HAAAA! Success, I am on someone's fave list, go me! I'm flattered, really, this is awesome. Anyway all mindless babbling aside, (babbling, that's not really a word is it, no... humph, well tough, live with it.) I am here to clear up the Lulu children, time frame year thing. Okay, for reference, we will say the year Tidus met Yuna was year 1, Sin was defeated around the beginning of year 2. FFX 2 began year 4. I haven't finished FFX 2 yet so if it tells how many children Lulu had, I never got there so I just pulled 4 children out of the blue. (You know, Fraternal Quintuplets... or is it Maternal Quintuplets? I've been debating this for a while so if anyone knows, plz tell me) Tidus returns midway through year 5 and now this story is taking place midway through year 10. Okay, I hope that clears it up. Anyway as for the problems with my story phrasing I shall try to improve, (about time someone told me what I was doing wrong, I knew I wasn't perfect.) so thanx keep R and R ing.
As it turned out, not only was Garrous Island remote, it happened to have it's own private resort, and it was run by none other than the freak we just can't seem to run away from, no matter how hard we try... That's right, O'aka! It took some time and some very aggressive negotiations but O'aka reluctantly agreed to let them use it for free, but only because they saved the world twice from certain and total destruction. (Oh, was that they did, I thought the high summoner and her gaurdians did something important)
They day before they left everybody was completely busy, running here and there. The total group consisted of Yuna, Tidus, Rikku, Lulu, Wakka, Kimahri, and Paine. Wakka's kids stayed with a few of the neighbors.
The left on the Celsius via Besaid Local Airport. While in the air they received a virtual tour of the complex, it was a beautiful island resort complete with everything necessary to an island paradise, including beach front condos, a private tiki bar, heated pools, a recreation hall and of course... a floating cocktail stand.
It had only been about a 6-hour trip, and they ride was enjoyable, but the beauty that awaited them made it seem much longer. When they reached their destination, and stepped out of the airship, they saw a paradise beyond anything they had hoped for, the word beautiful wouldn't do it justice. It was a no work pleasure ride, personal servants carried all of their luggage and a guide showed them to their rooms.
"No way," exclaimed Wakka, "a private blitz sphere, unbelievable" "It's so beautiful, it almost makes me want to pay O'aka for it" said Lulu. No fuckin way I'd ever pay him, no matter how great it is, thought Tidus. "Kimahri like beach, like fish, Kimahri kill fish and cook fish. Make meal for us tonight Kimahri will." said Kimahri (duh)
"I didn't think Ronsos cooked much," said Yuna, surprised. "Elder Kimahri is best cook on mountain, make meal for all big feasts." "He doesn't lie, Yuna," said Wakka, "he almost out cooked me last time he was at Besaid, and I'm a professional chef."
Tidus decided to challenge Kimahri's skills. "Hey fuzz ball, 20 gil says I can get more fish in 20 minutes than you can." "Kimahri thinks you stupid, and will be happy to win gil from you."
"My watch is set for 20 mins. I'll start it on the count of 3," declared Rikku, "The person with the most pounds in fish wins a whopping 20 gil. Ready, set, 3!"
They dove into the water, Kimahri going for larger catch, while Tidus spent more time getting larger numbers of smaller fish. At the end of the 20 minutes, they hauled in huge loads of fish, only to realize that there was no scale to weigh the fish on, and they had completely wasted a full 20 minutes of there lives on a pointless wager. (Geniuses aren't they?)
The next few days were spent getting some well-deserved rest and relaxation. They wasted away to the life of luxury, doing whatever they pleased, whenever they pleased. It was their 4th day on the island when Wakka heard the news. He had just gotten back from hiking along the island when he saw an airship land in the center of the complex. A man in a dark suit stepped out and beckoned Wakka toward him.
"I'm sorry to bother you on your vacation," he said, "but Lady Yuna must be contacted immediately." "What's up?" asked Wakka. "A few hours ago the late Maester Seymour broke through the barrier of the Farplane in Guadosalem, he was followed by a seemingly infinate number of feinds. They have already taken control of Guadosalem, and the Thunder Plains. They are on the verge of taking control of the Moonflow but most of the fiends are attacking Bevelle."
R & R plz!
