Authors Note
Hello there readers of fanfiction! -
Welcome to my lovely first Final Fantasy X2 story. Well, Yuna&Tidus story anyways.
Now first of all this story has nothing to do with the game.
So, Yuna was never a summoner, and Zanarkand isn't a big pile of rubble.
So, yeah, if there's something funky in this story that happens. I'm sorry. ':D
Anywhoo. I hope you enjoy this! I'm gonna try and update as fast if I can. But I tend to run out of idea's with my other story's, so who knows.
Enjoy the first chapter!
Disclaimer
Nope, I don't own Final Fantasy. Or anything else in this story. Sadly, I know. Life's so depressing.

Day One
This was it.
Nobody said it would be easy.
Everything she had in Besaid-Friends, Family- She was moving on.
Taking her chances at a new life. One that would be exciting, and one where she could spread her wings and be free.
Just like Rikku said.
"C'mon, Yunie! Get up! Go out and have an adventure for once! Go spread your wings! Yevon knows they've been locked up forever!"
And she was right.
She needed to go out. Get in trouble for once. Something new. Something totally not her.
So, here she was, in the city that never sleeps: Zanarkand.
Bi-colored eyes gazed up at the tall, tall, buildings. A large smile spread across her face as she stood in the middle of a crowd with a backpack slung over her shoulders, swaying slightly out of habit like she normally did as she waited for the cross walk light to flash green.
But she never was going to get to see that light flash green.
"Uff!"
"Eep!"
She slammed into the ground. Eyes squeezing shut, and skin scraping against the hard cement. Oh, that was gonna hurt in the morning.
"Oh, god, I am so sorry! Are you okay? Ugh-I can't believe tha-a-Whoa.."
She blinked, looking up at the person who had pushed her over, and was now apologizing.
A man, his mouth left open agap as he gazed down at her with this bewildered expression. Shiny blonde bangs falling in front of his azure eyes.
"Uhh..."
"Heh, it's alright. No harm done." He blinked, watching as she stood up, brushing the invisible dust off her shorts before giving him a small smile.
"Uhhh..Yeah, sorry..Ummm-I-I'm Tidus!" He stammered, extending out his right hand which she gladly accepted before replying with a,"I'm Yuna."
"Yuna...That's a pretty-"
"There he is!"
"Quick! Grab him!"
"Uh-oh..."she blinked, twisting her head to the side watching as a group of screaming and shouting girls struggled threw the crowd towards them.
"Quick! Run!" she didn't have time to respond before she was suddenly being tugged through the crowd, away from the screaming girls. Her hand clinging to Tidus', desperately trying to not let go.
"I-uh, what's g-going on-ah! Excuse me!" She shouted back at the man who she had just accidently knocked over. Normally, she would have gone back and helped the man, saying,"I'm so, so, so, so, sorry! Are you alright?" But, she wasn't really given much of a choice considering she was still being pulled along by Tidus through the city of Zanarkand.
Yeah, this was a first meeting she was never going to forget.
They where panting now. Her back pressed up against the alley wall while he stood beside her. Her hands folded over her stomach, while her head was bent down towards the ground.
"Well..That was...Fun." she heard him say, slipping to the ground still trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah, we should do that again sometime," she replied sitting down as well- earning a chuckle from him at her comment.
"Oh, yeah. Can't wait tell next time," he answered, laughing a little more as he ran a gloved hand through his hair.
"Why exactly," she paused, taking in a deep breath,"were those girls after you?"She asked, turning her head to the side to stare at him. He smiled slightly, locking eyes with her before answering.
"Blitzball Star." She made a small 'O' shape with her mouth before looking straight ahead. A Blitzball star? Whoa, whoa, he was a Blitzball star?
"You're a Blitzball star?" She was interested now. Bringing her legs closer towards her body, she wrapped her arms around them and looked back at him.
Tidus nodded,"Yup. Star of the Zanarkand Abes!" He exclaimed, an excited smile smearing across his lips as he punched the air.
"Wow... My friend, Wakka, he's captain of the Aurochs back in Besaid. That's as close as I've ever come to meeting a famous Blitzball star. Until now, that is."She giggled slightly, one arm still wrapped around her legs while the other played with the blue beaded earing.
"Really now? The Aurochs...Yeah, I remember them. We played them in Luca I believe."He said, nodding his head at the memory.
"Yeah...I didn't get to see that game.. actually- now that I think about it. I...never really go to the games.."
"Whoa, Whoa, Whoa. Wait a minute! You're telling me that you've never seen a Blitzball game? Like in a stadium with people screaming and the real deal?"Tidus cut in. His expression down right shocked.
"Uh, well I've been to one...when I was..five.. and I've seen them practice, and-"
"Nonononono! Not the same thing. You've been to a game once, and you were five! That settles it. Tonight: 7:00 you're going to the game, your going to watch the game, eat weird food that they sell there, scream, and cheer until you can't scream and cheer anymore! Got it?"Tidus cut her off again, looking her straight in the eye with a very serious face.
And all she could do was laugh and nod her head.
"Alright then," she let out another small giggle,"I'll go. And is this star Blitzball player: Tidus of the Zanarkand Abes, going to be in tonight's game?" She smiled again, as he stood up. He extended his hand to help her up which she gladly took.
"Nah, I'll be too busy screaming and cheering with this girl I just met. Oh, and that's Mr.Star Blitzball player: Tidus of the Zanarkand abes to you, missy."He answered, in a teasing tone, ruffling up her short brown hair.
It was strange. She had only just met him, and already they where chatting and laughing like they had been friends forever. Maybe Rikku was right. It was about time she went out and spread her wings. Maybe living here wouldn't be so bad after all.
"But what about your team? Don't they need you?"
"Ah, they can handle it! I can't carry them around forever!" He joked, grasping her hand while leading her out of the alley.
"Now shhh. The fangirls could be lurking around any corner. And unless you want to run all the way back to your house, we better be sneaky. ...which reminds me, where do you live?" She laughed, taking a couple steps forward until she was about a step or two in front of him, still holding his hand.
"C'mon, Mr.Star Blitzball player: Tidus of the Zanarkand Abes. I might be new here, but I'm pretty sure I can find my house."
"Ah, right. Because Lady Yuna has a great sense of direction, and can find anything!"Tidus teased, as they headed down the crowded streets.
"That's right!"
Day one: 15 complete. A new town, a new house, a weird meeting, a new friend. And she was happy even though she was away from her friends and family.
Soooo, was it horrible? -winces- Ehhh, I'm sorry- Sorry,Sorry,Sorry! -bows- Please don't hurt me. But i'd be very happy if you reviewed! And tell me what you think! I'm sure the next chapter will be better! And we meet more people! Yippie! Well, please Review! Until next time!
