Note: From now on Tempest = Tidus and Tidus = Tempest. People will call Tidus Tempest, but I will always refer to him as Tidus. By the way, if any of you want to run with this idea and write something similar, feel free! You don't even have to credit me or whatever. Just try to make it better than mine if you ever do (which shouldn't be too hard! LoL). Do not worry! This will not end up being some lesbian fantasy. It's just a simple story. :) It is not a romance. ;)
How To Read: Things in between asterisks (**) are spoken as a voice-over in a narrator-like fashion, like in the beginning of FFX. **Listen to my story.** Things in parentheses set the scene and describe action. "(Beat)" means a pause is taken before the character continues speaking.

Chapter Four: Coping In Kilika
(We see Tidus laying in bed, again regaining consciousness.)
Woman 1: I think she's coming to again! (Tidus opens his eyes) Oh dear, you gave us such a fright.
Tidus: This is... a dream.
Woman 1: No, dear. You're alright now, though. We're here to take care of you. Do you need anything?
Tidus: A mirror.

Woman 1: An odd request. Mari, get the poor girl a mirror, please. (beat, to Tidus) What's your name, dear?
Tidus: ... Tempest.
Woman 1: Well, Tempest, my name is Osara. I live in this house along with my husband, Ohashi, and daughter, Ryori. Mari, the person in the room a moment ago, is Ryori's nanny.
Tidus: Where am I?
Osara: The city of Kilika.
(Mari returns with the Mirror)
Osara: Thank you, Mari.
(She hands the mirror to Tidus, who takes a deep breath before looking into it. He sighs and looks dejected. He is, indeed, female.)
Tidus: What am I going to do now?
Osara (misunderstanding): Have you any friends or relatives?
Tidus: Well, I ha... I mean... I can't remember.
Osara: Oh, poor girl. Well, I'll not throw you out. You can stay here, Tempest, if you'd like, and if no one in town recognizes you. You can help Mari with the baby. Does that sound okay with you? I know I've only just met you, but you seem like a nice enough girl, and I can't let a fellow human starve!
Tidus: Alright...
Osara (smiling, in thought): We'll get a room ready for you, and some clothes, of course. We have more than enough space.
(Tidus stares, not hearing)
Narrator Tidus: **I was in shock. I hardly paid attention to what I was saying. It didn't matter that I didn't know this person. It didn't matter she seemed overly excited. I just wanted to disappear. All I thought about was my friends. I had gotten to Spira. I had come back from the dead. (beat) But I would never be able to see them. Not like that. **
Osara: Tempest, do you know how to cook?
(Tidus is jarred by her question)
Tidus: A little.
Osara: Then that will be the first thing we teach you! Oh, it's going to be wonderful having another person around the house. I get quite bored sometimes. Ohashi spends so much time at the docks and Mari...
Narrator Tidus: **I just let her speak. It didn't make an impact on me. I just wondered what I was going to do.**
