Chapter 2

"Yuna! Rikku!" Cid yelled from the kitchen. "Hurry up you two or you'll be late for school!"

Yuna quietly got out of bed, got dressed then left her room. As she closed her bedroom door behind her, Rikku opened her door and continued down to the kitchen with Yuna.

"Don't forget to show your cousin around the school before heading off to you're classes, Rikku." Cid told her.

"Actually, she'll be staying with me in my usual classes for a couple of days until the office can get Yuna her own schedule." Rikku said.

"Okay then. Have fun girls." Yuna and Rikku smiled as they left.

As they entered the school, Yuna got many stares from the other kids. "Don't worry Yunie. You'll be fine." Rikku ensured her. Yuna nodded in relief thinking that school with her cousin will be fun.

As they made their way down the hall, Rikku took Yuna to the office to register. Rikku left her since it would take her a while. She then went to her locker and took out her books for History class. Afterwards, she closed her locker, locked it then walked off.

"Hey Rikku." Lulu said as she approached her. "Where is you're cousin?" She asked.

"At the office registering. You'll see her later." Rikku told her.

"That's cool." Both smiled. Then all of a sudden, Wakka came up behind Lulu and swung his arm around her shoulder.

"Hey babe! Wanna come watch me and Tidus play some Blitzball after school today?" Wakka asked.

"Now about like, no." Lulu told him as she removed his arm from her shoulder.

"Hey! Can I come watch?" Rikku asked excitedly.

"Sure. Bring some friends too." Wakka said as he walked off to his next class.

"C'mon Lulu! Come! I'll bring Yunie with me." Rikku said.

"Argh fine. But only for a while." She told her.

"Yay! Well gotta go or I'll be late for History." Rikku said just before she ran off to her next class.

Yuna came walking out of the office looking down at her schedule. "I got...Geography first. Room 112." Yuna said to herself. She began walking down the hall searching for her first class.

"Aww come on Jess! I said I waz sorry!" Tidus said walking backwards in front of Jessica.

"Hmpt!" She pouted not caring.

"I can't just cancel my Blitzball practices after school to take you shopping!"

While still walking backwards, Tidus didn't even notice that he bumped into someone. That someone happened to be Yuna.

"Huh? Sorry kid." Tidus said not even looking at whom he bumped into and continued to follow Jessica begging for forgiveness.

"How rude." Yuna said to herself. She then continued walking down the hall towards her Geo class.

By the end of the day, Rikku had caught up to Yuna who was walking around the school. "So sorry Yunie! I got held up by my teachers copying notes after class." Rikku told her.

"It's okay." She replied. Rikku smiled.

"Oh forgot to tell you! Is it okay that we hang out by the pool for a while? That guy I was telling you about is there and Lulu and I are gonna watch him play Blitzball for a while." She said.

"Sounds like fun." Yuna told her.

"YAY! Lets go then!"

So Rikku then lead Yuna to the school's pool located in one of the gymnasiums. There they saw Wakka and Tidus already in the water with the rest of the team practicing for the tournament that was tomorrow. Rikku and Yuna walked up to Lulu.

"It's about time you made it. I can't stay long considering my date with Wakka tonight." Lulu said.

Rikku then introduced Lulu to her cousin, Yuna. Lulu was overjoyed to meet her, so was Yuna.

As the Blitzers continued to practice, Tidus looked up at the girls when he noticed Yuna standing with them. He continued to stare at her. Yuna looked over at him.

It's that guy who bumped into me earlier. What a creep. Why is he staring at me? What's his problem? Yuna thought to herself.

Wonder who that is? Oh my god she is so beautiful! Why haven't I seen her before? Tidus thought to himself.

"Hey Tidus look out!" Wakka shouted.

Tidus pulled away from his thoughts and turned around and the Blitzball hit him on the head. Tidus then became a bit light headed.

"Hey! Ya okay brudda?" Wakka asked. Tidus rubbed his head.

"I'm fine. I think we practiced enough for today." Tidus said as he swam over to the ladder and climbed out of the pool.

Tidus walked over to a bench and picked up a towel. He then began to dry himself off then placed his shirt back on. Tidus turned to the girls.

"Well, I'm outta here. See ya tonight Rikku."

Rikku smiled and said, "Can't wait!"

Tidus returned the smile, briefly glanced at Yuna then looked away, leaving the gym.

Rikku spun around. "Ah! He is such a—"

"Loser." Lulu said interrupting.

"I agree." Yuna said.

Rikku turned to them. "How can you say that? He is not a loser! And you don't even know him yet, Yuna."

"After today in the hallway, I think I know everything I want to know about him. And to tell you the truth, Rikku, I don't want to get to know him. He is impolite, uncouth, rude, very ignorant and...and—"

"Is a loser." Lulu said slightly giggling.

"Hmpt! FINE! Think what you want. A rather go out with him ANYTIME then with Wakka." Rikku told Lulu.

Lulu gave Rikku a death glare. "You will so pay for saying that Rikku."

Rikku smiled and said, "Come Yuna, time to go home."

Afterwards, Yuna followed Rikku out of the gym.

Later that night...

Tidus pulled into Rikku's driveway. "I can do this. I can do this. What am I worrying about? Its just a date with Rikku." Tidus said just before taking a deep breath.

Tidus stepped out of his car, walked up to her front porch and rang the buzzer. Cid opened the door soon after. "Good evening sir. I'm here for Rikku." Tidus explained to him.

"Yes of course. Please come in while I go get her." Cid told him.

Tidus entered the house and waited in the hall as Cid went up stairs to get Rikku. He took another deep breath. Soon after, Yuna came walking down the stairs.

"Hey." Tidus called out. Yuna looked over then walked up to him. "I don't think that we met before. I'm Tidus, star player of the school's Blitzball team, the Besaid Aurochs." He said trying to impress her.

"I'm Yuna, Rikku's older cousin. I'm just visiting for a while. I'm from Zanarkand." She told him.

Tidus smiled. Yuna smiled back.

"Nice to meet you." Tidus said gazing into her eyes. He couldn't control himself and continued to do so for a long period of time. Her blue and green mixed eyes, long silky hair, it was hard for him to resist.

"Same here." Yuna replied. It was the first time she had been so close to him and noticed this ocean blue eyes. Yuna found them to be very attractive alone with his choppy messed up blonde hairstyle. But no matter how tempting it was, she quickly turned away blushing slightly and walked into the kitchen.

Rikku came running down the stairs and ran over to Tidus, grabbing his hand and yanking him out of the house. It happened to quick that Tidus didn't even get a chance to say good night to Yuna.

Once Lulu had picked Wakka up at his place, he insisted on driving her somewhere special. Just outside town, Wakka took Lulu deep inside a forest where an abandoned Blitzball stadium was. Lulu was clueless in why he would take her there.

"The stadium is still in a good condition. Tidus and I always come here to practice Blitzball. I thought it would be a good place to talk and get to know each other better." Wakka told her.

"Wakka, we've been going to the same school together ever since we were kids." Lulu said.

He then took Lulu up to the sphere of water where they placed their feet in the water and relaxed. It was a beautiful night, gazing up at the night sky filled with many stars, and pyreflies floating around the stadium. It was perfect.

"You know Wakka, maybe you're not such a bad person after all." Lulu told him slightly blushing. He then sat down behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist. Lulu smiled as he leaned back against his chest.

She then turned her head, gazing into Wakka's eyes. Wakka slowly brought his mouth to hers and met in a long passionate kiss...

Unlike Wakka and Lulu's date, Tidus and Rikku's was quite different. Tidus had decided to take Rikku out for some ice cream but had been paying no attention to her considering something or should I say someone else had been on his mind.

What was up with me and looking at Yuna the way I did earlier? I never looked at someone like that before. Sure she is really pretty and all but should I really crush on her? I don't even know her. Tidus thought to himself.

"HEY TIDUS! I'm talking to you! Did you hear what I said?" Rikku said trying to get his attention.

Tidus pulled away from his thoughts and looked at Rikku. "Oh, sorry about that Rikku. I haven't exactly been myself lately." Tidus told her.

Rikku gave him a shifty eye look. "I think that Blitzball in practice earlier hit ya a little to hard." Rikku said.

"Oh that...well, Y—eah..." Tidus trailed off.

"I think I had enough ice cream for one night, Tidus." Rikku told him. Afterwards Tidus drove Rikku home.

Once Tidus had woken the next day, he saw Yuna standing there in his room crying. "Yuna?" He said. Tidus then stood up out of bed and walked over to her. Yuna wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I know I don't have a choice but I have to leave now. Leave for good, and I'm probably never gonna come back." Yuna told him.

"Yuna—" But he had been cut off when Yuna placed her index finger over his lips.

"I love you Tidus! You must understand that I have to go now." She told him.

"Yuna, don't go." Tidus said softly.

Yuna stepped back away from him. "I'm sorry Tidus."

"YUNA! DON'T GO!" Tidus shouted as he sat up straight on his bed. "It was...just a dream? How bizarre." Tidus said to himself. He then wiped the sleep out of his eyes and looked at his clock. "Holy shit! I'm gonna be late for school!" He shouted.

Tidus quickly got out of bed and got ready for school then headed off.

At school, Tidus spotted Wakka walking down he hall. "Wakka!" He shouted as he ran up to him. Wakka turned around.

"Hey Tidus. Something up, ya?" Wakka said to him.

"Listen! I gotta tell ya something really important!" He said to him.
