Rikku and Tidus ride together to Macalania Temple.

Sorry about Wakka.

He didn't have to be so mean, yeah?
I almost cried.

Uh... Rikku?

Just kidding!
It's okay. At least you're still nice.
Hey, do I look like Yunie, you think?

Huh?

Well, my dad's sister is Yunie's mother, you get it?

I had no idea! If you say so.

Mmhmm.

Okay! I guess you're guarding your family, then.

Yuna's not the only one that I want to protect.

Huh?

We Al Bhed want to protect all of the summoners, you know?
Summoners are...
Well, you could say that...
they sacrifice themselves to, well...to bring happiness to Spira.

What do you mean?

Oh!

Rikku?

Yes?

"Sacrifice themselves"?

You know, the pilgrimage...
It, uh, takes a lot out of you?

Oh, right.
But you know, Yuna's real serious about being a summoner.
For Yuna, well the pilgrimage kinda means everything to her.
You are going to help her, too, aren't you, Rikku?

Mm.

So you shouldn't say that Yuna's sacrificing herself.
Rikku squeezes Tidus.
Rikku?

I hope you're right.
