(Well, here is the next chapter. It's a bit longer than the last chapter and a bit funnier. I have also described the characters more in this one, as I didn't do it in the last chapter. That way people who haven't played the game know what they look like. Anyway, Hope you like it! Oh, and if you haven't finished FFX, there could be a few spoilers in it. Enjoy! ^_^)

To Uri-chan – thanks for the review so here's the next chapter!

To Ashita no Sora – Thanks for your review too and I hope this will put your mind at rest! Don't worry, there will be more chapters up soon!

(I don't own any of the characters from FFX/FFX.2)

A Wonderer Returns
Chapter 2 – A lost memory

She started running towards the newly formed figure that was standing where the ray of light had just shone upon, moments before it disappeared. It was a boy of about 19 years with short blond hair, blowing in the breeze. The clothes he was wearing looked rather like a blitzball uniform. He was staring unbelievably at his hands. They were real all right. 'I can't remember a thing...who am I?' he thought. 'Where am I?' It was when he started scanning this strange, dark landscape that he noticed a figure running towards him. He squinted into the distance to try and make out whom it could be.

Soon the figure had come close enough for him to make out. It was a young girl, about 19. She had short brown hair, which brushed against her neck as she ran. It flicked out at the ends in a kind of cute way. She was wearing a white top and blue shorts, as well as a blue side skirt, which was trailing behind her. When he looked at her face, he noticed that she had beautiful eyes. One was blue and the other was green. They seemed to have a feeling of longing shining through them – a longing that appeared to be aimed...towards him.

Not looking back for one second, she leaped into the arms of her lost love. She hugged him with all she could...

'Do I know this girl?' he thought. 'She certainly seems like she knows me!' He felt very confused. 'Surely I can remember her...? Well...then again, I can't even remember my own name, let alone someone else's!' He ignored his thoughts, '...Well...even if I don't know her, I could do with a hug!' He wrapped his arms around her waist.

"It's you, it's really you!" She cried.

"Err...Ah-ha...?!" He agreed, confused at her words.

Noticing his hesitation, she pulled away from the hug and gripped hold of his upper arms, looking into his eyes, puzzled. "It is...you...isn't it Tidus?" She asked.

"Err...umm..." He was lost for words. 'What do I say now?!!' he thought frantically. 'She thinks I'm this... this Tidus! Oh why did I have to hug her back?! If she realises that I might not be the person she thinks I am she will freak out!!!!'

"Isn't it?" she asked again, more forcefully this time.

"Umm...err..." 'Oh come ON! Say something – ANYTHING!!!!!' "Err... to be honest...I'm not sure who I am..." he said quietly, looking down at the ground in sadness.

The girl pulled her hands up to her mouth in shock.

"You mean...you mean you don't...you don't remember?" she breathed.

He shook his head. He didn't remember a thing. Who he was, where he was, where he came from or what he was doing here. He had loads of questions he wanted to ask. Maybe this girl could help him find the answers.

She continued to stare at him unbelievably. "How...why...?" She seemed to have lost her ability to speak.

"I don't know." He replied, somehow knowing what she was going to say. 'But maybe you do...' he wondered.

"I...you...we..." the girl stammered, still lost for words. She saw the sadness in his face and sighed, "You really don't remember, do you." She said sadly.

He shook his head again.

"My...my name is Yuna. I am a member of the Gullwings. We are a sphere hunting group who travel all over Spira hunting for spheres. These are my friends Rikku and Paine." She pointed behind her as she mentioned each of her friend's names.

The boy looked over at the two girls standing a few feet behind Yuna. 'That's funny,' he thought. 'I don't remember seeing them arrive...' He looked at them both. Rikku had her blonde hair held up high on her head by a blue bandana. She had bright green eyes, rather like Yuna's green eye. As for clothes, she wasn't wearing much. She was sporting a really short green skirt and a skimpy yellow top. 'Very daring...' He thought. Her sleeves, which were covered in bows, weren't joined to her top but attached to the upper part of her arm. The way she seemed to be skipping on her toes all the time made him think that Rikku was a bit of a live wire! The other girl, Paine, looked a complete contrast to the blond firework. She was wearing black trousers and a black top. Her hair was cut short and her eyes red like fire. The way she was standing and the frown on her face, made him feel that she was a lot more laid back than the blond...almost emotionless.

"What do you mean he doesn't remember?" Rikku questioned. "Of course he remembers – don't you Tidus?" She ran forward and stood next to Yuna.

Tidus shook his head. "No...I -"

"But you must remember something!" she cried, interrupting him. "What about the time we defeated Sin? When we were Yuna's guardians and helped her through her pilgrimage as a Summoner?" He continued to stare at her. "Or...what about when we stormed in and stopped Yuna's wedding to that evil Seymour Guado guy? We sure showed him!" The blond boy still stared at her. "Err...he he...umm.........w-what about the time we –"

"Shut UP ALREADY!!!!" Paine shouted. Rikku jumped at the sound of her friend's sudden outburst. "CAN'T YOU SEE THE POOR GUY HAS LOST HIS MEMORY? Geez, give him a break..."

"He he...sorry Paine..." She said sadly kicking the ground with her feet.

"Anyway..." Yuna continued, "You're name is Tidus. You came to Spira two years ago saying that you came from Zanarkand. Rikku found you and brought you onto her ship – "

"I think that this could take a while," Paine interrupted. "I think we should explain what has happened on the way back to Besaid."

"Oh, okay then," said Yuna.

"Mmm" Rikku grumbled, still upset over her telling-off from Paine.

"You're taking me with you then?" he asked them.

"You didn't think we would leave you here on your own completely clueless?" Rikku joked, suddenly cheering up.

"I guess not," Tidus agreed.

"Well let's go then!" Rikku ordered. "I'll show ya the way!!" She started marching off along the pathway, the others having to run to keep up.

'And so it begins...' Tidus thought to himself as he followed up the rear.

(Well, that's the end of Chapter 2! Hope it was ok ^_^. Don't forget to review guys, because I'm new at this and could do with a few opinions – good and bad! The next chapter will be about some old friends and some new. So until then, Au revoir and goodbye!!!)
