Intro:

Tidus growled in frustration and pounded his fist against a wall. It had been three months and he still couldn't find a way back into Spira.. A way back to her. He'd tried everything he could think of and he still couldn't find a way back to his love.. Yuna. He remembered the pain in her eyes when he had been forced to leave. Tidus punched the wall again why was this happening! He was holding back tears remembering the words of Jecht.. Telling him not to cry. Tidus sighed and walked outside to the crowded streets of Zanarkand. He needed so kind of distraction...

"Hey Tidus, over here." said one of his obsessed fans. "Please? I want to talk to you..everyone wants to know why you gave up blitzball" Tidus tried to walk away but the girl followed him down the street. "The Zanarkand abes haven't won a single game since you left them. why won't you play!" Tidus kept walking away so the girl grabbed his arm. "Don't you walk away from me!"

Tidus turned around and faced the pest. And gasped this girl looked exactly like Rikku. She even dressed like Rikku. "Rikku?"

The girl smiled. "God I thought you'd never ask! I mean c'mon don't you recognize my voice at all? Geeze Tidus what have you been doing? You look horrible."

"Ummm.. Thanks..." Tidus said weekly looking at the ground then he looked up excitedly. "Wait how did you get here? If there's a way here then there has to be a way back." Tidus placed his arms on Rikku's shoulders. "Is there a way back to Spira!"

Rikku put her hand on the back of her head. "Well that's the problem. I don't know HOW I got here. I just woke up on the beach and I wasn't in Spira...But Yuna isn't in Spira either.. She..ummm disappeared. She may still be in Spira but if she is she's probably dead."

"Wait so you all LOST Yuna!" Tidus roared. "How could you LOSE Yuna!"

"Tidus calm down! In a way it might be good for you, she may have disappeared to zanarkand.. Like I did."

"Tidus? Is that you Tidus!"

Tidus whirled around. "Yuna?" It was Yuna beautiful as ever. She ran into his waiting arms. He gethered her up and kissed her. "Yuna.. I can't believe it's you."

Yuna pushed herself away and began shaking his shoulders "Tidus, Tidus, Tidus, com on Tidus get up!"

Tidus opened his eyes and sat up. He'd had that dream again. His mother stood looking down at him. "Tidus, I don't know what has gotten into you but you havent been acting yourself lately I'm worried. What's wrong? You can tell me."

Tidus pulled on a shirt. "No mom I can't you wouldn't believe me even if I told you. And besided I'm a little old for you to be so protective of me. I'm fine just let me deal with my problems on my own.. Please." Tidus watched his mother leave the room and sighed putting his head in his hands. "When is this going to end! When will I see her again?" he asked himself on the verge of tears. He pulled himself out of bed and walked out the door. Being careful to avoid his mother he snuck out. Walking with his head down, through the streets of zanarkand, just like in his dream. This time tough there was no Rikku, there was no Yuna, and above all there was no hope. He walked into a crowded bar and sat down. A waitress came over.

"Aren't you a little young to drink?" she asked in a kind voice.

Tidus looked up at her. "Just pour me a damn drink." He said. The waitress glared at him but poured him a full mug of golden beer. Tidus drank deeply and layed his head down on the table. When he was in Spira he just wanted to go home now all he wanted was to get back to Yuna, and Yuna was in Spira. He was stuck in Zanarkand...there was no way out. He heard a familiar laugh coming from a table near by, it was Auron, but Auron had already told him that he couldn't help him get to Spira.

"You're looking down kid, is it Yuna again." said Auron's rough voice as he sat down at Tidus' table his own jug of beer in hand. "This is why you should have never fallen for her kid. We both knew you were going to have to leave her at one point. Ah come on cheer up!" Auron slapped Tidus on the back.

Tidus shook his head. "It's not that easy Auron. I need her she's my other half..I knew it from the first time I saw her when she was coming out of the temple in Besaid. I loved her from the first time I saw her and now look at me."

Auron stared at Tidus. "Well you never know, but now that Jecht isn't sin any longer I don't know how you are going to get to Spira, unless you do it yourself"

"What is that supposed to mean you always tell me I have to do this myself but how?"

"That you're going to have to figure out yourself. 'This is your story' remember when I told you that? Well it was true then and it still is now." Auron stood up. "It's easy for me to travel between worlds because I'm supposed to be in the far plain. But you will get back to her eventualy but it's up to you." Auron walked away leaving Tidus alone to think

The waitress came by and filled Tidus' cup again. "Thanks." he mumbled under his breath and drank from the cup again. He couldn't believe he was sitting here drinking his problems away but what else was there to do. He was lost to the world that he lived in thinking about another. He sighed and left the table leaving some gil behind for the drinks and a tip. Tidus walked down the street his head down, not wanting to be bothered. He walked to the beach and dove into the water. It was cool and refreshing but more importantly it reminded him of his first kiss with Yuna. He floated to the surface and closed his eyes, his hands behind his head and he floated there, remembering the first time he laid eyes on Yuna, that sunny day in Besaid..
