The night was silent and everyone in the village had settled down except for Yuna. The thought of Tidus still encircled her brain as she layed on her bed. The only light in her tent was the fire from the few candles she had lit.

Yuna shifted to her side and brought her knees up closer to her chest. It was pretty cold and curling up usually kept her warm despite the fact that she had a blanket over her. She stared at the candles beside her bed. The fire danced wildly over the waxy substance.

She had thought about telling Rikku and Lulu, but she didn't want their sympathy. She didn't want them to feel sorry for her. She closed her eyes, the thoughts still running through her mind. Seymour couldn't be telling the truth. Tidus can't be dead. This is all screwed up. She opened her eyes and found herself staring at the small flames once again.

"Why did everything have to turn out like this?" she thought. "Why do I feel so alone."

There was nothing Rikku or Lulu could do to make her feel better. To make it all go away. The flames continued dancing wildly back and forth, hypnotizing her. In an instant she began to feel drowsy. She blinked a couple of times, trying to block out the drowsiness. She couldn't sleep. All she could think about was Tidus. She had been longing to see him and now, she would never see him again. She hated that she wasn't there for him. That she hadn't been by his side.

Tears dampened her cheeks but she wiped them away. She closed her eyes once again. The pain was to much to handle. She cried so much that she was afraid Rikku or Lulu would hear her.

"Nothing would ever be the same without him," she thought.

With that in mind, Yuna finally feel fast asleep.

"Yuna..."

Through the peace and quiet, Yuna could hear someone calling her name.

"Yuna..."

"Was it a dream? Was someone really calling her?" she had to find out.

Yuna's eyes shot open and she quickly sat up. She heard a strange noise right outside of her tent and she knew she wasn't dreaming. She swung her legs around, letting them dangle off of the bed. She stared at the opening across from her bed. Someone was out there. Thats when she felt it. The strange feeling that she was being watched. She listened closely, hoping that she was wrong. Hoping that she didn't have a stalker. She suddenly jumped up when she heard the sound of branches cracking.She slowly stood up, her bare feet touching the carpet-like material on the floor.

"Hello?" she called out , afraid to find out who was out there.

She had the sudden urge to run to Rikku's tent. To tell her that someone was out there. She slowly walked toward the opening. Yuna's skin tingled as the wind pushed through the opening and brushed against her body. Chills creeped down her back as she got closer. She began to breathe heavily. She was afraid to go outside, but she had to find out who was out there.

She finally reached the front of her tent, calling out as she got there.

"Hello?"

No Answer.

She scanned the village from where she stood although it was rather dark. She took a few more steps, stopping when she heard the noise again.

"Who's there," she called out, as she scanned the area to see if she spotted anyone.

She began to take another step, not aware that the person she was looking for was right behind her. Before she could take another step he grabbed her shoulder, Yuna's heart immediately skipping a beat. In an instant, she began to panic. She opened her mouth to scream but before she could, the man spun her around, putting his hand over her mouth.

"Shhhh," he whispered, putting a finger over his lips to signal for silence.

"Don't scream," he began. "Its me...Tidus."

Yuna's eyes widened in amazement. He was here. He wasn't dead. It was all a lie. Everything Seymour had told her was a lie.

Tidus finally pulled his hand away from her mouth, her eyes still stuck on him. She was speechless. All this time she had longed to see him and now, he was right in front of her. He had come back for her just as Rikku had told her he would.

She finally took a step toward him, immediately wrapping her arms around him.

"Oh Tidus. Thank Yevon your okay," she began. "Seymour came earlier. He told me you were dead and..."

"Its okay Yuna...I'm here now," Tidus declared.

She closed her eyes, happy that she was wrapped in his embrace. She felt much better now that he was there with her. But it wasn't over. Tidus had yet to tell her about Seymour's plan to keep them apart. Tidus' presence would only make things worst.
