Author's Note: A lot of reviews equals a lot of updates from me.

Seeing Tidus caused Yuna to think differently about them. It was 11:43 p.m., Yuna had on short maroon girl boxers with a black cami-top. She had tied her hair up loosely and was sitting in her bed. Rikku's side of the room was dim because she was fast asleep and had turned off her lamp shade. Yuna's side was brightened up by the lamp she had on. Sitting with her back to the wall, she had pulled up the covers to her waist. Her fingers were rubbing a ring, Yuna looked down at the ring. Her fingers over traced the words, "I promise you I will love you forever."

She looked over at Rikku's bed. Rikku had been under the covers sleeping. Yuna looked back down and slowly slipped the ring back onto her finger. She smiled as she wiped a tear away.

"I will get you back Tidus," Yuna said softly to herself. Shortly after, Rikku began moving. She woke up and sat up. Squinting as she saw Yuna sitting with the ring in her hand.

"Yunie, are you talking to yourself?" Rikku said rubbing her eyes and yawning at the same time. Yuna looked at her and quickly took off the ring and held it in her hand.

"No, just thinking," Yuna said innocently. Rikku eyed her and Yuna shook her head. She grabbed a pillow and laid on her belly at the end of her bed. "I'm thinking about Tidus," Yuna said softly as she let go of her grip on the ring. There the ring laid, in her hand. She stared hard at it.

"You miss him don't you?" Rikku said watching her. Yuna nodded as she looked up at Rikku.

"Every moment I think about what would we be if I didn't want a break," Yuna said almost whispering. "Maybe my life wouldn't be screwed if I didn't even mention it." Yuna sighed as she looked back at Rikku with reassuring eyes. "But maybe if we were really meant to be with each other-we'll be." Rikku nodded as Yuna got up and put the ring back next to her lamp. "Good night Rikku," Yuna stated as Rikku smiled and laid back down. Yuna reached over and switched off the lamp.

Yuna woke up around ten o'clock. Rikku had already left to what Yuna guessed was class. Tying her hair back up and putting on a robe-Yuna decided to get started on her essays that she was behind. Standing up, she cleared the desk they had in their room. Putting cups, make-up assesories, combs and pictures on top of the television. She headed into her closet to pull out her backpack. Taking a seat, she grabbed out her binder and a couple of paper along with a pen and a bottle of white-out. She sighed as she began writing on a new sheet of paper.

After finishing her 2 four paged essays, Rikku was already done with class.

"Yunie! Yunie!" Rikku yelled from the living. Yuna had just finished putting the top back on her white out bottle.

"What Rikku? I'm in our room!" Yuna responded as she blowed on the paper she had used the white-out on. Rikku opened the door and smiled.

"Okay. I know the club thing was a bad idea of meeting new people, but the same guy from the bar. Baralai, he's holding a house party and he invited me. I saw him when I stopped by the convient store to pick up a pack of gummy worms," Rikku smiled.

Yuna looked up at her and shook her head. She got up, papers placed into her folders that were in her binder. She placed her bag back into her side of the closet.

"No. Last time I did that, I hurt the one person I love. I'm not going to do it again," Yuna stated firmly as she went over to her bed to fold the blankets. Rikku ran over to Yuna and began shaking her shoulders.

"No Yunie! I promise. This is a way better party. It's not even a party. It's more of a small gathering," Rikku said with a reassuring voice. Yuna continued to shake her head.

"No. I won't go. Partying just isn't my thing." Yuna said strongly as she shrugged over Rikku's hand and headed over to the studying desk to re-organize everything. Rikku sighed as she plotted down on Yuna's bed. Laying down as she her eyes trailed Yuna.

"What if you didn't have to stay there long. What if I stayed with you the whole time." Rikku paused as she smirked. "What if I said that Tidus was coming."

Yuna stopped organizing the papers and turned around to face Rikku. Her stern face soon wore a smile as she nodded. Rikku jumped up and together the two girls began to hug each other.

"Okay! I'm going to go tell Paine our Thursday night plans so she can clear out her schedule!" Rikku shrieked as she headed out down the hallway and into Paine's room.

Yuna smiled as she looked back at her bed stand. She approached it and picked up the ring. Running her fingers over the engravings she smiled again. Laying it back down she left her room and headed out to join Rikku and Paine's conversation.

Monday night was probably the only night where all three girls could sit down and have dinner. The only night in which neither girls where tired. Twelve fifty-three read the clock, all sitting at the table, various chinese take-out boxes were across with a pair of chopsticks in each. Paine put in a little chow mein in her mouth. She finished up chewing as she looked at Rikku.

"What day is this party Rikku?" Paine asked as she swallowed. Rikku had stuffed orange chicken in her mouth and took a while before responding.

"I think it's Thursday so clear out your plans you too," Rikku eyed as she looked across the table, "can you hand the shrimp fried rice Yunie?"

Yuna looked at Paine and Paine responded with a shrug. Yuna took ahold of the plate and handed in to Rikku. Rikku took a bunch with her chopstick and placed some on herr plate. Yuna watched Rikku and shrugged herself as she took some chow mein and put it in her mouth.

Paine finished up her plate and placed it in the sink. She began to wash her dish along with her glass of water she had just finished. She stood by the counting as she did a light salute to Yuna and Rikku.

"I'm heading to bed, goodnight," Paine said as she walked down the small hallway and turned left into her room. The door closed and a click was heard shortly after. Rikku stopped her eating and leaned back into her chair. Eyes half close as she began to drink water.

"Oh my stomach," Rikku moaned as a hand went over her stomach. Yuna reached over and placed her hand on Rikku's shoulder.

"You okay Rikku? Maybe you need to sleep. Why don't you just go? I'll go and clean up for you," Yuna said softly. Rikku opened her eyes slowly and nodded as she slowly got out of her chair and made her way into their room. Yuna chuckled softly as she placed her elbows on the table, her chin in her hands.

"RING! RING! RING!" Yuna looked over at the counter in the kitchen. The phone was on the hook for the first time in a long time. Yuna looked over at the digital clock in the living room, eleven oseven read the clock. Yuna slowly got out of her seat and picked up the phone from the hook.

"Hello."

"Hello." Yuna paused, she knew that voice. She remember it well. Time after time. Night after night.

"Tidus? Why are you calling?" Yuna asked puzzled. A long pause came in between. Suddenly Tidus answered the question.

"Yeah it's Tidus! And what do you mean? We're friends. Friends can call each other. Unless if that's a rule or a law then I guess I won't," Tidus said trying to act offended.

"No, no," Yuna paused to think, "I'm fine with you calling me as 'friends'. So call anytime you want." Yuna sat down on the couch. Silence was bestowed on the conversation. Heavy breathing was only heard. Finally someone broke the silence.

"So how was your day?" Tidus asked.

"Umm, it was fine. I ended up finishing up my assignments and finally caught up to my class," Yuna responded, "how about you?"

"It was okay except at work. I got yelled at for putting the wrong coffee beans into the wrong coffee maker. So the coffee in that batch was weird. Leaving a bunch of costumers complaining to my manager," Tidus said gruntly.

"Ew, you would do that. Put the wrong coffee beans into the wrong coffee maker," Yuna teased over the phone. She began to laugh and Tidus joined in with her.

"Did you already have dinner?" Tidus asked casually.

"Yeah, why?" Yuna answered and asked.

"Well how about dessert?" Tidus asked again, Yuna smiled.

"No, why? Are you planning to take me away," Yuna said in a gooshy voice. Tidus laughed softly.

"Sure, I was wondering if you'd want to head down to the 24 hour dessert place. On the corner of 25th, I'm craving vanilla ice cream," Tidus offered.

"Yeah sure. I still have that Chinese food flavor in my mouth. How about I meet you there in ten minutes?" Yuna asked.

"Yeah sure. Okay, bye." Tidus said as he clicked off. Yuna put down the phone and headed into her room she change from pajamas to her gray sweats.

Yuna had on light gray sweats with a white cami. She had on her small studs as earrings and her hair in low pig tails that she pulled to the front. She decided to wear her pearl necklace with her white flip flops. Grabbing her apartment key, she placed it in her right hand pocket. Closing the apartment door, she locked it and headed to meet Tidus.

In the distance, she saw a teenager in a pair of black basketball short and a yellow hoodie on. Black basketball shoes was what he was wearing, with his hoodie up. He waved as Yuna approached him.

"Hey Yuna," Tidus said as he quickly patted her back, "well let's hurry and get in. It's chilly out here." Tidus said as he pushed open the door for her. Yuna nodded as she entered.

It was a typical dessert parlor. The floors were tiled a light pastel color. Small circular tables were in the middle with long booths near the window. Straight up ahead was the counter with a sign hanging from the ceiling. With the words, 'Desserts 24/7' in a fancy curvy lettering. Sitting in one of the window booths was a teenage boy and a teenage girl.

Yuna waited for Tidus to lead the way. Tidus approached the counter and looked around for the register. He rang the small bell at the desk. Coming from the back room was a male worker in a white polo shirt with a red and white striped apron.

"Welcome to Deserts 24/7. What would you like today?" The worker said pushing some buttons on the register. Tidus looked back at Yuna and she nodded.

"Um, I'll take a medium chocolate cone with gummy worms and," Yuna paused as she felt Tidus' eyes on her," extra extra sprinkles."

The register nodded and pressed three buttons. Yuna looked away as she observed the teenagers from across the room. Tidus averted his attention back to the cash register.

"I'll have a medium vaniila cup with chocolate syrup and chocolate sprinkles," Tidus said finishing up. Yuna looked back at the cash register.

"That'll be ten fifty," he said as he watched them. Yuna began to look through her pockets, Tidus looked at her and put his right hand up.

"I got it Yuna, no sweat," Tidus said smiling as he reached into his sweater pocket and took out a ten dollar bill and 1 one dollar bill.

The cash register accepted the money and gave back fifty cent. He quickly left and headed into the back room to do their order. Tidus led himself and Yuna to a booth across from the teenagers.

"How did you find out about this place?" Yuna asked as she put her hands into her jacket pockets.

"From a friend, we went here last night so yeah. I love going at night, it's so less people. More quiet," Tidus said as he leaned into the booth to find comfort.

"Oh I see," Yuna said as she looked out the window. It began to dizzle a bit, Yuna watched as the raindrops softly beated against the window. The cash register guy approached their table and dropped off Yuna and Tidus' ice cream orders.

"I love gummy worms," Yuna exclaimed as she began to pick off the gummy worms and putting them into her mouth. Tidus raised and eyebrow and watched her. "What? You want one." Yuna began to pick one and held it from the tip.

Tidus opened his mouth and Yuna laughed as she dropped the worm into his mouth. Tidus chewed and swallowed.

"I haven't had those in a long time. I forgot how good they were," Tidus said as he began get a spoonful of ice cream and put it in his mouth. Yuna giggled and began licking her ice cream.

Fifteen minutes passed and they had finished. Yuna leaned back into the booth, her head leaning against the window. Tidus yawned as he looked at the clock.

"Wow, it's one thirty-three," Tidus said. The dizzle had seemed to gotten worser, the two teenagers had already left. Yuna looked sleepy as her eyes began to close. Tidus stood up and gently shook Yuna.

"Yuna, come on. Let's go," he said softly. Yuna slowly opened her eyes and got up. Tidus led the way outside. Together they stood under the covered of the entrance.

"Tidus, Tidus. Wait, I don't have my key. I can't find it," Yuna said alerted as she began looking through her jacket pockets, "I must have dropped it when I was putting it in my pocket." Yuna said as she looked worried, her eyes looked tired. Tidus watched her as he put his back to her.

"Come on, you can sleep over at my apartment until the morning. Jump on my back," Tidus said as he bent down a little.

"Excuse me?" Yuna said taken a back.

"You're sleeping over at my apartment, now hop on my back. You look too tired to walk. Put your hood on because it's raining," Tidus said with his hood down. Yuna smiled as she stood behind him and pulled up his hood on him. She pulled up her own hood and jumped on his back. Her arms put around his neck, Tidus put his arms around her leg. His left around her left and his right around her right.

"Just go to sleep, you look like Dracula," Tidus joked as Yuna laughed.

"Tidus," Yuna said. Tidus raised his eyebrow as he hummed shortly," thanks." Yuna said as she tried to kiss the side of his cheek but ended up kissing the side of his hoodie. Tidus began to blush as he smiled. Yuna leaned her head against the back of his and began to close her eyes.

Finally reached his apartment, using only one arm he reached into his pocket to take out his keys. Opening the door, he closed it as he headed into his room. He sat at the edge of his bed and carefully laid Yuna on his bed. Taking off her flip-flops, he placed it at the on the floor near the end of the bed. He pulled the covers up to her and watched her sleep. He leaned over at kissed her on the forehead. He slowly closed the door and went into the living room to make himself comfortable for the night.

Yuna slowly opened her eyes and sat up. Looking around she smiled as she laid back down and smelled his pillow. She was surely going to sleep good tonight.

Author's Note: I'm sorry it took forever to update. I've just been busy with my studies and classes along with basketball and all that . This will probably be the longest update and the longest chapter. You don't know how many times I had to re-write this chapter with a totally different beginning and ending. So for that, you MUST review : Please & thank you.
