Chapter 4

Nightmare or Dream?

For the first time, Yuna felt happy…maybe a little, she thought to herself. It was way past midnight and Rikku was so tired that she fell asleep on the couch instead of walking back to the air ship alone. Yuna walked over to her window and watched the starlit skies. The sparkling sea below her shimmered under the pale, yet fierce moon. The breeze played a little tune and Yuna began to hum Suteki da Ne. The melody intertwined with the summer breeze as she remembered her memories with Tidus. In Macalania forest, he had kissed her…her first kiss. She had begun to fall in love with him earlier in her pilgrimage against Sin. He was there in flesh and blood, yet he was only a fading dream in the end.

Yuna clenched her fists and pounded the wooden windowsill angrily. She wanted him back so badly; she wanted to feel his breath on her neck, his gentle kisses, and his warm embrace. Everywhere she looked, everything reminded her of him. Blitzball, Besaid, Luca, even all of Spira reminded her of Tidus.

Tears began to flow slowly from her eyes as she flew back to her recent memory of him, the night they defeated Yu Yevon and he faded away… She had told Tidus that she loved him there and then. And when he tried to hug her slowly knowing that he wouldn't feel her, her heart broke as he ran through her. She felt his soul fly through her body, and her spirit met his. He jumped…he was a dream nothing more…

Rivers of long held tears began to fall as her hands clutched the wood tight. She wanted him so badly, so badly that she wanted to destroy everything to feel him again, yet he left, he had no choice! She felt so selfish and then angry at the Fayth, at Sin, at everything, including him. Her tears slowed down as she looked straight down at the streets below her, the pavement seemed so cold. Then the ground changed to water and Yuna knew then and there, that was where she would last stand and say her farewells. The flash fled and Yuna saw the street again.

"I hate you…I hate you all…" Yuna whispered, letting the breeze grab her voice and carry it across the somber waves below.

This was different, her dreams were horrible. Yuna stood in Zanarkand and watched a Blitzball match in session. Crowds of people cheered for their teams as Yuna walked up the stairs to see a large sphere. It's two teams still playing for the win. She looked at herself and noticed she was wearing black shorts with a yellow hoody. Her hair was tied up and she seemed to be carrying a Blitzball! Someone grabbed her by the arm and began to yell at her.

"Why are you here? Why aren't you in the sphere?!" the man tried to yell over the cheering fans and music. But she couldn't understand him, so he began to drag her somewhere. Yuna didn't try to stop him and so she followed obediently. They ended up in some locker rooms, and there was a team waiting to play the next match. They were crowded around someone and listening to that person. The man next to her suddenly left and Yuna was all alone and a bit confused. This was her dream? She cleared her voice and some of the players turned to looks at her. One woman smiled, "Oh I guess you're our new player. Welcome to the Zanarkand Abes!"

"The Zanarkand Abes?!" Yuna managed to say. But this is my dream! I have to wake up, this is not possible!

"Don't worry, if our star doesn't make it in time you'll be able to play." Another player joked.

The door opened behind her and she jumped away to see another young man appear. It was…him. The blonde hair, the same outfit, his smile…

"Hey Tidus, here's our new player, but she'll be benched for a while, unless one of us gets hurt." The woman explained. Tidus turned toward her and looked her over, while walking up to her. She closed her eyes and tried to whisper his name, "Ti…Tidus?" Everything seemed quiet in the room, yet she had her eyes closed, though she swore she felt his presence…

"No, it is I Lady Yuna." Yuna shot her eyes open and screamed when she saw Seymour standing, looking at her. Pyreflies swirled around both of them. The team was gone, the room was gone! Everything was black and she screamed again.

"YUNA!" Lulu shouted, finally waking Yuna up. Yuna couldn't stand it and buried her head onto Lulu's lap crying her eyes out and almost choking on her own sobs. Lulu was a bit startled and ran her hand through Yuna's hair, trying to sooth her little sister.

Wakka stood in the doorway, looking at the scene and slowly shook his head at Yuna crying uncontrollably. He felt helpless…

"Damn you, Tidus." He whispered.
