A/N sorry to disappoint you guys, but
A/N I'm so sorry for the delay, butt it's been so much to do lately, please forgive me. Btw sorry to disappoint you guys, but this chappy is going to be in Yuna's P.O.V, so the mystery man thingy is coming in the next chapter. I'm a bit mean, mwahaha. Anyhow in next chapter is going to a bit explaining, just so you now. However, back to this chapter you're going to find out what the others did while Rikku were in Luca.

Chapter 3 Another You
So many times I was alone and couldn't sleep
You left me drowning in the tears of memory
And ever since you've gone, I found it hard to breathe
'Cause there was so much that your heart just couldn't see
Yuna's P.O.V
"Yuna, I'm leaving for Djose temple now," Gippal said as he made his way to me. Paine had already left; she said she was going to check if anyone in the Youth League had seen Rikku.
"Maybe someone of my guys at the factory has seen her." He said, while counting his gil. He mumbled something "I should have enough gil to get to Djose." "I gotta pick up some more gil, when I arrive." He added. I nodded and he made his way out of Bevelle.
We had to find her; I can't take it if something happens to her, if she disappear to, I don't know what to do. It was enough that I would never going to see Tidus again, but to loose Rikku too...I just don't know.
When he disappeared I felt so alone, and I lay awake every night and couldn't sleep, because all I could think of was the memories of us, and I was drowning in my tears of memory.
The loss of him made it hard for me to breathe. Nevertheless, not anymore, I met Baralai and the time has healed me, and even if I am going to see Tidus again, the feelings I had is now long gone and I would had said goodbye to him.
Baralai makes me feel whole again.
But time's been healing me and I say good-bye...
'Cause I can breathe again, dream again
I'll be on the road again
Like we used to be the other day
Now I feel free again, so innocent
'Cause someone makes me whole again
For sure... I'll find another you
"Yuna, Gippal told us to met him in Luca," I snapped back to reality when Baralai talked.
We all decided to go look for Rikku after she had been gone for 24 hours, Lulu and Wakka and Vidina had already went to Luca 3 hours ago. Baralai and me were also going to Luca, but we were going to meet Paine on the travel agency on Mi-hen highroad, so we kinda better get going. I kissed Baralai on his cheek and felt lighter; beside I haven't even asked Rikku to be my maid of honor. And what's a wedding without.
We had the airship so we were at the agency just 2 hours later.
Could you imagine someone else is by my side?
I've been afraid I couldn't keep myself from falling
My heart was always searching for a place to hide
Could not await the dawn to bring another day
You're not the only one so hear me when I say
The thoughts of you, they just fade away
"Someone had seen her pass by, just a couple of hours ago" Paine spoke, as she walked out of the Agency. "I think she was heading to Luca" She added with a sligth worried voice.
"We're gonna meet Gippal in Luca" I told her.
Luca, it was always so many people there greeting her and say kind word about 'The high-Summoner who saved them all' I never imagined Baralai and me as a couple, but I love him with all of my heart. When I would go hiding from all the mess and the responsibility of being the High-summoner, Spira's ray of ligth, Baralai were there for me. He makes me rise when I fall, he wipes away the tears I cries. Could you imagine someone else is by my side? The past is past, I will not dwell on it anymore, the thoughts of you Tidus, they just faded away. I'm happy now, more happy then I've ever been in my whole life.
"Let's get going then!" I told Paine and Baralai, and we went boarded the airship.
As the airplane started, I saw Brother send Baralai a jealous glare, I giggeled and guessed that Brother still had his Yuna obsession. One time Rikku had asked why she didn't have a boyfriend, and Brother replyed with 'You're not Yunalicious enough.' Then Rikku tried to strangle him, but Paine stopped her, to bad really, if I wouldn't been so kind hearted I think I would have killed him myself.
Brother parked the airship on one of the empty docks, and Baralai, Paine and me went outside and headed for the stairs that led up to the Mi-Hen highroad.
We sat down on the nearest bench on top of the stairs, and waited to Gippal to arrive.
'Cause I can breathe again, dream again
I'll be on the road again
Like it used to be the other day
Now I feel free again, so innocent
'Cause someone makes me whole again
For sure... I'll find another you
After a few hours, we began to wonder where he was, he should be here by now. Then we saw Lulu, Wakka, and a sleeping Vidina in his arms walking up the stairs against us. "Lulu, Wakka! Did you see her?" I jumped up and ran towards them. Lulu shaked her head, and I sighed "But Vidina pointed and maked a sound that sounded just like 'Ikko' and when I turned around I saw a familiar blond braided head running through the mass of people." Lulu smiled and added "that means that she's in Luca, Yuna." I smiled and runned to Baralai, and kissed him with a long passionate kiss on the lips. He smiled at me and we stood like this, in what seemed like forever, until Wakka's voice cut through the silence, and we snapped back to reality. "Where's that Gippal dude ya?"
As summoned Gippal came rolling down the stair that led to Mi-hen highroad followed by Al-Bhed curses. I heard Paine squeaked and ran over to him and helped him up. I heard him muttering "Stupid, lying thief..." and some Al-Bhed words I didn't understand. "What happened Gip, why are you so late?" Asked Paine as they walked over too us.
"Oh, I'm going to tell you what happened! That lying, sneaky, stupid thief stole all of my money at Djose!" He yelled. I gasped, "All of you're money? Why? How?" I asked confused, why would she do something like that? I know they aren't best friends, but steal his money!
"Well she just marched into Djose temple and slapped my secretary, and acted very hysterical, and then she said that I owed her money, and of course everyone in the factory knew about our past. And then my secretary gave in and led her to where I kept my money, Rikku just counted my money and grabbed almost all of it, and only left 15 gil and a note that said 'To Gippal, let's see how far you come without your gil. Rikku.' Then she just walked out of the factory as if nothing had happened." Gippal sat down on the bench and whined "And I had to walk from Djose, because I didn't have enough gil to ride the hover!"
I rolled my eyes "It's so awfully long way from Djose to here, poor you" I said dripping with sarcasm.
We all knew Gippal to well, to see that there was a catch here. Paine stared suspicious at Gippal and then realized something.
"You did owe her money didn't you? In addition, what's that thing about how far you could come without your gil?" she said in her same monotone tone.
"uhm...Well you see, erm...When I was 16 and she was 15, just before the crimson squad thingy. Well I decided to take her out for a nice date on the Bikanel shore, to watch the sunset and stuff because I knew how she loved the sunsets." He took a pause and smiled at Paine with a ¨please don't kill me' look.
"Uhm... Then we ended up kissing and she told me how much she cared about me, but then a big fiend appeared and of course we were so stupid, and hadn't take any weapons with us. The fiend knocked out Rikku, and was about to eat her or something. I picked up Rikku and runned away from the fiend, and I saw a little motel thingy, and left her there. I took her gil and rented a hoover, but I was just going to get help, because I couldn't carry her all the way to Home"
"You just left her there!?" I yelled at him.
"It wasn't my fault, the sandstorm came, and she got stuck there for four days, before we got the chance to 'rescue' her. Okay if she had her gil she would have come back to Home by herself..."He trailed of when he noticed Paine's look.
But I can breathe again, dream again
I'll be on the road again
Like it used to be the other day
Now I feel free again, so innocent
'Cause someone makes me whole again
For sure... I'll find another you
After we decided to find a nice little café, we bought some sandwiches and ate them while we walked around in Luca. We decided to head over to my little house by the docks, when we noticed that the sun was gone and replaced with a chilly breeze. but before we came there, we got stopped by Shelinda and her camera-man.
"And here we are with Lady Yuna and Praetor Baralai. The rumor says they are here to announce something, I wonder what?" She said to the camera –man.
Which rumors, I haven't heard any rumors, And nobody know about the wedding, beside Rikku.
"So will you tell us what the announcement is, Lady Yuna?" Shelinda asked
"I...I" I looked up at Baralai, he smiled at me and nodded.
"Praetor Baralai and I, High-Summoner Yuna have decided to get married, the wedding will be held three months from today." I saw Shelinda gasp and heardothers gasp. I realized that I was on the big sphere screen, and everyone in Luca had just heard my announcement.
"I knew it, I knew it!" I heard Shelinda say.
"Congratulations Lady Yuna and Praetor Baralai!" She said proud, and ended the interview.
"I'm so happy for you Lady Yuna; I knew it was something between you two since you're first date" After that comment she was already interviewing a new person.
Baralai took my hand and we walked over to our house.
When we all came to my house, I noticed light inside the house. "Maybe it's Rikku," Baralai guessed.
I had totally forgotten that I had lent Rikku my house, so I sneaked up and found the door locked. I found my keys and opened the door, and what I found inside surprised me; Rikku's Daggers and her clothes; the bikini top and her mini skirt.
"Her clothes" I mumbled.
"What, she's running around naked?!" Gippal shouted
Wakka shaked his head as he'd never seen a seen a bigger idiot, and the rest just glanced hopeless at Gippal.
"She probably bought new clothes with your money" Lulu replied him.
I walked over to the window and glanced out over the sea, which in this case I couldn't see anything because of the darkness.
I had a weird feeling something bad is going to happen tomorrow, I wonder what...
Oh, I'll find another you
A/N Someone might find this chapter a bit boring (me for example) I look forward to write the next chappy. I'm going to post the next chappy as fast as i can next time, I hope it's not going to be any delays this time.
