Lulu and Wakka were standing on the clear sandy beaches of Besaid Island. They were awaiting the arrival of Yuna, there was said to be important news that she brings and Lulu and Wakka were supposed to be the first to know before the bonfire that night.

Lulu stood in silence looking in the sky for Cids airship. She was concerned and was surprisingly patient compared to Wakkas nervous antics.

'What if it's a special sphere ya?'

He was going on guessing for the past ten minutes. Usually this would have annoyed Lulu but she had other things on her mind and this he noticed.

'Lu whatcha think?'

She didn't answer. What can she possibly want to tell it be that important that she wanted us to know first?

'what ever it is its got to be important ya?' Wakka was making circles in the sand with his right sandal.

'Wakka calm down, Yunas a big girl' she sounded confident as usual but Wakka knew her much better than that , but he also realized that she was in a good mood so he brushed it off.

'Yea your right Lu, its prolly nothing ya'

I wonder what she's thinking about, he stared at her for a while then turned away embarrassed remembering that she could in fact see through the raven black hair that laid over her face.

What was that about, she sighted hoping that he didn't notice her blush at his intense stare. Gaining a hold of her thoughts she reminded herself why she was here in the first place.

Yuna.

They stood like that for a while longer. Wakka was starting to get tired of waiting so he turned toward Lulu and placed his hand on her bare shoulder. Thus surprising Lulu out of her trance.

'Lets go in the shade Lu, we have been out here for a while and you seem flushed'

Lulu nodded in approval, and they both headed for a near by tree. They talked casually about random things , well Wakka mainly talked but Lulu did interject from time to time/ shes in a good mood today thought Wakka he loved when she was happy.

1 hour has passed and they both where growing weary. 'Its not like her to be late' Lulu said aloud but more to herself.

'She's alright, she prolly ran in to a lil trouble ya' He sensed Lulus worry and gave her a comforting lop sided grin that only made Lulu smile back. Lulu was smiling facing forward when her smile dropped immediately and her eyes squinted to look at something far off. When Wakka saw her smile disappear so abruptly he turned away from her to try and see what she was looking at. Wakka got up and started walking towards the shore line, Lulu soon followed suit. The object was spherical (hint hint) and was plummeting towards the water not so far from where Lulu and Wakka stood.

'Whar is that?' Wakka questioned trying to block the sun from his eyes while looking up.

'It's a sphere….and I think its meant for us'

stated Lulu eyeing the falling sphere.

'Ill get it!!' Wakka shouted excitedly, and with that he pulled off his shirt revealing a tan muscular sun kissed bliztsers body, and ran into the ocean. Lulu couldn't help but watch as the water shimmered on his body. What am I doing…turn away, turn away now!. Despite her internal demands she couldn't help notice how good Wakka looked She had always known him to be in shape but she never really noticed how nicehe looked, and she cursed herself for realizing it now.

Wakka dove into the ocean, he remembered seeing it fall somewhere around the area and was determined to find it, and would be damned if he went back to Lulu empty handed. After some searching he saw the sphere glistering nestled between some yellow coral. He swam back to the shore and started to run when he tripped right in front of Lulu, pulling her down with him as he clumsily fell. He was now on top of the black mages thin body breathing heavily from the marathon swim.There faces were just inches away and Lulu could feel his body rapidly rising and falling with each deep breath. Soon her own breathing began to become shallow and as hard as she tried she couldn't control it. Wakka began to laugh nervously.

'heh heh heh..'

Lulus face was startled and the looked into each others eyes for a half a second. Then Lulus face once again became barren. Everything on her face became emotionless accept for her eyes. The fall knocked Lulus bang away from her face so now two crimson eyes gazed upon two chocolate eyes. This moment however didn't last.

Lulu felt the blood rising to her cheeks and snapped out of the mental lock Wakka had her in. (but not fast enough)
