The Story of Tidus after Sin
I don't own any of these characters. Squaresoft does.
Author's Notes: Yes, I have to admit; reading Chapter 2 didn't seem that great. It felt as if it were unfinished. Ugh, confusion isn't good. And sorry for not updating in a while, I've been busier than I expected to be for the summer. Oh yeah, [ ] is Tidus's thoughts. ~ ~ is others' thoughts.
And with that one image, Tidus was off to discover a new world, again.
Chapter 3 "Blitzball?"
Tidus found himself in some dark, murky water with no land in sight. The sky displayed a dusk purple color, with a mist of clouds surrounding him. He had no recollection of what just happened. [Where am I? What just happened?] His head felt as if something crushed it. He soon lost consciousness.
He awaked this time to find sunny skies. The radiant rays of the sun shone upon him as he lay on a beach. It seemed a tropical atmosphere as he saw palm trees and clear skies. His headache subsided considerably, but he could not remember anything about him. He decided to get up and look for help.
Meanwhile, a boy, about the age of seven, watched Tidus as he floated to shore and approached the boy. He was wearing some green overalls and was holding some sort of spherical object with some irregularities in it. It was blue and white.
"Umm.Hi. Uh.could you help me out?" Tidus was completely unsure of what to ask him. He did not know how the boy would respond or something.
"Like what?" The curious boy asked.
"Uh.like where am I? And who are you? And what are you doing out here? And is there an adult I can talk to?"
"Well, who are you?"
"I'm Tidus."
"And I'm Casey, nice to meet ya!"
"Uhh.nice to meet you, too."
"Oh okay. Well, you're on Kilika Island. And I'm training to be the world's best blitzball player!"
"Blitzball?"
"What? You've never heard of blitzball before?! Umm.maybe I should go get a grown-up."
And with that, Casey ran alongside the beach in the south direction, and yelled, "Be back later!"
Tidus watched him run, still oblivious to anything around him. Casey suddenly turned around about 40 paces away from him, and bellowed, "By the way, you look really familiar!" He then put the ball on the ground and cried out, "Think fast!" He kicked the ball with all his strength at Tidus to see how he would react. Tidus caught the ball with such ease that he amazed himself.
"Whoa! Okay, I'm gone!" Casey shouted. He ran as fast as he could.
Tidus examined the ball. [Blitzball? What's blitzball? I wonder what's it like.] So, to pass the time, he began to kick the blitzball around. He started with some simple dribbling. This game, it did not seem that difficult to play. He soon discovered himself kicking the ball in the air and performing more intricate shots.
As Casey and a woman were returning, Tidus suddenly pulled something he did not know that he had.
*Cue Jecht Shot*
"Whoa!!! Was that just the Jecht Shot?!" The dumbfounded spectators asked.
"Huh? Jecht Shot? I don't know where that came from." Tidus did not know anything. He displayed such a perplexed look that it shocked Casey.
This woman, she was quite attractive. She looked to be about twenty years old. She had bright red hair down to her shoulders, brilliant hazel eyes, luscious lips, and a nice frame to go along with it. She answered, "Umm.Hi I'm Halley and Casey's sister. It seems that you're suffering from amnesia, Tidus. Does the name 'Yuna' sound familiar?"
[Yuna..Yuna Yuna Yuna, nope, doesn't ring a bell.] "I'm sorry, Halley, but I'm afraid not."
Shocked, she just whispered to Casey, "Whoa.must be some major amnesia." Her voice raised, "Do you remember anything?"
Tidus thought again. He tried to remember anything about himself in the past. Nothing, absolutely nothing, that is what he came up with. As he was about to speak, he unexpectedly recalled something. It was unclear, but it was something. "Well, I remember something, but I don't know what."
"Oh, okay." Halley decided not to overwhelm him with trying to remember what that was. If he were to remember everything immediately, she was sure it would confuse him. She chose to let him ease back into the world by playing blitzball in Kilika. Good thing plenty of blitzball arenas exist now than the one in Luca. "Well, Tidus, you can just stay here playing blitzball until you can remember something."
Tidus said, "Oh, okay, thanks." [Better being here than lost without anybody.]
Casey, being the seven-year-old kid that he was, whispered, "Hey, big sis, you like him, don't you?"
She murmured, making sure Tidus could not hear, "No, of course not silly, he's already taken."
_______________________________________________________________
So, Tidus lingered around Kilika and "learned" to play more blitzball. The more he played, the more he liked the game: the tackling, the blocking, and eminently the shooting! For about a week, Halley and Casey went to watch him play. Pretty much, everyone went to see him play. If it was not for his dazzling skills, then it was for a chance to see the legendary guardian, Tidus.
One day, after a tournament win of a blitzball game against a local Kilika team, Halley came into the locker room to congratulate him. Tidus had just been finished getting dressed when she came in. She complimented him, "Wow! You've sure gotten really good in so little time." She knew he was always good to begin with.
Tidus smiled. "Oh thanks, Halley. You know, I wouldn't have made it like this if it wasn't for you."
She rouged. "Aww.thanks."
Tidus just replied, "No, it's true! It really should be me thanking you! I wouldn't have learned to play blitzball if you hadn't suggested it."
Halley was flattered. ~He's so modest! He's just exaggerating! Even if I didn't introduce blitzball to him, he would have picked it up sooner or later. He is cute, too. Maybe I could ask him out or something. Wait a minute! Why I am thinking that? He's already a taken man!~
So, trying to get this thought out of her mind, she asked, "So, is your memory getting any better?"
"Umm.not really. But I do remember this one portrait of someone. Of a woman."
"Really? Who?"
"I don't know."
"Well, what's she look like?"
"I don't know. The image is still obscure; I can't really see any definition or color of her."
"Oh, okay."
Halley felt an uncomfortable silence transpire. She saw that Tidus did not. He was absolutely unaware of any feelings or emotions.
Attempting to end her discomfort, she uttered, "Well, I gotta go now. I gotta check on my little brother. Hey, Tidus, if you aren't busy some time, maybe we can go out or do something."
"Sure thing. I'll call you sometime, then."
He hugged her and sincerely said, "Thanks for everything." He waved a goodbye. She stood there, thinking, ~Did he just hug me? Did he just say he'll call me? Maybe.~ She was interrupted by the Tidus's voice.
"Hey, don't you have to go?"
Her cheeks reddened with embarrassment. ~Oops!~ "Oh yeah, okay bye!" She waved and ran off. Again, Tidus just waved back, unaware of the reason of Halley's embarrassment.
Halley would not admit it, but she was beginning to have a crush on Tidus.
_______________________________________________________________
Meanwhile, news quickly began circling around Spira that Tidus was playing blitzball in Kilika.
Yuna had been attending to important matters in Besaid dealing with its seaports. She was quite worn from the issue of mariners' wages. Interesting how life has changed in only two years. She was taking a nap in her old room in Wakka's and Lulu's place when Wakka barged in bellowing, "Yuna! Yuna! Wake up! He's here! He's here!"
Yuna woke up instantly. She knew it must have been Tidus who Wakka was talking about. No way would he be this excited if it wasn't Tidus. Joyously, she shouted, "Where?! Where?! Where is he?!"
"Playing blitzball in Kilika. We're going right now, ya? Just let me go get Lulu!"
"Okay then! Hurry up!"
Wakka sprinted out of the house. Yuna's thoughts raced through her mind. Adrenaline rushed through her veins. ~He's really here?! Finally! After two years, he's finally her! Words can't explain what I'm feeling right now! I can't wait to see him! Then we can go back to being a couple and live happily ever after!~
Wakka came back; this time with Lulu. They both hugged Yuna and united in her exuberance.
"Okay, off to Kilika!"
As they were leaving the residence, an airship arrived. It landed in front of them, and Rikku jumped out. She shouted, "Hey! I didn't expect to see you here Yunie! Have you heard the good news?"
Yuna replied, "Yeah! I can't wait! Let's go see him! But wait, shouldn't we get Kimahri, too?"
Rikku assured her, "He's already on the airship. It's interesting how Tidus has already been here in Spira for a week, and he hasn't come to see us yet, you know?"
"What? A week?"
"You didn't know? Well, yeah, he's been here for a week already.Um.Maybe he's waiting for us to show off a new look or something. C'mon, let's go!"
Yuna did not like how Rikku hesitated with that statement. ~It's not like him to do something like that. If he came back, she would be the first thing he would look for. Yeah, we better be going.~
They all entered the airship. And with poise, Yuna yelled, "Let's go!"
_______________________________________________________________
Kind of a boring chapter, I would have to admit. But the plot is thickening with a potential sweetheart!
And who does Tidus remember?! Stay Tuned!
*Is this story even slightly good?*
*I didn't read it over and over again, so spots might seem unfinished and such.*
*I was originally going to make this chapter and the next chapter in one. But as I was writing this, this got too long and I had to split it. I've got a couple ideas for the next chapter, but I'll have to think about which I'll use. A fourth chapter might be done in a week or a month. Depends how people like this story. Someone keep me motivated!*
