Whatever Happened to My Story

Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy X/X-2or any other thing relating to it, if I did Tidus wouldn't be part of it.

Message from Drak: I LIVE! Ok, my other story is on hiatus for a while. Mostly because I lost my inspiration to write about Yuna and Cloud, maybe because the pairing has gotten more popular, or because I grew out of it either way it equals the same thing. I got bored.

Another Message: Ok, this is YunaxGippal, with severe Tidus bashing. Don't like it, too bad. Done in Gippal POV

Chapter I

Ugh, it's been an entire year since he's been back. Apparently the two are engaged and talking about a family. Tch, typical, whatever. It doesn't matter, right? This is a little crush, it'll fade like the others, like the one I had on Rikku. I'll be grieving over her for a few months then I'll find a stronger, hotter girl and every thought about her will go away completely. It doesn't matter. Now I'm on an airship on my way to Besaid because Rikku wants me to give her proper congratulations, everyone else has. "Congrats Yuna, you finally made your happy ending." Paine told her. "Can you imagine what their babies will look like?" Rikku whispered to Baralai who chuckled and whispered back "They would be very adorable. I can't imagine her with anyone else." I nearly smacked him for that. He knows very well that I like her, more than like. But no, he had to say that. That's alright, I hit him once we got away from everyone else, he quickly apologized, which means "Don't hit me again" I know not a lot of people think Yuna and I are any good together, she does what she's told, I do as I please.

I bet you never thought you'd hear me whining over girl problems huh? Well, I have problems too you know, I had a crap life, and it's still crap. But I'm not going to unload my past on you. It's no one's business. Not even Rikku knows all of it, and she's the greatest friend I've ever had, despite she takes me for granted nowadays. Alright I know that all of this sounds like a bunch of whining but I'm going through a tough time so cut me some slack.

You want to know what happened in the past year huh? Alright, I had to close the machine faction, all of us agreed to it. Nooj and Baralai have disbanded their factions so now all of us are living day to day lives. I moved to Luca, I could never stay in a small town, too slow pace. I work as a mechanic, perfect job for me. That's about it, I haven't really changed. It's been boring but it's been ok I guess.

Baralai stayed in Bevelle and many still think of him as a leader although he tries to convince them otherwise. Poor guy can't have a moment's peace. Hehe, he's now going to university to become a doctor of some sort, typical of him really. He's going out with some girl now, Rydia, I think her name is, apparently she's going to move in with him too.

Nooj never stopped fighting. He joined the Spirian Army and has been moving up a rank every week since then, what can I say? He's a strong talented fighter, with loads of leadership. Leblanc is not pleased with him being in the army, but no matter how much she complains and begs and whines, that won't stop him. Everyone can see that. Oh, those two are married now, I never thought that Leblanc or Nooj would ever marry, no matter how much they loved each other, but they proved me wrong. Can't say I look forward to see if they have kids though, no offence but I don't think either of them are exactly "Parent-like" and Leblanc is still acting like a pouty teen! I pity whatever kids they have. I remember once Leblanc got a cat, barely lasted a month. Rikku thankfully took the cat in and now the cat is fairly healthy. Rikku always had a knack with dealing with animals, mostly due to the large amount of energy she has.

Rikku still lives on the Celsius with her new boyfriend, Locke. He's a decent guy, and is also pent up with energy so those two are perfect for each other. Rikku joins him whenever he goes out searching for treasure; they have found quite a few interesting objects, none that are worth anything though.

Paine lives on the Celsius still oddly enough, would've figured she'd move out and meet someone but Paine hasn't changed at all. She says she still hasn't had her fill for adventure quite yet. Well, whenever she does she'll probably become one of those people who make documentaries and stuff, she does have a way with words like that and she does have her interest in history and all that so I wouldn't be all that surprised.

I already told you about what's going on with Yuna and her gender confused fiancé. Yuna has never appeared to be so happy; at least that's what Rikku has told me. Frankly, it doesn't matter, if she's happy I'm just going to shut up, mutter an angry congrats, and threaten to murder that idiot if he decides to cheat on her or something.

I'm guessing by the shaking of the floor, we're here. I slowly get off, following Rikku who had a firm grip on my wrist onto the sandy shores of Besaid, the sunlight was so damn blinding, but I attempted to look around. I've never actually been to Besaid and I'll admit, I wasn't missing too much, It's mostly sand, trees, and...Are those huts? Ok, sand, trees and huts. I take another glimpse around once I can see a little better. I see a familiar brunette running my way, arms wide open. I open my arms lazily and practically fall over from impact.

"It's been far too long Gippal, where have you been?" She looked up at me, smiling. I have no idea what she's so happy about, she has to deal with that girl she's gonna marry every day. I smile back and tell her a sugar-coated version of how I've been and what I've been up to. It pleases her and she finally lets me go. I catch Tidus walking up, which completely destroyed my smile. More like ran over it with a semi and then put it in a building which gets blown up, then some idiot, probably the one standing before me, drops some kind of bomb onto the rubble of the building.

Tidus attempts to hug me, I push him away. "I'm not comfortable with people I don't know hugging me, it's a trust issue thing." Yuna laughs and smiles.

"Since when have you ever had a trust issue, you're the most outgoing person I know!" She begins to laugh again, Rikku slowly joining in, seeing the flaw in my lie. I roll my eyes and start to walk into the village; I was too hungry to think of anything else.

"Where's the food?" I mutter, my stomach growled in unison. Then I hear that blond moron laughing at me. I turn around and give him my most horrifying glare, which obviously failed, seeing how more laughter followed.

"I said the exact same thing when I got here." Tidus says, then continuing to laugh. Yuna then runs over grabbing my hand.

"The food's this way, when I found out you all were coming, I decided to make a big supper, c'mon!" She dragged me into their house, which was larger than it looked. The food looked good, and from what I've heard it tasted even better. Yuna sat me down and grabbed a plate for me. It was kind of like being in a restaurant, I looked around at everyone. They were all smiling and I began to think that I'm actually going to have a half-decent time here. But then I saw Tidus digging in his food without a fork. Now I know better.

Another message: I know it's crap, I'm no good at first person.
