Chapter One

Grrrrrrrrrrr!

Yuna screamed as she slammed her locker shut not caring that everyone in the hall was giving her a funny look. "For once can't they make these darn textbooks light."

"It's not that they're heavy its more like your totally weak," Yuna's friend Paine said.

"Oh, so if you're so much stronger then why don't you carry my books?" Yuna said.

"Slim chance."

"Why not?"

"Come on Yuna we're going to be late and you heard what the teacher said if you're late one more time he's going to give you another detention."

"And I care why? I'll just add it to my collection of other disciplinary notices. You know I'm really starting to get quite a lot"

"Oh goody I'm sure your mother is so proud of you," Paine said sarcastically.

"Hey that hurt," Yuna said walking right into the closed classroom door.

Paine rolled her eyes and said, "You are such a dork, Yuna sometimes a wonder why I don't hurt you"

"Because you love me," Yuna said cheerfully entering the classroom.

"Thanks for joining us girls," the teacher said scowling at Yuna.

"Anytime it's always a pleasure," Yuna replied. A boy laughed from the back of the classroom and Yuna looked up to see Tidus smiling brightly at her.

"Take your seats girls you both have detention for wasting my time with your lateness.

"Thanks a lot Yuna," Paine said.

"Glad to be of service"

Yuna went to her seat next to Tidus in the back and commenced talking to him for the rest of the period.

At lunch that day Yuna sat with her usual companions Baralai, Paine, Rikku, Gippal, Lenne and Tidus.

"So you guys hear Yuna got another detention today," Paine said. Rikku looked triumphantly at Gippal who handed her his piece of cake. "Told ya'll Yuna couldn't stay out of trouble for one day," Rikku said. Gippal shook his head.

"You know Yuna it is only the second month of school and you've already gotten more detentions then all of us combined," Baralai said.

"Except Gippal," Rikku said through mouthfuls of chocolate cake, "and Tidus and myself come to think about it."

Paine shook her head. "You're all a bunch of screw ups if you ask me"

"Oh and you think your so much better then us because your on that stupid sword fighting team," Rikku snapped.

"Rikku," Lenne said in her usual calm, sweet voice ", there's no need to be mean."

"Who's being mean," Rikku said storming off.

"Wonder what's eating her today?" Tidus said.

"I'll go see," Gippal said

After Gippal left Yuna jumped up and said, "He totally likes her. Oh man they'd make the perfect couple."

"After school I'm going to hurt her," Paine growled. Paine really didn't like Rikku. She found her far too cheerful.

"Try not to hurt her that badly remember the fall dance is next week," Baralai said.

"Our school has a fall dance?" Yuna asked, "I don't they got rid of all fun things in order to save money."

"It surprises me too. Hey but I'm surprised that this dump even has walls." Tidus joked.

Yuna wasn't listening though instead she was thinking about next week. This could be her big chance.

Later on Yuna and Lenne walked home together since they lived on the next block from each other.

"Who are you going to go to the dance with, Lenne?"

"Oh I don't know there really aren't any guys that I like"

"Say what I could think of a thousand guys I'd be with if I could, but you know none of them are as good as him."

"Has he asked you out yet?"

"Well not exactly. I think he's embarrassed. We've been such good friends for so long I don't think that he wanted to run the risk of ruining it. But if he doesn't soon I'll have to and that would just be weird"

"I don't think his brain is big enough to think into the situation that much."

Yuna swung her purse at Lenne. "Look who's talking."

Lenne shrugged. "I have straight A's and am number five in the class so it's all good to me"

"No way! You're lying that's impossible"

"I got to study hard so that I can get into a good school"

"You actually want to go to college. What'd do you want to do anyways?"

"Singer and writer"

"I just want to be the most famous singer ever then everyone will love me"

"We can sing together"

"That would be so awesome"

Lenne stopped and turned around to face Yuna. Lenne was slightly taller than Yuna and had long brown hair with beads in the front. She looked sad. Her deep blue eyes focused on the ground.

"What's wrong Lenne?"

"Nothing you're just really lucky Yuna" she said before walking off.

"Hey don't leave me!" Yuna screamed after her.

At home, Yuna discovered her parents still weren't home, but what else was new they never were. She walked in and turned on the television.

"Yuna is that you" her older sister Lulu called.

"No I'm a burglar"

Lu shook her head. "How was school?"

"Same old boringness and oh yeah I got another detention"

"For what?"

"I didn't do anything the teacher just doesn't like me. It's not like I'm even the worst student in the class or anything. I have an A in history."

"I find it hard to believe you'd get in trouble for nothing, Yuna."

"Well come to think about it I was a little late."

"God Yuna what am I going to do with you?"

"Nothing"

"Oh I know if you get in even the slightest bit more trouble you can't go to the dance next week."

"You can't say that"

"Watch me"

"Well excuse me for not being perfect like you." Yuna yelled storming into her own room. She picked up her phone and dialed Tidus's number.

"Hiya" he said.

"Hey"

"What's up? You sound angry."

"I hate Lu. She thinks she's so great just because she's in college and engaged to some guy."

"Yuna meet me at the park in five minutes"

"Why?"

"Just do it"

"Ok"

"Bye"

Tidus then hung up the phone. Puzzled Yuna put her own phone down, locked the door and left through the window. Lu would probably get mad if she found out Yuna was leaving since it was starting to get dark out. Walking to the park Yuna began to think. Everyone was acting so strangely today. She shrugged it off. At least she was going to see Tidus.

"Hey" Tidus said. He looked so wonderful in the fading evening light. They had been to this same park so many times over the years they'd known each other. Yuna thought back to the time when they first met.

Yuna was five years old playing on the swing. She had called out to Lu to watch her, but lost her grip on the swing and fell to the ground. She started crying for her sister, but the only one who came was a boy about her own age. He had messy blond hair and blue eyes. The boy reached out to help her up.

"Hi I'm Tidus. Are you okay?"

Through her teary eyes, Yuna replied, "I'm fine"

"Do you want to play with me?" Tidus asked.

"Sure! I'm Yuna"

That was eleven years ago. Since then they had become best friends.

"Hey" Yuna replied still staring at Tidus.

They sat down on the swings and looked at each other.

"Lu got mad at you for getting another detention?"

"Yeah"

"So let her get mad"

"I guess but she said that if I get another detention I can't go to the dance."

"Oh. That would suck"

Yuna nodded.

"Hey Yuna do you remember back when we where twelve the night of that big storm."

Yuna shook her head even though she did remember she wanted to see where he was going with this.

"Well it was raining really hard and it was windy. The power even went out.

You called me because you were scared. No one was home at your house so I came over. By the time I got to your house, I was completely soaked, but I didn't care because you were crying. I promised you that I would always come when you called no matter what and that we would always be best friends. But now……..now I wonder if that's enough."

"Tidus" Yuna said her face had turned slightly red. She looked straight into Tidus's bright blue eyes. He looked back at her and put his hand on top of hers.

"I love you, Yuna," he said"

"I love you," Yuna said.

They stood up and Tidus embraced Yuna. "You're so beautiful," Tidus said

"I know"

The moon's light shone down upon them as they kissed.

An hour later Yuna skipped home smiling the whole way. In all the times, she had imagined her first kiss it was never that good. She was so happy that she forgot she had snuck out and walked right in through the front.

"Yuna" Lu screamed at the top of her longs.

Oh, no Yuna thought I'm totally dead now. Darn Lu for bursting my bubble.

"Where the hell were you Yuna? You had us worried out of our mind, ya" Lu's fiancé Wakka said. Wakka wasn't the smartest guy in the world. Yuna learned that the first time Lu introduced him to him and sometimes she wondered if he was good enough for her sister. Despite that, Yuna had always gotten along him and had begun to look up to him as a big brother. Wakka also treated Yuna like a sister since his own brother had been killed. He was the captain and star player of the local blitzball team. Yuna could only think of one person who could beat him.

"I was outside," Yuna replied innocently.

"You were not. I searched everywhere for you. I didn't know what happened to you. I was so scared." Lu said hugging Yuna.

Yuna pulled away. "There was something I had to do. It was super important."

"Just promise me you'll never sneak off again."

"Of course I would never do anything like that again." Yuna said deceitfully.

Lu frowned. "Why aren't mother and father home?" Yuna asked.

"I'm not sure where they went only that they're really busy."

"Whatever I bet they're out partying somewhere laughing about how they ditched their daughter."

"Yuna don't be so disrespectful they're still your parents."

"Whatever" Yuna said leaving the room and slamming the door behind her.

"Maybe she does have a point, ya. She hasn't seen her parents in like half a year."

"I know, but it's not their fault. They don't have a choice if they did they would never be gone so long. They're doing something that must be done."

"Do you know where they are?"

Lu shook her head. "They wouldn't even tell me, but I have there phone number. I spoke to them last week.

"Yuna didn't?"

"They said it was too dangerous."

Inside her room, Yuna lay on her bed staring at the ceiling trying to understand everything that had happened that day. Why would Lenne run off like that? Where were her parents?She kissed Tidus! After awhile she got tired so she turned the light off and went to sleep.

What's bothering Lenne? Whats so important that Yuna's parents can never come home. Find out on the next chapter! And please review and tell me what you thought.
