Chapter 19

Yuna stared at Tidus, who held a blank expression on his face, "Are you ok?"

His blue eyes stared right through the brunette gunner that stood before him, then looked around, then looked back at her. "I don't remember."

Y: "Don't remember what?" His blank stare suddenly gave her a chill - did he forget me?

"Anything."

Her heart sank. "What about . . . " She paused. Yuna still could only find a blank stare coming from him.

Y: "What about me?"

Yun ran over to him and threw her arms around him. "You can't forget."

"Yuna." she stopped at the sound of her name - coming from him.

T: "Well, - i - uh - I "

Y: "You were faking!"

T: "Umm. . . Well, I shouldn't have, but I just couldn't resist." Y: "I can't believe you'd do that to me, after you just let Shuyin take you and then you'd fake me out."

T: "Well, I was scared you'd try to kill me, so I had to make sure you still loved me."

Y: "That's the stupidest excuse I've ever heard."

T: "Your arms were around me, and you weren't trying to kill me, I think it worked. Come on, I have something to show you."

He grabbed her hand and pulled her along the street past the tall buildings and came up on a sphere pool - A statue of a male warrior knelt before the entrance on each side of the entrance, holding the symbol of a blitzball team. A single white wing was painted just under each statue.

This is my Zanarkand. This is where I played for the Zanarkand Abes. Auron watched me for many years. Back then I didn't realize his true purpose for being here was to watch over me. I just thought he was a neighbor. Until that night - Sin attacked. Auron was waiting for me. And after that . . . well, I found you. I finally get to show you my Zanarkand.

Y: "The city that never sleeps."

T: "There's something else I want to show you."

He took her to a beach where the waves were meeting the shoreline.

They sat down and took off their shoes and let the waves gently consume their feet.

He watched her as the wind gently blew her hair back, and her skirt flew gently against the morning winds. He placed his arm around her and she leaned against him.

The dark knight sky began to light up and the stars began to fade - away from the incoming morning, the sunrise lit up the whole sky and was really, pretty.

Yuna whisphered to him, "I do like it."

"I knew you would." He smiled as he reached to her soft lips for a kiss.

They enjoyed the sunrise toghether - happy just being in each other's company.

The fayth appeared behind them. The little male voice: "Yuna." Yuna and Tidus stood up and faced the fayth.

Fayth: "This dream is fading, I wasn't ready to let go yet, but I am now. My dream has come true. My dream is real." He turned to Tidus. "I was human once, I knew what it was to be real, while I cannot go back, I wanted my dream to become real. To live and be happy. You were my dream. Today it will end, but you will live on. A piece of my dream will live. The summoners of Zanarkand are smiling today, resting in peace and knowing that our dreams were not in vain."

Fayth: "There is no need to worry anymore. You will not fade, You are human - as we once were - many years ago. I will rest now."

Fatyh: "Are you ready?"

Yuna: "I have a question first."

The boy nodded at her.

Y: "Auron said I was going to have a baby. What did he mean?"

The fayth slightly chuckled. "I spent a great amount of time with Auron as well. He may not admit it, or let on, but Auron too, believes in romance. It is clear you two are in love - most couples who are in love have children. There is no need to rush anything. My dream is real."

Yuna nodded at him. "Thank you."

Fayth: "Ready now?"

Tidus: "Yes, send us home."
