"I'm here yunie." Rikku said and was glad her cousin was awake.

"What happened...Is Nick okay?" She asked, worried.

" Nick is fine. You fainted when we found you and I promise you are safe. " Rikku said.

"Thanks Rikku," Yuna responded with a smile. "So...that means Jafar is gone?" she asked.

" It does mean that, but Chris got away." Rikku said.

Yuna scowled lightly. "I wish we got him instead of Jafar..."

" I wish we did too. " Rikku said. " Maybe we'll beat him the next time we fight him. Or he's already facing some punishment from some higher powers. " She said thinking about Thalia's family.

"What do you mean luiceh (Al-bhed for cousin)?" Yuna asked.

(congrats on the Lions win)

( Thanks. Next week they will be playing Green Bay and a shot at the division lead. )

Rikku explained as best she could about Thalia and what happened with the scientists before. " Not all the scientists were evil. Salem and Eve once worked for them but they were the few that were spared. "

"I see...so Salem and Eve were scientists but spared by Morpheus because they weren't really 'evil' like the others. As such, Eve captured/befriended her bishie Kirito, and Salem became her boyfriend and later on finding Articuno, the mysterious bird of ice, right?" Yuna asked, curious.

" Right. They are nice and have been helping as much as they can with this. Eve was a secretary but even Salem is having some trouble with the files Chris left behind.

"Nick can probably help then, he was a computer specialist before everything, or so he told me after he captured me," Yuna admitted before hearing footsteps in the distance.

" Happy to hear your voice Yunie. " Nick said with a grin once he saw Yuna and was glad Deanna was with him.

"Nick, you're okay!" Yuna said happily, though winced lightly as she tried moving quickly.

" Take it easy but I am. " Nick said with a grin.

Yuna nodded before settling down bonce more. "Sorry, I was just worried..."

" I understand Yunie. I promise you'll be better in no time at all. " Nick said with a grin.

"Hey, I thought I was the only one who called you that Yunie," Rikku responded with a light pout, causing the others to laugh.

" You and Nick are are the only two that can call me that. " Yuna said with a grin.

"Oh...just Nick and me can call you that, hm?" she asked with a teasing smirk. "You never let Tidus call you that..."

" That's because you and Nick are special. " Yuna said with a giggle.

"I see," she said with a smirk. Oh this was going to be great blackmail for later.

" Can I get you anything Yunie? Maybe some food or water?" Rikku asked.

"Just some water please," Yuna responded.

Nick nodded and went to get some water. " Here you go. " he said with a smile.
