This is the first time I'm writing a fanfiction so please be gentle but harsh with your reviews. This story is about how i thought FFX-2 should be and thus decided to write it down for those who were disappointed with the game or Yuna character in the game. Please review after reading. Disclaimer : I do not own any of the characters nor the game. Sorry about having this chapter showing the international ending. The next chapter will be original and better i promise.

The hurtful memories clung to her as she stared out into the ocean. Again the flashback of the scene on the airship coursed through her mind. Through it had been 2 long lonely years, the pain still clung along with the regret of not being able to hold him, feel him one last time. Through Lulu and Wakka had repeatedly told her that one person death in exchange for the world's happiness was worth the trade, she could not see the truth in their words or the conviction in their voices. Wiping away the tears that came lesser and lesser each day, she took a gasp of air and once again felt the flush of water all around her face.
38,39,40,41...Unable to hold on anymore, Yuna burst out of the water with nothing but a desire for air and a smile on her face.2 minutes and 41 seconds, a new record. Happy that she could finally hold her breath underwater she was distracted by Wakka whom had, as usual come to remind her. Drenched, her feet felt stones and pebbles till a few minutes where she felt the sand underneath her feet on the shore.
"Getting pretty good at holding your breath, ya?"Wakka praised.
"I am almost as good as you, Wakka" replied Yuna enthusiastically.
Wakka then came out with a feeble excuse of not practising as Yuna poked his belly causing a squeak to appear.
"And you're not the one even having the baby!" waved away Yuna. Wakka then turned and ran off leaving Yuna alone by herself on the beach.
Yuna shifted and turned to the ocean where she started speaking. "It's been two years since then. I can hold my breath underwater for two whole minutes now. It takes more than just physical strength, there's a few tricks to it that you need to figure out. I didn't understand when it was explained in words, but after a lot of practise, I finally got it. I'd never thought there was any kind of trick to it. I couldn't afford to think about anything back then…The Eternal Calm. It's my two minutes and forty one seconds and Wakka's pudgy stomach. It's not much, just a quiet kind of happiness." She then turned and walked inland to Besaid.

Yuna stood on the ship that Rikku had arrived on. She thought back on the fuzzy images she had just seen on the sphere and hesitated. The memory of him caused her to make an impulsive decision of following Rikku. Through she wanted to search for him, she should have at least waited for Lulu... and now even if she went hunting for spheres, what good would it do?
Closing her eyes she pushed her thoughts away and decided she would only worry about it when the time came. Light shone into her eyes again as she saw the ship sailing to Mount Gagazet.
