Final Fantasy X - Just Smile

"We have to go back!" Lulu spit at Cid. Cid shook his head violently.
"And get ourselves killed? No way!" He gestured to his pilots.
"Tidus told me to go back! He said I'd find something!" Lulu pleaded. "Please, take me back!" Cid looked at her curiously.
"Did he say what it was?" She shook her head, tears forming in her eyes.
"What if he's alive?" She said shakily. Cid gestured to his pilots again.
"To the Calm Lands! Hurry up!"

The pyreflies were gone. Tidus lay on the grass, panting heavily. He grabbed at his chest, sputtering. Sin was gone. Tidus smiled. A small bundle was next to him, and he smiled at it.
"Remember. . .just smile." He whispered softly before disappearing into the air with a quiet breeze.

"Tidus!" Wakka called, cupping his mouth. Wakka, Lulu, and Rikku were combing the Calm Lands, searching for anything. So far, there was nothing.
"Wakka! Rikku! Come quick!" Lulu called from his left. Wakka ran over quickly, followed by Rikku. Lulu squatted near the ground, lifting something carefully.
"What is it?!" Rikku bounced over to Lulu. Lulu let out a sob and collapsed to the ground. Wakka bent near her.
In her arms, Lulu held a small bundle. A tiny baby lay inside, with short soft brown hair. She opened her eyes slowly. They were mismatched. The baby smiled at Lulu, grasping her hair with her tiny hand. Out of her other hand fell a sphere. All where silent when Rikku pressed the small button. Tidus came up on the sphere, in his pajamas.
"Guys, I know I've hurt you again. And I'm sorry. But this time, Sin won't be coming back." He paused, scratching his head. "I'm no good at this. Just remember, that I really care about you all. And please, take Yuna to the Moonflow. For me." The image of Tidus disappeared. Rikku burst into sobs.
"Tidus. . .he. . .Yunie. . ." Lulu took the baby up into her arms. Wakka gently put an arm around her.
"Rikku. We are going to raise Yuna. And we are never going to forget Tidus." Lulu spoke shakily, holding the baby against her chest. Rikku nodded tearfully. Wakka took her hand.
"Let's go home, ya?" They walked off slowly to Cid's airship, holding the tiny baby. Tidus watched from above, watching as Wakka took Yuna from Lulu and kissed her tiny face. Satisfied, he disappeared into the skies.
"Yuna. . .always smile."
