Disclaimer: Alas, nothing's changed. I STILL don't own anything Final Fantasy.

Thanks to all your lovely reviews. I really appreciate them, also, I am very sorry for the slow update, but my computer completely broke. I couldn't even switch it on. But from now on, the frequency of the updates should be better, but I got my mocks. Christmas holidays should be great for updates though (I hope) as I will be so bored! Okay, thanks once again! On with the chapter…

The lesson that followed was really interesting. Yuna had never had such an exciting History lesson. She wasn't sure she should admit it to her friends though; they might tease her as they didn't really enjoy school that much. Whilst they were writing a few notes from the board, Tidus would flash her smiles when she looked up. This made her stomach feel very light and heavy at the same time, and she could feel herself burn on her cheeks. She smiled back ever time though.

When the bell went, normally the teacher would get the class to stand behind their desks, and then they would dismiss them when they were quiet, but Auron just said "see you lot on Wednesday then" and departed. Rikku and Yuna exchanged glances before they laughed. They shoved their seats under the desk and left. The whole class was a little shocked, but happy it was break.

Tidus leaned over to Yuna while they were waiting to get out of the door and said,

"He always does that. He was our teacher when we were at the Boys' School. We all suspect it's so he can get to the lunch queue first."

Yuna giggled and smiled at Tidus, who returned the smile.

"Come on!" yelled Rikku in Yuna's ear, and Yuna was then dragged away by Rikku, who didn't stop until she was at their lockers where Paine and Lulu were waiting.

"How was History?" asked Lulu.

"Amazing!" replied Rikku, who then went into a long explanation about Auron being the coolest teacher, and how working with guys was really fun, and how history was now her favorite subject, and then finally how she needed the toilet, all in the space of about 20 seconds.

They all headed off to the toilets, and then went to find food. By the time they had just finished their crisps etc, the bell went for the next lesson. They all rolled their eyes at each other, and headed off in different directions. Yuna went by herself to Art.

When she entered, she sat in her usual seat, which was by herself, at the back, near the window. This wasn't because Yuna didn't have any friends, she knew quite a few people in the school, and got on pretty well with them too, it was just that she felt it was easier to work on her own, and to concentrate. She also liked to look out of the window, because the view wasn't bad. They were on the 3rd storey, so she could just see the sea.

The teacher entered the classroom along with some more students. There were more desks added here and there for the new additions to the school. Last year there had been 14 in the group, but Yuna supposed there might be about 25ish this year. She wasn't really pleased about this because she liked small classes, but as there was nothing she could do about it, she might as well enjoy the idea that there would be more ideas given about the work they would look at.

Yuna wondered whether Wakka, Tidus or Gippal would be in this class. Uncannily, as if she had asked the question out loud, Tidus walked through the door. He glanced round the class, and then made for where Yuna was sat. Yuna froze. She felt very warm all of a sudden, and glanced at the window next to her. It was shut; it never opened, no matter how hard you tried.

"Hey Yuna, do you mind if I sit with you?" Yuna heard Tidus ask. She looked at him and saw him standing in front of her. The light streaming in through the windows lighted his hair and made it look almost ethereal. His pacific blue eyes met hers, and she couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Y-yeh. Sure," she replied.

"Thanks," said Tidus, as he dumped his bad under the desk and took the seat next to Yuna's.

"Can I see your work?" asked Tidus as he pointed to Yuna's folder that was on the desk, "so I can see what you did last year?"

"Errrrrr," said Yuna quietly as she searched her thoughts. She didn't want to let Tidus see her work, but she didn't have a very good reason not to.

"Don't worry," he said, "I won't laugh. You can see mine if it would make you feel better," he added.

Yuna bit her lip nervously and handed her folder over. Tidus offered his, and she took it. She opened it, and was surprised. She had always had the idea the boys weren't that good at art, and if they were, it was pretty rare. Especially, she thought, if they were good at sport, as the two didn't usually go hand in hand, but there before here, contradicting her previous thoughts, was an exquisite picture of a sword. It's blade was embedded in the earth, and one side was very old and rusty, and the other side was new. The view from the cliff where the sword was also reflected this, and one side was of a ruined city, and the other side was of a busy city, all lit up and busy. She smiled. He clearly had a lot of talent.

"These are amazing," said Yuna quietly.

"Thanks," said Tidus, "I just love your picture of the sea and the sunset. It's from this window, yeah? Well, it's just perfect."

"Thanks," said Yuna, blushing.

The teacher hushed the class, and told them their first assignment, which was to draw each other, just to get them drawing people, and remembering the skills they were taught last year.

"It's probably best if you draw the person next to you," she added, "that would avoid unnecessary movement."

Everybody got out pens and paper and started drawing. Tidus grabbed a very old looking pencil and a piece of fairly thick paper. Yuna got out several pencils, some coloured, but most just graphite, and three erasers.

"Oh, you haven't got a rubber. You can borrow one if you want," she said when she noticed Tidus's lack of equipment.

"Oh, that's okay, but thanks," he replied. Yuna look confused for a moment, but shrugged it off. "Do you want to go first, or shall I?" he asked.

"Errr, what ever you want," said Yuna.

"I'll go first then," he smiled, "Can you sit slightly to the side, it just makes the light interesting on your hair."

Yuna obliged, and Tidus started drawing. She watched his movements for a moment, before he screwed up the paper, and looked carefully at Yuna.

"I've changed my mind," he explained.

After about 2 minutes of arranging the furniture, Yuna was sat under the window, on her chair, with her head and arms on the desk, but her eyes on Tidus. As if she were sleeping, but with her eyes open. The light was still shining on her hair and face.

"Perfect," said Tidus.

He started to work very very quickly. He kept glancing at Yuna, and she noticed his eyes were so full of colour, they almost over whelmed her. She tired to keep as still as possible. Tidus's brow furrowed in concentration, as his hand movements got smaller. She noticed that he couldn't have made a mistake, because he hadn't rubbed out any lines. She was so excited to see what it looked like, but so nervous too. She would have to draw him next. What would she do? She could never capture his perfect appearance, and if, by chance, she did, would he think that she had feelings for him if the picture was too complimentary? Her mind was full of thoughts, and what seemed like second after she had thought them, Tidus said,

"I've finished."

Yuna raised her head from the desk and held out her hand for the picture.

Tidus smiled a cheeky smile.

"Oh no! You have to draw me first, and then I'll show you."

Yuna froze. What would she do? How would she know how to draw him, if she couldn't see what he had done?

"Oh……..errrr…..ok," she said.

"Where do you want me to sit? If you do want me to sit…that is," asked Tidus.

Yuna thought for a moment. She had loved what the light had done to his hair when he had stood in front of her desk at the start of the lesson. She suddenly had an idea.

"Okay, do you mind standing for a while?" she asked.

Tidus shook his head, so Yuna moved the desk and chair away, and pointed to the spot where she wanted him to stand. He was just in front of the window, and the way the light was so bright, so could hardly see his features. The light was fantastic though. She took a digital camera out of her pocket (she liked to keep one with her because she loved to see something amazing, like how sometimes the clouds would make amazing shapes, and she wanted to be able so see if forever) and took a picture. She looked at the display and was pleased. There was an amazing light all around Tidus's head and neck and shoulders. The shadow on the floor was very long, and it looked really good opposite Tidus's shining body. His features on his face weren't very clear, because of the light, but they were enough to look get the effect she had wanted, and somehow his eyes had remained very clear, so the blue contrasted with the white light and golden hair really well. She thought he almost looked like an angel. Not a cutesy one that many people thought of, but a strong one, tall and fair.

He smiled as she dropped her arms. She walked over to the computer in the corner of the room, and quickly printed out the picture. She returned to the table when she was done.

"Okay," she said.

Tidus smiled and handed his picture over, face down. Yuna did the same. Their eyes met as they exchanged glances. Yuna's heart was thumping so loudly, she was sure he could hear it, and she felt her cheeks grow hot, yet again.

She looked down and turned over the paper….

Yet again, I'm sorry for the late update.

ShalBrenfan: Thanks for your really kind words. Have fun too and thanks for reviewing.

Star Cherry: Sorry about the wait. Hope you liked this one!

Dancing Summoner: Was it long enough? Sorry if it wasn't, I just thought it should end there.

I really had a picture in my head of how Yuna's picture looked; I just hope everybody did too! Also, I would be really interested to know everyone's favourite FF pairings. Just out of interest!

Thanks for reading. I would love to hear what you think. Until next time then!
