Tidus sat on the jetty next to Yuna, who was resting her head on his shoulder, and stared out across the calm waters surrounding Luca. In the couple of months since Yuna had defeated Vegnagun, Tidus, who had been wandering Spira trying to find her, had finally met up wth Kimahri, who told him where she was. They had met up again, and Tidus explained that because the aeons had returned, he was brought back too. Only the Fayths had made his return permanent. So they had moved to hire for a while, to one of the few places in Spira where Tidus and Yuna were comfortable. They stayed out here a lot, just watching the sunsets. Out of the corner ofh is eye, Tidu noticed another airship come flying across the horizon. It didn't really interest him, but he watched it anyway. Suddenly, he felt Yuna's head lift away from his shoulder.
"It's the Gullwings!" she cried. Tidus squinted, and then he could make out the red coat of the Celsius. Yuna stood up and dragged Tidus to his feet. "Thye must have heard about you entering the tournament. Oh I wonder if they brought Wakka and Lulu with them? Oh, and little Vidina!" Tidus laughed as Yuna turned and ran into their house. He turned and followed her in, coming out of the front of their house just as the Celsius landed. The entrance door opened, and Rikku came bounding out, followed by a lot less bouncy Paine. Buddy, Brother and Shinra, brought up the rear, along with Wakka and Lulu. Tidus looked closely, and and saw Vidina snuggled up in Wakka's arms. Everyone greeted everyone else, and in a matter of seconds, Wakka had lost Vidina, who ended up with Yuna.
"So, I heard you're going in the fight tournament, ya?" asked Wakka.
"I haven't had much to do lately," replied Tidus. Wakka nodded.
"Oh, you have to stay with us," said Yuna quickly. Tidus tapped Yuna on the shoulder.
"Yuna, we only have three bedrooms." Yuna looked thoughtful for a second.
"I know, one bedroom for Paine and Rikku, one bedroom for Wakka and Lulu, and Brother, Buddy and Shinra can sleep on the ship right next to the house."
"WHAAAAT?" cried Brother. "Out on the ship?"
"Got a problem with that?" asked Tidus, his voice dropping dangerously low. He hadn't like Brother much ever since he found out about the crush he had on Yuna.
"No, nononononononono." Brother turned around and walked back to the ship. "E tuh'd pameaja drec..." Tidus smiled and turned back to the rest of the visitors, and invited them in for dinner.
Stree stood on the deck of the ship, watching as the bright lights of Luca grew brighter.
"Soon, Tidus. Soon, I'll see you again. Then you can pay for what you did." He looked down at his feet. "Not that you'd probably remember." He looked up again and watched the clouds for a second, before turning and walking back into the ship.
