Eh heh heh. My silly attempt to write something. I hope you enjoy it :D This would be Chapter 1 - The Rebirth. ^^ Enjoy!
"Should the dreaming end, you too will disappear. Fade into Spira's sea, Spira's sky.. But do not weep nor rise in anger. Even we were once human. That is why we must dream. Let us summon a new dream in a new dream world.... A new sea for you to swim in."
Beneath the water's surface, a man surrounded by pyreflies floated while holding himself tightly together. The man lifted his head slowly and sighed with much relief. Noticing that he was underwater, he swam to the surface, with a smile on his face. He had every reason to be happy. He was alive.
The pyreflies followed behind Tidus, leaving a soft glowing trail. He then reached the surface, gasping for air. It felt like he had never breathed before in his entire life. And when he opened his eyes above the water, it felt like he was seeing everything for the first time.
The surroundings were very peculiar to him. Tidus had no idea of his location nor where he was supposed to be. His memory was like a distant land that he had yet to venture to. He was not without memories but unable to remember all of them... or so it seemed. It was like he had forgotten everything and was reborn as some new entity.
A thought struck Tidus's mind. Yuna. His soul purpose for living. With this, he swam over to the bank of the sea and waded out. He shook his head rapidly, much like a dog would do. Tiny droplets of water formed at the edges of his wild hair. Two azure blue eyes looked from side to side, sucking in the new surrounding. Somehow, it seemed hauntingly familiar to him.
The area was surrounded by pyreflies. The trees were opalescent and full of radiance and beauty. Overall, the area was a subtle blue and filled with winding branches. Tidus then spoke without even knowing himself.
"Macalania.." He grinned a bit, proud to know where he was. With this, he began to walk up one of the twisting branches, hoping to find an exit from the woods and hopefully, some help. Tidus felt slightly weak and knew he wouldn't last very long without some assitance.

A gust of wind blew by and pushed the young woman's brown lockes from her face and rustled her pleated navy skirt. She had her fingers brought to her lips and was whistling with compassion. Her eyes, one of green and the other blue, were fully determined and obviously searching.
"Yuna..." A woman clad in grey and an assortment of belts approached her, "Whistling is futile. It will only bring back memories.." Yuna turned to the woman and smiled.
"I don't want to forget them, Lulu. I have to keep trying. He said he'd always come whe-" Lulu immediately interrupted her by holding a finger delicately against Yuna's lips.
"He's gone, Yuna. And nothing you do will make him come back." Lulu turned around, her braids' beads clicking together. She walked away, leaving Yuna alone to cope with her loss.
"It's been.. so long, Tidus. Please... Come back.." Yuna felt herself choking up inside. She rubbed her eyes and looked back over the clear blue ocean that was rolling in and out on the beach of Besaid. Yuna knew that the sea changed and there was nothing definite in the world. But she couldn't help but hope for him to come back to her.
Yuna then turned on her heels and slightly jogged back towards the village. She ran up to Lulu and placed a hand on her bare shoulder.
"So.. How are you and Wakka?" She said with a smile. Lulu sighed and shook her head.
"Nothing will replace Chap.." The two girls reached the entrance to the village. Wakka saw them and waved enthusiastically. Lulu laughed a bit, "But.. I guess their are other alternatives." Yuna smiled. It was good to know people were moving on from 'back then'. ".... 'Back then.' But why am I not moving on? Why can't I get over the past?"
She sighed heavily. Lulu then turned to Yuna, obviously concerned, "Something wrong, Yuna?" Yuna shook her head quickly in reply.
"Well if there's anything I can do, just let me know. Okay?" The two shared a somewhat intimate connection. Yuna knew she could always depend on Lulu for anything. She was so thankful to have a sister-like figure to depend on.
"Oi, Yuna!" Wakka jogged over to them, huffing slightly. Across Yuna's face, a mischievous grin appeared. With an extended finger, she poked his enlarging stomach. Wakka shooed her away.
"Com'on, Yuna!" Wakka looked annoyed while the grin on Yuna's face had transformed to a big smile filled with delight.
"Getting a tad pudgey, are we not, Wakka?" Lulu held her hand to her forehead, escaping a slight snicker from her lips. She knew more about Wakka's eating problems than Yuna ever would. It was because of Tidus. The new brother that he had lost. Though the situation was not proper to laugh at, she couldn't help but smile, seeing Yuna brush off the past so easily. "How fortunate she is. To forget something so suddenly as it had never happened." And this was far from the truth.
"Well, Wakka, we're going to have to moderate your diet!" Yuna exclaimed with a grin. Though inside, she felt like she could scream.

Tidus reached the edge of the woods and the entrance to the metropolis of Spira - Bevelle. He could hear the bustling already of the marketplace.
"Maybe I can find something here.. Some sort of idea of where Yuna might be." Tidus then stopped suddenly. "What would I say to her? 'Hi! It's me - Tidus! Oh you know.. back then...' ...No. That won't work." He sighed deeply.
"How.. strange... What to say, what to say..."
Crack! He jumped suddenly and whirled around to see what made the noise. There, a blonde haired girl was standing. She was filled with more energy than he had ever seen.
"TIDUUUSSS!?!?" The girl cried out. His thoughts, though slow at first, registered who it was before him. Rikku. He smiled, feeling very relieved to recognize someone.
"Tidus!" She ran up to him and hugged him tightly. Rikku then pulled away.
"What are you doing here!? Are you real!?" She pinched him. He retracted a bit, holding his now red forearm.
"Yup, it's me." He grinned [author's note: that trademark grin we love oh-so-much].
"I can't belive it! It really is you! What are you doing here? Did you really disappear? How'd you come back? Where'd you come from!?" Tidus laughed and scratched the back of his head he thought to himself: "I don't even know the answer to those questions.."
"I just kinda.. appeared.. in Macalania. I guess that's all I really know." He stopped suddenly, trying to figure it out himself. Breaking the tension, he reached over and rustled her hair. She laughed and knocked his hand away.
"You thought I'd leave you guys? Hah! Never!" Tidus smiled. It felt so good to be back.
