Tidus's Pride

Disclaimer: I don't own FFX or FFX-2, and I never will.

A/N: Uhhhhh okay, R&R. That's it. Buh Bye.

*Tidus's Pov*

I stood in the farplane, staring out into the landscape. I don't know why I had to suffer.

"I can't take it anymore" I said to Auron. "I need to go back to Spira!"

Auron lightly chuckled. "You can't go back, you know it." It's almost like he wants me to stay here.

"I know. Dammit" I swore under my breath.

"Still that little whiny brat aren't you Tidus?" My dad, Jecht, said to me.

"You know, it sucks being here, while all the other guys in Spira get to live a happy life." I said to Auron, Jecht, and Braska.

"You know," Braska said to me, smiling "you surprise me, Tidus. You gave your life away to save Spira. You should be proud of yourself!"

"Yeah, I guess you're right, I guess" I said. "But you don't understand see. It's hard when you love someone and you have to be away from them forever."

*Yuna's Pov*

"Well, I guess it's time to accept that the fact that you're never coming back after all" I said to myself sighing. "Why do I keep telling myself your still out there!?"

"Yunie?" Rikku called out from the Besaid Beach. "Are you still out there in the water?"

"Yes, are Wakka and Lulu having us over for dinner?"

"Uh-huh. Get your clothes, I won't wait up for too long!"

"Rikku, always will be that cheery Al bhed girl." I whispered.

I hurried over to the Island of Besaid. "I just don't know what to think of you anymore, Tidus..."

Paine hurried over to me. "Rikku told me about, well, you know, this Tidus person. I just wanted you to know that something looks fishy about him. He could be Shuyin in disguise." Paine shrugged.

"Oh c'mon Paine. Tidus was based on Shuyin, he was a dream, by the faith of an aeon. He was truly the only thing that could defeat Sin.

"Okay, just telling you something that's been going on in my head for a while"

"Alright, It's just been two years already." I said solemnly to Paine

"Yuna, it's time you let go of the past, I say you should find a new lover, how about Baralai, eh? He's cute, right?"

"Just give me some time, this is a big decision I have to make.

"Like that time you were about to get married to Seymour?" Paine smirked.

"Don't remind me about that!" I rolled my eyes.

*Tidus's POV*

"Dad, if I ever got the chance to actually live again, and I had the choice between Spira and Zanarkand, what should I pick?" I asked Jecht.

"Its your decision boy, make the right choice. Who knows, you might even make the right decision, for once." He laughed.

"Awww whadya you know?!" I rolled my eyes at him.

"Whatever, Braska says we might be able to fight some imaginary fiends thought up of the dead ones here in the Farplane..."Jecht quickly changed the subject.

"Really? I haven't fought in a long time!" I yelled, the Caladabolg quickly drawing in my hands.

"Hey, nice sword you have there. How about a trade?"

"Hey you two, calm down." Braska said to us.

"Heh, both of you still have that whiny, cocky attitude since we came here" Auron said.

"Like father like son, I guess" Braska laughed.

"Hey look! I see a Behemoth King!" I said Jubilantly.

"Watch out, that thing casts a meteor shower at you when you kill it." Jecht said.

"We can't die remember? We're already dead!" I answered back

"Just a little tip if you ever do get back."

I ran towards the huge beast, slashing at the each of its legs. It casted a Death spell at me. I easily dodged it.

"Wow, the boy already knows how to dodge magic!" Jecht said. "He learns a lot from you Auron"

"Hey, what can I say, I've made him into the best guardian ever."Auron joked.

I could hear the guys' cheers. That really gave me the urge to do something incredible. I threw up the Caladabolg, gave a quick glimpse of the sword's handle, and as it came down, I kicked the Caladabolg's bottom handle and it went flying toward the Behemoth's stomach. Pyreflies came from it's dying body. As the "dream fiend" disappeared.

"I must say, I'm impressed with you Tidus."Auron congratulated me. "You really are considered a real hero"

"You've already passed my sword skills" Jecht said.

"All you need now is mage training" Braska said.

"Thanks guys." All that fighting made me think even more of Yuna. "Wherever you are, Yuna, I hope you're thinking of me."

*Yuna's Pov*

Making this decision...to leave you forever or to hold you...has been the most tough decision I had to make since I became a summoner.

"Yunie, time for dinner!" Rikku shouted out.

"I'm coming."

"Listen, about Tidus..."Paine said to Rikku, "Are you sure he's not Shuyin?"

"Of course he isn't," Rikku answered back," I was the first person to meet him, even before Yuna." She said softly.

I could hear them through my hut, It tore me apart to think Paine didn't trust me. "'Paine!" I shouted from inside my hut, "I've decided that I'm going to forget about Tidus! I'm going to find someone, maybe even someone from the Crimson Squad!"

"Finally you take my advice!" Paine answered.

"What!?" Rikku said, "Yunie! Have you gone mad!? Didn't you use to love Tidus!? DIDN'T YOU USED TO CHERISH HIM!?!?" Rikku didn't notice that all of Besaid was staring at her. Even Wakka.

"You mean, that kid, Tidus, you really forgetting 'bout him Yuna?" The red headed blitzball player said.

"It looks like it" I sulked.

Rikku fainted.
