Note: This fanfiction takes place after the American version of FFX ends. This may contain spoilers. In fact, if you haven't completed the game, you don't want to read past this sentence, as I'm going to be explaining a few things about the ending. In this fanfiction, Tidus has been sent to the Farplane. After touching Sin, he has become real, just as real as the Aeons. However, he and they are not allowed to exist in the real world. Please, please, please... do not read this fanfiction expecting something serious. I can never write serious things. It may start out seriously, but I assure you, it won't continue that way for too long. It is rated PG for some situations that aren't suitable for children, but are perfectly fine for teenagers and preteens. It isn't anything "nasty," so please don't worry. No vulgar language included in this story. I prefer to write something with description as opposed to blunt vulgarity. Enjoy!
How To Read: Things in between asterisks (**) are spoken as a voice-over in a narrator-like fashion, like in the beginning of FFX. **Listen to my story.** Things in parentheses sets the scene and describes action. "(Beat)"means a pause is taken before the character continues speaking.
Back To The Farplane
Chapter One: A Way Back
(Setting: The Farplane. Tidus is sitting cross-legged at the edge of a precipice, staring at a brilliant orange sunset as the light disappears. He seems to be deep in thought, however, instead of observing the beauty.)
Narrator Tidus: **When you're actually in the farplane, you don't see pyreflies, like you do when you're alive. It's something different... something strange. Everyone lives in the form of themselves they feel the most comfortable in. If you could call it living, anyway.**
(We see the back of the Tidus at the farplane as he picks at a few blades of grass, sprinkling them mindlessly beside him. The perspective turns until we are able to see a close-up of his face. A solitary tear falls.)
Narrator Tidus: **This is where my story starts and ends.**
(Tidus at the Farplane closes his eyes. A sound of whistling can be heard from far off)
Tidus (whispering): Yuna...
(A voice speaks up from behind him, startling him out of his reverie.)
Auron: There is a way to get back, you know.
(Auron is different. He looks more like the younger Auron in the Jecht Spheres. His eye is not scarred and there is no grey in his hair. Auron's statement wakes Tidus up. His eyes open wide.)
Tidus: What??
Auron: Braska will explain. Dry your eyes and let's go.
Tidus: I wasn't crying.
(Later, inside a room that appears to be a massive library. An oval-shaped maple table sits in the center of the room, with Lord Braska, Auron, and Jecht sitting on one side, and Tidus on the other.)
Tidus: Why didn't you tell me this earlier?
Auron: Quiet.
Tidus: I'll do it!
Lord Braska: You haven't heard everything yet.
Tidus: I don't care!
Jecht: Believe me, you will, boy.
Tidus: Anything to be back with Yuna! Back where I belong!
Lord Braska: There are consequences, though. You may never be able to come back to the farplane. When you die...
Tidus: I don't care! Let's do it!
(At this, Jecht chuckles.)
Jecht: You've got guts, boy. Or should I say... girl.
(Jecht almost explodes into laughter, but Lord Braska holds his hand up to cease it.)
Lord Braska: That is enough. (beat) Very well, Tidus. Tomorrow we will send you back to Spira.
Tidus: Why not tonight?!
(There is a pause while the three adults rise from their chairs.)
Jecht: Get some rest, boy.
(Auron, Jecht, and Braska walk away, leaving a confused and excited Tidus sitting at the oval table.)
Narrator Tidus: **I didn't know it then, but there was more to what my old man said than I thought. They say hindsight is 20/20, right?**
