I fixed the last part in the last chapter. It's now accurate.

Chapter 8: To Luca we Go

"Please," Yuna pleaded.

"Hu." Rikku crossed her arms. "Oui cruimt veht ymm drec uid uh ouin ufh. Fedruid sa dammehk oui ajanodrehk."

Yuna had a puzzled look on her face. She was utterly baffled.

"Mad'c caa fryd Tidus frydc de ghuf..." Rikku crept out of the room, sneaking up on the defenseless Tidus. "Puu!"

"DAH!" Tidus fumbled the sphere around in his hands, attempting to stop it from falling. "What the HELL was that for!"

"Zicd 'lyica." Rikku giggled, patting the other blonde's head. "Cu...fryd tu oui fyhd du ghuf?"

"What?" He stuffed the sphere in his pocket. "What's with the Al Bhed?"

"E mega du syga oui secanepma." She giggled. "Zicd gettehk!"

"Say something I can actually understand," Tidus demanded. "I only know one word in Al Bhed."

"Veha!" Rikku mumbled. "Tysh. Ymfyoc niehehk dra vih! Fryd...What do you want to know about you childhood?"

"My...childhood?" He scowled. "I don't want to remember most of my childhood..."

Yuna tried to hide the hurt in her eyes, but Tidus saw right through it.

"I don't want to hear anything about my old man... Actually, I don't really want to hear anything at all." The blitzer stood up and placed a warm hand on Yuna's shoulder, still keeping eye contact with Rikku. "I'd rather find out for myself." He turned towards the summoner and grinned. She pouted.

Rikku stuck her tongue out and mocked, "Ghaf ed!" She bounced off into the Cloister of Trials.

"My brain hurts..." The Al Bhed whined, clutching her head.

"I never really did like overly large puzzles that much," Tidus added.

"I thought it was fun!" Yuna hyped, beaming. "Now I have two aeons!"

"Speaking of which..." He stepped in front of the summoner, blocking her path. "I've never seen you summon before."

"You haven't, have you?" Yuna put a finger to her lips, cocking her head to one side. She was clearly being sarcastic. "Well, you'll just of to wait till I need to during a battle."

"Yuna!" Tidus called out toward the girl, who was practically skipping away.

--

They had boarded a different ship to head to Luca. Wakka had heard of a Blitzball tournament going on over there from a survivor in Kilika.

"Off to Luca we go!" Rikku sang. "Off to Luca we go!"

"Rikku... You've been singing that for the past 20 minutes." Yuna leaned against the cold railing of the ship.

"Okay...Let me switch it around a bit." She took a deep breath. "Uvv du Luca fa ku!"

"I guess that a little better." Yuna look around anxiously, hoping to find a way to walk off. She found one. "I...uhh...need to go talk to Tidus about the...the...the sphere we found in Kilika."

"Okay! I'll go annoy Auron now!" She pranced off to the silent warrior.

Tidus had wanted to talk to Yuna alone, but seemed to be stalking the girl ever since they had gotten on the ship. He made his way over to her, leaning against the railing beside her. "Hey."

"Rao." Yuna grinned mischievously. That was one of the few words she knew in Al Bhed.

"Not you too!" The blonde face faulted. He hoped that was the only word she knew.

"Cunno." She giggled. "I couldn't help it."

A smile tugged on his lips. Tidus had begun to wonder why he denied Rikku's request of information. He did want to know about his past. Yet, something was nagging him at that moment. The urge to compile spheres and remember on his own had over taken him.

"Do you really want to remember everything by yourself?" She gazed at him, hoping for the right answer.

"Not entirely by myself..." Tidus looked into her bi-colored eyes. "I want to remember with you."

Yuna was a bit speechless for a moment, her cheeks glowing out of embarrassment. "Th-that's the cheesiest thing I've ever heard!" She gave him a playful push...off the boat.

Tidus landed in the ice-cold waters of the ocean. He sputtered out some salt water before yelling, "Now THAT was uncalled for!"

"Did I push to hard? Or does my little Tidy-widy have balance troubles?" Yuna mocked. She flung a rope latter down so he could get back on the ship.

As soon as Tidus had gotten up to the edge of the boat, he pounced, purposefully landing on Yuna. "Now you're wet too." He rolled off of her.

"Not as wet as you..." She pulled at the soaked parts.

"Urg." Tidus pulled his completely drenched shirt off, and began to ring it out. "I knew I should have brought more shirts."

Yuna stared at the ground, blushing madly. She couldn't help but take a quick peek at him. He had a rather large scar stretching from the left side of his stomach, slanting right as it streaked upward, ending at his chest. "How..." She let her eyes wonder.

"Oh, this?" He smoothly ran a hand along the scar. "Got it when Sin attacked."

"I...I have a scar too." Yuna sheepishly gazed down at the wooden deck. "On my stomach, like yours. Only...it goes up in the other direction."

Tidus left his shirt abandoned on the deck, placing a comforting hand on her shoulder. "You don't remember how you got it, don't you?" She nodded.

Yuna felt a sudden urge to cry. To fling herself into his open arms. To forget the world around them. To remember the past. To...to have everything the way it was before...
