Erin stared over the railing out at the cloudless sky. The sun was just starting to rise when she
heard a noise behind her.
"Good morning, Erin," a voice said, one Erin recognized instantly as Gogo's.
"Same to you," she returned.
"The sunrise sure is pretty," Gogo commented, nodding in the direction Erin was looking.
"It's been a while since you've seen one, hasn't it?" Erin asked, and then instantly realized what
she had said was wrong. "Oops, I'm so sorry."
"No need to be sorry, you did nothing wrong. Yes, it's been several years now that I think of it,"
Gogo said.
"I have to ask you... Why did you decide to help us? I know what you said last night but... I don't
know," Erin asked, knowing that she was just trying to make conversation.
"It's hard to explain, young one," the person replied. Erin sighed, brushed back a lose strand of
hair, and decided that it was time to end the conversation. She knew she wasn't going to get an
answer but it had been worth a try. Heading for the stairs, Gogo asked her something. "Might I
ask why you are here, at such a young age?"
All Erin decided to reply with was, "I can't say why I'm here, sorry," before running down below
deck, leaving Gogo alone. Erin was only alone for a short time before she ran into Harry. "What
are you doing up so early?" the girl questioned.
"Couldn't sleep," he responded, stretching. "Do you have any clue as to what we are doing next?"
"You probably know as much as me," she sighed, tapping her foot on the floor. "Anyone else
up?"
"Not that I know of."
The two were silent for several minutes. The silence was finally broken by footsteps just a few
feet away. They looked up just as a door opened. Locke leaned against the doorway and looked at
the two kids. "Morning."
"Same to you," Harry replied. "So, what are we doing today?"
"I don't even know," he laughed. "Maybe we are just going to wander around. Maybe someone
has plans. It's hard to say." They went silent for a little bit, just waiting for someone to say
something. Just waiting for something to even happen.
The silence was broken by talking coming from Edgar and Sabin who were walking their way.
They watched them talk, just curious about what they are talking about. "Hey guys!" Locke
shouted to them.
"Hey," Edgar replied.
"You guys have any plans?" Locke questioned.
"Well I was hoping maybe we could try and find my trainer, Duncan," Sabin suggested.
"That works," Locke said. "Anyone want to go start up the ship?"
"I can," Harry answered, and headed upstairs. Erin stared down at the ground and kicked her feet,
not knowing what to say.
"So... you going to bring anyone along with you?" Erin wondered.
"I was planning on asking some of the guys," Sabin replied.
"Oh..." she kicked the floor lightly, still staring down the hall.
"Why, did you want to come along or something?" Sabin asked the girl.
"No, was just wondering, that's all." She saw a figure appear down the hall talking to someone.
Erin shook her head, as if to answer something that had been said, and slowly walked away from
the others. She went down to the sitting area and hoped that Relm was up.
Sitting down on one of the couches, she looked over at where Relm was. She was still fast
asleep, giving Erin no one to talk to. The airship was quiet, except for the muffled drone of the
engine and muffled footsteps above her. Relm stirred in her sleep as Erin heard someone walk
down the stairs.
"We're going to head out and find Duncan's house. We should be back in a bit," Sabin said.
"Yeah, okay," was all Erin replied with.
The airship was quiet for another half hour, even the drone of the engine disappearing.
Eventually, voices could be heard up on the deck. It almost sounded, from what Erin could tell,
someone was bragging about something. Erin got up from her seat and went to go find out what
was going on.
"So I'm guessing you guys found Duncan?" Erin asked, looking at the group.
"Yeah we did," Sabin answered. "Master Duncan still has that little spark going."
"So um... What now?" Erin asked.
"Well, apparently the Opera House is still here. Maybe we should stop by for a visit," Locke
suggested.
"Fine by me," Erin said. Setzer went back upstairs to start up the airship again and find the Opera
house.Everyone else just mingled around, waiting. Finally, the airship stopped, and they
regrouped.
"So who all wants to go down and check?" Terra asked, looking around.
"I was thinking Erin, Celes, Gogo, Relm, and myself," Locke suggested from the other side of the
ship. "That okay with everyone?" In unison, everyone agreed to the plan. Setzer started up the
airship again and they went to go try and find the Opera House.
After what felt like forever searching, they finally found their goal and landed outside. The group
went into the building, found no one in the main foyer, so they decided to head for the balcony.
As they walked closer to the edge of the balcony, a large monster started to come into the view.
Also standing there on the balcony was the Impresario.
"Oh my! We can't have a show like this! That monster must be defeated!" the Impresario
exclaimed.
"So how can we get down to the stage?" Locke asked, frowning slightly.
"There is a switch room. Hit the switch second from the right and this will bring you directly to
the stage. Please hurry! The Opera House must not be destroyed!" the Impresario explained.
They followed the orders, Locke obviously knowing where to go from the last visit. Locke hit the
switch and the floor opened up beneath them. A roar could be heard right behind them. They all
looked behind them to find a large, brown, dinosaur staring right at them. The monster took a
step and everything around them shook for several seconds.
"Anybody know Float?" Gogo asked. "This dragon is earth based. Any earth type move he uses
could easily knock us out. It won't completely help, but it reduces how much we have to heal by a
lot."
"How did you find that out?" Celes wondered.
"I copied someone's Scan," Gogo replied, looking over at Erin who just turned away from him.
"And it would appear that same person happens to know Float." Erin blushed as she quickly cast
the spell on the party.
The dragon stared right at the person who had cast Float and took a swipe at her, but she dodged
it. "I've got healing guys, just keep me covered please."
"Can do," Locke replied as he ran in to take a swipe at the monster with his while attempting to
steal. Celes soon followed with an attack with her sword, right after Gogo mimicked Locke. The
battle went on like the for awhile until the dragon finally started to show a break down.
"He's almost dead guys, kill him NOW!" Gogo ordered, using a mimic of one of Edgar's abilities.
After about ten more minutes, the dragon finally fell to the ground. Due to the extra stress from
the weight, the floor snapped under the dragon and it fell even further.
"Thank you oh so very much!" the Impresario said joyfully, running up to the group. "The Opera
House doesn't have to close after all!"
The four left, after waiting for the Impresario to say thank you over and over again. As they
exited the door, Erin looked back at the building, frowned, and then continued towards the
airship.
"So, what now?" Locke asked as they boarded the ship.
"I'd like to make a stop somewhere," Celes suggested. "It would only take a minute."
"Okay by me," Setzer said, once again starting the airship up. Erin looked over at her mom, at
Celes, wondering where she wanted to stop and then it hit her where. "You can tell me where to
stop, ok?"
"Yeah," Celes replied, watching the world beneath her. They were passing over water and then
passed over a small island... "Setzer, stop here." Setzer seemed confused that she would want to
stop on this tiny island, but he didn't question her. The ship landed and Celes got off. Erin ran
after her and soon found her outside a one-room building.
Erin watched her in silence as the former general went up to the door, placed her hand on the
door knob, and then removed it. She followed Celes down the beach where she saw something
shining there. Erin went to pick it up and examined it. "Mom.. it's an Esper." She handed it over
to her mom and watched her.
"We should go, its getting dark out anyway," Celes said quickly, walking back to the airship. Erin
frowned, but didn't question and just decided to once again follow. The two boarded the airship
and Celes immediately went downstairs.
"What happened, Erin?" Strago asked, looking at the child.
"I honestly don't know myself. All I know is that we found an esper on the beach..." Erin frowned
again, and decided to head downstairs herself. She went to the sitting area to think quietly.
Everyone else soon followed, knowing that there would be another long day ahead of them.
Erin's eyes followed Relm as she went over to the other couch and sat down. She sighed and
decided to get some sleep.

A/N: Wow, this chapter only took forever to complete. Sorry about the huge delay, I've been
playing Final Fantasy 11 for awhile now, and I've also had no inspiration to even write the story.
Hopefully Chapter 52 won't take near as long to get done!
