Authors' Notes: This story is co-written by Tidus's Lil Angel but is posted under my name. We're taking turns writing the chapters so each one will be written a little differently. The story centers on Tidus & co. but it also includes our original characters Tawny and Kevin. Be sure to read Parallel Universe and Fallen Angel (even though they're not finished) we just thought this might be interesting and fun. Anyway that's all I gots to say about it. Just read and enjoy the first ever FFX co-written story (if I'm wrong then i'm sorry to who ever did it first) WTVR just read and review. ~Kevin
Note: If you're reading my chapters, you will notice the very guy-like mentality. This is because I am a guy and I think like one when I'm writing. So if you don't like guys, then skip my chapters and read Lindsay's although it may get confusing. Also anything marked with *__* the little star thingies is an inner monologue and or memory.

Chapter 1: Hey Girl
As seen from the first person point of view.
So much has happened in the last two years. The threat from Seymour is finally gone. There is a lot of recovery from what he did although he was no Sin. People are generally in good spirits. The only thing causing any sort of civil disobedience, are the riots that almost always go on after blitzball game win, loss, or tie. The police were having a tough time with those and although I'm sure that they would like to see blitzball put on hold for a while to calm things down, it'll never happen.
It was the week after Yuna's marriage but not to Tidus. Some guy named Placeus who I had never heard of. It seemed kind of strange; I had had on of those all too common crushes on Yuna when I first got here. She's got some great genes, can't take that away from her. I knew Tidus was probably feeling the same way. Oh ya that's something I forgot to mention. After Yuna's pilgrimage, me Wakka, and Kimahri went to the Farplane to talk it out with Tidus.
*Yuna was way too emotional for that one.*
When we got there, Tidus showed, not told, us a way to get him back. Long story short we had to travel to this other land across the sea, and find the thing that brought Tidus back, for keeps. Anyway just keep in mind folks that the guy owes me big time.
Unfortunately while we were gone, Yuna up and met that Placeus guy and fell in love, blah, blah, blah, and got married to the little wimp. Doesn't seem fair to me, you know, for Tidus. Then again, not much in life is fair. Yuna was in a pretty tough spot also but she wasn't going to just dump her new husband because Tidus decides he wants out of that everfucking Farplane.
*Tough shit man.*
Anyway, back to current events, I've been shacking up with Rikku for a while now. She'd have my head if she knew I was referring to it as shacking up but that's the best way I know how to say it. No, we haven't done THAT yet but I'll let you know when it happens. It's a good thing that Cid trusts me. I mean after all we are both kinda young even by Spira standards. So I've been spending most of my time at the newly reconstructed Home. This one's a little nicer than the last one. For starters it's not in the middle of the freekin desert and second it's a lot more plush thanks to the generous donations of the people of Spira after Sin was destroyed. I guess they all felt a little guilty for showing their backs to the Al Bhed for so long. Rikku and I got us a nice little apartment, just a floor down from Cid who, being Cid, put his on the top.
*Maybe he doesn't trust me as much as I thought.*
I turn seventeen in three days. Rikku already did, about three months ago. Tidus and Yuna are each almost twenty.
*It's hard to believe that I've been here almost two years.*
Rikku is having a birthday party for me. The invitation was extended to Yuna, Placeus, Tidus, Wakka, Lulu, and Kimahri. Some other people from around Home will be there, Cid is supposed to show up as well, and Tidus is apparently bringing his new *friend*. Rikku was gone hanging out with them for a while. She had actually been gone for a couple of weeks, but she came back like she always does. I don't think I could ever get rid of Rikku even if I wanted to.
I think I love her. Its hard because we're both gone a lot, off doing things around Spira. She helped out Yuna with her wedding and dealing with Seymour and me well, I'm not even supposed to tell you what I've been doing, really secret stuff. Anyway, the little girl of a couple of years ago has done a lot of growing up, mentally, and physically. She still has her perky attitude although she's a little calmer these days, but she still has her little lapses where it seems like she just drank a gallon or two of coffee and the caffeine has got her bouncing off the walls. When that happens she can get pretty unpredictable which makes me like her even more. As far as her body, well Rikku got her wish. She looks more like Lulu every day if you know what I mean. No not quite like that but just enough so that you definitely stop and take notice. She gets a lot of stares.
Placeus and Yuna seem pretty happy. Yuna's got a little one on the way and Placeus is off playing politics. He is the guy put in charge of setting up Spira's new government. He offered me a job as one of his advisors but I declined. I'm not even seventeen yet and he wants m to do more growing up than I'm ready to do. So for right now I'm gonna stay me. All in all though Placeus is a pretty good guy. He comes off kinda geeky sometimes but they guy tries.
Wakka and Lulu, now there's something for ya. They've been together and broken up at least a dozen different times. Mostly due to Wakka saying something stupid and Lulu getting more pissed than necessary. I remember one time I was in a bar with Tidus and a couple of my buddies from Home, and Wakka comes in with Lulu in tow. What happened next was one of the funniest things ever. Not for Wakka and Lulu though. Lulu was having some eye trouble, apparently those eyes of hers weren't her real color after all.
"Hey Wakka how's it goin?" I asked. "These are my friends Grocka and Slaccu."
"Nice to meet ya. Guys this is my girlfriend Lulu." Everyone looks at Lulu and notices her ridiculously large eyeglasses. "She usually wears contacts."
At this Lulu looked at him and slapped him as hard as she could with her moogle.
"What? What did I say this time?" he asked as he rubbed his cheek.
"If you don't know, then I'm certainly not going to tell you." Lulu responded.
*Women, go figure. I never understand 'em.*
Well right now they are 'on again' as they say. Maybe this one will work out better. I doubt it though.
Kimahri, by the way, hooked up with a Ronso female and together, they've 'made' over forty kittens. The guy's a machine. Right now they're living up in the mountain taking care of their enormous litter.
That leaves Tidus. I haven't really talked to him in a while and I'm looking forward to seeing him at the party and catch up on things.
****Two days later****
"Rikku you ready?" I yelled up the stair towards our room.
"Ya, I'll be down in a second."
The occasion called for semi-formal wear, mostly because Rikku loves to get dressed up and she planned the whole thing. I felt sufficiently uncomfortable in my jacket and dark blue khaki's. Rikku also came up with what I was going to wear.
"Can't we just make it casual so I can wear something a little more comfortable." I asked as Rikku helped me put on my clothes.
"No." she responded simply.
"But it's my birthday." I retorted.
"I don't care. You're gonna look nice because I want it to be perfect for you. Ok?" "Alright. You win." I said and then planted a kiss on her.
"You know, if you would have done that before, I might have been inclined to let you wear whatever you wanted."
I began to laugh.
"Why do I never think of these things until you've already said them?"
"It's because I'm smarter than you, sweety." She said innocently. I gave her my fakest pout face and even did the lip.
"Sorry, I am not moved by the lip."
With that I moved in and kissed her again. It started out like all of ours did, but after a minute or two, I parted her lips with my tongue and we began what my friend Grocka calls, "tongue twister." I like that name; it seems fairly apt. When we were done I pulled away and looked at Rikku she let out a small sigh and smiled.
"So you're not moved by the lip huh?" I said giving her my biggest goofy grin.
Rikku just smiled.
"Come on lover boy, let's go downstairs. Everyone will be getting here soon."
*****
Everyone was there except for Tidus but he would show up any minute. The party was actually turning out to be pretty fun. As soon as Yuna walked through the door, Rikku seemed to revert back to her old self and said her usual "Yunie!!!" and ran at her. Placeus almost was knocked over by the flamboyant Rikku as she ran up to greet her cousin.
"Yunie I missed you so much! What have you been up to? How's everything with Placie? Is he treating you ok? How are you feeling? When is the baby do?" Rikku said to Yuna in what seemed like one giant breath.
Yuna looked a little befuddled but finally found some words.
"Yes."
Or maybe just one word. I thought it was hilarious and busted out laughing.
Wakka and Kimahri were digging into the appetizers set out on a small table. Wakka had put on some poundage since he quit blitzball and being a guardian. Kimahri looked like a million bucks.
*I wonder why. The guy gets some every single night. I couldn't do that. I guess it's a benefit of being a Ronso, more stamina.*
Everyone was supposed to show up at seven and it was seven thirty. When I was about to ask if anyone had heard from Tidus when I heard a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it and there stood Tidus in a suit coat like mine but with brown khaki pants on. He looked a little ridiculous. Standing next to him, with her hand in his, was a beautiful blonde haired girl with a pretty black dress on.
"Tidus! Sup, man? Come on in and make yourself at home. Sorry about it being so hot in here but Spira doesn't have very good air conditioning." I said smiling. Tidus laughed and walked in with his "friend" behind him.
"This is Tawny. She's my umm."
"Girlfriend?" I finished for him.
"Ya!"
I walked over to where Tawny was standing and held out my hand.
"Nice to meet ya." I said as she took my hand in hers.
"Nice to meet you too."
"Well make yourself at home and enjoy the party." I said to the pair as they walked in.
Tidus told me all about how he met Tawny and how they fought Seymour together and defeated him. They seemed to click pretty well. I would be lying though if I didn't say I wasn't attracted to Tawny, but it happens. I had Rikku, who I am very happy with, and she had Tidus so nothing would ever happen.
The party was getting a little rowdy around eleven and when Grocka and Slaccu, along with their dates, were smashing things in their drunkenness, I knew that it was time to wind things down. Everyone was a little disappointed to hear that the party was over but I eventually got everyone out of the apartment. The place was a mess and it took Rikku and I a couple of hours to clean it all up. When we were finished I was beat.
"That was a fun night but I'm getting really tired. I'm gonna go to sleep." I said to Rikku as we sat on our couch. I got up and so did she.
"Don't you want to open your present first?" she asked with a strange expression on her face.
"Can't it wait till the morning?" I asked.
Rikku moved towards the door to our bedroom.
"No. This is one present I think that you'll want to open tonight." She said as she motioned with her right pointer finger.
"Who could refuse such a tempting offer." I said with a sly grin on my face.
Since I couldn't think of anybody who would refuse it I followed her into the bedroom.

Ok well there's chapter one. Ya I know it's pretty much a pointless one, but it was necessary to bring you up to date on what's goin on with everybody. If anybody was expecting a lemon out of that one, too bad. I don't write 'em. Besides you can probably do a much better job with your imagine than I could ever write. Lindsay will write the next chapter, so the writing style will be completely different. We'll see how it goes. Anyway review this story cuz it's good.
