Pairings: Tidus/Sora, and some others later on.

Comments: Yay! My second chapter! I hope you all like it! XD Well my character Midori and my friend's character Kiira come in this chapter and maybe some other ones. Don't worry they don't hook up with anybody. XD They just look from a distance. Haha! I think it's also kind of funny. I actually had to do some research for this chapter about Tidus and some other things that happen in this chapter. My friend's character Kiira appears in this chapter, and mine will in the next one. So keep a look out!

It was just barely past 4 am when Tidus awoke from a rather disturbing nightmare, the bright green glow emitting from his alarm clock telling him so. Tidus only slept with his boxers on, so when jolted up in his bed, he felt his body shiver from the cold air surrounding him. He slowly brought his hand to his cheek, wiping some moister away. To his surprise it wasn't sweat, but tears. Leaning back against the wall, his bed was propped up against, he began recollecting the dream he just had.

The sky on Destiny Island was a wide variety of colors. Green, Purple, Orange, and colors that made the atmosphere seem strange. Tidus was walking around the island when he found Sora sound asleep on the shore. Running towards him, but soon he stopped dead in his tracks. A huge wave washed up and engulfed Sora, almost eating him alive. Tidus tried screaming out Sora's name, but nothing came out.

The wave finally went away but took Sora with it. Tidus continued to run once again, but as he made an attempt to jump in the water after the other boy, he couldn't go after him. He was walking on top of the ocean. He stomped his feat onto the surface, but all that happened was a splash sound was made. Tidus dropped onto his knees, as he watched the other float down deeper and deeper into the endless abyss called the ocean.

Tidus shoved his hand into the water; it was like the same ends of a magnet creating that force to push them apart. He pushed as hard as he could, trying to reach Sora. As soon as he felt something, he yanked it and brought it to the surface. It was the necklace with the key at the end, but no Sora. He tried screaming out the teens name once again, but nothing came out. And that's when he shot up out of bed.

The shivering boy threw off satin green covers, stretching his arms overhead, exposing abs and smooth muscles on his body. He opened the door of his bedroom, which was pretty plain. The walls were dark blue; he had his bed against the wall with the only window. Curtains almost matching the walls helped light to not sneak in. Propped near another wall, lay Tidus's computer desk. His laptop was closed, a few books and papers were scattered around it.

Tidus slipped through the opened door making his way down the narrow hallway to the bathroom. He passed photos of his Blitzball games, family, and even one of him and Sora when they were younger. In the picture Tidus had his arm around Sora's shoulder while giving a peace sign with his other hand. Sora was laughing with Tidus, while in the background lurked a certain silver haired boy. Riku. He was far off in the background, but even so you could see he was displeased. His arms were folded and he huffed out his chest, glaring at Tidus.

Tidus scratched the back off his head and continued to walk to the bathroom. He turned left into said room and stripped off his boxers tossing them into a hamper near the door. Tidus brushed aside clear curtains while twisting the knobs in the shower. He thought back on the photograph he was just staring at a few minutes before.

"Hmm, I guess Riku had a grudge against me even before High school…" His voice was followed by the 'pit-pattering' sounds from the shower as drops of water fell from the shower head. He stuck his hand in a few times while adjusting the waters temperature to something that suited him most, before stepping inside and closing the curtain. Tidus stuck his head right underneath the pounding drops of water. Making sure to get every inch clean he a washcloth and a bar of soap, slapping them together and lathering them up to get the foam he wanted.

He rubbed the washcloth on his arms, chest, legs, etc. He ran his shampooed hands through his hair massaging his scalp and then conditioned. Tidus opened the shower curtains releasing steams, while grabbing a towel to wrap around his waist. Standing in front of the fog covered mirror, Tidus wiped some away so he could look eye to eye with himself, but when he did he just glared at his reflection.. Picking up his tooth brush he did the job and went back to his room throwing the towel onto his bed and changing into a clean pair of clothes.

Tidus made his way to the living room figuring he'd let his hair air dry by the time he caught the ferry to Twilight Town. He grabbed his keys and cell phone off the Kitchen counter and stuck them into the left pocket of his khaki pants. He sat on the edge of the step that leads to the door way of his home. Slipping on his yellow and black sneakers while he mumbled to himself about skipping breakfast. Once his laces were tied he pushed his body up, opening the front door and locking it before it was shut once more.

Tidus jumped off the porch passing several steps on his way down. He pulled out his cell phone to see what time it was. "5:22. That gives me a little over an hour before the ferry comes. Guess I'll wander around for a bit." He sighed out thinking back on the nightmare that woke him up in a cold sweat earlier. 'What could it mean? Is it really important or should I just let it go? I'm probably worrying over nothing."

He was walking along Destiny Island's shore a little while later when a shell shining in the water caught his eye. He walked over to it but once his fingers touched the waters crystal like surface they wouldn't go through. "Just like my dre-"

Tidus was cut off by the ferry's loud horn telling him that it was here for the student pick up to Twilight Town high school. He pulled his hand away and ran up to the ferry's loading dock he was the only person there. Or so he thought, another teen about his height walked over to him. This boy had silver hair and aquamarine eyes.

"Hey there Tidus. Decided not to come here with Sora for once?" He smirked circling the blond.

"Oh hey Riku…" Tidus began, rolling his eyes. "Ah, yeah. I decided to have a little morning walk around the island."

Other students began loading the boat. A giggling red head and her jump roping friend ran up to Tidus and Riku. "Hey Kairi if it isn't the rivals actually acknowledging one another." The girl in the bright yellow dress stated.

"What a shock Selphie! I never would have guess in a million years that I would see this!" Kairi laughed out.

"Yeah, yeah. You girls say what you want." Tidus brushed them off.

A certain orange haired Blitzball player jumped onto the boat playfully punching him in the arm. "Hey man! That's no way to treat these lovely ladies, ya." He said wrapping one arm each around Selphie and Kairi, being sure to wink at them both.

Both girls shoved off his arms. "Oh grow up Wakka." Both laughing at him and walking over to the other side of the boat to discuss more import matters, such as the cheers for this weeks Blitzball game.

Wakka rubbed the back of his head walking over to Tidus, giving a high-five. "Hey bro! Where's Sora, ya? He sick or something?"

Tidus shrugged thinking about yesterday. 'Maybe that's why he isn't here.' He shook the thought off, and responded back to Wakka. "I'm not sure."

The ferry's horn blew once more signaling that is was now leaving, and was about to pull away from the dock.

"Sora's over there." Riku closed his eyes walking towards to front of the ferry to be in solitude once again. Tidus squinted his eyes, as he saw it was indeed true that Sora was running towards the boat with his younger cousin Kiira. Wakka saw as well and slapped the side of the boat and pointed Sora and Kiira out to the driver. The boat stopped and waited for them to jump on.

Both brunettes were out of breath by the time they reached the boat and got on. Both of Kirra's front locks of hair were practically stuck the side of her face as she glared at Sora. "You bone-head! We almost missed the ferry!"

Sora just rolled his eyes and stuck his tongue out back at her like she just did with him. He tapped the side of his red sneakers to get the sand off and smiled up at Tidus. "Hey! Thank God you guys saw me." He chuckled.

Wakka stared down at Kiira as she shouted. "Whatchu lookin' at?"

"Just looking at what the cat dragged in, ya."

Kiira hissed at him and kicked his leg. "Look's like what the cat dragged in just kicked your sorry ass." She smirked and saw Kairi and Selphie looking and giggling at the scene. Kiira gave them a death glare to shut their prissy mouths up and walked over to the chatting Sora and Tidus.

Poor Wakka was still kissing his knee cap where Kiira kicked him moments ago.
