The story of two lovers re-united… Yuna and Tidus A Lifetime Together
Chapter one: Glimmer of Hope
"We did it!" An excited, perky, bubbly, bright, blonde called out after jumping up and down with glee. But this usually perky young girl had a perfectly reasonable reason to be perky this time around, for this was day was something to be proud of.
Yuna heard Rikku, but couldn't let go of the feeling that was grasping her tight. The feeling of two lovers who had such a sad yet strong story, it still lived within her.
"Lenne and Shuyin really love each other don't they...?" Yuna couldn't help but mumble under her breath; she had to admit that seeing them together only brought back painful memories and fears that she might never experience a lifetime with the one she truly loved most, or even ever get to see his beautiful face one more time.
"You're thinking about him again..." Rikku said her head dropping a little. "Yunie, you have to let him go, you got the whole of Spira wanting to land one with you, I'm sure Tidus is happy where-ever he is! Don't you think he would want you to be happy too?" Rikku said shaking her head in annoyance. Rikku only wanted the very best for Yuna she really did, but it would break the Al Bhed's heart to see her forget the face of the man she loved most.
"But I can only be truly happy with him… I don't want anyone else I just want…" Yuna could see she was letting out too much of her emotions and all she ever did was trouble everyone else with her emotions so she simply sighed not finishing her sentence. She didn't want to be that girl anymore. All her travels with Rikku and Paine only were for him after all, never for herself. She would let it go.
"I'm sorry, something bad happened in your past Yuna, but you know we both have to let our past go." Paine smile wisely placing a comforting hand on her shoulder.
Yuna looked up trying to look happy in able to not worry her cherished friends. Because Paine was right, she had to get on with her life someday. But Yuna was living her life, she was having a hell of a time in the Gullwings, and to look on the bright side they had just saved the world… again but the only difference is you aren't here this time… Yuna thought to herself.
"I know, we actually beat Vegnagun!" Yuna said gleefully, pausing as she felt a strange vibe. "But now another adventure unfolds… and this is getting back, where are we?" Yuna panicked as she saw the world start to change around her, then fade, then once again come back into focus. Yuna's head spun as the world around her changed when finally the soft delicate scenery of the farplane started to come into view. Yuna noticed the farplane start to come into view.
"What's happening?" Rikku called out crawling herself into a ball as everything started to come into focus.
"Be on your guard!" Paine called drawing her sword. She knew very well the traps they had encountered before and she wasn't about to let her guard down anytime soon.
Slowly the images around them, all came into view and Yuna could definitely make out were she was yep! Yuna thought we are back in the farplane why can't I just get this place out of my head!
Yuna couldn't say that the farplane wasn't beautiful but to her it was a place full of sadness ever since the day, she had heard him whistle…
Her thoughts were suddenly interrupted as she heard that familiar sound she longed to hear everyday once again! Yes him again she heard him whistle! She looked up to see if she could see him any where, but she wasn't greeted by any image of him, only by loneliness sadness and emptiness, she felt her eyes start to sting and shook her head violently determined to hold her tears in. Why must I always do this to myself! She thought I lead myself to believe he will be coming back, when there is the slightest glimmer of hope, only to be disappointed even further.
"Yuna...!" Paine called out in shock as she saw pyreflies start to merge into a small figure dancing with light behind Yuna.
Yuna turned around, with Paine's worried warning to see someone standing in front of her; she smiled as she realized who it was. A fayth, just who she wanted to see, another reminder of all her loss.
"Thank you Yuna you saved Spira once again we are most grateful to you." The Fayth thanked Yuna feeling in awe as he glanced up at the beautiful figure that had help put their dreaming to an end.
"You're very welcome." Yuna replied trying not to think about the one she had lost, seeing the fayth had always reminded her of him.
Yuna looked up in shock as she was broken from her small conversation with the fayth; once again she had heard his whistle and her heart just sank, what was happening? Must she always be lifted higher with each sound of him to once again be taken even lower than before every time she realized she had gotten her hopes up!
"You heard it didn't you?" The fayth's voice cut through the silence as Yuna saw a smirk appear on his face.
"Huh?" was all Yuna could respond with, she was a bit confused to what the fayth was referring to as she had always been the only one to hear the young mans whistle.
"Do you want to see him? Do you want to walk the earth together again?" The fayth asked suddenly, watching the reaction he got from Yuna.
Yuna almost cried at the sound of the statement, she didn't know whether she should let it go, or if she should once again be able to jump into those arms she oh so long to be held in, because no matter what there was always the chance that he would leave her again alone in a world, empty without him. Yuna blurted the answer she couldn't hold back any longer!
"Oh please yes!"
"Of course we can't promise anything but we will do our best!" The fayth whispered reassuringly.
Yuna felt her heart once again sink but she nodded gratefully.
Back in Spira Nooj, Gippal and Baralai had all asked Yuna to join them as they made their speech to Spira. But Yuna disagreed politely; it was time for her to go home! All giddy and happy that she was about to return to Besaid she turned around and gave Paine and Rikku a high five. She felt blessed that she had friends all around her smiling brightly, no worries on their shoulders. That freedom had come with the eternal calm and Yuna appreciated the Leaders understanding of her wanting to return home after a tiring and heartbreaking journey. The three men understood and proceeded to the celebration. The leaders gave their courageous speech on life and friends, not forgetting to thank lady for saving Spira once again, which everyone knew was Yuna. The airship rose in the air and brother yelled out some stupid lines which made the whole crowd cheer. Yuna waved to the people and sat on the deck with Rikku and Paine her most trusted friends.
"Did we really have to leave like that? Just think of the party we'll be missing out on." Rikku giggled on top of the airship wondering why Paine and Yuna and ever convinced her to lose out on the party.
"Don't you think we party enough?" Paine retorted smiling superiorly at Rikku who sighed and rolled her eyes, but Yuna could see a hint of a true warm friendly smile forming on Paine's beautiful face Rikku must have earned respect points.
Yuna giggled at the two, Paine had grown so much more on this journey opening herself up to both herself and Rikku. Somehow Yuna felt proud to own her trust.
Yuna couldn't ignore the feeling inside of her such excitement and happiness and she motioned to brother to go faster and higher as they sped across the ocean to return to Besaid!
