Heyy people. It's GG, who decided to update this story. I love this storyline. It can go so many ways…and who doesn't love fluff. I was kind of afraid that people would point out that this story HAS no plotline, and that the characters were OOC. Yuna was pretty OOC in the first chapter, but I hope to make her more IC. This chapter will be shorter (I promise) and probably more interesting than the first. Kerry and Gab will be introduced in the next chapter: I want to get this updated.
I'm glad that no one flamed, thinking that Tidus forced her on to the beach to knock her up. They did have sex…I wrote that part but it sucked so I deleted it. If you want to read a lemon that was almost the same as what I planned for this story, read chapter 18 of Final Fantasy X: The Missing Chapters by darcee-michelle. In that one, Yuna ASKED for it. Same thing with this story.
I dedicate this chapter to Hikaru-Chan13, for being my first reviewer. I hope that you stay with me through the course of the story (It always seems the first reviewer of every story only stays for the first chapter, then never reviews again).
Also, I have to thank -Tannie- for making me update. I'm updating!
Another thing; I don't support premarital sex. But it makes a good story. Yeah, I stole that line from someone.
Yuna woke up to the lapping on waves by her feet. Stupid high tide. She soon noticed that she was naked, and on a beach. "How am I here?"
She sat up, and bits and pieces of the night before flashed in her mind. Talking, stealing kisses, waves lapping at her face, and not caring because she was too busy kissing to care. Slowly undressing, the sharp pain of losing her virginity, everything.
She frowned, looking around. He wasn't there. It had been a dream. A tear ran down her cheek as she had realized that she had dreamt that she had found him again. This was the second one this week.
But, Yuna had been wrong that time. She felt something bump into her, something warm. She turned around slowly, seeing her love. She grinned sheepishly, thinking, 'Oh yeah, better check behind me before giving up.'
Tidus slowly opened his eyes, then managed to sit up. "Good morning Yuna." He yawned, stretching and hitting Yuna in the head. "Sorry," he mumbled drowsily, wiping the sleep from his eyes.
Yuna massaged her head, smirking. "Get dressed silly. It's…" Yuna checked her watch, before covering her mouth. "Crap…its 7:51. Get up. We should've been awake an hour ago." Yuna grabbed a nearby belt, slapped Tidus in the arm with it to wake him up, and grabbed her clothes. Tidus, now fully awake, gathered his clothes as well, and they both dressed in silence. After dressing, they rushed back to Besaid, where they faced an annoyed Rikku, a pissed Lulu, and a bored Wakka.
Lulu spoke first. "Where have you two been? The ferry's leaving in five minutes. You two are still in your pajamas, for Yevon's sake."
"Ya know, Lu's right." Wakka agreed, pointing his thumb in Lulu's direction.
"You guys could have missed the boat." Rikku huffed, clearly annoyed of the current situation.
"I'm sorry. We were just…" Lulu glared, causing Yuna to drift off, "I'll get my bag. We'll put on some better clothes on the boat, and we'll shower in Luca."
Tidus nodded in agreement, and the twosome ran to the tent, and emerged two minutes later with a bag each. "We're ready to go!" Tidus said, "Race you to the boat!" he yelled from behind as Yuna and Rikku chased after him, leaving a laughing Wakka and an unimpressed Lulu in their wake.
The group of five boarded the boat, and moments after, the boat departed into the horizon.
Meanwhile, Yuna and Tidus occupied the bathrooms, Tidus changing into his blitz uniform and Yuna into a pretty sundress. Once fully clothed, they exited.
"Nice dress." Tidus commented, causing her to go a bit pink. It was kind of embarrassing when he complemented her.
"Thanks." Yuna smiled sheepishly, taking his hand her hers, and turning even redder.
They walked up to the deck, hand and hand, staring out at the ocean.
"The wind…it's nice." Yuna said quietly, knowing that that was the beginning of their first real conversation.
Tidus snorted. "That's what you said back on the ferry from Besaid to Kilika."
Yuna smiled shyly. "Yeah. And you laughed at me."
Tidus shrugged. "It was funny." Tidus said in his own defense, seeing that it was the only thing he had thought up, "And you laughed too."
Yuna sighed. "I guess I did." Yuna stared at the ground at bit defeated. She still wanted an apology out of him for that. She couldn't put a finger on as to why, though.
Sensing her uncomfortable-ness, he wrapped his arm around her waist, grinned ear-to-ear. "Don't look so unhappy. We're going to Luca!" Yuna smiled at his silliness. Tidus might have spent 3 birthdays in the farplane, but he definitely didn't do any maturing since Yuna last saw him.
"Yeah." She whispered to no one in particular, leaning on his shoulder and taking in their surroundings as Tidus turned to her and kissed her.
Meanwhile, Rikku and Lulu were standing at the side of the book, eying the reunited couple with awe and envy. Well, at least Rikku was. Lulu looked stoic and bored as usual.
"Aw…Yuna is so lucky. They are so in love." Rikku's eyes danced as she clapped her hands together cutely, a motion that Lulu despised.
Lulu sighed. Rikku's excitement was ridding her of what little patience she currently had. "You'll find someone soon enough. Don't waste your life watching other people live theirs." Lulu said bitterly, "I'm going to go up to the upper deck."
Rikku's eyes turned from Tidus and Yuna to Lulu, eyeing her suspiciously. "Seeing Wakka, right?" Rikku said matter-of-factly, winking knowingly at the black mage.
Lulu narrowed her eyes at the perky Al Bhed. "So what if I am? Am I not allowed to talk to my best friend?" Lulu spat out the words, as if they were poison.
Rikku smiled in victory. "You do know you let me in on your secret, right?"
If looks could kill, Rikku would have been dead by now. "Rikku, you know not to talk about that in public. If word got out about me being in lo…liking Wakka as more than a friend, I'd have to kill you." Lulu hissed angrily, mutteringexpletives under her breath, lifting up her skirt as she walked up to the upper deck.
Rikku rolled her eyes. Lulu was still oblivious to Wakka's obvious feelings for her. But something suddenly occurred to her. Now that Tidus was back, and Lulu and Wakka had a chance of getting together, she'd be the only single person. "Poopie,'' she muttered under her breath, heading towards the edge of the boat.
"Why does Yunie get all the luck? She gets all the fame and all the glory…and she gets the guy?" Rikku muttered angrily, remembering that she still had the slightest of crushes on Tidus. I mean, the guy was hot, but she'd never want to take away from her cousin's happiness.
"And of course, I never get the guy. I'm just the cousin, the shadow. I've only gone out with like two guys. Keyakku's dead…and I told Gippal if I ever saw him again, I'd kill him for cheating on me. Guess that some people get it all…" Rikku stared out at the water, wanting nothing more than to jump in and drown her sorrows away. But she put on a big grin, and decided to crash in on Yuna and Tidus.
Meanwhile, Lulu had gone upstairs in search of Wakka. Slightly tripping over her long dress, Lulu reached the top deck, and saw her childhood friend leaning over the rail, watching the newly reunited on the bottom deck from above.
Lulu coughed, hinting at her presence. Wakka turned around quickly, face hot. Busted… "That was not what it looked like…I was just looking at the ocean." He said breathlessly, guilty nearly inked on his forehead.
Lulu snorted. Wakka always was one of the worst liars in history. "Oh yes, and when you were looking at the ocean, you just happened to see Yuna and Tidus making out on the bottom deck. Right, Wakka…" Lulu replied sarcastically, narrowing her eyes at the defeated blitzer.
Wakka sighed in defeat. "Okay, I just wanted to make sure he wasn't trying anything. Yuna's like my sister, ya." He said knowingly, earning an angered look from the black mage.
"Wakka, Yuna is nineteen years old…nearly twenty. She is an adult now. And while I didn't always like Tidus, he has been nothing but supportive of Yuna and no matter what she did, he was always behind her. Tidus loves her, when you look at them you know it, so he wouldn't try to hurt her." Piercing red eyes glared at soft brown ones as Wakka crossed his arms in mock defense.
"I'm sorry Lu…it's just I worry about her sometimes…but your right, ya…" Wakka drifted off nervously, scratching the back of his neck.
Lulu's face softened. Why was she being so mean to him when she knew she loved him? "It's okay Wakka. You just need to remember she's a big girl now, and she'll be okay." She whispered, knowing it was pretty out of character to be nice, but she needed to be nicer to her best friend.
Lulu leaned across the rail as well, staring off into space as the waves lapped the ship as it sailed to the wonderful city of Luca.
Meanwhile, Tidus and Yuna were down on the bottom deck, still kissing. Yuna broke the kiss, staring into his electric blue eyes. "I love you." She whispered shyly, a small blush forming on her cheeks.
Tidus opened his mouth to say "I love you too," but Rikku glomped them, an arm around each of their shoulders.
"Heyy guys! What is up?" Rikku asked merrily, so to the point that it would be hard to believe she pitied herself just a few minutes ago.
Tidus groaned. "Rikku, you know you happen to have the worst sense of timing. Can you come back later?"
Rikku pouted, crossing her arm across her chest. "Well I'm sorry Tidus, I didn't know that I needed to plan ahead just to say hi to you. I mean…saying this to your best friend, that's pretty low Ti." Rikku teased, pretending to be insulted as Tidus scratched the back of his neck nervously.
"Uh…you know…" Tidus tripped on his words, causing the cousins to have a quick laugh.
"Tidus, it's okay. Just don't be mad when I crash your make-out sessions with my cousin. Right Yunie?"
Yuna contemplated defending her boyfriend, or joking with her cousin. Decisions, decisions…but family came first. "Yeah…Rikku is right. I mean, if we kiss in public we should be prepared to have people interrupt us."
Tidus nodded in understanding. "Yeah, I guess so." He pouted childishly, earning a laugh from the cousins.
Yuna smiled, leaning her head against his shoulder. "He might be silly, but he's at least he's pretty cute." She said serenely, grinning at the reaction her boyfriend would have, due to his oversized ego.
Tidus stared at her indignantly. "Pretty cute. Pretty cute? Sure didn't seem like that when we were having sec..." Tidus remembered that he was in the presence of Rikku, and clasped his hand to his mouth, "Oh shit…"
Yuna lifted her head from his shoulder, and slapped him. Hard, for that matter, as she blushed quite a few shades of red.
Rikku gasped overdramatically. "So that's why you overslept. You and Tidus were getting it on, Yunie?"
Yuna blushed a deeper red, if such a shade existed. "Rikku…shush…" she said embarrassedly, blushing profusely.
Rikku grinned ear-to-ear. Though she loathed to admit it, it was fun to torture Yunie about it. "Aww…my little Yunie isn't the Pure Yunalesca anymore…how cute." Rikku clapped both of her hands together for emphasis.
Yuna, embarrassed out of her wits, covered her glowing face in her hands. "Rikku, if you tell Wakka or Lulu about this, I swear, I will tell Cid about how Gippal REALLY lost his eye." Yuna said sternly, obviously meaning every word she had uttered.
"Who's Gippal, and how did he lose his eye?" Yuna stared daggers at him, and he immediately shut up.
"Uh…I'm going to crash on Lulu and Wakka…make sure they aren't making out of the top deck." Rikku said cautiously, not wanting to irk her cousin.
"Feel free." Yuna said sternly, facing Tidus with quite a bit of anger. Quickly, Rikku ran up to the top deck, away from her potentially dangerous cousin.
"Sorry, Yuna…it just slipped out."
"Watch your mouth, then. We were lucky it was Rikku. What if it was Wakka? What if it was Lulu? What if it was Cid? Most people here don't believe in premarital sex. I'm the High Summoner; I have a reputation to uphold. And by Yevon, you are not going to screw it up."
Tidus raised his hands in defeat. "Gee, sorry Yuna. I'm tired, and I'm not exactly focusing on what I'm saying. Holy Yevon…"
Yuna softened at his hurt expression. "It's okay…I haven't had a lot of sleep either, I'm still pretty cranky from being up so late."
Tidus smiled at her, and placed a swift kiss on her cheek. "I love you." He whispered, grinning like an idiot.
"I love you too." She smiled at him, giggling a little, "But if you're going to kiss me, you're going to have to do it better than that last one." Yuna stood on the tips of her toes, and lightly pressed her lips against his. She pulled away slowly, still smiling. "Better."
On the top deck, Rikku, Wakka, and Lulu were talking, if you could call it that.
"WE ARE NOT GOING TO FASHION EMPORIUM THE SECOND WE GET THERE, YA!" Wakka yelled, disagreeing with Rikku's suggestion.
"Tidus has no clothes. Lulu has no clothes. My clothes are old. Yunie needs a new wardrobe. And you need some other clothes that that uniform."
Lulu rolled her eyes. They had been bickering about this since Rikku got up to the top deck. "Rikku, we aren't going to Fashion Emporium right after we get off the boat. But Wakka, I need new clothes, Tidus needs clothes…we all need new clothes. We'll check in to our hotel, drop our stuff and we go shopping. I mean, we have to get formal clothes for the Drafting Dinner tomorrow." Lulu suggested, playing the role of Queen of Compromise.
Rikku and Wakka pondered Lulu's suggestion, then agreed.
"But what is the Drafting Dinner anyway?" Rikku asked, having very little knowledge of blitzball.
"It's a big dinner where all of the unsigned blitzball players go to get signed, and the teams go to sign the players. We need to sign 3 players...another forward, a good-all-around player, and backup goalie. This year we're playing 3 forwards, 2 midfielders, 2 defenders, a goalie, and two subs, ya?" Wakka answered excitedly.
"Wakka's excited because this is the first time he's needed to go to one." Lulu added dryly, looking out onto the ocean without interest to the conversation.
"Hey, so a guy can't be happy, ya?"
Lulu slapped her hand to her forehead in frustration. "Ugh…" she muttered as she walked down to the kitchen. Time was flying past them and it was already noon.
Wakka's stomach made a loud rumble, earning a laugh from Rikku. "What? I'm hungry. It's already noon, ya!" he said in defense, "I'm going to get some food from the kitchen."
"Me too." Rikku agreed as the Al Bhed and the blitzer made their way to the kitchen. It really wasn't a kitchen; it was more of a restaurant. But everyone called it the kitchen anyway.
They got in line, in back of none other than Tidus and Yuna. "Hi lovebirds." Rikku said enthusiastically, forgetting their early dispute.
Yuna blushed a shade of pale pink. "Hello Rikku…Wakka." She said softly, turning from her boyfriend to face her cousin and the Besaidian blitzer.
Tidus seemed more confident. "Heyy guys." He said joyfully, wrapping his arm around Yuna's waist affectionately. "Lunch?"
The Al Bhed and the tall blitzer nodded. "You, ya?" Wakka asked the couple. They nodded as the line moved up, and Tidus and Yuna were at the front.
The cashier looked at the newly-reunited couple boredly. "Welcome to the Kitchen. What will the two of you be having?"
Yuna quickly scanned the menu before ordering. "I'll have the chicken wrap with a lemonade." She told the cashier, then faced Tidus, "What will you have, sweetie."
"Uh…I'll have the classic club sandwich with a coke." Tidus said to the cashier.
The cashier snapped her gum, then typed something into her register. "29 gil is your total. Your food will be ready momentarily," the woman said dryly, studying her nails, and biting a chipped one.
Yuna fished a couple bills out of her purse, and the cashier handed her a tray. Tidus took the tray, and the couple walked to the table where Lulu was eating a salad. More like picking at the lettuce, but nevertheless eating it.
Tidus set the tray on the table, and the two took their seats. "Heyy Lulu." Tidus said blissfully, taking the plate with his sandwich and taking a rather large bite of it.
"Tidus, take human bites. You don't want to choke." Yuna said in a maternal tone, which was funny, considering that Tidus was actually 3 months older than her.
Tidus swallowed the bite. "Yes Mommy." He said in defeat, taking a slightly smaller, but still large bite.
Lulu shook her head in disbelief. "Yuna, how do you put up with Mr. Eating-Machine here?" she pointed to Tidus, whose mouth was in the process of swallowing.
Yuna shrugged. "I try to ignore him when he's eating." She replied simply, taking a bite of her wrap.
At this time, Wakka and Rikku had reached their table, and the two sat down.
"Hello guys!" Rikku said cheerfully, setting her tray down.
"Hello Rikku, Wakka." Lulu replied dully, taking a small bite of her salad.
"So…what are we even going to when we GET to Luca?" Tidus asked the group, having only a faint idea of the point of their trip.
"We'll check into our hotel, unpack, then head down to Fashion Emporium for new clothes. Then we'll have lunch, and go on from their." Lulu answered, getting up from her seat to throw out her salad.
The group ate their lunch, while discussing the trip; what they were going to do and who they'd see. But it turns out that nothing turned out like they expected.
A little shorter than I expected, but I wanted to get out the chapter before the new year. I was going to write after that, but I thought that it was a nice closure. It'd be pretty boring to write about all of it anyway.
