Mog flies over.

They all leave.

The moogles leave.
Eiko: Mog, you stay here with me.

Eiko: Okay, come on!
(Mog): Kupo!
She shrinks and flies into Eiko's clothes.
Zidane: Did that moogle go inside your dress?
Eiko: Yup! Mog always stays with me.
Mog emerges.
(Mog): Kupo!
She returns.
Eiko: Zidane, come sit over here!
She leads him to a bench.
(Zidane): H-Hey!
Eiko: Tell me more about yourself!
(Eiko): Tell me!
Zidane: Sure. I wanna know more about you, too, Eiko.
(Eiko): Really!?
They sit.
Zidane: For instance, the eidolon...
Eiko: Where are you from? How old are you? What do you do? Where are you going?
Zidane: No, what I wanna know is...
Eiko: What kind of foods do you like? What kind of eidolons do you like? What type of moogles do you like? What type of girls do you like?

Zidane: What's wrong? You look dazed.
Dagger: Oh, it's nothing.
Zidane: Do you have a fever?
He feels her forehead.
(Dagger): Ahhh!
Zidane: You're fine. Hey, are you jealous?
Dagger: Why would I be jealous?
Eiko: Are you and Dagger really just friends?
Eiko: Seems like... you guys are...something more.
Zidane: Well...
Zidane: Yeah, we're more than friends.
Eiko: So? What are you guys?
Zidane: We're a team.
Eiko: A team...?
(Zidane): Yeah.
Zidane: Vivi's also a part of the team. Hey... Where did he go?
Eiko summons Mog.
Eiko: Is it sort of like me and the moogles?
Zidane: Something like that.
Mocha: All clean! Kupo!
Eiko: Thanks, Mocha! I'll be right there!
Eiko: I'm gonna start cooking! You have to come eat at my place later, okay?
She leaves.
Zidane: There's still stuff I want to ask her. Let's accept her invitation.
Dagger: Okay...
Eiko (returning briefly): I'll call you when the food's ready. Don't go too far!

Vivi: Mr. 288 told me that I understand what it means to live and to die...
Vivi: But it's only because I thought stopping was different from dying...
Vivi: I don't think I really understand what it means to live and to die.
Vivi: Where do we come from...? Do we go back there when we die...?
Vivi: If that's what it means to live... I wonder where I came from...?
Vivi: Where will I end up when I die...?
Vivi: Why am I shaking...?
Vivi: What is it that I'm feeling...?
ATE: Dagger's Feelings
Entrance* Moco: This is a restricted area!
(Dagger): A village of summoners...
Dagger: I read about them in a book once... A tribe that possesses the power to call forth eidolons...
(Dagger): Eidolons...
Dagger: Knowing that I had eidolons inside me didn't bring me any joy.
Dagger: Mother imprisoned me... used the eidolons she stole from me as tools of war.
Dagger: I thought I would kill my eidolons if Kuja was going to use them for war...
Dagger: But now that they're gone... I feel like I've lost a piece of myself...
Dagger: Why am I thinking all this now...?
Dagger: It must be the location. This place feels so familiar to me somehow...
Zidane: Restricted? What's that, then?
(Moco): Kupo!?
Quina (enters): Zidane, this place only rocks and sand.
Quina: I eat star sand once, but sand here not food.
Quina jumps down.
Quina: Water look clean.
Quina jumps in.

Eiko: Thanks for cleaning! You guys did a great job!
Eiko: A clean house worthy of hosting my hero, Zidane!
Eiko: But here's where the real challenge begins!
Eiko: I don't think Zidane and Dagger are dating, yet.
Eiko: Dagger has been slow to catch on to Zidane's moves.
Eiko: That means there's plenty of time for me to get between them!
Eiko: I'm gonna cook lots of yummy food and show Zidane what a good homemaker I am!
Mocha: Kupo! It might work if you cooked good food.
Momatose: But Eiko screws up a lot when she cooks.
Momatose: We don't have much food in stock right now...
Eiko: I know! That's why I can't screw up. You're all gonna help me.
Mocha: NO!
Chimomo: Kupopo...
Momatose: Kupo... I'm sleepy!
(Eiko): You're all gonna help!
They jump.
Eiko: I'm gonna cook my speciality: rock-fisted potato stew!
Momatose: Kupo. Yeah, that's delicious.
Mocha: But the last one you made tasted so bad, I thought my pompom would fall off...
Chimomo: Just stew?
Eiko: Yeah, I think I need another dish. What do you guys think?
Chimomo: Kupo. How about some fish?
Chimomo: Fresh fish tastes great barbecued.

Morrison shoos the guardian moogle.
* Morrison: Moco was very proud of his role as the Eidolon Wall guard.
Morrison: Eiko's decision to show the Eidolon Wall to outsiders upset him.
Morrison: But we moogles love Eiko. He'll understand, in time.
Zidane: Why does the wall need protection?
Morrison: The Eidolon Wall has been protected by Eiko's summoner tribe for generations.
Zidane: ...Summoner tribe?

Eidolon Wall
Morrison: The Eidolon Wall is a collection of paintings. The summoner tribe painted all the eidolons they found during their research.
Dagger: These eidolons all exist?
(Morrison): Kupo.
Morrison: This is a holy place for the summoner tribe.
Morrison: Lady Eiko comes here everyday to pray and burn incense for her ancestors.

Zidane: Wow, this stew tastes amazing! You should start a restaurant.

Zidane: Hey, Eiko, where are all the other summoners?
Zidane: Are they hiding underground or something?
Eiko: Underground? Yeah.
Eiko: They're all underground, sleeping the eternal sleep.
(Zidane): What...?
Eiko: I'm the last survivor of my tribe.
Eiko: I've been living with the moogles ever since my grandpa died last year.
(Dagger): I'm sorry...
Eiko: Oh, don't worry about me. I'm really happy here.
(Moogles): Kupo!
Eiko: Ten years ago, which is four years before I was born...
Eiko: A natural disaster struck the village. Even the survivors suffered a great deal.
Eiko: But my mom and dad fell in love and had a family.
Eiko: Not that I remember what they look like, because they died while I was very young.
(Zidane): I see...
Eiko: I've been told that when I turn 16 and my body builds a resistance to summon magic...
Eiko: I can leave the village with any eidolon I want!
Eiko: That's only a short time away! Just like the small difference between our ages, Zidane!
Zidane: But you already know how to use summon magic, Eiko.
Eiko: Well, a summoner can't choose her eidolon until she has come of age.
Eiko: That's why I can't choose an eidolon or leave the village until I turn 16.
Eiko: We just keep training until then!
Dagger: How do you train?
Eiko: How...? Oh, it's our horn. We use our horns to communicate with eidolons.
Eiko: How do you communicate without a horn, Dagger?
(Dagger): ......
Eiko: I'm like a beautiful young heroine in turmoil, don't you think?
(Zidane): Huh?
Eiko: You know why I'm here in this village? It was to meet you, Zidane, my beautiful shooting star...
Dagger: That's a line from Lord Avon's play, 'Wishing Upon a Star.'
Eiko: How did you know!? Darn it!

Eiko: That's soooo rude of you!!!
She storms out, then returns.
Eiko: Zidane, help me clear the table! Bring the pot over to the kitchen!
* Dagger: There are so many old books here.
Dagger: I think this one is Lord Avon's 'Wishing Upon a Star.'

Eiko: Thanks, Zidane. Could you leave it there?
He puts it down.
Zidane: Hey, Eiko, do you know anything about the Iifa Tree?
Eiko: What about the Iifa Tree?
Zidane: We want to go there.
Eiko: It's sealed with an eidolon. You can't get in.
Zidane: Sealed? Did you seal it, Eiko?
Eiko: Well...
Eiko: (So he's sharp about certain things.)
Eiko: It all happened before I was born, but they sealed an eidolon that we failed to summon in the Iifa Tree.
Eiko: It's our custom to seal a failed eidolon where we summon it.
Zidane: An eidolon you failed to summon...?
Eiko: But we used the power of another eidolon to seal it.
Eiko: Do you understand what that means? That means the sealed eidolon was so powerful that they needed another one to trap it inside.
Zidane: Sealed with the power of another eidolon, huh?
* Eiko
Zidane: Eiko, will you break the seal for us?
Eiko: Wh-What!? No way!
Zidane: It's not like we're gonna do anything bad... Well, I'm sure we can handle it on our own.
Eiko: No way! Are you crazy!?

Vivi: I know you told me not to think too much, but...
Zidane: That's because we're different, Vivi.
Zidane: You don't have to do everything my way, you know?
Vivi: I want to stop... I don't wanna feel like this anymore.
Vivi: What if I keep feeling like this?
(Zidane): Vivi...
Zidane: Well... In the end, it boils down to two simple choices.
Zidane: Either you do or you don't.
Zidane: You'd think with all the problems in this world, there'd be more answers.
He leaps onto the wall.
Zidane: It's not fair...
Zidane: ...but that's the way things are.
Zidane: The choice is yours.
Vivi: Zidane...
Zidane: I just wanna protect the people I'm with.
Zidane: Doesn't matter whether I can or not. It's what I believe in.
Eiko was eavesdropping.
Eiko: I knew it! I was right!
Eiko: Zidane is the man for me!
Eiko: He's right. You either do, or you don't.
Eiko: My choice is clear! I wanna go with Zidane!
Zidane: You wanna know a trick to get your mind off things?
(Eiko): Okay.
Zidane: This is an age-old ritual between male friends!

Zidane: Come over here, Vivi. Let's go together.
Zidane: Doesn't it feel nice to let yourself go under the stars?

Zidane: We gotta come back and get Quina, anyway. We can't just leave him here.
Dagger: Are you coming back here for Eiko?
Zidane: Eiko is only six years old. She acts tough, but I think she's lonely.
She's doing it again.

Moogles appear.

She climbs down to them.
Eiko: You can't break the seal of the Iifa Tree without calling an eidolon.
Zidane: You're coming with us?
Eiko: Don't you want me to?
Zidane: Of course I want you to come along!
Eiko: That's what I thought. Okay, I'll join your team for a while!
Eiko: Vivi, Dagger, let's have fun!
Eiko: The Iifa Tree is beyond the Conde Petie Mountain Path!
(Eiko): Let's go!
She runs.
Dagger: Why are you so nice to everyone, Zidane?
Zidane: Huh? What do you mean by that?
Dagger: Forget I asked...
She follows.
Vivi: I think she was mad...
Zidane: You think so, too?
Morrison (flies in): Please look after Lady Eiko. Come see us if there is any trouble.
Zidane: Sure thing!
Zidane: Vivi, have you figured out a solution to your problem?
(Vivi): Not really.
Vivi: But I'm moving on.
