~*~**~**~*~

Yuna looked at Tidus carefully, analyzing his expression while he wasn't looking at her.

She could tell something was bugging him.

"What's wrong?" She asked curiously. Tidus looked up at her. "Oh, nothing." He said, taking a bite of some cereal he had poured for himself. "Tell me." Yuna said. She knew something was on his mind, she didn't think something was on his mind.

He just looked up at her blankly. It was almost like it was easy to tell Yuna things by just looking at her. She almost immediately got his thoughts, and he didn't even say anything.

"Oh..." She said, looking away from him. "You... really don't want me to come?" Yuna asked. "It's not that, Yuna. It's just... I really don't want to take the chance of you getting hurt, you know?" Tidus replied thoughtfully. Yuna slightly nodded. "You... didn't act this way during the pilgrimage." Yuna explained. "I know. I just... I don't know." He replied.

And he really didn't know. What was it? Why was he acting this way? He knew she kicked ass at battle, but he still saw her as vulnerable. Maybe it was just him. She seemed so dear and innocent around him.

Yuna didn't reply. "I promise I will keep safe... that's all I can do. I'm going to come with you." Yuna said.

Nothing was going to set her back.

Nothing.

"Right!" He replied cheerfully.

He had promised her that if everyone came, then he would let her come along. So the best he could do right now was to be as cheerful as possible. There was no sense in fretting about it now.

Yuna smiled, and continued eating.

"So... where is Maester Widel's castle anyway? Or... palace... whatever..." He suddenly said. Yuna looked up at him, quickly swallowing her food. "It is in Bevelle. Don't worry, I've seen it before. We'll be there quicker than you think." She smiled. He gave a cheerful, but fake, smile as well. "We will take the airship there." Yuna smiled. Tidus slightly nodded.

"We should go now." Lulu said. "I agree." Yuna slightly nodded. The others all nodded. Except for Tidus, that is. He didn't respond. He just breathed in deep, and sighed. "We'll take the airship!" Rikku said, leaping for an eccentric joy. Yuna nodded. "I had planned that, too." Yuna said.

How could she be so cheerful about this situation? Tidus thought. What was there to smile about?

"Hey Lu, you got those costumes done, ya?" Wakka asked. Lulu nodded. "Yes, they're hanging right there." Lulu pointed to a coat hanger she had hung them all on. "I even got some contacts for Yuna, so that no one recognizes her two different colored eyes." Lulu said, pulling a little contact-holder box out of her pocket. She handed it to Yuna and told her to go put them on. She also handed her a skimpy tanktop, a unique skirt that went down to her feet that had a slit over the mid- thigh area. She also handed her some strappy shoes that were good to run in, and some long gloves. "You should also style your hair differently than you usually do." She smiled. Yuna nodded in agreement, and ran up to her room.

Lulu looked at Tidus and handed him a dark leather coat, with leathered jeans and a cowboy hat. "You're making me wear that?!" Tidus asked in surprise and disgust. "It's perfect! And it's good that it's not your style, so no one will recognize you!" Lulu said sternly. Lulu then handed Wakka a flashy yellow jacket and some black long shorts, with sunglasses. "Now Wakka, mat your hair down so no one will recognize your hairstyle." Lulu explained. "Why can't I wear what Wakka's going to wear?!" Tidus asked. Lulu looked at him. "Can't you just cooperate?!" Lulu asked, shaking her head and sighing. "Wakka! Wear this!" Tidus pointed to the clothes Lulu had given to him. It seemed like Wakka was thinking. "Eh, all right." He shrugged.

He figured what the hey, Tidus seemed terribly eager to get new clothes, and heh! The clothes didn't look that bad!

"Thank you, Wakka!!" Tidus replied happily. He handed Wakka his clothes, and took Wakka's clothes in exchange. "You know, those clothes are probably not going to fit you right, now." Lulu said. "Who cares! As long as it isn't that, I'm happy." Tidus smiled. He then turned around, heading for his and Yuna's room.

"Rikku, I didn't make a costume for you. I figure it would be better if you just dressed up as a regular Al Bhed, with your goggles." Lulu said. "That way, no one will recognize which Al Bhed you are." Lulu smiled. "Aww..." Rikku pouted for a moment, and then smiled and replied, "Okays!"

"Kimahri, I will be responsible for cutting your hair. I made an artificial horn for you, so that no one will notice you by your broken horn." Kimahri just nodded.

"And for me..." Lulu began. "This!" She showed the others a beautiful kimono with an expensive-looking obi.

"Why do Lulu get best of accessories?" Kimahri asked. "Yeah! What about your hair Lu? It's so long, people are bound to notice you!" Wakka explained. "That's easy. I'll just put a hat on." Lulu smiled. "You're gonna look kind of suspicious with a hat on with a kimono, ya?" Wakka scratched the back of his head. Lulu hadn't thought of that. "Is it time for Lulu to get a little haircut?" Wakka smirked evilly.

She didn't ever want to cut her hair. She loved it long. Right now, she wished she had refused to journey with Tidus and Yuna. Her hair was of that to sacrifice.

Lulu sighed. "Fine. I will cut my hair." Lulu said, slowly shaking her head. "Heh..." Wakka responded. He didn't want to burst out laughing. If he did that, who knows what she'd be capable of!

Yuna was finished dressing and putting in her brown contacts Lulu had given her. She put her hand on the bathroom door, shut the light off, and opened it, not knowing that Tidus was dressing in the room.

Yuna exited the bathroom and turned to see him pulling up his black shorts over his boxers. "Oh!" Yuna shielded her eyes.

"Huh?!" Tidus responded, quite surprised. He didn't expect Yuna to get done so soon.

"I-I'm sorry!" Yuna turned, and uncovered her eyes. She decided to just face the opposite way until he was done dressing. Tidus blushed, and kind of laughed. "Heh, that's okay. I didn't expect you to get done so soon!" He smiled. Yuna didn't reply. She was so embarrassed.

Yuna felt her cheeks. They were hot from so much embarrassment in one moment.

Tidus put on the flashy yellow shirt Lulu had given him and said, "Heh, I'm dressed now." He put on the sunglasses, and did a silly pose when Yuna turned around.

When Yuna saw him she laughed. "You look silly." She stated. "You really think so?" He asked, already knowing he looked like an idiot. "Man, Lulu should have gotten me contacts. I don't want to wear these." He said, taking his sunglasses off. "Maybe if you change your hairstyle, you won't have to wear the sunglasses." Yuna smiled. "No way! Not my hair!" Tidus quickly replied. Yuna laughed. "You could... make it not so stylish. You don't have to necessarily cut it." She said. "Eh, I'll probably have to do that, for Lulu to let me go along with the trip." Tidus smirked. Yuna slightly nodded.

"Like your hair." He smiled. Yuna sort of blushed. She had her bangs spiked to all kinds of different angles, and she pulled the rest of her hair back into a red-colored long rope type of thing, which went down to her feet. It had artificial hair that matched her color at the bottom, which made her hair look ten times it's original length. She took the earring she usually wore, out. Although it was one of her most prized possessions, she couldn't risk wearing it.

"Then again..." He began, approaching her. "I like, no, love everything about you!" He smiled placing a kiss upon the tip of her nose. Yuna crinkled her face for a second and giggled in response.

She was adorable to him.

It was after everyone was dressed and ready to go, when they met back in the hotel lobby.

Tidus looked at Lulu in surprise. "Lulu! Your... hair..." He said with wide eyes. Lulu looked at him sternly. "I don't want to hear about it." Lulu said. Her hair was very, very short, and she had unique spikes in her hair. "I swear to myself I will never cut it again no matter what." She said. Tidus chuckled, while Wakka was almost dying from laughter. He soon stopped though when Lulu looked his way.

"We should go now." Lulu said. Everyone nodded in agreement. "Rikku, you lead the way to the airship." Lulu said. "Right-o!" Rikku replied cheerily, stepping in front of the group. "Right this way!" She said, as she skipped out of the hotel door.

There was no reason to sign out of the hotel, since they'd only be gone for about a day.
