Chapter 2- Time Standing Still

That night there was a massive bonfire in the centre of the village, Yuna's party was in full swing and everyone was having a great time, however, 2 people were absent for the majority of the night, as they wanted to be alone together…

Wakka: "Hey ya! Where are those two? I can't find them anywhere!"

Lulu: "They walked off after dinner, can you really blame them? They've been through so much together, let them be alone Wakka!" She glared at him.

Wakka: "Uuhhhhh, right!" A nervous pitch in his voice. "It's just that I wanted to hear more about Yuna's last trip ya."

Lulu: "Yuna told us enough, we know what happened in the ruins, and about what happened between her and the other Gullwings. That's all we need to know."

She passed their son over to him with a smirk on her face. "Here, he needs changing."

Wakka: 'Sighs' "Ok, I'll fix him up, come along now ya?"

Meanwhile, down at the coastline, far from the village, Yuna and Tidus were walking hand-in-hand, talking about what had been going on for the past few days..

Yuna: "So, that's it?"

Tidus: "Yeah, not much to go on, not like what you told us tonight."

Yuna giggles: "Well, I know that we learnt a lot, but still…." She stopped walking and looked at Tidus, hopeful.

Tidus: "Hhmm? What is it?" He asked, as she leaned into him.

Yuna: "Nothing, I just like knowing that you're not going to disappear again. That day when we defeated Sin, it broke my heart, seeing you fade away like that."

Tidus let a sigh escape from his lips: "I know, it broke mine as well, I felt shattered, knowing that I would probably never see you again, never hold you again." He gently pushed her back a little bit so he could look into her eyes. Yuna felt her heart flutter. "Never…" his sentence was cut short as he leaned in and kissed her. He held onto her tightly, letting her know that he was right there with her, and that he wasn't going anywhere. Yuna broke the kiss after a while and looked into his eyes.

Yuna: "I need you…" she said, feeling her heart in her throat, knowing that her face was probably turning red again, and feeling tears well up in her eyes, she couldn't help it, it was truly a magical moment for them.

Tidus: "You have me, you always have Yuna, and you always will. I'm real, I'm not a dream anymore, and I'm standing right here, in front of you…. I need you too." He said as he gently kissed her forehead. Yuna wrapped her arms around him tightly, his words had been absolutely perfect, and it touched her in a way that only he could. Tidus reciprocated this by putting his arms around her waist and holding her tightly. He could tell she was crying.. he looked down at her face, and she lifted it so their eyes met.

Tidus knew that Yuna's tears weren't ones of sadness, or loneliness, she was crying because she was happy, a genuine smile had appeared one her face. Tidus raised a hand to her face and wiped away her tears. Yuna closed her eyes, enjoying the feeling, then she felt his breath on her eye, she hoped that he would say it, because she would never get tired of it and she loved to hear it, and sure enough, he whispered very softly…. "I love you , Yuna, with all my heart."

(Ok, I need you to do something now, just as you start reading the next paragraph, think back to when Yuna and Tidus shared their first kiss and the song that was played, you know the one I'm talking about. Imagine that starting to play as you start to read the next paragraph ok.)

Yuna: "I love you too!" She whispered as she threw her arms around his neck and they embraced in a very deep, passionate kiss. They were near the trees now and so they lay down under one of them while they continued to express their love for one another. Tidus sat up slightly so he was leaning against the tree and Yuna turned around slightly so they were both now facing the beautiful ocean scenery. But their kiss was still continuing, and as Tidus wrapped his arms around the front of Yuna's chest and he felt her lean into his body more, tilting her neck slightly, and deepening their passionate kiss as he parted her lips with his tongue. They stayed that way for what seemed like eternity, and they didn't care even if it was that long, as all that mattered to them was the moment, complete, perfect, heaven. That's what they were in, and that's how they wanted to stay.

For that moment, it seemed to them like time was standing still, and they enjoyed every second of it, not wanting it to ever end, it wasn't until Wakka found them that tey realized just how late it was…

Wakka: "Oh ya! I'm sorry ey!" As he emerged from the track near the village, it occurred to them that they had walked the entire island together, lost in a sea of passion. Tidus and Yuna emerged from their paradise in each others kiss and slowly stood up, Tidus lifting Yuna to her feat of course as yet another romantic gesture.

Yuna: "What is it Wakka?" She asked in a very soft voice.

Wakka: "Well, it's late ya, and Lulu asked me to come and get you, so you don't fall asleep out here." Yuna and Tidus gave each other a weird look then did the same to Wakka. If this were a cartoon, a sweat mark would have appeared behind his head. "Oh, I'm sorry I interrupted ya, I didn't mean to spoil the moment."

Tidus: "Nah!" He said with a bit of a chuckle in his voice. "It's ok, we should probably be getting to sleep, hey Yuna."

Yuna nodded, only realizing just now that she was tired. "We'd better go back to our hut before we fall asleep out here." She said, but with a strange emotion in her voice. Tidus looked over at her only to see her wink at him. He felt his face turn a little red, the thought of falling asleep in Yuna's bed with her, just about nothing could beat that. He gave her a quick kiss to let her know he acknowledged what she was hinting at.

Wakka: "Right ya! I'd better take you two back to the village…" It was then he heard a rustle behind him, he spun around to see Lulu approach. "Uh-oh, I'm in for it now ya."

Lulu: "What are you still doing here? I told you to let them know of the time then to come straight back to the village." She said with an annoyed tone in her voice.

Wakka: "Ah, I'm sorry Lu, I was just going to bring them back and…" He was cut off by one of Lulu's infamous death stares. "I-I-I well, that is…" It was no good, he couldn't think of anything to say, so he just stopped talking and nodded to her. Tidus and Yuna couldn't help laugh at the situation.

Lulu: "Good." She said, as she started back to the village with Wakka in pursuit. She was surprised when he took her hand and walked with her. It made her slightly blush. Wakka put his hand behind his back and gave the young couple a thumbs-up. Yuna giggled a bit and Tidus commented: "Poor guy, he's in the dog-house again." This made Yuna laugh and she took his hand in her, they happily laced their fingers with each other and started back.

The couple entered the village to a nice quiet sound, everyone was asleep so no one would bother them, Tidus took Yuna by her other hand as they approached the bonfire and looked at her lovingly. He ran the back of his hand across her left cheek and gave her a nice slow kiss. Yuna closed her eyes and as she did she felt her feat leave the ground as he picked her up. She couldn't help but smile through the kiss as he approached the entrance to their hut and spun around. He went in backwards and gently placed Yuna on the bed. She starred at him with those beautifully mismatched eyes, and then holding out one of her arms and patting the spot next to her, silently asking him to join her.

Tidus removed his Blitzer outfit and crawled into bed with the beautiful woman, draping his arm around her and bringing her close, he lifted his head a little which caused a look of intrigue on Yuna's face, he lent over her ear, she closed her eyes and she once again felt his breath one her ear and neck, she knew what he was about to say…. Or so she thought.

Tidus: "Yuna, I want you in my life forever, I want to exist only with you, and I want to be with you, forever."

Yuna's heart began to race, what was he saying? Was he? Could he be? Her thoughts were cut off by Tidus whispering again.. "I love you so much Yuna, it hurts when we separate, even if it's just for a few moments."

Yuna: "I know, it hurts me as well, and I love you too, more than you could ever imagine, but, what are you saying?" She asked trying to hind the emotion that had been building up.

Tidus: "I want to spend the rest of my life with you."

Yuna: "And I with you." Yuna had tears streaking down her face now, her emotions had gotten the better of her and she felt so helpless, but so strong too, as she was in the arms of the man she loved. Tidus wiped the tears from her face and kissed her passionately, then broke the kiss and said: "I'd like to take us to the next step." Yuna smiled nervously and nodded: "So do I." she said, and they embraced each other in a long and passionate kiss…and once again, time seemed to stand still, just for them.

(I'm doing this as if you were actually playing the game and this were one of the scenes, in which case the screen would pull out a bit to reveal an extended view of Tidus and Yuna kissing and then the screen would fade into black, as it would have done at the end of the first chapter).

Chapter 2 Complete!
