Chapter 10

"Good morning students! As you all know, our grade 12 English classes will be performing a play tonight at 8:00 in the auditorium. Everyone is welcome to come. At the end of the day everyone will be receiving their report cards and then will be entering our final week of school and prom for the grade 12's. That is all the announcements have a good day." Principal Jecht announced over the P.A. system.

The grade 12's spent the entire morning preparing the stage so there was no time in rehearsing. Just as they finished, Tidus looked over at Dona. She caught his glance and smiled. Did she really ask Graav not to perform? When he looked over at Graav who was talking to Yuna, he seemed okay and happy so Tidus didn't have the slightest clue if Graav wasn't going to perform.

When no one was paying attention and was busy working on the set, Graav was knocked off the stage and fell on the edge of a piano then continued to fall roughly on the hard ground. When everyone heard his scream, they all looked up then raced over to him.

As everyone began to crowd him, Professor Seymour pushed his way through to get to him. Once he did, He quickly kneed down beside him and helped him up but he cried in pain. "I twisted my arm and hit my head." Graav told him.

Professor Seymour took out a handkerchief out from his pocket and wiped some blood off his forehead. "You cannot perform tonight. We got to get you a doctor." Seymour told him.

"I'll be fine." He said just before he cried in pain once more.

"He's not okay!!" Shelinda wined.

"Do we have to cancel the performance?" A student asked.

"No. You can't cancel the performance." Graav told everyone.

"But how can you play in your condition?" Professor Seymour asked.

"I have an idea. Tidus. He will take my place." Graav said.

"Well he is the understudy after all." A student pointed out. Professor Seymour looked at Tidus.

"Tidus, can you fill in for Graav for tonight?" He asked.

Tidus nodded with a smile.

"Good. Now someone help me with Graav." Soon after, Seymour and a couple of students helped Graav up and into the nurse's office where he was treated. When Tidus looked over at Yuna, she was quite surprised by Graav's replacement to perform the Prince and looked kinda sad. The bell rang soon after and everyone was heading into the cafeteria for lunch.

Lulu, Wakka, Tidus, Rikku and Bickson were all once again eating at the same table that day. Yuna was late and there was no sign of her anywhere in the cafeteria.

"Wonder what's holding up Yuna today?" Wakka asked.

"Who knows. She is always off somewhere." Rikku said.

"Wonder what's up with her? She hasn't really been herself lately." Tidus mentioned.

"What!? What makes you think that?" Rikku asked nervously.

"C'mon Rikku. I'm not the only one who thinks it." Replied Tidus.

"Now that you mention it, she has been acting weird for a couple of days now." Wakka said.

"I agree too." Lulu said.

"C'mon guys! This is Yuna were talking about! Sweet little innocent Yuna!" Rikku told everyone. No one replied. Just as their conversation ended, Yuna had entered the cafeteria heading for their table when Issaru walked up to her. Tidus and the others watched them as they talked.

Yuna handed him something then Issaru became angry and stormed off. Yuna took a deep breath then continued to walk until she finally made it to Tidus' table and sat down beside Tidus and Rikku.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late." Yuna told them.

"Its ok. Are you okay Yuna?" Wakka asked.

"I'm fine." She replied then began to eat her sandwich. Everyone looked at her and became suspicious. Yuna looked up at everyone. "What!?" Yuna asked confused.

"Yunie, just wondering but...did you break it off with Issaru?" Rikku asked. Yuna nodded.

"Break it off? What the hell is that suppose to mean?" Bickson asked. Yuna became nervous.

"Well...uh...well you see...umm." Yuna choked.

The bell then rang and Rikku quickly got up out of her seat and walked over to Yuna. "Yunie had had a long day. She can talk later. So now we're gonna go now. Later guys." Rikku said pulling Yuna out of her chair and walking off with her.

"She is definitely hiding something." Lulu told everyone as they all stood up and began to walk away.

"Hiding something, yes. But what?" Wakka asked. Everyone shrugged.

The day rolled by quickly and Tidus was now in his final class of the day. His Al Bhed class. Tidus sat in the front of the class beside Shelinda as the teacher came in. "Say Shelinda, how is Graav?" Asked Tidus.

"He went home early. Looks like he'll be fine." Shelinda replied. Tidus smiled.

"Good afternoon class. I would like everyone come up one by one and hand in your Al Bhed speech then you'll receive your report card." He announced.

So one by one everyone came up and handed in their homework then received their report card. Tidus briefly looked at his then calculated his average mark.

"92. Yes! I passed!" Tidus said. Shelinda smiled at him.

"I got 96.5" Shelinda said excitedly.

Just as everyone got a good look at their report cards, the final bell of the day rang. The students gathered their books then headed out of the classroom. Since Tidus needed a little bit more practice for the play, he decided to return home early and rehearse.

7:00. He only had a bit more time before he would head back to the school. Tidus took a quick shower, gelled his hair a bit and put some clean clothes on before he walked down the stairs and approached his father.

"So um...are you coming to watch the play?" Tidus asked.

"That depends if you're going to give up blitzball." Jecht told him.

Tidus pouted. "Look, I told you that I'm still thinking about it. We put a lot of work in this play so can you just come?" Tidus asked. Jecht smiled.

"Well...no. I'm not going to come watch." Jecht told him stubbornly.

"Fine." Tidus simply said then left the house, heading for the school down the block. Jecht plopped down on the sofa and took a deep breath.

Upon arriving at the school, they all met in the English homeroom. Tidus went to the washroom and changed into his costume. It seemed to fit quite well. Tidus left the washroom and headed back into the homeroom.

"Okay class. Were on in 5 minutes. Are all the actors here?" Seymour asked. Everyone nodded. "Good. Good luck out there and have fun!" Seymour said.

Wakka, Lulu and Bickson sat in the audience since they weren't in the play. They were expecting a good performance that night. Cid also came with a video camera so he can tape the performance for Braska since he was in Zanarkand and couldn't attend.

Professor Seymour walked onto the stage. "Thank you all for coming tonight. Our grade 12 class has put a lot of work into tonight's performance so I hope you all enjoy it tonight." He told them. Seymour then stepped off and the play commenced.

The stage lights came on, as the 1st scene was a ball. Most students paired up and began to dance to the soft classical music that was playing. All were wearing a mask and was dancing lovely. As they continued to dance, Yuna, Shelinda and Rikku came onto the stage. Yuna was then seated on the royal throne as the others kneed down beside her.

"This war for the secret Magic Stone has been time-consuming and tough. You must be awfully tired so we arranged this ball for you." Shelinda said to Yuna.

"Everyone is masked at this ball. Lets all enjoy ourselves tonight." Rikku then said.

Yuna looked at both of them then said, "Thank you both but I fear I cannot dance."

"You should dance with the prince. You'll learn quickly from him." Shelinda told her. Rikku then helped Yuna out of her throne. Yuna walked towards the middle of the stage then near the edge, facing the audience.

"I cannot...I cannot dance with an unknown person. I'm worrying about the magic stone. What if my enemy finds it? I wish to stop the war." Yuna said then sighed looking down at the floor.

"Your right." Said a voice from behind her. The person walked up to her. It was Tidus, playing the prince. "I too want the war to end." Tidus told her.

"Who...are you?" Asked Yuna.

"I am restricted to tell you my name." He told her.

"Your right. Forgive me but this is my first Ball." She told him.

"Mine too. I'm busy day by day I forget how to dance. My father forced me to come here." He told her.

"Me too!" Yuna said exactly.

"Looks like we're the same." Tidus then stretched out his arm to her. "May I dance with you?" Yuna's eyes lit up with excitement as she took his hand and made their way to the middle of the stage.

All the other dancers had left the stage by this time so it was just Tidus and Yuna there, dancing to the soft lullaby of the music. They danced, gazing into each other's eyes, not wanting to leave the moment of them together on the stage.

Later that night

Tidus and Yuan stood on a balcony alone after the Ball had finished where they began to talk to each other.

"So…you're the prince of my enemy?" Yuna said saddened.

"Princess, please forgive me."

Yuna then began to cry. "But..."

"Princess, please don't cry. Your smile is most lovely. No more sadness. Forgive me but I cannot control my feelings for you. I love you...Ever since we first met." Tidus told her.

Yuna looked up at him. "I...I…I love you too." Yuna forced herself to say. Tidus moved in closer to her and wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.

As the kiss continued, the curtains then came down and the audience stood up and cheering and clapping. Wakka, who was in the audience, began to cry. "That...that was so beautiful." He said, lulu and Bickson rolled their eyes and continued to clap.

The performance was done perfectly. Seymour was so proud of everyone involved. After Tidus and Yuna had pulled away from their kiss, they continued to stand there holding each other and they continued to gaze into each other's eyes.

The rest of the cast then came on the stage once more where Tidus and Yuna stood as the curtains opened once more and they all took a bow. The crowd continued to cheer, clap and whistle at the performance. Everyone smiled in excitement. Seymour came onto the stage and thanked everyone for coming.

After the performance was finished, people began to go home. Wakka and Lulu entered the English homeroom where everyone was changing and cleaning up.

"That was excellent!! I loved it!" Wakka said to Tidus as he hugged him.

"Eh...thanks man." Tidus said embarrassed. Lulu and Bickson laughed. As he dropped Tidus back down, he looked around. "Does anyone know where Yuna is?" Tidus asked.

"I think she is out in the hall with Rikku." Bickson told him.

Tidus then made his way out of the homeroom and into the hallway where Yuna and Rikku were. "C'mon Yunie! Admit it! You so enjoyed that kiss with Tidus!"

"Rikku..."

"Admit it!" Rikku shouted.

"Okay fine! I admit it! I enjoyed the kiss. Happy now?" Yuna asked.

"Yepperz!!" Rikku excitedly said. Yuna rolled her eyes. Tidus then approached them.

"Hey girls. Great performance, eh?" Tidus asked.

"Super! That play rocked! Now I can't wait until our prom on Wednesday!" Rikku said as she bounced off and back into the homeroom.

Tidus and Yuna stood there. "So um...I was wondering. Earlier today in the cafeteria. Did you break up with Issaru?" Asked Tidus.

Yuna's face flushed. "Its that obvious, isn't it?"

"Just a bit."

Yuna giggled. "Yeah we broke up. Like what is the point anyways, I'm leaving next week."

"True." Tidus said.

Silence.

"It's too bad that you're leaving. Everyone is going to miss you." He told her.

"I know. So I heard your giving up blitzball?"

"I'm still thinking about it."

"Oh. I think you shouldn't give it up. You're really good. And who knows, maybe you can come to Zanarkand one day and play. We have a big stadium there." Yuna told him.

"I bet Wakka would like that." Both laughed.

"So Yuna, since you and Issaru are broken up, who are you going to the prom with?" Asked Tidus. "Oh…well um...no one." She shyly said.

"Oh, well I wondering maybe we can go together then?" Tidus asked nervously.

Yuna looked up at him and began to cry. "I can't. I just can't go with you Tidus." She said then ran off, leaving the school.

Tidus stood there confused. He had no idea what was going on and needed to find out.
