Song's End

Ishie-poo doesn't own FFX! ;_; oh well………

Heydo! Ishie-poo here! :P I'm out of my writing break……… thingy and am attempting to write something in the first……… 3 weeks or so? Sorry about taking so long. ^_^; I've had 4 of my fics removed for totally invalid reasons so; I'm trying to start over. I might even change my name because someone's out to get me or something……… well, enjoy!

****~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~****

It's been about 4 months since we defeated Sin, and Yunie is still a little sad………we all are. People are a little less freaked out by us Al Bhed and Lulu and Wakka are getting along better. Auron and Tidus are both gone and everyone misses them. Even Kimahri……… I think. And as for me……… well, I like to keep my memories inside, exactly the same as before. And Yuna noticed that those weird faith statue things have turned into stone……… creepy, right? Oh yeah, all the maesters have suddenly disappeared and the temple seems to be a little better now that they're gone.

A lot has changed, but a lot hasn't……… are you still following me? The Luca Goers still hate the Besaid Aurochs for beating them at blitzball, and Lulu and Wakka still have their occasional row. It's not as often now as before though. Kimahri is still as hard as ever to figure out and I'm still the overly cheerful one.

Everyone else is adapting quickly except for us 5……… or 4; who knows what Kimahri thinks about all this. Everyone's working to rebuild the cities and are much more cheerful. The Ronso are gone, but everyone has learned from them. Everything is as it should be.

****~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~****

"Rikku?" Someone called out my name from their spot near the fire in Besaid.

"Yeah? What is it Yunie?" I had called back with my usual cheerfulness, trying to make Yuna smile.

And as usual……… it didn't work.

"……… never mind."

This was just slightly confusing to me and I said just that but my only response was from Lulu that I was always confused. After this, I decided to keep quiet to avoid any more insults.

For a few more minutes we all just sat there by the fire talking quietly or looking up at the stars or, in my case, listening in on the villagers conversations. After about a boring hour of listening to old ladies talking about how convenient shopping in Kilika was Yuna bade us goodnight and simply left to the Crusaders hut that had been turned into a sort of inn.

"Lulu?" I decided to see if she would bite my head off before asking my question.

"What?" She looks at me as if I just called her something foul.

"Well uh……… heheh, have you noticed anything wrong with Yunie lately? She's been………" I started, unsure of what words I could get away with alive.

"Quiet, withdrawn, anti-social?" Wakka offers only to get a look that would freeze fire. "I'll be quiet."

"Yeah that was what I meant."

Lulu just sighed and looked at me as if I didn't have a brain……… or was maybe plotting a way to remove my brain, either one. "Just leave her alone Rikku." Was all the answer I got.

****~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~****

After I woke up and got ready for the trip to Kilika I looked around for Yuna or Lulu or anyone. I ended up finding Kimahri, but he was no help, so I simply waited on the dock with my feet swinging back and forth in the water. After waiting for a while everyone showed up and we set off to Kilika for some reason or another.

"Lulu why are we bothering with this trip anyway?" I immediately winced after that came out of my mouth. It sounded like I was whining.

"Do you have anything better to do with your time?" Ouch……… that burnt.

"Not really."

Lulu sighed and looked at me with those creepy red eyes, "Then you don't need to know."

Rule number 1: Do not whine in front of the queen of ice.

After that I decided to go look for Yuna for the umpteenth time in the last few months……… I failed once again. So for the remainder of the trip I just sat back and got some rest until we reached Kilika for Lulu's possibly evil intentions.

****~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~*~/~****

I woke up with a random jolt of the ship and decided to stumble out onto the deck to pester Lulu about the usual: "Are we there yet?" and "I'm hungry." I did this until Lulu looked like she would blow up the ship if I said another word to her. So I turn around to go to the upper deck and I literally run into the person I'd been chasing to the desert and back.

"Hey Yunie. You feeling ok? You don't look all that great." I jump from one topic to the next smiling like no tomorrow.

Yuna showed one of her now rare smiles and assured me that she was fine, but she still looked like she was going to throw her cookies so I followed her around for the rest of the trip.

When we finally reached the dock I literally jumped out of the ship. How could Yuna stand to talk with such boring people for hours at a time? It just wasn't natural.

"So Yuna, why are we here?"

hee hee! I actually wrote a chapter in one sitting……… I'm so proud of myself! Anyway this isn't the best I've written and it's not totally random like almost everything else I've written before. I blame boredom!!! I've always hated summer break after the first few weeks. BORING! Well, if you did like my totally un-randomness I'll try to update before Saturday because I'm going to Hawaii for a week. I gotta go because we're seeing a movie in like half an hour and I'm not out of my pj's yet!

Prozac!
