Rikku had never really looked at her cousin with downright and absolute confusion, but that day was unusual. But, she wasn't alone, since Paine was looking at their fellow Gullwing with the same expression. She wasn't sure, but she was pretty sure that Barkeep was too.

Yuna was eating a large bowl of something, while they were sitting at the bar in the cabin. Tidus was still upstairs – said something about wanting to think. Gippal had disappeared somewhere down to the engine room and everyone else who'd taken a ride (including Cid and Nhadala) were on the main deck. So, that only left them.

Still, the concoction that the ex-summoner was eating was enough to make anyone stop what they were doing. Rikku wasn't positive what was in it, but she was sure that there was at least ice cream, fruit and it was covered in whipped cream. Of course, that wasn't a bad combination, but she continued to pull odd things out of it, mainly vegetables and meats.

She ate it all with a spoon and after taking a bite, she licked the top of her finger and looked at her two friends. "Wha?" she asked, finger in her mouth.

Rikku shook her head. "Nothing," she replied.

Yuna just went back to what she was eating. For a moment she didn't say anything, but then she pointed to the bowl with a smile. "You know, I could get used to this whole pregnancy thing," she said.

"I think you already have," Paine commented before taking a sip from her drink.

"I was wondering though," Rikku said. "Since we're making this whole 'guest appearance', shouldn't we try to dress up a little?"

Paine gave her a look. "Pardon?"

The blonde giggled and "Not like that," she replied. "I meant we should dress nicely, you know, not in everyday clothes?"

"She's got a point," Yuna stated. "We should try to find something else to put on that's not fancy, but still looks better than usual."

"So...casual?" Paine asked, trying to understand.

The two looked at each other. "Yeah," they replied.

"Okay, but we only have everyday clothes, at least, I do."

Rikku bit her lip. "I have an idea!"

"That's a scary thought," Paine mumbled dryly.

"Hey!" She pouted, but then threw it off. "This might not work, but it's a start and we might not have to put much effort into this whole dressing up thing."

Her two friends looked at each other. "Okay," Yuna said. "What do you have in mind?"

The Celsius lowered into the port to the side of the Luca stadium and the ramp lowered slowly. Yuna emerged, her hand clasping her husband's and Paine and Rikku followed. Like usual, the city was bustling with energy and people. Ships, air and sea alike, were loading and unloading. Everyone was getting ready for that day's game.

But, at the middle dock, where they had landed, were none other than a familiar couple, waiting for them.

Rikku instantly smiled as they came up to the Aurochs' captain and black mage. Wakka was smiling and full of energy. Lulu had her laid back expression on, yet a happy one. In her arms, she carried the baby Vidina. He was bigger than the last time she'd seen him, so much that he could hold his head up and sat on his mother's hip.

"How have you been since we've been gone?" Yuna asked, concerned a little, while she gave her older sister figure a hug.

"We're fine," she replied. "But what about you?" Lulu asked patiently.

Yuna nodded. "Same here."

Wakka looked over to Tidus, who was still a little under the weather. He patted him on the back of his shoulder. He lurched forward, but then steadied himself. "Hey brudda, how you doing?"

Tidus laughed nervously as Lulu gave a hug to Rikku. Paine was talking with them as well. "Well, I'm okay," he replied.

He raised an eyebrow. "You sure? You look like you saw a ghost."

The blond man rubbed the back of his head. "Now that you mention it..."

As soon as he was about to finish, Yuna suddenly got a disturbed look on her face and frowned, almost in shock. She turned a shade of green. "Not again," she whined with frustration. With a hand clasped over her mouth, and another on her stomach, she practically ran in the direction of the stadium.

They all watched her go. Lulu and Wakka looked a bit concerned. Rikku shook her head with a laugh, and Paine chuckled. Tidus sighed. "That would be one problem," he said, answering Wakka's question.

Lulu looked at Rikku. "Is she sick?" she asked, adjusting Vidina on her hip.

The blonde took the baby and kissed his head. "Let's just say, that Yuna is gonna be... not herself, for a few months," she said, looking a Paine with a knowing smile.

The two looked at each other with confusion. Then Lulu caught on. "Oh..." she said, smiling. Then she looked at Tidus. "You got her pregnant already?"

He nodded. "Yeah, she told me this morning."

Wakka laughed out and patted him on the back again. "Ya rascal. No wonder you look like that," he said. "But congratulations to you. Welcome to fatherhood, brudda."

"You think he looks bad now, you should've seen him this morning," Paine said dryly, arms crossed.

"So, you came to play some ball to shake it off?" Wakka asked.

"That was the plan," Rikku said. "You two can keep yourselves occupied for a few hours while we're gone, right?"

"No problem," Wakka said, leading Tidus away, stearing him by the shoulders. "Come on buddy, we gotta get you warmed up."

The two walked away and Lulu turned to the other two there. "We should go find Yuna, she might need a potion or two," she said.

Rikku crossed her eyes with a sigh. "Paine..." she moaned. "Come on; come out. I didn't go to all that trouble of picking out an outfit for today, for you to sit in that stall."

"No."

Yuna was with them. Lulu had disappeared after the wedding dresses were picked out. Both cousins were wearing different things, dressed up for the game, like they'd planned.

The ex-summoner looked exactly like that. Her clothes were a mix of old and new. The shirt she wore criss-crossed over her front like her old summoner's outfit, but it had a back and underneath was a pink layer and around it were the bands of gold from her gunner outfit. She no longer wore shorts, but a skirt instead and she kept her boots and arm bands. But, she also had on her summoner's sleeves.

Rikku had on her thief's outfit, but it had a twist to it. Instead of her skirt, she wore a short dress, in the same color, that she cut the chest out of and left her bikini top showing. She kept everything else, except traded her boots for knee-high ones. Her scarf was gone, and her hair was down, still in braids.

The two were in the boutique where they'd locked Paine inside a changing stall with the outfit they'd chosen for her. They asked, begged and finally blackmailed her to put it on. But, she wouldn't come out.

"Paine, please?" Yuna asked. "You'll look really nice in it."

"I hate it."

Rikku rolled her eyes. "It's just a skirt, now get out here!" she said, putting her hands on her hips. "Or are you afraid?" she asked, with a smirk.

For a moment there was silence. Then, the latch opened with a click of the lock and Paine came out. Her friends smiled. "That wasn't so hard," Yuna said.

The warrior crossed her arms. "Minus 50 points for both of you."

She simply glared at her friends. Unlike her friends, Paine had an outfit completely different, but it still had the essence of her in it. Her black boots came up to the middle of her thighs, parted at the sides with buckles. Above them was were the skirt she wore ended. Her long gloves came to her upper arms. The top she wore was a corset like thing, that fastened with buckles and metal; it was strapless, to show her skin. And everything was black leather. The only things that were the same were a few of her belts and her necklaces.

"I hate you."

Rikku laughed. "Oh, come on Paine, it's not that bad," she said. "You look pretty. And you don't hate us, we're your friends. This is for your own good. You have to get used to wearing a skirt."

She closed her eyes and rubbed her temple. "Let's just get out of here already."

Yuna sighed. "Alright, the game's about to start. And I do have to show up in the top box. Before then."

"Top box?" Rikku asked, eyes brightening. She jumped up and down eagerly. "Oh, that's gonna be so neat!" Then she snapped back to reality, shaking her head. "But anyway, we have a guest appearance to meet, so let's get going." She announced, heading towards the entrance.

Her friends looked at each other. "Shall we?" Paine asked.
