FFX-2 THE BATTLE FOR ZANARKAND

"Will you marry me, will you marry me, will you marry me?" Brother said as he followed Yuna around on his knees.

"No, no, NO!" Yuna said as she hid behind Rikku.

Then the 13 year old boy who had been watching this spectacle decided to drag Brother away.

"Guys, I got the sphere from Paine on," said Shinra.

Yuna, Rikku, Buddy, Brother, and the boy all crowded around Shinra to watch the sphere that Paine had sent.

-Hi everyone, I miss being in the Gullwings, Nooj, Baralai, Gippal, and I have our own squad now. And I asked for a Ship just like the Celsius. – Paine

(Gippal suddenly moves in the way)

Hey, are you taking care of my little brother Garin? –Gippal.

(Paine shoves Gippal out of the way)

"We gotta go, bye guys see you soon."-Paine-

"Oh brother." Garin said rolling his eyes.

Suddenly Buddy jumped into his seat and started flicking through the new sphere files.

"Guys new sphere popped up. It's in Besaid." Buddy said.

"Hey Yunie, we can see Wakka's baby while we're there!" Said Rikku in her usual bouncy voice.

Garin had gotten interested in Buddy's sphere detector.

"Or… We got some waves coming from Macalania." Said Buddy.

"Let's go to Macalania first, so we have more time with Wakka." Said Yuna.

"Mad'c ku du Macalania Gullwings!" Said Brother.

The Celsius suddenly turned and began flying to Macalania. Rikku walked over to Garin, who had decided to sit in a corner. Rikku got down on her knees to talk to Garin.

"Hey, Gari, why'd you join the Gullwings anyway?" Asked Rikku.

"Well, I was tired of everyone at home treating me like a little kid. Since you just beat Vegnagun two months ago, I thought if something big like that could happen and I could help Spira, and then I'd be treated like an adult…" Said Garin

"…and Gippal doesn't help."

Yuna walked over to him and said "the Eternal Calm has finally come, Garin. Nothing like that will happen again. If that is why you joined, you should leave. The missions are dangerous and it is not child's play."

Garin stood up and walked up to the elevator. "Yunie, we let Shinra stay, and he's even younger than Gari." Said Rikku

"and he's sweet."

Yuna sighed, smiled, and agreed to let Garin stay. Rikku ran up the stairs and went to the cabins to find Garin.

"Barkeep, have you seen Garin?"

"He jusht went upshtairs, Mish Rikku." The Hypello said.

"Thanks." Said Rikku as she went up to Garin's room.

Garin heard her approach and looked up from his bed.

Rikku sat down next to him when he said "you guys will never like me as much as you did Paine."

Rikku looked at him and said "you're right; Paine was very special to us, like a sister. But to us you're like a, er (knowing how touchy Garin was at being called 'little), brother that's not as old as us."

Suddenly the lights began flashing and Buddy's voice could be heard over the intercom

"Gullwings, up to the bridge, NOW!"

That's all for now. I'm working on other stories at the moment and my friend just moved away. More to come.
