Chapter Eight

Author's Note: Okay so last chapter was about Riku. This one's centering on Tidus. I feel bad for Tidus in this chap; it also kind of makes me mad at Riku…

Title: Self-Improvement

Time: During KH2 (we made it to the second game! Rejoice!)

Rating: T (language I guess, plus I'm sick of all these chapters being so darn clean, so I over rated this one…)

Summary: In spite of Riku's absence, Tidus gets on with life while making a few… Improvements…

Disclaimer: I'm listening to the Beatles right now… I'm bored.

Tidus wasn't a pessimistic guy. But when you realize that the love of your life does not in fact love you back for the second time well… It takes its toll.

But as said before Tidus is not a pessimistic person. And so when he remembered how incredibly hopeless his situation was he decided to "make the most of it" as his mother always said to do. Thus he decided that if he wasn't good enough for Riku before he left then he'd just have to get better. And fast. After all there was no knowing when he and Sora would get back from wherever.

So Tidus started dressing better. Instead of going to flea markets he went to stores one can find clothes featured in magazines. Girls had always thought he was fairly good looking. But it seemed fairly wasn't enough for Riku so he'd just have to get better.

He started taking his studies much more seriously, more so than before. He'd always gotten good grades before but those grades, evidently, were not enough for Riku. So they had to get better too.

Now Tidus had always been pretty healthy, he ate okay and definetly got enough exercise via the Blitzball Team. But obviously that wasn't enough exercise and it seemed once again Tidus found an area in which he had to get better.

So he went too good clothing stores, and spent a lot of time in the gym, and studied so much more cause when he saw Riku again he was going to knock him off his feet. And come rain or high hell (did I get that quote right?) he was going to get Riku.

Author's Note: Yeah short chapter, sorry. Then again, this might be the closest I've ever come to writing a drabble that's well… Drabble-sized.

Please review and tell me how I'm doing! During the next chapter and the rest of this series we will enter the unexplored territory known as "after KH2". DUN DUN DUN!!!
