Yuna finished her speech and walked sadly down the stairs her head bowed. She heard the blitzball game begin behind her. Lulu put her hand on Yuna's shoulder. "You did well, Yuna."

Yuna glanced at Lulu. "Thank you." She responded before she put her head down once again. All of a sudden she walked right into someone.

"Oh goodness. I'm so sor..." The words die in her throat as she recognized the outfit of the person, the feel of their hands. It couldn't be. Oh please let it be! Yuna begged in her mind. She raised her eyes to the man and saw his eyes. It was! Tidus stood before her. "How?" She whispered.

Tidus wrapped his arms around her. "I promised that if you ever needed me all you had to do was whistle. Yuna, I promise never to leave you again. I love you."

Tears run down Yuna's cheeks and she gently pushes Tidus away. "You're real...I dreamt these past few days that you'd come back to me. Then right when I could hold you, you disappeared. I could never touch you. Now here you are." Yuna raised her hands to Tidus' face and cup his cheeks. Her hands moved down his neck to his shoulders, down his biceps. He's real! Yuna allowed her eyes to drink in the sight of him. At first she thought she was dreaming again, but here he was standing in front of her. She could feel Tidus watching her so she raised her eyes to meet with his.

"I'm real Yuna. I promise."

"You're real. Finally you're back with me." Yuna jumped at him wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. She pulled away gasping and crying. "Don't ever disappear again. Please. I beg you. I can't lose you again!"

"I promise." Tidus smiled and leaned down and kissed Yuna tenderly. When they separated they were both smiling.

Tidus and Yuna walked from the stairwell and saw the guardians waiting for them. "I'm back!" Tidus smiled at everyone.

Rikku had tears in her eyes. "I told you we'd see you again!"

Lulu smiled stunning everyone. "It is good of you to return to us, Tidus."

Yuna watched as Tidus nodded to both the women and smiled. "Nice to see you guys again. I missed you."

Wakka grinned and gave Tidus a friendly punch in the shoulder. "You won't be leavin' poor Yuna again, ya?"

"Yeah!" Tidus agreed.

Kimahri smiled, baring his teeth, which to any other group would seem sinister. "Kimahri happy to see little Tidus with Yuna."

Tidus smiled happily at Kimahri. "Thanks."

Yuna watched in wonder as Tidus hugged everyone hello. This man, Tidus, is the man she wants to spend her life with and he's back with her...and best of all he loves her in return.

"Now guys I'm going to take Yuna away for a while. Okay?" Tidus looked at each guardian, all of which nodded their approval. Yuna smiled broadly as Tidus took her hand and lead her down the road.
