Drifting apart
-
(Rikku's POV)
I glance down at the unconscious guard, making sure he won't be waking up any time soon. I begin to hear loud footsteps and glance to my right. I see the Yuna imposter running blindly away, crashing into things in her hurry to get out.
"Hey! Where are you going!"? I yell out to Leblanc.
I get the standard Leblanc line for a reply, "Why don't you try and catch me loves?"
I look at Paine and she nods to me, confirming my thoughts, 'Lets get her!'
Paine begins the pursuit; to be followed closely behind by me until a voice I recognize all too well takes me away from the chase.

(Yuna's POV)

I'm beginning to worry. What's taking them so long? Should I go in there and look for them? I am dragged out of my thoughts as I hear a shout from around the crate in which is my hiding spot.
"Ooooh! You'll pay for that!" I hear Paine's distinguishable voice over the rumble of a near by ship.
I peer around the corner to see Ormi and Logos appear beside Paine.
'Okay, I think its time for me to make my grand entrance'
I change out of the "prized garment" and run out from behind the crate leaving the flower petals behind me. (Authors note- Whenever Yuna changed into or out of her dress spheres, a ringlet of flower petals appears above her then falls to the ground)
I run towards Ormi, and notice him turning towards me from the sounds of my heavy footfalls.
Gaining momentum, I jump as high as I can, and land on top of his head shield, then pushed myself up, jumping higher. I fire my gun at Leblanc, Logos and Ormi's feet making sure to barely miss them each time...you know, to give em' a little scare.
I land gracefully to the ground after making my entrance, and begin to walk slowly towards Paine, all the while keeping my eyes on the thief.
"Where's Rikku Paine? I ask.
"She probably got lost, she was behind me in the beginning though."
"I'm right here, and you'll never believe who I ran into!" Rikku said while running from around a corner.

(Rikku's POV)
"Is it really you?" I quietly ask.
I stare intently at the man with the blonde hair, broad shoulders, and the distinctive yellow and white zipper t-shirt, and blue shorts which contained the Jecht sign.
"It's me, Tidus." Tidus quietly called out to me.
I run to Tidus and throw my arms around him in a friendly hug.
"Where have you been? How've you been? What have you been doing?" I began to throw questions out; after all, I had so many.
"Whoa, easy, I'll answer all of your questions in a bit! But first answer me this, "Where did Yuna go? I saw her on stage a moment ago..." I listened to Tidus as he trailed off.
"That wasn't the real Yuna, it was an imposter. But that's not the point come on! Yuna is just dying of heartache because of you!" I state while prodding his chest with my index finger, feeling his chiseled muscles through his shirt.
"Wait here! I'll be back!" I begin to run, and faintly hear Tidus call out behind me, but I don't care, my main concern is getting Yuna and Tidus back together again! Like it's supposed to be!
************* (Yuna's POV)
-
I look at Rikku with a quizzical look upon my face. "Whom did you run into?" I ask. Rikku began scuffing her feet on the pavement. I continued to look at her my thoughts clearly on my face. 'Who did she run into? Did she get herself into trouble? Why won't she just tell me!'
"Earth to Yunie!" I hear Rikku call out waving her hand in front of my face. I shake my head to bring my thoughts back into view, and then turn my body to Rikku.
"Ok, since your not going to guess I'm just going to show you!" Rikku grabbed me by the hand and pulled me away from Paine.
"Rikku! Where are you going! We need to take care of the trash!" Paine inquired, sarcasm oozing from her words. I look back to the thief and then to Rikku.
"Just give us back the dress sphere! We have some important duties to attend to here!" Rikku charged at the trio, and Paine and I followed suit.
I immediately went to battle stance, pulling my guns from their pouch. I began to fire using my favorite attack of all time; Trigger Happy.
A couple more slice and dices from Rikku and Paine and our enemies were begging for mercy.
"Just take the dress sphere! But don't think of this as the end!" I watched as Ormi, Logos and Leblanc disappeared before my eyes, leaving the smell of cheap perfume, and a ghastly purple cloud lingering in the air.
I looked to the ground, and deposited the songstress dress sphere into my pouch.
"Okay, we're done now lets move!" Rikku exclaimed, giddiness evident in her voice.
My arm was all but pulled out of its socket as Rikku led Paine and I back into the building where the concert was held.
"Rikku, what is this all about?" Paine asked while glancing around making sure there were no guards ready to spring on them.
"Yuna, I have someone I want you to see!" I watch as Rikku runs behind the stage, and then re-emerges with a man behind her. A man with tussled blond hair, a white and yellow zipper coat, and the distinctive Jecht sign shorts. "Rikku! What are you trying to do! Bringing some man here that looks just like...him." I couldn't bring myself to say his name. I have suffered so much, just thinking of the name.
"No, Yuna! It is him! Not some--" I cut Rikku off, as I had heard enough. I begin to turn away, when tan, strong arms wrap themselves around my torso.
"Yuna, it's me Tidus...I have missed you so..." I look down at his arms, and then turn myself around, so I am facing him.
I let my eyes roam all over his body, trying to take it all in.
"I'm sorry I had to leave you." Tidus said.
I looked up to Tidus, and realized for the first time, this is the man I have been wishing to see again. The man I want to spend my life with.
"Tidus! It's really you..." I trail off lamely, wanting to savor the moment. I look up into his gorgeous crystal blue eyes, and see nothing but love and devotion. The events of the day start to add up on me, and I lean forward, pressing my head against his chest.

(Tidus' POV)

I glance down at the beautiful woman in my arms and realize I am the luckiest man alive. I drop my chin down to the top of her head and discreetly smell her hair. Roses. I allow her scent to calm me, to comfort me. I look at Rikku, and a girl that is standing next to her.
"Rikku, I think Yuna need's some rest, let's go to a hotel, and then you can introduce me to your friend."
"Right-o!" Rikku replied, and then began to walk in the direction of the nearest hotel.
Within minutes, we are standing outside the hotel, and then walking through the door.
"2 rooms please." I heard Rikku ask the hotelkeeper. "Sure thing"
"Rikku, why 2?" Paine asked, arching an eyebrow.
I watched as Rikku quietly walked over to the girl and whisper in her ear.
-
(Rikku's POV)
I look at Paine and come to a conclusion. DENSE! I walked over to Paine and, to prevent being heard, whisper in her ear the explanation of two rooms.
"Because! Me and you can share a room, surely you think Yunie and Tidus will want to be alone tonight?"
I pull away and steal a glance at Tidus, making sure he didn't hear me. When he arched an eyebrow, I knew he hadn't heard, and then wiggled my eyebrows at him. I grabbed Paine by the wrist and dragged her to the room, leaving Tidus and Yunie alone.

I watch Rikku drag the girl from the room, then glance at Yuna. She was sitting in a chair, her eyes drooping. I silently cross the room towards her, and gather her in my arms carrying her bridal style to our room.
Once in the room, I lay her in the bed, under the covers, and silently crawl in with her, wrapping my arms around her to insure that this is real, and not a dream.
