chap. 1 review

Sora has landed in Spira after his gummi ship broke down. The Gullwings come to his rescue, but can't figure out how to fix his airship. They plan on taking him to an airship specialist. Also, a strong sphere signal was found coming from Zanarkand Dome, but knowing that the Dome has been sealed after Isaaru left, they decided to fly to Besaid Island and ask Tidus for some help. Sora can't wait to see his "old friend" Tidus again!

Age listing: Sora 19, FFX-2 character ages are the same as the game

chapter two: "nice to meet you, sora!"

Sora was lying on the deck of the Celsius as it flew to Besaid.

Can't wait to see Tidus... Sora thought to himself. Hmm... if these people are friends of Tidus, then maybe I can stay here and live off of them! They seem pretty rich, so I'll be living great! If I retire now, then I can sell all my goods here and live like a king!

"Sora!" Rikku ran out onto the deck. "There you are!"

"Huh?" Sora stood up and faced Rikku. "What's up?"

"We're almost at Besaid, so get ready, okay?" she smiled at him.

"Okay," he replied with a smile. "Thanks!"

"N-No problem," Rikku blushed lightly, then went back to the bridge.

Sora stared at the sky, and raised his middle finger up to the sky. "That's for you, DPK! Dumbass Peace-Keepers! You fail at your job!"

"What the hell are you doing?" Paine stood at the door to the deck.

"Ah! N-Nothing!" Sora lowered his arm and quickly ran past her. "Gotta go to the bathroom!" Paine watched him run away before going out to the deck.

"Who the hell is he...?" She said to herself.

Sora ran down to the bridge, meeting up with Rikku, Yuna, Brother, and Buddy.

"What happened to that other kid?" Sora looked around for Shinra.

"He went to take a nap," Yuna replied.

"Kids these days," Brother mumbled. "they should have more energy than us!"

"Hey guys! We're here!" Buddy exclaimed.

"Alright! Bring us down!" Yuna commanded.

This is it! Sora thought to himself. I finally get to meet up with Tidus!

The Celsius lowered itself onto the shores of the beach. Yuna, Rikku and Sora started to head for the exit.

"You guys aren't coming?" Rikku asked.

"We'll be out soon," Brother replied. "we just have to check on a few things."

"Where's Paine?" Yuna looked around.

"Oh," Sora responded. "she was on the deck when I last saw her."

"I guess she'll come into town when she feels like it," Rikku said. "so let's go!"

The three of them headed off the Celsius and stepped into wet sand. They started heading towards town when a man called out to them.

"Heeeey girls!"

A semibuilt man with dirty-blonde hair walked onto the beach from the docks. He wore a yellow and white jacket that was under a black-bluish apron-vest thing. Attached to the left arm of his jacket was an intricate sleeve that was attached to a gauntlet. He wore black-bluish pants that had zippers where you could remove a portion of the pants, so his right leg had the middle portion attached while his left leg had none. Under those pants he wore swimming trunks. He also wore black leather gloves, yellow boots edged with black, and studs on his ears. What caught Sora's eyes was the silver necklace that he wore, which had the same shape as the black heart-like pattern on Yuna's shirt.

"Tidus!" Yuna smiled and ran towards him.

"Tidus?" Sora was perplexed.

"C'mon!" Rikku grabbed Sora by his wrist and ran to Tidus.

"Tidus, this is Sora! Sora, this is Tidus!" Yuna introduced the two men.

"Nice to meet you!" Tidus stuck out his hand.

"Nice to meet you too," Sora shook his hand. Damn, Sora thought, I forgot this was another dimension...

"So why are you guys here?" Tidus questioned.

"Well, Sora's with us because his airship broke down, and we're towing it to Gippal," Rikku answered. "and then we picked up a really strong sphere signal from Zanarkand Dome, except it's been sealed off ever since Isaaru left, so we came to see if you knew how to get in."

"I see." Tidus thought for a moment. "Ah! The emergency exits!"

"Hah! I knew you would know how to get in!" Yuna smiled and kissed Tidus on the cheek.

"Aw, is that all I get for helping you figure out how to get what can be one of your biggest finds ever?" Tidus asked.

"You'll get more after you show us where the exits are," Yuna giggled. "then you'll get something special when we get the sphere!"

"Can't wait," Tidus smirked.

"Okay, gross!" Rikku exclaimed. "C'mon, we need to drop off Sora's airship at Gippal's then go for the sphere!"

"Alright! Let's go!" Yuna replied. She held Tidus' hand and the two walked to the airship.

"So what's the story with those two?" Sora asked Rikku as they walked back to the airship.

"Quite a long story, actually," Rikku replied. "I'll tell you on the way to Gippal's!"

"By the way, who's Gippal?" Sora queried.

"Gippal is an Al Bhed, like me," Rikku answered. "he specializes in machinery, so he ought to to know a thing or two about your airship. He's also pretty tough, and has really nice hair... ooh I didn't say that!"

"Sounds like you like this Gippal," Sora chuckled.

"What! No way!" Rikku replied and ran to the airship.

"Hey! Wait up!" Sora started to run after her.

end of chapter two

Hope you enjoyed this! I really want to update How It All Began but I think I've pretty much lost interest. Sorry to all of you who've been reading it. I'll try to start playing FFX-2 again and maybe it'll inspire me to finish it. I really want to finish it. On the other hand, you can expect a Cardcaptor Sakura fanfic to pop up sometime. Thanks for reading!
