Chapter 8

Tidus and Yuna walked into the 'SPIRIT' a trendy little restaurant in central Zanerkand. Yuna grinned ear to ear at how beautiful this restaurant was, it had golden chandeliers lit with brightly burning candles on a high ceiling that was painted in the most wonderful way, it had the Zanerkand sunset on it with some pyreflies circling around the sun.

Tidus took Yuna's hand and led her to the large oak counter. As they neared it Yuna could see the man at the counter smiling at them. He held his hand out and Tidus shook it vigorously.

"Oaka, how you doin' man". Tidus said still shaking Oaka's hand.

"I'm not doing to bad mate. Yourself?" He asked back

"I'm doing very well thanks" Tidus replied kissing Yuna on the cheek. She smiled up at him.

"And who is this beautiful young woman" Oaka inquired smiling at Yuna. Tidus turned to Yuna and put his arm around her.

"This is Yuna, Yuna this is Oaka we are friends from high school". He said introducing them to each other. Yuna shook Oaka's hand.

"It's very nice to meet you Oaka". She added

"Very nice to meet you to me lady, you're a lucky woman, this guy ere is a diamond". He winked towards Tidus. Yuna smiled and looked up into Tidus' eyes.

"I do know how lucky I am". She leaned up and gave him a quick peck on the lips. Tidus smiled down at her, they both stood there staring into each other's eyes, until they heard Oaka clear his throat.

"Ahem, well what can I do for you two love birds then". Oaka asked looking at them expectantly. Tidus and Yuna jumped as if they had forgotten that they were in public.

"Oh, sorry, um, yeah, can I have my usual table please" Tidus said handing Oaka some gil and winking one eye at him, which Yuna did not notice. Oaka accepted it greedily and jammed it into his jacket pocket. He then led them down a hallway and up some stairs, which Yuna found very strange since they had just been in the restaurant area. As they moved along the corridor Yuna squeezed Tidus' hand. He looked her and could see she looked nervous. He lowered his head to her ear.

"Hey, it's okay, it's a surprise, we can trust Oaka", he kissed her cheek and smiled at her, she smiled back feeling reassured. Just when Yuna was about to ask what the surprise was, Oaka came to a stop at a door; he opened it to show just what the surprise was. Tidus led Yuna out onto the roof, which was lit by hundreds of candles scattered about the ledges and shelves. In the middle of it all was I dining table also lit by candles and decorated with roses with gold plated cutlery and plates, diamond wine glasses and champagne. All Yuna could do was stand there with her mouth wide open, staring at how beautiful it all looked. Tidus took her arm and led her to a seat, holding it out for her to sit down. She sat down slowly still a little dazed from everything. Tidus sat down at the other side of the table. Oaka hurried over to Tidus.

"Will you be needing anything else mate" Tidus tore his eyes from Yuna and looked at Oaka.

"No, that's okay thanks" he replied, with a courteous nod. Oaka walk out of the door and shut it behind him. Tidus then turned back to Yuna and smiled. "So what do you think of it" he asked waiting hopefully.

She smiled at him peacefully. "It's wonderful, thank you, in fact I think I love you even more, if that's even possible." They giggled at her comment.

"Glad to here it", Tidus, replied happily, he rubbed his hands together, "Well let's eat." They both lifted the metal lid off of their plates, to find to Yuna's surprise that they had bangers and mash.

"Hey, this is my favourite food, how did you remember that", she asked looking at him in surprise.

"Well you ordered it on our first date, how could I forget". He replied as if it was obvious. Yuna felt a warm glow inside of her heart; she had never loved like this in her entire life, and to have someone reply with the same amount of love.

After they had finished eating, Tidus lent across the table and gently took Yuna's hands in his. He looked into her eyes, for a moment and then began to speak.

"Yuna, you know I love you write?" he asked with a gulp. Yuna looked a little worried.

"Of course I do, I love you too, but what just suddenly brought this on", she softly asked him.

"It's just that I'll be going to war next week and I need to do something before I go". He stopped and looked at her. She gently stroked his hand to urge him on. "Well the thing is, you're the best thing that has ever happened to me and…" he pulled a small box out of his pocket, then opened it so Yuna could see what it was. She gasped. Inside held a small diamond ring with a bright blue diamond on it. "Will you marry me?"

"Oh, Tidus I don't know what to say". She said with her hand shaking.

"Then say yes", he said excitedly, holding the ring up.

"Yes" she replied with tears streaming down her face and holding her hand out for him. He slipped it on gently; it fitted perfectly. He moved around to her and they kissed passionately. He pulled back and looked into her eyes and sighed in piece. He then ducked under the table and did something that Yuna could not see. When he popped back up, music was playing into the air. He stood up and held his hand out to her.

"Can I have this dance"? Tidus asked with a small smile. Yuna smiled back and took his hand. He helped her up, out of her seat. She raped her arms around his neck; he raped his arms around her waste. They rocked gently to the music that would soon become their song.

SONG

Dear my love, haven't you wanted to be with me
and, dear my love, haven't you longed to be free
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
and at sweet night you are my own
take my hand...

we're leaving here tonight
there's no need to tell anyone
they'd only hold us down
so by the morning's light
we'll be half way to anywhere
where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
no one knows who we are there
all I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long, I cannot dream anymore
let's run away...I'll take you there

we're leaving here tonight
there's no need to tell anyone
they'd only hold us down
so by the morning's light
we'll be half way to anywhere
where no one needs a reason

forget this life
come with me
don't look back, you're safe now
unlock your heart
drop your guard
no one's left to stop you now

we're leaving here tonight
there's no need to tell anyone
they'd only hold us down
so by the morning's light
we'll be half way to anywhere
where love is more than just your name.

(I think you all know what happens later that… twice)
