A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks soo much for all your reviews. Those of you who took the time to give me feed back, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate it. You guys are the absolute best! Its also because of you guys that this chapter got posted so fast. This chapter is also my longest one so far. It isn't big on Seymour torture like my last one. It focuses more on Tidus and Yuna. However, my next one will be. Enjoy!


Everyone was getting settled into their rooms and taking a brief break from the plane ride. Rikku plopped down on a bed and kicked off her shoes while Yuna began unpacked her bags on the bed next to her's.

"Ahh, that feels nice," sighed Rikku, sipping her orange sherbet slush through a colourful straw. "Yunie, you should come join me. We'll be spending two days here, there'll be plenty of time to unpack."

Yuna pushed the wooden drawer back into place and went to sit with her best friend. Rikku smiled and moved over to make room for her cousin. Yuna took a seat and tossed her head back, causing her brown hair to slide off her shoulders. She picked up her oreo ice cream drink and was about to began sipping it when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" called Rikku, slightly annoyed at the disturbance.

"It's me ya," came the unmistakable voice of Wakka. "You guys ready yet? We're going to the beach now so hurry up."

"Coming," replied Yuna. She slipped on her green flip flops and grabbed her tube of sunscreen.

"I'll get us towels," said Rikku as she headed into the bathroom.

Once they got everything they needed into their straw beach-bag, Rikku headed over to Wakka's room. Yuna shut the door behind them and turned to face the room directly across from their's. She took a few steps forward and gave the door three soft knocks. The door opened to reveal Tidus, who smiled at her.

"Hey Yuna," he said cheerfully to her.

"I just wanted to make sure you know we're all going down to the beach now," said Yuna happily.

"Yeah, Wakka just came by not too long ago. We're just about ready to go; just waiting for Gippal," Tidus replied, pointing to the bathroom door.

Yuna held out her bottle of sunscreen, "Wouldn't want to get sun burned out there now would you?"

"Thanks," smiled Tidus, taking the bottle and rubbing its contents on any skin that will be exposed to the sun.

The bathroom door swung open and Gippal stepped out. He saw Yuna and dramatically striked a pose for her, pretending to be Superman. Yuna laughed but it died when she saw Seymour walking towards them. He had decided to change his clothes and was now wearing a gray t-shirt and brown shorts. Tidus quickly stepped out into the hall, letting the door shut behind him then grabbed Yuna's hand and started speed walking towards the elevator.

"Thanks," said Yuna, who was blushing slightly from being caught off guard.

"No problem. Remember, I promised to keep an eye on him as well as away from you," replied Tidus with a grin.

They smiled at each other and rode the elevator down in silence, unaware that they were still holding hands. A few seconds later, the shiny metal doors slid open and they walked across the lobby toward the sliding glass doors that led outside. The sun was partially concealed behind a thin sheet of cloud, cooling Kilika a few degrees. Yuna started sipping her rapidly melting ice cream drink again as they headed to the beach.

"Hey!" Rikku shouted from behind them.

They turned around and saw Rikku running towards them, her beach-bag swinging wildly on her arm. Lulu and Wakka were walking at a leisurely pace. Lulu was carrying an ice box and Wakka had a huge umbrella slunk over his shoulder. Yuna raised her left hand to wave at them and noticed Tidus' hand was holding it.

"Sorry," Tidus apologized, blushing as he pulled his hand away.

Yuna shook her head, her cheeks turning bright red, "It's not your fault, you were only helping me."

"Yunie, I thought you said we'd meet in Wakka's room," pouted Rikku when she reached them.

"Sorry," said Yuna with an apologetic grin.

Rikku threw down her straw bag and took out a towel, spreading it out on the sand and sitting on it. Yuna took a seat next to her best friend. She knew Rikku was a bit mad at her for ditching her at the hotel. That was when she remembered she hadn't told Rikku about Seymour yet. Lulu and Wakka finally reached them and Tidus went to help him set up the umbrella.

"Rikku, I want to talk to you," said Yuna. She got up and held out her hand.

Rikku accepted her offer and Yuna helped her up. They strolled a little distance away from the rest of the group then Yuna pulled Rikku to a more private place behind a few palm trees, where she told her everything she learned about Seymour.

Rikku's eyes widened, "Are you serious? That's soo creepy!"

Yuna nodded, "Don't tell anyone though. I don't know what Seymour will do to Tidus if he found out about any of this."

Rikku nodded and pulled her fingers across her lips, as if closing an imaginary zipper. She gave her best friend a hug; an apology for getting mad at her. Together, they walked back to the gang, arms around each others shoulders, joking and laughing. The beach in Kilika had opened only a year ago and it was making the tourist businesses there boom like crazy. Because of this, the beach was very crowded, mainly with younger people who were either playing volleyball or swimming in the crystal clear water. It was also because of this that Yuna had much difficulty trying to make her way through the throng of fans who were encircling her.

"Yuna! I'm a major fan! Can you please sign this?" screamed an excited red haired girl who was waving a notepad and pen wildly in Yuna's face.

"Sorry, coming through, make way please!" Rikku hollered above the din. She had her arms out in front of Yuna, trying to keep some distance between her cousin and the crazed fans.

"Excuse me!" came a blatant voice. "Miss Yuna would like some privacy please!"

The crowd looked around, trying to identify who the voice belonged to. A few seconds later, Seymour pushed through the masses of people and stood next to Yuna, holding out his hand to keep them back and led her back to where Lulu was. Yuna gave him a small smile and he returned it. She was glad Seymour arrived when he did and also for the fact that she had her publicist with her. She looked around for Tidus and spotted him in the water. While Seymour got dragged off by Wakka to get more ice for the ice box, Yuna and Rikku pulled off their shirts and sarongs. Yuna was sporting a forest green, floral print bikini top and boy-short bottoms and Rikku had on a lemon yellow bikini. After loading up on waterproof sunscreen, they both hit the water.

"Gippal!" called Rikku, giving him a shove from behind which caused him to fall face first into the ocean.

Tidus laughed but it hastily turned into a yelp when Gippal reached out and pulled him by the ankle, making Tidus fall down bottom first. He got hold of Yuna's arm before going down, which made her topple on top of him as well as blushing a deep shade of red. Rikku chortled at them but Gippal seized her hand and tugged her into the water as well. After a few hours of fun in the sun, everyone retired back to their rooms to wash up and get ready for dinner. Seymour had arranged for them to go to 'The Kilikan Island', which was a very popular restaurant on the island. It was also considered to be on the high-end of fine dining.

"Yunie, this one or this one?" asked Rikku. She held up a pine coloured, loose-fit long sleeved dress, then a beaded, purple skirt and a crème coloured slightly off-the-shoulder t-shirt.

"Hmm, I think the skirt and cotton top," replied her best friend, who had just walked out from the shower in a white bathrobe and towel in her hair.

Yuna opened the bottom drawer and pulled out a lavender, sleeveless dress. She threw it on and began working on her hair while Rikku tried to match a few bracelets to her skirt. Half an hour later, two gorgeous ladies posed in front of the mirror, adding the final touches to their looks. A knock sounded on the wooden door.

"Yuna, you ready?" came Tidus' voice.

Yuna opened the door, "Yup. Rikku and I are both ready."

Tidus stared in awe. Yuna looked absolutely stunning in her knee-high, v-neck dress. Her hair was set into elegant tousled curls and a silver heart pendant hung from her neck. A pair of pink kitten heeled slippers added the final touches to her evening attire. Tidus was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and black khakis. He held out his arm. Yuna beamed at him and placed her hand on his inner arm.

"You guys go ahead first, I'll wait for Gippal," said Rikku with a mischievous grin.

Yuna and Tidus departed and sat at the very back of the black limo waiting for them at the entrance. Wakka and Lulu joined them shortly. Wakka had on a beige shirt and pants and Lulu wore a black t-shirt dress. A few minutes later, Rikku and Gippal arrived as well. Rikku had left her short, blonde hair down and a few colourful bracelets clinked lightly at her wrist. Gippal had thrown on a maroon polo shirt and black pants. The only person left was Seymour.

"Where is he?" asked Lulu, checking the silver Rolex watch that Yuna had given to her for her birthday, which indicated that they had been waiting for twenty minutes.

Wakka grabbed his cell phone and dialed the hotel number, asking for room 629. He hung up after a few minutes and turned to the rest of the group, "He said he ain't coming. Something about his head hurting or something like that. So we're to go without him ya."

Nobody acted too concerned for Seymour. In fact, everyone was nonchalant about it because they were too busy recounting that days activities with one another. The driver soon pulled up beside 'The Kilikan Island' and they all piled out. The evening air was still humid although the orangey sun was barely visible on the horizon. Yuna stood for a moment, her breath caught in her throat as she gazed at the beautiful sunset. It was a different kind of sunset, one you can't experience in Besaid or anywhere else, and it gave her a sense of peace and serenity. Tidus gently place a hand on her shoulder. Yuna turned around and smiled at him then followed the rest of the gang up a short flight of steps.

"We only have tables up to a maximum of four, sorry for the inconvenience," said the dark haired waitress.

"Well, how 'bout me and Wakka go off to a table and you four can share a table," suggested Lulu.

So they went their separate ways to their tables. Yuna and Rikku sat next to each other and across from Tidus and Gippal. The atmosphere was very romantic. There were lit candles set at each table, the lights were dimmed and a soft tune was playing in the background. A waitress came to their table shortly after they got seated and they placed their orders. Yuna sat back and looked around the restaurant. Although the diner wasn't very spacious, it didn't give anyone a feeling of being crammed in at all. The high ceiling was made of wood that had been spray painted in a way that made it look patchy yet interesting to examine. The sand coloured walls were partially hidden by dried vines that reached towards the ceiling where a giant chandelier hung. The eatery was split into two floors by two sets of stairs, so half of the restaurant was raised up more than the other half in the shape of a ying yang. All the tables were positioned along the wall and around the middle of the circular building. In the very center was a bar and the kitchen was right behind it underneath the raised area.

"Here you are, two lover's meals," announced the waitress when she arrived with their food.

"We didn't order the lover's meal," replied Tidus.

She checked the receipts, "I'm terribly sorry about the mix up. If you don't mind, I'll tell the chef to remake your order."

"No, it's ok," Tidus and Yuna said at the same time.

"We'll just stick with what we have," said Yuna, trying with all her might to fight back a blush that threatened to invade her face.

"To make up for it, your dinner tonight will be on the house. I'm very sorry" apologized the waitress before scurrying off to help another customer.

Gippal snickered, "I guess you two have to share that lover's meal while Rikku and I share this one."

Yuna and Tidus both blushed but Gippal didn't notice since their surroundings were shadowy. The lover's meal consisted of three courses and two glasses of passion fruit smoothies. The first was the appetizer: foccacia cheese toast. Next came the main course, which were heart shaped prime ribs. Finally, the dessert were heart shaped lava cakes. After an hour of chatting and indulging in delicious food, they got up and left. The night air was breezy yet pleasant and there were countless stars in the dark sky. Yuna gazed up at the twinkling dots. She still remembered what her father had told her many years ago. Just like in her dream.

"Yuna," said Tidus softly.

She turned around and saw that the limo had came to pick them up. Smiling, she ducked her head and stepped inside with Tidus following behind. When they arrived back at the hotel, Yuna and Tidus walked back upstairs together. They stopped outside their rooms and bid each other goodnight before turning in. Yuna plopped down on her bed in her star patterned PJ's and threw the covers over her legs, recounting her first day of vacation. A smile spread across her lips. She was glad Seymour hadn't been there or their evening wouldn't have been as enjoyable. There definitely wouldn't have been a second lover's meal. She rolled over onto her stomach and rested her head on the pillow. She still couldn't believe that she had just shared a lover's meal with the guy she was falling for. A warm, fuzzy feeling filled her whole body and she smiled lightly before falling into a pleasant slumber.
