I'm not quite sure how to explain what those two years were like. On one hand, time seemed to just slip by like water poured over a person's hands. It felt like one minute I was watching Yuna and the others, wishing I could say goodbye but not having the time, the next, I was in Besaid, hugging her. But the time I was there, in the Farplane, seemed to last forever. I felt like the next time I saw Yuna, she'd be all grown up, a wizened old lady with many grandkids.

During that time I got to know a few people quite well. My old man was one of them. I can't say that we talked really. Being in the Farplane is weird. You don't really have a solid form unless someone's there for you. Instead, it's like you're spread out everywhere.

And, you can hear the living. You can't see them, unless they come to the place, but you can hear their words. I heard every one of her whistles. Each time, I fought to try and go to her and each time, well, except the last, I failed.

I also learned the real truth behind why I was allowed to come back. I'm not allowed to tell anyone which cuts me up inside. When Yuna sent the fayth, she did the right thing. But they still continued on, as we all do. Bahamut informed me that in return for all that she and I had done, they'd grant one wish. They'd grant me life once more.

All the fayth would dream of me and when I died, I would dream as well. I would become the first new fayth. Because, in just a few short hundred years, the fayth and aeons would be needed again. I was told others would be approached when they were on death's door about the same, but I mentioned a word of it all, they would stop dreaming and I would disappear forever.

I want to say the words to warn the others but I can't and won't. I love them too much but I love life as well. So, to protect them and my, I will keep my mouth shut.


A/N: It started out good and ended bad. I have a question for some people out there who read my stuff. I'm putting together a fansite for FFX/X-2. I want to have thing on it though that requires more people than just myself. See, I've seen it done a few times before and want to try it myself. Basically, you write in to your favorite character and then their answers get posted on the site.
PerfectCell17, who writes for DBZ, has something similar called "Ask Veggie" on her site, just in case you wanted an example.

Oh, and I own nothing in this fic.
