Derick took Luna down to the cafe. They were sitting in a booth, and Luna still couldn't believe how big that the Aeon was. And she thought that Ifrit was big.
"Luna."
"Yes?" Luna asked, beign jerked back into the present.She looked up and saw the waitress.
"Are you ready to order?"
"Um, sure." They ordered and the waitress left.
"Are you ok? Did something hurt you?" Derick asked, looking like he could kill whatever had hit her with his bare hands.
"I'm fine, Derick. Nothing hurt me." Luna reassured him.
"Well, you tell me if you ever get hurt. I wouldn't be doing my job if you got hurt."
"Ok." Luna said, looking into his eyes.
"I have a question."
"Ok, what is it?"
"Why do you have one green eye and one blue one?" This struck Luna as odd.
"What do you mean?"
"I've been thinking a lot about it since the day I noticed it. Don't the Al Bhed have green eyes?"
"Yes."
"But don't ONLY the Al Bhed have green eyes?"
"Originally, yes."
"Then why do you have a green eye?"
"Because my mother was Al Bhed."
"Really? I've known you for years and there are still things I don't knwo about you."
"That's because you never asked, silly." Luna said.
"Well, now I have the chance to. Was your mom nice?"
"I don't know. She died of a fever two days after I was born."
"Was that when Betty came and took care of you?"
"No. Betty didn't come until right before my father left for his pilgrimage."
"Oh. Luna, can I tell you something?"
"Sure," Luna said, her heart skipping a beat.
"When you came out of the Cloister of Trials, you seemed to become a different perosn. I could never see that person as a friend."
"What are you saying?" Luna asked, expecting the worst. Right before Derick could say anything, the waitress was back with their food. When she left, Luna looked at Derick and said,
"I'll be right back." When she reached the restroom, she almost broke down. What's Derick going to tell me, Luna thought to her reflection. Is he going to tell me that he no longer wants to be my gaurdian? And if that's it, how am I suppose to find a new one? Everyone that I thought would have been my gaurdians are dead and I have no clue where Yuna is.
Luna washed her hands and went back out to the booth. She sat and smiled at Derick. He smiled back. His smile could always lift her mood, no matter how heavy. They ate in silence. After they were done, Luna began to feel sleepy.
They paid the bill and left to catch the ship to Besaid. They boarded and went below deck to find their cabin. It had been a long day full of excitment. Luna looked at Derick and asked in a sleepy voice,
"What was it you were going to tell me at the cafe?"
"I'll tell you later. Right now you just need to get some sleep. You have a lot ahead of you."
"Ok. Derick?" Luna asked as she cover herslef up.
"Yes?"
"I just wanted you to know that you're a really good gaurdian. I hope you don't plan on quitting on me."
"I'd never do that. You just get some sleep. I'm be back to check on you every once in a while, ok?"
"Ok." Luna said as Derick shut the door behind him. Luna fell asleep thinking about all that had happened that day.
