Woohoo! A new fic! I had a sudden inspiration for this, and NEEDED to write down this chapter before I lost that inspiration P

Notes: Yes, I know in the game Final Fantasy X that Tidus is the one who is playing in the Zanarkand Abes and that his dad, Jecht, disappeared. In this fic, however, Jecht hasn't disappeared and still remains playing in the Zanarkand Abes while Tidus plays Blitzball on his high school team. Also, Yuna doesn't have to do a pilgrimage, though her "white magic" abilities exist. Same thing with Lulu and her black magic. And at this time of the fic, Braska is out on a pilgrimage trying to defeat FIENDS; however, Sin does not exist. I know it's a little weird "
If you need further explanation, or you just feel confused, feel free to leave a review and I'll try to answer them as clearly as I can. )

And just like in my other fic, Amnesia, THE ITALICS ARE THOUGHTS!

Yuna's POV

We've known each other since we were two. Back then, we were inseparable. Back then, we were the best of friends.

Now we don't even remember each other. Now, we don't even know that the other exists… But then we saw each other again, that day. Who knew that memories would start pouring in, especially nine years later!

"Tidus!" A voice rang out.

Sighing, Tidus answered. "Yes, mother?"

Tidus Aikona, a seventeen year old boy was definitely rich. His father was, of course, the famous Jecht of the Zanarkand Abes. Considering Jecht was a famous Blitzball player, he made so much Gil in a year, and therefore, Tidus' family was never poor.

"Go with Gippal and Wakka to the village at the bottom of the hill, all right? Buy us some party foods, such as cakes and things like that. You do remember that we're hosting a party today, right? Did you already pick out a suit?" Selena, Tidus' mother, told him.

"Uh, did you say down the hill, mom? I thought you never wanted me to go down there," Tidus pointed out.

"Well, yes, however this time is an exception. We have to have decent party foods. I would've asked one of the maids to go down; however, this is their day off. So you must do it," Selena explained. "If you're not home in four hours, I'm going to call the police!" Selena walked off to one of the rooms in their mansion.

"Wait! Mom!" Tidus said, running after her. "Why do I need to go down the hill? Why can't I just go to one of the shops here?"

"All of them are closed, Tidus. They're closed on Sundays, remember?Now, why don't you just go and get it over with?" Selena asked. "Here's the Gil."

Tidus sighed and leaned against a wall. For some unknown reason to Tidus, Selena never wanted him to go down that hill. She always said, "It's so unclean there, Tidus. You'll never like it." They lived on top of the hill, where most people he's seen called "the rich section." It was true. There were mansions all over the place, and a very expensive school to go to was built, Zanarkand International School. (A/N: Yes, I am so creative with these names.)

To tell the truth, Tidus had never gone down that hill. His mother would've killed him first. And his father was never home much to argue if Tidus should go down that hill or not. Wakka had gone down the hill a few times, and so had Gippal. Their moms actually didn't care so much. 'And I always wondred why ...' Tidus thought to himself.Since Wakka and Gippal had been down there before, so that's why Selena probably wanted them to go with Tidus.

Sighing again, Tidus ran his hand through his hair – something he always did when he was tired, confused, or nervous. He dressed up in regular blue jeans, and a black shirt. 'If mom is really serious about the place being dirty, I don't want my good clothes to get messed up.'

Tidus ran out the door without bumping into his mother again, luckily. Really, Tidus loved his mother, but sometimes enough was enough. She was always caring about her riches that was all.

Gippal's house was right next door to Tidus'. Ringing the doorbell, Tidus was buzzed in. A maid opened the door for him.

"Ahh, Tidus, here again? You're looking for Gippal, right?" The maid asked.

"Yup, where is he?" Tidus asked her.

"I'm betting he is in his room, but, you can never be sure," she answered.

"All right, thanks anyways," Tidus left. He remembered the first time being in Gippal's house. He was only eight at the time, and he had gotten lost! Luckily, another maid had found him and brought him back to the front door.

But now, being seventeen, he knew Gippal's house like the back of his hand. Tidus knocked on Gippal's door.

"What is it!" Gippal said, in an annoyed tone.

"Um, Gippal? Hi. It's Tidus," Tidus said, nervously.

"Oh!" The door opened. "Sorry T." This was the nickname Tidus usually got from Gippal. "What's up?"

Tidus explained to Gippal what his mom told him.

Gippal just laughed. "You? Go down to the hill? I thought you were forbidden to go down there! Stop lying, man."

"No, really Gippal. She really needs me to go down there," Tidus said in a serious voice.

"Suuuree … but if you're lying, I'm not the one that's going to get killed by your mom," Gippal said, and headed out the door.

Tidus chased after him. "We need to tell Wakka, too. Mom wants Wakka to go as well."

The two headed over to Wakka's house, and they carried on the same conversation as Tidus and Gippal had.

"Yuna?"

"Yeah, mom?" Yuna responded.

"I need to run a few errands. Then I'm just going to have a little lunch with a few friends. Is it all right if you could handle our medicine shop for the rest of the day?" Yuna's mother, Leah, asked.

The Lesca family had been running this "medicine store" for quite a long time. The medicine store was also where they lived, right on the second floor of their store. Beginning when she was fifteen, Yuna's mother had asked Yuna to take care of the store for a long time, since she was going to be the next one to run the store.

Yuna's father, Braska, was on a pilgrimage to wipe out all the fiends. Yuna didn't think there was a possible way to destroy all the fiends, so she just liked to think of her father's "job" as trying to protect their little village at the bottom of a hill. Everyone said that their town was very poor. True, it might've been, but it was comfortable.

And, as far as Yuna knew, the community on top of the hill probably wasn't comfortable. 'Hey, riches don't count, right? As long as you're happy and comfortable, everything is fine.' She would always say to herself.

Flashback

Twelve year old Yuna stared at the top of the hill from her room's small balcony. She heard noise behind her, but she didn't care. She just wondered what it was like up there. She couldn't remember anything about that hill. Was she ever up there before?

"Yuna!" Leah exclaimed. "What are you doing?"

"Staring at the town on top of the hill, mommy," Yuna answered, not even looking behind her.

"Well, don't, Yuna," Leah said, coming to stand beside her.

Yuna looked at her mom with surprise. "Don't? Why not, mommy?"

Leah glared at the town on top of the hill, as if there was a person there staring back and glaring at her. "The people there are very obnoxious, sweetie, and its not very comfortable place to live in. You have to make, and maintain, a reputation. They're so snobby!"

"How do you know so much, mommy?" Yuna asked, amazed at her mother's knowledge.

Leah opened her mouth, about to say something, but then closed her mouth again. She spoke again, but took on an entirely different subject. "It's almost time for dinner, have you already taken a shower?"

Yuna was going to ask her mother again about how she knew, but decided not to pester her with questions. Bowing her head down in defeat, Yuna answered, "Yes mommy."

End Flashback

"Excuse me! Excuse me, m'am?" a customer yelled, snapping Yuna back to reality.

"I'm awfully sorry sir," Yuna apologized. "What would you like to buy?"

"Just these few items," the customer replied, putting the objects on the counter.

"Let's see … that's one 'White Magic – Lesson One' book, two mega potions, and three antidotes. That's a total of one hundred and fifty Gil, sir," Yuna told him.

He handed over the money. "Thanks."

"Your welcome, and come again," Yuna said, in her shopkeeper voice.

"YUNIE!" Someone came running into the shop, almost knocking over the customer and his purchases.

"Hey! Watch it!" He yelled.

"Oh, sorry," Rikku laughed nervously.

The man rolled his eyes and walked away.

"Yunie! Yunie!" Rikku said, yelling while she was right next to Yuna.

"Why are you so excited, Rikku?" Yuna said, laughing.

Lulu entered the shop. "I'm sorry, Yuna, I tried to stop her, I really did."

Yuna looked confused, "What are you talking about, Lulu?"

"Oh. She hasn't said anything yet?" Lulu looked with questioning eyes to Rikku.

"I was, until a certain someone interrupted me!" Rikku said, glaring back at Lulu. "Anyways, there are three hotties looking, well, somewhat lost around the town! Want to go help them!"

"Us? Go help them? Why should we?" Yuna asked Rikku, with the same questioning eyes Lulu had. "Besides, I have to run the shop!"

'And I never was very comfortable helping around guys ... or "hotties" in Rikku's opinion.' Yuna thought to herself.

"You see, Rikku? That's exactly what I said, Yuna," Lulu said.

"Oh well! I want to go, so you're coming with me, Lulu!" Rikku said, starting to drag Lulu out of the door.

"What!" Lulu broke free of Rikku's grip. "And Yuna gets to miss out on this torture?"

"Yup! She has to run the shop, anyways!" Rikku said, grinning at Yuna. "But you sure are missing out on a lot! Bye Yuna!"

Yuna laughed.'In my opinion, I'm actually glad that I got out of that one. But in Rikku's opinion, she must think I'm missing out in so much fun!'

That's the end of chapter one! Yes, I know it may not seem so exciting yet, but not to fear, I WILL make it more exciting! Hopefully... Anyways, review if you want an update!
