Far off in the hometown of Kairi, Sora, and Riku three other children were on their way to their own adventure. No, it is not right to call them children, not anymore. They have grown up since they last met their old friends, which have seemed to disappear off the face of the map. That has not brought down their hopes, though. They seem to be positive they will find their old friends.

Destiny Islands was what you would call a large place. But the three friends did not want to miss a thing; therefore they checked every nook and cranny.

"This is hopeless!" Said a young man with a stocky form. He seemed depressed at their repetitive failure. He walked over to a young, full-breasted, woman who bore a blue and white skirt that seemed to show more than it covered.

"Oh… Tidus. Always quick to give up aren't we." She said to him as she reached for his blue vest and closed it upon his white shirt, which rested under it. He didn't stop the motion he embraced it. After a while of silence he brought about his arm, his white sleeve, which had holes in it, rippled in the faint wind, and brushed a lock of hair from her eyes. He quickly withdrew his action, for fear of invasion of privacy.

"Yuna, how can you stay so positive all the time?" He asked her afterwards. She, at first, did nothing but smile, her eyes closing with the crease of her smile. Her beauty radiated off of her bringing a warm sensation to the being that was Tidus.

"Easy." She stated looking off at the horizon.


"I just don't think of not finding them. I think of the time when we will meet" She looked into his eyes and smiled. All he could do was do the same.

After a while he beckoned her to follow him to a quaint spot overlooking the sea, she gleefully followed. It did not take them long to reach their destination. Once by the sea the temperature suddenly dropped. Yuna's shirt, which went from white to pink gradually and the sleeves, at the end, dropped away, allowed her some protection to the weather. However her dark shorts did not prove to be a wise choice for clothing. Tidus on the other hand bore the correct clothes. His blue pants, which enveloped the whole of his shoes blocked out the entire chill.

They moved over to a railing, they both folding their arms upon the metal. She began rubbing her arms for warmth. Even with his one arm exposed to the cold, for the sleeve ended abruptly unlike the other he was still quite warm. He offered her his blue, white outlined vest, and she accepted. They stood there for a while until Tidus finally broke the silence.

"What do you think Sora is doing right now?" He asked her inquisitively.


"I wouldn't know. I have never met him, but I am sure from what I hear from you guys he is alright." She said it as if she had said the exact same thing previously.

Tidus then put his hand over the one she had just set down, "I hope so, I really do."

"Well I checked the door in the secret place again. It still wont budge, Eh." He seemed bored. He obviously had looked in the room many a time. Each and every time to no avail. He seemed to ignore the fact that Tidus and Yuna were no longer searching.

"Maybe if we could get our hands on one of those Gummi Ships they keep talking about…" He stopped thinking it over, "maybe we could search out there, Eh." He finished off by gesturing toward the sky.

Yuna turned around and looked at her friend. She saw his bulked up form. She saw the way his red headband wrapped around his strangely colored hair. The wind picking up every few strands, "Well if we could find someone to take us out there, how much do you think it would cost?"

"Eh?" He said jokingly. He brought about his left arm, which had golden clothing wrapped about it in complicated forms, and smoothed out his lightly colored shirt.

"I'd rather not think of the money right now.' He said it matter-of-factly.

"Well Wakka, if you don't we will never get anywhere" Tidus felt it was his turn to chime in.

Wakka then began to walk up to the two others. His dark brown pants were dragged along the floor. He first walked up to Yuna. He brought about his arm, which had a plate of armor atop the shoulder, and removed the vest that still warmed Yuna. He then walked over to Tidus and placed it atop him. "Well now that we are all ready let us go to town and see if there is a Gummi Ship for sale."

Wakka went down the road, which led to the town. Yuna and Tidus, both embarrassed followed close behind. Trees flooded their path. The floor below them was made up of soil and pebbles. It was reaching twilight around them and it would soon become dark. They wished to get to town before that happened.

Somewhere half way down the road Wakka found something that actually meant progress.

"Hey guys come over here!" He called out to his comrades who seemed to have fallen behind. "Look at what I have found, Eh!"

They were then suddenly engulfed with energy and ran for their friend, "What!" They both said in unison.

Once they were all gathered around what appeared to be a sign Wakka read allowed what was written upon it.

Cid's Town Shop.
It has everything you will need for your travels ahead.
We have weapons, potions, armor, and we even have Gummi Ship's.
We only have three of the ships.
The ones who come to me with the "right" price will get the ships.

"I think we finally got our big break, eh." He said happily.

"Yeah I know" Yuna said as she grasped Tidus's hand.

"It's great" Tidus quickly looked down at the hand, which Yuna had clasped. He tightened the grip and then smiled while looking into her eyes.

Wakka broke it up by quickly saying, "Come on let's go guys"

After which they continued on to the town, this time walking with much more energy. This time they might actually find a way to get to Sora. That is if they had the "right" price.
