Tidus saw the girls standing on the pier and ran over. "Remind me not to get on your bad side ok." Tidus looked over at Yuna and Rikku. "I'm warning you now Brother is pissed, I mean Buddy and I are on Paine's side and the lil guy says he's not getting involved."
Rikku narrowed her eyes. "What are you saying?"
Tidus took a deep breath and sighed. "He wants Paine out."
"What!" Rikku looked at Tidus then at Yuna and Paine.
Paine smirked. "Fine, go back and tell him I'll be right there to get my stuff, and tell him I better not ever see or hear from him again or he's hurt."
"Paine you can't…" Yuna looked at Paine and her eyes teared up.
Paine offered her a soft smile. "Don't cry Yuna I figured this would happen."
"I hope he knows if you go I go." Yuna put her hands on her hips and turned a serious gaze towards the air ship.
Rikku bounced up and down. "Yea me too."
"You guys don't have to…"
"We know we don't have to Paine. We want to." Yuna kissed Paine softly on the cheek. "Let's go get our stuff."
The three girls walked onto the air ship and went straight to the cabin. Paine pulled a black duffel bag out from under her bed and tossed her stuff in it. Yuna and Rikku did the same before walking out of the cabin the girls all put their communicators on their bed and as they were leaving Buddy walked out of the bridge. "I told him if Paine went you two went to and he didn't seem care. Hey look if you 3 are gone so am I. I ain't staying here after today. I was on my way out before you three joined up. I'll catch up to you guys on the island ok. Take care."
The girls nodded and exited the air ship. Paine sighed a bit and looked at her two friends. "You guys want some help with those?"
Yuna smiled and shook her head no. "We can manage thank you though Paine."
Paine offered a nod and the three girls headed for the village. Lulu was just walking out of her hut when she saw the three walking into the village. "Yuna?" The black mage walked towards them and the smile that tugged at her lips soon disappeared. "Yuna what are you guys doing here?"
Yuna offered a soft smile. "It's a long story Lulu."
Paine simply shook her head. "Let's just say Brother crossed the line and I threatened him and ended up getting the boot and they said if I go they go so."
Lulu nodded. "Here there's an empty hut over here." The mage took the girls to a nice sized hut the three could easily fit in comfortably and pulled up the vacant sign and smiled at them. "I told you before Paine for life."
Paine nodded. "Yea." Paine sighed heavily and dropped her duffel bag on the empty bed and flopped down and took a sudden interest in her boots.
Yuna looked at Paine and squatted down in front of her and cocked her head to the side to look at Paine. "Whats up with the sudden interest in your boots?"
Paine cracked a small smile and looked at Yuna. "Whats your sudden interest in sitting on the floor?"
Yuna smiled and stood up and sat down on the bed next to Paine. "Hey come on now cheer up now we chose to go with you."
Paine looked over at Yuna and shook her head. "I take it you guys are gonna want to stay on Besaide."
Yuna smiled. "No actually I don't. I want to start a new life you know I'm sick of hiding the fact I'm half Al Bhed."
Paine shrugged. "Then quit."
Rikku smiled. "Well how about Bikinal Desert?" Rikku bounced up and down. "We can still be spear hunters girls. Good bye Gullwings hello YRP!"
Paine smiled softly and stood up and rested an arm on Rikku's shoulder. "Well we got the RP what about you Yuna?"
Yuna stood and put and arm on Paine's shoulder. "Y is definitely in."
Rikku giggled. "Then that's that we are now officially YRP!" Rikku bounced a little as she stood there putting her left arm straight out in front of her. Paine smirked and put her leather clad hand over Rikku's. Yuna smiled and placed her hand over Paine's. "That it then YRP forever girls." Rikku smiled more. "In the morning we head for Djose Gipple can give us a lift to Bikinal."
Paine smirked. "Tattoo's anyone?"
Yuna playfully swatted Paine's arm. "Hello ouch pain."
Paine laughed. "What did I do?"
Yuna shook her head. "Not the pain I meant."
Rikku smiled hearing the usually unemotional girl laugh. "Why not? Come on Yunie it will be cool all three of us with an emblem ya know kinda like YRP's symbol."
"And just what do you suggest for a symbol Rikku?" Yuna looked at her cousin and cocked her head to one side.
"Um ask Paine it was her idea." Rikku giggled nervously and looked at Paine.
Lulu smiled softly. "Ok you three after you get settled in meet me and Wakka for lunch at the café below the temple ok." The three girls nodded and the black mage took her leave.
Paine blinked a few times and went to her bag pulled out a pencil and a pad of paper and sat down on her bed resting against the head board and started to sketch. Yuna and Rikku both shrugged a bit and sat on Rikku's bed and talked while Paine sketched. "Ha perfect." Paine closed the sketch book and started to put her stuff back in her bag leaving the sketch book on her bed. Paine kept slapping the hands of a certain blonde Al Bhed thief who kept trying to peek. "Rikku you try to peek on more time you'll lose 5 points, and if you try to get Yuna to peek for you its 10 points."
"Come on Paine I wanna see." Rikku whined
"I'll show you guys after we meet up with Lulu and Wakka."
"Not fair we want to see it now." Rikku pouted.
Paine finally gave in. "You guys really want to see it that bad huh." Rikku and Yuna nodded and Paine just shook her head and sat between them. "Ok but just to warn you this is just a sketch if you guys like it I'll clean it up finalize it and we can go get it." Paine opened up the sketch book to a picture she sketched of Yuna and Rikku sitting at the bar on the Celsius and quickly flipped the page to the right one. In the center of page was what looked like eyes with an open heart over them and a triangle all together and wavy.
Paine looked between her friends and back at the picture. "So what do you think?"
Rikku smiled. "Its cool but I wanna see that picture of me and Yunie you drew."
Paine blushed a bit. "Uh which one? There's like 3 of both of you and like 2 of each of you."
Yuna smiled and winked at Rikku. "How about all of them?"
Paine looked at her two friends and shook her head. "How bout later huh Lulu and Wakka are waiting for us."
"Come on Paine please show us before we go." Yuna trailed her fingers up and down the back of Paine's neck every now and then twirling the silky strands of silver hair around her finger.
Paine closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "Ok, ok you win here." Paine handed Yuna her sketch book. "Just keep in mind they are only sketches I haven't cleaned them up and colored them yet."
Yuna smiled and nodded and opened the sketch book and looked at the pictures with Rikku looking over her shoulder. "Paine these are really good. I never knew you could draw."
Paine smiled a bit. "Yea well it's not one of my better talents."
Rikku stuck her tongue out at Paine. "Shut up these are great."
"Whatever you say Rikku." Paine stood from the bed and walked towards the open flap of the hut. She stood in the doorway and sighed softly before looking back over her shoulder at her friends. "You guys about ready to go?"
Yuna smiled. "Yea were ready let's go Rikku."
The three girls walked to the café and sat down with Lulu, Wakka and Vidina. Yuna and Rikku offered bright smiles at their friends and Paine simply nodded feeling a little out of place. Lulu smiled a bit and gave Paine a soft smile sensing her discomfort. "You don't have to feel out of sorts here any friend of Yuna's is a friend of mine so please don't feel weird." Paine offered a small smile and a slight nod. The five sat and ate and talked for a while before they went their separate ways.
Yuna and Rikku went for a walk on the beach while Paine went back to the hut and cleaned up the sketches in her sketch book and colored them. Yuna and Rikku walked back in to the hut after the sun went down and Paine was just finishing up the last picture of Yuna. "Paine why didn't you come with us?"
"Busy." Paine never looked up and continued to color.
Rikku snickered. "Getting busy without Yunie huh?"
Paine sighed in annoyment. "Fuck you Rikku." A slight chuckle was uttered as she spoke.
Yuna chuckled at the expression that sat on Paine's face. "So what had you so busy that you didn't walk with us huh?" Yuna sat on the bed next to Paine and ran a finger up and down her arm.
"This." Paine turned the picture of Yuna towards the summoner and blushed a bit. "It's not quite done but I finished the picture of the tattoo if you guys want to see it."
Rikku bounced over to the bed and sat on the other side of Paine. "Ok let's see it." Paine flipped to the finished sketch of the tattoo and smiled a bit when she saw Rikku's and Yuna's reaction. "Paine this is great. We can leave it just like that too it's perfect."
Rikku yawned and stretched. "I don't know about you guys but its been a long day and I'm beat, so I'm going to sleep." Rikku walked across the room to her bed and flopped down a soft moan escaping her lips.
Yuna leaned over and kissed Paine's neck softly. "Walk with me on the beach."
Paine looked at Yuna out of the corner of her eye and smirked while leaning in and whispering in her ear as she did she wrapped one arm around Yuna's waist. "You want more then just a walk on the beach I'm sure."
Yuna leaned into Paine and smiled a bit. "Mmmmmhmmm." Yuna placed a hand over Paine's and turned her head and kissed Paine softly. "Please…" Yuna breathed.
