Disclaimer: I wrote this story on another site with the pen name Cecilia but with different characters. I changed the characters of the real story to the ones of the Final Fantasy so that fans of Final Fantasy can read and enjoy it as much as those on the other site. Also, even though I own FFX, I barely know anything about the cities and stuff like that, so don't kill me for it.
Thank you to SavannahX, YuniexTiddie, ShalBrenfan, and kyritawuv for all your reviews. Thank You! I know...this is the ending of My Childhood Sweetheart...but trust me...I don't want it to end, too, but all good stories must come to an end. Not that my story is that good but you know what I mean. JUST REMEMBER! There is still anEPILOGUE and I must recommend EVERYBODY who have read this story to read the EPILOGUE or else you willREGRET it!
"You may now be dismissed," their music teacher announced.
"Yaayy!" everyone cheered and thundered out the door.
"Bye, everyone. I'm sure you'll miss me," the teacher said to the empty class.
A few hours later...(backstage)
"Oh, you look so adorable!" Yuna's mother cheerfully exclaimed as she looked at her daughter from top to bottom. Yuna was wearing the prince outfit that her mother made.
From outside Tidus' dressing room, Tidus' father called for him. "Tidus, come on out! Don't be shy."
"No, I won't!" Tidus called back. "It's too embarrassing!"
"Tidus, come out or you're going to get an F for English!" his English teacher called after coming up to the dressing room door.
The door gradually opened. Finally, Tidus was in total view. He was wearing the blue and yellow dress that was only seen on Snow White and he had on a short black wig with a red bow on his head. His face and skin were filled with white make up to cover up his tan nature.
"This stinks," Tidus mumbled. He took a step out the room and tripped flat on his face. "Argh! I hate these high heels!"
"Tidus, I'm so proud of you," Jecht said, helping Tidus up. Tidus fell again.
"I know you'll do great," his teacher encouraged.
"Wow, Tidus. You look just like a girl. I could barely even notice you," Yuna said sarcastically, as Tidus struggled to stand up once more.
"Very funny," Tidus said. "You don't look too bad either, Prince Yuna Lesca."
Flashback
Yesterday, after they had just told each other that they were childhood sweetheart…
Yuna's house…
"He can't be B!" Yuna told her mother. "He just can't be. B has short hair and he ALWAYS wears shorts."
"But, Honey, B could have changed in the pass ten years. Ten years is a long time."
"But B wouldn't have changed into an obnoxious boy like Tidus," Yuna argued, knowing that her mother was right.
"Yuna…I know may be hard to believe, but…B is Tidus."
"No! It can't be! I'm not going to believe it unless he gives me proof."
Tidus' house…
"No! I'm not going to believe it!" Tidus said to his father. "Yuna is not Daisy! Daisy has long beautiful hair and she ALWAYS wears pants."
"Tidus, I'm sure that Daisy could have changed. It has been a while and both of you have lived in different places."
"No, Yuna is not Daisy!" Tidus said, not admitting that it was true.
End of Flashback
"Okay, everyone!" their teacher chimed. "The star is finally out. We will now start the play."
There were many people in the audience. They were, of course, here to watch the must-see finale.
When everything was set and the audience settled down, the lights dimmed down until it was pitch black.
"Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess named Snow White…" the narrator started. One spot light appeared to reveal Tidus, sitting next to a fake pond on the stage.
The play was going well, just as planned, though, Tidus tripped here and there. Finally, it was time for the Prince to come.
"Then one day, a prince found a sleeping princess in the woods and walked up to her bed," the narrator said as Yuna made her appearance. Everyone applauded.
She unhurriedly walked up to the side of Snow White's golden bed, her back facing the backstage. There laid Tidus with his eyes closed, covered with flowers.
"The handsome prince saw that she was even more beautiful than the flowers around her golden bed," the narrator continued.
'Yeah, right,' they thought. 'More like an ugly cross dresser.'
"Then..."
This was Yuna's cue to bend down and kiss Tidus. The audience worked hard to stay firmly attached to their seats, but they couldn't. Tidus and Yuna…kiss? They were total enemies. The audience all stood up until the English teacher told the crowd to sit back down. They knew that this had to be the kiss of the century.
Inch by inch, Yuna knelt down.
'Hmmm...This is strange,' they thought. 'For some reason, I don't feel as uncomfortable as I was with Wakka/Rikku. This feels RIGHT?'
Yuna then leaned over, closed her eyes, and gently placed her lips on his. They had finally shared a kissed. It wasn't a sudden kiss, though. It was a nice and passionate kiss. There was a big gasp from the audience, followed by applause. They opened and gazed into each other's eyes as Yuna backed away.
"Snow White has finally awakened!" the narrator announced.
The narrator continued talking and it was Yuna's cue to carry Tidus off the stage, but they weren't listening.
"It's you," Tidus said to Yuna. "And it's your eyes. I've never looked straight into them this year. But now that I have, I know it's you…Daisy."
"And it's you," Yuna said. "You're B." Tidus got up and hugged her. "Oh, I missed you so much, Daisy ... er ... Yuna ... uh ... whatever."
"Me too, B...um...Tidus," Yuna said, giggling to cover up the tears that were coming down from her cheeks.
"Aaaawwwwwwwwww!" the audience said.
Then Yuna and Tidus moved back to look at each other once more.
"And all along, you were right in front of my eyes," Tidus said, wiping her tears.
"I know." Yuna laughed. "And we hated each other and we kept arguing. I can't believe that happened."
Tidus laughed, too, and pushed back a strand of hair from her face. "I wonder…Why did you cut your long silky hair and why did you keep on wearing dresses?"
"Because when we were younger, you said that I looked good with them. I thought about those words so much so I had to do something about it."
"You silly. I was only kidding."
"I was also kidding about you with long hair and pants," Yuna said.
"And I fell for it."
"Hey, Tidus…How come I never saw you wearing the watch that I gave you?" Yuna asked.
"I always kept it in my pocket so the watch won't get worn off." He replied. "How come you never wear the necklace that I gave you?"
"I do," she answered and pulled out the necklace from under her outfit. "I just kept it as close to my heart as possible."
"Oh, Yuna." Tidus embraced Yuna again. "I'm sorry I told you all those mean comments this year."
"It's okay. As long as we have each other now." They both smiled.
As Tidus had her in his arms, Yuna looked out into the audience. She noticed a very familiar boy standing up in the very back of the multi-use room all alone. It was dark so it was hard for Yuna to see. When she finally adjusted her eyes to the darkness, she knew what the boy was doing. He was taking out a gun and aiming it toward…Tidus' back! Finally she remembered who the boy was.
"Tidus, watch out!" she shouted. "The same boy from the gang who hit you unconscious is going to shoot you!"
Without thinking, Yuna jumped over the bed and stood in front of Tidus. The gunshot rang and she closed her eyes tightly. It was silent.
'Am I dead?' she wondered. She opened her eyes slowly and looked down.
"Tidus? Tidus! N-no-nooooooooooooo!" Yuna burst into tears. Tidus was on the ground, blood all over his chest. "Get that boy!" Yuna cried out angrily, pointing to the young man in the back. The teachers got him and the gun before he ran any further.
"Tidus, Tidus." Yuna knelt down and supported his head up with her left arm.
"Somebody, call the ambulance!" she shouted to the audience as the crowd was moving about.
"I'll call!" somebody shouted back.
Yuna turned back to Tidus. "Tidus, can you hear me?"
"So you were the one who helped me from that gang back there," Tidus said weakly.
Yuna nodded sadly.
"And you used martial arts to get 'em?"
Yuna nodded again.
"I'm so proud of you." Tidus said. There was a pause between them. "Yuna, I'm so glad that I met you. When we were young and now again."
"Tidus, don't say that. The ambulance is coming soon. You're going to be all right." She placed her hand on his chest where it was bleeding.
"Here, Yuna," Tidus said softly as he slowly moved his hand to a pocket on his dress. He took out the watch and handed it over to her.
"There were no pockets in the dress so I made one in the dressing room. That way, I could put this watch in. Now…it's yours."
"Tidus, no, I can't. It's yours."
"No, you keep it. I want you to have it."
"Oh…kay." Yuna wiped her tears but they kept on flowing down. "Why did you protect me?"
"Hey, I'm your big brother." He smiled. "I'm supposed to protect you."
"No, you're not. You're my fiancé."
He smiled again. His eyes started drooping. "I guess...I guess destiny did bring us together again…huh?"
Yuna kept crying. Tidus knew that it was almost time.
"Yuna, can you do me a favor?" He placed his right hand on her face and she placed her hand on his.
"Yes, anything." She sniffled.
"Just move on...and just...and just keep believing in destiny."
"That was two favors, idiot." She kissed him, her hand still on his. When she backed away, she saw that he still had a smile on his face.
"I can't believe that I'm going to say this during this year, but…I love you…Yuna."
"I love you, too, Tidus," she cried back.
After hearing that, Tidus' hand dropped from her face. Tidus closed his eyes. "I love you," he said softly.
"Tidus, no…no…nooo!" Her tears came pouring down. She hugged him. "Noo! Don't do this to me, Tidus! Don't! We just found each other again! Don't do this to me!"
Then she looked at him.
"I will move on, Tidus," she whispered. "I will keep on believing in destiny. Just for you. We will meet agian, Tidus. We're destined."
THE END
That's the end but there is still an EPILOGUE left. Please stay tuned and please tell me how you feel!
