BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Tidus wakes up to his alarm.
"Ugh, can't I get some more sleep?" he says to himself. Then he gets up and walks into his kitchen, only to jump back, startled. He sees Auron standing there.
"Did you sleep well?" he asked.
"Don't you ever knock?"
"I was just here to make sure that you were awake. Don't forget about your big game tomorrow. I thought you might want to be practicing this morning. You probably should."
"Come on Auron, I don't need practice. I'm already one of the best players around." He then walked into the fridge and grabbed something to eat. He sat down at the table, his back facing Auron.
"That's the exact same attitude Jecht always had. He considered himself the best and assumed no one could beat him. And aren't you going to be polite and get me some food? I'm hungry too you know." Auron then sat himself opposite Tidus and took some of his food.
Tidus jumped up and grabbed Auron by the collar. Then said quietly, "Never compare me to my father, NEVER!" yelling his last word.
Auron didn't do anything of the attack, he just said, "As you wish." Tidus released his grip and went to get more food.
Tidus sat on his dock alone, tossing a blitzball around in his hands. He thought to himself of what Auron said. Auron was right, I did act like my father. I will never do that again. I just can't stand being compared to him. I guess it's unavoidable though, since everyone has compared me to him in blitzball as far as our skills go. But that's different. He was talking about my personality. But that will change. I will not become my father! Tidus stood up and dove into the water. The water was actually quite clean considering all of the machines in Zanarkand that could polute it. Then Tidus took Auron's advice and started practicing.
Later, Tidus went inside for lunch. He was quite hungry from all of his practicing. As soon as he finished, he went back out to the dock.
He just sat on the dock, humming a familiar song to him. He wasn't sure the name or where it came from though. He had no idea how much more often he would hear it in the future, however. After his relaxation, he went and practiced some more, as the big game was tomorrow night. He wanted to make sure he would be ready for it. After a few more hours of practice, he went back home and into a deep sleep
