jaebilityforgive any mistakes i made regarding the spellings of character names and/or locations. i'm new at the this final fantasy business.
The Thunder Plains were absolute hell for Rikku. For the entire first day of trvael she had tried endlessly to convince the party to turn back and try another way by means of begging, yelling, clinging, and (a last desperate attempt) throwing bombs. Nothing worked; all the poor girl got was annoyed frowns and a whack on the head from Tidus.
With each bolt of lightening she trembled; with each crash of thunder she cried. Rikku was positively hysterical and not even the ever stoic Kimahri could hold his tongue. "Rikku need to quiet. She will gather the attention of enemies."
His observation was duly noted by his companions and Tidus tried his best to stuff a handkerchief into her mouth to shut her up.
At long last they reached an inn and after squeals of hope and fear from the blond, Auron agreed to a night under its roof. Only a night, he warned, not without anger and impatience in his voice, and not only moment longer.

"Eeeeah!" Rikku bolted up in her bed as another roll of thunder shook the inn. Her heart pounded like... well... Thunder in her chest and it took a moment for her to conquer the terror that had numbed her body senseless. In the bed next to her Yuna mumbled in her sleep and rolled over. Rikku flushed and bit her lip feeling guilty that she had caused her cousin so many problems during her journey. She silently slipped out of bed determined to sleep elsewhere so that she would not wake the exhausted Summoner. As she left the room she glanced at the slumbering Kimahri who lay at the foot of Yuna's bed, and, feeling a twinge of guilt for him too, pulled the blanket off her bed, covering the lionman with its warmth. His eyes opened, signalling that he had woken up even though his mistress had not, but closed after Rikku had pressed a finger to her lips and shushed any movement he may have planned to make.
As soon as Rikku stepped into the hallway she regretted her choice. Lightening flashed through the windows and thunder screamed in the sky. Rikku echoed it with her own moan of fright. She began to shiver out of fear and coldness and fought down the urge to cry. Lower lip trembling she headed towards Lulu's room. Her bare feet padded on the cold wooden floor and she rubbed her hands over her arms to try to inspire warmth. "Cold. Lonely." She said outloud to herself, her voice quiet not to wake her friends but loud enough to block out far-off thunder.
Lightening flicked light into the hallway as Rikku pushed the door open that lead to Lulu's room. She tiptoed in, knowing that the Guardian would not be offended with her presence. Lulu had warmed up immediately to the small Al Bhed and Rikku trusted the older woman as much as Yuna did. "Just me," she whispered to Lulu as she climbed in bed. "Couldn't sleep. Wanna be with someone cuz I'm scared." In the darkness she could only make out a general shape in the bed but she could tell that Lulu hadn't turned over yet. Relieved that she hadn't woken her up, Rikku snuggled into the bed's warmth, feeling completely better and for the first time since entering the Plains, safe. "'Night."
A particularly resounding thunder blast won a squeak from Rikku. She squeezed her eyes shut and pushed against her bedmate's back. It was then that she began to realize that something wasn't right about her situation; Lulu's back wasn't that hard was it? Or that large? Rikku sat up, confused and curious. A sly smile lit up her face. "Lulu, you dog," she murmured, "I didn't know that you already had a sleeping companion." She gigled, completely forgetting about the ever-present storm. "Won't Tidus be amused when he learns that you're sleeping with Wakka?"
"Don't you ever shut up?"
The blood in Rikku froze. "Sir Auron?!?"
