Part Two
"Come on, Yunie, you have to pull yourself together. We all know how sad you are that Tidus is gone, but we're all feeling that loss. I know that he meant more to you, you loved him. Please, stop crying, can you do that for me?" the petite Al Bhedgirl asked he cousin.
Yuna looked at Rikku with her tear-stained face and tried to smile. Rikku smiled back at her cousin, even though she was hurting as well. Rikku glanced over at the third occupant of the room and nodded. The Ronso nodded back and said, "Kimarhi know Yuna is sad. Kimarhi know what Yuna is going through. Kimarhi lost loved ones, too, when Seymour attacked Ronso tribe. But Kimarhi knows that Ronsos are still alive and will be back soon. Ronso tribe is strong, they'll return even stronger." As the Ronso had finished his piece, he turned from the room and started to leave. When he was in the door he told Yuna, "Be strong."
"How can Kimarhi say that? It's one thing for the Ronso, they were real. They just didn't disappear. Tidus was a dream, he just vanished. I told him that I loved him, yet he didn't say anything back," Yuna said to he friend.
"You're right, Tidus was a dream and he was meant to leave us in the end. Yet, he was real, too. He fought with us and shared our pain. If that doesn't make him real, then I guess nobody in the world is real. And the reason that he didn't say that he loved you back, well the way I saw it, he was in pain. The look on his face was one of sorrow. He knew that he was hurting you when he was leaving. He didn't want to hurt you more by saying those three little words. But I can tell you for a fact Yuna, he did love you with all his heart," Rikku replied sounding wiser than her fifteen years.
"Thank you, Rikku, you're here trying to cheer me up and it's working somewhat. I knew that he loved me, but I just want to hear him say those word to confirm it. Now, I'll never hear it, and I'm sad," Yuna told her young cousin. With that, Rikku understood the one way that she could help her cousin.
"Listen, Yunie. I thought of something, if what you say is true about Tidus being dream, then he should be able to come back if we think of him. Try to remember the feelings you two shared together. If you think of him enough, he just may come, because I know wherever he is at the moment he's thinking of you." After she told Yuna what she had thought, she began to leave Yuna's room of the airship. When she was at the door, she turned around and said, "Tidus is strong, he'll find a way to return to you. I know it."
"Thank you, cousin. You've helped me enough, I'll have to do the rest myself," Yuna told Rikku. Rikku looked at her friend as said, "No problem, you get better, okay." And with that last comment she left the room.
Yuna just sat on her bed thinking about Tidus. She remembered the time Tidus had interrupted her wedding to Seymour, she was overcome with joy to see him standing there to save her. She thought about that wonderful moment in the lagoon of Macalania Forest. They had shared their first kiss there and it brought tears to her eyes. She thought back to the fight with Yunalesca, they had fought to end the cycle of Sin. He didn't want to her to die to bring the calm, he did love her dearly. She could help herself, she broke down into tears. As she continued to cry over her lost love, she heard a knock at her door.
"Yuna, can I come in, ya."
It was Wakka. "He was coming to see if she was okay," she hoped. "Yes, please come in Wakka."
Wakka opened the door and stepped into her room. He looked down at her face and saw that she had been crying recently. As quickly as he had entered, he was gone again. The young summoner wondered why one of her guardians would do a thing like that. She had thought that guardians were strong, physically and emotionally. Soon her thoughts were interrupted by another knock on her door, it was Lulu this time. "Did Wakka come and see you, Yuan?"
"Yes he did, but he left right after he saw me. Why did he do that? Did I scare him?" Yuna asked.
"No, you didn't scare him. You just made him see the truth in the current situation. For that, I thank you. Get some sleep, you've been up a while," Lulu said.
"I am a little tired, good night Lulu. Thank you for all you've done for me." Yuna curled up onto her bed and fell fast asleep.
Before Lulu left, she knelt down and placed the blankets over Yuna's body. "You're stronger than I give you credit for, pleasant dreams." Her dreams were pleasant, they were filled with images of Tidus.

Author's Note: Since I got some good reviews for the original, I thought I try to write another side to the story. I already have an idea for third and possibly a fourth part. Stay tuned this might get longer than I expected it to be. Please read and review, I always like to hear what you have to say.
