CH.2 The past and future are both a mystery.
FP: Since I can't find anyone to argue with and I would rather not talk to the characters I don't have any comedy to start this chapter. By the way I'm bored so I'm adding in a relationship between Paine and Yuna.
My spelling completely sucks and I don't have a copy of the game right now so expect a lot of spelling errors!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yuna is in Paine's room nursing her friend's wounds
Yuna: That thing kicked your ass.
Paine: Don't remind me, that thing was to smart to be a normal fiend.
Yuna: You're just pissed because Kain beat it after it whipped you.
Paine: Shut up.
Yuna: Is that any way to talk to your lover?
Paine: Do you want someone you saying things like that?
Yuna: I don't know why you care; it would be a lot easier if everyone knew.
Paine: You're the high summoner, how would people respond if all of Spira found out?
Yuna: I really don't care, as far as I'm concerned I'm nothing more than a singer.
Paine: Let's give it a little more time before we tell anybody.
Yuna: Alright…
In the engine room Kain has a dumbfounded look on his face which quickly turns solemn.
Kain: Rikku I'm not even sure if I'm going to stay with the Gullwings, I can't start a relationship knowing I might have to leave at any moment.
Rikku: I don't care!
Kain: I don't want to hurt you; I promise if I can ever be sure that I'll be able to stay you'll be the first to know.
Rikku: You're just like every other man, full of excuses!
She runs out of the room almost in tears.
Kain: It's probably better if she hates me.
Paine and Yuna are at the bar drinking when Rikku burst in crying.
Yuna: What's wrong Rikku?
Paine: Turned you down huh.
Rikku tells them what happened word for word (yes I'm to lazy to type out the conversation again)
Paine: At least he didn't say that he didn't like you.
Yuna: It would hurt worse knowing that he does.
Rikku: I'm not sure what I should do.
Yuna: You know he has feelings for you, so just give it time.
Paine: I'm glad I don't have to worry about dating.
Rikku: You're not single?
Yuna: Now we have to tell her.
Rikku: Tell me what?
Paine: Well, Yuna and I are…
Yuna: We're dating, god why are you so shy about it.
Rikku: Wait so you two are…together.
Yuna: Yep.
Rikku: Oh poopie, now I'm the only single one!
Paine: If you tell anyone you will be in a whole new world of hurt!
Rikku: I won't…
Yuna: Paine, you should talk to Kain.
Paine: What!
Yuna: You understand what he's going through; you said almost the same thing to me before we started dating.
Paine: I don't like him.
Rikku: Please Paine!
Paine: I don't like you that much either.
Yuna: Paine, I'll make it worth your while later.
Paine: You I like, I guess, but I can't promise that I'll get through to him.
Rikku: Thanks.
Paine leaves.
Rikku: Thanks Yuna.
Yuna: We're family; I'd do anything to help you.
Rikku: I think you were just looking for an excuse to owe Paine.
Yuna: Maybe, and Kain might talk her into letting people know about our relationship.
Rikku: How do know he even knows about it?
Yuna: He's no fool, if anyone realized it, he did.
Paine walks into the engine room and sees Kain on his bed with his eyes closed.
Paine: He's asleep, I'll come back.
Kain: What do you want Paine?
Paine: You're awake?
Kain: Yes, my ribs just hurt like hell.
Paine: Rikku wanted me to talk to you.
Kain: So, Yuna made you.
Paine: What…
Kain: I'm not stupid, I know about you two.
Paine: Why the hell would you tell her something like that? It would have been easier just to say you didn't love her.
Kain: I wish I had, but I couldn't lye to her, trust me I tried.
Paine: Then you really do love her.
Kain: Which is why I can't be with her, it would hurt too much when I left.
Paine: That's what I thought when I met Yuna, I thought I would stay a month max and I've been here for nearly four years now.
Kain: I can't stay.
Paine: Because you're half Guedo, that's no excuse, we don't care about that!
Kain: Did Rikku tell you?
Paine: No, that dye job can't fool me, you're hairs as blue as the sky isn't it.
Kain: More silver actually, it's a rare trait.
Paine: Okay, that and only a Guedo can out drink me.
Kain: I could have humiliated you.
Paine: But you pretended to be drunk, that's why I didn't tell anyone your little secret.
Kain: I'll stay and I'll act as if I plan on staying, but if I ever do leave it's on your head.
Paine: When Rikku's happy Yuna's happy and when Yuna's happy I'm happy.
Kain: Go away so I can rest.
Paine: I'm sending Rikku down after telling her the good news.
Kain: I don't know if my ribs can take that.
Paine: Why was that fiend so determined to get a hold of you?
Kain: I'll tell you someday.
Paine shrugs then leaves.
Kain: I got about two minutes until Rikku gets down here and jumps on me, I better sit up so she doesn't jump right on my ribs…oh screw it I can barley move.
Paine arrives back at the bar where Rikku is still pouting.
Yuna: Did you talk to him?
Paine: Yep.
Rikku: What excuse did he give you?
Paine: None, I got him to change his mind.
Rikku: He changed his mind!
Paine: Go ask him yourself.
Rikku dashes out of the room.
Paine: He knew about us.
Yuna: I figured.
Paine: He isn't going to tell anybody.
Yuna: There's a soft heart under the wall he puts up.
Paine: You've fallen for him too; I've got to ask for his secret.
Yuna: I guess he's sweet, but you're irreplaceable.
Paine: You still owe me for talking to him.
Yuna: I'll pay you back tonight.
Paine: You got that right; I need a shower, care to join me?
Yuna: Maybe later.
Paine leaves
Yuna: I wonder how much things are going to change around here.
At the door to the engine room Rikku was hesitant about going in.
Rikku: Should I go in? What if he changed his mind again? Why am I so afraid?
The door slides open, before Rikku can make up her mind.
Kain: I was wondering why you hadn't got here yet.
Rikku: Worried about me?
Kain: No, I thought Paine got lost on her way back to the bar.
Rikku: giggle You should lay back down.
Kain: Come on in.
They both go back into the engine room and Kain lies down.
Rikku: Do you really want to be with me?
Kain: Yah, I just didn't want to hurt you.
Rikku: Good, scoot over.
Rikku pushes Kain over and lies down next to him.
Kain: Let's wait till my ribs heal.
Rikku: Pervert.
Kain: Get used to it.
Rikku: I wasn't complaining.
Kain: And you say I'm the pervert.
