((Hey, this is my first Final Fantasy X fanfic, so be kind, okay, it may suck horribly. lol, so yeah. hope you enjoy it!))

TIDUS POV...

They said that it was my story. Zanarkand being attacked, getting pretty much eaten by Sin, getting to Spira, meeting new friends, meeting Yuna. I figured out that to me, it wasn't just a story of survival, it was a story of love, and friendship too. So when I just disappeared in front of her, the angel I loved, Yuna, I felt suddenly alone, trapped in this weird portal that consumed me, bit by bit, until I was out of anyones sight. I couldn't see anything, just pure white all around. When I finally stepped out of the portal, I was back in Zanarkand. People were going around like they hadn't ever had any attack from Sin. I first found out that I had to kill Sin by Wakka. In Luca, after the Blitzball tournament, Auron told me the truth. Sin wasn't just a monster we had to kill, it was Jecht, my old man, the one who used to make fun of how I played blitzball. I hated him, and still do, because he sent me back. I didn't want to come back. I wanted to stay with Yuna, although I doubt it would've worked anyway. I hated leaving her, hated coming back, and hated not being able to change any of it...

Chapter 1

Tidus stood outside. It was night, and it was cold. But Tidus didn't notice any of it. He kept thinking of Yuna, the beautiful summoner who had been the cause of his first mistake, well, more like third mistake, in Spira. She hadn't come out of the Fayth for a day, and everyone was worried, including him. At the time, he had thought that the apprentice summoner was an old balding geezer, but when she walked out that day, his life had changed, even though it was just slightly, it had.

Now he wondered if he'd ever get to see her again. Her gentle and warming smile, her friendship, her love...

It was best not to think of her from now on. He would never think of it again, he'd live on. That's what she'd want him to do. He finally wandered onto a busy street and walked around.

"It's Tidus!" He heard some girls shriek. He looked behind him and they all gathered around him with Blitzballs in hand. "Can we have your autograph?" They asked excitedly. He smiled and nodded, taking a pen from someone and signing all the blitzballs pushed at him. More people gathered around in astonishment.

"Why is everyone looking at me that way?" He asked. They glanced at each other.

"Everyone thought you were dead." One girl chirped. The crowd looked expectantly at Tidus, waiting for an explanation. He hesitated. What if they never were attacked by Sin? What would he say?

"i was on vacation. I needed a break from blitzball for a while." The crowd gasped. "Not for good. I'm still playing. I just needed to get away from the pressure, that's all. I was getting stressed, and I don't play well when I'm stressed."

The crowd slowly dissipated as he finished signing autographs. No matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get Yuna out of his head. A distraction might work. Nah, don't do it Tidus. You'll make one of your fans hate you after you dump her. Then don't dump her. Ah, what am i thinking? He walked to his house, not daring to look up at the picture of his dad on the electronic billboards on the side of buildings. He couldn't look at it. What was he supposed to say? Sorry dad, I had to kill you in order to please my would be girlfriend and her guardians. Yeah, like that would ever happen.

He soon got home and checked his sphere messages. 109 messages. Great. He'd be here all night listening to it. He waved away that idea and went to his bed. Why was all his stuff still here? Did his coach assume that he was on vacation and use Tidus' paycheck to pay for his house rental or something? He lay down on his very comfortable water bed. He was cold, so he covered up and lay on his side, thinking of any ways he could get back. A time machine? No, that would make him have to do it all over again. But he could change the way things went. Yuna would believe him. She believed him about Zanarkand, didn't she? Well, it would be harder for her to believe that she kissed him before. Maybe she wouldn't believe. All hope was being lost. He gave up and fell asleep not long after.

Meanwhile in Spira...

Yuna slept restlessly. Her dreams were of Tidus, and she couldn't get him out of her mind. She missed him so bad. They had shared a kiss in the Zanarkand ruins not too long ago. Her dreams were of that and the memory of him leaving. Did he want to go? Had he just pretended to love her? Or was he just pulled back to his time, without wanting to? She woke up, startled. In the next bed beside her, she heard Rikku sit up.

"What's wrong Yuna?" Her cousin asked.

"Nothing, just a bad dream." She insisted.

"Another one? Was it about Tidus?" The normally hyper blonde asked. When Yuna didn't respond, Rikku got up and dressed. "Come on, get dressed, I want to show you something." Yuna sighed and got dressed. She didn't want to get up now, much less listen to her cousin babble on about nothing.

"Look, see the moon?" She asked, pointing. Of course she could see the moon. It was big, bright, and couldn't be missed. What else was there about it that would cheer her up?

"Yeah. So?" Yuna asked.

"Well let me get to that." Rikku said. "It's the same moon Tidus see's, just a thousand years in the future. He may be looking at it right now, just like you are. So you can pretend to be talking to him, and maybe he'll hear you. The moon could be like a portal." For once, her cousin made sense. Rikku put a hand on her shoulder. " I'll let you two talk." She went back to bed. "Good night!"

"Good night." Yuna said, while staring at the moon. "Are you thinking of me Tidus?"

Back at Tidus' house...

A voice echoes through his head. "Are you thinking of me Tidus?"

He shot up. "Yuna?" He called. He heard he voice in his head. Why? He stared outside. The moon was a pinkish red color. What was going on? Why was the moon red? No eclipse was sensed.

"I hope you can hear me Tidus. Rikku told me that looking at the moon may make it seem to me that you're there with me, but it's not working. It's like I'm talking to myself. If you can hear me, which is impossible, but, I love you."

Tidus looked at the moon. It began to turn back to white. So that's what's up. He stared intently at the moon and spoke. " I love you too Yuna." There was nothing for a while. She probably already went inside. But wait. She'd be able to hear me too, right? I heard her talking when I wasn't looking at the moon.

"Is that really you Tidus?" Her voice came.

"Yes." He replied happily. "It's so good to be able to hear your voice." A tear came from his eye.

"It is. I can't believe it. Rikku was right, for once." Tidus laughed at that comment. Rikku was usually dumb, but this was smart.

"Do you know any way I could get back?" He asked immedietly. There was silence. "Yuna?"

"They haven't figured out any way yet. I know, it's irritating." She said, and he could tell she was holding back tears.

"Please, don't cry. I'll look too. I know a really smart person here, and I have a lot of money too. So I'll see if he knows any way to get there. I promise you Yuna. I won't let you down." He promised.

"I won't disappoint you either." She said. "I'm going back to bed, but will you talk to me when you find a way? Or when you get an answer from that one guy?"

"I will." He said.

"Good night."

"Night."
