For Lulu, the deck of the Celsius airship was a calm and quiet retreat. A still point in time which allowed her to reflect upon her thoughts and hone her senses to the ambiences of the sea as the airship flew close and smoothly over the ocean's sun-drenched surface. Feeling the gentle breeze on her face and the skin of her flawless bare shoulders and chest, Lulu closed her eyes and surrendered her mind to the silence and stillness of the perfect summer water…

For a handful of eternal moments, Lulu lost herself to a familiar serenity of which she had experienced all too rarely in her past…

"I'm telling you Yunie, it's gonna be great! I'm gonna take you shopping!" Rikku's sudden and shrill voice carried from the elevator and over the deck to Lulu's ears like nails on a chalkboard, and shattered her reverie into a million tiny shards which cut through her deepest thoughts and bled them dry.

"There's a store there with an awesome sale, we'll buy so many dresses that you won't have room enough on your Grid for them!" Tightening her closed eyes, Lulu pursed her lips and tried her best to ignore the animated and annoying nineteen year old Al Bhed girl's irritating voice.

"And all of them will be super colourful too! It'll be like looking at a million rainbows! Oh, I can't wait! It's gonna be so… FANTASTIC!" With her fists clenched and brown-red eyes open wide, Lulu turned away from the ocean and glared over to the other side of the ship's deck where Rikku and Yuna had already made themselves comfortable, sitting side by side at the edge of the Celsius.

Out of the corner of one of her two-toned eyes, Yuna caught Lulu's sharp movement and twisted her body to face her.

"Oh… hi, Lulu." Yuna responded meekly, instantly noticing her Guardian's irked expression.

"hmm?" Rikku mumbled glancing from the ocean, to Yuna and then to Lulu in the distance. "Oh hey, Lulu!" She yelled with a high pitched vigour as she scrambled to her feet and darted over to Lulu, entirely either disregarding her displeased expression or ignoring it completely.

"Lulu, are you gonna come with Yunie and I to the stores for a super shopping bonanza? It'd be great if you would tag along. You could get those creepy puppets of yours to help carry all of our bags!" Lulu raised an eyebrow in bewilderment at Rikku's naïve stupidity.   

"No." Lulu answered with a frighteningly stoic and unfeeling tone which was completely lost on Rikku.

"Awww, why not? I mean, you could do with a few new dresses yourself. Why don't you dress like a normal person? Black is so boring, you need to inject some colour into your life, Lulu." Over Rikku's shoulder, Lulu saw Yuna covering her mouth with her hand in an attempt to stifle her own laughter, seeing this, Lulu narrowed her eyes in anger, an expression which again, went unnoticed by Rikku as she continued to prattle on. "I bet it'd make you feel much better about yourself, in fact, I guarantee it would, and just what are all of those belts for anyway? There must be a good- Wha-? Nyaaaaa!!"

From everywhere and nowhere, the deck of the airship was suddenly crowded with mysterious knee high puppets both running towards and diving through the air at Rikku and Yuna. Other than to scream, Rikku had little time to react until it was too late and the puppets were upon her.

Forcefully tackling Rikku to the ground, Lulu's puppets then proceeded to hold her face down on the cold and hard floor of the ship's deck with an amazing and impossible strength.

"Grrr, Lulu, what the hell?!" shouted Rikku as she struggled against the puppets, her voice still more aggravating to Lulu than it was aggravated towards Lulu's actions against her.

"Shhh" Lulu hissed as she turned her attention from Rikku and over to Yuna.

Yuna hadn't attempted to fight against Lulu's puppets, instead she had accepted their advancement and let them pin her to the ground with ease as they had with Rikku; face down on the deck of the Celsius. Lying with her chest and face pressed painfully against the ground, Yuna stared towards Lulu with sorrowful eyes. Yuna had known better than to laugh at Rikku for belittling Lulu's appearance but hadn't stopped herself; she knew she now deserved whatever punishment or lesson Lulu had in mind for her to endure.

At Lulu's feet, Rikku continued to struggle against the awesome strength of the puppets. The Al Bhed girl was strong and had more than enough stamina to outlast most people during any rigorous physical exercise but the puppets weren't human and were expending no energy in keeping Rikku pinned to the floor, eventually an exhausted Rikku had no choice but to submit her body to the will of the puppets, and with ease they dragged her arms behind her back, crossed them at the wrists and held them in place. Feeling a damp mist on her brow, which was partly caused by the sun but mostly by her struggles, Rikku took a deep and fatigued breath as she watched Lulu crouch down and sit beside her.

With certain and deft fingers, Lulu probed at the myriad of belts attached to her dress which covered her legs at the front. One by one after unbuckling and pulling them free, Lulu handed each puppet surrounding Rikku, of which there were many, a belt which they then began to bind her with.

"Lulu, no! Don't make them do this! Don't make them tie me up!" Rikku screamed as she realised just what Lulu was up to with her belts and puppets. Lulu didn't reply, instead she continued to hand the surrounding puppets each belt that she pulled free of her dress.

Rikku felt her heart begin to thrash against her chest in panic as the first puppet looped one of Lulu's belts around her ankles while another began binding her wrists. Biting her lower lip, Rikku began to struggle again but her body was too fatigued to fight against Lulu's puppets with any effectiveness.  

"Dammit, Lulu! I don't like it! I don't like being tied up! Paine and I tried it once, I know what I'm talking about, please don't!" Rikku swallowed hard as the first belts were pulled tight around her ankles and wrists, her throat was dry with the panic and fear coursing through her body. She felt another thick belt being threaded under and wrapped around her bare thighs…

Feeding two more belts under Rikku's chest; one above her breasts and one below, Lulu's puppets continued to pull and tighten the long imprisoning leather straps around the Al Bhed girl's body and buckled them without remorse which kept her arms in place, pinned to her back. With the last belt buckled into place over Rikku's bound body, the puppets slowly began to back away, leaving her helpless on the deck of the Celsius beside Lulu.

"Okay, Lulu, so I've seen what they can do and how tight they can be tied. They're very tight, just like how Paine ties them, but can you let me go now?" Rikku begged Lulu, who was still sitting beside her.

Without saying a word, Lulu took one last belt from her dress, pushed Rikku over onto her back with a strict nudge and knelt over her.

Rikku felt her cheeks blush with a deep scarlet as Lulu straddled her body between her knees. She would have almost been excited, were she not so scared, but still Rikku couldn't ignore the sensation that whispered through her body as Lulu bent over her and brought her face closer to Rikku's; so close that Rikku could feel Lulu's cool, soft and controlled breaths caress her smouldering skin.

"L-let me go, Lulu. Y-you don't have to come shopping with us, you can stay here…" Rikku bit her lip again which was now becoming rather raw; silently Lulu's brown-red eyes continued to stare into Rikku's uniquely swirled Al Bhed eyes with an expression that Rikku couldn't decipher which scared her further.

"Lulu! Let me- mmmpph!!" Rikku's eyes widened as Lulu clamped a hand over her mouth. A sweet, icy and elating sensation immediately coursed through Rikku's burning body in a thick and liberating wave that sent her heart into spasms and forced her breath to catch in her throat.   

Looking down at Rikku's surprised and clearly exhilarated expression, Lulu licked her lips and passionately kissed the back of her own hand where Rikku's lips would have been. Rikku moaned a soft nasal breath as she felt Lulu's soft hand press down more firmly over her mouth under the weight of her kiss.  

Taking her lips from her own hand and her hand away from Rikku's mouth, Lulu brought the belt from earlier up over Rikku's face and pushed it forward between her teeth before Rikku could form any new words of protest. Lulu's belt was rough against Rikku's skin and tasted vaguely of scented sweat. Rikku stared back at Lulu with a mixed expression of both defiance and curious submission. Soon the belt was buckled tightly behind Rikku's head, causing her jaws to be forced together under the stretched corners of her lips.

Coming to her senses Rikku began to moan and convulse her body between Lulu's legs in a struggle for freedom. With a smirk Lulu grabbed Rikku's jaw and held her head in place.

"Sshh" Hushed Lulu as she brought her index finger to her own lips, kissed it and then placed it against Rikku's gorgeous bound lips.

Rikku's eyes widened with anger as she forcefully jerked her head free from Lulu's soft grip on her jaw and continued to struggle.

Still smirking, Lulu stood up and looked down at Rikku as she continued to struggle against the belts binding her while consciously avoiding eye contact with her captor.

Yuna's heart both sank and quickened as Lulu turned her cold yet excited gaze from Rikku and over to the captive summoner. With a few steps Lulu was standing over Yuna with a devilish glint in her eyes; Yuna stared up at her Guardian with her apologetic two-toned eyes, her expression was one of regret but she knew it wasn't going to help her predicament.

"Are you going to behave?" Lulu asked; her words cold and a little rushed.

Without saying a word, Yuna nodded her head in obedience.
