Room 308, Thursday Evening
There were going to be mercenaries, on the island, and that was quite possibly the coolest thing ever. And she was kinda nervous about it, too, because Deadpool was a merc and he was awesome but maybe the rest of them would be all weird at her, because ... she kinda wasn't one, and all. Just a girl who'd been a bodyguard once.
Speaking of, Yunie had written her a letter ...
Dear Rikku,
I saw a rather interesting machina at the market the other day, and I thought of you. Then I realized that I hadn't written in far too long. I think that I miss you so much all the time that I have grown used to it. Sometimes I turn to tell you something funny, or to ask you for advice, and you're not there. Then I remember where you are, and that you are having fun, and I smile.
Things here are very much the same as they have been since you left. Mostly peaceful, with everyone happy and hopeful and rebuilding. It's odd. It is exactly what I hoped for during my pilgrimage, but I never expected to see it myself back then. I'm glad you all came with me and kept me going. I'll never forget that.
Oh, that reminds me. Last week Wakka tried to show off the new Blitzball shot he's been working on. He spent weeks talking up his "confuse shot" which he insisted was going to make him famous. I tried to remind him that he was pretty famous already, but of course he didn't listen. Anyway, the whole thing turned out pretty much exactly like you'd expect, and Wakka spent all day walking into things. He even walked into a cactus patch! The other guys on the team are still leaving cactus flowers where he'll find them every day, and by now some of the children are following him around just waiting for him to find it. His reactions are, well, you know Wakka, so I'm sure you can imagine.
How have you been, anyway? I haven't heard from you in a while, and I hope that that means things are going well. I've been thinking about our talk last time you visited, and I really do think you deserve a happy ending. And I'm convinced that one's on the way, so be on the lookout for it, okay?
Oh, and Tidus told me he was going to write you a letter too. You may already have it.
I miss you so much, so don't forget to stay in touch.
Lots of love from your cousin,
Yuna
P.S. Thank you for your gift. You were right: I opened the box and screamed "I can't wear this!" and then hid it under my bed. But I did promise. You were also right about me being flustered (that's an understatement) about it. But most of all, you were right about Tidus. I thought his eyes were going to fall out. It still makes me giggle and blush.
She'd actually worn it? Oh, wow. Rikku had been half-scared Yunie would chicken out. That was so great.
She picked up a pen - man, why couldn't Spira have cell phones!? - and started to write back.
