Rikku disappears just before the final trip to the Farplane Abyss.
Yuna finds her on the deck, sitting alone.
As Yuna approaches, Rikku stands but continues to face forward,
staring out into the sky.

What's wrong?
There's a heavy pause.

It's just...
Why do I always feel like I'm being left behind?
Yunie, you're changing. You wanna change. And Paine's changed a whole bunch.
She sighs.

But, Rikku, I have you to thank for that.
If you hadn't invited me along, I might never have left Besaid.
Rikku turns to look at Yuna.
And the way I was before, I could never have lived like this.
Rikku turns around completely.
So, I think next time...

Next time?

Yeah. Next time will be your story.

Oooh! Really? What kind of story?

Hmm, well, let's see...
The screen fades to a full view of the Celsius while the girls talk,
returning just as Yuna finishes.
How's that for a beginning?

Do I get a hunky boy in my story?

Need one?

Yup-yup!

I wonder what Brother would say...

He's not invited!
She laughs.
I'll come up with something...I guess.

You will, Rikku. If anyone can do it, you can.
Rikku stretches and walks back inside.
