That night, I walked out of the hut to find Tidus, Wakka look-alikes, and the Summoner over by a few older people.

I walked up to Tidus and he smiled.

"So…um…what's going on?" he asked.

"I have no clue."

"I meant with you."

"So did I."

"Oh…" he looked around at the girl and back at me.

"Come on," he grabbed my arm and took me to her.

The oldest woman looked really irritated with Tidus, but the girl walked up to us.

"Hello, I'm Yuna, what's your name?"

I was starting to hate this question. Was everyone asking me because I don't know?

I looked to Tidus for help.

He said, "She isn't sure what her name is, or where she came from. She lost her memories."

Yes. Yes, thank you.

"Oh! That is terrible!" Yuna said, "Well, if you're going to travel with us, we have to call you something."

I looked blankly at her. Travel with them?

"What do you think, Tidus? Or better yet, what do you want to be called?" She asked, and bowed slightly.

"I really don't know and I don't want to name myself." I didn't think that was my job.

Tidus was looking up at the night sky.

"How about Star?" he said softly. "Her hair is so light, and her eyes are bright and shining like the stars."

I think I might have fallen in love with him then.

Okay, I lie, but it was really nice.

"Alright," I said.

"Star." Yuna repeated.

Tidus nodded.

"Come on Star, let's go, eh?" Wakka called. I ran out of the Crusader's lodge, pulling on a boot as I went.

My staff was tucked securely into the strap on my back, my little pouch, which I had found many neat things in—high-potions, remedies, and ether—and my hair was in a pony tail.

I wrapped my arm in his and we got onto the boat. I had only been to this part of Besaid once, and that was when I washed up on shore. It was terrible for me to have to leave the pretty beach behind.

As far as I was concerned, this was my home as much as Tidus and Wakka were my saviours; my brothers.

There were a lot of people sad that Yuna was going. But I didn't really understand. She would be back soon enough, wouldn't she?

We got off to a great start. The sky was clear and sunny and the water was smooth and calming. I went and sat down on one end of the boat. There were things going on around me, but none of that mattered. I didn't want to be making new memories anyway, not if they were going to replace my old ones.

I had already learned so much though. Wakka and Lulu told me about Sin, who is pretty much here until we can repent for using machina—or machines. It was against the teachings of Yevon, to use machina, and Sin would not stop killing until it was gone. But was Sin ever going to die?

High Summoner Braska defeated it ten years ago, but it was back again. I didn't understand.

I learned about Yuna too. She was going on a pilgrimage to become a High Summoner and defeat Sin. It all sounded oddly familiar. Everything about Yuna sounded familiar.

I decided to just lie down and not think anymore. But even as I did, thoughts kept coming.

Why didn't I know my name and where in Spira did I come from?

"Hey, you alright?" Wakka's voice called.

I opened my eyes. He must have been fifteen feet above me, looking down from a balcony.

I gave him the thumbs up. He grinned and disappeared.

I thought about closing my eyes again, but instead I got carefully to my feet, and walked around the deck for a few minutes.

I found Tidus and Yuna talking by the front side of the ship.

"Why, hello Star." Yuna greeted.

I just smiled, and looked awkwardly at Tidus.

He was smirking; he was obviously very taken with this girl, she was just too stupid to realize.

Maybe, I thought, with increasing chagrin, she does realize, and is just ignoring him.

"I've never been on a boat like this before," I said, hoping to create small talk.

I didn't like uncomfortable silences.

"How would you know that?" Tidus asked, and I realized he was right.

I looked down at my feet.

"I guess I could have been, huh?"

Yuna just grinned, "Perhaps you're right." She told me. "Perhaps you have never been on a boat such as this. Maybe it's something you remember."

"Remember not being on one?" Tidus asked.

I just shrugged; what they both said made sense.

"Where are we headed, again?" I decided to ask.

Normally, it would not matter.

"To Kilika," Yuna said, turning to look out over the water.

"Kilika," I repeated.

Just then I was knocked violently over to my side. The ship was filling with water and I got washed straight to the other side.

I clung to the railing and I heard the sailors screaming. Sin, they were saying.

I heaved myself up as the ship flipped over onto it's other side. I went tumbling forward, and fell into the sea. I realized with horror as Sin surface right underneath me that this was not where I wanted to be.

I jumped recklessly off of Sin and landed painfully back on deck.

Wakka and Lulu were by Tidus and Yuna.

Blue, winged creatures shot out of the water and began attacking me as I scurried over to my group.

Tidus unsheathed a watery, blue blade and killed as many as he could, while Lulu attacked them with various spells. Wakka started attacking Sin's fin, probably in hopes of driving it away.

As Tidus and Lulu killed creature after creature, more appeared out of the water to take their place.

I took the staff from its holster on my back in case I needed to defend myself.

The glass bulb burned scarlet and a lush red. And, as I pointed it at Sin's fin, lighting and fire shot out from the end of it. It surprised me, but at the same time filled me with a fire that coursed through my veins, telling me to fight.

I think Yuna was the only one to notice at first and whatever spell I thought of shot from my staff and landed heavily on Sin and his spawn. I was hit only twice, but a lightning spell casts from Sin's spawn, but I was in such a violent mode, I barely felt it.

Soon enough, we had driven them off.

I sat heavily in the pool of water that was still full on deck. I was soaked, and tired.

Yuna appeared next to me, whispering in my ear. "Did you know you could do that?" She asked me.

I shook my head slowly as Tidus, Lulu and Wakka made their way over.

"I didn't know you knew spells." Lulu said in her honey voice.

"Me either," I replied meekly.

Wakka and Tidus looked deeply impressed.

I laid down on my back and closed my eyes.

No more light.
