**Chapter 5**
Tidus had emerged from the sphere pool a few seconds after Shuyin and was in the process of wiping his face with a towel that he had left on one of the seats near him. He noticed Shuyin had walked off with Lenne to meet some people who had just arrived, probably friends of his. Although Tidus was friendly with Lenne he had no other real friends to speak of except Wakka. A tall orange haired athlete a few years older than him with one of the strangest accents Tidus knew, but had been buddies with him since he'd moved to Zanarkand a few years ago. He was also on the blitz team that he and Shuyin played for and was quite good.
'Tidus! Get your ass over here!'
Jerking him out of his thoughts, Tidus obeyed and slowly walked over to Shuyin and his little group. As he looked up to see who it was he was meeting his gaze slipped from the small blonde called Rikku to a taller brunette named Yuna. But what surprised him was how beautiful she was. The first thing that caught his eye were hers, they were odd colours, one blue as the sea and the other green as grass on a sunny day. But as he looked deeper they seemed to enchant him, light from the afternoon sun shone on them making them sparkle like jewels.
When he tried looking away he noticed she was staring at him with a slight look of surprise on her face. As he stared hopelessly at her all he could manage to say was:
'Nice to meet you both', in a shaky and unsteady voice.
Suddenly he felt his stomach fill with butterflies and his knees became weak. What was wrong with him?
***
'Wow...' Yuna thought to herself. His soft blue eyes resembled the colour of the sphere pool and were admiring her deeply. His damp blonde hair clung to his neck and face, even though some still flew off in other directions like his brother's it looked quite attractive.
'Wake up! What are you thinking! It's not Shuyin!' Yuna's mind screamed at her. But even though she told herself this, she couldn't look away. She felt strangely drawn to this damp stranger.
'Hello? Guys?' Shuyin said while waving his hand between Tidus and Yuna's eyelines, making both of them jump as if waking from a trance.
'Sorry', Yuna muttered looking at her shoes and blushing.
'Yeah,' Tidus muttered as a small half smile crept across his face. 'I've gotta go get dry... seeya,' he said before walking quickly off to the changing rooms leaving everyone to gaze after him.
'Sorry about him, I'll be back soon' Shuyin said running to catch up with his brother.
The girls stared after the brothers for a few seconds before Rikku broke the silence.
'I never knew Shuyin had a brother'.
'They look so alike', Yuna stated looking to Lenne for answers.
'That's because they're twins but not quite identical ones. Shuyin prefers the term brother because he was born first.' Noticing Yuna take this in and turn back to stare at the changing rooms where the brothers had just entered, Lenne couldn't help but ask. 'What was that all about earlier, Yuna? You two just seemed to stare at eachother... you're not getting ideas are you?' she teased.
'What? No way! Of course not!' Yuna cried at Lenne, obviously amused at Yuna's protests. 'It just surprised me how much they look alike, that's all'.
But deep inside, Yuna was unsure about her answer.

20 minutes later, both Shuyin and Tidus returned from the changing rooms, dry and ready to leave.
'So now where are we going?' Rikku asked.
'Now were going to catch the mono-rail to our flat, it's not far from here. Here let me help you Rikku,' Shuyin said before grabbing one end of her suitcase and helping her lift it out of the stadium. Tidus and Yuna took the other one while Lenne carried anything else left behind.
The group walked back to the barrier next to the train, bought 5 tickets and then boarded it. While the others talked, Yuna contented herself by staring out the window, amazed at the technology around her.
'It's cool, isn't it?' a male voice asked from just behind Yuna, who turned around to see gentle blue eyes gazing at the window and then her.
'Uh, yeah. It's really different from Besaid,' Yuna replied to Tidus.
'How?' he asked curiously,' Shuyin's been there loads of times but never seems to tell me what it's like.'
This surprised Yuna. Shuyin had lived in Besaid since she was eight, yet Tidus had remained here in this large machina city.
'Well, there aren't half as many buildings or as much technology. There is mostly trees and grass, and there are even a few waterfalls. Everything is quiet and peaceful, it's basically the opposite of Zanarkand really!' Yuna described to the curious young man.
'It sounds really nice there, I'd like to go someday'.
'Of course! I'm sure you'd be welcome, there really aren't that many people there now,' Yuna smiled reassuringly,' um...can I ask you a question?'
Tidus nodded, his attention completely on her.
'Why did Shuyin live in Besaid and you lived here?'
Tidus paused before replying,' my Mom divorced my Dad and decided she'd had enough of Zanarkand. So she took Shuyin to Besaid and I stayed here with my old man, but from what I've heard I wished I could have gone with her. Shuyin told me himself after his first few weeks there that he'd rather have stayed in Zanarkand with Dad, but after a while he began liking it. Could have been because he met Lenne.'
At the mention of Shuyin, Yuna looked down at her shoes awkwardly.
'Did I say something wrong?' Tidus was obviously concerned.
'Oh, no! Don't worry, I just... I felt a bit dizzy,' Yuna lied.
'Are you ok?' Tidus asked now sounding worried.
'I'm fine, thankyou,' she placed her hand on his arm reassuringly. Tidus looked down at it as if it was something he had never seen before. He then looked up to see Yuna smiling at him, he couldn't help but smile back.
Suddenly the train came to a halt announcing to the passengers where they were.
'That's us!' Tidus said enthusiastically to Yuna who couldn't help but grin at him. They began to lift Rikku's luggage off the train when Tidus randomly asked,' what has she got in here?'
'I have no idea,' Yuna said while laughing at what she imagined Rikku could pack in one suitcase. As she did Tidus couldn't help but laugh along with her. When Rikku came up to them asking what was so funny, they looked at eachother and couldn't help but laugh harder causing a lot of other people to look at them confused.
