There seems to be some confusion as to where this takes place. FFHS does not take place in the FFX world . It takes place in ours. The town this story takes place in is just a mix of all the Californian cities and towns I've visited. Hope this clears some things up.
Tidus very hesitantly left the pool with Chappu.
"Don't worry. I'll take good care of you." Chappu said, tossing a towel to Tidus. "Besides Lulu will kill me if I don't."
The blonde smiled somewhat. He dried off and redressed. It felt kind of weird wearing semi-damp boxers under his clothes, but he knew he wasn't the only one suffering. Chappu looked slightly uncomfortable too. The two boys then set off to find Gippal. They found him in an upstairs hallway making out with Rikku. Baralai was a few feet away mingling. Chappu shook his head and nudged at Gippal's foot. The blonde broke the kiss and looked the two. He seemed surprised to see Tidus.
"Where's Lulu?" He asked.
"Writing songs with Paine." Chappu replied.
Gippal nodded and motioned for Baralai to come over.
"Come. Let us drink. You coming Rikku-babe?"
Rikku nodded and they all followed Gippal to his room. He got out his hidden stash of alcohol and handed a bottle of hard lemonade to Tidus.
"Tastes funky, but you'll get used to it." Gippal said.
Tidus nodded and opened the lemonade, taking a small sip. It burned all the way down to his stomach and he coughed.
"Good, huh?" Chappu chuckled.
"We should play 'Truth, Dare, or Drink'." Rikku said.
"What's that?" Tidus asked.
"Truth or Dare except you have to drink any time you don't want to answer a truth or perform a dare." Baralai explained.
"I'm game." Gippal said.
"Me too." Chappu nodded.
Baralai nodded and they all looked at Tidus.
"Okay I guess." He said.
"Great. Chappu you go first." Gippal replied.
"Why me?"
"Because it's my party."
"Fine. Tidus, truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Okay..." Chappu was stumped so he asked the first thing that popped into his mind. "Where'd you learn how to swim like that? You're a better swimmer than Wakka even."
"My mother taught my brother and I to swim and surf when we were very young. She used to be a famous surfer in fact."
"What's her name?" Baralai asked.
"Maya Spardas."
Tidus shifted uncomfortably as everyone stared at him. Chappu's mouth dropped open a bit.
"THE Maya Spardas?" Gippal finally exclaimed. "You're the son of THE Maya Spardas!"
Tidus' cheeks flushed slightly and he nodded. He'd forgotten just how famous his mother had been.
"Dude...wow. Just...wow..." Gippal murmured.
"Totally..." Rikku blinked.
Gippal then remembered the last article he'd ever read about THE Maya Spardas. She had died after being in a car accident.
"Sorry for what...happened to her." Gippal said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Thank-you." Tidus replied.
'Truth, Dare, or Drink' was abandoned. The fivesome continued to talk about Maya and surfing as they drank.
------------------------
An hour later Lulu was looking for Tidus. She'd finished writing songs with Paine and the girl had gone home. The brunette knew something was up when a very nervous Chappu walked up to her.
"Please don't kill me."
"What did you do?" Lulu asked.
"Tidus is so drunk. Drunker than me. He is the drunkest."
Lulu frowned. Chappu seemed to be pretty wasted. She couldn't even imagine how drunk Tidus was.
"I'm going to kill you...so very slowly and so very painfully..."
"You're so totally morbid." He whispered.
"I'm also stupid for trusting you." Lulu snapped, walking off. She had a hunch as to where Tidus was.
"Oh man." Chappu groaned. "I blew it."
Lulu walked upstairs and headed for Gippal's room.
Stupid, stupid, stupid! Why did I leave Tidus with him?
The girl opened the door to Gippal's room and sighed. Rikku was passed out face first on Gippal's bed. Gippal and Baralai were drunkenly playing Street Fighter while Tidus lay on the floor looking sick.
"How many drinks did you give him?" Lulu asked.
"Six...seven...eight...? I don't remember." Gippal replied, laughing slightly.
"I am so wasted!" Tidus declared from the floor.
The brunette sighed and shook her head.
"We should get you home."
"Okay nice lady!"
Lulu sighed once more and helped Tidus stand up. He swayed on his feet slightly but managed to remain standing. She lugged him downstairs and outside into the rain. She let him stand there for a moment, hoping the coldness of the rain would sober Tidus up a bit. It seemed to make him a little more alert and she herded him into the car. She buckled him in then got in herself.
"I'm sorry, Tidus." She said. "I hope you don't get caught because of this."
"Because of what?" Tidus asked with a goofy smile.
Lulu sighed, buckled up, and drove off.
"What I mean is...I'm sorry I left you with that knuckle head."
"S'ok."
The rain was starting to pick up somewhat. The storm was getting worse. Tidus' stomach lurched more and more with every curve Lulu went around and every hill they went up and down.
"Pull over. Going to be sick." He said quickly.
Luckily they were just coming to a rest stop on the long winding road. Lulu quickly pulled into the rest stop and Tidus drunkenly fumbled with his seat belt. His stomach lurched again, hard. The blonde couldn't get his seat belt undone so he opened his door and leaned out as far as he could. While he dry heaved Lulu reached over and undid the his seat belt for him. She winced as he fell out of the car, crawled over to some bushes, and finally vomited.
Lulu got out of the car and crouched behind the blonde. She rubbed his back as Tidus puked three more times. After a while the dry heaves subsided as well and he sat back, wiping his mouth.
"Running on empty now?" She teased lightly.
Tidus laughed and nodded. "Yeah...and I'm still wasted."
"That you are. Let's get you home."
They sat in the car and waited for Tidus' stomach to settle down before driving off again. Tidus was a pretty good drunk. He wasn't surly, violent, or touchy-feely. He was just kind of...placid, giggly, silly, and sickly all rolled into one. He turned green a few more times on the way back, but never told Lulu to pull over.
"Should I help you get back in your house?" Lulu asked as they pulled into town.
"Nah. I'll be ok." Tidus replied.
"Are you sure?"
"Yuppers!"
"What's your address?"
It took ten minutes of thought before Tidus remembered. "26 Papaya Dr."
"I'm 32 Palm Ave." Lulu replied. "Man I hate the street names in this town. They're so...touristy."
"Vive la touriste!" Tidus blurted out.
"Live the tourist?" The girl laughed, heading for Tidus' street.
"Sí...yes...live the tourist." The blonde giggled.
Lulu laughed again and shook her head. She hoped he wouldn't get caught or sneak into the wrong house.
"What time izzit?" Tidus asked.
"Some time after midnight."
"Rin should be in bed then...that is if he doesn't know I snuck out."
Lulu parked across the street from Tidus' house and he breathed a sigh of relief. The porch light wasn't on. Rin didn't know.
"Are you sure you don't need help?"
"I'm sure. G'night nice lady!"
"Goodnight nice Tidus." The girl replied with a chuckle.
"Oh...my clothes..."
"It's ok-"
Before Lulu could finish Tidus got out of the car and was stripping in the middle of the street.
"Tidus!" She hissed...while trying not to laugh.
"What?" He grinned.
The blonde put Jaime's clothes on the seat beside Lulu and dressed in his own clothes. He put his shirt on backwards and inside out but Lulu said nothing. She just bid goodnight to her friend again and watched him stumble off. The girl decided to wait and see what happened. If there was a scream and Tidus came running then she'd know he'd snuck into the wrong house.
Shuyin raised an eyebrow as his brother came tumbling through the window. He did it rather quietly, but Shuyin had never known his brother to ungracefully tumble. Then he noticed the blonde's shirt.
"Are you drunk?" He asked with an amused grin.
"Nooooooo..." Tidus giggled.
"You are so."
"I so am..."
Tidus laughed and Shuyin shushed him.
"Quiet. You'll wake R 'n' A up."
"National Rifle Association?" Tidus blinked.
Shuyin laughed softly. "That's NRA, Tidus. I'm talking about R 'n' A, our parents."
"Ohhhhh...! Those guys!"
Shuyin shook his head and got up out of bed. "Let's get you changed and into bed. School tomorrow."
"I'm wasted." Tidus informed his brother.
The older blonde chuckled and started pulling his brother's shirt off. "I noticed."
Shuyin yanked Tidus' shirt off and the younger blonde fell on his butt.
"Man...you're soaking." Shuyin tossed the wet shirt onto the nearest chair.
"I had to puke." The blonde replied, lying back on the carpet.
"Lovely."
Shuyin took off Tidus' shoes and socks before unbutton/zipping his brother's jeans and working them off his hips.
"Ass up or I'll never get your pants off."
"Shuyin...how dirty..." Tidus giggled, but lifted his bum up anyway.
Shuyin rolled his eyes and pulled Tidus' jeans off. He hung them over the chair as well then grabbed a beach towel and draped it over Tidus.
"Dry off." He said.
"Fine, fine. Bossy..." Tidus muttered, drying himself off.
"And you take your boxers off. I ain't doing that."
Tidus zipped his boxers off and shot them into the dirty laundry hamper like they were a rubber band. Shuyin rolled his eyes and threw a dry pair of underwear at Tidus.
"Put those on."
"Yes master."
Tidus' skin was still slightly damp so he wrestled to get his boxers on for about fifteen minutes. Shuyin meanwhile was trying not to laugh his ass off. Once Tidus finally got his boxers on Shuyin helped Tidus stand then helped him dress in a pair of thin cotton sleeping pants and a white T-shirt.
"Feel better? Warmer?" Shuyin asked.
"Yup!" Tidus nodded. "Guess what, Shu-Shu...!"
"What?"
"You look like me...'cept older..."
Shuyin stared at his brother. "Tidus?"
"Yeah?"
"Remind me to go drinking with you."
"Okie!"
"Now...it's sleepy time. Shu-Shu and Tidus have school tomorrow."
"School..." Tidus whined. "How boring."
"My thoughts exactly. Now get in bed."
Shuyin held the covers up for Tidus and the blonde slipped into his bed with a happy sigh. The older sibling grabbed their trash can and moved it close to Tidus' bed.
"If you have to be sick during the night and you don't think you'll make it to the washroom use the trash." He said.
"Okie..." Tidus mumbled, already half asleep.
Shuyin brushed some hair out of his brother's eye then kissed his cheek.
"Goodnight T. I love you."
"L...o...ve you...nmmmn...too..." The younger blonde murmured, falling asleep.
"My brother...tonight he is a man..." Shuyin chuckled.
Shuyin turned their fan off so it wouldn't chill Tidus then got into his own bed. The blonde pulled the sheet up to his chin and snuggled in, falling asleep almost instantly.
Tidus is so gonna feel all those drinks in the morning (evil giggle). R&R Please .
