Chapter 4: back home

After a little wail Tidus was able to gain enough strength to stand up, all though he was a little wobbly. After he was up he was able to clearly see where he was. "Zanarkand," he muttered. Never did he think he would end up back here and especially after they were defeated by Sin.

"That's right! Home sweet home, eh'," the strange man that found him said. He walked to the warrior's side; Tidus cast him a sideways glance then looked back to the brilliant city. Some how he wasn't as excited or as happy as he imagined he would be once he returned home.

Maybe all I need is to meet up with my friends or some thing. Then I'll be happy, right! Right? But he still couldn't shake the feeling that some thing was missing. He started walking down the street slowly. "Nothing's changed," he muttered. The man that seemed so fascinated by Tidus' sudden arrival seemed to have left.

As Tidus approached his old apartment he stopped in front of the door. "By now they've probably come and taken all of my stuff out," he said pushing the door open. Why isn't it locked? Don't they usually keep it locked if some one's not living in it? He stepped inside. It was dark but you could still make out the shapes of furniture. A couch, a desk, ect.

He flipped the switch on but the light didn't blink on like normal. Tidus sighed walking over to a dark blue lamp with a light blue lamp shade and flipped that light on. Luckily it wasn't burned out like the ceiling lights. The blond teen looked around the room, it had been untouched. "Odd," he mumbled. Walking in to other rooms he noticed the same thing, every thing was just like he had left it be for that blitz game. Why isn't the city destroyed from Sin attacking it? He wondered.

There was a light knock at the open door. Tidus walked in to the other room to see who it was only to be tackled to the ground by about ten people! "Whoa!" The blitz star was rather surprised not to mention buried under a dog pile. "I guess new travels fast then," he gasped barely able to breathe from every one on top of him.

"We thought you were gone for good, man!"

"Yeah!"

"Every one's missed you!"

"Yeah!"

"Now you're back and we're going on a winning streak again!"

"Yeah!"

"Stop saying 'yeah' you dweeb."

Finally every one let Tidus get out from the pile. Yes, every thing's exactly the same, he thought. Tidus couldn't help but grin at his friends. They were all such goof balls. A couple of them were jumping on his couch and some were clustered around him and others were of coarse in the kitchen snacking on what every was still edible. Every thing was the same except him. The experiences he had been through had changed him, no doubt about it.

Tidus stood up off of the carpet. "So tell me, how bad have you been doing with out me," he asked leaning against the white wall.

His black headed friend shook his head, "it's horrible! Not one game! Not one game!"

"You haven't won any since Sin…I mean since I left?" He shook his head again. Tidus sighed; blitz ball was great and was fun. It use to be the center of his life but…there were other things that seemed to matter more now: like he still needed to find the others, alive or unsent, he still needed to find them.

After a wail his friends left his house around thee in the morning leaving a really tired Tidus and a huge mess. He didn't bother to clean it up. Quietly he walked in to his room and collapsed on his bed, "I wonder what happened to Rikku." He rolled over to his side. What about Wakka? He'd be so excited if he saw the Zanarkand blitz stadium, it was at least two times bigger than the one in Luca. And Lulu? She might not be as impressed as Wakka would be with the city but, she would still probably enjoy it. Yuna… He rolled over to his other side more uncomfortable. What had happened to her, surly she couldn't be dead, if she was then… No he didn't want to think about if she is dead he wanted to think that she was only lost and he was going to find her and save her. Yes that's what would happen. But even as Tidus thought this he couldn't help but doubt.

"Oh, I miss you so much," he groaned. Finally after a wail of twisting and turning in bed he drifted off to sleep.
