Disclaimer: Sadly, I don't own FFX or any of the characters. It all belongs to those lucky people at Square Soft. I make no money from this story, so don't bother suing. Plus, I really need these lint balls…
Authors Note: This story starts right after Yuna's speech at the end of FFX. The first part of the story will be primarily romance, but as it progresses, I will add some action to it. This story could either be very long with many a chapter, or I might forget about it and let it drift away with all my other unfinished stories… Only time will tell. Now! On with the story!

Yuna walked back down the peer at Luca Harbor, she had left the group for a few minutes, wanting some time to herself. She stopped at the end of the dock and stared out over the horizon, then, kneeling, she dipped her hand into the water and closed her eyes.
In her mind she pictured him, his wild blonde hair sticking out in all directions. Those beautiful blue eyes staring at her. He was smiling, he always smiled, always tried to cheer her up.
Tidus, if only you knew how much I miss you. I would do anything for the chance to see you again.
A single tear rolled down her cheek, falling slowly into the water.
************************************************************************
Tidus was standing in the Farplane, next to his father, Jecht. He loved that he was getting the chance to reunite with his dad, but without Yuna he could never be truly happy.
"You love her, don't you boy?" Jecht said. It really wasn't so much a question as it was a statement.
"Yeah," he replied, "But I'll never get the chance to tell her that will I?"
"Oh, I wouldn't be to sure of that," said a voice that sounded very much like that of a child's.
Tidus whirled around and found himself staring at the Fayth, the small, purple cloaked being who had been the reason Tidus ever existed, the reason Tidus went to Spira in the first place.
"What do you mean?" he asked, puzzled.
"You have done so much for us," the Fayth replied, "You have given us rest after so many years, even though you knew you would be sacrificing your very existence. As a symbol of our gratitude we will give you a physical body, and allow you to return to Spira."
Tidus jumped forward, feeling more alive then he had ever felt before, "Are you serious?" he asked, almost not believing he might get the chance to see Yuna again.
"Yes, very serious. You will be sent to Spira. But first I assume you will want to bid your father farewell."
Tidus turned to Jecht and stepped up to him, "Ya know dad, I never thought I'd actually say this but, I'm gonna miss you."
Aw c'mon kid, don't go gettin' all sappy on me," Jecht said rather uncomfortably. It was obvious he wasn't very good at stuff like this.
"Goodbye old man," said Tidus, giving his father a short, unexpected hug.
Then, turning back to the Fayth, Tidus saw two more men who hadn't been standing there moments before. One was clad in a long red trench coat, and the other was wearing a long hooded robe.
"Auron, Lord Braska," he began, "It's been fun. Maybe I'll see you again someday"
"It may be so," said Auron, "For it seems your story will not be ending here."
"Farewell Tidus," said Lord Braska, "Say hello to my daughter for me. And please, take care of her."
Grinning, Tidus flashed him a quick thumbs up, "You got it!"
Tidus looked at the Fayth, "Ok, I'm ready."
Slowly, Tidus began to disappear. He waved goodbye to Jecht, and then in a bright flash of light, he was gone.
************************************************************************
The next thing Tidus knew, he was curled up in a little ball underwater. Stretching out and smiling, he began to swim to the surface, where he thought he heard a faint whistling sound.
************************************************************************
Yuna stood on the dock, two fingers in her mouth. She was whistling loudly, a last desperate attempt to bring back Tidus. Sighing, she hung her head sadly.
"I suppose I should get back to the others before they start to worry about me."
She turned from the dock and slowly began to walk away. Then suddenly she stopped, hearing a noise from behind her. At first, it simply sounded like water splashing out against the wood, but then it became louder, and more distinct. It was the sound of someone climbing onto the dock.
Yuna spun around and saw him standing there, soaking wet. She couldn't believe her eyes.
"Yuna," he said, his voice was soft and loving.
"T..Tidus?" she stammered, still not believing he was actually here.
Suddenly, without even realizing she was doing it, Yuna was running towards him and embracing him. The next thing she knew, they locked in a passionate kiss. Yuna never wanted this moment to end.
