Farplane
/\/\/02\/\/\
Tears rolled off her face dripping into the water beneath her feet making a gentle pitter-patter. She drug her staff alongside her making small ripples in the water that glowed from the tangerine sunrise. Yuna remembered during the pilgrimage one morning Rikku had mentioned how much she enjoyed the sunrise, "It gives me the feeling anything is possible" she had said, eyes fixated on the sky.
She began to spin in a circle her staff following fluidly. She began to dance faster, more graceful than before, the gentle waves began to splash up against her feet and she began to rise with the water. Droplets continued to fall from her mismatched orbs and she shut them tightly to try and repress the tears that streaked her cheeks. She failed miserably as she danced on before
A smile crept over her lips; it was nice to see her dance once more, to dance for her. She grew increasingly translucent as Yuna danced on. Tears escaped her unique eyes and pooled at her chin before falling only to disappear before hitting the floor. She turned to face her brother who she could tell was choking back tears, his gaze fixated on the cold floor of the ship. She could no longer feel the air in her hair, or the salt sting her eyes and stain her lips. She glanced over at her cousin once more before she completely faded into nothing more than a pyrefly. "Thank you," she whispered softly her voice carried away by the wind.
Through blurred eyes Yuna could make out a brightly colored pyrefly fly around her before heading for the sky. Stopping, she smiled and let her staff hang loosely by her side to watch it depart.

Tidus' eyes slowly opened with a disappointed groan. He rubbed the back of his head as he sat up, eyes squinting from the bombardment of light. 'Just a dream.'
The water that serenely flowed through it entirety, the soft blades of grass a permanent vibrant green, they pyreflys that circled in the air. Perfect. Everything was perfect. His perpetual bliss, spent in misery.
"Not much longer now…" he spoke to himself barely above a whisper.

"I love you" Yuna softly whispered, with all the courage she could muster, unaware that her words pierced through her vibrant cousins heart like a thousand needles.
Behind her swirled green eyes Rikku's mind was running a mile a minute. 'Where is this coming from…have they had a secret relationship all along and I've just been too dense to notice it? I mean, I know he cared about her as her guardian but…but…' She wanted to scream, yell at herself for being so stupid 'who would want the love of an outcast when they could have the love of a summoner?' She just smiled, hid her sorrow and despair behind her perfect façade of happiness.
Her eyes closed as she stood in anticipation, waiting. Waiting for him to return the sentiment, for him to gush, "I love you too." She waited for the words…but they never came. Her eyes fluttered open once again filled with confusion, she heard nothing.
'Could it be? Did he really not return her feelings?' her eyes glimmered a moment before she scolded herself 'no, I shouldn't think things like that. Yuna's my cousin, I want her to be happy I really do, but…'
As she observed Tidus' body slowly decay into pyreflies a morbid thought entered her head, 'do dreams go to the farplane? Or just disappear into nothingness…' She held back a gasp, this was really it, quite possibly the last time she would ever see him…'no…I refuse…I refuse to let him go…' she bit her lip habitually as she scoured her brain, 'there has to be a way…'
"We're gonna see you again...?" She yelled after him, pretense in tact, knowing her question would remain unanswered. He leapt from the airship and she forced back her tears squeezing her eyes tightly, 'I've always loved you'

Returned from her memories she felt as thought she was floating, being carried by some unseen force but as she opened her eyes she was planted firmly on the ground. Surrounded in a dark mist she stepped blindly, opening her mouth to call out, but who was there to call out to?
As suddenly as she had awoke the blackness became a gray, and the gray a white until she was surrounded by light. And out of the light she could feel the world around her changing, the nothingness beneath her feet turned to grass, and the light that engulfed her to a vast, lush canyon; and she knew exactly where she was, and when she laid eyes on a familiar blonde she knew why that one scene played over in her mind.
