Chapter 8: The Pride of Spira
Two years have passed since Seymour returned to Spira. And again, people from all over Spira come to Besaid to celebrate Lenne's
birthday. But this time, she's 21. Again, she was staying in her favorite hang-out at the beach near the ruins. She was all alone and she
was sitting on a huge rock, listening to the calm waves of the sea. Suddenly, she heard footsteps coming closer and closer towards her,
but she didn't move an inch. Then, as the footsteps finally stopped, Vidina wrapped his arms around Lenne and gave her a peck on her
cheek. "What took you so long?" Lenne asked Vidina as she turned to him. "Well, my dad told me to help give out drinks to your guests."
Vidina replied as he scratched his head. "You do know that you're not a waiter, right?" Lenne asked as she jumped off the rock she was
sitting on. "Yeah, but" Vidina replied. Lenne stepped closer to Vidina. "Anyway, let's go to the party. I think I hear Quill's airship
approaching." she said as she grabbed Vidina's hand and walked towards the town.
As they were nearing the town, Vidina stopped, causing Lenne to wonder. "What's wrong" Lenne asked. "Well, there's something in my
pocket that's been bugging me since this morning." He replied as he reached in his pocket. As he hand came out with a heart-shaped box,
Lenne started to feel a little embarrassed, thinking that Vidina might be proposing to her. "Well, here goes" he said as he kneeled down in
front of Lenne. "Lenne, will you marry me?" he asked. Lenne was speechless. As she opened her mouth, no words would come out.
Vidina looked down as Lenne didn't say a word. Lenne saw that Vidina must have thought she said no. She helped him stand up and he
brushed his hair of his face. "Yes Vidina. Of course I'll marry you!" she said as she looked at Vidina. Vidina's face was filled with glee.
He kissed Lenne and Lenne jumped as he catches her in his arms. Suddenly, a familiar voice called out. "Way to go Vidina!". Then, claps
and cheers were coming out and it was becoming louder and louder. As Lenne stood up, she and Vidina blushed out of embarrasment.
Then, they walked towards the town to see that every visitor was an audience to their engagement. Actually, the whole Spira saw their
engagement with the help of the reporters and their cameras. Lenne and Vidina were bright red as Quill and Reine, who were holding
hands, entered. "Oh my gosh Lenne! You're engaged!" Reine squeeled as the two tried to hide their faces. "I know" Lenne replied, shyly.
"Good jod Vidina" Quill told Vidina as he patted him on his shoulder. "Thanks" Vidina replied. "Would you look at you two? You guys
are flushed!" Reine said with excitement. "You can say that again" Pace said as she entered with Garren. "You guys are flushed!" Reine
said. Everyone turned to her as she literally did what Pace told her. Reine started to blush out of embarrasment. "Oops, awkward
moment" then she turned to Quill as she hid her face in his chest. "Hey, that was funny" Quill said as he brushed Reine's hair off her face.
"It was?" Reine asked, shyly. Quill nods, as they hugged tightly. "Eeww. Would you quit that? You guys are too cheesy." Garren said as
he saw Reine with Quill. "Garren" Pace said, getting Garren's attention. "What?" he asked. "As if you're not that mushy yourself" she said,
as the whole group chuckled. "No I'm not!" he exclaimed. "Well he is when we're alone." Pace informed the group as she gave him a
peck on his cheek. "Well, I guess I am a little mushy" he said, causing everyone to laugh. "Everyone!" Tidus called out on the microphone
as he entered the stage with Yuna. "Oh no" Lenne said as she hid her face. "Today! We celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday!" he said
as the crowd clapped and cheered. "But that's not all" Yuna said as she took the microphone from Tidus. "We also celebrate our
daughter and Vidina's engagement! Please give them a round of applause!" she continued, making everyone turn to Vidina and Lenne
who were starting to turn red again. "You may continue with your business now" Tidus said as the music started.
It was a great event for Spira. News of their engagement spread fast all throughout Spira causing all the temple monks to start decorating
their temples with wedding decorations in case the two decided to marry in their temple. True, Lenne and Vidina's engagement was a
blessing to Spira but it was also bringing chaos among the temples. Bevelle wanted the two to marry at their temple in honor of Yuna and
Lord Braska since they were born their. But this was not Pace's decision, it was the people's decision. Besaid would not allow this since
Lenne and Vidina were born their and what's more, Yuna became a summoner there. So they should marry at the Besaid temple. Again,
this was the people's decision, not Wakka's nor Tidus' decision. Though the other temples had no good reason why the two should marry
at their temple, they still insisted. This conflict caused Lenne and Vidina to have huge problems, but Quill had problems of his own too.
