A/N – This is based at the end of FFX. If you have not reached that point
of the game, then you will have no idea what I'm talking about, if you're 3
quarters through, you'll know somewhat what I'm talking about. All of the
characters are part of Squaresoft, and all of this plot is my idea! Thanks!
Please review!
Chapter 1 ~ The Goodbye
Tidus stood on the outside of the airship. Auron was gone, yet Rikku, Wakka, Kimarhi, Lulu, and Yuna stood there before him, in awe. He was fading away before them, because he was a dream of the fayth.
"I have to go now Yuna," he repeated, fading away slowly. "I'm sorry…I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand. I have to go." He was standing near the very edge of the airship, and the thought that he might jump off was very frightening to Yuna. Wakka looked very confused, and managed to say, "What?" Rikku looked terrified, and said "Tidus! No!" Lulu stood, moogle doll in her arms, tears filling in her eyes. Kimahri looked very serious, as usual, but the verge of crying was threatening him with every look at Tidus.
"No!" Yuna cried, attempted to run into his arms. She ran as fast as she could, ran harder, with her heart pounding. She didn't want him to leave, not after all the moments they had together. She didn't want the star of the Zanarkand Abes, her very own guardian, to leave her. She ran with dignity, with strength – and missed.
She went right through Tidus, who stood there, confused, puzzled, and worried, not wanting to die, but ready to leave forever.
"I'm sorry, Yuna – I'm sorry everybody," he apologized, as he faded away even more. He helped Yuna up, managing to be able to touch her, and for his last few moments on Spira, he held Yuna. She whispered, "I love you" just as the last of his real self faded, and he walked through her, said "Goodbye" one last time, and jumped off of the airship. As he flew, tears sped upwards towards the airship because of all the speed. The tears splashed onto Yuna's face among her other tears, and as Tidus high-fived his father's hand in the farplane, everything came down with it.
**********************************************************
Yuna's face was filled with tiny beads of sweat. She opened her eyes, startled. For the third time since her speech in Luca Stadium, she had remembered the words, the feelings, the expressions, the motions. She had recalled everything…and she didn't want to. She wanted his arms around her, holding her safe, congratulating her on finally defeating Sin, Yu Yevon, Seymour, and everything with it. He had been there for every single battle, been there whenever they were in trouble, always managed to make her laugh, always seemed near, even if all that was left of him was his whistle…
She felt hot tears running down her face, overlapping the ones she had before she went to sleep. She was happy – she had saved Spira. She had given the people of Spira the calm for all eternity. Tidus was where he belonged, with his father, Jecht. But she couldn't help feeling sad. And no matter how much Wakka said she should move on, no matter how Lulu said she should worry about other things, no matter how much Rikku joked about him being gone (in a good way), and no matter how much Kimahri stayed silent, she couldn't get rid of the thoughts in her mind. She couldn't forget the way he laughed, the way he walked, the way he talked, his blonde hair, his burly body, the way he said, "Let's blitz!", or the way he whistled.
"I want him back with me," Yuna said out loud, not caring who heard. "I want Tidus to be here beside me, telling me there's no reason to cry. I want him here!"
In the other bed in the room, Wakka grunted. "No, no, no! Shoot! Ya!"
Yuna chuckled a bit but she stifled and began to sob. Tidus – the Zanarkand Abes. Why wasn't he here with her? "Because he was a dream," she told herself. "A dream of the fayth. Why couldn't I be a dream too?"
Her eyes drooped, and she fell asleep, lost in her thoughts. She dreamt of Tidus being in her arms, telling her everything was all right, then he took her to Zanarkand, and he played a fantastic game, scoring 7 goals by using the Jecht Shot. Jecht was also in the crowd watching them, as well as Lord Braska, and Auron…and all the people sent or killed (excluding Yunalesca, Seymour, and all the bad).
*****************************************************
"Yuna!" a voice said, shaking her awake. The voice had a strong Jamaican accent on it. "Yuna? We have to go to a press conference, deciding how things are gonna be run. You gotta wake up, ya?"
Yuna groaned, and finally decided to open her eyes.
"Wow, your eyes, they're pitch red," Wakka said, dumbfounded.
Lulu walked up behind Wakka, fully dressed, a cactus doll perched in her arms.
"Come on, Yuna, wake up," scolded Lulu, Kimahri coming up from behind.
"Yuna not feeling well. Kimahri go away," and he dispersed.
"Look, Yuna, I know you're sad about Tidus dying, but we all are, ya? And we can't do anything about it. So how about you move on?" Wakka asked, looking very concerned.
"Leave her alone," Rikku told him, the last member of the group. She was Yuna's cousin, since Rikku's father Cid was Yuna's uncle. "She's all right to be upset. She loved him, you know? Stop making Yunie feel bad!"
Wakka scratched his head guiltily. "Sorry."
Lulu sighed and changed the subject. "You've got to go to a press conference to decide what you're going to do first to rebuild the world. So please, get up!"
Yuna stood up, her eyes very puffy. "Okay. I'm up." She got up, and with a quick sigh, went to the washroom. She went to wash her face, but the soap and water didn't stop her face from being red. "Why am I so concerned about Tidus?" she thought aloud. "He's gone…forever." After getting dressed, she went out onto the balcony of the hotel, taking a deep breath. It was good to get fresh air, especially since she was usually trapped with depressing thoughts, and had no time to breath. She noticed a pigeon sitting on the ground of the balcony, and Yuna looked at it curiously. It took off in flight, and Yuna noticed a blue sphere underneath it.
She looked at it stunned, for about a minute, before it finally struck her that she could actually pick it up and see what kind of sphere it was. She crouched down low, and, making sure that no one was coming, carefully picked up and examined it. It appeared new, and looked as though it had never been viewed before.
She activated it, and immediately tears flooded in her eyes. An image of Tidus stood there, sitting in the room of Cid's airship.
"Hey Yuna, I don't know when or where you'll be watching this," Tidus began, looking very sad yet determined. "But I know that wherever you are, you're safe and that all evil is out of this world. I know that I'll be by your side every step of the way, but you've got to understand that afterwards, I've GOT to go. I don't want to, and I don't really know why, but I got to… I'm a dream of the fayth. I was sent into this world to defeat Sin, Yu Yevon, and stop the dreaming. And I'm going to do that. With your help. I didn't even know that I was a "dream", it felt like I was a normal kid, or just a star of the Zanarkand Abes – I had no idea that I was this sort of "dream". And you know what, Yuna? I wish I never was. Because then, I wouldn't have to make this sphere. Because I'd be right beside you, telling you congratulations. And if I wasn't a dream, I'd probably propose to you after we beat Yu Yevon, but I now know, more than ever, that it wasn't meant to be. But you know what? You can move on. I know you can. I love you, and I know that you love me too, but remember – I'll always be a part of your heart. Dream or no dream, I'll always be there, in your thoughts, mind, and I hope you're heart as well. I'm sorry that I couldn't show you Zanarkand – maybe Cid can show it to you. I'm sorry you couldn't watch a game of me playing with the Zanarkand Abes – maybe you can just picture it in your mind. I'm sorry. But no matter how many times I say I'm sorry, nothing will change. I love you, Yuna. Always remember that. No matter what happens, I'll be with you every step of the way, human or dream. Please, remember me as well. Goodbye."
Tidus' face faded, and it reminded Yuna of when he disappeared. But she urged herself not to think about that, and this time it worked. She tucked the sphere safely into the back of her dress, making sure it wouldn't fall out. She stood up and walked out of the hotel room, ready to go to the press conference. And she wouldn't think about Tidus and his death once. For he was alive with her – every step of the way.

Hello, I know this is REALLY short, but this is just like a mini-prologue, or an introduction, if you will. The second chapter will talk about Tidus and where he is, but it won't be from his POV, okay? I don't really like POV (Point Of Views) so I'm not using them. Please stay tuned and review…I know this is not great right now, and it just looks like a major sob-fest, but it's not, I assure you. Thanks!
Great-plague-Darin I know this is short, because I just started! Sorry about the disappointment! Please…please…stay tuned!
