Author's notes: Here's the reunion chapter, I hope you like it. Also, I'd like people to know that the real reason I wrote this is because after the ending of the game my girlfriend was upset and started crying because of how sad it was. So I decided to make it a happy ending for her.

Single quotes are inner monologue too.







The sun is beginning its final descent into the horizon, cascading an elegant orange hue over the rippling crystal blue waters of the ocean. Sea gulls fly overhead, enjoying the uncanny calmness which seems to be hanging in the air. The picturesque landscape is a place of soothing, of relaxation. It's beauty's sole purpose, to lift the hardships and troubles of the world away from its viewer, to grant peace of mind, if only for a moment. The place is Luca Harbor. The viewer is the newly titled High Summoner Yuna, the last to ever receive the title. Yet regardless of the beauty of the scenery, Yuna can't seem to find her peace. Her troubles coming from a pain much worse than the normal troubles of day-to-day life in a hard world, her pain comes from the loss of a loved one. The most meaningful of loved ones, her one true love. She whistles once again, her hundredth attempt today.

'He's not coming. He promised, and he's not coming. I'll never forget you Tidus. I'll never forget how you made me feel. I was never truly…alive till I meet you. I followed in my father's footsteps, gave everything for Spria. It's what I thought I always wanted. I never gave myself a chance for anything else. Always for Spira, never for me. I wasn't alive, just flowing through life. Spiraling down a forceful river on a heroic notion I got out of awe for my father, out of wanting to help the people of Spira, out of hate for Sin. I didn't even know myself. Till I met you. Then my mission had a purpose, my mission had meaning, Sin couldn't hurt you Tidus, I wouldn't allow it. That night at Macalania, I had to go on, for you. Foolish me, trying to be so heroic, trying to protect you, willing to sacrifice myself for you, and it was you who ended up making the sacrifice. For a land and a time you hardly knew. Why did you leave me? Why won't you come back? I need you Tidus!'

"Kimahri thinks we should go Yuna."

Yuna turns and stares at Kimahri, a smile on her face. The large Ronso standing in silence, expressionless, arms crossed, always with a watchful eye. 'I guess we've all lost something. I still have the greatest group of friends, no, family a person could ask for.'

"Give me a minute Kimahri, I'll meet up with all of you at the airship."

"Kimahri guard Yuna, Kimahri can't go."

"I'll be fine Kimahri, believe me okay. I just need a little more time."

"Call for Kimahri, and Kimahri will come."

With that the ever protective Ronso headed back up the pier towards the airship, where everyone waited for the upcoming voyage of visiting all the villages. Words had to be said, and ties had to be renewed. With Sin gone the political task over bringing order to Spira was still at hand.

"I guess I should get going then Tidus. I'll come back from time to time. You'll hear my whistle someday. I just know it."

With that she lets out one last long whistle, the deafening silence broken by the single sound of her plea. Even the seagulls silenced themselves for this, this cry to the heavens.

'He's not coming.'

She turns away, the marathon walk up the pier still ahead of her. With the future looming in the distance, she turns towards the ocean and takes one last look at the past.

"I'll never let the past go. I'll never forget."

As she takes her first step, her heart stops a beat, the sound of falling water holding her breath.

"You won't have to."

With tears on the verge of bursting, she slowly turns and stares into the eyes of the man she had hoped against hope to see again.

"Tidus…I…"

She can't hold it back anymore and tears begin to flow as her body shakes with the powerful sobs. With tear soaked eyes and a quivery voice she tries to speak.

"Tidus…I…I love you!"

She leaps at him, arms wide open and clings to him like at any moment she'd lose him again forever.

With a gloved hand he slowly tilts her face up to meet her eyes. With a soft smile he leans into her.

"I promised I'd come back. I love you Yuna."

Slowly he leans into her and closes his eyes. Gingerly their lips touch and he wraps his arms around her. They kiss as the sun reaches it's final resting place for the night, and the first stars begin their shine.
