Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Seed Destiny nor and I claiming to, I have simply used the name of something for story purposes, copied straight from Chairman Gilbert Durandal's 'Destiny Plan' though the one Tidus has is completely different.

Ok moving on this Chapter may seem short but that's because the final Chapter will be extremely loooooooooooong, so I hope that's ok with everyone. Enjoy!

Chapter 4 – The Destiny Plan

As Tidus was putting together the final pieces to his romantic plan, his thoughts were interrupted by Lulu.

Lulu: "What are you up to?" She asked, with what appeared to be concern in her voice.

Tidus: "Up to? Nothing…nothing at all, really." He did his best, trying to cover what was going on, but Lulu saw right through him.

Lulu: "Don't lie to me, I saw you go off a little while ago, and I saw the Celsius land at the beach then quickly take off again." Tidus looked baffled. "Then about an hour later, it landed again, and I overheard Rikku being excited about something.

Tidus: "Rikku's always excited about something!" He laughed. Once again, Lulu knew he was lying.

Lulu: "No, this time it was different, she was calm about it, and seemed to be in a daze."

Tidus was starting to sweat, he had pretty much been found out, but as long as no one else found out for awhile, everything would be ok. "Please don't tell anyone, ok?" he begged.

Lulu: "Why?" She asked, annoyance clear in her voice now.

Tidus: "Listen, I'm planning a big surprise for Yuna, and I need it kept secret, just for a little while, ok?"

Lulu gave him a weird look, but understood that Yuna would like whatever he did for her so she agreed. Tidus was relieved when she walked off, and examined the item he had acquired at Zanarkand. Earlier, he had contacted Rikku through the Celsius's Comm Sphere and told her the early stages of his plan, she agreed to take a quick break from excavating when he had told her that it would make Yuna very happy.

Rikku, Paine and Brother gave him a lift to Zanarkand where he fought a group of fiends to collect certain gemstones. Then he went to the site and had Rikku use some of the restored Machina to carve the stones together and lastly, create a ring band the size of Yuna's finger. Rikku then flew him back to Besaid, but not before getting all the details from Tidus..

Rikku: "You're gonna WHAAAA?!" she screamed, leaping forward and hugging him, "Congrats!!" She exclaimed, excited beyond belief about what was soon going to be taking place.

Tidus: "Um, thanks Rikku, but don't mention this to anyone ok?"

Rikku: "You bet!"

Tidus was nervous that night, in the 3 hours since he and Yuna had returned from Zanarkand, he had shown her to her tent so she could lie down, contacted Rikku, flown back to Zanarkand, gathered what he needed, and gotten back to Besaid. He entered the hut just as Yuna was waking up, she smiled when she saw him enter.

Tidus: "How was the nap?" he asked in a cheery voice.

Yuna: "Great." She said, stretching her arms and getting up. She walked over to him and they hugged. Tidus lifted her head via her chin with one of his fingers and kissed her. Yuna broke off after a few seconds, smiled, then kissed him back, feeling her face go red as always when she was with him. This time, Tidus broke off and stepped back from her, a slight frown appearing on Yuna's face, one which quickly vanished when she saw what Tidus was doing.

Tidus: "Yuna, I love you, and I want us to be together more than anything." He was down on one knee now, and had taken her hand in his. Yuna's' mouth opened slightly, she covered it with her other hand but that couldn't stop the gasp that had escaped her lips or the tears from welling up in her eyes.

Yuna: "What….what are you saying?" She managed to get out.

Tidus: "Yuna, when I came here, I thought my purpose was to be your guardian and help you defeat Sin. But when that was done, I vanished, I thought I would never see you again. But then, somehow, I reappeared right here in Besaid, it was then I knew why I had come here, what my purpose is."

Yuna: "Your purpose?" said Yuna, tears now streaking down her face.

Tidus: "The very fact that I returned, made real from nothing but a dream, is proof that we're meant to be together, always. It's said that our Destiny's are predetermined, that it's all decided from the moment we are born, but my being here defies that, so I've come to realize, that we choose which paths we follow, and I want to follow mine with you. I would like us to make our Destiny together, just like Lulu and Wakka have done." Yuna couldn't control herself now, she was crying out loud, but had the sense to keep her eyes fixed on his.

Yuna: "Are you saying that….that?"

Tidus: "Yes I am, Yuna…" he pulled the ring out of his jacket and showed it to her, "Will you marry me?" Yuna could barely speak, her emotions had completely overcome her, however, she managed to get out the one word that was important.

Yuna: "Yes!" she cried, Tidus smiled and slid the ring onto her finger, Yuna starred at it, the gem was a beautiful stone that shone brightly. Tidus stood up, and Yuna couldn't fling her arms around him fast enough, they held each other tightly, then, lifting their faces, feel into a deep kiss, the best one they had had yet.

They broke it after awhile, and just looked at each other, they were both in a state of serenity. Yuna lifted her hand and looked at the ring, then looked at Tidus: "Are you sure?" she asked, hoping his answer wouldn't change.

Tidus: "Yes Yuna, I've thought about this a lot and I know it's the correct path for us."

Yuna giggled: "I've never heard you talk like this before." But she liked it, it was proof that they both were growing.

Tidus: "I know, it's strange, but it feels right, and hey, even though we're growing up because of this, we can still say and do what we want, and that's all that matters." Yuna looked at him strangely: "You said something similar during my pilgrimage, it's stuck with me all this time, but, is that all that matters to you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

Tidus: "No, he said, a smirk appearing on his face, know exactly what Yuna was thinking." He leant down and kissed her softly, just for a moment, then spoke: "What matters the most to me is that I'm here, with you, and knowing that we'll be together for as long as we want."

Yuna: "Right!" she giggled, "Always."

Tidus: "Always." They then lent into another kiss before falling back onto their bed and falling asleep in each others' arms, they knew that tomorrow would be big, everyone would find out about their engagement, however, there would be more to it than that…
