Notes: The last chapter was just kind of a crappy prologue, and I wanted to see if people would be interested. I said if I got ONE reviewer, I'd continue, and I got one, so… Here it is.
Thanks to my reviewer! :)
Chapter One, Day One:
"Yuna, I'm getting huge wave signals from the Zanarkand Ruins. The Oscillo-Finder is going crazy! We'd better get down there fast." Buddy fiddled with the switches on his control panel as he relayed the news. Finally, a mission! I thought flying around was all these Gullwings did.
"Everyone ready?" Yuna psyched up the team, doing as best as she could to be a good leader.
"Y… R… P, ready to go! I bet there's gonna be some great fiend ass to kick down there!" I just grunted awkwardly as Rikku pumped her fists into the air. Seriously, can't this girl ever sit still? She didn't even notice her new teammate standing right next to her… not that she ever did. Paine just chuckled, and Yuna glanced at me awkwardly.
"I think you're forgetting someone, Rikku." Paine walked to the ship's exit with her sword, and jumped out, landing on the dirt below. Rikku froze and slowly turned her gaze toward me. Huh… I guess she can stay still. When she giggled, It started me up, too. Seriously. It was hilarious, her standing there, grabbing my hands in hers and shaking them up and down, apologizing nonstop. It was like watching a six year old apologize for breaking a lamp.
"I'm sorry, Tidus! Really! It's just that, you know, you've been gone so long and I'm just used to YRP, you know, and you were just standing there quietly, and I didn't notice you, and I'm really sorry, you know, and… Hey, why are you laughing?" She made a pouty face at me as I giggled. It was so cute, the way her lips stuck out when she got frustrated. I'd often tease Rikku just to see that face. I tussled her hair and followed Paine out of the airship.
"H- Hey, wait up!" Rikku shortly ran after me, and Yuna followed suit.
Yuna stared fixedly at Tidus and Rikku. What was this strange feeling bubbling up inside her chest? It was the same when she watched that sphere of Shuyin where he mentioned needing to save Lenne. Was it… Jealousy? No way… Why would she be jealous? Rikku and Tidus were just playing around as they always did. So why was it eating away at her like this. Yuna had noticed the subtle flirting Rikku and Tidus did with each other from time to time, but she had just chosen to ignore it and pretend it was her imagination running wild. She had to admit, when Tidus tussled Rikku's hair like that earlier, she honestly wanted to push Rikku out of the way and feel his warm, tan hands on her head. She groaned and walked toward the team, rather gruffly.
"Okay guys, enough play. Let's go find ourselves a sphere!" Yuna spit out her words, feigning her happy demeanor, and walked towards the old temple.
