The Summer Supplement

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing...And if I did, I wouldn't be typing fan fictions of it...

Also, if you have not read "A Foreign Home", I highly recommend that you do. After all, this is basically just a continuation of it. The only reason I didn't put it with the story is because I don't want it to be completely associated with the story itself. I will only say all of this once.

Well, I've decided that I might as well do a summer supplement kind of thing, as kind of a Part IV of the story. It's not really a sequel, but yet...Hm...I don't know, it's not really a part of "A Foreign Home". See, I guess I really did plan on the end of Part III of "A Foreign Home" to be the end. No sequel, no nothing. I figured it was time to move on to something else. But, the day before school ended, an idea hit me as to how I could create kind of a supplement–a continuation, if you will. So, at that, I give you Part IV of "A Foreign Home": The Summer Supplement.

I will be concentrating more on my new story which I will be putting up/have put up in mid June. I am typing this on June 3, 2005, but have no idea as to when I will actually post this. For all I know, you may be reading this in July...My apologies then. However, I felt as if I needed to get some ideas down and whatnot before I left for France. (Whooo! France!Ahem, sorry!)

Okay, by now you're probably thinking, "Huh? What's up with the above!" When I started this fiction, I wrote little notes to myself. So, for this chapter, and perhaps the next two, there will be little notes and stuff. You can read them if you'd like, but they're basically notes for myself! I thought you might find it interesting to know what I'm thinking when I type these! In real words though, I decided to go ahead and post this. However, do not expect an update until the nineteenth or twentieth. I already have chapters one through four finished, but I can't upload them 'till I get back from France. My sincerest apologies. So, I hope you enjoy this chapter at least! Go ahead and take your time reading it!

Without further ado, here is the first chapter of Part IV: The Summer Supplement. (Sorry, doesn't that sound like the coolest title?) I hope you enjoy!

Chapter 1: Back to the Beginning

Yuna smiled, and honestly felt like crying. She had tangled the phone chord around her fingers over and over again, waiting for a reply, and she had finally gotten one. It was a simple reply, but it made her very happy. All it was was a lady by the name of Zidana Webs saying: "Yes, you are still welcome at our school. I just need your address and I will send you information. Congratulations, Yuna, you are now a member of the finest dance school in all of Spira. We start in late August."

Yuna couldn't even say thank you. All she could do was smile, as she heard the click of Ms. Webs' phone indicating that she had hung up. Slowly, Yuna hung the phone up to.

"I take it that went well?" a voice said, causing Yuna to jump. She turned around and saw Tidus, leaning against the counter. She blushed, realizing that she had been so into her conversation with Zidana Webs that she had completely forgotten that he was standing there.

"Yes!" Yuna said, smiling widely, "I start in August!"

"August! That means you're free, all summer," Tidus said, "I can't say I'm not jealous."

Yuna's smile fell a little, but she picked it up again and said, "Tidus, just how much do you have to play now that you're with the Abes?"

"Not all that much," Tidus said, smiling also, "But at least every weekend, and we've got practice Monday through Thursday for two hours or more."

"Yeah, that kind of sucks," Yuna said, and turned her attention to the window. She smiled even wider and ran over to it, dazedly staring outside. She was standing in a lovely penthouse apartment, staring over the streets of the city she'd always dreamed of. The machina buildings that went against every thing she believed in (or at least, everything she had believed in) rose above her even yet, although she was high up to begin with. Buildings were everywhere, and she figured it was only a matter of time before she would get lost. She smiled though, welcoming the thought of being lost in such a beautiful city.

There was no Yevon in Zanarkand. There was no Al Bhed, no Guado, no Ronso, no nothing. Everybody was just everybody. Everybody did as they pleased, believed in what they pleased. Yuna sighed dreamily, and realized she could stare out that window forever.

She was feeling so dreamy and out of it, that she barely noticed Tidus come up behind her and wrap his arms around her waist.

"What do you think?" he asked, lying his head on her shoulder.

"It's so gorgeous," Yuna just said, "I could stay here forever."

"Good, 'cause you'll be here–what–four years at least?"

Yuna's smile slowly faded. Tidus and her had arrived in Zanarkand very late the night before, just as the sun was rising. Tidus had brought her where she stood now, which was a place like all of Zanarkand's blitzers lived. Then, she had gone to bed, and had awaken, and had finally called Ms. Webs. Still...Something was bothering her about staying all summer, but she didn't know what. Not only that, but she still felt like she had unfinished business in Bevelle.

"Yes, four years," Yuna said, after some time of silence had passed, "But...Tidus...I think I should go back."

"What?" Tidus said, unwrapping his arms and walking to her side, as if to get a good look at her face. Perhaps he thought she was kidding.

Yuna looked away from him, and back out the window, and said, "I feel like I left too suddenly. I mean...There's some things I feel like I've left behind."

"Look Yuna, if it's about me not letting you pack every single item you owned yesterday, I'm sorry. We can go shopping today if you want. Hell, I'll even–."

"It's not that," Yuna said, "It's like...Like there's something I still need to do; something I still need to get."

"Like what?" Tidus asked.

"I guess...I don't feel at peace with my father," Yuna finally finished, "Or my cousin Rikku. I mean...There's probably others I've wronged too..."

"Come on Yuna, when are you going to stop worrying about them?" Tidus said, looking defeated.

"Tidus, they're my family! I...I need to fix things between us."

"So what, you're going to leave today?"

"No, not today..." Yuna said, "But soon. Maybe after the weekend. After all," Yuna threw on a smile, "I want to see you play blitzball."

Tidus didn't smile back at her for a while, but finally smiled and said, "I'll make sure it's a hell of a game. Just for you."

"Good, I expect your best!" Yuna said.

"So...How long will you stay then?"

Yuna looked away from Tidus, and said, "Honestly, I'd like to return as soon as possible."

"As soon as possible?" Tidus said, looking shocked, "Why as soon as possible? Can't you at least stay the weekend?"

"I really think I should get back," Yuna said, "But I'll be sure to come and visit."

Defeated, Tidus asked, "What if your dad won't like...own you anymore?"

"He has to," Yuna said, "Besides, the whole purpose of me going back is to make things better. Tidus...I can't just leave everything I've always known. I just can't."

Tidus stared at her for a long time, looking in thought, before he finally sighed and said, "I guess you'll do as you please."

Yuna put on a smile and threw her arms around Tidus, although it was a while before he returned the embrace.

"Well then, if you're gonna leave," Tidus said, pulling away from her, "We might as well enjoy ourselves while we can."

Yuna smiled and nodded in agreement.

So at that, Tidus offered her his arm, and told her they would see all that Zanarkand had to offer–and all it one night.

"What did you think of the city?" Tidus asked with a yawn.

It was about ten o'clock at night, and the two were just returning.

"It's gorgeous," Yuna said, "I almost can't wait until summer is over."

"You're not really staying down there all summer, are you?" Tidus asked, as he yawned again.

"I'll stay as long as it takes," Yuna answered. Honestly, she had no idea how long she was planning on staying. She was also too tired to think. After all, she had been up most of the night before, and it was already growing late...Or at least, she supposed it felt very late.

"I'm going to bed," Tidus said then, "I got practice tomorrow."

"I'm going to bed, too," Yuna said, and grabbed her bag that had her bed stuff in it and went into the bathroom to get ready for bed.

As for Tidus, he simply threw his shirt off and exited into his bedroom. That was about all the blitzer had to do.

Yuna got ready for bed and climbed in next to Tidus, who appeared to be already fast asleep, which upset her slightly. She had wanted to talk to him...

Sighing, Yuna turned away from him, and had just closed her eyes when she was forced to reopen them because Tidus had turned and placed his arm around her. She smiled as he kissed her cheek, and she then looked over her shoulder to see him smiling mischievously.

"Tidus," Yuna said, still smiling, "I have to go to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow.."

"Ah, come on," Tidus just said, "I'll drive you back."

"Tidus," Yuna said, "You have practice."

"So...I'll skip it."

"I don't think so," Yuna said, but in reply Tidus just kissed her cheek again.

"You could at least return my kisses," Tidus said, and looked as if waiting for her to kiss him.

"Nope. I'm going to sleep," Yuna just said, concealing a smile.

"Fine then, be that way," Tidus said, which forced Yuna to quickly kiss him, although he wasn't prepared.

Tidus fell back, and the two kissed for some time.

Yuna honestly had wanted to go to bed. She knew she had to leave the next morning, and that there was no way she would allow Tidus to miss his practice to take her. So, she pulled away from him, and expressed these feelings.

"Not even for like ten more minutes?" Tidus complained, as he lay on his back and stared at the ceiling.

"Nope, that's ten minutes of sleep we'll lose!" Yuna said, although she dreadfully didn't want to stop. She didn't want to stop ever.

"Aw, come on Yuna, don't be a sore loser," Tidus said, giving her a cheeky smile. The phone rang then, causing Tidus to moan.

"There's more coming," Tidus just said, and stood up, "So you better kiss your ten minutes goodbye while you can!" He sprinted off to the phone then, leaving Yuna by herself.

Yuna sat up and sighed, wondering if what Tidus said was true. Finally, she laid back down with a satisfied smile, hoping it was indeed true. Ten more minutes of bliss...Maybe twenty...Maybe thirty...

"Hey Yuna?"

Tidus' voice suddenly snapped her out of her thoughts, and Yuna sat back up. She could just see Tidus' silhouette standing in the doorway.

"Yeah?" Yuna said.

"Um...I have to go to a...an emergency blitzball practice. I...I guess we're going to practice now, 'cause...um...we can. So, I'll see you in the morning, okay?"

"Oh...okay," Yuna said, as her heart sank. She saw Tidus' silhouette grab his shirt, and then she heard the door open and then shut, signifying that he had left.

Sighing, Yuna laid back down, and faced Tidus' empty side of the bed.

"Oh well, it's probably for the better," Yuna then mumbled under her breath, and in no time at all, she was fast asleep.
