Carmina's POV:

Onee-chan and I followed Rikku and her crew to their salvage ship. I was worried about Tidus and glanced at him occasionally. Sometimes, I saw Kita-neechan sneaking glances too. Once we got on the deck, Rikku explained something to Nee-chan. Onee-chan then turned to me. "I told her we don't know how to swim, so she agreed to let us stay on the ship while she goes with Tidus down there when he wakes up." I nodded and sat down next to Tidus, who was lying on the deck.

"Mina. Go get the Al Bhed primer so you could learn a bit and then teach Tidus." Onee-chan whispered to me. I nodded and quickly got it where the crane was. When I went back to Tidus, he started stirring. He began to stand up, but an Al Bhed shoved him down.

"Ced, Lybdeja!" he exclaimed.

"Hey, that hurts!" Tidus shouted.

"Hu sujehk, oui rayn?" the Al Bhed ordered Tidus to do. I walked over to Tidus and kneeled down next to him.

"You alright?" I whispered. He nodded, then I heard footsteps. I saw Brother and Rikku approaching us. Brother started doing actions with his hands directed towards Tidus.

"Right. Whatever." Tidus replied. Kita-nee jabbed him in the side as she pulled me over to her side.

"Ehcumahla!" Brother exclaimed.

"Fyed! He said you can stay if you make yourself useful." Rikku translated for Tidus and me. Kita-nee was the only one of us who understood and spoke Al Bhed.

"You, you understand me! All right, I'll work!" Tidus exclaimed.

"Oh, almost forgot!" Rikku shouted. She showed all three of us how to use the sphere grid. It was actually pretty neat! After that, Tidus walked over to the side of the boat with the crane.

"Rao! Kad yfyo vnus drana!" Brother shouted. I flinched at the loudness of his voice, and Kita-neechan was obviously annoyed of his voice as well.

"Alright! Alright! You don't have to shout!" Tidus exclaimed. Kita-nee shook her head while I giggled.

"We found some ancient ruins right beneath us. It's not active now, but there should still be some power left. We're gonna go down there and activate it and then we should be able to salvage the big prize! The girls don't have to come, since they don't know how to swim!" Rikku explained. "Okay! Let's get to work!" Rikku exclaimed.

"Roger!" Tidus shouted. He was about to jump off the boat, but then he looked at us and gave us the thumbs up sign. I smiled and gave him one back. Kita-nee didn't do anything. "Stay safe you two! And don't go near the edge of the boat!" he advised us. Once he jumped off the boat, I turned to Kita-nee and led her to the place with the crates. We sat down and I looked at her closely.

"Oneechan?" I called out to her softly.

"What?" she asked, irritated at me. I put on a faint smile and put my hand on her shoulder.

"Nee-chan, you shouldn't act so distant with Tidus." I told her. She glared at me and I flinched a little. I still kept my smile on my face as I hugged her. "It's alright nee-chan. It's alright." I whispered to her as I closed my eyes and hugged her tighter. She surprised me when she hugged me back. We stayed like that for a while, then let go as we began to talk with other things.

"So….how was your day at school?" she asked me as she leaned against the crates.

"It was great! William was making a fool of himself during lunch time! Also, Yumi and Keiko made me sing, so I had to sing in front of my friends and-" I stopped on what I was saying as I turned to see Kita-neechan's face. She looked irritated and annoyed. "Nee-chan I'm sor-" she cut me off.

"No, it's fine. I asked you." she replied.

All of a sudden, we heard someone's footsteps approaching us.

Kita's POV:

We both turned to see a blonde Al Bhed walking over to us.

"Rammu bnehlaccac!" He said.

Carmina looked at me with a look that said she was confused.

"Cra tuach'd ghuf ruf du cbayg Ym Prat pmuhtea."

"Oh, well then. Hello princesses! Im Gippal." He said.

Carmina turned to him and smiled "Im Carmina and this is Kita-neechan!"

He smiled then he turned to me staring at my ears and tail. I glared at him and walked over to the edge of the ship. He turned back to Mina and i heard him mutter "What's her problem?"

"I wouldn't tell you even if i could. Oh and is there anywhere i can have a shower?" Mina said to him.

"Yeah. Follow me but does your... friend want one?" He asked

"Two things. One, she is my sister and two, she probably doesn't i think she would rather just be alone." Mina said.

I zoned out after that watching the waves and then Tidus popped out of the water and i jumped back as he climbed onto the ship. I ignored the Al Bhed and turned to Tidus just as he said "Uhh..hungry."

Rikku came over and kicked him in the shoulder placing a tray of food on the floor beside him then walking over to Mina who must've just come out of the shower and giving her food and walking over to me handing me a tray which i gave to Tidus because i knew i wasnt going to eat it.

'Whoa, right on!" (Five guesses who that was.)

He scarfed down the food so fast he started choking and grabs Rikku's water and drinks it quickly. I giggle slightly and he turns to glare at me when i give him the ultimate death glare. He quickly turned away and started talking to Rikku. I smirked to myself as he decided to come over and find out what my problem was.

"Hey! What's your problem?" He said and then everyone turned to see what was going on.

"Nothing. Unless you haven't realized my obvious hatred for you." I said to him smirking.

"I figured that out but why? Why do you hate me?"

"Because i don't like idiots like you."

"Are you calling me an idiot?"

"That's exactly what im calling you. Now would you please go away."

"Fine." He said childishly.

Mina walked over to me and put her hand on my shoulder and wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug i froze for a second and then hugged her back but winced because she was grabbing my arms. She realized this and pulled away quickly muttering "Sorry Nee-chan!" before walking over to Tidus and then grabbing him into a hug trying to make him feel better. Then the ship started shaking.

"SIN!"

"SIN ec lusa!"

"Ihtan ic! Ithan ic!"

Tidus grabbed Mina and I and pulled us over with him and the last thing Tidus heard was me shouting at him "Yccruma!"
