Chapter Three
After that I fell asleep with a strong pain in my heart..the feeling that all was lost. Well, let me tell you something: it's not!! Something wonderful happened today that I can't wait to tell! It was kind of like a second chance. ~~
This morning I woke up to a knock on my door. I opened it to find myself face to face with Tidus' High Priest, Master Chandelle. "Master," I said with a head bow. "Father, what brings you here?" "Get dressed at once child and meet me in the court yard. It's an emergency." he said. Before I could ask anymore questions he was gone. Quickly strutting down the hall and to the left. Emergency? I thought. What could that be? What did I do now? Okay, maybe a lot of things but I don't think that Tidus would take it so seriously that he would call his High Priest down to talk to me. Then another thought struck me. Oh no...Shana! She must have talked to Tidus like she said she was going to! Oh God, why me? I closed my door and looked around my room. As my mother would say, "Don't procrastinate. Take your consequences with pride." ..So I did just that. I grabbed a purple stringed skirt and a hooded tank top. Instead of putting my hair up into it's normal bun I just left it down...the last time I did that was on a date with Squall. Anyway, lastly I clasped the pearl necklace around my neck like I normally do and tied a sapphire and black colored ribbon around my neck too. Before I finally left I looked back my reflection. It didn't look like me...it looked like a girl about 17 who was really brave, outgoing and..beautiful. Is this what Endymion and Tidus saw in me? Tidus..he's waiting for me. I shouldn't keep him waiting, as Shana would say. So, with that thought in mind, I paced out of my room and down the freezing, ice-cold hallways. Sometimes I wonder why the people that work that the palace just can't turn on the heat in here. Probably the main reason was because it was 78 degrees outside and for some weird reason, it was freezing in the palace. I stopped once the court yard doors were in front of me. I was afraid to go inside even thought my mother's saying still rang inside of my head. Why was I scared? It was just Tidus, right? The next moment I found myself slowly opening the huge doors and walking inside. The sun shined on my face..I looked up at a perfectly clear, cloudless sky. "This way, Lady Yunalesca," a voice said. I looked back down to face Master Chandelle again. Instead of saying anything I just nodded and followed him. The next few steps in the court yard were covered in roses, both red and white. Endymion would have loved it in here (but for some reason only royalty was allowed beyond those doors behind me). The next moment I saw why. Master Chandelle opened another set of doors and a garden of, I'll say 900, beds of flowers stood before us. I gasped and looked up to the Golden Angel sitting in the middle of it all, on the ground. "He wants to talk to you." master said before he quickly left. Maybe I should have followed him but my heart led up a path to a big spot of grass where the Angel sat. "Please sit down," he said to me. "I need to ask you some things." I gulped and slowly kneeled down next to him. Once I was eye level with him I couldn't meet my eyes with him anymore. "Ask away," I said looking up at the sky. He took a long pause before saying, "I talked to Shana Twilight last night." "And?" I snapped rudely, without thinking. "And, she told me some things." "What things are those?" He paused again and answered, "She said you think of me as a golden angel. You would give your virginity to me if I wanted it." Oh my God! She went that far? GOD! WHAT THE HECK!?! Then I looked him in the face and murmured, "I guess you know the truth now." "I didn't believe it at first..but then I thought, 'Shana isn't one to lie.' That is the truth, right?" I nodded and said, "Shana has never had a reason to lie." After that he didn't say anything so I breathed, "I bet I scared you away, huh?" And then..he smiled at me! How strange...what the..? "What if I said to you I wanted your virginity," he said still grinning. And then said with after a pause, "At some time." Then I grinned too. "I would probably give it to you then."
He really did love me! It wasn't a lie..I could tell by the sincere look on his face. No one lies like that. The next moment after that I found myself in his arms, smothering his face in kisses of light pink lip gloss. "I love you...very, very, very much! I never want to let go!" I told him between kisses. "Then don't...and I won't either," he said. "I have waited so long for this, Yunalesca." Inside I felt something growing. I didn't know what and it scared me. It was like I couldn't control my body. "Tidus," I said finally stopping. We were both breathing hard. I had to take a deep breath to continue. "Are you are a Summoner like I am? Or maybe just a blessed half Summoner?" He took a deep breath too before answering, "Yes, I am. Well, I'm actually a blessed half Summoner as you put it. My mother was human and my father was a Summoner. My father and mother broke up when I was only six. Then he met the Queen Amiya, who is Shante's mother. She was the one that killed him when I was nine. The reason she kept me was because, as she put it, I was 'A precious little child that could proudly take the throne'. That was also the year you came to the palace. You came a two months after she had killed him. She acted as if it never happened..like she never met him. That wasn't real love. I even knew that at my young age." I didn't know what to say. I never knew any of this. It was even worse then the tragedy of Sitora. "I'm sorry. I didn't know..." I kissed him on the forehead this time. "I don't know what to say. I'm just sorry...that is even worse then the disaster of my city Sitora." "Sitora? Wasn't that the place of the Temple called 'The Temple of Aeons'?" Tidus raised his eyebrow at this. "You once lived there?!" "Yes," I said somewhat taken back. "What's the big deal? No one ever went to that temple anyway. I think everyone forgot about it." "Yes they did. Didn't you know why? Its power was incredible and the people of Al Bhed were afraid of it." "Al Bhed?" I asked stupidly. "But they were the town we traded with all the time. That's where I was born. Why would they destroy it? I mean, I speak that language and lived there until I was four. After that I moved to Sitora and lived there until it was destroyed when I was seven." "The history books never said anything about Al Bhed and Sitora being partner cities. It just said Al Bhed destroyed the place." he informed me. "I could learn a lot about you, Yunalesca. We could change the history books..correct them." Squall never cared about history books or the people that were killed in Sitora. All he cared about was that he was alive and he selfishly had little old me to himself. I noted. Tidus is really different then Squall. "Yunalesca," Tidus said to me, breaking my thoughts. "You know what? I think we need each other and I'm glad we finally found each other. Don't you think so, too?" I nodded my head and kissed him again...I just couldn't get enough. "Yes, you bet! I just can't get over you. You really are a golden angel." "And you are my Summoning Princess." he remarked, kissing me back this time. I think it was a french kiss...it came so quickly and sweetly. Almost like a blur, all of this could have been a dream for what I know. "Yunalesca," he said my name again. "I want to know what you're thinking. Why you went out with Squall and hurt me." "Hurt you?" I questioned. "I didn't know since you weren't important to me then. The love of my life was Squall the loser, which I am very ashamed of. In the end I found out he played me, only wanted a girlfriend." "For a year almost?" he seemed shocked. "He really was a loser. How can you play a girl for that long? Heck, how can you play someone at all?!" "Quite simple," I joked. "I might just be playing you right now." "Yeah, and what if we play each other? What will come of that, I wonder?" "I've never thought about that. I guess nobody's played each other. It was always one played the other." I told him. "I guess it would be kind of funny if both of them played each other." "It would," Tidus agreed. "But I couldn't bring myself to do that. I'm sorry, Yunalesca." I laughed. At two things actually because: 1) Tidus keeps calling me Yunalesca and he kind of has an accent (it sounds funny!). And #2) I couldn't play him either. I love him so much (and I hope he feels the same way). After that nothing else really happened. I think I fell asleep in his arms and he carried me back to my bedroom, where I am right now. I keep thinking it was all a dream. For all I know, it was.
After I refreshed that into my memory I fell into a deep sleep again. Dealing with all of this has really worn me out and makes me tired. I woke up this morning to a note on my door that I noticed after I had already gotten dressed. A note written in Tidus' shaky handwriting read: "To Lady Yunalesca Rosalay Wingly:
Hey Yunalesca, I would like you to meet me in the garden once you get up, I'll be there all day. The garden is always a nice place to study, and I want to show you some new pictures of Aeons I have. Maybe you've seen them before. See you. With much love, Tidus
How strange, I thought. He all bolded out his name..I wonder why that is. Maybe it makes him feel important. Why does he have to be so formal? Oh well! At least he's not like Squall, whose middle name was slang. I tightened the string on the chest of my skirt and quickly did my hair up in the regular bun. I didn't want to keep him waiting. Before I left I ripped the note off of my door and tucked it into my pocket, speeding down the hall towards the left hallway. Right away I could spot Tidus in the middle of the garden, talking to my brother, Endymion. "Hey guys!!" I called out. "What's up?!" They both turned to look at me, both with smiles on their faces. I gave them a wry smile and walked up to them, not hesitating like I normally do. "Good morning, Yuna," Endymion greeted me, and then got right down to his question of the evening. "Have you seen Shante yet?" I shook my head and told him, "Not yet. I don't think she's even up yet. I'd enjoy my time alone while I still had it if I were you." Then I turned to Tidus, stood up on my tip-toes to give him a kiss and remarked, "Why are you so tall?" "You think 6'4" is tall? You should have seen my dad." he improved. "That man was so tall, it was unbelieveable!" I guess it wasn't that hard not to believe since Tidus was so tall himself. "Well, now what I brought you down here for." He took a brown torn book off of the near by table and gave it to me. The pictures inside of it were beautiful and unreal. I didn't believe these things could actually be living creatures. "Now, those pictures are only one-millionth of its real size." and then he turned the page for me to see even more of these brilliant creatures. "What do you think of all of this, Yunalesca? Did your mother, High Summoner Charm, ever teach you any of this?" "No, she never did," I said. "When I was a little child I heard her say that she didn't want to ruin my life by making me into a Summoner. But my father, who is long gone now, convinced her to change her mind and do her best to make me one..which, I'm sorry to say, she isn't doing now." "I think she's just glad I didn't inherit any of her powers." Endymion told us. "Other wise I think she would have been on my case too." "Don't worry, Yunalesca," Tidus said. "I'm sure you'll fulfill your dreams someday. And if you don't, I'll be right here with you." He placed his hand on my shoulder, sending a chill of power down my spine. I fell to the ground in confusion and bewilderment. What was this strange current of energy I felt every time Tidus touched me? "Are you okay?" he asked me with a look of concern. "Yunalesca, what happened?" "I-I don't know..." I shuddered. "It was like..a strange spark ran down my spine. I guess I just wasn't expecting it. I'm okay." "I guess I just have this weird effect on woman," he joked. "What do you think?" I gave him a fake smile and said, with a little false giggle, "I guess so. You're just too cute for me." "Are you sure that it's not the other way around?" I tried to get up but still couldn't move a bone in my body. What was up? I had never felt so much power in my life and now that suddenly Tidus came into my life it swipes over me. Could this be a sign or something? "Yuna," Endymion murmured. "Do you need help getting up or something?" He tried to help me up but it was like my body was made of Jell-O..nothing would cooperate. "Man, this is bad!" Tidus whispered to Endymion. "I didn't mean to hurt her! I only wanted her to feel better and not left out!" "It's not your fault," Endymion reassured him. "I'm sure she's going to just fine in a few hours of rest. Will you pick her up for me?" Tidus nodded and knelt down beside me. One of his hands went behind my back and the other was placed on my bottom...strange coincidence, huh? Of course I didn't say any of this out loud, but I'm sure my expression revealed a lot. As we were going down the hall we passed my room. What the..? "You guys," I spoke up. "Uh, I think you passed my room." "We're not going to your room," Endymion informed me. "You're going to rest in Tidus' room because it gives off more sunlight. I think that's just what you need." Tidus' room?! I panicked. Oh no, you can't make me go there! Are you insane, Endymion?!? How in the world will I ever get in sleep in there when probably everything in there will remind me of my Angel and I won't be able to calm down, and... Too late. We were already there and I felt this was my death sentence. Tidus' room? Why me? Endymion stepped in front of us and opened the door. I looked around the room I had only seen once before. Endymion pulled out the covers and Tidus carefully set me down. It was so weird, one second ago I was feeling that I probably couldn't fall asleep in his room, and now, that I lay on his bed, I felt sleepy already. "Need anything?" Tidus asked me. "I can get you anything you want." "No thanks, I just need rest." I heard myself say. I didn't even see them leave since I was asleep way before that. During my sleep I had this really strange dream of the battle of the end of the world. Squall was the devil and my Angel was God. And there I stood in the middle of it, a lowly Summoner that was no help. "Tidus!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Hang in there!!! I'll help..." I cupped my hands together and..a strange glow came from them that felt so familiar and I cast my first spell. It was much stronger than I expected, but hey, it was a dream after all. And I, all by myself, stopped the devil Squall. I couldn't believe it. At the end of the dream I ended up marrying God (Tidus) and became a powerful, untouchable goddess that every man wanted. Even dumb butt Squall. Of course he couldn't have me!! ...Then I woke up..I just suddenly woke up before I had my first child. This wasn't Sin's poison and for the first time in my life, I had actually had a good dream. I rubbed my eyes opened and my vision came into focus. My first good dream in my entire life and I felt so happy. I felt, right then and there, that Tidus and I were absolutely meant for each other. I mean, I had never had these dreams before and now that I met him they finally came. Take that, Sin!! You know what the funny part was? I cast magic! Yeah right! Maybe when I'm an old woman or something but surely not now. We all know that already, right? "Having fun, huh?" a voice laughed. I looked up and turned a crimson red. What an airhead I am. "Oh! Don't tell Squall any of this!" I yelled. "He'll just laugh at me and have another reason to make fun of me!!" "I don't think he would laugh at you since he's been asking about you a lot now." "And why is that, Cloud?" "I don't know...but he told me to give you this when he heard I was going to go see you. Mumbling something about not wanting to go into Tidus' room." He handed me this folded about ten times paper...it looked really weird like that if you ask me. It read:
YUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (why there are so many explanation marks are beyond me) You're going with Jerk-Off to Brat's b-day party, right? Say, could you at least dance with me once? I miss ya, Summoner! I don't care if you hate me and never wanna see my disgusting face ever again. I MISS YOU!!!!!!!! Well, see ya, Lady Summoner!!!!
Squall (a.k.a. RETARD!!!!)
Of course it didn't read "RETARD!!!!"...I added that for the heck of it because after the break-up, I always thought he was one. "Anything important in there, Lady Summoner?" Cloud questioned me. "I didn't get the chance to read it." I handed him the note and he quickly read over it. Took a deep pause before saying, "But I thought he was going with..." "With who?!" I didn't mean for it to come out in a threatening voice, it just did. "Tell me NOW!!" "Uh," he said in a timidly, I think he was afraid that I was going to slap him or something. "I can't say. I really don't know. I think Tidus is waiting in the hall for you. Bye!!" "COME BACK HERE!!!!" I echoed through the halls. "Cloud, wait!!" But he was long gone and the Golden Angel gracefully walked in. I suddenly lost my voice. "Did I interrupt something?" he asked. "Should I go get him?" "No," I answered quickly. I think it was best that Tidus didn't know that I still had some feelings for Squall. Would he get mad..? "It was nothing. When is Shante's birthday party?" "In two hours about, I guess. She's been in her bathroom all morning getting ready. Says she needs your help on deciding what to wear but I told her you were ill." Ill? That was one word that definitely wasn't in Squall's vocabulary. Sick or diseased maybe, but never ill. "Are you feeling better now?" "I'll be fine," I told him shaking the Squall thought out of my head. Evil bastard. "I better hurry and get ready. Don't have much time." "Yes," he said watching me get up. My legs were still weak but I was able to walk. No dancing for me tonight (dang-it! everyone would miss my dance of the Sending! what I famous for!). "Need help getting out?" "No." I said rudely. I guess I was just a little irritable. Sorry, Angel. I staggered down the hall, hitting the wall a couple times but he didn't come to help me. He understood that I needed my space. I almost fell flat on my face when I tried to open my door. Thank God I didn't because he followed me to my room. "See you, Yunalesca," he helped close my door. "See you tonight, my princess."
After that I fell asleep with a strong pain in my heart..the feeling that all was lost. Well, let me tell you something: it's not!! Something wonderful happened today that I can't wait to tell! It was kind of like a second chance. ~~
This morning I woke up to a knock on my door. I opened it to find myself face to face with Tidus' High Priest, Master Chandelle. "Master," I said with a head bow. "Father, what brings you here?"

"Please sit down," he said to me. "I need to ask you some things." I gulped and slowly kneeled down next to him. Once I was eye level with him I couldn't meet my eyes with him anymore. "Ask away," I said looking up at the sky. He took a long pause before saying, "I talked to Shana Twilight last night." "And?" I snapped rudely, without thinking. "And, she told me some things." "What things are those?" He paused again and answered, "She said you think of me as a golden angel. You would give your virginity to me if I wanted it." Oh my God! She went that far? GOD!

He really did love me! It wasn't a lie..I could tell by the sincere look on his face. No one lies like that. The next moment after that I found myself in his arms, smothering his face in kisses of light pink lip gloss. "I love you...very, very, very much! I never want to let go!" I told him between kisses. "Then don't...and I won't either," he said. "I have waited so long for this, Yunalesca." Inside I felt something growing. I didn't know what and it scared me. It was like I couldn't control my body. "Tidus," I said finally stopping. We were both breathing hard. I had to take a deep breath to continue. "Are you are a Summoner like I am? Or maybe just a blessed half Summoner?" He took a deep breath too before answering, "Yes, I am. Well, I'm actually a blessed half Summoner as you put it. My mother was human and my father was a Summoner. My father and mother broke up when I was only six. Then he met the Queen Amiya, who is Shante's mother. She was the one that killed him when I was nine.

I woke up this morning to a note on my door that I noticed after I had already gotten dressed. A note written in Tidus' shaky handwriting read: "To Lady Yunalesca Rosalay Wingly:

"When I was a little child I heard her say that she didn't want to ruin my life by making me into a Summoner.

I fell to the ground in confusion and bewilderment. What was this strange current of energy I felt every time Tidus touched me? "Are you okay?" he asked me with a look of concern. "Yunalesca, what happened?" "I-I don't know..." I shuddered. "It was like..a strange spark ran down my spine. I guess I just wasn't expecting it. I'm okay." "I guess I just have this weird effect on woman," he joked. "What do you think?" I gave him a fake smile and said, with a little false giggle, "I guess so. You're just too cute for me." "Are you sure that it's not the other way around?" I tried to get up but still couldn't move a bone in my body. What was up? I had never felt so much power in my life and now that suddenly Tidus came into my life it swipes over me. Could this be a sign or something? "Yuna," Endymion murmured. "Do you need help getting up or something?" He tried to help me up but it was like my body was made of Jell-O..nothing would cooperate. "Man, this is bad!" Tidus whispered to Endymion. "I didn't mean to hurt her! I only wanted her to feel better and not left out!" "It's not your fault," Endymion reassured him. "I'm sure she's going to just fine in a few hours of rest. Will you pick her up for me?" Tidus nodded and knelt down beside me. One of his hands went behind my back and the other was placed on my bottom...strange coincidence, huh? Of course I didn't say any of this out loud, but I'm sure my expression revealed a lot. As we were going down the hall we passed my room. What the..? "You guys," I spoke up. "Uh, I think you passed my room." "We're not going to your room," Endymion informed me. "You're going to rest in Tidus' room because it gives off more sunlight. I think that's just what you need." Tidus' room?! I panicked. Oh no, you can't make me go there! Are you insane, Endymion?!? How in the world will I ever get in sleep in there when probably everything in there will remind me of my Angel and I won't be able to calm down, and... Too late. We were already there and I felt this was my death sentence. Tidus' room? Why me? Endymion stepped in front of us and opened the door. I looked around the room I had only seen once before. Endymion pulled out the covers and Tidus carefully set me down. It was so weird, one second ago I was feeling that I probably couldn't fall asleep in his room, and now, that I lay on his bed, I felt sleepy already. "Need anything?" Tidus asked me. "I can get you anything you want." "No thanks, I just need rest." I heard myself say. I didn't even see them leave since I was asleep way before that. During my sleep I had this really strange dream of the battle of the end of the world. Squall was the devil and my Angel was God. And there I stood in the middle of it, a lowly Summoner that was no help. "Tidus!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. "Hang in there!!! I'll help..." I cupped my hands together and..a strange glow came from them that felt so familiar and I cast my first spell. It was much stronger than I expected, but hey, it was a dream after all. And I, all by myself, stopped the devil Squall. I couldn't believe it. At the end of the dream I ended up marrying God (Tidus) and became a powerful, untouchable goddess that every man wanted. Even dumb butt Squall. Of course he couldn't have me!! ...Then I woke up..I just suddenly woke up before I had my first child. This wasn't Sin's poison and for the first time in my life, I had actually had a good dream. I rubbed my eyes opened and my vision came into focus. My first good dream in my entire life and I felt so happy. I felt, right then and there, that Tidus and I were absolutely meant for each other. I mean, I had never had these dreams before and now that I met him they finally came. Take that, Sin!! You know what the funny part was? I cast magic! Yeah right! Maybe when I'm an old woman or something but surely not now. We all know that already, right? "Having fun, huh?" a voice laughed. I looked up and turned a crimson red. What an airhead I am. "Oh! Don't tell Squall any of this!" I yelled. "He'll just laugh at me and have another reason to make fun of me!!" "I don't think he would laugh at you since he's been asking about you a lot now." "And why is that, Cloud?" "I don't know...but he told me to give you this when he heard I was going to go see you. Mumbling something about not wanting to go into Tidus' room." He handed me this folded about ten times paper...it looked really weird like that if you ask me. It read:
YUNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (why there are so many explanation marks are beyond me) You're going with Jerk-Off to Brat's b-day party, right? Say, could you at least dance with me once? I miss ya, Summoner! I don't care if you hate me and never wanna see my disgusting face ever again. I MISS YOU!!!!!!!! Well, see ya, Lady Summoner!!!!
Squall (a.k.a. RETARD!!!!)
Of course it didn't read "RETARD!!!!"...I added that for the heck of it because after the break-up, I always thought he was one. "Anything important in there, Lady Summoner?" Cloud questioned me. "I didn't get the chance to read it." I handed him the note and he quickly read over it. Took a deep pause before saying, "But I thought he was going with..." "With who?!" I didn't mean for it to come out in a threatening voice, it just did. "Tell me NOW!!" "Uh," he said in a timidly, I think he was afraid that I was going to slap him or something. "I can't say. I really don't know. I think Tidus is waiting in the hall for you. Bye!!" "COME BACK HERE!!!!" I echoed through the halls. "Cloud, wait!!" But he was long gone and the Golden Angel gracefully walked in. I suddenly lost my voice. "Did I interrupt something?" he asked. "Should I go get him?" "No," I answered quickly. I think it was best that Tidus didn't know that I still had some feelings for Squall. Would he get mad..? "It was nothing. When is Shante's birthday party?" "In two hours about, I guess. She's been in her bathroom all morning getting ready. Says she needs your help on deciding what to wear but I told her you were ill." Ill? That was one word that definitely wasn't in Squall's vocabulary. Sick or diseased maybe, but never ill. "Are you feeling better now?" "I'll be fine," I told him shaking the Squall thought out of my head. Evil bastard. "I better hurry and get ready. Don't have much time." "Yes," he said watching me get up. My legs were still weak but I was able to walk. No dancing for me tonight (dang-it! everyone would miss my dance of the Sending! what I famous for!). "Need help getting out?" "No." I said rudely. I guess I was just a little irritable. Sorry, Angel. I staggered down the hall, hitting the wall a couple times but he didn't come to help me. He understood that I needed my space. I almost fell flat on my face when I tried to open my door. Thank God I didn't because he followed me to my room. "See you, Yunalesca," he helped close my door. "See you tonight, my princess."
