A Strong Tie of Love --- A FFX fic
Blue: Wow!
Cleva: What is it? The people at Squaresoft gave you the rights to FFX?
Blue: I wish. *Pouts*
Bob: *Pats Blue* It's okay Blue. Don't be sad.
Blue: I need a hug.
Bob: *Hugs Blue* Feel better?
Blue: *Sniffs* Yeah. I guess.
Bob: *Smiles*
Blue: *Smiles back* I wish there were more people in the world like you, Bob.
Cleva: This is just too sappy for me. I'm gonna gag!
Blue: Then gag somewhere else.
Cleva: *Whines* But I don't wanna!
Blue: But this whole fic is one big sappy story! You wouldn't like it here!
Cleva: Fine then! *Disappears*
Bob: This IS one big sappy story?
Blue: Yeah, I'm not good on summaries, so this is my new summary!
My new summary: Tidus said that after Yu Yevon was destroyed, he would disappear. What if he was wrong? What would happen if he were alive, though everyone thought he was dead? How would his sudden reappearance affect the lives of Wakka, Lulu, Rikku, Kimahri, and everyone else? What about Yuna, the girl who loved him? Will Tidus get a second chance that will be worth all he's been through?
Blue: Yes, it is very serious. I know that.
Bob: Is that bad?
Blue: Well. I don't know. I used to be so much into humor, and now I'm suddenly into serious and sappy fics. I don't know what's up with me.
Bob: I'm sure this happens to everyone, right?
Blue: I guess.
Bob: Blue?
Blue: *Blank look* Eh?
Bob: What was that 'Guess what?' at the beginning?
Blue: *Snaps awake* Oh yeah, that! *Nervous laugh* It was that someone reviewed my fic in just ONE DAY!!! OMG!!! I don't believe it!!! Thank you oh so very much, Sailor Flower!!! And then three days later, Mystic reviewed it!!! You two have given me another reason to write!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!
Bob: I guess that's a good reason to celebrate.
Blue: I think it is, but that's coming from a pathetic authoress with no life.
Bob: Oh, don't say that, Blue.
Blue: I know I shouldn't, but it's true!
Bob: No it's not. *Hugs Blue*
Blue: I guess you're right. *Quiet laugh*
Bob: What is it? Did I miss something?
Blue: No, I just realized that it's been about a page and all I've done is mindlessly jabber about random stuff.
Bob: So are you saying that you need to start your fic now?
Blue: Yeah. I'm gonna go and start writing, okay?
Bob: Okay. I'll stay here.
Blue: Kewl. Bye. *Disappears*
Bob: Bye, Blue. *Ten seconds pass* It's so lonely here.
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~
(Blue: Okay, I know I shouldn't be here, but I think you need to know that from now on it will all be focusing on one character. Who, you may ask? You'll see, it's not that hard. Also there are flashbacks, ya know? They'll be in italics okay? Good.)
He got up from the shore and started to walk inland.
"Where am I?" He asked himself. "I know I've been here before."
There were ruins of a city most ancient, with a cloud of pyreflies that turned the sky into a white-pink haze.
"This. this must be Zanarkand!"
He was right; he was in Zanarkand. Not the one he knew from his childhood, the Zanarkand in Spira where they fought Lady Yunalesca. It was also the same Zanarkand where he thought, 'Listen to my story. This may be our last chance.'
"If this is Zanarkand, then." He looked to the south, at a very tall mountain. "Then that must be Mt. Gagazet! Maybe Kimahri's there!"
He ran up the mountain, on the path that most summoner parties traveled the opposite way. He got to a small area, covered in newly fallen snow that ended in a cliff. He remembered what happened here.
"Zanarkand is on the other side, you know?" The blonde Al Bhed said.
"I know." The remembering boy replied.
"Yunie is gonna get the Final Aeon, you know?"
"I know"
"I still haven't thought of anything."
"Me neither."
"What are we gonna do?" She asked.
"We'll do something!" He stated. "We just don't know enough yet. Until we do, we really can't help Yuna. Let's go to Zanarkand. We'll find something there. It'll all come together. I know it!"
It was also there, that they fought Yuna's husband, er. her dead husband, a third time.
"I never liked that Seymour," He said to himself. "But some of the stuff he said, it did make a lot of sense to me." He left that place with those memories, just as more snow started to fall.
(Blue: Sorry for interrupting. I don't know why I'm doing this. I just am. It may have to do with the fact that I have a really itchy bug bite on the bottom of my foot, and I can't write with an annoyance like that. Well. can you? . Um. I think I'll continue now.Eh heh heh heh heh.)
He walked to a group of Ronso. One in particular was taller than he was, but short in comparison to other Ronso, such as Biran or Yenke. He was covered with blue fur, except for his hair that was in white braids.
"Kimahri!" He recognized his fellow guardian by his broken horn. "What'cha been up too?"
Kimahri looked shocked, "You're alive?"
"I guess," He answered, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Why'd ya ask?"
"Yuna thought you died. Yuna went to Besaid."
"What about the others?"
"Wakka and Lulu went with Yuna to Besaid. Rikku went on airship with Cid."
"Oh," He said disappointed. He had hoped they were all here. "Well, why are you here, instead of being with Yuna in Besaid?" He changed the subject.
"Elder Kelk asked Kimahri to help protect Ronso and Gagazet."
"Is it because Seymour.?" He stopped in mid-sentence because Kimahri nodded in response. He remembered what that evil guado said just before Yuna was about to send him.
"A sending, so soon? Allow me to say something to the last Ronso before I leave," He chuckled. "Yours was. truly a gallant race. They threw themselves at me to bar my path. One. after another." He chuckled again proud of his massacre.
"No." Kimahri said in disbelief.
"You could end the suffering of this poor Ronso." He continued
"I don't understand you!" Yuna yelled.
"Allow Kimahri to die, and release him from his pain. Spira is a land of suffering and sorrow caught in a spiral of death. To destroy - to heal - Spira. I will become Sin. Yes, with your help. Come with me, Yuna. Once I have become the next Sin, your father will be free again."
He growled and charged at Seymour, "What do you know?"
Seymour Flux. "Your hope ends here. And your meaningless existence with it!"
Kimahri looked depressed just thinking about that incident. He was about to say something to try to kelp his Ronso friend, but just then a little Ronso child ran to Kimahri.
"Kimahri, fiends attacking Biran and Yenke! They need help!"
They found the two surrounded by bashuras, at least half a dozen of them. The blond boy defeated one with the sword that Wakka gave him in Besaid, while Kimahri slashed through two of them with his spirit lance. Biran bulldozed one of them, while Yenke used his fire breath on the last two.
"Thank you, Kimahri Ronso." Biran said graciously.
"Hey, what about me? I fought them too!" He whined.
(Blue: Okay, so Tidus is out of character here. Big deal. I got stuck here and this was the only thing I could think of! If you're gonna bug me about this, go on ahead, I won't mind.
Bob: Well, at least she's honest.)
"Sorry," Biran started. "Biran forgot name."
"I'm Tidus."
"You are summoner Yuna's guardian, no." Yenke asked.
"Well, I was, that is, until we all defeated Yu Yevon."
"Yu Yevon?" Biran questioned.
"Well, Yu Yevon was, uh." He tried to explain. "I don't know haw to put it."
"I might be able to explain it." A familiar voice said from behind them.
They all turned around. It was Maechen, the scholar. He explained the events that happened about a thousand years ago, with the war between Zanarkand and Bevelle, Lady Yunalesca, Yu Yevon, the Hymn of the Fayth, the destruction of Zanarkand, and the first appearance of Sin. ". And that, as they say, is that."
"Well, not really," the boy from Zanarkand interrupted. "I know why Sin kept coming back, and the only way to truly defeat it."
Kimahri growled softly.
"Oh, sorry. All of us with Yuna's pilgrimage." He realized his mistake. "Yu Yevon merged with the Final Aeon and turned it into a new Sin."
"So, that's why Sin came back." Kelk Ronso understood.
"Yeah, the fayth told us."
There was a long pause, a silence that felt like forever.
"So, um, you know where Rikku and the airship are?" He finally broke the long quietness.
"I believe I saw it flying over the mountain, just a few days ago," Kelk answered. "So it can't be that far, right?"
"Yeah." He agreed. "Well, which way was it heading?"
"It was flying towards the towns to the south."
"Thanks! See ya later!" He started to run down the mountain.
All the Ronso waved goodbye to the boy. "Goodbye, Tidus." Kimhari softly said to the wind hoping to carry his message to the running blond.
"Now on to find Rikku," He whispered to himself, as he passed the bridge over the Scar gorge to the Calm Lands.

Blue: I just realized this.
Bob: Realized what?
Blue: That this chapter was mostly flashbacks.
Bob: but isn't that most of your story anyways?
Blue: True. *Quiet laugh*
Bob: What is it?
Blue: I bet one chapter will be one giant flashback.
Bob: I bet the readers wouldn't like that.
Blue: I know. but still, I know where to put it and everything. I pretty much have the whole fic planned out right now.
Bob: So about how many chapters left?
Blue: Depends on how I feel, how many reviews I get, how hard my schoolwork is, and some other random stuff.
Bob: Like Cleva?
Blue: Precisely.
Bob: Anything else?
Blue: Oh yeah. I'm on my school tennis team and it really cuts into my social life, if I have one.
Bob: Why are you so pessimistic today?
Blue: I'm just down that school starts soon.
Bob: Yeah, but you'll see all your friends that you've said you've missed all summer.
Blue: That's right. But still, it's school.
Bob: At least you have a reason to get away from Cleva. I have to be with her all day!
Blue: You're right. Poor Bob-chan. *Pats Bob*
Bob: At least I have a friend like you.
Blue: Awwwww. *Hugs Bob*
Cleva: This IS sickening. *Disappears*
Blue: If I haven't said this already, please review! I'd love to feel noticed, so I don't feel so pessimistic. Also, wish me luck on my test to get my learner's permit!
Cleva: Ack! She's gonna drive?
Blue: ^______^ Yep! What out world! Blue's learning to drive!
Blue: Wow!
Cleva: What is it? The people at Squaresoft gave you the rights to FFX?
Blue: I wish. *Pouts*
Bob: *Pats Blue* It's okay Blue. Don't be sad.
