Thanks PureHikari for the review,

Hi it's Faith with another instalment, enjoy reading. Oh so you won't get confuse Tidus comes from this Spira not from the old Zanarkand, okay. -

Chapter 2 Falling for the first time

"Hay, rise and shine sleepy head," said Wakka cheerfully opening up the huge curtains to let the early morning light in.

"I'm awake, I'm awake" said Yuna still only half asleep.

"Hurry up if you want to see us trainin', we bought a new guy at the docks this mornin', showing off some of his skills he was, he as good as anyone I've seen, said he belonged to a small team that never made the finals and that he left that team cos it was breaking up or sumart, I guess you'd like him he's your age. Quite ambitious and seems to have a strong will. Well better be off, if your comin' hurry up" he left as soon as he finished his sentence, not really giving Yuna enough time to ask any questions.

'A new guy, sounds a bit up himself, but I love to see the Aurochs play'

And with that she quickly got dressed and raced down the stairs, stopping only to walk properly past the Maestors at which she bowed and so did they.

Out in the open air the sun beamed down on her. She noticed that the sphere had already been filled with the water it gleamed a beautiful blue colour. The vast stadium stood silent, waiting for the matches to commence tomorrow.

"Hay Yunie" a voice shouted

"Rikku?" She turned quickly round to see her cousin running at full pace towards her.

"Rikku I've not seen you in ages" she gave a short hug to her cousin

"I know, Wakka said that I could join his team," Rikku said jumping on the spot.

"You know that they have a new guy already," Said Yuna quietly hoping not to disappoint her.

"Yea Wakka came up to me a few minutes ago and told me, but I'm still on the team he said"

"Have you met him yet?" asked Yuna

"What the new guy? Na, not had chance, I've heard that he's hot." Said Rikku giggling to herself. "Look here they come"

Yuna turned round noticing that the new guy was walking out at the side of Wakka. "No way," said Rikku

"What?"

"I can't believe it, it's Tidus," said Rikku waving madly at them

"You know him?" asked Yuna

"Yea, he worked on our ship when we went scavenging, said he needed money, so we let him help out," Yuna turned back and waved with Rikku to the team,

' Well he's good looking I give him that' Yuna thought to herself.

===

Wakka waved up to the two young ladies standing on the edge of one of the platforms.

"Brudda, you see them two girls wavin' at us the blond ones Rikku, shes also a newbe to the team, and the others Yuna, Lord Braska's daughter, and my little sis"

"Didn't know you had a sis" said Tidus

"Well she not genetically my sis, but I've known her for so long"

Tidus followed Wakka's gaze, and was first stunned by the fact that he'd worked and fought by the side of Rikku.

"What is it man" asked Wakka

"I've met Rikku before, didn't know she played Blitzball" he did not take his eyes of Yuna

"Ohh" Wakka replied, chuckling to himself "well then you two will get along,"

Still when Wakka was talking to him did he not let his eyes give waver, he was hypnotised by Yuna, through his eyes he had not seen anything as beautiful in his life.

"Brudda" said Wakka noticing Tidus's facial expression, "don't even go there"

Tidus finally let his gaze drop.

===

"I think someone likes you," said Rikku also noticing Tidus's facial expressions.

"Rikku, don't even joke" said Yuna bringing down her hand and then propping herself against the rail.

"Who said I was joking"

===

"So if Rikku's on our team isn't she ment to be practising with us?" questioned Tidus

"Ohh yea, I've got so use to letting her watch us, it'll be hard to remember tha shes on our team" said Wakka laughing "Hay Rikku, get your butt down here and get practisin'" Wakka shouted at the top of his voice.

===

"Ooops, totally forgot," said Rikku innocently "well talk to you later Yunie"

"Bye" said Yuna laughing out loud.

= The team entered the sphere, with Rikku lagging behind. 'The practice was amazing' thought Yuna 'They're going to win for sure' Everyone was impressed by Tidus skill and agility

= "We're gonna win the cup this year ya" said Wakka to Tidus

Tidus nodded back, "Well lets see how good you are" said Wakka

He threw the ball up and out of he sphere Tidus swam up after it, he left the water with such grace and speed it was breath taking, and as he rose through the air he did a back flip, kicking the ball straight back into play and passed everyone and straight into the back of the net.
He was not really bother that he had scored as soon as he kicked the ball, time had slowed down it even felt like it had stopped, he was floating upside down staring at Yuna, he saw her smile at him, and he felt a rush of energy, he noticed her eyes were different colours but he thought how beautiful they looked in the midday sun. 'I will win this tournament for you' he said to himself. Then time started up again, he dived gracefully back into the water. Everyone swam up to him and cheered they had got a new lease of energy and now felt that they were going to win the finals tomorrow.

===

As time had stopped for Tidus it had also stopped for Yuna, she felt that she had to smile at him because of the sensation she was feeling inside, she had never felt it before and did not know what it was, but it was great.

When time had started again. The team swam around Tidus she could no longer see him. She quickly backed away from the rail, hoping that noone would see the smile she had just gave Tidus, for now she new what the feeling was, it was love. But she can't be in love she has just accepted a proposal.

A sudden tap on her shoulder made her jump a mile into the air, she quickly turned round.

"Sorry for frightening you, but the Maestor Seymour wants a word with you." Said Lulu, calmly

"Do you know what about?" Yuna asked

"No sorry, he's waiting for you in the hall, would you like me to come with you?" she asked kindly

"No, I'll be alright." Yuna left quickly without a backwards glance, she could not fall in love not now.

====

The team separated to let Tidus breath, he glanced up at the rail where Yuna was stood, and she had gone, leaving a very tall slim female who wore a grey dress crisscrossed with belt buckles. He felt disappointed, at not being able to see her face. 'What was that feeling I felt?' he thought to himself.

End of chapter 2 Poor them, well Tidus is a bit slow sorry bout that, but I've found that most lads are slow when it comes to realising their feelings. Keep reading Faith xxx
