No Longer a Dream
Ch. 2
The inspiration for me to write this fan fiction came from the cinematic scene at the very end of the credits of Final Fantasy X. Do you know what scene I'm talking about? If you don't keep reading! Bwahhaahahaha!!!! ^~ As always, I don't own FF X and this is a yaoi story.

------------------------------------
Total darkness and silence. Nothing could be seen, nothing could be heard in this empty void; it was like being in outer space. The only thing that was apparent in this place was a male teenager. He seemed to be asleep and gently floated aimlessly without a care in the world. Until…
"Tidus…Tidus…," said a child in a low audible tone.
The young man slowly opened his eyes, he felt like he was waking up for the very first time. With his piercing blue eyes, he took a good look at his surroundings and saw that there wasn't much to see. This place reminded him of being in a Blitzball dome, except he wasn't suspended in water. A shiver ran down his spine as the blond realized something-- he was alive. [ This isn't possible…is it? I'm not supposed to exist anymore…]
"Don't worry Tidus… I brought you back."
He did a 180 and faced the little boy that was the fayth of Bahamut. After recognizing the child hidden under a purple hood, Tidus instantly began asking questions at a mile a minute.
"Uhh…where are we? Why am I here? Am I really alive? Did Sin come back? Where's Yuna and the others?" He stopped to hear what the kid had to say.
"You truly destroyed Sin with Yuna and the rest of your companions. Right now you're in what's left of our dream."
*A moment passed*
"Not much left, huh?"
"Yes, well nothing can last forever. Before we completely vanish we wanted to show our gratitude for putting us to rest. As appreciation, the fayth grant two fallen guardians a second chance at life…live it well."
With those final words he faded into darkness.
"Wait a minute…who else are you talking about?"
Tidus wasn't given an answer. Slowly, the darkness started to engulf the blitzer at an alarming rate. He was about to panic as he hopelessly looked around when he was completely overwhelmed by the shadows. He felt tired all of a sudden and shut his eyes.
"Now wake up."
The man awoke at the bottom of the ocean. A small school of tiny silver fish went by behind him. He was in a sitting position, with his arms wrapped around his legs and his head to his knees.
He stretched, feeling rejuvenated from his slumber. The blond was on cloud nine, completely in disbelief about his position. [What just happened?] With a huge grin on his face, he made a break for the ocean surface. He swam higher and higher, closer and closer to freedom…
*splash*
The young man broke the calm surface, took a deep breath of air, and shouted, "I'M ALIVE!!!!;" his words breaking the silence that was the night. Tidus swam about, trying to identify his location. Luckily, he saw an island not to far away and headed for it; guided by the soft moon light. The blond immediately recognized it as Besaid Island.
He quickly swam toward it as fast as his legs allowed him. He just had to see his friends again.
[You want to see him most of all]
"Wakka…" Tidus said to himself as he raced to the island; using all the extra strength and endurance he could muster.
[What if he doesn't feel the same way as you do?]
[I HAVE TO SEE HIM AGAIN!!!] Neglecting the pain in his arms and legs, he continued to push water aside and seemed to gain speed with each Mermaid Kick.**
Tidus finally reached the sandy shores of the beach and continued running like a tri-athlete along the dirt path that led to the village. He didn't even bother resting or shaking off the water from the strenuous swim. The bitter coldness was biting his skin as he ran and his legs felt like they were made out of cement, but he urged his body to go on.
[I need to see you again….Wakka…Tell me I'm real!!!]
The teen stopped at the entrance of the village to catch his breath. He bent over and put his hands on his knees while he took in gulps of air. His chest heaved in and out rapidly with each mouthful.
"Huhhh…huhhh…I…made…it…"
Before Tidus had any time to react, his whole body completely went into a system shutdown. He collapsed onto his knees and hit the ground hard.
[Damn it…I was so close…so close…to seeing you…]
The young man's blue eyes rolled to the back of his head as he fell forward to the ground from sheer exhaustion. The various noises of insects were the only thing that could be heard surrounding Besaid Village. The young man just laid there, unconscious, his existence unknown by anyone in the village.

End Ch. 2
In the FF X game, the fayth vanished when Yuna and company defeated Sin so I thought it would only make sense for this story to take place shortly afterward.^~
* *Mermaid Kick was a special ability in Kingdom Hearts.
More to come soon! Please read and review, I want to hear what you think!
