"I love you." Yuna said.
Tidus walked over to her and put his arms around her. At that moment they were one. Every feeling, every emotion was shared between the two. Then to Yuna's disillusionment, Tidus slowly slipped through her. In an instant he was gone. He began to run then jumped suddenly off the airship. Yuna, along with everyone else watched as he disappeared from sight.
It had been three months from that fateful day and Yuna had kept to her word. She had never forgotten her dream. In fact, the memory of Tidus lingered in her mind, and she thought of him everyday. She had finally gotten what she wanted. She was free to live her life as she pleased, and Spira was safe, but somehow her life hadn't turned out how she wanted. Being the person she is, though, she kept everything inside.
Today was a special day in Besaid. It was Lulu and Wakka's wedding day. The ceremony was to be held at the beach with a bonfire later that night. Yuna was in Lulu's hut with Rikku helping Lulu put the final touches on her gown. She looked beautiful. Her gown was similar to the dress she always wore, except that it was white. Instead of a fur trim, there was a lace on. The ends of her sleeves and the ends of her dress also had lace. She wore white thigh-high fishnets (no belts) and white-heeled shoes. Rikku and Yuna were adjusting her veil.
"Wow, Lulu, you look so pretty!" Rikku said, as always her usual cheery self.
"Thank you," Lulu replied.
Yuna smiled. She was happy to see this day come. For once in her life everything was at peace.
Later that day, the wedding was about to begin. Yuna and Rikku waited on the beach along with Wakka, the entire blitzball team, and the villagers of Besaid. Unfortunately, Kimahri could not be there. He had become elder of the Ronso tribe at Mt. Gagazet.
Wakka looked a little nervous. Then as Lulu reached the beach the expression on his face turned to awe. "Wow," Yuna could hear him say to himself. Lulu was holding a bouquet of white calla lilies and her moogle and cactuar dolls her carrying the train of her dress.
Rikku squeezed Yuna tightly and said, "Oh Yunie , I'm so happy! I told myself I wouldn't cry!"
That night at the bonfire, Yuna couldn't help feeling a little sad. She had hoped that she would have a real wedding someday. Just then, Lulu approached Yuna.
"I know how you feel," she said, "Remember, both Wakka and I have lost someone we loved once. I know things are tough, but it will get better."
"How did you get along without Chappu, Lulu?" Yuna asked.
"It wasn't easy. In fact I don't think I got over it until I realized I loved Wakka, but you know Yuna, something tells me we haven't seen the last of Tidus. That boy loves you too much to let you go that easily. I believe you will find him someday."
"Thank you, Lulu," Yuna sighed, "I'd like to believe that."
Just then, Wakka ran over to them and grabbed Lulu's arm pulling her up.
"Excuse me High Summoner, but if you wouldn't mind I'd like to ask my wife to dance with me." Wakka said.
"Of course not, Wakka, I'm sorry for keeping Lulu from you." As they walked away, Yuna couldn't help but smile. Feeling a little out of place, she decided to go get some sleep.
"Where are you? You told me if I whistled you'd always be there!"
Yuna was walking through foggy mist in a place so dark she couldn't see two feet in front of her. She whistled three times. No one was there. Falling to her knees, she broke down and started crying. Then out of nowhere, someone was emerging. She opened her eyes to see tan skin and bright yellow boots. She gasped and looked up. It was Tidus. She quickly got to her feet.
"You came back."
He didn't answer; he just stared at her lovingly.
"I love you Tidus. Promise me you won't leave me again." Yuna pleaded.
She wrapped her arms around him and he smiled.
Then he began to fade, just as he did before.
"No!" Yuna cried, "Don't leave me again!"
"But I have to," Tidus said, "Don't worry, I will find you. I love you, Yuna."
"No!" She cried, but it was too late; he stepped away from her and in a few steps he was gone…
