Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy X.

WOOHOO! My brother just beat FF X yesterday! I've wanted to see the ending for a while. The ending made by ears burn slightly and my stomach do flips. I get odd like that when there's some kind of romantic thing...especially if it's an ending. I almost cried when Yuna went right though Tidus! ...So very sad. I can't imagine how those people who beat the game within the first couple days it was out felt while they had to wait for X-2 to come out. I mean that Tidus thing after the credits... I download the 'Good' ending for X-2 so I ruined it for myself...and read the 'perfect' ending in a fic...oh, boy.

Enough of my endless blabber! On with the story!

Chapter 7: Kilika's Sphere: Part 2

The sphere clicked as the image played.

A dark figure with long hair stared out at the ocean. It zoomed in on the back of his head. A tangled mess of dark brown strands filled the image with a hint of a red bandana. The figure turned his head, revealing a scarred grizzled face. His chest began to appear, inch by inch. Tattooed upon it was the symbolized logo of the Zanarkand Abes.

It fuzzed out. Soon another scene played.

A teenage Tidus sat alone on the steps of Kilika temple. You could tell whoever was recording was hiding in the woods, for a leaf kept appearing at the bottom-left corner of the image.

"How long is she going to be in there!" The young Tidus snapped a defenseless twig in half. "She said she would only take an hour at most. It's almost been TWO!"

He looked up the endless stairs, hoping to see the girl he was previously speaking of. Only a fallen leaf blew past. "DAMMIT! Where is she?" He seemed worried as he twiddled his thumbs.

The sphere sputtered out a new image as the old one faded.

"Sorry I'm late." The teenage Yuna smiled nervously at her blond friend.

"Yeah, TWO hours late." He crossed his arms across his chest, frowning.

"...And you waited here the entire time?" she asked, cocking her had to one side.

"Dah...I...uhh..." A tint of crimson sneaked up the young boy's face. "Of COURSE!"

She giggled, giving the blushing Tidus a kiss on the cheek. "Thanks," she whispered softly into the boy's ear.

"N-no problem!" He almost tripped over his own two feet, trying to back away slightly. "I...got you something."

She looked down at the dark blue box wedged between his fingers. "You remembered!" the teenage girl squealed, wrapping her frail arms around his neck. "This is the first time in, what? Five years?"

"I have a forgetful mind!" he defended himself. "Besides...I've been saving up for this one."

Tidus held the box out toward the girl. She took it into her own slender fingers, massaging it gently. When Yuna finally opened it, inside was a beautiful necklace. A long silver chain ended were two sliver bands curved down in to a small sliver flower with a crystal set in the center. "It's beautiful..." Yuna mumbled, gazing at the present.

"I knew you'd like it." He grinned.

"Isn't this the necklace I was eyeing at the shop in town?" She cocked an eyebrow.

"I KNEW you'd like it." Tidus scratched the back of his head.

"Tidus. Tidus." The summoner-in-training shook her head back and forth.

"What?" He knelt his head down by hers. His hot breath tickled her cheek. "Want me to put that on you?" The sentence hadn't turned out the best.

"Uhh...sure." She handed him the necklace to him, then turned around, pulling her hair up.

Carefully, he draped the chain over her neck, pulling it to the back. When it clicked, it was on. She turned around to show him how it looked on her. "How does it look?"

"Beautiful..." His eyes were focus on her face, not her new necklace.

"Oh...I got you something too." Yuna reached down in her pocket pulling out a silver chain like her own, only thicker. On the end was a pendent of the Zanarkand Abes symbol.

"Wow." He picked it out of her hand, quickly pulling it over his head. It dropped down around his tanned neck.

"I knew how much you missed Zanarkand." She had said it in a bit of a mocking tone.

"Hey!" Tidus threw his arms up in the air.

It fuzzed out, yet again, revealing a new image.

"Did you get it all, Rikku?" Tidus' voice came from off screen.

"Yep!" replied a cheerful voice.

The sphere finally stopped.

Rikku laughed nervously as the other two gapped at the sphere. "Rikku." Yuna had the serious tone. "Come with me." She grabbed her cousin by the arm and dragged her off to the next room. Tidus just sat there, replaying the sphere.

"Yes, Yunie?" The Al Bhed attempted a smile.

"Rikku, did you know?" Yuna kept her serious tone.

"Oac..." Rikku spoke. "Oui ghaf Tidus ajan cehla oui fana meddma getc."

"Please not in Al Bhed." The summoner sighed. "I can only understand a few words.

"Hu!" Rikku snorted. "Dd ec aycean vun sa du cbayg du oui eh Al Bhed. Dryd fyo oui tuh'd ghuf fryd E's cyoehk. HA!"

"Rikku." Yuna whined.

"Oui mujat Tidus." The blonde sighed. "Tidus mujat oui."

End Chapter

Translations:

Oac... Oui ghaf Tidus ajan cehla oui fana meddma getc. Yes... You knew Tidus ever since you were little kids.

Hu! Dd ec aycean vun sa du cbayg du oui eh Al Bhed. Dryd fyo oui tuh'd ghuf fryd E's cyoehk. HA! No! It is easier for me to speak to you in Al Bhed. That way you don't know what I'm saying. HA!

I'm not going to tell you the last one. evil grin (I re-uploaded this chapter to fix the last part. This WAS my first time using Al Bhed. It no longer means 'rived'.)

Sorry for another short chapter. I have to go take a shower and I wanted to get this out before took one. It's getting a little late... BTW, the two necklaces Tidus and Yuna gave each other are the ones they wear in the game. Thanks for all the reviews! Please review!
