Changing of the heart.
Rikku''s point of view.

I guess you can say I''ve been abandoned. Yuna and Tidus were now together and were planning their life together. Paine and I were left behind. Yuna had forgotten about us.

The day Tidus came back was in a way the saddest moment of my life; it was the moment was I realized my own cousin was just using me. That fateful day she ran into Tidus's Arms and out of our lives forever.

Paine and I watched from a distance and could do nothing to pull her back to us.

""Do you think she''s going to be happy Paine?""

That day I watched her walk away from me, I felt my heart grow heavy with stress and a little of boredom. But I wasn''t about to let that stop me, No way.

After that I decided on my own that it was time for me to do something with my life, which meant dragging Paine alone for the ride.

"" Come on Paine you have to come with me""

""Rikku this is not up for debate, I''m not going with you and that''s that.''

""Paine……PLLEEASSSEEEE?""

I gave Paine the cutest and saddest puppy dog look i could think of.

""Rikku no means no""

"" Paine pleaseeeeee……I need my warrior to come with me""

""Rikku don''t make that face……. it might get stuck like that""

Paine began to walk way and out of the room. But I wasn''t about to let her get away with it. So I followed her out of the room.

"" Please Paine you have to come with me……. I need you with me……why can''t you see that?""

""Rikku Please enough of the whining……I''ll go with you on one condition""

""And what would that be?""

""Don''t embarrass me""

""Ok sounds good to me.""

I smiled at her and for the first time in a long time she smiled back at me.

Our trip I guess you can call it began like any other. Confusion. At the time we were both running around trying to get everything we needed. We decided we couldn''t let the others on the ship know of our little trip. I knew but brother would try to talk me out of it. And I wasn''t about to let him to that.

For once in my life I got out of bed earlier then 9 am. Which is a big surprise for me. And any one else. I had to wake up Paine with was to tell you the truth really fun.

I jumped on her and pulled her out of bed with out making a sound. Yet again another big surprise for me.

We got on to the docks and jumped on to another airship. We had no clue where we were going all we knew was it was going to be fun.
