Chapter 3: Apologizing

After redoing her make-up Rikku ran around everywhere on the airship looking for Yuna.

'Where is she?!' Rikku thought the third time she was on the bridge. 'The airship isn't that big!' She asked everyone if they had seen Yuna, but none of them had. "She went looking for you, but she never came back…" Paine answered when Rikku asked her. "Whoa! That must be the longest sentence I ever heard you say!" Rikku just blurted out. "You make it sound like I can't talk!" Paine replied back. If Rikku weren't in a rush looking for Yuna, she would've started laughing at this or something, but instead she just ran of to find her.

'Okay, where would I've gone if I were Yuna? I've looked on the bridge, in the cabin, the engine room, her bedroom and on the de— Oh my Yevon! I forgot to look on the deck!'

Rikku hit her forehead before running to the elevator.

"Come on, come on!" She said while she pressed the same button like 20 times, before the elevator started to move. Rikku was never the patient kind of person. The elevator stopped, and the door opened. Rikku rushed out of the door, and saw Yuna staring out in the distance by the end of the airship (AN: You know, where that seagull thingie is). Rikku moved closer to her, and Yuna must've heard her, since she turned around for a little while, before turning around to the distance again. "You know, sometimes I think he is still here, just behind my back, and expecting that when I turn around, I will just stare in the beautiful, blue eyes of his. But every time I turn around I get disappointed. He's gone, but I believe I will see him again… Someday…" Yuna said with a sad tone in her voice. Rikku knew very well who she was talking about. Tidus… It had been a little under two years since he disappeared. Rikku kinda hated him for that. 'He took Yuna's heart and broke it, even though he probably didn't mean it…' That was always what Rikku told herself, whenever she thought of him. Since the first time they met, Rikku liked him. Then he fell of their ship, and Rikku actually thought he died, so just imagine the shock that met her when she saw him, perfectly fine at the Moonflow, after kicking her ass… Sometimes Rikku thought that it would've been best, if Tidus died when he fell of the ship, then Yuna didn't have to suffer broken hearted. But, that thought were soon forgotten when Rikku remembered all the good things he brought into Spira. If he didn't show up in the ocean near by the Baaj Ruins and in Besaid afterwards, the Eternal Calm would never exist. At least that was what Rikku thought.

But, that was not the reason why Rikku was up here on the deck! Rikku shook her thoughts out of her head before she said: "Yuna… I'm really sorry for my behavior before, and I really hope you could forgive me…" Yuna didn't answer at first. "I forgive you," Yuna answered after awhile, still gazing out in the endless sky. "After all, you are my best friend, and that's what friends do, when other friends do something stupid. They forgive each other!" Yuna turned around and on her face was a big beautiful smile. You could still see marks on her cheek, that showed the fact that she had been crying, but none of her mascara was on her cheeks or anything. 'She must use water proof,' Rikku thought before running the last few meters that parted her and Yuna, to give Yuna a really big hug. "Rikku! Be careful! You almost tackled me to the ground! What if we fell of the ship?!" Yuna was both lecturing Rikku and laughing at the same time. 'Yuna and I are similar in many ways… Both of us hide our sorrows with smiles and laughter, not wanting anyone to worry…' Rikku started to laugh too.

"You know, you shouldn't let Brother see you crying!" Yuna stopped laughing for a bit. "Why?" "Because then he put the blame on me! You should've heard the talk we had a while ago. I don't think I've ever heard him so serious before!" Yuna became thoughtful again. "Rikku, I don't want to force you to tell me why you were acting so not you… But, could you please tell me what happened?" Yuna started to beg her. " I mean if you don't want to, I'm perfectly okay with it, but I don't want to see you heartbroken, like me…"

'She knows!' Rikku's thoughts screamed out really loud up in her head. "Uhm… What do you mean? Heartbroken? Me? No, no, no, I'm not heartbroken at all." Rikku said her voice was getting lower and lower for each word she said. 'Yes, you are!' Her thoughts yelled at her again. Rikku really hated it when they did that.

"Okay…" Yuna started to say, before walking towards the elevator. "But, you know, you're a terrible liar."

When Yuna were out of sight, Rikku sighed. "I am, aren't I?"


That was chapter 3 to you. I will try to update soon.
