Okay. I'm clearing this up from the start. Tidus was punched in the gut and that knocked him out, but Jeena was knocked in the head. The area of impact can determine the amount of time one is out, and according to what I found, a blow to the head lasts longer. So if anyone has questions about how it started where it did, here's your answer.

Discalimer: I own no Final Fantasy property.

"Hey, I helped out, didn't I?" I heard my brother speak as I finally came to. I picked myself up and looked around. I noticed that we weren't in that building anymore. The motion of the metal floor and the sound of water alone made me realize that we were on a ship. What the heck happened while I was out?

"Tidus," I called, getting his attention.

"Jeena!" He ran over to the side of the ship I was on. "Are you okay?"

I couldn't help but smile some. "You're asking me that question a lot lately."

"Am I? Should I stop?" His humor always got me in a good mood.

"No, no. It's just strange, but what's stranger is the fact that I don't know where I am."

"Oh, those guys took us to their ship."

"You mean the ones that tried to kill us?" I could feel my anger building.

"Almost, but I think that girl kept them."

"The one that hit you? If she shows her face around me then, so help me." I adjusted the glove that was on my hand.

"Whoa! Hold on there." As he spoke, he lowered my fist. "Let's just see how this plays out."

I don't know how long it was. It felt like an hour since the conversation. I was in a half sleep daze, but my hunger was keeping me awake. "Uhh... hungry." Apparently the lack of food was getting to him, too. Not even a few seconds later, I heard some footsteps. I didn't react until I heard Tidus gasp real quick. I looked over and saw that girl again, this time having a couple trays of food in each hand.

She placed one in front of Tidus, him getting wide eyed. "Whoa! Right on!"

She passed him and gave me the second tray. I wasn't sure what to do, considering that I still wanted to confront her about hitting my brother, but her being nice enough to give me food kept me from any sudden action. "Uh... thanks?"

She nodded and I found a small smile on her face. I just kept looking at her. If she was this nice, why did she hit Tidus the way that she did? However, my eyes adverted as I heard someone choking. Obviously, Tidus was eating too fast. He grabbed a canteen that the girl had on her and started drinking from it. That's what he gets for rushing.

"It's 'cause you eat too fast." She speaks?! I thought everyone on this ship only spoke that strange language. The first thing I understood her saying was something we could agree on. Tidus put down his tray and started walking around, stretching, and all that. "Hey!"

He turned as she spoke. "Hello there. What is your name?"

She was silent at first, until she answered, "Rikku."

"Whoa! You really do understand!" He started jumping some and laughing. Was he water logged? Did Tidus fall overboard while I was out? "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I didn't get a chance to! Everyone thought oui were fiends." Rikku then motioned the knives to the throat.

But, wait a second, what did she say? "Uh, excuse me," I came in. "We?"

"Oh, oui means you."

That took a moment for me to comprehend. I was guessing she was using their tongue. "Uh... Who are you guys, anyway?" Tidus asked.

"We're Al Bhed. Can't you tell?" Nothing was clicking in my mind. "Wait, you two aren't Al Bhed haters, are you?"

"We don't even know what an Al Bhed is," Tidus mentioned.

"I might have been," I added, "if you didn't come along."

"Well, thanks to brighten up your view," Rikku smiled. "Were are you from?"

"Zanarkand," Tidus answered. Rikku's face looked completely confused. "I'm a blitzball player. Star player of the Zanarkand Abes!" Rikku's face still didn't change.

"Did you, hit your head or something?"

"Um, you guys hit me." That was true even on my case... I think.

"Oh, right... Anything before that?"

"Rikku," I came in, "I would tell you the exact same thing. Well, not the blitzball part."

"Are you sure?"

I let Tidus tell her what there was to know about Zanarkand. About life there, blitzball, and Sin's attack. He even told her about the light that Tidus, Auron and I was engulfed in. He sounded to just say things that came to mind. However, this didn't seem to help Rikku's case. She seemed more confused by the minute, if not worried.

"Did I say something funny?" Tidus asked.

"You were near Sin." She sounded to be surprised. "Don't worry. You'll be better in no time. They say your head gets funny when Sin is near. Maybe you just had some kind of dream?"

What the heck was she talking about? "You mean we're sick?!" I asked in total disbelief.

"Because of Sin's toxin, yeah."

"You sure?" Tidus added.

"Yeah, there is no Zanarkand anymore. Sin destroyed it a thousand years ago. So... no one plays blitzball there."

What was she talking about? It couldn't be a thousand years ago! We were there when it happened! We couldn't have traveled through time, could we?

"Wait! What do you mean, a thousand years ago?" I demanded.

"We saw Sin attack Zanarkand!" Tidus mentioned. "You're saying that happened a thousand years ago? No way!"

It took a minute for things to settle down. Silence was among the ship, if you didn't count the engine and waves. If it really was a thousand years ago, then where could we go now?

"You said... you play blitzball?" Rikku asked after a while.

"Well, I do," Tidus answered. "Jeena doesn't."

"You're brother and sister, right?" I nodded as she looked at me. "You know, you should go to Luca. Someone might know who you are, or you two might find someone you recognize."

"Luca?" My brother and I repeated. Rikku just sighed. Apparently she though it was still the toxin. I couldn't say it wasn't, cause it would just make the situation worse. Rikku pushed herself from the rails and started walking around. Was she planing something?

She dashed over and tapped Tidus on the shoulder to get his attention, but she already had mine. "Okay, leave it to me! I'll get you to Luca, promise!" Neither of us said anything. "You'd rather stay here?"

"Nuh-uh!"

"Okay, I'll go tell the others. Wait here." She started off, but stopped suddenly. "Oh, and one thing." She turned. "Don't tell anyone you're from Zanarkand, okay? Yevon says it's a holy place. You might upset someone."

"Understood," I said.

She just smiled. "You're a quick learner, Jeena."

We've been sitting around the ship for some time. None of what I heard made sense. Our Zanarkand, a holy place? Getting thrown a thousand years into the future? It seemed more like we were just taken to a far away place, like we could get back if we traveled far enough.

"No way!" Tidus exclaimed. I could tell he was frustrated.

"Tidus." He didn't seem to listen. What he did do was turn and kick some metal behind him. After that, the ship tilted and sent me and Tidus for a loop. "What the heck did you do?"

"Hey! I didn't do it!"

A couple of Al Bhed came out, and not even they could keep their balance. As we made our way to the side railing, a huge wave of water was coming. "Sin! Sin ec lusa!"

"Ihtan ic! Ihtan ic!"

I wasn't sure what they were saying, but it must've been about that wave. It disappeared a second, then came back up and rounded the ship. Water rained down and I could feel myself falling overboard, the water pulling me further and further in until I saw nothing but darkness.
