Hello everyone out there in cyber space. Sorry this chapter is so late, but I've been swamped with schoolwork and writers block ever since I submitted the last chapter.

Tidus: What school work? You haven't had an-

Veronia: -covers up Tidus's mouth- Well of course I've had a lot of work to do that 's the only reason I wouldn't submit a chapter on time.

T: -pulls himself free- But since when do you do your wo-

V: Be quiet! -tackled Tidus to the ground- It's true! don't believe a word he says I had work to do! I wasn't slacking off!

T: -gets partly free- Can we at least get on with the next chapter?

V: -Jumps up- Oh yes! This is Chapter 5... uh... it's more of a comical relief chapter because things were getting too sappy for my liking.

T: (whispers) You can say that again

V: -looks over to Tidus- What was that?

T: -tries to look innocent- Nothing.

V: Well... Alright then. -looks back over to the audience- legal writings! I do not own anything at all from FFX. GRRRR! I hate having to say that every time!

T: Enjoy.

Chapter 5: Clean Up

Zen walked down the hall alone. The game was over and the Abes had lost the game, 5 to 6. He was not looking forward to meeting the rest of the team. Maybe he would go see how Tidus was doing. Yeah, that's what he was going to do. He turned around and headed for the medical ward.
He traveled down several halls and turned a corner onto one where an old, white haired janitor was mopping the floor. Zen saw a slight smile on the janitor's face, behind his white whiskers. He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Tidus running towards him.
"Zen! Hey Zen!" Tidus called as he ran down the hall.
"Hey, watch out!" The janitor called out. "The floor is-" CRASH "- wet." Tidus slipped on the freshly mopped floor and crashed into the wall a few feet away.
"Hey, careful." Zen said as Tidus scrambled back onto his feet. "You want to hurt yourself even more?"
"Zen! Zen! I found her!" Tidus was jumping all around. "I found her!"
"Found who?" Zen was moving back and fourth, trying to dodge Tidus as he jumped about.
"Yuna! She's here! I found her!"
"What are you talking about?" Zen was even more confused. "You mean that dream girl you were talking about earlier?"
"She's not a dream. She's real."
"What?" Zen was having a hard time believing this.
"She's real Zen. She's really real."
"Whatever you say." Zen said, thinking that Tidus had hit his head harder then he thought. "I'm just glad that you're alright. Come on. We've got to get back to the rest of the team." Zen started back the way he had come. "But be warned. We lost the game and the team's a little bitter because of it."
Tidus wasn't really listening. He was still jumping around and laughing. He ran up to Zen and jumped onto his back.
"Hey, get off of me." Zen staggered around as he tried to get Tidus off.
Tidus heard the annoyance in Zen's voice and quickly jumped off. "Sorry."
"S'okay." Zen said. "Come on. The team's probable waiting for us." Zen started back down the hall, and the grin returned to Tidus's face.
Zen stood in front of the locker room door, preparing to dodge anything that could be thrown at him. Tidus paced right behind him with newfound energy. Zen opened the door slowly, and, luckily, nothing was thrown. But as soon as he entered he saw the rest of the Abes sprawled about on benches.

Tidus burst into the room with a large grin plastered onto his face and still laughing.

"What are you so happy about?" The female blitzer asked bitterly as she sat up and looked at him. "We lost the game."

This fact didn't even seem to phase Tidus, and the grin remained on his face. Although, he did try to suppress his laughter. All he could think about was getting back home so he would have the chance to see her again. Zen looked over to him and saw his edginess.

"You know, no one's keeping you here." He said. "You can leave any time you want."

Tidus immediately jumped up and bolted out of the door. He rushed down the halls and slipped through the crowds of people to get home as quickly as possible. He ran straight to the door, since all of his fans hadn't found out that he had left the blitzball stadium, and moved inside.

He scanned the house to see if she was already there, but she was nowhere to be found. He sighed loudly and knew that he was just going to have to wait. He walked to the center of the room and dropped down into one of the red couches that curved partly around a table. Only to get back up onto his feet a moment later. He had too much energy and no way to spent it.

He moved back to the center of the room, and moved in a slow circle to scan his surroundings. It was then that he noticed what a dump his home was at the moment. Books and clothes, as well as a variety of other things, were scattered all over the floor. Everything was a mess. He wasn't going to let Yuna see him living like this.

"Well, now I know what I'm going to do with all this energy." He said to himself.

He was going to completely clean up the house, but where to start? He started by picking up all of the clothes. He had no idea what was clean or what was dirty so he just tossed all of the clothes into one pile. When he finished he looked over at the clock to see how much time he had left, when he realized that he had no idea when she was going to arrive.

Here he was, the love of his live could come at any minute and he had a large pile of clothes in the middle of the room that went up past his knees. He sighed out loud and gave up all hope of ever getting the house completely clean. With that decided, he opened the closet and threw everything inside. After everything was stuffed into the closet and the closet door was forced shut he heard a soft knocking on the front door.

V: AHHHHHH! Too Much Suspense!

T: -looks sternly towards Veronia- How could you say that I act that way?!

V: Why what ever do you mean?

T: You damn well know what I'm talking about! The way you describe me. I sound like a slob. V: That's because, in truth, you are a slob.

T: I am not!

V: Being in denial won't help you (says in a singing type of voice)

T: -drops back down in his seat and glares at Veronia-

V: Oh don't be like that! -Gives Tidus a hug and kiss- You know I still love you anyway.

T: -sighs- Yeah I know.

V: -looks towards audience and waves hand above head- See ya later!

T: -lifts hand slightly- Yeah. See ya.
