"Hmm back on Besaid again...maybe I can find Wakka and Lulu. Yeah that'd be nice. I'm sure they missed me like crazy. Well...who wouldn't? Wait...why am I talking to myself so much?" Rikku said as she made her way done to the beach. It was amazing how many words could come out of her mouh. Even when she didn't have anyone to talk to, she would just babble onto herself nonstop. And people thought that Rikku was annoying? Boy they just didn't know how to have a good time! The Al Bhed girl made her way down into the sand and the first thing that happened was her foot got caught in it, and she fell face down into the sand. Typical Rikku moment. Tripping and falling like this. She sat up and rubbed her head. "Owwie!" Rikku said in a whiney tone as she sat back up looking at the sand with a look of hatred.

"Stupid sand! Nobody loves you anyway." Rikku said and she gave it a light kick in the sand do to her random hatred toward it now. Only Rikku would be able to develop a hatred for an object like sand. She was VERY strange. Very few were as weird as her. She got back to her feet and managed to regain her balance and she stood back up. Rikku was always pretty much like this. It was hard to find her feeling any other emotion then happiness. You might see her sort of pissed about something but she'd jsut swing right back into happiness after another moment. She did feel sadness and loneliness from time to time as well.

For some reason she absolutely hated to be by herself. Myabe because she got bored with no one to annoy or maybe it had a deeper meaning then just her boredom. She didn't think about it that much. Eveyone always knew Rikku as happy and hyperactive and thats what she was. Also a bit weird from time to time. Actually very weird, but hey what does it matter. Rikku was Rikku and odds are that she would never change. Whether it be a random hatred for sand or spazzing out over seeing one of her friends, she was always being herself.

Water, Water, and more water. That's all that seemed to surround Tidus at the moment until his head came breaking from the surface with a cough for air. Blue eyes squinted up to the sky, his arms and legs moving to keep him floating. A blue sky, the soft breeze on his face. The sound of people talking not so far off. He turned his gaze away from the sky and directed it to the sound of voices.

There, he saw Besaid Island. A place where he was most familiar with. This was one of the first places he had sent out on a long journey. This was the place he met his friends. And once again, they was the place he woke up. Swimming forward, he slowly moved out onto the beach, clothes soaked from the water. Water dripping down his body before he quickly turned around, almost in a complete 360 degree.

Where the hell was everyone? He half expected to see Wakka and his team practicing Blitzball. But, all he saw were small kids playing in the distance making sand castles. He wet his lips and quickly made his way over to the kids but decided against it. How weird would it before some random guy to come rushing over to you, drenched from head to toe? He'd most likely scare the shit out of the kids. So, he stopped.

Sighing, he turned quickly on his heels towards the small village where Yuna once lived. Adrenaline pumping his veins. Was Yuna and everyone else there now? He couldn't wait to see everyone! How long had it been? He remembered going to the farplane, and then suddenly being called on by this goddess named Cosmo to fight his own damn to restore balance and harmony or whatever the hell the Goddess was the Goddess of! And then he remembered meeting tons of other heroes from other worlds he didn't even know friggin' existed!

And then suddenly, BAM! He was here in Besaid again! Snapping out of his thoughts.

"Stupid sand! Nobody loves you anyway."

He knew that voice! Turning his head, he looked in the direction it had come from and saw a certain blond hyperactive blond he knew very well.
Eyes widening and a broad smile crossing his face, he waved his hand up and waved calling out loudly.

"RIIKKKKKUUUUUU!!!" he yelled with his happy tone as he dropped his hand and quickly made his wave over, once again calling her name incase she hadn't heard him the first time.

Highly unlikely though.

As Rikku walked along the beach, she moved much slower this time due to the fact that the sand and her clumsiness had been her downfall last time. She really wasn't in much of a mood to get ANOTHER face full of sand. Ewwie! It was like when you had a sandwich and sand got in it only their was no yummy bologna to make it better. It was just full on sand in your mouth. She still had some from her fall and she did the most unladly like thing and she spit in the sand not noticing two young boys walk by. They blinked in confusion at the girl and lookes a bit disgusted. Rikku turned a bit pink in embarrassment and nodded her head in a very lame sort of way. She looked like such a loser and those boys were kind of cute. They walked away and she was pretty much hating herself for being such an idiot. But on the upside all of the sand had gotten out of her mouth. So it was a win and lose situation.

As she continued to walk on the beach she heard a splash in the ocean. She tunred her head looking, but saw nothing. Probably some kids swimming in the ocean. Or maybe a blitzball got caught off due to someone missing the catch. Well whatever it was, it caught her attention for the moment until she just looked away and ketp on walking. But then she heard someone call her name. She had a feeling she'd run into someone that she knew here. After all the only people she saw so far, had become disgusted in her. Oh yes Rikku was definitely a dream come true. Well she thought it that way. She saw someone coming towards her and when she made out who it was, she let out a small highpitched "eek!"

Her feet sprung up and she started to run. But since she was running in the sand, her feet would sink in the sand and get sort of caught in it. So she looked quite awkward at the moment but she was too eager to see her friend. Once close enough to him, she full on jumped her friend not being able to contain her excitement. It was friggin Tidus! How could she not? She hadn't seen him in ages. She clung onto him giving a really tight hug missing him like crazy. She missed all of her friends like crazy but Tidus seemed to stick with her a lot as far as missing him went.

"TIDUS! Dude! Its AWESOME to see you. I missed you. Did you miss me? When'd you get back? Are you glad to see me? Have you seen anyone else? Where were you? Did you know that I hate sand?" Rikku blabbed onvery quickly, obviously being excited.

Hearing the loud pitch "EEK" he knew immediately he was in for it. Eyes widening as Rikku came darting towards him and suddenly jumped at him. Tidus opened his arms wide in time in order to catch her but the force of her run, the way his feet sunk into the sand, and plainly, just from surprise caused the Blitzball player to stagger back quickly, arms wrapping around her in a hug to keep hold of Rikku but wasn't enough to keep himself on balance. He crashed back, the al bhed ontop of him and he groaned as she let out a series of questions that were enough to make his head spin more than it already was.

"TIDUS! Dude! Its AWESOME to see you. I missed you. Did you miss me? When'd you get back? Are you glad to see me? Have you seen anyone else? Where were you? Did you know that I hate sand?"

Arms dropping from around Rikku, he props himself up on his elbows and gives a simple good heart laugh of embarrassment. He rubs the back of his head, shaking some of the sand out from his wet locks and looks at Rikku with somewhat of a blush.

"Wow, Rikku. You haven't changed a bit..." Personality wise anyways. The Albhed had obviously gotten older, and she OBVIOUSLY decided to wear more revealing clothing. Coughing a bit in his hands to keep the blush from becoming more evident, Tidus sits up a bit more which causes Rikku to slide off him and onto his lap or legs. It was her choice what she decided to do.

"uh...Yeah, I missed you too, Rikku. I missed everyone. Uh..I just got back..I guess..now? Sure, I'm glad to see ya. Why wouldn't I be? No, I haven't seen anyone else. I was somewhere else. I dunno where I was and uh..wait..what else did you ask me?" he blinked now in confusion having tried to answer all her questions, he forgot what he was actually answering now.

Wakka sauntered out of his tent to catch some fresh air. It had been awhile since he had the time to rest and enjoy the sunshine on the Isle of Besaid. With his new responsibilities as a parent, he rarely had time for any leisure, to the point where it was driving him insane. His wife and son were sound asleep, so he thought it to be a prime time to go to his old hangout place: the beach.

He strolled down the path toward the beach, lost within his own thoughts and memories. He was reminded of his adventure a few years ago, during his time of being a guardian for his childhood friend Yuna. He was saddened at the thought of them; he had lost another friend after defeating Sin, their longtime punishment for a war of machina hundreds of years ago. Everyone else had appeared to be so busy or had responsibilities of their own. It had been about a year since he saw anyone from the pilgrimage.

He sighed. I miss them so much, ya?

Upon his arrival at the beach, he spotted quite a few children sculpting sand castles along the shoreline. This had been the site where he'd have his team practice all the time just a few years ago. In fact, during one of their practice sessions, he met a stranger who had washed up on the shore a few years ago. The kid showed great potential as a blitzer and instantaneously became very good friends with him.

He started making his way through the sand when all of a sudden something, or rather someone caught his eye. He froze in mid-step and stared off into the distance. There was a blond-haired teenage boy wearing clothing he had only seen once before standing there talking to an Al Bhed girl a few years younger than him. He immediately recognized the two figures in front of him: Tidus and Rikku.

Tidus! Rikku! Long time no see, ya? He replied as he continued to walk toward them.
