"Sir Tidus?" the woman who had approached the Ex-Summoner and Guardian asked. Yuna's eyes widened, she didn't need this at all today.
"Shelinda...um we're really busy, do you think you could maybe talk to us later?" Yuna asked hoping that Shelinda would buy it and not want to do a couple of interviews.
"I'm sorry lady Yuna but the world is going to want to know where Sir Tidus has been the past two years. It's not everyday Spiras top Blitzer and son of the amazing Jecht is seen out with the woman who defeated Sin. So...where exactly have you been? "
"Funny...I wish I knew the answer to that question." Tidus mumbled incoherently.
"Please let us have a short interview with Sir Tidus! I promise I won't bother you again!" Shelinda told them.
"Well...If it's alright with Tidus." Yuna said looking to her friends. Rikku sighed.
"Yunie we're supposed to be shopping!" Rikku squealed unhappily.
"Well...us girls can go shopping while we leave Tidus here for his interview" Yuna smiled and before Tidus could protest she pecked his cheek, grabbed Rikku and Paine, and had disappeared.
"I guess I'm here alone..." Tidus sighed and Shelinda giggled grabbing Tidus's arm.
"Come on lets get out of the sun."
Tidus was pulled around Luca by an extremely energetic reporter who seemed to be enjoying the fact that she was pulling around one of the sexiest men in Spira. Soon the two had reached an empty café where Tidus had guessed his interview would take place.
"So...now where should we begin?" Shelinda asked as Tidus-being a gentleman pulled out a chair for her.
"Well...I haven't done an interview in a long time so why don't you begin." Shelinda nodded.
"Hold on I want to get some information from you before I call my recorder." Shelinda shifted through her bag apparently searching for her pen and paper, when she had her materials ready she motioned for Tidus to sit and relax.
"Ok...Sir Tidus it has been two years since you disappeared, what do you find different in Spira today than in Spira two years ago?" Tidus pondered the question, he wasn't sure how to answer it, but he decided it was the best just to tell the truth.
"One thing I noticed when I returned to Spira was how happy and carefree the people are. Children would be playing without supervision and many people were enjoying the lives they thought they would have to live in fear. Two years ago Spira was completely different, you barely saw children out of their houses, men and women were more worried about the battle with sin than the true meaning of life...now they know the meaning to live it like it would be the last day of your life." Shelinda listened patiently, she too had realized how different Spira had become, but she thought of it economy wise, she never thought how much the people of Spira had changed.
"Wise words...How did you react to hearing the stories of Vegnagun and the fight lady Yuna had to go through to save Spira once again?" Shelinda heard a faint laugh and Tidus raised his head.
"I wasn't surprised. Yuna's the kind of girl that would never let innocent people get hurt, she would stand up for those who couldn't, and take care of any threat to her or her friends. She would do anything for them and for Spira."
"Did it sort of bum you out when you found out what you had missed over the past two years?" Tidus turned his head to the window.
"A little at first...I felt bad for missing Wakka and Lulu's wedding and the baby that they had together, but then I realized that the truth was...I really didn't miss anything. I'm here now and I can listen to the stories my friends have to tell me for the rest of my life." Shelinda smiled.
"On a more personal note...What's going on between you and Lady Yuna?" Tidus turned his head back to Shelinda.
"That is no one's business but ours, sorry to disappoint you." Shelinda sighed, her interviews always ended that way.
"Oh! One more question!" Tidus nodded and pressed her to go on further.
"Where exactly were you for the two years you were gone?"
"Reliving the life back home I had lost."
Yuna walked into a store followed closely by Paine, Rikku had already ran to the back of the store apparently looking for the sales rack.
"Do you think we should have left Tidus with Shelinda?" Yuna asked. Paine shook her head.
"I'm sure he'll be fine...You told me he was a famous Blitzer, so he should already know how to do an interview." Yuna smiled.
"You're right. I guess I'm just being a little over protective."
"A little?" Yuna looked at Paine who had a large grin adorning her face.
"Yes a little...enough fooling around let's go shopping!" Yuna began to walk to the back of the store where Rikku was currently searching for the perfect dress to where to her meeting with Gippal.
"YUNIE!" Yuna began to run to her cousin thinking that the blonde was into some trouble. When Rikku spotted her cousin she ran to her and threw a dress into her arms.
"Lookie what I found Tidus will love it!" Rikku screamed pointing to the dress. Yuna looked at the dress, of course it was beautiful and not all that expensive, but it was pretty skimpy for her taste.
"I don't know Rikku it shows a little too much skin for me." Rikku glared at Yuna.
"That's it! Get your keester into the changing room and try on that dress now!" Yuna was aback where did she get off telling her to do that? Before Yuna could counterattack Rikku she had pushed Yuna into a stall and held it from the outside.
"Try It on Yunie or you're not coming out of there" Yuna sighed defeated and began to put on the dress. When Yuna had the dress on she looked at herself in the mirror and she had to admit it looked good on her. The dress was a black knee length sequin dress without straps. It fit her figure perfectly and it hugged her hips.
"Rikku...hand me my purse"
The three girls were in the store for a total of 48 minutes, half of those minutes were spent making Yuna try on that dress. Rikku had ended up buying a baby blue spaghetti strapped dress that also hugged her figure, it was mid-calf length and the front was low cut to show a little cleavage. Even Paine had ended up buying something although it wasn't as elegant as the other two dresses it was the only thing that had caught her eye in the store. It was a long flowing dark blue dress that looked more like something Lulu would wear than her.
As they approached a near by café someone called out to Paine. As she turned to the owner of the voice she was greeted by a well known friend.
"Baralai? What are you doing here?" She asked hugging the former praetor Baralai.
"I was just here on a little Vacation. Its really good to see all of you" The three girls smiled. Something caught Yuna's eye and she excused herself from the rest of them.
"Tidus!" Yuna screamed catching his attention. As he jogged over to her she took in how handsome he was and how lucky she had become.
"Hey...did you have fun shopping?" he asked once he had reached her. She nodded.
"Yes...did you have fun with the interview?" He looked at her and smiled.
"It was certainly different, but yeah I guess it was fun." Tidus said as he scratched the back of his head.
"Come on I have someone I want you to meet." Yuna grabbed Tidus's arm just like how Shelinda had grabbed it and lead him back to where their friends were talking. As the two approached, Baralai turned to the new comer.
"Shuyin!"
Another cliffy! I'm bad...Thank you for all the reviewz u rock! Bree
