Tidus woke up in his bed. He slowly sat up in bed. He looked around his room. It was still dark out side. Tidus stood up and walked over to his dresser. He pulled out his clothes and got dressed. He climbed down the latter into his mom's room. She was still sleeping. Tidus counited to the kitchen and into the frontroom. He walked out the door and into the cold night. He walked around the island. He saw a small trail inbetween Kairi and Sora's house. He followed it to a tree. There were bords that lined up the tree. Tidus started to climb. He reached the top and no one was on the platform. He sat down on the wood and looked around. On one side was Sora's house and on the other was Kairi's house. He could see directly in to both of the houses. Tidus looked in to Kairi's house and could see her still sleeping with Ashley next to her. 'wonder why Ashley be there and not at Riku's' Tidus thought Tidus turned to Sora's house. He could see Sora sleeping soundly. He looked over to Shuku. 'she looks so cute when she is sleeping.....Sora was lucky that he had her...." Tidus said feeling sad. He countined to stare at Shuku. The sun finally started to rise. Tidus climbed down the latter and walked back to his house. He walked in the front door and could hear his mom just comming down the latter from her room. Tidus climbed up the latter to the kitchen. "Up already." His mom said as he poked his head above the floor. "When is breakfast ready?" Tidus asked pulling him self up through the floor. He stood up tall. He walked over and sat at the table. Tidus mom sat a bowl in front of Tidus and sat down across from him. Thay ate in silence. Tidus finished before his mom. Tidus washed his bowl and put it on the shelf. "Tidus, could you go fishing and get some coconuts for me today?" His mim said. "Yeah, I'll do that now." Tidus said and walked out the door. Tidus walked down to the beach and picked up the net. He stepped into the cold water. He walked till he was waist deep in the water. A school of fish swam by him. He carefully placed the net in the water and the fish filled the net. Tidus picked up the net and watched the smaller fish slip through the holes inthe net. Tidus carried the fish up to shore. He placed the net's pole in the side of the deck where there was a hole. Tidus left it there and picked up the other net. He walked back in to the water and waited till the school of fish swam by again. They finally swam by and Tidus did the same before. He put the net's pole into the other hole and left to go and get the coconuts. Tidus climbed up a tree and stared to knock down coconut. He left that tree and went to the next one. He put the coconuts in a bag and left. Tidus walked over to the fish nets. Then he walked back up to his house. He put the coconuts in the cabints. He walked outside to bring in the fish. He got the first pole and brought it in and threw the dead fish into the freezer. He quickly walked back outside and got the other pole. He threw the fish into the freezer and locked the door. Tidus looked down and smelt his hands. They smelt like fish. He desided to take a quick shower. When he got sone with his shower he walked in to his room to get dressed. After he got dressed he walked at side. When he got on the beach he stoped to looke out into the mysterous ocean. Tidus felt the wind come and felt his blonde hair blow in the wind. He started to think about Shuku till he heard someone call his name. Tidus turned around. Kairi, Ashley and Shuku were running towards him. "Have you seen Sora, Riku, Wakka or Selphie?" Kairi asked "No....." Tidus said. "We can't find them their like gone...." Ashley said shocked. "Their not in their house or anything?" Tidus asked. "NO,....we checked all of their housed and not even their parents are there..." Ashley said "Sora's mom wasnt home when I woke up.."Shuku said "I saw Sora sleeping in his bed today......that was like three hours ago...."Tidus said. "How did you sleeping in his bed?" Shuku asked. "That's not what we want...." Ashley interrupted. "Maybe their all hiding from us or something..." Tidus said. 'think happy thoughts' Tidus said.

After a long day of looking for the others, there was no sign of them. Tidus walked back to his house. He ecpected his mom to be there makeing dinner. She was no where to be seen. I was already dark out. Tidus started to get scared. He looked out the window and saw Kairi, Ashley and Shuku running towards his house. He jumped from the kitchen to the front room. He ran to the door and quickly opened it. Kairi, Ashley and Shuku ran in to his house. "what's wrong?" Tidus asked looking out the door and then closing it. "Our parents arnt home..." Kairi said. "My mom isnt home eather." Tidus said. Tidus looked out the window and saw that it was dark out. "Thay should have been here by now." Shuku said looking worried. They sat down on the couch talking about what was going on. After a while Tidus fell asleep with Shuku's head on his stomach and Kairi on hers and Ashley's on Kairi's.

It was Pitch black. Tidus couldnt see anything. he slowly stood up and squnted. He could see a little bit of light in the distant. He was afraid to step incase he was on a cliff. He sat back down. He was scared, he didn't know what to do. Tidus felt a tear fell down his face, how is he going to save Shuku. She could be lost in this place as scared as he was. He looked upand the light was gettinf closer. Tidus stood up and took one step closer to the light. It was close enough, where he could he blueish green eyes and White wings. He couldn't see who the person was. Then the thing went flying at hima dn hit him like abullet in the stomach. He could feel the pain. He sat up and sa Heartless comming towards him.

Tidus woke up with cold sweat on his face. He looked over to Shuku, who was still laying on is stomach. She was also sweating. Tidus slowly moved her head and shook her up. She screamed. Shuku sat up and looked around. "Where is Kairi and Ashley?" Shuku asked. Tidus just noticed that they wernt there. "I dont know." "The heartless took them" Shuku said. "You had a dream about them too?" Tidus said. "Yeah, I was in a dark place and a bright white light was headed towards me. They had blue eyes. Bright blue eyes. I was in a trance, I couldnt stop staring at them. Then it hit me and I saw heartless." Shuku said "That was the dream I had too but the bright light had brillant blueish green eyes and they had wings." Tidus said. "The last time the heartless came was Three years ago.....I was fourteen then and now Im seventeen and there back......." Tidus said. "What are we going to do?" Shuku said. "I dont know...."Tidus said. "They might be comming for us next." Shuku said. Tidus looked up to Shuku. He noticed that she was sitting close to him."I dont want to die..." Shuku said. Tidus watched a tear form in her eye. It silently fell down her cheek. Tidus put a comforting arm around her. Aonther tear fell down her cheek. Shuku looked up at him. "Were not going to die" Tidus saidtrying to believe him self. Tidus bent down. His lips hoverinf above her. Shuku raised he head and kissed him. While they were kissing Tidus felt a tear slid down his cheek. He knew that he was going to die, there was no way he would be able to defeat the heartless. Tidus and Shuku and on the floor for the rest of the day. At noght they tried not to fall asleep but Nature took over and Tidus fell asleep holding on to Shuku.
