"Tidus, s-stop that!" Yuna cried between giggles. Tidus just continued. "I told you I'd let you have it for pinching me!" Yuna laughed louder as he tickled her faster, but finally she got her feet up and poked him in the stomach till he rolled away. They both sat on the floor, looking at each other stupidly for a while, and finally started laughing again. "Well I guess we should go get dressed hey?" Yuna said. Tidus stood up and nodded. "Yeah might as well." They started walking around the corner when suddenly there was a red glow behind them. Tidus turned around quickly and looked at a red portal form behind them. His eyes went wide and he quickly pushed Yuna around the corner so she wouldn't get harmed by whatever was in there. He stood his ground and waited for a minute and when nothing happened he started towards it. "Tidus! Don't go near it! We don't know what's in there!" Yuna protested. Tidus stopped. "Ok fine, go get me my sword then." Yuna opened her mouth to protest. "Just do it, ok?" He cut her off. She closed her mouth and ran off to their room to grab his sword. She slid the sword across the floor towards him and hid behind the corner, peeking around to see what was going on. Tidus walked slowly towards the portal, and cautiously touched it with his fingertips. He noticed nothing happened, so he put his arm through....and saw it come out the other side. He frowned and looked at his arm, seeing that nothing happened to it. He shrugged and turned to Yuna. "That's weird. Maybe it's just one of those funny weather systems or something..." His voice trailed off when he heard screams coming from inside the portal. He turned around and looked. "What the he--" He started but didn't finish as Squall came flying through and crashed into him. Squall quickly sprang up, gunblade in hand, when he saw Tidus. "Tidus! What are you doing here?" He asked, then he noticed that Tidus was naked. "And...why are you naked?" He asked, stating the obvious. Tidus put his sword in front of him to cover him, as his face turned bright red. "Well, this is where I'm spending my honeymoon with my wife, cuz I just got married." He explained. Squall's eyes widened. "You serious? Holy crap I never thought I'd see that happen, since you were always such a whiny brat." He joked. Tidus looked shocked for a second. "I dunno about you, but i coulda swore I just heard you make a joke! What's up with you?" He asked. Squall shrugged. "Long story. Funny how things change eh?" Tidus nodded. You're not kidding." He looked behind him, trying to see if the portal was still there. "How did you get here? Were you by yourself?" He asked. Squall turned and looked behind him, trying to see if his friends were coming through, but saw nothing so he turned around again. "Well, my friends and I were at this..." He paused for a minute, "...Bar and we were just going home when this portal opened up in front of us, and here I am." He explained. Tidus nodded. "Well, I guess I'll go get dressed, then we'll see what's going on." Tidus walked around the corner and called out: "It's ok Yuna, it's just my cousin Squall, you can come out from around that corner!" He continued walking away after that. Yuna peeked around the corner and saw this strange man in a leather jacket and a huge scar on his nose. "Hi." He said as he waved. Yuna's jaw dropped as she saw him extend his hand out to her. "I'm Squall."

"Wow Tidus, your cousin sure is a gentleman, he even turned around and didn't look at me walking back to the room." She said. Tidus just nodded. "Yeah, well I guess that's what going to a military school does for ya." He explained. She pinched him on the side as he walked by. "Why couldn't you be such a gentleman like that?" She joked. Tidus grimaced as he grabbed his sore side and faked pain. "Because you keep pinching me!" He shot back. She shrugged slightly at that. "Yeah, I guess you have a point....but that doesn't mean I'm going to quit." She laughed.

After getting dressed and getting Squall to explain everything he knew up to this point, Tidus sat up and stretched. "Well, I think it would be a good idea to look for your friends first of all, to make sure they're all here and stuff like that." He said. Squall looked at him. "Sounds good, but let me see that sword you got there. It looks really neat." He said. Tidus walked over and grabbed his sword off the floor in his bedroom, which was on the floor beside Yuna's guns. He brought it back to Squall and let him look at it. "Wow, this is some kinda weird material isn't it?" He asked as he looked at the Brotherhood. Tidus shrugged. "Dunno, but it's a good sword. My friend Wakka gave it it me shortly after I got here." He said. "It used to be his brother's....before he died." He said softly. Squall nodded. "Well I guess the circumstances weren't too great, but it's still a great sword." He said. Tidus looked at the gunblade strapped to Squall's back. "Hey can I look at yours now? It doesn't look like the same gunblade I saw that you had last time." He said. Squall rolled his eyes. "You do realize that I last saw you when we were both like 8 years old?" He said sarcastically. Yuna giggled as Tidus scratched his head. "Oh yeah....can I still look at it?" He asked again. Squall shook his head and handed it over to him. Tidus looked intently at the sword. "Wow, this one's cool!" He just then noticed the inscription on the side. "What's this funny language on the side?" He asked. Squall smiled. "It's Latin, and it says Lionheart." He explained. Tidus pointed the gunblade at a tree and started prancing around. "Oh yeah, you wanna piece of this? Huh? I'm gonna cut you up real good. Yeah, that's right." He said mockingly to the tree. Just then he accidently pulled the trigger on the gunblade and got blown backwards onto his back. He sat up quickly and looked in shock at what he did. Squall and Yuna were both laughing hysterically at Tidus' antics. He looked at the gunblade, and then at the tree, noticing the huge gaping hole in the tree. "Wow....you really have gotten a better one didn't you?" He stated. Squall nodded and took his sword back. "Well, that's enough fun and games for now, I really have to find my friends." He said. Tidus motioned with his hand. "Right! Let's go!" He yelled as he started to walk off with Squall. Yuna ran into the house and grabbed her guns. "Wait for me! Hey! You can't leave without me! Tidus I'm seriously gonna pinch you this time!" She yelled as she ran after them.
Author's Note: Well there's chapter 2, hope you enjoyed it, it's been a little while coming, but oh well. So i guess that's it for me for now so see ya later!
