Diclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy or any of its characters.

The day was perfect. The sun stood without a single cloud to block its warm rays. The sound of a waterfall could be heard in the distance. The flowers' vibrant colors reflected nicely off of the lagoon, creating a dream-like setting.

Yuna dove into the lagoon, the cool water soaking her body in an instant. She swum around under the surface. Her eyes closed. Her body relaxed. Her hair flowed wildly around her head as she continually brought her hands up in front of her and then pulled them to her sides. There were so many things troubling her at the moment and relaxing in the lagoon was the only way she could get rid of those thoughts. She felt so far away from everything when she was there. She slowly swam up to the surface, taking in air as she got there. She repeatedly moved her arms and legs to keep herself above the surface. She took a deep breath feeling the pressure of the water against her chest. The scent of lilacs filled the air. Everything was silent. Not even a gust of wind disturbed the beautiful scenary, and for some reason, it bothered Yuna. Her eyes scanned the area as the trees stood silent. She suddenly had this strange feeling that she was being watched. Like she wasn't alone.

It was then that something in the distance broke the silence. She listened carefully and realized that someone was calling out to her. She listened once again as the sound began to get closer.

"Hey Yunie," the person called out in a sing song tone.

She finally began to swim towards the shallow part of the lagoon, thankful that Rikku had come looking for her. Branches cracked under Rikku's feet as she reached the lagoon, spotting Yuna in the crystal blue water.

"Yunie, where have you been?" she asked. "I've been looking all over Besaid for you."

Yuna stood up when the water was shallow enough and made her way out of the lagoon.

"I was here Rikku," Yuna replied, as she stepped out of the water. Her white dress stuck to her curvy figure.

"Hey, whats with you sneaking off like that?" Rikku asked. Yuna realized that no matter how serious Rikku was, she still sound cheery.

"I just needed to be alone," Yuna replied, as she pushed a loose strand of hair behind her ears. She had a lot of things on her mind. Things she'd rather not talk about with Rikku or Lulu. Rikku placed a hand on Yuna's wet shoulder, a look of pure sympathy planted on her face.

"Its him isn't it Yunie."

In an instant, Yuna's expression changed to confusion.

"What?"

"Its Tidus. You miss him," Rikku declared.

Yuna gazed at Rikku. It was the truth. She was thinking about Tidus. She did miss him and she wanted to see him again.

"Don't worry Yunie," Rikku began. "He'll come back for you. I know he will." Yuna glanced at the lagoon beside her. The sunlight reflected off of the crystal blue water.

"I hope so."

Rikku slipped her arm around Yuna's shoulder and they both made their way out of the forest.

Just as they grew farther and farther away, a young man stepped out from behind a tree near the lagoon. He could still hear Yuna's voice in the distance. His blonde hair shimmered in the sun. His azure blue eyes fell on the lagoon in fornt of him.

"I'm here for you Yuna," he whispered.

He wanted to talk to her. He wanted to tell her that he was here for her, but he knew he couldn't. At least not yet. It was Seymour who was keeping them apart. He remembered Seymour's words. He remembered it like it was yesterday.

"If you show your face around here again, I'll have all of her friends killed and she will suffer because of your stupidity."

After he was secretly banned from Besaid, he kept his distance from the city and...from Yuna. It took him three months before he finally had the guts to sneak back into Besaid. After a while, he couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't stand being away from her. When he finally found her, he couldn't bear to leave her again. It had been two weeks since he secretly snuck back into the city of Besaid and all he did was watch her every move, but today, he knew exactly what he was going to do. He was going to tell her the truth.All of that bullshit Seymour feed her for the last three months only made things worst. He was going to clear things up and tell her the real reason why he had left her.
