[Offline / Private]](http://images.Writing.Com/imgs/writing.com/writers/costumicons/ps-icon-regular-10.gif) More by this author "I'd like to stay with Yuna and Lulu." says Sora. Rikku casually says "Say no more, by the way just so you don't feel left out, how about a lift?" Confused by her words, Sora says "Huh?" Rikku extends her right hand's index finger and begins to say "I bet it was real difficult for both you and Lulu to get here, so how does a free ride to Besaid on the Celsius sound to you?" At hearing Rikku's offer Lulu says "That sounds rather nice." To agree with Lulu Sora says sounding excited as well as grateful "That's very nice of you, thanks a lot!" Rikku giggles a bit and says "Okay, the ship is parked away from here, it's huge red one, you can't miss it." Without saying anything else, Lulu with Sora on her hand begins to head out.
Noticing that Yuna isn't moving Rikku asks "Yunie are you okay?" Yuna simply remains silent making Rikku say in an attempt to cheer her up "Yuna, you need to relax. It'll be fine, trust me. Take this time to take a break and unwind a bit, you deserve it. I'll take care of all this." Taking Rikku's words into consideration Yuna says beginning to feel better at knowing all hope is not lost on the situation "You know, you're right." Smiling gently Rikku teases "Okay! Better hurry up or you'll miss your ride!" Gasping lightly Yuna gets the point as she heads towards the Celsius as Rikku follows her.
"Wow...."
Comes Sora from inside the ship. After seeing the outside of the colossal red ship and getting a look at the controls inside Sora says "This is amazing. I kinda wish I could pilot this myself."
"Well if you ever return back to normal I'll consider your request."
From behind them entering the control room is Rikku. Soon after Yuna enters the room wearing the same clothes she wore when Sora first met her. Her face shows that she's more stable and uplifted, no doubt a side effect of Rikku's little pep talk. Curious about how she's doing Sora asks "Hey Yuna, are you okay?" Yuna smiles a simple smile and says "Yeah, I'm feeling a little better now."
"Okay everyone, this will be a short trip so grab on to something!"
Without warning the ship starts up and Lulu feels herself moving to the side near the massive window of the airship. Yuna holds on to the chair and secures her seat belt so as to not be shaked around like crazy. The ship moves at an incredible velocity and from Sora's perspective as he holds on to Lulu's fingers all he can see is how massive pieces of land disappear from view only to be replaced by the seemingly endless ocean. Within moments, an island becomes visible. As the ship begins to decelerate, Sora realizes that this is Besaid island, their intended destination.
"Hope everybody enjoyed the flight, we'll be landing soon, and don't forget to grab your belongings!"
Comes Rikku who turns to look at the current state of her passengers. Seeing Yuna's head hanging low with a hand on her stomach and Lulu with a hand on her head makes Rikku go "Oops..." After several minutes gathering themselves, the group comes together at the ship's exit door to discuss certain matters. Yuna says "I think I'll wait outside. The fresh air will be feel nice." With that said, Yuna exits and heads towards the village which isn't far from where the ship landed. Before moving on, Rikku stops Lulu from exiting by going:
"Sora can I ask you a favor?"
"Huh? What's wrong?" asks a perplexed Sora sitting on Lulu's hand. Rikku takes a moment and says "Could you cheer Yuna up a bit?" Confused by her request Sora asks "What do you mean?" Rikku begins to explain sounding rather concerned "Ever since she failed to help you, Yuna's been feeling a bit down. She's feeling much better now, but I think I'd rest easier if Yuna knew that you're not holding anything against her." After a moment of silence, Rikku concludes her request by saying "Of course if you don't want to do it and you just want to stay with Lulu, that's fine too as you don't have to do this." Interrupting this request Lulu says sounding rather firm and sure of her words "Rikku, Yuna is much stronger than that. The way you're talking about her now, makes her seem as if she has a frail will when we know that's not the case." To address Lulu's point, Rikku says still with a tone of concern "Maybe I'm worrying too much about her but...I just can't help it."
Sora is faced with a bit of a dilemma. Though he knows in his heart that he has nothing against Yuna, it seems that Yuna could use a bit of uplifting coming from him. On the other hand, Lulu who without a doubt knows Yuna better than him seems to think that this request is unnecessary due to the long history that they no doubt share. As he thinks more and more, Sora reaches a conclusion as he decides to... Where will this story go next? Your choices are below...
