Revenge is a Dish Best Served Hot

Rikku sat down on the ground and took a moment to more closely examine her surroundings. The marsh she had just fled was nestled between a ridge of tall mountains. Other than that, all she could see as far as she looked in any direction were endless fields. Having no idea where to go or what to do, Rikku just sat where she was trying to think.

She was almost on the verge of falling asleep when she heard a familiar sound. She sat still and listened, and sure enough there it was again, "kweh". It was a chocobo! Maybe if she could catch it, she could ride it to civilization!

Rikku ducked down, hiding in the tall grass, waiting for the chocobo to draw closer. Finally she saw it, and all of her hopes were dashed. It already had a rider. A pretty girl in her early twenties was mounted on the big yellow bird's back, and she was making her way north across the fields. The girl had long, brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, and was dressed in a white shirt that fit very tightly over her massive breasts, black shorts that showed a lot of leg, and a pair of suspenders.

Rikku stayed hidden. She didn't know if the girl was friendly or not, but she looked pretty strong, and Rikku did not want to risk encountering anyone hostile out here in the middle of nowhere. She decided to follow the girl, since the chocobo at least was something she recognized, and hope that she was led to a town or something so she could figure out where exactly she was.

Rikku followed the girl for a long way across the plains. Luckily the chocobo was not being ridden too hard, and Rikku was able to keep up. Late in the afternoon Rikku's quarry finally arrived at her destination, a chocobo farm. The brown-haired girl rode her steed to a barn at the edge of the farm and entered, closing the door behind her. Rikku, unsure how to proceed, decided to wait outside. She was amazed by all the different colors of chocobos; the only ones she'd ever seen were yellow, but here they had blue, green, red, black, even gold. She began to suspect that maybe Tidus had been right about Sin transporting people to other worlds, and perhaps the same thing had happened to her.
