked at each other in shock. "Fine what did you need?" Nooj asked trying to keep his sarcasm in check.
"Well we need a disguise for Paine. If those three see her it will ruin the surprise." Leblanc said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Right." Paine said dumbfounded at the pure ridiculousness of Leblanc.
"Nooj can distract them while I sneak Paine on board and then she has to remain where I put her until we land in Besaid." She said as she dragged the unwilling participants out of the mansion, followed by two very confused looking henchmen.
Yuna
Yuna walked out of the temple and gazed around. She couldn't believe what a wonderful life she had on this simple little island.
She had a wonderful husband, tons of friends and family and three of the most adorable nieces and nephews. Yep her life was almost perfect, if only she had a baby of her own.
Yuna shook the sad thought away; there was no time for sadness now. She had to remain strong and happy especially today.
Today was the twins' birthday and she wanted it to be the best they'd ever had. She walked through the village towards the beach. She was so excited about getting everyone together.
It would be the first time since the twins' naming ceremony. Even Gippal and Baralai had promised to come. She walked on to the beach and caught sight of Chappu in the water and Paine was lying in the sand just watching the clouds.
Chappu looked exactly like his father, the only thing that really differentiated between the two was the fact that Chappu hated Blitzball. He hated it with a passion and no one was sure why. Yuna didn't even think he knew.
Paine on the other hand looked nothing like her family. She was an exact mirror image of what Yuna thought Paine would have looked like at her age.
Paine however took after her parents in attitude, personality, and interests. She loved Bliztball and had a natural talent for black magic.
She had Lulu's sarcasm and Wakka's playful nature, Lulu's confidence and Wakka's ability to make friends. She had gotten the best of both worlds, and Yuna couldn't have been happier for her best friends.
Suddenly she heard the familiar sound of the airship coming in. It had already come by once to drop off Gippal and Baralai but had to go back out because Leblanc had not been ready when they had first stopped there.
"Paine, Chappu! We have more guests and then the party's going to start. Come on." Yuna yelled.
Paine and Chappu stopped what they were doing and followed her towards the village.

(Celsie) Okay now I'm just going to tell you why Paine Padryho looks exactly like Paine. Part of Paine's souls had gone into P.P when she was first born because the spirits weren't sure Paine would be able to make it out of the Farplane Hole. So they created a duplicate for a reason that may be explained in a sequel. I hope this isn't considered a cliffy because I know how much you all hate them. (wink wink) but anyway. Let me know what ya'll think about the story and if you have any questions just put them in the review and I'll answer them on the next chapter!
