To Love and to Dream
Chapter Six I am so sorry for the people that read
this! I don't update as much as I should. It's just inspiration and
schedule conflicts. But you know what? I'm writing now:) I'm
listening to the Kingdom Hearts OST, so I'm happy. And I got a Final
Fantasy X wall scroll with Tidus and Yuna on it! Pwetty:3
Summary:
He said he wouldn't let her die. He said that he'd always be with
her. Now he's gone, and she'll do whatever she can to get him back.
FFX-2, my way. TxY
To my reviewers: Tidus: AAH! (falls
over) Disclaimer: I.
Don't. Own. (leaves to sob)
Cookies! Thank
you for reviewing! (waves) (glomps Tidus)
Rikku: (giggle)
Yuna: My turn!
----------------------------------
Cid chuckled at Tidus.
"You heard me. Their KID. Child. Baby. Bambino. Youngster. Tyke. Babe. Offspring. Small Fr-"
"Okay, okay, I get it! Wakka and Lulu have a kid. I've been gone for a while so this comes as a freaking SHOCK." Tidus snapped. Cid simply held his hands in the air.
"...Git on the damn ship already."
"Okay."
"Oh, by the way, we're making a quick stop at Djose."
"WHAT? Come ON!"
----------------------------------
Rikku
stood near the entrance of Djose Temple, impatiently tapping her
foot.
"Ooh, where IS he!" Rikku muttered to herself. Gippal said he had a few interviews to do with hopeful diggers, and would be a few minutes. A half-hour has already passed, and there was still no sign of the self-proclaimed 'Al Bhed Hot, Gorgeous, Smexy, Handsome, Hunky, Smooth, Stylish, Charming, Adorable, Pretty, Stunning, Enticing, Enchanting, Stud Muffiny Man-God.'
After ten more minutes of tapping her foot and jumping up and down, the Stud Muffin Man finally graced her with his prescence, only to be the bearer of bad news.
"Hey Cid's Girl! I just spoke with your vydran. He's gonna come pick us up with the airship. Says he has a surprise." Gippal reported, grinning. Whatever smile that was on Rikku's face immediately melted off in about five milliseconds.
"...What did you just say?"
----------------------------------
Yuna was still extremely bored. Maybe even more than she was two hours ago. She sighed and flipped through her song book, stopping at a few entries that reminded her of her tall, dark, and handsome blitzball player. Most of them were about him anyway.
Here's one- Yuna was a little sad that day.
Where'd
you go?
I miss you so.
It seems like it's been forever
since
you've been gone.
Please come back home.
Oh, here's another. It's kind of a funny memory. A sphere hunter from Kilika was flirting with Paine, who just didn't want anything to do with him. Yuna saw this through his eyes.
It's
like a bad movie,
she is lookin' through me .
If you were me,
then you'd be
screamin' "Someone shoot me!"
As I
fail miserably,
tryin' to get the girl all the bad guys want.
This one... This one simply reminds Yuna of Rikku.
You
know I always stay up without sleepin',
and think to myself,
where
do I belong forever?
In whose arms, the time and place?
Can't
help if I space in a daze,
my eyes tune out the other way,
I
may switch off and go in a daydream.
In this head my thoughts are
deep,
but sometimes I can't even speak.
Would someone be and
not pretend?
I'm off again in My World.
Yuna had a dream about him again. She was hopeful, though, despite the song's sad tone.
Well hey,
so much I need to
say,
been lonely since the day,
the day you went away.
So
sad but true,
for me there's only you.
Been crying since the
day,
the day you went away.
This was the latest entry. Tidus-centered, yet again. But it won't make Rikku suspect Yuna's emo! That's a plus! Unfortunately for the authoress, the song seems to fit our blitzer boy too well and Yuna penned the whole thing. (-.-) At least it makes the chapter longer.
Just a day, He said take
my hand, And as he spoke, he spoke ordinary
words And he
said take my hand, Please come with me, Just a dream, just an ordinary dream. And he said take my hand, Just
a day, just an ordinary day
Just an ordinary day.
Just
trying to get by.
Just a boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he
was looking to the sky.
And as he asked if I would come along
I
started to realize
That everyday you find
Just what he's
looking for,
Like a shooting star he shines.
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams lie right
in the palm of your hand
Although they did not feel
For I felt what I had not felt
before
You'd swear those words could heal.
And as I looked up
into those eyes
His vision borrows mine.
And I know he's no
stranger,
For I feel I've held him for all of time.
Live while you can
Don't you see your dreams
lie right in the palm of your hand
In the palm of your
hand.
See what I see.
Touch the
stars for time will not flee.
Time will not flee.
Can you
see?
As I wake in
bed
And the boy, that ordinary boy
Or was it all in my
head?
Did he ask if I would come along
It all seemed so
real.
But as I looked to the door,
I saw that boy standing
there with a deal.
Live while you
can,
Don't you see all your dreams lie right in the palm of your
hand
In the palm of your hand,
In the palm of your hand.
Just trying to get by.
Just a
boy,
Just an ordinary boy.
But he was looking to the sky.
Yuna sighed and closed the book. Why couldn't she find him NOW? About five seconds after Yuna's thought, the commsphere started going off. It was Rikku.
"Yunie! Yunie! We have urgent business in Besaid! Wakka thinks there's a sphere nearby. Possibly hidden near their hut!" Rikku spilled excitedly. It must've been really boring with Gippal, Yuna thought, for Rikku to be this excited over a mission.
"Okay Rikku. I'll get Brother to-"
"No worries! I ran into Pops. He wants to see you, so we're gonna come and get you! Wait outside though, we don't want him running into Brother. There'd definately be some bloodshed."
Yuna yawned. She was too tired from being bored, she didn't even notice how suspicious Rikku was acting, and the fact that Buddy would've told them if he was picking up any sphere waves.
"Alright. I'll be ready in a few minutes and waiting at the Kilika entrance." The airship was docked near Kilika Woods (Why, I have no idea. o.O), so it would be quite a trek into town. She'll need to go ahead and get ready.
"Okie dokie! Let's go Pops!"
"But I wanna say hi tah Yu-"
Click. Rikku "lost" the connection. Yuna stood up and started gathering her dresspheres.
Unbeknownst to Yuna, Rikku was in the Highwind, snickering.
"This is going to be great! I can't wait till Yunie sees Tidie!"
"Rikku! All I wanted to do is say hi to my little Yuna! Why'd you go and end the transmission?"
"Um...I lost the connection?
Yeah, I lost it."
------------Earlier,
with Rikku----------------------
"...Gippal...would you mind repeating that?"
"Y o u r...d a d 's...g o n n a...c o m e...p i c k...u s...u p...w i t h...h i s...a i r s h i p." Gippal said slowly, teasing Rikku. Rikku pouted.
"You KNOW that's the last thing I'd want to do!"
"There's a reason, Riks. Don't worry." Gippal said, grinning. "Oh look, here he is now." Rikku groaned as the airship's door opened.
"Pops! This had better be good, or else I'm gonna kick your-"
"Hi Rikku!" Rikku heard a familiar voice chirp. She looked up to see none other than our favorite guardian.
". . .TIDIE!" Rikku squealed. Instead of the normal hug, or shaking of hands, Tidus was welcomed with a suffocating glomp.
"Ow, ouch, holy crap, Rikku! Let me breathe!" Tidus was struggling to get out of Rikku's death grip. Gippal was simply wondering why HE was never met with a suffocating death glomp. He WAS the self-proclaimed 'Al Bhed Hot, Gorgeous, Smexy, Handsome, Hunky, Smooth, Stylish, Charming, Adorable, Pretty, Stunning, Enticing, Enchanting, Stud Muffiny Man-God' after all. Rikku shouldn't be able to resist his hotness. Stupid ghost blitzer man.
"Ohmigee Yunie's gonna be so happy to see you! We need to get her right now- no, surprise her! That's what we'll do! We'll take you to Besaid, say hi to Wakka and Lulu and Vidina and hide you in the back of the hut and make Yunie come and we'll say that we're looking for a nearby treasure sphere and she'll wanna visit Wakka and Lulu and one of them will tell her to go in the back of the hut and there you'll be and Yunie will be so excited and-"
"Rikku! Okay! Stop! You have a great plan! We get it! Let's do it!" Tidus cut her off due to the fact that she'd probably soon pass out because of lack of oxygen and that his mind was spinning faster than a tornado. Rikku immediately plopped on the ground, gasping for air as if she'd been held underwater, which to Tidus, sometimes, didn't seem like a bad idea.
"By the way, Rikku, why did you call him 'Tidie'? Gippal questioned. How come HE didn't have a playful Rikku-nickname? Rikku shrugged.
"I call Yuna Yunie. I call Paine Paine-y. So that makes Tidus Tidie. In a sense, you would end up being Gippie, Gippal." Gippal simply shrugged. But, if Gippal had an inner Gippal, like Haruno Sakura in the Naruto anime, it would be shouting "SCORE! Nickname! Ten points for the self-proclaimed 'Al Bhed Hot, Gorgeous, Smexy, Handsome, Hunky, Smooth, Stylish, Charming, Adorable, Pretty, Stunning, Enticing, Enchanting, Stud Muffiny Man-God'!"
Cid stepped out from the airship. "Alright! Come on, kiddies! You can glomp Tidus when we're in the airship, Rikku. Just git in!"
"SWEET!"
-----------Later
than earlier but no so late as to have Yuna getting ready to board
the Highwind-----------------------
"Hey
Lu, Rikku said she had a surprise and wanted to put it in the hut,
ya?" Wakka asked his black mage wife. Lulu looked up from the
book she was reading and nodded.
"Yes. Why do you ask?"
"Well, I was wonderin', how big is it? Can we even fit it in the hut? What if it's alive, and it breaks something? Or if it hurts Vidina?" Lulu smirked.
"Don't worry. It won't hurt a fly. Unless, of course, that fly tries to harm the thing it cares for the most." Lulu tends to have a sixth sense, doesn't she? Wakka just stood there, confused. He shrugged it off.
"Oh well. I think Rikku's here. I can hear the airship. This had better be something cool, ya?" Wakka grinned and walked out of the hut.
As the airship landed and the door opened, Wakka noticed a blitzball fling by his head, missing by a few centimeters at the most, bounce off a tree, and fly in the air.
"Hey Rikku! You practicin' the Jecht Shot or somethin'? Can't do it as well as Tidus, though. You need practice, ya?"
"Are you saying I'm underpracticed? Come on, Wakka! I haven't played in forever! But now, as soon as I practice, you have your star player back!" Wakka looked up, mouth agape.
"B-Brudda... Is that really you? Tidus, man, you're alive! That's awesome! But wait, first..." Wakka cautiously walked up to Tidus, and poked him in the chest.
"Yup! He's real. Lu! Come out here!" Wakka didn't have to repeat himself. Lulu was already standing beside him, even before he called.
"It's been awhile, Tidus. Now, you're ready to see Yuna, aren't you? You'll have to wait, though. You can wait inside the hut. Maybe play with Vidina."
"No, no, no, no, no! We have to go along with the plan! Tidie! Go hide in the back room of the hut!" Rikku proceeded to push Tidus through the hut and, erm, practically stuff him in a closet.
"Heeey! When did I agree to this?"
"Earlier when I glomped you! You said "Let's do it!" to get me to breathe, remember?"
"Rikku!"
"Just stay here, Tidus!" Rikku slammed the door, err...curtain. Tidus was confined to a storage room. Great. Rikku skipped up to Wakka and Lulu.
"Now that that's taken care of, time to call Yunie!" Rikku ran inside the airship to get ahold of Yuna on the commsphere, leaving Wakka looking confused and Lulu shaking her head.
----------------------------------
Wakka equals stupid. Lulu equals psychic. Tidus plus Gippal equals ultimate hotness!
