Hey people I'm back with chapter 2!

This is as you have most probably guessed from the chapter title, the part where Yuna sings 1000 words. Hope you enjoy!

"I just thought that I'd let you know
being near you is
a gift I only wish I could treasure"- Hoobastank-Let You Know


Yuna started at the red door of the airship in front of her, preparing to step out and meet the massive crowd that had gathered. As the door opened, a flash of lightening illuminated the whole crowd. Out of the corner of her eye Yuna saw Rikku give a slight shudder. She resisted the urge to giggle, although Rikku always told Yuna she was no longer afraid of lightening, that she had faced much more fearful things, Yuna could tell that she was lying. However when Yuna looked again at the audience that had gathered her hands began to tremble, yet somewhere inside she could feel confidence. Confident? Yuna was shaking with fear, this was definitely worse than facing fiends. So where was the confidence coming from? It was as if it was trapped somewhere, not quite reaching Yuna, yet she knew, she could feel it, it was there. Breaking herself away from her thoughts she looked from Rikku to Paine, who nodded at her. Taking a deep breath she walked forward.

As a hush washed over the crowd as Yuna spoke into her microphone.

"One thousand years ago, before the time of Sin... Spira was torn in two, divided by a terrible war. This was Spira's great mistake. Out of the rift left by this terrible conflict, Sin was born. In only two short years, Spira has shaken off its unhappy past. We have moved on. Now, Spira grows brighter with each passing day. That light is our strength. I don't want to see it fade. Do you? There are so many of us, each with different ideas and different beliefs. Of course we sometimes disagree, and arguments will happen. But our hearts can and should always be one. Believe with me: Even if we're torn apart, our feelings will unite us. That's what this song is about."

Yuna scanned the audience as music began to play. And, somehow, Yuna blocked out everything that was happening around her. She could no longer feel the rain, and no longer cared that she was singing in front of thousands of people. The only thing she cared about was the song. She lifted the mic to her mouth and began to sing.

"I know that you're hiding things
Using gentle words to shelter me
Your words were like a dream
But dreams could never fool me
Not that easily"

The crowd stared, mesmerized by the summoner's beautiful song. Not one person made a sound, all in awe, they had never know that Yuna could sing so well. No one noticed that the rain had ceased.

"I acted so distant then
Didn't say goodbye before you left
But I was listening
You'll fight your battles far from me
Far too easily"

What seemed like an electric current ran threw the sky, changing the scene of the dreary Thunder Plains to one that Yuna recognized. She couldn't say anything, she continued to sing, but in the back of her mind she could clearly recall the last time she had seen those buildings. It had been back on her pilgrimage, in Guadosalam, the first time she had seen Zanarkand.

" 'Save your tears, cause I'll come back'
I could hear that you whispered as you walked through that door
But still I swore
To hide the pain when I turn back the pages"

As Yuna sang she wasshocked to see pyreflyes burst from her songstress dress, just like they had on the Farplane. She watched them fly to the sky as she continued the song, and was amazed as a huge ball of energy gathered and spread.

"Shouting might have been the answer
What if I cried my eyes out and begged you not to depart
But now I'm not afraid to say
What's in my heart"

Light surrounded Yuna, and suddenly she was no longer singing. Her body was moving, but she could tell it was not her singing. Lenne. She knew it was Lenne. As if she had taken over her. But Yuna was glad. It allowed her to watch the scene in front of her. She could see Shuyin. And a massive machina that she hoped never to see again. Vegnagun.

"Cause a thousand word
Call out through the ages
They'll fly to you
Even though I can't see
I know they're reaching you
Suspended on silver wings"

She watched as Shuyin walked to Vegnagun, and activated it by playing what looked like a piano mounted on its head. She then say Lenne run and hold her arms up shouting something to Shuyin. He stopped and looked at her just as guards ran through the door towards them.

"Oh a thousand words
One thousand embraces
Will cradle you
Making all of your weary days seem far away
They'll hold you forever"

She watched a horrible scene unfold. She knew what would happen. Just like the dream she had had of her and Tidus, Lenne and Shuyin clung to each other, staring into each others eyes. And then came the gun shots. Yuna watched as the bullets hit the lovers, tearing them apart. And they fell to the floor.

Yuna took a step back, as if trying to retreat from the terrible sight, and realised that she had appeared beside Lenne. And she did what her heart told her to. She sang.

"Oh a thousand words
Have never been spoken
They'll fly to you
They'll carry you home and back into my arms
Suspended on silver wings

And a thousand words
Call out through the ages
They'll cradle you
Turning all of the lonely years to only days
They'll hold you forever"

As Lenne turned to light and faded the clouds in the Thunder Plains parted and the sun shone through for the first time in history.

"Oh a thousand words"

The song finished and Yuna looked to the sky. As tears poured from her eyes, she fell to the floor.


Yuna sat on the deck of the Celsius. Maechen had Yuna and the others the story of Lenne a while before. She couldn't stop thinking ofLenne and Shuyin. How they hadn't been able to tell each other how they felt. That they loved each other. She knew how that must have felt. She could imagine how it would have been if she hadn't told Tidus before he disappeared. She would have hated it, it would have been worse, knowing that she had never told him how she felt.

Tidus. She couldn't stop thinking about him. She didn't want to stop. One thing had been annoying her for ages. If the aeons had returned that meant the fayth were one again dreaming. So why hadn't he returned. Perhaps they were only dreaming the aeons, not Zanarkand. But couldn't they dream him, just him. For her. It was Yuna and Tidus and her other guardians that had destroyed Sin, that had ended their dreaming, so couldn't they dream Tidus. Just Tidus.

Obviously not.

She looked again to the sky. It was yet again raining in the Thunder Plains. Yuna didn't mind though, it matched her mood. Her damp hair clung to her skin and she hugged her arms close to her to keep warm.

She had decided earlier that she was definitely going to go and tell Shuyin how Lenne felt. She just hoped that he would still be on the Farplane and that she Rikku and Paine could find him…
