Yuna's POV

I stared in disbelief at the apparent drama queen in front of us.

Dona Rolvali.

I shuddered as she eyed us all, her chocolate eyes in obvious distaste. She walked to me and plucked at my shirt of the Zanarkand Abes and chuckled, crossing her arms over her rather large chest.

"Yuna, Yuna, Yuna...Never thought I'd see you here." Dona stepped back and eyed the room, Paine shuffling her feet impatiently behind me, a grunt rising from her throat.

"Yeah..Hello Dona," I mumbled, brushing a strand of hair from my face, my eyes fixating on her choice of clothing.

A red dress, low cut, black panty-hose and high heels.

I narrowed my eyes and stiffled a chuckle..

High-heels. At camp?

I snorted despite myself, quickly averting my gaze to the side to avoid Dona's.

"Welcome to Camp Kukala!" Rikku jumped foward and ruffled up Dona's disgustingly perfect hair and smiled happily. "I'm Rikku!"

Dona quickly stepped away from her and widened her eyes, her now messy hair falling in front of her eyes. She crinkled her nose and patted her hair back down, looking around the room again.
"I'm...Dona. Dona Rolvali."

I heard Lulu stand up from her bed and walk beside me, her violet eyes grazing over Dona.

"Nice to meet you, Dona! This is Paine!" Rikku motioned to Paine, who just waved lightly before flopping back on her bunk, opening her magazine again.

She and Lulu were always looking at that magazine. It was called 'The Undazzled'. On the front were a group of girls, all dressed in black, very morbid. Paine was always gushing over a guy named Ish in the magazine, as was Lulu. I had seen a picture of him in the magazine, soon discovering that I, too, had something to gush about.
"And this is Lulu!" Rikku pounced on Lulu from behind and slung her arms over her shoulders, smiling gleefully at Dona as I laughed lightly, Rikku's giddiness brightening up the most awkward moment.

"Hmmmm..." Dona eyed Lulu and flashed a coy grin, resting a hand on her hip as she tilted sideways. "I believe we have met."
Lulu dashed her eyes downward as she peirced her lips, crossing her arms over her chest. "We have.."
I blinked at both of them before sitting beside Paine, flashing a glance to her magazine.

"Well, I suppose I'll have to sleep on...that.." Dona gestured to a lumpy matress bed on the side of the room, a single bed. She stepped foward slowly, her heels clicking as she dropped her heavy luggage beside the bed, a loud thump being heard.

I have always wondered why women bother with such stupid things such as makeup and so much clothing that it could last them a year. But being who I was, I was expected to act the same. Reluctantly.

"Its not so bad! Its kinda comfy if you shove a few pillows under the mattress.." Rikku scratched the side of her cheek and chuckled nervously as I shook my head, Dona's distaste of the camp beginning to irritate me.

"Just sleep on the flipping bed... Yevon..." Paine muttered under her breathe as I giggled, sinking down lower into the bed next to her.

Lulu shuffled on her feet some before stepping into the bathroom,"I'll... be out soon.." She left then, her smooth voice ringing in our ears before the door slammed.

Dona grinned and pointed to me and then to her bed, lifting an eyebrow. "Arrange my bed for me?"
If I were at home I would of helped her. But since I was not in the company of my Mother, I simply shook my head and looked back down at Paine's magazine, Ish posing in front of a car as he smirked playfully, his eyes narrowed. Paine grinned and nodded as she tapped the picture of the celeberity, laughing lightly.

"I'll marry that babe some day. I swear..." She grinned and flipped the page as I laughed lightly.

"Not if I don't get to him first!" I stuck my tongue out as Paine shook her head, shoving me over in the bed.

Dona blinked at both of us and raised her eyebrows, giving up on me fixing her bed for her. Rikku glanced at the bathroom door and frowned lightly before sliding down next to me in the bed, leaning her head on my shoulder lightly.

"Yunie... maybe you should go and check on Lulu..." She pinched my side lightly and I squirmed.
"She said she'd be out in a minute...maybe we should give her some space?" I tilted my head at her and smiled reasuringly, poking her cheek lightly. Rikku nodded and sighed some, looking over at Dona.

"You need help with your bed? I can help!" Rikku hopped up and tackled Dona's bed, laughing some. Sometimes I just don't see where that girl gets her energy. One minute she's all sad and upset, worried and then the next minute she's ready to roll!

Dona snorted slightly and threw her sheets at Rikku's face, sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Have at it."
Dona... Me and her used to go to private school together. Her father and my father were good friends, and we often hung out together. She was like my mentor... She showed me what to wear, and what not to wear. How to be perfect and preppy and how to fix my hair. Her mother and my mother thought we were the cutest things when we were 7 years old, sitting at our baby tables in my mother's evening gowns, sipping make-believe tea from a porclein cup.

Dona was always telling me what to do, how to smile. And I followed all her instructions, hoping to be just like her some day.

But now that I look at it... I'm glad that she moved away a few years ago. I would die if I were just like her...

Just.. like Dona.

I shuddered. Dona had moved away when we were 12, moving to Luca with her father and mother. It was hard for me to say goodbye to my friend, my mentor, my role model. But as the weeks grew into months, months into years I got over it. Though I didn't ever have any real friends..
It was always me and my mother and my sisters. Since I was youngest, I was often overlooked by them all. Except for my grandmother..
I loved my grandmother. She had smelt of honey and chocolate and I often visited her. I remember clinging to her legs, her ruffled skirts soft against my face, as my mother took hold of my hand, trying to drag me back to our home. Grandmother was really the only one who ever payed any attention to me at all.. She was always caressing my small curls and my freckled cheeks as a child, smiling lovingly as she told me stories of her past. Stories of what she had done when she was my age.. And even stories of what she could do, wanted to do.

Then she died... a year or so ago.

I remember locking myself into my room and refusing any meals that were sent to me, gazing out my window for hours and hours, the salty tears streaming down my face and chin.

But I soon realized that I'd see her again.. and that was when I finally decided to get on with my life. But I knew, in the back of my mind, that she was there with me the whole time.. She still is.

Paine gave my shoulder a shake as she laughed some, flicking my forehead.
"Yuna? Yoohooo.. Earth to Yuna."

I blinked and shook my head, clearing the images of my past as I smiled lightly.

"Sorry... Just drifted away for a second I guess."
I looked over to see the progress of Rikku, Dona, and Dona's pink frilly bed sheets. And her large mass of pillows.

Rikku looked quite silly wrapped up in frilly pink sheets, only the top of her spiked blonde pony tail showing as well as her bright green eyes.
"Doonnaa... Why don't you just forget about that sheets?" Rikku fell backwards on her bum and whimpered, her legs flailing in the air as she squirmed free of the sheets.
"No! I must use these. These are the only ones that will do for my type of skin and I mus-"
She was cut off by Lulu swinging the door wide open, it hitting back against the wall quite roughly.

"Forget. About. The. Goddamn. Sheets. Dona." Lulu gritted her teeth as she narrowed her eyes some, her fists clenched at her side.

...This was when Paine jumped up and grabbed Lulu by her shoulders,"Lets play with your hair, shall we? I got this new gel stuff, and I wanna try it!" Paine shoved Lulu back into the bathroom and fumbled for the doorknob behind her, slamming the door.

I sat there a moment, slightly confused and stared at the bathroom door, blinking slowly.

"Ahem... Forget the sheets, Rikku." Dona waved her hand dismissingly and threw her dark red blanket over her mattress, grabbing her pillows and arranging them on her bed neatly.
Rikku hopped up and scurried to the bathroom door, knocking on the softly before opening it and sliding in, shutting the door behind her quietly.

I sat up and blinked at Dona who sat on her bed, crossing her legs and grabbing for her purse.
"Hmph... Nevermind them, Dear Yuna. Tell me..How have you been these years?" She reached into her purse and grabbed a mirror, re-aplying her bright red lipstick.

"I've been swell, thank you.." I glanced at the door quickly before forcing a smile at Dona, sitting indian style on Paine's bunk. "And yourself? How have you been?"

Dona darted her eyes up at me before smirking slightly, smacking her newly glossed lips as she snapped her mirror shut.
"Fantastic! Father just switched me to schools.. I'm moving back to Besaid, you know!" She flashed me a smile and rested her hands in her lap, squaring her shoulders.

My smile faded lightly before I brightened it up quickly again, swallowing thickly.

Dona...moving...back...at...Besaid...

"Shit..." I mumbled between my teeth, my smile still shining at her, making sure my comment was kept un-heard by her.

"Isn't it just fabulous?" Dona fluffed her hair casually and batted her eyes, fingering the jewel on her golden necklace that hung over her chest.

"Fabulous!" I bit the inside of my cheek to keep from whimpering, my eyebrows knitting together slightly before flopping back on the bed, staring at the bottom of Lulu's bunk.

Wonderful...Dona was moving back home.

And I was going to have to deal with her.

And... I was going to have to..

Deal...with her.

Dona laughed, it ringing high and squeeky, and threw one of her satin pillows at me.

I let the pillow hit my face.

Mother wasn't here.. But Dona was. Thats like me trading red nail polish for redder nail polish..

This was going to be a long 3 months.
