This takes place immediately after FFX-2's perfect ending. Assuming you have played 10-2, I recommend re watching the ending because I pick up as soon as they stopped talking. Also, disclaimer, I do not own Final Fantasy and I don't intend to sell this fan fiction. Final Fantasy belongs to Square Enix.

Chapter I: Too Good to be True

"Hey Yuna?" Tidus said swimming in the water. "You gonna leave me here? Now that we know that I won't disappear, let's sleep!"

"Tidus..." Yuna responded. "You're right, we should talk more in the morning."

They set up a room for Tidus in Besaid. Tidus almost immediately went to sleep.

"You must have had a long day, huh?" Yuna said to the sleeping Tidus. "I just... I just don't want you t-to disappear. I hope- no, I know you won't... I just want to make sure."

"Yuna! It's late, time for bed, ya?" Wakka said as he entered the room. "Don't worry, he'll still be here in the morning."

"Yes... your right. Good night Wakka." Yuna said.

As Wakka left the room Yuna had to say good night to Tidus too.

"Good night Tidus... be here tomorrow ok?" She said as she felt his face. She took Tidus's hands and put them on hers. Then, she bent over and kissed Tidus. "I... I love you..."

-4 hours later-

Without anyone knowing Tidus's body faded away from his bed just as it did once before. He appeared in a familiar place. "It's you! I'm here in dream Zanarkand again aren't I?" He said to a young looking boy. He was the fayth of Bahamut.

"Yes." the fayth replied.

"Why am I here. Is this... a dream." Tidus questioned.

"Yes, that is, you are. Yet you aren't. That is why you could be brought back. But you yourself are not dreaming like before. I brought you here. We are neighter in Spira nor the farplane. Rather somewhere between." The fayth answered.

"Wait," Tidus started with worry in his voice, "I can go b-back right?"

"I'm sorry. I can't dream this dream forever. I alone am the reason you exist. Your father is in the farplane. That is the only place I can send you without dreaming."

"No! Please! I-I need to go back... can't you just dream a bit longer?" Tidus exclaimed.

"I need to recharge my energy. I can give you one day. Then, once the sun sets, you will have a choice. Become non existent for a year while I regain my energy, or forever rest in the farplane. You went there, to the farplane. If only for a bit do you remember?"

Tidus thought for a second and remembered what had happened to him after he jumped off the edge and faded away.

"Why can't I be in the farplane for a year?" Tidus asked.

"You were still my dream when I left you there in the farplane. I was still dreaming for two weeks, keeping you from being dead because... I couldn't bear watch someone who was more than a dream just die. Your father was already dead so I left him there but I turned you into nothingness for almost two years." The fayth answered.

"Oh, so that must be why I instantly went from dead to two years in the future, alive and well in an instant? That wasn't too bad."

"You are being a bit selfish don't you think? Your father, Auron, and everyone who loves you in the farplane would have seen you disappear for two years. But do not worry, they can see you when you are in Spira, living. They can see all the living from the farplane."

"... I really don't see a choice. Yuna isn't dead so I have to see her. I choose the second option. Just... let me tell everyone first."

"Good luck Tidus. Your day starts now!" The fayth said.

Tidus started to disappear and return to Besaid. He was in his bed and it was very early in the morning. "Just one day huh... well. I guess I'll be gone for a year so no need to waste time sleeping!" Tidus told himself. He knew it would be a while before anyone would see him again so he would make the most out of the one day he had.

He went to Yuna's room and woke her up. "Hey Yuna! Wake up! I have something to tell you."

Yuna seemed wide awake despite the early hour. "Yes Tidus! What is it?"

"I can't st-" Something inside Tidus stopped him from telling Yuna. He couldn't make Yuna grieve any longer.

"Tidus, what were you saying?" Yuna said, snapping Tidus from his thoughts.

"I uh... I can't stay asleep... I want to make every second with you to count." He said as Yuna looked at him with sad eyes.

"Tidus... you're a bad liar, you know. I though... I thought that maybe after everything we went through you could be honest with me... I-I-" She started to tear up.

"Yuna I'm sorry! Please don't cry. Please don't be angry with me!" Tidus said apologetically.

"Then tell me the truth!" Yuna said instantly going from tears to anger. Her face glowed red. She now sat upright on her bed.

"I can't Yuna. Not yet... please just wait. I'll... I'll tell you at sun down." Tidus reached out to touch Yuna's shoulder but Yuna pushed it away.

"Don't touch me... don't touch me until you tell me the truth!" She pushed Tidus out of her room and locked the door.

Lulu had been watching the whole thing. "What is the truth?" she said half startling Tidus.

"I... I can't tell her because if she knew then... she would be sad. I didn't to make her sad but I made her sad anyway. I can't do anything right." Tidus said with a weak voice.

"You can't stay can you." Lulu said.

"Your right." Tidus went on to explain his late night encounter with the fayth.

Lulu said, "You have to tell her. She loves you Tidus. She is hurting if she is mad at you."

"I can't! I don't know why, I just can't! I'll just tell her after I tell everybody."

"Just make sure you tell her before its too late."

Tidus went around the entire village and told everybody.

"Oh Tidus... you just came home and your leaving so soon. It just isn't fair, you know?" Rikku, who was visiting for a couple days, had said to him.

"But you'll be back in a year, ya? We'll wait for you, I promise!" Wakka had said.

Pretty soon everyone knew already. It was only 9 AM. "I need to tell Yuna know. I can do this. I'll be back in a year. She'll not be to sad... I hope."

Yuna had locked herself in her room all morning. She could be heard crying softly. It was if she knew Tidus would have to go soon. She had just gotten him back and she didn't want him to leave again.

"Y-Yuna? It's me, Tidus... can I come in?" Tidus asked.

"Are you ready to tell me the truth?" She responded.

"Yes. I promise. And... I-I'm sorry for upsetting you Yuna. I should have told you before. I wanted to but... It wouldn't come out for some reason." Tidus heard Yuna unlock the door slowly. Tidus opened the door just as slowly. Yuna was a mess. Her hair was sticking out and her cheeks wet from crying. Tidus explained to Yuna what he had agreed upon with the fayth. "Yuna I'm so sorry I didn't tell you befo-" He stopped when Yuna hugged him. He saw Yuna's tears. He himself started to tear up. He couldn't stand Yuna being so sad. He bent down and kissed Yuna. They fell into her bed and continued to kiss and lovingly touched each other.

-At sundown-

"Well... I guess this is goodbye?" Tidus said to everyone.

"No." Yuna said. "This is only farewell. See you in a year."

Tidus had begun to disappear. He kissed Yuna one last time while he could still touch her. Once he couldn't feel her anymore all he said were 4 words. "I love you, Yuna."

Yuna softly whispered, "I love you too.

Everyone waved him off as he slowly disappeared.

"Now, now Yuna," Lulu said to a sad looking Yuna, "It's only a year. He'll be back."
