Notes: Okay, as you can probably see, this chapter is so short. I'm sorry! At least it's better then not updating, right? I wanted to get it out so you guys wouldn't think I'm dead or something. Well, I'm not, because here I am! Updating. A short chapter. Sorry again! Oh, and remember, words in 'italics' are thoughts! REMEMBER! NOW! XD

Disclaimer: If I own Final Fantasy, I don't think I would have to go to school. I might have like, a tutor or something. I don't know. But I wouldn't be writing a fic either, if I own Final Fantasy. And here I am, writing a fic, so in conclusion … I don't own Final Fantasy!

Enjoy this incredibly short chapter!

"Is the path to the hill far from here?" Tidus asked Yuna.

"Nope, not really. You'll be at your hotel soon," Yuna assured him.

"Great," Tidus said sarcastically, remembering the party that his mom had planned.

"You're not happy to go back to a hotel?" Yuna said, surprised. "I think I would've been ecstatic."

"Uh, well, I guess I am," Tidus said, now wondering how big his 'web of lies' was going to turn into. "But it could get pretty boring after a while."

"Oh," Yuna said, simply.

The two continued walking until they saw a small house, with an old lady sitting in a rocking chair near it. She was slowly rocking in the chair, humming a hymn.

"She seems … kind of lonely," Tidus whispered to Yuna. It was true. The woman wasn't talking to anyone.

"That's Grandma Leena," Yuna explained. "Of course, she's not my grandma, but most people like to call her that. Her real grandchildren are out somewhere … she doesn't usually like to talk about it. I think they might be all the way in Besaid though."

"Grandma Leena? The name sounds familiar."

"You sure you don't have a grandma named Leena?" Yuna asked, teasingly.

"I'm too sure."

Hearing the voices, Leena opened her eyes and stared at Tidus and Yuna.

"Good afternoon, Grandma Leena," Yuna said, politely.

"Well, hello Yuna, what brings you here?" the elder asked, just as politely.

"My friend, Tidus Aikona, and I, were just stopping by and –"

"Tidus Aikona!" the woman interrupted.

"Um, yes, Tidus Aikona," Yuna repeated, surprised.

The old woman, though unsteady on her feet, got up and shook Tidus' hand. Tidus looked at Yuna, and Yuna just shrugged.

"It's been so long, Tidus," Leena said, still shaking her hand. "It has been over eight years! What brings you here again?"

"Um …" Tidus said, unsure of what to say.

"Oh, Tidus is just visiting this town, Grandma Leena," Yuna told her.

"Visiting? You mean you haven't moved back here?" the woman asked.

Confusion swept over Tidus and Yuna, and Tidus was still running out of time. What in Spira was Grandma Leena talking about?

"Um, actually, we sort of have to go, Grandma Leena … we'll talk again soon, okay?" Yuna said, grabbing onto Tidus hand, and, once again, dragging him away.

"Well then, goodbye Yuna! Goodbye Tidus, I hope to see you again soon!" Leena said, waving, then sitting back into her chair and humming the hymn once again. As if nothing had happened.

Once they were out of sight from Grandma Leena, Tidus and Yuna stopped running.

"That woman sure was … crazy …" Tidus said.

"Maybe its just age," Yuna thought out loud. "But it's weird. It's as if she's known you before!"

Tidus took note of their surroundings. "Hey! All that running brought us too –"

"The trail to the top of this hill," Yuna finished for him.

"Wow. That didn't take long."

"You didn't think I was lying, did you?" Yuna said, grinning.

"Uh …"

"Hm, so you did think I was lying?"

"No, no, it's not that!" Tidus said, putting his arm in front of him as if it was a defense barrier.

"It's fine. But help doesn't come free, you know."

"Uh …"

Yuna sighed, but then laughed. "I was just kidding."

Hiding in bushes near Yuna and Tidus, Rikku and Gippal were watching their every move.

"I'll be home soon … I'll be home soon …" Gippal kept on whispering to himself.

"Home? Isn't your home in Luca?" Rikku asked, turning to look at him.

Gippal was silent, then changed the words to his chant.

"I'll be at the hotel soon … I'll be at the hotel soon …"

'Something fishy is going on around here …' Rikku thought.

"Why do you want to go back to your hotel so quick anyways?" Rikku said, changing her question.

"A person does need their rest once in a while, you know," Gippal told her.

"In other words … you're tired?"

"Yeah."

"You're such a couch potato … we hardly ran!" Rikku said, forgetting to whisper.

"You're such a couch potato … we hardly ran!"

"Did those bushes …" Yuna said, looking at the bushes that decorated the trail.

"… just talk?" Tidus said, finishing her thought.

"Maybe it's the heat …" Yuna said. "But that sounded too much like a friend of mine."

"Who's there?" Tidus asked.

No answer

"C'mon, show yourself!"

Still no answer.

"Well, I guess it's nothing … let's just ignore it for now," Yuna told him. And they continued walking.

"… That was close. Way too close," Gippal said.

"Sorrrryyy," Rikku apologized.

"It's all right, I guess," Gippal said. "C'mon. They're moving again."

"All right!" Rikku said, forgetting to whisper again.

Gippal punched her in the arm.

"… All right," Rikku said, whispering. "Let's go!"

As they moved slowly and quietly (well, quietly as Rikku can get) Gippal whispered to Rikku, "Why are we doing this again?"

"Because I want to see how Yunie acts! It's been a long time since she's been around a guy like this, don't you remember anything I tell you?"

"You're the one who forgot to whisper. And you're the one who told us to whisper in the first place, remember, Cid's girl?"

"Rikku! Rikku!"

"Gippal. Gippal."

Rolling her eyes, Rikku replied, "Just trust me, okay? Tidus will be back soon and you'll be able to rest in your hotel, all right?"

Okay, I have to end it here. I'm sorry it's so short! I know it is! And I'm sorry about that! I'll try to update sooner then I did this time! Sorry, guys! Please review! I'm using too many exclamation points! Must use less exclamation points!
