Broken Tear

Chapter 3:Chocobo Racing and Moonflow Stars

BEVELLE-YUNA'S HOUSE

Yuna could have fainted.She was surprised she didn't.

'Why did he have to come back..just when I got the courage to move on..'She was so lost in her thought she failed to notice the lone tear that traveled down her face.

"Tidus..good to see you man."Wakka greeted.Wakka was exstatic to see his best friend.

"We thought you were dead."Lulu said,hugging him.

"Well..technically I was.."Tidus explained,nervously rubbing the back of his head.

He noticed the brown haired little one on the floor,she had large brown eyes and they stared at him with a curious expression.

"Hi,Im Yoko..peas ta meed ya."She said, [Yes,I know that has misspelled words in it,I did it on purpose..she's a little kid.]

Tidus smiled,"Hi Yoko,I'm Tidus."She beamed at him.

His eye's traveled up and locked with Yuna's.

"P-please..don't."She said as he took a step forward.

He stopped and hung his head.

"I-I know...about your marriage..Rikku told me when she found out.."He noticed her puzzled face.

"How long have you been back?"She asked.

"Yesterday..Rikku told me through the Farplane."He explained and she slightly nodded.

"I-I'm sorry for not visiting you more..I just....couldn't."She said,her voice was soft and quiet.

"It's ok,I understand..Rikku visited me everyday...she kept me updated on everyone."He said..everyone looked at Rikku and she smiled weakly..

"Well,If you guy's didn't want me to keep him updated just because he was dead you could'a told me."She said jokingly.

Yuna took a deep breath,she had almost forgotten Aizakku was still here.

She cleared her thought softly,"U-um..Tidus..This is my Husband..Aizakku."She paused,"Aizakku..this is Tidus...he died on the pilgrimage..."

They shook hand's breifly.Tidus was slightly hurt that she didn't say anything about the relationship between the two of them to her husband..she didn't even say he was a friend on her's..but he knew she didn't do it on purpose.

"Well,I'm gonna go home..you can stay here Tidus..if you want.The hover bike is still there and all..."Rikku spoke up,It hurt her to see the hurt in Tidus's eye's when he shook Aizakku's hand.

"No,Rikku..I think I would like to go home to.."He said softly.."I'm sorry I got you all dragged down here..I just wanted to see you all."He said and began to head to the door.

"Wait,I-I mean do you have to go..we could catch up and stuff.."Yuna pleaded..

'Why did you have to come back..expecually now that I'm married! Now that I can have you..I really can't...why?'she asked him silently in her head.

"No,we can catch up later.."He said and Rikku followed him out the door.

(+|-|+)

Once everyone had gone home Yuna went up into her room and cried..

'I want you back...I need you..but I can't have you..'She said and soon,she cried herself to sleep.

HOME-RIKKU'S HOUSE

Rikku and Tidus wearily walked into the house.

"Do you want to do anything?"She asked him and he looked up at her in question.

She nervously put her hand behind her head,much in the fashion he did.

"I mean,We could go for a ride on the hover bike's..go see the different town's,go Chocobo riding..do anything but sit here."She asked,pleadingly.

He nodded,"I would like to get out."He agreed.

She sighed in relief.

"I want to see someone first."He told her and she nodded.

So they went out and she followed him on her hover bike.

FARPLANE

Tidus walked into the Farplane without a second thought.

He found a place and thought of Auron.

Like he expected there was his mentor,in front of him.

"Look Auron..I know you can hear me..I'm alive..go figure."He said to the form.

"A lot has been going on,Yuna getting married,me falling in love with Rikku..yeah..Rikku..she's grown up a lot."He said,Auron didn't respond.

"Spira has changed..you would like it...I-I guess."

"Look,I don't know how I got to be alive again..really..I could care less..but I still don't know what to do..I would ask for your help if I knew you could give it."

Tidus sighed

"Well,I gotta go,I promised Rikku we would go Chocobo riding and see the moonflow at night..heh..remember when you yelled at me when I asked if we could stay 'till nightfall to see the moonflow at night...well,I'm going to see them..just not with the person I suspected back then..but I love Rikku..I really do...I never felt this full and complete with Yuna..If that makes and sense..well see ya Auron.."And with that he left the farplane.

(+|-|+)

Rikku decided not to go in with him,he would want his privacy..she didn't even know who he wanted to see.

When he came back out she smiled at him and hugged him.

"I love you Rikku."He said into her hair.

"I love you to Tidus..now let's go,I can't wait to whoop your butt at Chocobo Racing."She said with a grin.

Her grin was somthing he could never get tired of.

"Well see who's butt get's whooped,remember,I was the one who trained that Wild Chocobo to do tricks."He said and she rolled her eyes.

"I could have done that if I wanted to."She said and they got on their bikes and raced off to the Calm Lands.

CALM LANDS

They parked their bikes at the center market place and met up with the Chocobo rentals.

"Hello."They middle aged women said sweetly.She was warring a green dress and was no taller then Rikku.

Her hair was red with a tint of brown that hid under an oddly shaped long white hat.

"Why..your Gurdian Tidus."She said,gasping.

"Er..yeah."He said,not sure how she knew him.

"We thought you were dead."

"Well..its a long story but I'm alive."He said and she nodded.

"Ah,Senator Rikku..good to see you."She said with a smile,Rikku nodded.

"We would like to get some Chocobo's to race."Rikku said and the women nodded and disappeared into the Chocobo pen.

She returned shortly with two large saddled Chocobo's.

Tidus' Chocobo had deep grey eye's and a black mark down the side's of it's face that ran down to it's mid-belly.

Rikku's was about a half-inch shorter then Tidus' Chocobo and peircing green eyes,much like her own.It had the same mark as Tidus' bird only the mark's were red instead of black.

"Um m'am,why are there different colored mark's on them?"Rikku asked from atop her Chocobo,Thunder..how appropriate.

"Well,the mark's them selves are a sort of brand,so that people know they belong to us and the different color's means the gender,Your's Senator Rikku is a girl,hence the red mark and your's Sir Tidus is a male,hence the black mark."She explained softly.

"Oh."Rikku said,patting the side of Thunder's back.

Tidus' Chocobo was named Demon..which..in truth..scared him a bit.

"Here we go."Rikku called from the Start line.

The light on the side turned from Red to Yellow and Rikku slightly put pressure on Thunder's back.

"Your going down."Tidus said,not taking his eye's off of the road in front of him.

Then the Light turned green and it gave a small ring and they took off in a cloud of dust.

They raced down the road.Rikku's long red scarf was bellowing behind her and her braids were wisps at her face like a wip.In truth it slightly hurt,but she can take it.

Her head was down,close to Thunder's neck.

Tidus was having the time of his life.He would glance over at Rikku now and then,admired how she looked so professional on Thunder.

They swerved around the corner of the cliff and Demon nipped at Thunder,who in turn squawked loudly at him.

"Hey no fair,call your bird off."Rikku said playfully.

"No way."Tidus shouted back.

"Didn't know you had to resort to cheating Tidus."She yelled back with a smile.

"I'm not cheating..the bird is..there's a difference."He called and she just rolled her eye's and pushed in front of him.

The Finish line was coming closer.She tightened her grip with her feet and Thunder pulled out a last bit of speed but was caught off gaurd when Demon started bucking Tidus.

She stopped and turned Thunder to face him.

"Tidus!"She called and ran over to Demon,struggling to catch his reign.

Once she caught it between her fingers she pulled and the bird stopped.

Tidus looked out of breath.

"Uh..thanks."He said but she was already ahead of him and across the finish line.

"Ha,I win."She said with a triumphant smile.

MOONFLOW

After Rikku's victory at the race they rode down to the Moonflow to see it at night.Dusk was coming fast and they wanted to watch the river transform from day to night.

They lied a blanket down at the edge of the river,the sun setting on the horizon.

Like magic the prieflies gather'd around the surface and they danced to an unheard music.

"Oo..pretty."Rikku said as she watched them dance,they twinkled like stars.

"Yeah,It is.."He said,he himself watching them.

"So,how was your first day back?"She asked him.

"Nearly perfect."He replied.

"Nearly perfect?"Her eyebrow cocked.

He lowered his mouth to her's and kissed it gently.

"Now it's perfect."He smiled and she smiled back and they watched the light's on the Moonflow.

They were so wrapped up in the light's they didn't see the silver haired figure watching them from the brush.
