Chapter 9

All the friends have been assigned to the committee to decorate Besaid Beach for the prom. Everyone has already asked each other, Tidus asked Yuna, Gippal had asked Rikku, Baralai had asked Paine, Cloud asked Aerith, and Jason had asked Krystal. Ever since those weeks, at the winter resort, Tidus and Yuna have been gotten closer and closer together. Yuna still hadn't asked Jason any questions about her past. She wasn't worried as much as she use to be. The young female seemed to be at ease now that she knew a whole lot more about her past.

"She has a lighter burden to carry now." Jason's deep voice informed.

"That's great to hear." Paine said then asked, "So…you told her about your past?"

"No completely, but she knows more then she use to."

"Good. You will tell her about the other things right?"

"You're starting to get on my case like Lulu. I'll tell her when I feel like it or she asks."

"Okay." Came her simple answer.

Tidus was chasing Yuna around because she had messed up his hair. She was giggling and he was cursing under his breath. Soon Cloud walked up to Jason with Aerith caressed in his arms.

"I see you two are getting along without mischief." Greeted Jason.

"You can't really say that." Cloud whispered into Jason's ear only to get a playful hit from Aerith.

"How are you Aerith?" Cloud's almost carbon copy asked.

"Just fine how have you and Krystal been?"

"Did someone call me?" interrupted a familiar voice.

"I'll leave that up to her." He whispered in Aerith's direction.

'okay' she mouthed back.

"So did anyone call me?" Krystal inquired.

"I think Yuna could use some help controlling that boy over there." Paine informed walking up to the group.

"Hey Tidus, get a room!" Krystal yelled. By this time Tidus had tackled Yuna (gently) and was rolling around on the ground.

"Hey, I wouldn't be talking if I were you." came Tidus' reply, which caused her to hush up and turn many shades of red and pink.

Soon everyone got together and started planning what they were going to do for the Prom. After a few suggestions, they were finally able to come up with a plan. They would have most of the light, be little torches; the moon would be the rest of the lighting. They would have glass tables for people to sit at, and for the refreshments. A stage would be set up were the beach starts. There will be a King and Queen of the prom. All the girls emphasized that part. All the guys didn't really care.

"Why don't you girls come up with the crown designs?" Called the boys from a safe distance.

"THAT WOULD BE SO COOL!" all girls screamed with delight.

"We're dead." All the boys whispered.

Quietly the boys ran for their lives and into their rooms and locked the doors, but Tidus and Jason hid in there cars. They had made it to safety before the girls would pelt them with questions and use them as experiments. Well soon days past, the sunset, the sun rose, and preparations for the prom were in effect. When the Prom was about a month away Jason asked a question to Yuna, Krystal, and Tidus.

"Hey, why don't you three move in with me? I have too big of a house, I don't think you have a place to stay after graduation, and I could use the company."

"We have all seen your house and it's quite small. Not only that it's sort of creepy." commented Krystal.

"That's because that's the only part I let you see." countered Jason.

"Oh really…then show us."

"Fine."

Jason suddenly pulled out a tube about the size of a bat, and pulled out big blue sheets of paper. They were the blue prints to his house.

"My house is divided into 4 sections; each section has a bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, work area for school, arcade room, and theater. I designed it so that Cloud, Aerith, Yuna, and I could live in it when we were younger, but I could take care of Yuna legally, and as for Cloud and Aerith, they lived in it until Cloud left with her because he was finally able to find a place live. I have the best security. Nothing can get in without being caught. You would be perfectly protected, plus I only have a couple of servants for company. So what do you think?"

The girls got into a little huddle and began to discuss stuff.

"Hey, Tidus do you think this is a little creepy." asked Jason curiously.

"Well sort of, but if they decide they will, were will we all be living."

"Well we will be on this half of the house. They will be living on the other side. Just so you know there is a secret door that will lead to Yuna's room. There is a gym in the backyard. There are tons of things you can do, so you will never get bored."

Finally the girls broke there little huddle.

"It depends…where are we going to sleep? How will our stuff get there? Do we have a hot tub in the bathroom?"

"To answer your first question: you will live in the east side of the house. You each get your own rooms. You also get your well wanted privacy. There are cameras in every room and they are voice activated so you can turn them off if you want. To answer your second question your stuff is already there, plus a couple of surprises. Thirdly, yes you do have a hot tub/jacuzzi in your bathrooms." He answered with a surprised look as the girls almost suffocated him with hugs, which is hard to imagine since he is stronger than both of them.

Days later the beach was completely ready for the prom, the only problem was that the prom wasn't for another half month. All it needed was the people. The girls went shopping for dresses. But the guys decided to go in armor. They thought it would be awesome if they went in armor. The armor they were thinking of was hard to come by, for it was strong but it doesn't make a sound; plus even though it is near skin tight, it is quite flexible. Luckily Jason could provide them with this armor. He worked on the sets of armor for a few weeks, but he had his specially made.

-Meanwhile with the Girls-

They had scattered throughout the store searching for the perfect dress.

Aerith- She choose a light pink dress that flowed to the floor, it was sleeveless dress with a slit from the middle of her thigh that ran down the right side. Next she had boots that came up to about her knee. Lastly she decided that she would have her hair put up in a bun.

Krystal- (Author: If you know Bellandy from Oh My Goddess, she bought that dress except for the blue and yellow part of the dress it is black and silver. Look it up if you don't know what I'm taking about.) Then she wore the necklace that Jason had given her before she had been taken from the winter resort. Next she would put her mid-length hair in a pony tail.

Paine- picked a dress similar to Lulu's, and kept her hair in its usual state.

Rikku- (Author: Everyone knows that Rikku's type of dress can only be explained by the word SKIMPY.) of course she got the usual yellow dress with no back, showed her stomach, a most of her legs and arms. She wanted to have her hair in the way she usual does in FFX-2.

Yuna- Yuna wore a night-time sky-blue dress. The front of it was cut in a sharp V which only showed a little cleavage. The dress, than had a slit on both sides, that were from the knee down. She was going to have her hair the way she does in FFX-2.

The boys think that the girls don't need make up, because they are beautiful just the way they are, but you all know how girls always insist wearing the stuff.

-The Night of the Dance-

All girls were picked up by the 'knights in shining armor'. Most of the guys picked the girls up in cars but as for Cloud, Tidus, and Jason picked theirs up with white mustangs (horses not cars!). When everyone met at the beach, they all stood there; taking in the sight of what the girls had come up with and set up.

"WOW!" Tidus exclaimed, "You girls really know how to make our last prom awesome."

"Thanks." they giggled.

Suddenly hundreds of kids screeched up in their cars with their dates. Then the DJ started the music. All the students began to dance except for Tidus and Yuna who were sitting on a bench watching the sunset.

"It's so beautiful." She whispered so only he could hear.

He pulled her closer to her, "But you're more beautiful." He commented with a slight smile.

They sat there in silence while Rikku hide in a bush taping what was going on. When Yuna let out a sign he asked "Is something wrong?"

"Well aren't you going to kiss me?"

He was taken back by this. He didn't know she wanted him to kiss her.

"Do you want to?"

Before she could answer he had placed her on his lap and started to passionately kiss her. At first she was stiff, but soon she relaxed herself and allowed him to explore her mouth. After breaking their kiss she thought the night couldn't get any better. A clumsy boy went up onto the stage and cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention. Before long every young adult, was present, except for Jason. He went behind a tree and pulled out his phone.

"Hey Sephiroth."

"Hey Jason, what's going on?"

"The College Prom. Do you think you could come over here?"

"I don't know let me check my schedule…I guess I could. Why do you ask?"

"I sense strong hatred in air." his deep voice answered, "I think it is almost Time."

"Okay. I'll be there as fast as I can."

"Thank you."

"Who was that?" came the loving voice of his date.

"No one in particular." he plainly said.

"We are about to clarify the King and Queen of our 20th Annual Prom!"

A silence went over the crowd, every ear anxiously to hear if any of them had been chosen.

"Let's get started…first the QUEEN IS…Yuna!"

Her surprised reaction obviously showed that she didn't know she was that popular. The crowd was in an uproar. Clapping and appraisals could be heard throughout the entire beach as she walked up onto the stage.

"And now…the KING IS…Jason!"

He too was surprised. He looked in Tidus' direction. His sad expression sent knives into Jason's heart.

'Poor Tidus…He deserves to be chosen! Not me!' he rationalized in his thoughts.

Sorry to leave you people hanging once again. I just had to stop there. So come back if you want to see how it ends. Please review!
