Chapter 3: An Outing of Coffee and Bagels
Mattius2k04: Heh, bagels what a silly word! *eats a bagel*. Well, enjoy chapter 3!
It didn't take long for me to realize that we had a lot in common. Me and Tidus, of course. I had only just met him, but I thought that he was a nice person. Plus, he seemed smart. And he sure was cute!
He was talking about blitzball, and I guess I took comfort in his easy- going nature, because I subconsciously moved closer as I got more interested in his 'stories'.
"So hey, why would a girl like you want to be a fighter?" Tidus asked me suddenly. I felt my throat lock for a second, a little frightened to give a good response.
"A girl like me?" I repeated. I didn't really mind, but I don't think I ever gave it much thought as to why I was doing this. "I don't know. . .I guess I just thought about how fun it would be and great to help people. . ." I trailed off.
"That's a good attitude, Yuna." Tidus responded, taking another drink from his coffee. "I guess I'm the same way, 'cept with me it's more of a cool mercenary badass thing."
I giggled unexpectedly at his last sentence. I was able to stifle my laugh, as always. For some reason, I had gotten into the habit of stifling my laugh, no matter how funny a joke was. "Yeah, we're different there!" I replied.
"I guess." Tidus shrugged in response, glancing over to the nearby Café absentmindedly.
"Well, I hope we can do some missions together!" I chimed in. This got his attention, and he smiled back at me, that wide, intriguing smile.
"That will be great." He replied, still smiling. I already loved his smile, it had a sort of hidden meaning to it. . .kind of.
It was another half hour before we went our separate ways, as we both indulged each other in our lives and experiences at that little café in Balamb Garden. From then on, everything changed.
Later. . .
I was tryin' to talk to Lulu, but like Tidus said, she wouldn't be easy. Not even for me, the legendary Wakka! First mistake I made was tellin' her I got 53% on my Entrance Exam. Even I could tell she didn't like that.
"You got 53%?" Lulu asked, not even looking at me.
"Yeah, but Gunblades are hard to use!" I protested. "You gotta have perfect timing, or you're gonna miss a lot with the shooting part."
"Indeed." Lulu replied. "I'd love to stay and chat, but I really must go. Unpacking, you see. It was. . .interesting talking to you." And with that, she turned and hurried off. She was good!
But some way, maybe I could get her to be mine.
