"Uh, Yuna just out of curiosity, did I hit my head on a rock or something when I fell down?" Tidus asked nervously. Yuna shook her head. "No, what you see is the real thing." She said gesturing to the figure. It walked over to the bed. "Hey man, my name's Sudit. Nice to meet you." He stuck his hand out for Tidus to shake. Tidus turned pale. "But y-y-you're me!" He said. Sudit rolled his eyes. He looked exactly like Tidus except he had brown eyes, short blonde hair, and was wearing an Al Bhed Psyches blitzball uniform. "That's because I am you, sorta." He responded. Tidus waved his hands in the air. "Ok, this is way too much for me to handle right now. I gotta go for a walk." He ran out the door and started running towards Wakka's house. He reached the door and started pounding on it as hard as he could. Finally Wakka answered the door and Tidus rushed inside. "Wakka something really weird is going on, there's this guy named Sudit at Yuna's house, he looks pretty much exactly like me and he sounds like me and everything!" Wakka didn't respond. He hung his head and wrapped Tidus in a big hug and started crying. "I'm sorry man, I overreacted, I had no idea what was going on!" Tidus pushed him away. "What is with everybody? Somebody's gotta explain what's going on." He said, exasperated. "Where's Lulu? She always knows how to explain stuff." Wakka wiped his eyes and pointed to the bedroom. "Oh yeah, and Wakka?" He turned to face him. "I forgive you man……..not that I blame you for getting mad."

"Alright, since we're all here I think it's time I told you my theory as to why you fell in love with Rikku and this whole incident started." Lulu said at their kitchen table, where Rikku, Yuna, Wakka, Sudit, Tidus, and herself were seated. "Tell me Tidus, how do you feel right now? Who do you love more than anything in the world?" She asked. Tidus answered quickly. "Yuna of course." Lulu nodded and turned to Sudit. "Now Sudit, what about you?" Sudit also answered quickly. "Rikku." Rikku smiled uneasily. "Ok, now that we've determined that, I can start to explain what I think happened. When Tidus was sent to the Farplane, he was so distraught over his loss of all of us that he began to become depressed. When he became depressed, his emotions and feelings and everything became all jumbled up. When the fayth sent him back, it seems that these mixed up feelings were amplified, and caused his soul to begin splitting. Tell me Tidus, how did the fayth tell you they'd let you live?" She asked. Tidus thought for a minute, remember what Bahamut had told him. "Bahamut told me that he'd stay awake until I died naturally so that I could live my life." Lulu nodded at this too. "Alright, so after he came back from the Farplane, his soul was fine, because he had chosen one side of himself to stick with. However at the mere mention of Yuna's name, this would cause some kind of pain right?" She turned to Tidus, who just nodded. She continued with her story. "That was the feeling of your soul splitting. Any time you thought of or even heard a mention of Yuna, it caused your soul to tear a little more. When you saw both Rikku and Yuna at the same time, it was too much and caused your soul to finally rip into 2 separate halves." She stopped to let that all sink into everyone's minds. Tidus finally spoke up. "So if one fayth is staying awake for me, then how is he alive?" He asked pointing to Sudit, who made a face at him. "I have a name you know!" Tidus rolled his eyes. "Alright fine, Sudit." He sarcastically emphasized the word. "Shut up you guys I wanna hear the rest." Rikku cut them off. Yuna put her hand around Tidus'. He looked at her and she just smiled. She knew that this was pretty hard for him. "I'm thinking that there's another fayth that awoke to take care of Sudit, because otherwise it's quite possible that you would've just disappeared, not even in the Farplane or in Zanarkand, but just vanish completely." She said grimly. Tidus sat with his mouth gaping open and shaking his head. "Wow……." He couldn't even finish the sentence. Yuna turned to him again. "What we've decided to do is you'll stay here with me and Sudit is going home with Rikku." She explained. Tidus nodded. "Sounds good." Sudit chuckled a little. "You bet!" Everyone smiled at the two, because they were so alike it was weird. "I think it'll just be easier to say that he's my brother, what do you guys think?" Everyone nodded in agreement. Tidus got up. "So it's settled……..bro." He smiled as he shook his 'brother's' hand.

Rikku and Sudit walked over to the airship and were preparing to board it for Home, but Tidus ran out from Wakka and Lulu's house. "Rikku wait!" He ran towards her hands waving. She stopped and turned to him. "Hey Tidus. I'm gonna miss you." She said to him. Tidus scratched the back of his head. "Rikku………I'm sorry that all of this had to happen to us. I really appreciate the time we spent together but I wish things would've worked out better. And I was hoping we could still be friends." He asked. Rikku looked up at him, into his deep aqua eyes and her heart felt much lighter. "Sure thing." She said as she wrapped him in a hug and kissed him on the cheek. Tidus hugged her tight and felt as if he couldn't let her go. Although this had been a dark time for both of them, and when his soul split he lost his sexual feelings for Rikku, it caused them to develop a stronger bond and a deeper understanding of each other, which was how they looked at the whole thing. Tidus finally let her go and she started walking towards the ship. "Oh and one more thing! If Sudit plays for the Psyches tell him that we're gonna take the cup this year so he better not get in our way!" He said with a smile. Rikku laughed. "Alright I'll tell him, but I'm thinking you and Wakka are gonna meet your match this time!" She finally waved one last time and ran inside. Tidus watched as the airship lifted off and disappeared into the horizon. He stood there for a few more minutes, lost in his own thoughts when he heard Yuna behind him. "Hey Tidus." She said. Tidus turned and smiled. "Hi Yuna." She hugged him and buried her face in his shoulder. Tidus continued to smile. "You know, I never thought you'd get a new outfit too." He said. She looked at him oddly. "What, is there something wrong with it?" Tidus waved his hands in protest. "Are you kidding? It's great!" He said. He turned serious. "You've really changed, Yuna. You've come out of your shell, this is the real you that I always meant to bring out." He said. She nodded. "All I can say is thank you." She kissed him then and he returned it. "Hey lovebirds! You coming for supper?" Wakka called from behind them. They both broke away from each other and looked at him. "Yeah." They both said simultaneously. Wakka just laughed and walked away. They looked at each other one more time. It seemed as if everything was going right for once, as they walked off hand in hand.
