NOTICE!!! Okay I just want to say that after this chapter I'm going to put this story on hold because all I've been writing recently is this story and some fans of my other stories are getting a little impatient and want me to update some of my other stories so once that is done I'm coming right back to this story for a few more chapter but you have to bear the wait. Sorry, whelps enjoy the chapter.
Wednesday. December 19th
Later that day
It was nearly 6:00pm that day and was freezing cold outside. Tidus began to walk down his street towards home. His eye hurt like hell and was swelling up. He kept his hand over it to keep it warm but it didn't help much. Tidus clothes and body both stunk and he couldn't wait to get home.
"Tidus!!!" Wakka shouted from down the street.
Tidus was a bit mad at Wakka for leaving him so he just continued on walking.
"Whew!" Wakka pouted. "Hey, are you okay? Geez you smell. I was on my way to help you but then I met Lu on my way and---holy shit, look at your eye! It's bruised pretty bad." Wakka told him.
"Oh so is Lulu more important then you're best friend now?" Tidus asked angrily.
"Hey, c'mon now. I didn't say that." Wakka replied.
"It sure sounded like it." Tidus told him.
"Hey, I'm sorry, ya?" Wakka said.
"I was stuck in that dumpster for 3½ hours waiting for you! You know how cold it was!? If it wasn't for the janitor I could have been stuck in there for who knows how long." Tidus complained.
"Yeah well, when I went to get some help, I saw Lu and she looked pretty sad so I wanted to know what happened and all so we ended up talking for a bit and it turns out that Yuna told Cid about the baby and he seemed pretty upset. Lulu and Rikku we're asked to leave while the two talked and all. But the best part of the news is that I got a date with her for tonight! Isn't that great or what!?" Wakka explained.
"Yeah, good job there Wakka." Tidus replied sarcastically.
"I'll make it up to you Tidus. Promise. But you do know how much I like Lu, ya? This might be my big chance." Wakka replied.
"Okay, okay. I forgive you." Tidus told him but then quickly stopped walking and turned around.
"What's wrong?" Wakka asked.
"Lenne and Rikku are coming. I can't let Lenne see me with a black eye!" Tidus replied.
"Well it's not like you can't hide it from them forever." Wakka said as the two girls approached him and Tidus.
"Hey Wakka! Hey Tidus!" Rikku said.
Wakka turned around. "Hey girls. Say, what are two beautiful people such as yourselves out here in the coldness of December?" He asked.
"Wakka, you're so funny. Actually, My pop's kicked me out of the house so he could talk with Yunie and I found Lenne on my way to the mall so we're going together now." Rikku explained. "WHEW!!! What is that smell!? Smells like someone has been going through garbage or something.
Lenne looked over at Tidus who was turned to the side so they couldn't see his whole face. "Tidus? Is something wrong?"
"Uh-- no. Why do you think something is wrong?" Tidus asked nervously.
Lenne placed her hand on his cheek and turned his head so it was facing her and Rikku. "Oh my God, Tidus what happened to you? Are you okay?"
"Uhhh......Well......" Tidus began.
"Seymour beat the crap outta him then locked him in one of the school dumpsters." Wakka finished.
"Wakka!!" Tidus wined.
"What? They were gonna find out anyways." Wakka replied.
"Seymour did that? What a freak!" Rikku said.
"Why would Seymour do such a thing?" Lenne asked.
"I don't know. He told me to stay away from Yuna so I think it probably has something to do with her." Tidus replied.
"Well, I'll talk with her tonight about that." Rikku told him.
"Thanks." Tidus replied.
"You should get home and wash up Tidus." Lenne told him with a smile.
"Yup, we're on our way now. See ya girl's later then." Wakka said then walked off with Tidus.
"Well I would come in and all, but I got a date with Lu in an hour so I have to get ready and stuff. I'll come by afterwards to see how you're doing, okay?" Wakka told him.
"Yeah, I'd like that. Thanks." Tidus replied.
"Cool, well, wish me luck. See ya later." Wakka said then left, walking down the street towards his house.
Tidus then walked into his house and took off his shoes, coat and school bag.
Jecht was watching T.V but was distracted from the stench that Tidus brought into the house.
"What the HELL is that smell!?" Jecht yelled, not looking over the couch.
"It's just me, dad." Tidus replied.
"Why the hell are you late? School ended, ehhuh, 4 hours ago. Now go and take a shower before I beat you're ass." Jecht told him.
"Yea, I'll get right on it." Tidus replied as he walked upstairs.
He then made his way into the bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror. Seymour had punched him pretty bad but not as bad as he thought. It would heal in a few days. Afterwards, Tidus took a 20 minute shower, to get that garbage smell off his skin. As he showered, he thought of many things. Yuna had told Cid about the baby and he reacted furiously. Wonder how Jecht would react. Probably violently. But he had to tell him eventually. It wasn't something that you could hide from your father forever.
After his shower, he changed into some clean cloths and headed downstairs into the kitchen.
"Dad, what's for diner?" Tidus asked as he searched through the fridge.
"What do I look like, your personal 'cordon bleu'? Cook something yourself." Jecht replied.
"Fine!" Tidus said angrily. "I will."
"So what movie do you wanna see?" Wakka asked as he and Lulu stood inside the theatre looking at all that was playing. "Return of the Outraged Shoopuf?"
"Argh, anything except that." Lulu replied.
"Well what do you wanna see?" Wakka asked.
"How about 'Gone With The Chocobo's?'" Lulu suggested.
'Gone With The Chocobo's? That's a chick flick. I wanted to see Shoopuf's taking over Spira---wait a minute. Chick Flicks usually mean making out. Hmmmmmmm, it might not be so bad after all.' Wakka thought.
"Okay. Gone With The Chocobo's it is then." Wakka told Lulu.
Lulu gave Wakka a small smile then walked in the theatre with him.
"You think Yuna and Cid are done talking?" Lenne asked as she and Rikku approached the house with bags filled with new clothes.
"Can't say. Hopefully things will be okay." Rikku replied as they entered the house.
As the two girls dropped all their bags, they found Yuna sitting quiet in the living room alone.
"Yunie!" Rikku said as she ran over and sat down beside her. "What happened!? Is everything going to be okay? What did pops say to you?" Rikku asked all at once.
Lenne came walking over and sat down as well. "Rikku, not so many questions at once! If she doesn't want to talk then let her be by herself."
"No its okay." Yuna began. "I would like to tell you."
"Well start talking! We have clothes for you to try on!" Rikku told Yuna.
Yuna smiled. "Well, uncle Cid was very upset and I don't blame him. He told me that.........he didn't know what to do with me for now but he's thinking on it."
Yuna sighed. One thing leading to another and Yuna didn't know how to handle all the pressure. The fight with Tidus, the unbearable talk with her uncle. It was more then what she could describe to the two. All Yuna wanted to do was burst into tears and run into someone's arms. Anyone's arms, so that she didn't have to feel so alone and scared anymore. But, knowing herself, it's best if she kept it to herself for now.
"It must be hard." Lenne told Yuna. "If I were you right now I would be so terrified, not knowing what to do or who to turn to."
Yuna looked down.
"Lenne!!! Don't make it worse you cheeseburger!!!" Rikku said. She then looked back at Yuna. "Hey cheer up. Everything will probably be okay!! C'mon! I picked up some clothes for you for our Gagazet trip!! Let's go try them on!!" She told Yuna then grabbed her arm and dragged her upstairs.
Jecht came walking into the kitchen and saw Tidus making a huge mess. "Just what the hell do you think you're doing!?
"What does it look like? I'm cooking."
"Idiot! Your making a mess in MY kitchen, that's what your doing."
Tidus turned and faced him. "Fine, but if you want food then you'd let me continue."
But what Tidus didn't know is that by turning around, he revealed his blackish purple eye to his father. And once he realised this, it was too late.
"Ha! Got beat up, eh? What did you do? Tell me!" Jecht demanded.
"Eh, I rather not talk about it." Tidus said turning back around.
"No." Jecht replied walking up to him and turning him around. "We're GOING to talk about it."
Tidus crossed his arms. "This guy punished me after school today, threatening me to stay away from this girl." Tidus told him.
"Well you must'of did something really stupid to piss him off."
"Well you see. I got this girl......well uhhh, I mean.........she and I did.........errr, uh, well." Tidus didn't quite know how to explain this to Jecht without getting his other eye hit so he told him in words he could understand. "Dad.........I'm going to be.........a.........father."
Jecht took a step back in astonishment. "What.........WHAT did you JUST SAY!?"
Hmmmmm, well if didn't understand that then maybe this, "Ummmm, eeerrrmmmm you're going to be a grandfather?" Tidus told him.
"You F#$en idiot!? What the hell is wrong with you, you dumb ass!!!!!" Jecht didn't know what to say to the boy. He just wanted to give him a hard punch in the face for being SO stupid but held back his anger and walked away. "I can't believe this shit. Why the F#$ did we have to move to this damn F#$en island!? Dammit should of stayed in Zanarkand!!! We'll talk after dinner!!!" Jecht told him then left the house still mumbling to himself.
"Well.........he took that quite well." Tidus told himself with a smile.
The movie was going quiet well for Wakka and Lulu. It was about half way through and Wakka was still waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. Lulu was seriously into the movie and Wakka was thinking of what to do since the movie was so boring.
'Okay, if I don't do something now, I'm gonna lose my chance. Okay, time to make me move. Here I go.' Wakka thought then slowly placed his arm around her shoulder. Wakka looked over at her to see that she was still watching the movie.
'What the......? Did she even notice?' Wakka thought. Okay this was beginning to seem a bit weird.
'I have to do something else for her to notice that I'm on this date too.' Wakka thought. He was going in.
Wakka then slowly turned his head looking at her once again. He placed his hand on her cheek to move her head towards him then leaned in and kissed her.
Afterwards, both pulled apart and gazed at one another. Wakka smiled peacefully at her but Lulu had a shocked look on her face then resumed the movie nervously.
'Hmmmmm, that didn't go as well as I thought. Why the hell did I do that?' Wakka thought as he sank deeper in this seat.
"I knew it!!! Yunie! You look great!" Rikku said excitedly as she saw Yuna wearing a winter outfit she had picked out for it.
"You think so?" Yuna replied looking in the mirror.
"Of course! I bet Tidus would like it." Rikku said giving Yuna a little nudge on the arm.
"Who cares about him. He's probably gonna suck up to all those 'sluts' on the trip just like in the cafeteria today." Yuna said boldly.
"No, he won't! Tidus is going to be a good boy from now on." Rikku said happily.
"Like that would ever happen." Yuna replied.
"Do you hate him so Yuna?" Lenne asked.
"Yes!" Yuna replied as she sat down on her bed beside Lenne.
"Well that is going to change!" Lenne began.
"Eh?" Yuna said looking over at Lenne.
"Do you know what Seymour has been doing to him?" Lenne asked.
"Yeah! Yeah! Like today! Seymour beat the crap----I mean, Lenne you can explain."
"Okay well somehow, Seymour found out that Tidus is the father for your baby and he got furious, well cause he likes you and all so we all think that he is just jealous." Lenne explained.
"Uhhhh Huhhhh." Yuna replied a bit confused.
"Anyways, the main point is that Tidus won't come hear you because of Seymour. He beat the crap out of him today and locked him in one of the school dumpsters for over 4 hours. And might I add that it's December and it's freezing outside."
"Yeah and he is always threatening him and making fun of him and always putting him through a lot." Rikku added.
"Geeee, that's too bad." Yuna said sarcastically although deep down she kinda felt sorry for him.
"Yeah, so by you going up to Gagazet with him, it'll be good for the both of you since Seymour doesn't have Geography this semester which means that he won't be coming." Lenne told her.
Yuna sighed. She didn't really want to go with him because they would just argue like all the other times. And Yuna doubted that this would be any different, but knowing herself, she had to try. And besides, she didn't really have a choice unless she wanted to go up by herself.
"Okay fine, I'll go up to Gagazet with him." Yuna told the two.
"Great! Tidus will be so happy to hear!!! I'm gonna go call him now!" Rikku said excitedly then rushed out of the room to get the phone.
Lenne smiled at Yuna. "He really is a nice person Yuna. You just want to give him a chance."
Yuna didn't reply. She just sat there on her bed thinking.
"Hey!!!!!" Rikku shouted running into Yuna's room. "His phone is ringing!"
"Yay........." Yuna replied sarcastically.
"Hey hey there. Keller residence." Wakka spoke over the phone.
"Wakka!? What are you doing answering Tidus' phone?" Rikku asked.
"Cause Tidus has call display and didn't want to pick up the phone cause it's Yuna's house. I don't think he wants to talk to her right now. He has been depressed all fricken day and it's driving me crazy." Wakka replied.
"Well.........what's wrong with him?" Rikku asked.
"He's not telling me but it has to do with Yuna no doubt. So anyways, what do you want?" Wakka said.
"Yeah well tell Tidus that Yuna 'wants' to go with him up to Gagazet together." Rikku replied.
"Rikku!!!" Yuna shouted. "Don't say it like that!!!"
But Rikku just waved her hand at Yuna and continued on. "And besides whatever's wrong with Tidus, it can be all sorted out by them going together. Well?"
"Good idea. I'll tell him right away. Okay see ya then." Wakka replied.
"Okay bye!" Rikku said hanging up. She then looked at Yuna and Lenne. "Well its settled. Yunie's going up with her boyfriend!!!"
"Rikku!!!!" Yuna said furiously. She then began to chase her cousin around the house. "I'm gonna kill you!!!" Rikku ran in fear then locked herself in the bathroom. "You can't hide in there forever!!!!!"
"Hey Tidus good news, ya?" Wakka began. "You're taking Yuna up to Gagazet with you."
Tidus rolled over on his bed, not facing Wakka. "Yeah right. Like she'd want to go up with me. She should just go up with that asshole Seymour." Tidus replied, not caring.
"No, seriously. Rikku told me that Yuna wants to go with you. And Seymour isn't even coming so you don't have to worry about him."
"Whatever."
"Hey are you still all depressed about Seymour kissing Yuna?" Wakka asked.
Tidus sighed and didn't reply.
"Ah ha!!! So that is what this is all about!!" Wakka replied solving the case. "You're jealous!!! You have feelings for Yuna!!!"
"I DO NOT!!!" Tidus shouted at Wakka, turning around facing him. "I just hate that asshole!! Yuna deserves better then 'HIM'."
Wakka knew that that wasn't the real reason. He liked Yuna. Tidus got jealous that is worse rival stole Yuna away from him but couldn't admit it.
"Okay whatever. But you are still going with Yuna to Gagazet." Wakka told him.
"Fine!" Tidus replied angrily.
"Good. Then it's all decided." Wakka said happily.
