FINAL FANTASY X-2

The Machina War of Destruction.

Chapter one.

The two lovers.

I was sitting at the dinner table. She'd just finished making dinner, and we were sitting around the dinner table eating spaghetti with meatballs and tomato sauce. She watched how I was sitting there eating her food so gratefully. "This is our life now." I thought happily. I watched her through the candle on the table. She was so beautiful; her long, silky hair, her beautiful blue and green eyes, the either pure green, while the other pure blue. (This is originally the color of Yuna's eyes, so I'm using that, since Yuna and Lenne resemble each other in many ways) And her voice was so musical and sweet. Just by hearing it, I felt like I had not a problem in the world. She made my world and my life perfect and whole. "By the way, Lenne." I asked, after swallowing a mouthful of her delicious spaghetti. (I know we don't really get to know if Lenne is a great cook in the game, but since she loves Shuyin, I thought I'd express that through her cooking skills) "You said you'd written a new song?" She nodded, smiling. That goddess-like smile which made her face seem to shine and look even more gorgeous.

"Yeah, I did. Just finished it, actually. I named it "1000 no Kobota". (1000 Words in Japanese, but I bet you already know that)

Lenne smiled at my approving beam. The beam which always seemed to make her want to hug me. "When are you gonna publish it?" I asked, setting my fork back on the table after I'd finished eating.

"We'll see." She replied cheerfully. She seemed so happy! She looked as if she truly was delighted to be around me! I stood up and went around the table. I stood beside her, and put my arms around neck, kissing her. I loved this woman so much. Sometimes, I wondered what I would be without her, or if I would actually be able to live without my Lenne by my side. I wouldn't lose her for anything in this world.

Later that day, we went out on the street. Lenne held her Summoner Staff, and summoned the Aeon Valefor, so we could take a ride in the night. The stars were sparkling magnificently up there, and the moon looked like a gigantic orb of shining light. We climbed unto Valefor's back, Lenne climbed on behind me, leaning against my back.

I looked down at Zanarkand as Valefor flew higher. All the lights, all the people down there, everything about our hometown appealed to both of us. I turned around so I could see Lenne more clearly.

She was sitting on Valefor's back behind me, looking as if she was peaceful to the point of bliss. She let herself fall on top of me on Valefor, and pressed her body against mine, holding me tightly, as though she was saying. "Don't go, Shuyin! Please, stay with me forever! I don't want to lose you!" I Held her in return, letting my hand go up and down her back, as if reassuring her that I'll always be there. Valefor zoomed through the night silently. It was completely still, with no noise to disturb us. Right now, Zanarkand was an entire world for me and Lenne alone.
