Hello everyone! I just have to say that all of your reviews have helped me pull through my block. I... I couldn't have done it without you all. I...I... (breaks down with tears)

Tidus: Hey, are you crying?

Veronia: No (says in between tears) On course not. I...don't cry.

T: Is anything wrong?

V: I'm...I'm just so happy!

T: Really?

V: YES! Why would I lie about something like that?

T: I... I don't know (Steps out of punching range)

V: Oh, I also have to apologize for the lateness of this chapter. I know I should have put it in earlier but I had a hard time writing it. Also add the fact that as soon as I finished and was going to put the chapter on the web-sight it was impossible for me to log on. Well, enough with that stuff.
-sniff- I just want to tell everyone that I loved their reviews and that I love some of the suggestions that were made.

T: (looks up to the clock) How much longer is this going to take?

V: Hey! I'm pouring my heart out here! The least you can do is wait for me to finish!

T: Yeah, but the whole point of this is so people can read the story.

V: What!

T: (moves farther away) I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Forget I said anything.

V: Fine I will! (gazes off onto the distance for several moments)

T: Uh... Are you alright?

V: What? (Comes out of the daze) I'm sorry, what were we talking about?

T: You were about to say the legal stuff before the chapter begins.

V: I was? Oh. Well... I don't own any Final Fantasy character. Legally at least (gives a sly look towards Tidus) Nor do I own anything else in any Final Fantasy game. Okay, now that over. Let's beginning with chapter 7!

T: Enjoy.

Chapter 7: Interruptions

Yuna woke up the next morning with the feeling of warm flesh against her skin. She opened her eyes and smiled when she saw Tidus's face in front of hers. His eyes were closed in sleep. His mouth was partially open and his lips were curled back into a slight smile She slipped closer to his warm skin and felt his arm slip around her as if he were protecting her. He wasn't really asleep.

She moved closer to him and pressed her lips against his. She wasn't surprised when he returned her embrace. When she slowly moved away from the kiss she opened her eyes slightly to see Tidus looking back at her.

"Do you always wake people up by kissing them?" He asked jokingly as a smile spread over his face.

"Only one." She answered while wrapping her arms around him.

A grin spread over Tidus's face and he pulled her closer. He breathed in deep the scent of her hair as he nestled her close. He felt as she pressed herself against his chest. They stayed there for several silent minutes before either of them spoke.

"What time is it?" Yuna asked lazily.

Tidus looked over his shoulder to the clock on the bedside table. "Uh... almost 8:47."

"What! Are you serious?" Yuna bolted up. "I've got to get to work."

"Hey! Hey!" Tidus said as he took a hold of her wrist and pulled her back. "Just where do you think you're going?"

"I have to get to work." She tried to explain. "I'm late."

"Just tell them that you got held up somewhere." He said while he wrapped his arms around her. "It's mostly true."

"Yeah, but-"

"Shh." Tidus whispered into her ear. "It's alright if you miss one day. Besides, this is a lifetime event. I'm sure they'll understand."

"I don't think they'll buy the story that I've found the love of my life who I had met in a dream." Yuna said as she raised a hand and placed it against Tidus's cheek.

"Then change part of the story." Tidus said lazily.

"Well, what should I change?"

"Do you expect me to do everything?" Tidus let out a sigh and a smile appeared on his lips. "Why don't we forget about that now and think of something else." He brought his lips closer to her and started kissing the base of her neck.

"What do you have in mind?" Yuna asked even though she already knew the answer.

"Oh, I don't know." Tidus said as he continued his barrage of kisses. "Maybe we can think of something."

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Tidus lifted his head up and frowned when he heard someone at the front door. Who could that be?

"Let's just wait for them to leave." He whispered before kissing her again.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

"I don't think they're going to leave." Yuna said.

Tidus let out a loud sigh and got up onto his feet. "I'll get rid of them."

He quickly slipped on the closest articles of clothing, which just happened to be what he had been wearing the day before. As he moved to the door the constant banging continued.

What could possibly be so important that someone would bother me now? Tidus thought bitterly as he reached for the doorknob.

He jerked the door open and saw Zen standing there. Zen was taken back a step when he saw the look of annoyance on Tidus's face.

"Zen! What are you doing here?" Tidus couldn't believe that Zen would come interrupt him in the morning when there wasn't even going to be a game played that day.

"Well, good morning to you too." Zen said as he took a step closer. "Sorry to barge in on you like this but I wanted to see if you had finally met this 'dream girl' you were talking about yester-"

Zen was caught off guard when he saw a young woman step up behind Tidus. She was beautiful with her blue and green eyes. He noticed that she was wearing some of Tidus's clothes and showed a half smile.

"Well it's really good that you stopped by but we're kind of busy now so goodbye." Tidus said as fast as he could while he started to close the door.

"Hey wait!" Zen slipped in-between the door and the doorframe before Tidus had been able to shut him out. "Aren't you going to introduce me?"

"No." Tidus said bluntly while trying to shove him out.

"Who is this?" Yuna asked as she looked over Tidus's shoulder.

Tidus let out a loud sigh and stopped pushing on the door. "Yuna, this it Zen. Zen this is Yuna."

Zen pushed his way through the doorway and extended a hand towards her. "Pleased to meet you." He said with a large grin spreading over his face.

"Hey! I never said you could come in!" Tidus argued as Zen made his way into the house. It was too late though. He was already inside. Zen moved over to Yuna and took her hand in his.

"It's a pleasure to meet you." He said again while winking in Tidus's direction.

"That's nice." Yuna said as she slipped her hand away from his. Zen tried to take a step closer to her.

"Maybe we can get to know each other a little more."

"Let's not." Yuna said as she took a step back.

Tidus saw that things were going to far and stepped in between them, pushing Zen farther away from her.

"You're going too far." He whispered to Zen, almost in a growl.

"Hey, Hey! It was just a joke." Zen took a few more steps back and raised his hands up as a sign of defeat. "Just relax a little."

He could tell from the look in Tidus's eyes that he had gone to far. He moved over to one of the couches, making sure to avoid getting to close to Yuna, and slumped down in the seat.

"Well, would you like something to eat or drink?" Tidus said, a hint of anger still in his voice, when he saw that his friend was already making himself at home.

"Yeah," Zen said as he placed his feet up onto the table. "Anything to drink would be fine."

Tidus moved over to the small kitchen area, grumbling all the way and keeping a close eye on Zen. Even though he had known Zen for several years he wasn't sure how he would act around Yuna. He had the feeling that Zen's earlier actions had been more then a joke.

He came back a few minutes later with a glass of water in his hand. He handed Zen the glass and moved over to Yuna's side. He stayed close to her because he still didn't trust his friend.

"So, how long have you two known each other?" Zen asked, trying to break the tension between himself and Tidus.

"Around a month." Tidus answered.

He didn't truly know how to answer that question. In the dream nearly a month had seemed to pass, but in reality it had only been one night in a dream. He just hoped that his answer was correct. He glanced over to Yuna and saw her nodding her head slightly.

The conversation lasted for a while. Being mostly questions asked by Zen about Tidus and Yuna. The more questions he asked the more and more difficult they became to answer. They didn't want to tell him anything that had happened in the dream, knowing that he would never believe them, and that made it harder for them to answer.

"Alright, I think it's time for you to leave." Tidus said when Zen's questioning became impossible to answer truthfully.

Tidus stood back up and motioned towards the door.

"But, but I still want to ask you-"

"Please leave." Tidus interrupted. He opened the door and waited for his friend to leave. Zen stood back up onto his feet and moved slowly towards the door.

"But can I just ask one more qu-" Zen shut his mouth when he saw the look on Tidus's face and quickly slipped back out the door. "I'll talk to you later." He called back as he started running away.

Tidus closed the door and dropped back down to the couch. He brought his head down and rested it in the palms of his hands. Yuna saw his frustration and moved closer to him. She wrapped her arms around his shoulders. He lifted his head and smiled at her.

"You know Tidus, I've had this though on my mind ever since your friend started asking his questions." She whispered into his ear.

"Yeah? About how I can have such strange friends?"

Yuna laughed a little at the joke. "Not really. I was just wondering. You and me were both in the dream and both met when it ended."

"Yeah, where are you going with this?"

"I think it would be obvious." Yuna sighed as she hugged him closer. "Do you think that anyone else in the dream could be around?"

Tidus sat up and a smile spread across his face. "I think you might be right. It is possible."

"Do you think we should search for them?"

The smile spread wider over Tidus's face. "Yeah. We should." He moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. "But not right now. Let's save that for a little later." He moved closer to her and pressed his lips against hers.

"Alright." Yuna whispered as a smile made its way onto her face. "Later."

V: Well, what do you think? Not much happens but I think its good none the less.

T: Was Zen just joking or was he serious?

V: I'm not really sure.

T: What! You're the one writing it and you don't know!

V: Hey! Calm down. It's still a work in progress. It just adds a bit of mystery to the story.

T: I HATE mysteries!

V: (whispers under breath) I could tell.

Well everyone, just to reiterate, I loved everyone's reviews (I just wish I could have people review like that for every chapter) Over the next few chapters I will slowly bring in more and more of the characters. So slowly that it may drive you all insane. Mua ha ha ha ha! (laughs evilly)

T: Now you need to calm down!

V: (gazes off onto the distance)

T: Hey, are you alright? Hey! HEY! Oh no. Not again. Well... it may be a while before she starts doing anything again so don't keep your hopes too high for early chapters. So long
