"So exactly what are you doing back here?" Rikku asked from across the dinning table.

Yuna sat beside Tidus at the dining table, happily eating their breakfast, with a talkative Rikku making no attempt to stop talking.

Wakka sat at the head of the table, entertained by the three youngsters.

"I uh..decided that watching Yuna from the fareplane wasn't exactly what I wanted to be doing forever, so I thought why don't I find a way out of there back here with the living. So I packed my bags, said my goodbye to my old man. Went to see Braska, to say bye too. My intentions of seeing Yuna's dad was to ask him a question. And also to tell him of what I was going to ask the gods. Surprisingly he said, that he could send me back here. So, he did, and here I am." Tidus explained, then went back to his eating.

"What was the question." Rikku asked, staring at the pair closely.

Tidus stopped chewing for a moment, then swallowed slowly. "Uh..I..uh.." He stared at Wakka, then Lulu then to Yuna. "The question..I asked was..when I returned back here to Yuna, was it possible for me to take his daughters hand in marriage." Tidus spoke slowly, staring at Wakka and Lulu nervously.

Rikku hung her mouth open, staring at Tidus opened eyed. "How Romantic Yunie, I can't believe you did that Tidus..Aww..That is just the best thing any guy could ever do for a girl."

Tidus smiled. "Well, I love her and at that time I thought if I made it back somehow all I wanted was another chance to live, so that I could make Yuna happy by marrying her and spending the rest of my life with her, and before I could do that I had to get permission from her father first."

Rikku smirked. "You do know Yuna is sitting right beside you right?"

Tidus nodded, smiling at Yuna. "I know, I discussed it with her this morning."

Rikku hung her mouth open again. "AND WHAT DID YOU SAY YUNA?"

"Wait! Yuna, you..and Tidus?" Lulu asked, putting her fork down.

Tidus and Yuna both shook their heads.

Tidus spoke quickly. "No…we discussed it, nothing else."

Rikku sat back down quietly.

Everyone at the table sat there quietly playing with their food.

"I'm uh..Finished." Wakka stated, taking Vidinia in his arms and walking out of the room.

"So, Lulu. How have you been?" Rikku asked.

Tidus and Yuna sat, uncomfortable close, both avoiding each others eyes.

"Yuna." Tidus spoke.

Yuna jerked her head, looking into his blue eyes.

Suddenly all recipients at the table fell quite, eyes staring at the couple.

"Uh.." Tidus mumbled, looking at Rikku and Lulu's waiting eyes, then back at Yuna.

Smirking to Rikku and Lulu, he leaned in and whispered in Yuna's ear. "Don't get me wrong ok. I..I want to marry you, but I only returned two days ago, lets take things slow ok?"

Yuna giggled at Rikku and Lulu's reaction.

She nodded to Tidus. "Ok."

Tidus smiled. "I'm going to the beach for a while ok." He stood up.

Yuna nodded, understanding that this was his time he needed alone, to possibly think, let his mind run freely.

Smiling, Tidus got up and walked out the door, towards the beach.

"What did he say?" Rikku asked, leaning in closer.

Yuna smirked. "Nothing you need to know about."

Rikku glared. "Yunie!"

"Leave her alone Rikku, if she doesn't want to tell us, that's fine. It's her business anyway, not ours." Lulu instructed, stacking the planes.

She smiled warmly at Yuna, then walked off towards the kitchen, the plates in her hands.

Rikku snorted. "Fine then, I'm going to help Lulu." She got up and followed Lulu to the kitchen.

Yuna sat at the dinning table, lost in thoughts.

Smiling at her thoughts, she stood up, making her way to the door.

As she exited, she could only think of one destination. The Beach.

Walking down the familiar road, she remembered the day the beginning of pilgrimage. Remembering what Kimhari had done to Tidus, when they were on this very road.

She managed a chuckle, she felt sorry for Tidus having to put up with Kimhari. But no matter what anyone thought, it still didn't stop Tidus from falling in love with her.

"Tidus.." Yuna smirked.

She walked a bit faster, nearing the entrance to the beach.

Casting her eyes around the beach, it came to rest on a figure, that sat, hands behind his back, legs spread apart.

His eyes looking out at the sea.

She walked over as quietly as she could, so that she could surprise him.

But stopped suddenly when she saw a small kid running up to her Tidus, settling up beside Tidus.

Curiosity filled her, who was this kid? Her steps quicken, as she neared Tidus.

"Hey you." She spoke.

Startled Tidus turned around, meeting her eyes. "Hey."

"Lady Yuna." The little kid greeted with a small smile and a wave.

Yuna smirked, the kid was one of the villages sons, he must have come down here with Tidus.

Yuna gave a questioning look at the kid then back to Tidus.

Before Tidus said anything the small boy stood up. "Sir Tidus, may I go get some water from the sea for my castle."

Tidus smiled. "Sure, just don't go too deep into the water ok..And stay where I can see you."

The boy chuckled, then ran off.

'I never knew he was this good with kids.' Yuna thought.

"So..How come you're with the small boy?" Yuna asked.

"Oh..Him..Yea he's my son." Tidus said, waiting for Yuna's reaction.

He almost laughed when he saw her eyes widen. "Just joking." He smirked.

Yuna smacked him on the arm playfully. "No really."

"I was on my way to here, like I told you when Michael here, came quietly up to me, tugging my shirt. He asked me if I would accompany him to the beach, because his father was busy and couldn't come with him to the beach. So, I mean since this was where I was headed, I agreed." Tidus spoke.

"Didn't his father have anything to say about his son going off with some mysterious guy?" Yuna asked, sitting beside him.

"Michaels father took one look at me, and trusted me straight away. I remember him saying something along the lines of, 'Oh..S..Sir T..Tidus..It is an honor to have you keep an eye on my child, T..thank you.'" Tidus mimicked the man.

Yuna giggled and swatted his arm. "You shouldn't make fun of them."

Tidus looked hurt. "Yuna..Never..That's what he said, honestly that's how he spoke."

Yuna smirked. "I believe you."
