koneko~wow...we're so close to the ocean
ann~yup. So if you ever get lost, face it and go left. That'll take you to djose temple and moonflow
koneko~how would we get lost?
ann~incase there's some butthole that pushes you over the side or you go exploring
tenka~is there anything out here worth seeing?
ann~i guess there's new yevon, but i'd rather not have to deal with them
reiketsu~did you destroy their HQ?
ann~no!...maybe...i only took out the elevator on accident
kiba~how did that happen on accident?
ann~a fiend was chasing me and I decided to use magic....
tenka~grandpa didn't help?
ann~he was resting. So I went out to explore, and my aiming for magic wasn't the greatest at the time
the triplets snickered and they continued on

some hours later they got to a fork in the road
tenka~the sign is well worn...
koneko~it's not like we can read it anyway
ann~we'll go right first. That's where the temple is at. Well, what used to be a temple. The al bhed took over and this is where we can get a digging license for the desert
kiba~is it as bad as sand?
ann~only because there're fiends.
They went along and soon had the temple in sight. When they were a few bridges away, the triplets decided to race the rest of the way, but at the last bridge, a spider-like machine bursted through the temple walls.
ann~keep running towards it!
Reiketsu grabbed tenka and threw themselves under the machine as it ran past
tenka~where's sis?
reiketsu~s**t I thought she was still ahead of us

ann had dropped their things and ran ahead. She used thunder to break the bridge behind her. She grabbed koneko and tossed her to her siblings and broke that bridge as well, trapping herself and the machine.

reiketsu~are you okay?
koenko~yeah...but what about mom?
tenka~mom's moving way to fast
some al bhed came over and helped them stand
gipple~are you kids alright? Is that woman your mother?
tenka~her name is ann
gipple~there's no way to save that machine now...
reiketsu punched him
reiketsu~our mother is going to end up dying and you're worried about that damn machine?! Look at her. Have you ever seen her move that fast?!
They heard the spider fall apart. When they looked up they saw the ground falling away as well
koneko~moooooooom!
Ann smiled and threw her sword at them before falling with the machine. Reiketsu turned to his siblings and held them tight
gipple~is there anyone you know here?
reiketsu~our father is on the other side. Call the gullwings

some hours later the gullwings arived and were able to get kiba back with the trplets
yuna~it's getting dark...it'd be best to look in the morning...
koenko~but...mom...she might...
rikku~look, i'll take you to the farplane. Its' a place where we can see the dead. As long as ann doesn't appear there, she's still alive.
kiba~rei, tenka, do you two want to do too?
reiketsu quickly~tenka you stay. I'll go
tenka nodded
rikku~yuna and paine will stay with you two. We have a radio so we could tell you if we see ann or if you find her you can tell us
kiba~alright. Thank you girls
he kissed reiketsu's and koneko's heads before they were lead onto the ship

rikku~we'll be there in a few hours. Try to rest a bit before then
she lead them into the cabin
rikku~the beds are up there. The stairs are in the back. Barkeep will make you something if you're hungry, and i'll come get you when we get to guadosalam
reiketsu~and if we decide to wander around?
rikku~don't get lost and don't mess with the engines. Also don't fall off the ship

some hours later, rikku came back and woke the two. She lead them into guadosalam and into the farplane. She stood with them at the edge.
rikku~all you need to do is think about her. If she's gone on, she'll show here
koenko~if mom doesn't?
rikku~she'll either still be alive or she'll be an unsent
reiketsu~so a tangible ghost?
rikku~yeah, essentially
reiketsu and koneko sat together. in front of them appeared ane and auron
rikku~you guys have met sir auron?
koneko~we visit grandma and grandpa sometimes...they sometimes bring other people with them too...
rikku~so you're hoping that they don't bring ann?
reiketsu~yeah. So far, that's not the case
