Finding Our Fantasy
A/N Hey everyone! This is my first fanfic and since I love FFX, I decided to share my story with you. Well, to start off, I'm Duckie and I will be updating regularly. Please r&r. I could use the constructive criticism, seeing as how this is my first ever fanfic. Well, happy reading!
Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy and/or any of the characters… Too bad, though. :D I did, however, make up the fake last names.
The peace was short lived at Besaid high school. Everyday, there was something to worry about.
"Yunie! Yunie! Yunie! Where are you?" Rikku asked as she ran through the halls, knocking lockers closed as she ran past.
Rikku Yamashi was amazing! She was a bundle of joy! She had the long blonde hair that everyone wanted and complimented her on and she loved dressing in cute outfits to get the boys to look her way! Rikku wore her hair in a tight ponytail that had small pieces of hair framing her perfect face. She wore a short, green skort and a yellow bikini top covered by a mesh top with green meshing and yellow converse high tops. She also had oceanic breeze blue eyes. And for that, she was the most envied girl at Besaid High. She was Yuna's cousin and her best friend. They had been together since they were little children. Yuna was the level headed one while Rikku was the one you looked to for cheering up!
"Yes, Rikku?" Yuna asked as she heard Rikku running down the halls, calling for her.
Yuna Kikageki, on the other hand, was much more different. Yuna wore short and tight black shorts with a train coming off the side which had purple and white accents. Along with this was a white tank top with lace fringe. Yuna had short hair that barely came down to her shoulders. It was very flowing and natural. From various parts of her hair, she had small beads entangled into her hair. She had bi-colored eyes that made her a shoe-in for the "Best Eyes" award. One eye was a beautiful periwinkle blue and the other was sea foam green. She wore black, nearly knee-high boots and had yellow armlets around her upper arm. As her and her friends were the "in" crowd at school, every guy was after her heart. One of the many including Seymour Guado, whom which Yuna couldn't stand to be around. Yet, he still tried for her heart.
"Guess what Yunnie?" Rikku asked as she bounced up and down.
"What, Rikku?" Yuna closed her locker and looked over at Rikku who had a huge smile spread across her lips.
"There's a new kid, Gippal. Have you seen him?" Rikku asked as she stood on the tips of her toes.
"Umm…" Yuna was trying to recall a new boy named Gippal. "Nope. I'm sure I'll see him, though."
Rikku turned away from Yuna and started dreamily to the ceiling of the high school. "He's so cute! I hope he talks to me!" Rikku slid her hands into a fist and eased them under her chin.
"Rikku," Yuna started in a sarcastic way, "you like someone new every week."
"I don't!" Rikku gave Yuna a small punch on the side of her right arm.
"Hey!" Yuna scolded as she rubbed her right arm. "I didn't know about Gippal, but I knew that there was a group of exchange students from Zanarkand."
"Yes, there is Wakka, Gippal, and Tidus." A recognizable voice sounded as it approached.
"Lulu!" Yuna exclaimed as she hugged her friend. "It's been a long summer, hasn't it?"
Lulu Geigana was that unique girl that people would label "Goth." She really wasn't, though. Though she usually wore black, it was for the mere fact that it looked amazing on her petite little figure. She wore black jeans and a black tank top, different from her regular black dress attire. She sported black boots as well as her everyday red eye contacts. She always wore red contacts. She felt that by wearing them, she was a little more unique than people took her for. Her hair was also something that made her stand out. She had hair strewn everywhere! On the top of her head, there was a messy and chic bun that was held together by two antique chopsticks. From the bun, she had small braids hanging down from her head, secured by small, blue hair ties. If you put Rikku, Yuna, and Lulu side by side, you would think that Rikku and Yuna would be the girls who made fun of Lulu, but they didn't. They had been friends ever since Lulu transferred to Besaid High in 9th grade.
"Hey Miss Yuna!" Lulu exclaimed as she hugged her friend back. "You haven't seen the new guys?"
"Nope, maybe we'll run into them." Yuna stated as she walked alongside her friends. Just after Yuna said that, the three boys turned the corner and started walking towards the girls.
"Oh, here they come!" Rikku quietly exclaimed as she closed her eyes and did a small jump. "That one's Gippal."
"The one on the right." Lulu clarified for Yuna. "The one on the left is Wakka and the one in the middle is Tidus."
"Oh." That was all Yuna could manage. They all seemed like nice people, but if you went to her school, you would figure that Yuna would be ready to pounce on anyone of them like a tiger. She never would, though. She didn't want to seem like the typical school slut that some girls are stereotyped as.
Tidus Sikigatamo was actually pretty cute. He had spiky blonde hair that was spiked down. As well as his amazing hair, he had deep, mesmerizing eyes that drew you in the minute you saw them. They were as blue as the sea, and sparkling as two diamonds. Yuna couldn't really see herself with him though, due to the fact that she was popular and he was not. Tidus sported black knee-length shorts and a yellow top that slightly showed his toned chest.
"Rumor is, Tidus has already been recruited as star blitzball player." Rikku whispered to Yuna as Yuna showed a nod of approval.
"Look at Wakka's hair, could it be anymore dreadful?" Lulu asked rhetorically as she rolled her eyes.
Wakka Torimashi was a fairy handsome looking boy, besides the fact that he had red hair that spiked up only in the front. Lulu swore that Wakka looked like he stuck his finger in an electrical plug-in. Wakka was exceptionally tall, though. Although, he was no taller than the other two. Wakka also had deep eyes. Not as deep as one would say Tidus' were, but they shone as a deep blue. He was wearing yellow shorts and black beach sandals along with a blue shirt. Wakka seemed like a party person, but who was Yuna to stereotype?
Yuna gave the last one, Gippal Torgeaka, a good look over. He seemed like a boy version of Rikku. He was very lively looking and quite cute. He sported black knee-length shorts and a black collared shirt, not dressy. He had a sweet sense to him and had hazel colored eyes. He had the strut that was a carefree happy-go-lucky form that obviously got the attention of girls. Rikku had her eyes set on him as he walked down the hall. Yuna figured that the two of them would make a cute couple.
"Here they come… shh!" Yuna hushed the group as the guys walked past them.
"Hey there!" Tidus stopped in front of Yuna and her crowd. "I'm Tidus Sikigatamo, and you all are?"
Yuna froze in her spot, not able to say anything. Rikku, seeing Yuna's stiff appearance, nudged her forward.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Yuna." Yuna stuck out her hand and Tidus responded to her action by shaking her hand. Shoot, she forgot her last name! "Kikageki."
"And I am Rikku, Rikku Yamshi at your service!" Rikku bowed her head. Upon getting up, she stuck her hand out to Gippal in particular.
"Last but not least, I'm Lulu Geigana." Lulu managed to put her hand out near the middle. Suddenly, Wakka took her hand and kissed it.
"And I am Wakka Torimashi, pleased to meet you." Wakka bowed to Lulu as a hidden disgusted look swept across her face.
"I am Gippal Torgeaka. Pleased to meet you, ladies." Gippal said, calmly as he looked up at Rikku with a smile sewn across his face.
"We are all new here and I was wondering, do any of you know where room 214 is? I have Algebra next and can't figure out for the life of me where it is!" Tidus asked as he playfully hit his head with his hand.
"Oh, I can take you there, I have Algebra as well." Yuna answered as she giggled at his stupid actions.
"Great, we can get to know each other!" he smiled at Yuna and turned to his friends. "Well, I'll see you all at lunch. Have fun!"
As Tidus told his friends farewell, Yuna stood, frozen, gazing into his blue eyes. They were so beautiful! She couldn't help but not take her eyes off of them.
"Uhh, Yuna? You okay?" Tidus asked as he noticed her staring at him.
"What?" Yuna asked as she snapped out of her daydreams.
"You okay? What were you staring at?" Tidus asked as he stood next to her, trying to look at what she could have been staring at, besides him.
"Uhh, nothing… I'm fine." Yuna could feel herself burning up on her cheeks. She put her hand on her cheek, and sure enough, they were as warm as the deep summers in Besaid.
"Okay, then. Lead the way Miss Yuna Kikageki!" Tidus exclaimed as he put his hand in front of him, slightly bowing his head.
As Yuna started walking with Tidus trailing along with her, she could feel the eyes of all the senior girls on them. They probably thought that Yuna and Tidus were a couple. Sadly enough, they weren't. Yuna also realized that there was an awkward silence between the two.
"So, Tidus, where are you from?" Yuna asked, even though she knew the answer.
"Zanarkand. The town where everything happens!" Tidus exclaimed, throwing his fist in the air. "Have you been there before?"
The questions were turned on to Yuna. "Umm… no, I haven't. What's it like?" Yuna felt slightly embarrassed as she told him that she hadn't.
"Oh, it's beautiful, the stars are bright, the buildings are tall, the people are friendly, and it's a nice place." Tidus answered as he waved his hand in the air, drawing a sky of stars with his palm.
"Oh. Well, here we are, Algebra." Yuna said as they walked into room 214.
Yuna took her regular seat and looked up at Tidus who seemed to be searching for a place to sit.
"Ahh… class, welcome to another year of Algebra. I am Mr. Harigomo and I am glad to have you here in my class. Also please say hello to Mr. Tidus Sikigatamo, our newest student addition who is all the way from Zanarkand." Mr. Harigomo motioned for Tidus to take a seat. "Tidus, sit next to Yuna."
"Yes, sir." He answered as he strolled over to Yuna's side.
"Well, hello again Miss Yuna." Tidus felt himself saying as he set his books on his desk.
"Hello to you, too." Yuna responded, shaking her head up then down.
"Ok, class. I know it's the first day of school, but I thought we could get this done and over with." Mr. Harigomo stated in a business manner and he folded his arms and leaned against his desk. "Tonight, I would like you to find a partner, go to his or her house, find out about each other, and then see if the two of you can make a five variable mathematic equation and then solve it."
Yuna shook her head in approval, while glancing at Tidus out of the corner of her eye. He was also looking her way with a sweet smile forming on his lips. Yuna knew that he wouldn't be her partner, but oh well. She should find someone soon. She scanned the room looking for a back up partner, in case Tidus didn't ask her or if he turned down her request. She turned and saw Seymour, sitting alone, also looking around for a partner. Why did he have to be alone? Then, he looked her way and smiled. Oh no! Yuna turned to Tidus.
"Hey, Tidus, you wanna be partners?" Yuna asked quickly so she didn't have to be Seymour's partner.
"Uhh… sure, sounds fun!" Tidus answered as he smiled at her.
Yuna turned to see Seymour, staring at Tidus and her with a look of jealousy, glaring at them as well. Then, LeBlanc walked up to him using her sensual strut and sat beside him. Yuna knew she didn't have to deal with Seymour, then. Whew! Seymour was a popular guy, but boy did he get on Yuna's nerves! He had a very calm talk that made you wonder what he was really thinking. Although he was unbearably popular and they were the ideal couple, her being the cheerleader and he being the Blitzer, he kind of scared her. The look in his eyes wasn't comforting. He had long, blue hair that mesmerized most girls he came in contact with, and had beautiful glassy blue eyes. She felt, in a way, kind of guilty, but she had to admit, she felt more relieved than anything!
"So, Tidus, you wanna come with me to my house after school?" Yuna asked as she turned to her Algebra partner.
"Sure, you wouldn't want to go to my house, anyway! It's not unpacked or anything yet!" Tidus joked as he closed his eyes and laughed incessantly.
Yuna suddenly didn't feel so shy around him anymore. At that moment, she knew that this year at Besaid High, everyone would be in for the ride of their lives!
