Tidus stood in the center of the village, looking at the temple where he
had first met Yuna.
He remembered what he had thought when he had first seen her.
"You thought she was hot, ya?" said Wakka, startling Tidus.
Tidus turned and looked at him. "Geez, Wakka, don't sneak up on me like that. I would have drawn a sword on you if I had one."
"Eh, that's why I'm here, by the way…" said Wakka, handing Tidus a package he had been holding. "Open it, ya?"
Tidus tore open the package to reveal what was inside. He pulled the long, slender object out. There, in its glistening beauty, was the Brotherhood sword he had lost the day he disappeared.
"We found it on the deck of the airship" said wakka. "Right after you disappeared, Yuna summed up enough courage to look where you had jumped off, and there it was, stuck into the side of the deck."
"Thank you" said Tidus, tears welling up in his eyes. Tidus sheathed the sword and put it away. Wakka turned to walk away. "Wakka!" Tidus yelled.
"Ya Man?" Wakka asked
Tidus turned to look at Wakka. "How did you know what I was thinking?" Tidus asked.
Wakka chuckled. "I'm smarter than I sometimes let on. Oh, and by the way, I'll still be at Lulu's when you want to talk. I'm still trying to convince her you're really here, so I could use your help, ya?"
Tidus started walking towards the hut. "Yeah, Sure. I have something I wanted to say to you guys anyway, I guess now is as good a time as any."
"Eh, like what?' asked Wakka "Your announcing you return to the Aurochs?"
Tidus smirked. "No, something much bigger and better."
Tidus entered the hut first, followed by Wakka. Kimahri and Rikku were standing with their backs to the doorway, watching Lulu make her doll do tricks. Presumably they were waiting for Wakka to return with some "evidence" that Tidus really was here and now.
Lulu was the first to see the duo enter the hut. She fell backwards when she caught sight of Tidus. Instantly Kimahri and Rikku spun around. Their eyes went wide. "Tidus?" they asked in unison.
Tidus almost died laughing. "Yeah, it's me guys, calm down." He said, trying to control his laughter.
Lulu stood up. "I thought you went back to Zanarkand?" she said, blinking her eyes as if they were deceiving her.
Tidus' grin disappeared and was replaced with a look of sorrow. "I did." He said, with a hint of remorse in his voice. "There wasn't much left of it back then, either."
Wakka spoke up. "How ya get back here, man?"
Tidus grinned again. "That's a long story. I'll same it for another time, no pun intended. Tonight I'm here to say something I've wanted to be able to say for a long time, for over a thousand years, at least." He chuckled.
"Yuna and I are getting married!" He said, barely able to contain the glee in his voice.
The whole group looked at him and smiled. Lulu whispered "gee, that's a shocker" under her breath, but it was still to loud.
Tidus laughed, hearing Lulu's remark. "I know, really?" he said, with a big toothy grin.
Suddenly, Tidus heard a whistle, but not with his ears. It was somehow…. In his mind. He turned and ran out the doorway and bolted for Yuna's hut, knowing something was wrong.
He caught sight of the hut, at least what remained of it.
