Fan-Fiction – Together Again

Chapter 1 – Back Again

Tidus came spiraling down into the water. It shook beneath him under the pressure he felt. Once he resurfaced he spat out some water and looked up.

In the sky was an enormous airship. Diving out of it was an easily recognizable figure – Yuna. Running to catch her, he quickly noticed that swimming would be faster. As he reached the shore he leaped and caught her.

Cradled in his arms, Yuna gasped "Tidus."

"Yuna," he replied, "You sure look different."

"Well, a lot has happened while you were gone," she said in a mildly sarcastic tone, "Not everything revolves around you, you know."

They both chuckled. Slinging an arm over her shoulder, Tidus began to walk to Yuna's old bungalow. He kissed her on the cheek and began chatting when suddenly…

"Hey man, how ya been, ya?"

"Good to see you safe, Yuna"

"Kimahri happy to see Yuna and Tidus together"

Yuna was suddenly overwhelmed by three of her former guardians, Wakka, Lulu and Kimahri, coming to meet her again. Waving them off, Tidus calmly said "We'll catch up later; I just wanna spend some time with Yuna"

The three trod off groaning, but Tidus could have sworn that he saw a grin forming on Wakka's face. Pervert … he thought, remembering his first ever Spiran friend.

Rikku! he thought suddenly, blurting out "So, how's Rikku doing?"

Slightly surprised, Yuna replied "Well, this story's pretty long. You'd better take a seat." She gestured to a nearby hill, where they sat down.

"Well, it all began two years after we defeated Sin…" Yuna began to recount to Tidus everything that happened while he was gone: Sphere-Hunting, the factions, Paine and Vidinia. Tidus listened intently, filling himself in on every little detail, asking questions often to extend the knowledge. Yuna loved having him back, hearing his voice, feeling his touch, just being with him made her happy.

"So, I've been gone three years?" inquired Tidus.

"Yep".

"And Wakka and Lulu…?"

"Yep".

"That is so cool!"

Yuna laughed and said "So, wanna go see Wakka and Lu?" She stood up and began walking.

"Not yet, I just need to ask you one more thing." Yuna stopped.

"How's Rikku?"

Yuna replied "She's changed heaps. She's grown, yet she's retained her playfulness. I swear, nothing exhausts that girl!"

Laughing, Tidus said "Come on, let's go!"

It had gotten dark, and Wakka and Lulu had retreated to their house. Tidus was glad to finally get inside and be able to catch up with friends.

Tidus and Yuna spent most of the night chatting about Vidinia with his parents. Tidus felt glad that he had come back to such great friends – and Yuna.

"Oh, geez, it's late, we better get going." said Tidus. They bade each other goodbye and went outside.

In the cold air Yuna shivered and wrapped her arms around Tidus. He then locked lips with her, swinging his arms around her hips. If only every day was like this… Yuna thought. They stopped kissing and walked back home, feeling only … pure happiness.

First Chapter Done – So what'd ya think? I changed the end of X-2 a bit, but that's because it seemed cuter … or something, I dunno. Please R&R for free muffins! As for updates, I'm aiming for about 1-2 per week.
