I stopped walking for a moment. I was at the point where summoners would pray before going on their pilgrimage and the path going south of me lead to the Besaid village. I looked over the high cliff to the horizon and the sun was beginning its descent, making the sky turn a reddish-orange color. Seeing that, I turned around and started walking down the path to the village.

[Ms.Croft]

I began walking back to town, and completely forgot about the groceries for my Mom. "Wow, Lulu," I turned to Yuna, "Do you think she'll like me? She's probably..she is the best spell caster in the world, and I'm still a rookie. I don't want to disappoint anyone in her proffesion." I looked to the floor, "My Mom hates me for that. I was meant to be a perfect housewife especially after she lost Dad to Sin, and my Brother. My Dad was a White Mage..the best in Besaid apparentely, but he died protecting the villagers of Kilika." A tear slid down my face. "My Mom never wanted me to practice magic and get myself killed, I'm the only one left...but she suffocated me and forced me to do this..to be a black mage, to be a white mage, to crave adventure! I wanted to avenge my father, and my brother," I stopped and looked back to Yuna smiling, "But you did that Yuna, you and your guardian's. You avenged his death and that is why I have so much respect for you all..why I want to be like you." More tears slid down my face as I looked at her smiling, I'd never been so happy to see her in my life.

[Morph]

I pulled the girl into hug and patted her on the back "Lulu will love you, and, don't worry, we wouldn't let anything happen to you" I noticed the bag that Tetsuna was carrying as we walked back to the village. Groceries "Groceries? For your mother?" I asked.

[Ms.Croft]

Yuna hugged me back, she put so much love into her hugs, and yet she had only known me for a short while. This is why the villager had so much respect for her I guess, afterall she was the one who saved the world.

"Lulu will love you, and, don't worry, we wouldn't let anything happen to you"

I wiped away my tears and conposed myself, looking at her. "You think so? Lulu?" I giggled looking towards the village. Yuna led me towards the village and stood close to me. "I know you wouldn't let anything happen to me, you're the best afterall!" I smiled

"Groceries? For your mother?"

I looked to my bag, "Yes! I completely forgot about them...oh man..that means I can't come to dinner with you guys..."

(OOC:She may seem sweet now, but just wait till she goes on the adventure)

Rikku watched as the girl ran off. She smiled and looked at the guy behind the counter. "Oh she is soo cute..." Rikku said not knowing the girl was a bit older than herself. Rikku continued looking in the store. "Ugh, what do I get Yunnie?" Rikku whined as she looked through the jewery and other assesories. Rikku then noticed it was getting dark. "Ohhhhhhh.... Nooooo... It's getting dark," She piered down and looked at all the stuff. "Okay, what do we have here?" Rikku skimmed the assesories. "Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, Sl--... SLIPPERS!" Rikku yelled out. A crowd of people stopped what they were doing and looked at her. "I mean... Ummm..." Rikku then looked at the people. "Slippers," She whispered. Rikki grabbed the slippers that had little cukaboos on them and raced to the counter.

[Morph]

(Did you mean Chocobos, EXP?)

"Yes! I completely forgot about them...oh man..that means I can't come to dinner with you guys..."

Tetsuna looked upset again. "I'll come with you, and I'll ask for you, if you like. Of course, your mother is welcome aswell".

We began walking towards where Tetsuna lived. Past the shop and....

"SLIPPERS!"

I looked over at the shop entrance "That sounded like...Rikku" I said as I walked over and entered the shop. It was "RIKKU!" I yelled, getting strange looks "Oops. Sorry" I whispered and made my way over to Rikku as Tetsuna followed me. I gave Rikku a big hug.

"It's so good to see you! You have to come to dinner. My place. I'll see you soon, I just have to do something" I finished as I walked back out of the shop, with Tetsuna just in front, leading the way to her home.

[Ms.Croft]

As we walked through the village, we could spot various shops and stalls around, 2 year olds frollicking since the worries of Sin had passed. Yes, the eternal calm had come, and everyone was enjoying it. I looked to Yuna with a slight guilty expression, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Rikku, I met her earlier and completely forgot about telling you," I said, looking around the villages, with their huts. I liked growing up here, it really was a magical place, but it was just so dull, there was no adventure, a part from a few monsters down the path outside of the village, but still they were fairly weak. We walked around the corner towards some more huts, and my mother's was among them. I stopped short of the door and sighed. "Well, I guess it's now or never. Be prepared Yuna..." I took another step forward and stopped turning around, "She's not a bad woman I guess, she's just way too overprotective...you know, maybe we should come back later!"

[Blade]

I walked into Besaid village, looking for Wakka and Lulu's hut. A few villagers were about outside, and a few kids running about. As I got closer to the hut, I heard someone say "Sir Auron?" I paused to find who said that, but I kept on. I heard it again "Sir Auron?" I stopped and there was a boy a few feet away, was he the one saying that. I walked over to the boy and then one of the adults came out of their hut, then another and so on around the village. Seeing as I was in the middle of the village, the villagers came closer to get a better look. When they got a couple feet away I heard one say "Its really him, it is Sir Auron!!" they all were amazed to see me, and started talking amongst themselves. It was then I heard "Hey, what's all the ruckus out here ya?" I knew that voice. I could see Wakka outside his hut, and he looked like he just woke up. Wakka came walking out to the crowd of people to see what was going on and he didn't have to get too close to see "Praise be to Yevon!!" he exclaimed "Sir Auron!!" he ran back to his hut "Hey Lu!! You won't believe who's out here."

[Gabbi]

((OOC: Ya thats the think Morph... LOL my bad!... BIC))

RIKKU!

Rikku turned to see Yuna. "Yunnie!" Rikku grabbed the bag and dropped the gil on the counter. She rushed towards Yuna and gave her a big hug as she recieved one back.

It's so good to see you! You have to come to dinner. My place. I'll see you soon, I just have to do something

"Umm... Uh... Okay," Was all Rikku could get out before Yuna had left. Rikku watched as the two walked away. Hey... Is that the girl I met previously? Rikku wondered as she twisted a piece of hair with her finger. She then realized that she had forgot to give Yuna the slippers. "Oh darn!" Rikku turned around and grabbed a decorative bag and bought it.

[Ms.Croft]

I could suddenly hear loads of shouts and ruckus behind me. I peered over Yuna's shoulder and looked at a large crowd gathering. Was that the guy I met earlier, Auron?

"What is with all the ruckus out--" I turned around at the sound of the voice. In the doorway, my Mom stood staring at me, and then to Yuna. "Lilly, what are you doing out here? I've been worried sick for ages!"

"Mom!! It's not Lilly, it's Tetsuna!" I shouted back with my fist tightening around the grocery bag.

"No! It's your Brother's middle name, you need to let go of the past!" She spat back, with fury in her eyes. I stared to the floor, and replied,

"So do you. You need to let go of the fact that people die Mom...that people need to let go of their past, and look for the future. I can't be a housewife Mom, I need to grow, I need to be a black mage, and a good White Mage--just like Dad!" My mother's eyes began to fill with fluid and she entered the house again. I looked to Yuna, "My name is Tetsuna really, my middle name is Lilly, but my father called me Lilly all the time anyhow. They named me after his middle name, she just can't let it go." I smiled at Yuna, and then my mother came back with a smile on her face, and tears beneath her eyes.

"I knew this day would come Lilly," My face contored at the name she said, "I knew it...and that's why I'm giving you this..." She handed me a grid with various indentations in it. I looked at Yuna, "What is this?" And then looked back to the grid. My finger approached an indent, and suddenly my body surrounded itself in feathers. I was lifted to the air and then drifted back down again, as my clothes transformed. I was dressed in white.

"This was your father's attire, I managed to salvage it before they embalmed his body..." My mother stated as I looked at myself. "Tetsuna," I looked at her straight in the eyes as she called me by my name, "Please, travel. Do what your father couldn't do, and become strong just incase we ever need your help here." I smiled at my mother.

"Thank you...Mom....Oh! That's right! This is Yuna," I gestured towards her, "And she wanted to ask you something!" I pushed her towards my mother.

[Morph]

I couldn't help but smile at the scene playing out before me. Tetsuna's Father had a Garment Grid aswell. As far as I'd seen though, it only had White Mage so far. Her Mother telling her to travel.

Suddenly, I was nudged forward by Tetsuna, and gasped slighty. I didn't expect that.

"Oh! That's right! This is Yuna...and she wanted to ask you something!"

I smiled at her Mother "I'm Yuna. Nice to meet you. I was wondering if you and Tetsuna would like to have dinner at my place tonight? My friends Wakka, Lulu, Auron and Rikku will be there".

[Blade]

After standing in the middle of the crowd of villagers, I walked straight ahead and that seemed to quiet them. When I got near some of the villagers, they parted and let me walk on through. By this time Lulu had come out of the hut, holding a baby. Wakka came back up to me "I can't believe your back." he said. I was still looking at Lulu with the baby held in her arms, Wakka was walking with me now "Oh yeah, me and Lu got married. But you wouldn't know about that, since you were sent to the Farplane 2 years ago." he paused and then said "Which I have to ask you, why are you back?" by this time we had got to his hut and we were inside. After I sat down, I then told Wakka "Something wasn't right in the Farplane. I sensed that someone else had left it and I had to come back and find out who that was." Wakka then replied "That doesn't sound good at all. But its good to see you back though. By the way, did you see Yuna?" I replied "I saw her. Something about her has changed." Wakka replied "Ya, she's changed. I think if we all got together over dinner then she could tell you about what's happened these past two years." I then replied "I guess I will stay for dinner."

[Ms.Croft]

"No, thank you High Summoner Yuna," I looked at Mom embarrased,

"Mom...call her Yuna!" She placed a cupped hand over her mouth and smiled.

"I apologize...Yuna. I'm going to prepare myself a meal with the ingredients Tetsuna brought me, but please, by all means take Tetsuna with you." I scowled and placed a hand on my hip.

"Gees Mom, you don't have to sound too enthusiastic!" My Mother giggled at this.

"Ok!" I turned to Yuna, "Let's go! See ya later Mom!" With that I changed myself back to my black mage outfit. "Gotta make an impression on Lulu, right?" I giggled waving goodbye to my Mom. I then nodded to Yuna, giving her the go to move ahead.

[Morph]

"Goodbye" I said to Tetsuna's mother.

I turned and began walking to where Lulu, Wakka and their son, Vidina lived.

"Just a second, Tetsuna. I'll just tell them to come over shortly".

I stepped through their doorway "Hey guys" I said to them and then noticed that Auron was here aswell "Sir Auron" I nodded to him.

"I'm just in to say dinner will be ready in half an hour. There will be two other guests aswell, Rikku and another girl. She really wants to meet you, Lulu" I laughed a little a Lulu's confused expression "Well, see you all then" I waved and stepped back outside.

"Let's go" I said to Tetsuna and began running in the direction of the temple. My home was near there. I had it put together just after I had arrived back at Besaid.

We reached my home "Welcome to my home, Tetsuna" I said as she came inside. My home was slighty larger than most others. About two metres inside the door, was the table. It had enough tables around it for everyone. There's another section at the back, which is where my bed is. To the left from the entrance was an area for cooking, and on the right was a sphere screen (Like a TV). Another of Shinra's inventions.

"Would you mind giving me a hand with the cooking? I prepared most of it before I went to the beach" I said as I opened the new thing, called a 'Cool Box' (Fridge. Creative I know, lol) and removed the freshly cut fish. Then I grabbed the vegetables and placed them on the chopping board.

"Could you cut the spuds into strips please? I'll make chips with those" I asked Tetsuna as I began chopping the other vegies.

Once we were done preparing it, I began cooking it all.

[Blade]

Just as Yuna left after announcing when dinner would be ready, that was when I heard the baby cry. Wakka stood up "I know what time it is for my son." and I stood up with him, me and Wakka walked outside the hut and I placed my Masamune (yes the Masamune, the most powerful weapon Auron could get in the game) by the entrance of the hut. Wakka looked at the sword "Wow, I never got this close to really looking at that sword you carry." he reached for it and looked at me "May I?" I let out a "Hmph." and Wakka tried to pick up and hold the huge sword, he fell over instantly and the sword made a loud "clank" on the ground. I laughed at Wakka briefly and picked up my sword easily and held it out "I remember you saying something about leaving things to the experts. This is what I'm an expert in." Wakka got up and dusted himself off "Oh I did say that once ya. Your right, I shouldn't of even tried to even handle that sword." he picked up his blitzball "Well there's still time before dinner, I'm going down to the beach and kick the blitzball around." he ran off to the beach. I decided to head over to Yuna's place, and see how things were going.

[Ms.Croft]

I cut the potatoes up, or 'spuds' as Yuna liked to call them into strips like she said. I guess I did learn one or two things from my mother, and cooking was one of them. I cut the spuds with ease and laid them out in front of Yuna. She than began cooking it.

"You're a great cook Yuna, I never knew that." I smiled at her as she waited for the water to boil. "Here, let me help!" I didn't need my stick for small fires like this. I pointed the tip of my nail polished fingers to the bottom of the pan. My mind concentrated on the pan, and eventually it began bubbling almost immeadiately. "Woo, I am useful for some things!" I giggled. "Do you mind if I look around?" She seemed enthralled in the cooking and gave a slight nod of her head. I went to the back of her house, to where her bed was. Surrounding her bed, were dozens of decorations, like spheres, pictures and one of a man I remember being here two years previously. "Yuna," I turned to her, "Who is this?" I said pointing to the blonde headed man in the picture.

[Morph]

(Haha. You had to do that didn't you? lol)

I looked over my shoulder and saw the picture she was holding "He...he was one of my guardians, two years ago" I finished with a small sigh.

I heard a knock "Come in" I called. Sir Auron walked in "Sir Auron, you're a little early" I laughed "Make yourself at home".

Around ten minutes later, I had finished cooking everything.

"Okay, I'll be back in a second" I said as I ran to my room, then into the small bathroom which was also in there. I had to clean myself up a little. A dash of perfume, and something different to wear. I quickly looked at my Garment Grid and picked the Songstress Dressphere. I came back out to the main area of the house and began putting the food on the plates.

Suddenly, another knock came at the door "Come in" I called once more, and Wakka, Lulu and Vidina came inside. Rikku ran inside just after them.

"Right on time. I just finished cooking" I said as everyone sat around the table. I served up the last plate and served them all around, before I sat down myself "Everyone. This is Tetsuna. She's learning Black and White magic. And she's really good at it" I smiled to her "Tetsuna. This is Sir Auron, Rikku, Wakka, Lulu and their son, Vidina" I pointed to each of them as I said their names.

I noticed Yuna sighing..was this guy important to her? Was he still around?

"Hello!" I said to each one in turn. After Yuna had anounced everyone's name, I looked to Lulu. "I must say, it is an honour to meet you Lulu. I've followed your work for a long time, and I aspire to be every bit like you!" I said smiling at her, I then looked to the baby, "Wakka, the baby looks just like you!" I finished smiling. "Sir Auron, it's a pleasure to meet you too, afterall, you are one of the best guardian's I've heard of. Rikku, your up-beat nature just makes me smile, I can see that this group needed you!" They all looked at me as if I were making some sort of TV special. "So..umm...."

[Morph]

"So..umm...."

"Uh...Sir Auron, I have to ask. Do you have any idea of who it might have been that left the Farplane?" I asked as I began slicing my piece of fish.

[Ms.Croft]

"Uh...Sir Auron, I have to ask. Do you have any idea of who it might have been that left the Farplane?"

I began choking on a chip I was eating. "Someone," I coughed, "Left the Farplane!? How?! They'd have to be immensely strong! I mean mega strong!! Unless the Fayth permitted them to leave, but why would they do that..unless..." I trailed off looking at the food on my plate, I allowed myself to calm, allowing the smells of the food drift into my nose. I steadied myself and stared into Sir Auron's eyes. "Who was it Sir Auron, I realise now that you left the Farplane. How did you do it in the first place?"

[Morph]

I looked at Tetsuna, a confused expression on my face "Unless what, Tetsuna?" I waited calmly for Tetsuna's and Sir Auron's responses.

[Gabbi]

*** Before dinner ***

Rikku raced to Yuna's for dinner. "Oh no I am going to be late!" Riiku whined looking in the distance at Yuna's place. As she continued running she noticed Wakka and Lulu entering. "Oh good... Not totally late," She then got close and yelled. "Wakka!" She dove into Yuna's after him. She stopped to catch her breath. Once caught she sat down beside Wakka.

*** Present ***

"Ohhh... You a daddy now," Rikku said nudging her elbow. She looked over at the girl.

Tetsuna. This is Sir Auron, Rikku, Wakka, Lulu and their son, Vidina

"I think we met in the market did we not?" Rikku asked with a smile but did not wait for an answer as she remembered the present for Yuna. "Oh yeah! I almost forgot! Yunnie I got you something!" Rikku pulled out the present that was covered in pink and blue gift wrap and passed it to Yuna.

[Ms.Croft]

"Unless what, Tetsuna?"

I looked over to Rikku, she was handing Yuna some slippers, then I looked at Yuna, and then to Sir Auron. "Unless....no, let me start from the beginning!" I said standing up, looking around the table. "A few months ago, 8 to be exact. I was reading up on Black Mage magic because I obviously wanted to learn more about it, oh Lulu," I looked to her, "You may know about this. I read in one book, I think it was called 'The Black Arts' and actually had very little to do with Black Mage skills, however, I read on anyhow." I placed my hands on the table and leant forward towards the group. "It is said, that those who have done great deeds in their life, may return to Spira for a short period of time. I don't know what this period of time is of course, but they return with their full human powers etc. Normally though, this gift is only granted to people who are basicly like Gods, who have done very little wrong in their life, or have done one huge great deed to Spira." As I told the story, I looked at each one of their faces ane eventually rested on Auron's. "Did this happen to you?"

Edited January 23, 2007 by Ms.Croft

[Morph]

I listened to what Tetsuna was saying as I opened what Rikku had given me. It was a pair of Chocobo slippers! "Oh, Rikku! You really didn't have to. But, thankyou, I love them!" I said and gave her a hug.

When Tetsuna had finished talking I though about who it might have been. "If it was someone powerful who had done a good deed, then there shouldn't be any problem. But, why am I so worried about this?".

"Yuna...".

"Hmm, somebody say my name?" I asked as I looked up. Everyone shook their heads.

"Yuna..." I held my head "Yuna...come to us"

I realised that I probably looked stupid holding my head like that, so I picked up my plate and took it over to the sink. I stumbled a little and held my head again. "Why do I feel so dizzy all of a sudden?".

I walked back over to the table and sat down, still feeling a little dizzy.

[Blade]

Right as I was about to respond to Tetsuna's question, I saw Yuna coming back to the table and almost falling down, she got back to her seat though. I looked over at her "Are you alright Yuna?" she looked up at me "I got dizzy just now over at the sink. I don't know what caused me to feel dizzy either. But don't let me stop what you were about to say Sir Auron."

I turned my attention to Tetsuna and after taking a drink of water, I answered her question "It could be possible I may have been given this chance to return, as you spoke of. I did serve as a guardian to Yuna's father, Lord Braska. When I was in the Farplane the spirits of the people that were sent there before me, they all float about of course. But what made me come back was something I hadn't seen before, all the spirits were being brought together in one spot. I got pulled into it myself, but when it was over I was out of the Farplane." I paused for a moment and then said "I think Seymour may have returned."
