The night it came to me

Next chapter

By shadows/of/flame

Hey all. I know I said the first 5 that got it right would have this chapter dedicated to them but seems I had no idea when I'd finish this chapter I just want to say everyone that said Tidus was right handed and he signed with his left meaning the marriage is invalid is right. And yes I kinda took it out of a book, but I was desperate and I was tired and Yuna is evil .

Yes I know its a bit lame, but a reviewer said that he/she hoped that he wouldn't be forced to marry Yuna Seems I was stuck for ideas, I took that one and adapted The Series Of Unfortunate Events (1) to fit it. Ta da! Sorry if you don't like it YunieYuna :-(

Me sad that me can't please everyone o-o

Yuna tugged at Tidus, and held his hand, but he stood back.

"Where are Wakka and Rikku? I want to see them safe first!"

While Tidus was demanding that Wakka and Rikku be brought to him, the priest was cross examining Tidus' birth certificate (courtesy of Jechts pyreflies) and the wedding document he had just signed.

4 words greeted the priest.

Tidus

was

right

handed

Rikku and Wakka were brought out by Seymour and propelled into the arms of Lulu and Kimahri.

"Excuse me. Everyone." The priest said loudly.

He got everyones attention.

"Just before the High Summoner Yuna and Sir Tidus leave on their honeymoon, I have something to ask."

He turned to Tidus.

"Are you right handed?"

"Yes sir." Tidus answered.

The priest sighed.

"You and the Lady Yuna aren't married."

Tears coursed their way down Rikkus already tear stained cheeks.

"The document has to be signed in the grooms own hand. Since Sir Tidus signed with his left hand, and he is right handed... the marriage is invalid."

Tidus pulled away from Yunas previously iron grip and went straight over to his friends.

"You cheapskate! You can't prove anything!" Yuna screamed, at Tidus and the priest.

Tidus looked at her, just as evilly as she looked at him.

"The tapes will."

He poked his tongue out (evilly), just as Cid picked him up by the collar and hoisted him up onto the airship.

-------------------------------------------

Tidus held on for dear life as the airship sped out of shooting range. Cid yelled out over the intercom for Tidus to get inside or he'd tan Tidus' ass, so Tidus jumped inside the nearest window.

"Mmmm.... Looks like I found the kitchen!"

Tidus had a brief shower to wash the Yuna off him (no offence Yuna and Tidus lovers ), then ate to his hearts content.

"Does anyone know where Rikku is? Shes been missing ever since we were rescued ya?" Asked Wakka through a mouthful of noodle stir-fry.

"She wanted to be alone" Cid replied also through a mouthful of food as he motioned for Brother to serve up more of the delicious stir-fry.

"W.. would it be OK if I went to talk to her?" Tidus asked quietly, "I have to apologise."

Cid grinned, laughing his head off.

"If you can find her son, sure you can."

Tidus swiftly cleared his plate of all food (ate it), washed his plate, dried it, put it away, and set off in search of his Al Bhed friend.

He looked everywhere, but a few hours later he heard sobbing.

He shoved aside some boxes he had passed 3 times in the past few hours to reveal a miniscule hole.

'Oh man... Note to self: less pies.' Tidus thought glumly as he plunged himself into the hole head first.

Rikku was sitting by a window just as small as the hole Tidus had just crawled through, her back facing him.

Tidus wondered if he should leave and come back later.

"I know you're here Tidus." Rikku said almost as though she had read his mind. Her voice was strained and muffled, as though she was tired.

"Have you been crying?" Tidus gently asked, walking a little closer to her scrunched up form

She sighed deeply.

"That easy to see huh?"

Tidus smiled.

"No."

She was quiet.

Rikku shifted her head from looking through the window to rest on her knees. She felt uncomfortable. Tidus would never know her true feelings - he had already made a huge sacrifice for her and Wakka, which made her feel worse. Like the DID. (damsel in distress)

"Rikku... please don't cry." Tidus' voice snapped her out of her thoughts.

"Why not? You treat Yuna like shes a fayth on a pedastool - there to admire, never to be like. Never to equal." Rikku sobbed.

Tidus was horrified.

"E...muja(d) oui" (I loved you) she whispered in Al Bhed, which he didn't understand that well.

"Rikku..." he whispered, placing a hand on her shoulder, "Do you know why I "married" Yuna?

Because she gave me 3 choices, all as bad as the next.

To marry her. To kill you with my own hands (or) To escape without you and Wakka.

Which one is better Rikku? Let you and Wakka die? Kill you with my own bare hands? I didn't want anything to happen to you or Wakka."

Rikku nodded her head slowly.

"I... I think I understand."

Tidus sat down next to her.

"I'm sorry that I made you cry." he said softly.

She smiled for the first time since the two of them had spent that time in the treehouse.

She rested her head against his shoulder slightly.

"I love oui Ti."

----------------------------------------

"Bedtime." Tidus whispered to the girl that was asleep in his lap, her head resting on his chest.

Rikkus weight shifted around.

"Less pies!" Tidus growled quitely to himself as he squeezed Rikku AND himself through the hole he had entered by.

The hole was in the engine room, so Tidus slipped off his shoes and padded to Rikkus bedroom.

Rikku made small noises.

"What is it?"

"Not in there." she whispered, "A storms coming."

Sure enough, thunder and lightning started to ... storm loudly, and the rain was already pouring.

Tidus smiled and took her into his room.

"Sleep." Tidus ordered, and tucked her into bed.

He put his PJs on, and slid into bed beside Rikku, sleep taking him almost immediately.

--------------------------------

"Good morning fellow sleepy heads." Lulu greeted sleepily as everyone entered the kitchen for breakfast.

"Hello." Tidus replied sleepily.

Wakka guffawed.

Cid made Brother start to serve breakfast as soon as everyone (but Rikku) was present.

Suddenly everyone heard light footsteps.

"Who? What?" Cid asked.

Tidus grinned, went outside the kitchen door and retrieved Cleo, the family pet, from the hallway.

Wakka grinned.

"Scared of a cat?" Tidus teased.

Cid nodded.

"Allergic actually. Cleo is Rikkus cat."

Tidus stroked her.

And she bit him.

"Aww shit!" Tidus yelled as Cleo hissed uncontrollably.

Rikku heard this from her room, so she went to the kitchen pronto.

"Cleo!" she scolded, scooping Cleo up from where Tidus had dropped her, "Don't eat Tidus! He probably doesn't taste very nice!"

Everyone started to laugh.

Lulu smirked.

"Speaking of food, me and Wakka are having some priests over for dinner so we'll have to go home and get dinner ready. Its a roast." she groaned.

"See you guys later, ya?" Wakka laughed.

Wakka and Lulu were dropped off while Rikku fed Cleo.

"Bad kitty. You're in the dog box."

Cleos ears raised a few centimetres.

Tidus laughed.

"What dog?"

The... end of the chapter? Yes. Is Cleo allergic to Tidus? No. Is Cleo named after someone I know? You'll have to guess.
