Hey! It's me, Famfrit, author of Carrot's Homecoming. This is my first attempt at FFX-2 fan fiction, and also my first attempt at anything remotely romantic. Anyways, this takes place after the end of FFX-2 and will deal with fighting, however this chapter will include no fighting as you will soon find out what is happening. I do not own Square Enix, Final Fantasy, Final Fantasy X, or Final Fantasy X-2. Please enjoy, and please give me feedback!

"Do I look nervous?" Nooj asked, wavering uneasily in his formal suit. It was a custom for the men of Spira to wear white robes on such an occasion, and Nooj was no exception except that the robes were much shorter than the customary ones, embroidered with blue silk in a crisscrossing design. Baralai let out a laugh, but Gippal hit him on the shoulder before he could continue.

"To make things short, Nooj, you look like a nervous wreck," Gippal said, causing Baralai to laugh louder. The two friends, the leaders of New Yevon and the Machine Faction, began to chuckle to themselves. Nooj didn't look like he appreciated it.

"How do I look, then?" he asked shakily. Baralai stopped laughing, straightened himself up, and looked at Nooj straight in the eyes.

"You look fine, Nooj," he said. Gippal nodded.

"I'd have to agree," Gippal said. "Don't worry, you'll be fine. And believe me, this is what you want to do with your life, Nooj. Not only is it something you want, and something that the people will respect you for and follow your example, but it's something that she wants, too."

"How do I look?" Leblanc asked, looking herself over. Her elegant white gown was embroidered with diamonds, and her ornate fan was painted with designs of butterflies and flowers embroidered in sapphires, crystals, and diamonds. Her hair had been bleached white for the occasion, and a crystal circlet was atop her head which was studded with diamonds.

"You look great, Leblanc," Yuna said. Indeed the wealthy mistress of the Leblanc Syndicate did look quite beautiful in all of her formalwear. Leblanc had invited YRP and all the Gullwings to the occasion, along with a rather confused Tidus and the rest of Yuna's guardians, including Vidina. Yuna wore her summoner's robes, except they had been readjusted to silk.

"You do look great, Leblanc!" Rikku chimed in, looking quite uncomfortable in a white gown that was much too large for her. She was almost constantly tripping upon it and falling on her face, and her hands were all ready skinned. Just then, the Celsius roared overhead and Brother and Buddy slid out on metal cables. Rikku rolled her eyes. "Show-offs," she muttered.

"You look fine," murmured Paine, who looked the most forlorn of all. She was not wearing her dark warrior's attire: she was wearing a white silk gown, which she detested very much. She didn't like its flashiness, or its length. She wanted to be wearing something – anything – besides this gown.

"I feel really nervous," Leblanc admitted, eyes falling upon the carpet along the luxurious highroad in Bevelle. "What was it like when you were doing this, Yuna?"

Yuna remembered the horrible memories of her: with Seymour. How she loathed that morbid man, that man who only lusted the end of Spira and her. She had given him her respect, and he took advantage of her and nearly ended all of her guardians' lives. But in the end, she had Sent Seymour to the Farplane, and that had been the end of him.

"It was a lot different," Yuna explained. "For one, there were all those Warrior Monks. And two, I didn't like Seymour at all. He was forcing me against my will."

"Oh," Leblanc said with a nervous smirk, not really paying attention. Her eyes were cast now at the clouds, and she wondered whether this was the right choice. Yes, they did love each other, but to pledge an eternity for each other? She didn't quite know. But she was determined to do it, anyways. She loved him, and he loved her.

"Here it is, boss," Ormi said as he ran up to Leblanc, wearing silver and white attire adjusted to fit his large size. His familiar shield had been taken off his back, but a large Leblanc Syndicate symbol – a heart with two dots cut out from the two tops – was plastered on the center of his chest.

"Yes, we finally got it. It took them long enough," Logos piped in, and he handed Leblanc the bouquet of white and silver roses. "I do have to say those flowers do look a tad odd."

"Well I didn't ask your opinion, did I?" Leblanc snapped. Logos nodded, and with Ormi the two sped off. Leblanc laughed.

"I'm really going to do this," she said with a smile as her eyes fell upon her husband-to-be.

====*====

Meanwhile, Yuna ran back to Tidus who was standing off to the side of everyone else, gazing straight ahead at the end of the highroad. He remembered this place all too well. He remembered the angry hatred he felt towards an undead Seymour and the terror in his heart when Yuna leapt from the edge. He remembered the excitement of sliding down the metal cables off Cid's airship and the fear he felt while facing the Warrior Monks to reach Yuna.

"Are you okay?" Yuna asked, touching his shoulder. He liked the feel of her hand upon any part of his body, as somehow he felt soothed by her touch. He smiled and nodded.

"I'm fine, Yuna," Tidus replied, gazing back out and down into the machina city below. "Boy, this place has changed since I last was here."

"Yes, it has," Yuna said with a laugh and joining his side. "With the whole deal between New Yevon and the Youth League, I thought this place would never be so united."

"No, I meant like all of this machina. If this was happening back when I was your guardian, half of the machina would be gone. And that half would be the machina that actually has major use," Tidus said. At that moment Yuna crept closer to him, and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"You still are my guardian," she said softly. Tidus smiled, and the refreshing breeze blew softly into his face.

A teary-eyed Ormi and a sobbing Logos escorted a nervous Leblanc up the center aisle as she skittishly attempted to shut them up. The sun was bright, and the breeze was cool. Leblanc gazed straight ahead at Nooj, and suddenly she felt a sense of tranquility.

Baralai stood at the tops of the steps, reading the lines of marital vows out of a large tome. It was all gibberish to Leblanc and Nooj, as they were holding each other's hands and gazing into each other's eyes. Ormi and Logos were sobbing into their handkerchiefs by now, each one specially sewn with the Leblanc Syndicate symbol.

Finally it came time for the rings. Baralai began to speak the vows, but Leblanc couldn't hear him at all. Her eyes were deep into Nooj's mind, and she was blissful to an extent she had never ventured before. 

Finally, after Baralai asked the question, Nooj nodded and slipped a shimmering silver ring encrusted with diamonds onto Leblanc's finger. Her eyes were glistening, and she was truly beautiful. His thoughts drifted to what life would be like with her as Baralai began to recite her vows, and after what seemed like eternity she nodded with a smile and slipped a golden ring encrusted with diamonds onto his finger. It shone there like a star.

Yuna was smiling in Tidus's arms. Rikku was grinning, standing right next to Gippal. Paine, outcast from the others, was grinning to herself as she gazed at not the couple, but Baralai. Logos and Ormi were sobbing madly at this point, their handkerchiefs too soggy to use. Buddy and Brother were looking at the two, and Brother was smiling his goofy smile. Wakka and Lulu were smiling, and Vidina was sleeping soundly in Lulu's arms. Kimahri and Garik also stood in the stands, and Kimahri was a bit perplexed but otherwise happy for the two. Lord Tromell, Lord of the Guado, stood in the stands as well with a handful of noble Guado. The five musicians of Macalania played sweet, uplifting music on a floating platform to the right of the highroad's end.

"You may kiss the bride," Baralai said. Nooj and Leblanc's fingers intertwined as they kissed each other passionately and the stands clapped, including a still sobbing Ormi and Logos who was now pulling his act together. Yuna was probably clapping the loudest and hardest, a smile projected on her happy face. This was a good day.

====*====

The procession was very cheerful. As strange as it may seem, Lord Tromell and Garik were chatting peacefully. Gippal, Baralai, Paine, Yuna, and Rikku were all talking to the newlyweds, Tidus among them but not speaking. The cake was beautiful, and after the cake was finished off it was followed by various shows. Clasko gave a performance of rapidly dashing Chocobos adorned with iron helmets, which was quite spectacular. As Tobli and the five Macalanian musicians headed onstage to perform an elegant symphony, Yuna got ready and spherechanged into the Songstress Dressphere. Immediately visions of Lenne filled her mind, but she remembered how peacefully the summoner and songstress's story had ended.

Tidus was tantalized by Yuna's new attire. Was it truly Yuna, or was it some sort of goddess? He couldn't tell, but he knew that Yuna looked spectacular, if not strangely familiar. "You look great," Tidus said sheepishly to Yuna, who smiled and hugged him.

"I'm really nervous," she confessed. "The last time I performed... Well, let's just say that I got really into the music. I even broke down crying, after I was done."

"You cried?" Tidus said, and was flooded with memories of being called "crybaby" and all the times he really had cried, even though he was reluctant to recollect them.

"Yes," Yuna said embarrassedly. Her face flushed pink, and Tidus grinned.

"It's time, Yuna," he said with a smile, and Yuna walked up to the area backstage to tune up her microphone. Just a few seconds later the Hypello who was announcing all the shows called her name, and she entered onto the stage and began to sing.

(I would insert a song here, but the thing is I'm a really bad songwriter and lyricist. I'd end up writing a nonsensical line of words with no beat whatsoever, so just bear with me and invent a song.)

Leblanc was so happy she was crying during Yuna's beautiful song, and she cheered madly when it was over. Nooj held his wife close by, and several times during the song did they kiss quite passionately. The lyrics matched every emotion and every feeling of everything they had experienced in the past couple of hours.

The song's end had a great effect on the entire audience, followed by a long applause. Yuna bowed again and again, her face flushing red with embarrassment. Finally she exited the stage, and Tidus wrapped her in a tight hug and the two kissed. "That was great," he said, and Yuna sighed. It was great having Tidus back.

"I'd like to make an announcement," Nooj declared in a loud voice. He was on the stage, Yuna's microphone in hand. Rikku, who had been chatting with Gippal, looked up with her former boyfriend. Paine, who was talking with Baralai, looked back at the stage, nudging the praetor to do so to.

"I thank you all for coming here on this fine day to celebrate me and Leblanc – my wife – finally getting wed." At this comment, Gippal let out a loud whoop, which even got Leblanc to smile. "It means a lot to both of us. When I first met Leblanc, back during the founding of the Youth League, I knew that she was someone special. I knew that she was going to be a vital part of my life. Back then, I was confused with my stance. I sought after death like a parasite. Now, I don't. After facing Vegnagun, I knew that death wasn't what I wanted. What I wanted was companionship, a companionship only Leblanc could give me. Now I'm not confused, in fact I'm entirely true to you know. I love this woman, and I will until I die."

Everyone cheered, and Leblanc was crying happily. She met her husband with a passionate kiss as he exited the stage. Nooj looked to the end of the highroad, where the shimmering airship for two awaited. He smiled brightly, his wife crying in his arms. "I love you, Leblanc," he said, and she kissed him again.

The newlyweds walked down the carpet, a tearful Logos and Ormi waving goodbye along with Yuna, Tidus, Gippal, Rikku, Paine, and Baralai, not to mention all the guests. Nooj lifted Leblanc off her feet, and holding her in his arms they got into the airship for two headed for a peaceful honeymoon on Besaid Island. Yuna smiled as the airship flew away.

"Let's go," she said softly to Tidus, who motioned to the others to follow. Paine waved goodbye to Baralai, and Gippal gave Rikku a soft kiss on the cheek as she left. Rikku blushed madly, a rare thing for the daughter of Cid to do. She was still blushing even when the four headed back up to the Celsius, gazing down at Gippal the entire time until he was too small to recognize amongst the others.

That speech was horrible! I wish I had a song to insert, but as I all ready said, I'd make a horrible song with absolutely no meaning whatsoever. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it! I might write some more on this, but it all depends...
