The words in italics are thoughts. I think you guys might know this by now :D

This was stupid. How was he going to find his way out of this town, now? He got separated from Gippal and Wakka! He was just walking along the dirt path, and he had seen a food store. Well, at least it looked like a food store.

"Hey, guys! Over here!" he had called to them, and he turned to walk over to the 'food store.' Turned out it wasn't a food store, just some people having their lunch outside. Tidus had rolled his eyes, and turned around, only to see his friends weren't there.

"Guys?" he had asked out loud. He went back to where they were walking. They weren't there either.

And now, here he was, lost in the last place he probably ever wanted to be. Tidus decided just to walk around the town until he found his friends. Hopefully, this would work. Hopefully. Tidus stared at his watch. It was noon. Gippal, Wakka, and himself left at eleven.

Great. He was walking around this place for a whole hour already. He just kept on walking, and as far as Tidus knew, he might as well walk in circles so he wouldn't' get lost again.

'I have to find them soon. Mom expects me back in three hours.' Tidus kept on telling himself over and over again. Tidus saw a dusty alley. 'A shortcut! Maybe they'll be on the other side!'

Tidus walked through quickly, and got through. Wakka and Gippal weren't there.

"Damn it!" he cried out in frustration. He kept on walking. He had to find them. And plus, he was getting kind of worried. What if he didn't find them? "Don't think about the negatives Tidus … think of the positives," he told himself.

Suddenly Tidus stopped walking, "This … looks familiar," he muttered to himself. He was standing right in front of a medicine shop. He saw someone inside, working at the counter. She was helping a customer out. "Maybe she can help me out! This place looks recognizable anyway… somehow it does."

"Look! There they are, Lulu!" Rikku squealed. "Oh, but there's only two."

"Oh no, Rikku. Only two!" Lulu said sarcastically. "What are we going to do now? I was really hoping there were going to be a lot of guys around."

Rikku didn't notice the sarcasm, "I know! Come on; let's see if they need help!" She grabbed Lulu's hand and started dragging her over to them.Gippal and Wakkaweren't aware of Rikku and Lulu, becausethe girlswere behind them.

"Man, we're totally lost," Gippal remarked to Wakka. "And worse, we don't even know where Tidus is!"

'His voice …' Rikku thought in her head. 'I see we're dealing with a smooth talker here.' She grinned.

Rikku coughed behind them, hoping the guys would notice her. They didn't.

"You've totally got their attention, Rikku," Lulu said, still using sarcasm.

Rikku ignored her and walked up to Wakka and Gippal, "Excuse me, but I couldn't help overhearing. Are you two lost? If you are, I think me and my friend here …"

Lulu glared at her.

"…Can help you out!" Rikku said, not even noticing the glare.

Wakka and Gippal looked at each other in confusion, but nonetheless, they were thankful. Thank Yevon that somebody was actually offering to help them! Most of the people that were living here were just staring at them as if they were the craziest human beings in the world, since Gippal and Wakka were most likely walking around and around in the same parts.

"Yeah! We're uh … looking for our friend," Gippal explained. "But we don't know where we are right now. And, our friend is probably just the same. He probably doesn't know where he is either."

Lulu spoke up for the first time since they met the guys, "You're in the un-rich part of Zanarkand. And yes, I call it un-rich, because we're not exactly very poor," Lulu eyed them. They weren't from around here. Their clothes were nice … too nice. "Where are you two from?"

"We're from the ric—Ow!" Wakka cursed under his breath as Gippal elbowed him in the ribs. Wakka shot a 'What the hell was that for?' look to Gippal. Gippal just shot a look back.

Rikku coughed again to show that they were waiting for an answer.

"Oh, uh, we're visiting Zanarkand," Gippal lied. "We're from … Luca. I'm Gippal."

Wakka nodded. Whatever Gippal wasdoing, he might as well just play along."Uh, ya! We heard Zanarkand was good at this time of year, so we decided to drop by for a while, ya? Oh, by the way, name's Wakka."

Lulu still eyed them. Why did Gippal elbow Wakka in the ribs? Were they hiding something?

Rikku accepted the fact that they were 'from Luca,' however. "Oh! Well, welcome to Zanarkand! We'll show you around! The name's Rikku by the way!" she smiled sweetly.

"Thanks, ya?" Wakka said.

"No problem!" Rikku told him. She looked at Lulu. Lulu just nodded. Rikku started walking in front of Gippal and Wakka and asked what their friend looked like. Gippal explained.

"His name is Tidus. He has blonde hair, and blue eyes. I think he was wearing something along the lines of a white shirt and jeans today?"

"We saw him this morning!" Rikku exclaimed. "We were going to Yunie's place, remember, Lulu? We saw him by there, right?"

Lulu nodded, "So he still might be around the shop. Let's go check there."

Rikku started running ahead.

"Rikku! Wait! We still have to show them to the place, they don't know where it is, don't you remember?" Lulu said.

"Oh! Right," Rikku laughed.

Wakka and Gippal were behind, not really paying attention to the conversation, as they were in their own.

"Luca? LUCA? What was that for, ya?" Wakka asked.

"Well, if they were in this … poor … section of Zanarkand, why would they like where we live? They might not! They'd probably … I don't know, cast us away? Do you know what I'm saying?" Gippal explained.

"They seem nice enough … except maybe that girlLulu, ya? She didn't even introduce herself. I only know her namebecause that's what Rikku called her, ya?" Wakka remarked.

"Exactly. We don't want to take our chances," Gippal whispered.

"Come on, you slowpokes!" Rikku called. "Don't you want to find your friend?"

Again, Wakka and Gippal looked at each other and ran to Rikku and Lulu.

Yuna's Point of View

"Thank you sir! Hope to see you again!" I said. I always said that, whenever a customer was about to leave a shop. It was something Mom taught me. She always said to thank the customer and to just show respect.

I saw another person come in. There was … something in those blue eyes of him. Something … familiar? There's just something … something that triggered my brain into thinking that somehow. Anyways, he looked lost.

"May I help you?" I asked him. He nodded and walked up to the counter. "Well, what can I help you with?"

Tidus' Point of View

I opened the door to the shop. There was someone standing there, hopefully I'd be able to ask her questions about how to get some food and where to go for that. Then I'd go right home once I got that over with.

"Thank you sir! Hope to see you again!" I heard her say. I laughed to myself. I remember a goodfriend once telling me that you should always say 'Thank you sir! Hope to see you again!' whenever a customer just purchased his or her goods so you would show the customer respect or something like that.

"May I help you?" she asked me. I nodded and went up to the counter. "Well, what can I help you with?"

"I'm a little … lost," I admitted. "I'm visiting here to get some food, but, I haven't found any food shops around here."

She smiled, "Oh! Well, I was about to get my lunch. Maybe I could show you a food shop or two before I head off?" she suggested. Thank Yevon! At least some stranger around here is nice and kind!

"Yeah! That would be great!" I grinned. Looking at my watch, I saw it was twelve thirty. I had to be back at three. Hopefully this wouldn't take long.

She went into the back to get some Gil. When she came back, she introduced herself. "I'm Yuna Lesca, by the way. And you?" Yuna started to walk to the front door.

"Tidus Aikona."

Normal Point of View

Yuna had puton a sign on the front door ofthe shopthat said 'be back around one thirty.' She nervously laughed when she heard her stomach rumble, hoping Tidus didn't hear it either. Apparently he didn't.

Yuna forced a weak smile, "Do you mind if I get my lunch first? I'm starved … I hadn't eaten breakfast. You look starved as well. I'll get you something, since I'm practically dragging you down to where I'm eating lunch," she giggled.

Tidus liked her laugh. And, well, who couldn't pass up a free lunch? Of course you have to be courteous … "A free lunch! No way, I can't accept that! I mean, we just met."

"I mean it. It's my treat. Don't you agree? Aren't I dragging you down there?" Yuna pushed.

"Well, all right then," Tidus said. "If you insist."

Yuna explained that she was going to Beclem's Smoothie Shop (A/N: Ha, if you read my other fic, Amnesia this may sound familiar.) and wondered if that was okay with Tidus.

Tidus just shrugged his shoulders. "I'm visiting, remember? I don't know any good places to eat around here."

"Oh. I forgot, sorry. It just seems as if you lived here before, or something," Yuna explained. "Anyways, Beclem's Smoothie Shop serves well, smoothies, obviously. Also hamburgers, hot dogs, the like. You know, junk food."

Tidus immediately agreed. "Sounds good to me!" His mom always made him eat proper, not to mention expensive food, like steak, escargot, and the finest pasta. Tidus hated most of the food. He'd give anything to have junk food at least once in a while. With his mom, he probably hadn't had food like hamburgers or pasta for maybe about a month.

Yuna laughed, "You sound eager," she told him. There was something about this Tidus. Something that made her trust him. And there was definitely something in those deep blue eyes of him.

'Maybe it's just because they're so handsome … what? No! Knock it off, Yuna, he's only visiting! And plus, you've just met him! Right?' Yuna thought to herself.

"Heh, it's always because my mom makes me eat all the expensive and ritzy stuff, you know? It's great to have junk food again," Tidus remarked.

Tidus felt the same way Yuna felt about him. She wassomehow trustworthy.Yuna had some peaceful aurora that surrounded her. She was naturally likeable. She was pretty, and Yevon, she was one of the nicest people Tidus has probably met. She barely knew Tidus for ten minutes, and here she was, showing him a food store and offering to get food with her. And she was paying for it!

And those sapphire blue and emerald green eyes were one of a kind. If they were, how did they look so well known to him?

Yuna raised an eyebrow, "Expensive and ritzy stuff? Really? Where are you from?"

Tidus thought hard before he answered. Maybe he shouldn't say he was from up that hill. It didn't sound right to say that, for some reason. While he was walking around this part of Zanarkand, he had heard a lady talking to her friends about living up on top of that hill. She didn't seem to appreciate the town on top of the hill. She even said nasty remarks about it. Maybe everyone else thought the same way …

"Uh, I'm from … Luca. Yeah. Luca," Tidus said, tryinghis best to sound convincing.

Fortunately, Yuna seemed convinced. "Luca? Wow, I've always wanted to go to Luca … but I never could."

'Never could?' Tidus thought. 'Hell, how many times did Mom drag me to Luca? One hundred thousand times?'

"You never could? Why not?" he asked.

"Well, my family never had much money. We can't pay enough to get to Luca," Yuna's eyes lowered to the ground.

Tidus just nodded, not knowing what else to say. Yuna decided to change the subject after a moment or two ofsilence.

"Are you visiting by yourself? Or are you visiting with your parents … or your friends?" she asked.

"I'm visiting with friends. But, I can't find them. They're probably lost too," Tidus laughed.

Yuna laughed along with him, "Why didn't you tell me? We'll go find them! What do they look like?"

'How much nicer can Yuna get? First food, then showing me how to get to a food store, now helping me find Gippal and Wakka?' Tidus thought. 'Usually whenever I'd ask someone, they would say "Touch luck, pal. Try to find your way around, like we all did." But now …' Tidus' train of thought broke off when Yuna pointed to something up ahead of her.

"Oh! There's Beclem's Smoothie Shop!"

Another chapter finished. Yay, Tidus and Yuna are going on the massive search to find Gippal and Wakka! P And Gippal and Wakka are going on the massive search to find Tidus – with Lulu and Rikku. Will they find each other? Or are they hopelessly lost in this town forever?
