Chapter 15

The seven of them aboard the top deck of the airship as Yuna began to perform her sending. Everyone watched as Jecht and the Aeons began to disappear, along with Sin.

Soon after, all the Prayer Children who had been awake al this time...finally turned to stone, once again in there eternal sleep.

Tidus watched Yuna finish her dance thinking what a relief it was that this was the last time she would ever have to do that dance again...but then he saw his hands...He was slowly blinking out of existence just like the Prayer Child had told him. And when their dream ends...so would he.

He then turned to his friends with fear in his eyes. He looked at Yuna. She was so afraid and shook her head trying to tell him that he couldn't leave. "No..."

"Yuna...I have to go." Tidus told her sadly, trying to tell her to accept the truth.

She shook her head again. Yuna didn't want him to leave.

"I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand."

Tidus started to walk towards the edge of the airship, but turned his head back one last time at Yuna and said, "Goodbye." He started walking to the edge of the airship away from his friends...away from Yuna. The one person he couldn't live without.

"Hey, wait!" Wakka called out to him.

"We're gonna see you again, right?" Rikku asked worriedly.

Yuna watched as he walked away from her. She couldn't bear to see him leave her, it was so painful and it hurt. But just then, Yuna couldn't take it any more. Tears escaped her eyes as she dashed forward to him.

"Yuna!" Kimahri shouted loudly.

Tidus turned around to see Yuna running towards him heartbroken. He then extended his arms to welcome her into his embrace, but she ran right through him, stumbling and falling to the ground falling painfully on her hip...But nothing was more painful then the hurt in her heart...

All the others stood there, gasping at what just happened.

Pyreflies began escaping Tidus' body as he stood there scared.

Yuna then lifted herself up and stood looking out into the distance rather then turning to look at Tidus...the man she couldn't keep from leaving her...

"I love you." Yuna softly mumbled.

Tidus then turned around and looked at her saddened in despair from her words. He then walked up behind her, carefully placing his arms around Yuna's shoulders. He knew that she couldn't feel him against her like they way she once could but he hoped that his fading image would somehow console her, knowing that what mattered was that he was there...even for the short time.

Yuna saw the arms wrap around her shoulders, but was not able to feel him against her skin that ached to be touched a last time...

"Whistle if you ever get lost..." He softly said to her.

Yuna closed her eyes and started to cry. Resting his head against the side of her face closing his eyes only for an instant before he opened them again.

"Always." Yuna softly replied. She opened her eyes and saw him walking through her body, nothing more then pyreflies and dreams as he ran off the edge of the airship, floating down to rejoin with the others who were dead...

A week had passes by, and today Yuna was to confront and comfort all of Spira with the inspired words of a summoner who against all odds had not only beaten Sin, but also Yu Yevon, ending the great spiral of death that had plagued Spira's people for so long.

That day Lulu had found Yuna standing on the docks, whistling her heart out like she had every morning since the fateful day when Tidus had left them all. Hoping with the love that he would follow her calling back to her arms...but every morning she cried when he did not come to her.

"Yuna...its time." Lulu said drawing Yuna from her whistling and back to a reality without Tidus.

It was heartbreaking to say the least, such a young pure hearted girl in the state she was in, whistling for her love to return, Lulu thought to herself. We were all surprised that day; never even knowing they were together.

Yuna turned to face Lulu, simply nodding but being able to speak for fear of the tears that would follow any words.

Standing on a balcony her guards by her side, Yuna spoke to the people of Spira. Her heart heavy with loss but light with hope...hope of a new life...a life without sorrow...without Sin...but without Tidus as well. She began her speech.

"...Everyone...everyone has lost something precious. Everyone has lost friends... families'... homes... and dreams. Everyone...Sin is finally defeated. Now Spira is ours again." Yuna said thinking to all the people she had lost but mostly her father and Tidus.

"Now we can rebuild new homes for ourselves...and new dreams. And I know the journey will be hard but we have lots of time. Together we will rebuild Spira." And from her words, erupted a great cheer that filled the entire stadium. Yuna waited her last words ready to be spoke to the people she had given up everything for.

"...Just one more thing. For the friends and family that we have lost...or the dreams that have faded..." Yuna said softly remembering all the times with Tidus. She then looked back out to the crowd and speaking louder again, "Never forget them."

Whistle

"Whistle? Where am I?"

Whistle

"Who is whistling to me? ...Yuna?"

"I thought you would wake soon." A voice came from behind Tidus. He then turned around.

"You." Tidus said.

"Do you recognize where you are?" The Prayer Child asked.

Tidus looked around but all he could see is black. Just then everything then began to take shape. The tall buildings, the lights, the Blitzball stadium. Yes, even the Zanarkand Abes.

"Zanarkand? But...it was all just a dream. You're dream." Tidus told him.

"That's right." The boy told him.

Tidus continued to watch as Sin came from the water and began destroying everything.

"Zanarkand was our dream." Tidus told him saddened.

"But as long as she continues to whistle...you...will no longer be dreamt." The boy told him.

"What?" Tidus asked.

"Not now." The Prayer Child told him. "Rest." Came the voice of Seymour.

Tidus then stood up. "I'm I...real or...just a dream?" He said to himself. "I want to go to Yuna. I...I want to tell her how I feel."

Everything then went back to total darkness and Tidus was now alone. "I want to see Yuna!!"

A white light then emerged in front of him and Tidus stepped through...Zanarkand...??
