Beginning: Conclusion

Lenne awoke to find herself floating in a dark abyss; is this the Farplane? She wondered. She pushed her body from its original foetal position, outwards until she was floating in an upright standing position.

She looked all around and saw nothing but darkness, until she saw the purple and white flowers glowing at her feet. She looked up to see herself surrounded by a beautiful glen with a large waterfall and a stretching field of flowers. Death wasn't so bad after all.

A rustling sound came from a nearby collection of trees, starling Lenne and making her turn around to see what it was. She saw a handsome man stood in front of her. He looked no older than twenty – one, with golden blonde hair and crystal blue eyes.

"Shuyin…" She sighed, a smile stretching across her face. Feeling almost weightless, she ran into the arms of her lover. "I thought I would never see you again. I didn't think we would be re-united here!" She sobbed and buried her head into his chest.

He had to fight tears himself, wrapping his strong arms around her tiny body and taking in the sight of her once again. "I'm sorry Lenne." He sniffled. "I thought I was doing the right thing. I didn't think it would be us getting killed."

"Shh." Lenne stopped him, looking at him and running her hands over his smooth cheeks. "It's alright. We're together again, nothing else matters."

"You're right; I just wish we weren't here. I wish we were home again, that the war was over and we could see our son again."

"So do I, but I know he's alright. He's got his family to look after him. I swore that if Jecht lays so much as a finger on him, I'd be haunting him every night for the rest of his life."
Shuyin laughed slightly and hugged his wife again. "You're not the only one." He replied, and then held her with one arm around her waist, looking out at the view of the Farplane glen. He took in the whole sight of her once more and noticed something missing. "Lenne, where's your Abes symbol that I gave you?"

Lenne took a breath and looked up at her husband with a satisfied smile. "Where it belongs," She replied, and kissed him, "with our baby. So he'll always have a part of us with him."

Being on the Farplane was just like living a normal life. Sleeping, waking up and having a home were all the same. The only thing that was different was the eating, and breathing felt a little different too.

Lenne opened her eyes slowly one morning and felt her chest. There was no heart beat, only a warm feeling; a feeling of love. She got herself out of bed and made her way through the wooden cabin, suspended on a cliff that she now called home. Shuyin was sat outside, looking at the morning sun rising up over the distant mountains of the Farplane.

"Shuyin?" Lenne asked quietly.

"Yea babe?" Shuyin replied, not surprised by her presence. He turned to look at her, a small content smile on his face.

"Can you feel something in your chest? Like, a warm feeling?"

"Yea a little, why, can you?"

Lenne paused, battling a few things going on in her head. "I think it's something back home? Something to do with Tidus."

"Are you sure?!" Shuyin asked, standing up and taking hold of her gently.

Lenne nodded, "Almost certain." She paused again. " Oh Shuyin , it's him. He's a lot older now…" Lenne seemed to trail off into the distance, her eyes looking towards the mountains ahead of her, but she didn't actually see them. Tears began to well up in her eyes and she looked back to her husband, who was barely showing any emotion other than a longing to know what she was feeling or seeing. "He's on Besaid Island, with a young woman named Yuna. It's the same girl who helped us when she found the dress sphere."

"What else?" Shuyin asked.

"He's sat alone, on the beach. He's watching the horizon, the water lapping the sand in rhythm with his heart beat. Shuyin I can feel his heart beat, can't you feel it too?" She placed her hand flat on his chest where his heart would have been if he were still alive.

Shuyin gasped slightly. "I feel it." He sighed happily and she took her hand away.

"He's nervous about something… And, and he wishes that he had his parents there to help him…" Lenne looked at Shuyin with longing eyes, and he knew exactly what she was thinking.

"No, oh no… We can't project back, he doesn't even know who we are." Shuyin objected.

"He does. Mahra would have told him who we are, and he would have seen pictures of us. Shuyin, he needs our help." She pleaded, with puppy dog eyes.

Shuyin sighed. "There'll be no living with you after this."

"Yes there will, there's no leaving me once we're dead together. Until death do us part, but that's only until we're re-united in the afterlife."

Shuyin gave a small laugh and held his wife as they began to disappear from the Farplane.

Tidus sat and watched as the sea lapped the sand beneath him. In his hand he held the Zanarkand Abes pendant that he had had ever since he was a baby. Years ago he had learnt about the woman who gave it to him, and the man she had married in secret before she given birth to him. He had learnt about his real parents years ago, and now he wished that they were here. He wished that they were here to help him make one of the biggest decisions of his life.

Suddenly, pyreflies sang all around him. He watched them dance around and away towards the dock. They twirled up in a spiral and began to form the image of two people. Tidus rubbed his eyes in disbelief as he watched a man and woman, who both looked only slightly older than him, appear before him.

The man looked so familiar to him that he almost had to do a double take. And the woman had a certain presence that naturally drew him to her. When they looked towards him, he was half way between them and where he was previously sat. He stopped dead in his tracks, as though he thought that if he didn't move, they wouldn't see him.

He looked at the man again. He had bright blonde hair, and dark blue eyes, exactly the same as Tidus'. He looked at his clothes; the old blitzball uniform of the Zanarkand Abes. Tidus took hold of his own pendant when he saw that this man had one too. He looked back up to see that the man was looking directly at him. Tidus was almost lost for words.

"Hello." Shuyin chocked, having to hold back tears of joy after seeing his son for the first time since the day in Bevelle.

Tidus sighed with amazement. "Hello." He replied, with a slanted smile, the one that Yuna loved.

Tidus watched as the man who was almost his double, turned to the woman on his arm. "Lenne, maybe this wasn't such a good idea. He has no idea who we are." Shuyin said, and the woman, who Tidus now knew as Lenne, glanced towards him, and then back to Shuyin before giving a defeated sigh.

"No!" Tidus protested, putting the palms of his hands up and taking a few steps forward. "No, I know who you are."

The couple perked up immediately and smiled at each other before looking back to Tidus. Tidus looked to Lenne first, "You're Lenne," and then to Shuyin with amazed eyes, "And you're Shuyin." He constantly looked back and forth between the couple, who smiled at him lovingly. "You… You're my real parents."

"See Shuyin, I told you he would know who we were, Mahra wouldn't keep him in the dark." Lenne smiled, never taking her eyes from her grown up son."

Tidus smiled at his parents, revelling in the moment of meeting them for the first time.

"What's wrong boy, lost for words at finally knowing where you got your good looks from?" Shuyin asked cockily, and then winced as he received a nudge in the side from his young wife.

Tidus chuckled. "No, I just… I can't believe that I'm actually getting to meet you both. All I've ever seen of you is photographs and songs." He smiled at Lenne. "This is amazing." Tidus paused. "But wait, how did you both get here from the Farplane, I thought that Yuna sent your souls forever?"

"We heard your heart beating, and we felt that you needed our help with something." Lenne smiled.

"What's wrong kiddo?" Shuyin asked.

Tidus blushed slightly in embarrassment. "I don't know what you're gonna say…"

Lenne took a step away from Shuyin, towards her son, making him look directly at her. "Tidus, we're you're parents. There is no need to feel embarrassed in front of us. Whatever it is, your father and I have already been through it. Trust me."

Tidus' eyes widened at the tone of her last two words. "Y'know, mom, just because you look like you're my age, doesn't mean you don't creep me out when you talk like that." All three burst into laughter

"Don't think it's just you that gets creeped out son." Shuyin chuckled amongst the laughter, "I thought she was a pain in the butt when she was in the real world, boy did I get a shock when we got to the Farplane."

"We're you're parents, it's our job to make you feel embarrassed." Lenne replied directly to her son.

Tidus continued to chuckle until just after Lenne and Shuyin had stopped. Lenne seemed to have a slightly unsatisfied feel about her, her eyebrows knit together as she looked at Tidus' face and she gave one sigh, the mood suddenly turning serious.

"Mom... ?" Tidus asked. "What's wrong?"

"Sorry, I just…" Lenne raised her hand slightly, trying to gently place it against his face. She felt nothing both air where there skin was supposed to touch. She sighed lightly, thinking that all hope was lost. All she wanted was to touch her son again, even if only for a brief second.

Suddenly she felt fingers interlink between her own, and she looked back down to see Tidus holding up their clasped hands. A smiled immediately stretched across both of their faces, and Lenne pulled Shuyin into the moment with her other hand. The three of them suddenly found themselves in a loving family hug, and even Tidus had to stop himself from tearing.

"Now then," Lenne smiled, pulling out of the hug that was long overdue. "What seems to be the problem?" Tidus sighed again and invited them to sit on the sand beside him.

Hours later, when the sun was about to set, Yuna ventured onto the beach, finding Tidus stood alone looking out that the golden sun that reflected off of the dark sea water. "Tidus?" She called out to him. Suddenly he seemed to chant something to himself a few times before turning around to face her.

He found himself face to face with her, and finally spoke to her. "Yuna, will you marry me?!" He asked.
