Chapter Two

"The bed pulls out into another one under it," Zeku told Raras. "You can have the bottom one." Zeku didn't feel comfortable with the idea, especially since she had no idea who this guy was--and even with the notion of him being a complete and total stranger to her, she was just picking up back vibes from his attitudes--little things here and there that made her pause and wonder his motive.

"Alright," Raras agreed. Zeku and turned away to the other side of her bed. It wasn't too bad, she guessed. Her bed was queen size and it was quite comfortable--she would fall asleep easily. She climbed under the covers and faced away from him, closing her eyes very warily. Zeku would only be awake for a few minutes--she thought back to when she'd first awoken that day after she got hit in the head. She had actually felt comfortable with the condition first--maybe because something lingered in her, but now she only felt barren. Her thoughts had an unfamiliar substance that frustrated her. She'd lived the past few months with a declining mentality. Zeku finally closed her eyes and let sleep take her.

In the middle of the night, however, Zeku woke with a start as Raras's face was right in front of hers. That dirty little bug had crawled up with her. She let out a stifled scream and fell off the side of the bed in utter shock. Then she stood up and balled her hands into fists. This was Tidus's fault--all of this, so she headed out of the room and sought to get revenge.

Morning finally came and Tidus woke up, his hair all flat and dumb looking--and we all know Tidus: that hairstyle is just no good. So he reached out for his gel bottle, squirted a little bit into his hands, and began his daily routine of primping. Tidus was a girly man...a hot girly man: his own special category. He walked out of his room finally, feeling very confident in himself, and everyone was already at the table eating breakfast as usual, chowing down on their traditional bacon and eggs cheerfully as they did everyday. Rikku was flinging pieces of egg at Paine as she sometimes did when she got bored and Paine was once again threatening to beat the crap out o f her after she was finished with her glass of orange juice.

Suddenly, everyone stopped what they were doing as if time had been frozen. Rikku's chunk of scrambled eggs was merely halfway out of her spoon in a direction that would most definitely end up one way or another on Paine's face and Paine's glass of orange juice was just barely touching her lips. Yuna, who stood by the stove, was frozen as well. Zeku and Raras remained at the table, sitting there and staring at Tidus as everyone else was.

"What?" he asked, then looked down at his fingertips. They were purple. "WHAT!? WHAT'S THIS!?" He screamed as he looked up and saw shades of purple in his hair. Everyone finally began to laugh--he looked like a clown! A one man circus with that hair! He ran back into his room and tried desperately to wash it out in the sink, but it wouldn't come out. Zeku gave a small smirk in Paine's direction and they two of them nodded knowingly.

The fun was interrupted as a loud roar sounded from just outside. "I'll go check it out," Zeku volunteered herself, getting up and walking outside to see what was making the noise.
