The cool evening air blew against Yuna's face, upsetting her burgundy colored hair. She gazed lazily up at the sunset, streaked with magenta and orange and could see Tidus approaching her from the corner of her eye. The blonde haired blitzer laid a gloved hand on her shoulder and sat on the grass beside her

"Suteki da ne?" Yuna asked still staring at the magnificently colored sky.

"Yeah, kinda like you," Tidus replied turning her face so that he could see it.

She looked up at his cerulean eyes and recalled the first time they kissed at Macalania Lake. He looked at her the same way he did then and Yuna thought he would do the same. When she gazed out of the penetrating stare she let out a small gasp. Tidus was slowly fading away, his skin was becoming transparent.

Tidus, who had looked down and didn't see the look of shock on Yuna's face, said, "You know, I've never had the chance to say this, but---"

By now he was almost completely gone. Yuna cried out and reached for him only to catch air in her hand.

Tidus said three words, "I love you," but Yuna could only see his lips move before he vanished.

"He disappeared, again," she sobbed, tears escaping from her aquamarine and emerald green eyes, "Just like one year ago."

Yuna awoke from her half nightmare, half pleasant dream with a scream, startling everyone at the inn. Tears stung her face making her face blotched and puffy.

"Yuna! Are you alright?!" Lulu exclaimed as she swept into the room.

Yuna nodded, "I'm so sorry! I probably woke everyone in the building.

"Was it Tidus again?" Lulu asked, wiping Yuna's tears away with a tissue.

Yuna nodded again, "They're getting worse, I just can't take it anymore!"

Yuna, you must face the truth, he's gone now. You must live on and have a normal---"

"Don't even say it! I can't have a normal life without him! I just, just, I'm going to the Farplane!" she got out of bed and put her kimono on.

Yuna, it's only 3:00 and we're all the way in Luca, can't this wait?"

"I'm going now, come or not."

Lulu sighed and followed her out of the room, 'She's becoming more stubborn every day.'

In the hallway Yuna stumbled into a very tired looking Rikku, "Umm, Yunie, whatcha---"she noticed the sadness in Yuna's eyes, "another dream?"

Lulu nodded.

"Where are ya going?"

"The Farplane," Lulu and Yuna said in unison.

"Well then, I'm coming along to,"

The three girls made their way out of the inn and into the noiseless street, "C'mon," Rikku said and beckoned them toward the docks, "Let's see.my dad said he'd parked the airship at dock, umm, four."

A few minutes later they found the airship at dock # 4 bobbing up and down in the water peacefully. They climbed onto the deck and into the door way. When they made their way onto the bridge, they found Rikku's brother snoring peacefully in the driver's seat.

Rikku giggled, crept up to him, and screamed in his ear, "Hey! Wake up sleepyhead!"

Her brother shot out of his seat and nearly banged his head on the ceiling.

Rikku was now laughing so hard, she fell over.

Noticing who is was, her brother mumbled a few curse words in AlBhed and started up the engine.

Rukki-san: R&R! State your ideas! Please don't flame me!

Yuna: BTW, for those who don't know, "Suteki da ne" is Japanese for "Isn't it Beautiful".

Brother: Will Rikku stop annoying me? How does Yuna really feel about going to the Farplane? Find out on the next chapter of "Return to Spira".
