"Hey, Luna!" Derick called from the spot that Luna had met Rin the night before. He walked up and kissed her.

"Did you sleep well?"

"Yes."

"Isn't this view great?"

"You should see it when the sun's setting behind it." Luna said.

"I bet. Have you eaten yet?"

"Nope. I am pretty hungry."

"Me, too. Let's go get some breakfast." Derick said.

"Ok." Luna said, her stomach growling.

After breakfast, they were off. Luna told of her meeting with Rin.

"He spoke in English?"

"Yes. But I had said hello in Al Bhed, just in case. He was a very nice man."

"Was Al Bhed hard to learn?"

"No, not really. Not when you start from a young age. I was begining to talk well when I was first being taught."

"Oh, wow. Betty helped you, right?"

"Most of the time that I can remember. She had learned because she a live-in nanny. She never knew who she would work for." By this time, they had come to a cargo check point. They were stopped by a guard that said,

"I'm sorry, but you can't go any further at this time. I'm sorry for any inconvenince."

"But she's a summoner. She needs to get through." Derick said.

"I'm sorry. As soon as Operation Mi'ihen is done, you can pass. I'm just doing as I'm told."

"Can you tell us about Operation Mi'ihen?" Luna asked the guard.

"Well, as you know, Sin always comes back for it's spawn. We have captured some of it's spawn and we hope to lure Sin to the shore so we can attack."

"What are you going to attack it with I doubt our weapons are any match for Sin." Derick said.

"We're using Al Bhed machina."

"Machina? But machina are against the teachings." Luna said.

"It's our only hope. All we can do is try it. The teachings do not say that we cannot try using machina." the gaurd said.

"How long should Operation Mi'ihen last?" Luna asked.

"It should be starting soon. We'll let you know when it starts, ok?"

"Ok." Luna said. She seen a path a little ways behind them and she wanted to explore it. Derick wasn't far behind. Luna thought the little trail was cute, with all it's vegatation. Derick was walking next to her when they reached a clearing. It had some ruins and it looked very beautiful.

Following the stone path, they came to a dead end. This disapointed Luna. She was hoping it would lead somewhere but instead it lead to two middle aged men sitting and talking about nothing.

"Well, that's pooy." Luna said, turning to Derick. "That wasn't interesting at all."

"Well, does it help when I say that you'll always be interesting to me?" Derick asked. By this time, they had made it back to the clearing. Luna turned to Derick and said,

"It'll do," as she kissed him. Suddenly, there was a huge breeze and Luna knew deep down that it was Sin.
