Here's the last chapter! Actually, that's kind of a bad thing...Well, I've really enjoyed writing
this story like you couldn't believe, and so yes, I will make a sequel. I'm going to be titling it,
"Journey After Remembrance"! As for the plot, I think I have it kind of figured out how I'm
going to do it, but it's going to be totally different from this one, and is going to be somewhat
random at first, but I think in the end it might be a pretty decent story. It's going to be based on
these weird dreams I had once, and the ending might be rather surprising! (Actually, if it ends
like my dream did, it might be just a little sad!) No worries though, I'm not too into tragedy
stories, so nothing too sad. Oopsie, there I go rambling on again! Well, I just wanted to thank all
of you that reviewed, and inu1lover, you don't need to review the same thing ten times. Once is
enough! Do you really think I'd try to disappoint you guys? Anyway, just thanks again for all of
the reviews, it really made this story what it is. Okay, here's the last chapter, (FINALLY!) and I
hope you enjoy it! (Don't forget to watch for the sequel!) Oh, which reminds me, this chapter is
short, for my standards, anyway, but I'm too excited to get to work on my sequel! It's kind of
more like an epilogue kind of thing anyway. Oh well, you can finally start reading the chapter!
So, please enjoy and tell me what you thought of my story overall!

Chapter 14: Dancing the Night Away

The light ended, making Yuna feel somewhat dizzy, and Yuna found herself surrounded

by darkness, and for a while wondered where she was. She recognized quickly that she was in

water, but she was quite unaware of where exactly she was.

She swam up to the surface, taking a deep breath, being that she suddenly felt extremely

out of breath. She looked around, hoping terribly to find Tidus.

It was dark, and she could hear noises from behind her, causing her to turn around and

realize that she was in Luca, in the exact same place she had been before going to Zanarkand.

She was suddenly aware that someone had resurfaced behind her, and she turned around

swiftly, praying that it'd be Tidus.

"Giving up?" Yuna's heart sank as she realized that it wasn't Tidus at all, but the cocky

Blitzball player Quell.

"Huh?" Yuna said, looking around. It seemed to her that she was in the exact place she

had been before going to Zanarkand. Had it really all been a dream?

"What's wrong?" Quell asked, sweetly, swimming closer to Yuna.

"I'm tired of phony sweet voices!" Yuna yelled, finding that she had tears streaming

down her face. She couldn't believe it had really all been a dream.

"Are all summoners weird, or is it just you?" Quell asked, and Yuna decided she didn't

care if he caught her. What did it matter anyway?

"You wouldn't even be here if I weren't popular," Yuna said, facing Quell, "Don't you

realize it's not all about popularity?"

She almost laughed. So this is what irony really was. She had gone to Zanarkand, where

the star Blitzball player would only go for the most popular girl, and now she was back in Spira,

where for once, she was the most popular girl, and the Blitzball player wanted her. If only it had

been like that in Zanarkand...

"That didn't happen," Yuna reminded herself silently.

"So anyway, you goin' out with me or not?" Quell said, sounding angry, "Or am I gonna

have to force you to."

"Force her to do what?"

Yuna turned around at the voice, wondering where it had come from. Quell turned

around too, looking every way and finally yelling, "Who's there?"

"Me!" Yuna saw something splash, and take Quell under.

"Oh my goodness!" Yuna gasped, putting her hands over her mouth wondering what was

in the water that had just taken Quell under.

She saw Quell emerge from the water, and was swimming toward Luca as fast as he

could, with poor Yuna still floating there, wondering what was going on.

"He was botherin' you, wasn't he?" Yuna turned around to see the smiling face of Tidus.

"You made it!" Yuna cried, swimming over to him, "I was afraid you didn't...Uhm, and

was afraid I had dreamt all of Zanarkand."

"Nope, I'm here!" Tidus said, "After you left, the sphere was still there, so I just had to

push the play-back button. It took me a while to figure it out, that's what took me so long."

"What did you do to Quell?" Yuna asked breathlessly, realizing that she had been

treading water the entire time, "Tell me when we get back on land, okay?" She started off in the

direction that Quell had swum off to, with Tidus on her trail.

"Slow down!" Tidus moaned, "I'm tired!"

"I thought you were the star Blitzball player!" Yuna teased, and sped up.

"Where are we anyway?" Tidus asked, as he swum up next to Yuna.

"Luca," Yuna said, "There's a party. It seems as if time didn't pass while I was in

Zanarkand. You see, I found the sphere while Quell was chasing me, and then I was transported

to Zanarkand. When I came back here, I was in the exact same place I'd been when I was

transported."

"So that guy was giving you trouble," Tidus said to himself, "What he want with you,

anyway?"

"Same thing you wanted with Lea," Yuna replied courtly, sighing as she said this, "It's

sad it comes down to that, know what I mean?"

"Sure, sad," Tidus said, suppressing a smile as he said, "But why do you think I like you,

Yuna? 'Cause your popular!"

Yuna playfully smacked Tidus in the arm, giving him a glare, although her smile gave it

away that she wasn't truly angry at him.

"As for that creep," Tidus explained, as the two reached land, "I didn't do anything to

him but scare him. He's a big wimp. Good thing he doesn't Blitz or anything..."

"But he does," Yuna put in, smiling.

"He won't last long," Tidus just said, and took Yuna's hand, "So, what are we doing in

Luca?"

Yuna explained to him about Rikku taking her to the party, and how Rikku had expected

her to find someone to replace Tidus.

"Dang, looks like I haven't found anyone to replace you!" Yuna exclaimed when she was

finished, and put her hand up by her forehead, "Now let's see, where could I find someone to

replace you?"

"Tease all you want," Tidus said, "You know there's no replacing me!"

"Whatever," Yuna just said, taking Tidus' hand, "Well, let's go thank Rikku. If it hadn't

been for her, you wouldn't be here now."

"Okay!" Tidus said, dragging Yuna along as he followed the music, "But since when has

Luca had big parties? Did they have these the last time I was here?"

"Remember," Yuna reminded him, "A lot of things have changed since you were here."

"Yeah, I know," Tidus said, as if he was feeling badly about something.

"Yunie!" the two turned as Yuna's blonde cousin came running up to them, her arms

flailing as she did so, "No way! You...Hey! You're back!"

Rikku smiled fondly at Tidus, and said, "See, I told you this party thing was a good idea!

But, how? When? Explain everything to me!" The Al Bhed girl was now jumping excitedly,

and had grabbed both Tidus and Yuna's hands and was running toward a bench, dragging them

along, "Now come on! Explain!"

"Glad you haven't changed," Tidus said, although the sarcasm in his voice was quite

obvious.

"You're a Meanie, you know that?" Rikku said, sticking her tongue out at him.

"Yeah, Yuna told me I was too," Tidus said, smiling.

"Anyway," Rikku said, her smile reappearing, "Tell me everything! And where have you

been Missy?" Rikku crossed her arms at Yuna, and Yuna smiled, knowing that to Rikku, she'd

only been gone maybe an hour, while really, Yuna had been gone for nearly four to five days.

"Well," Yuna said, smiling, "Let's just say I had a run-in with a city called...Uh,

Zanarkand!"

"What?" Rikku practically yelled, causing people walking past to stare at the three.

"Well," with a smile toward Tidus, Yuna explained everything she could, minus some

certain events.

"Wow, you really are a Meanie!" Rikku said, punching Tidus lightly in the arm.

Tidus didn't smile at the intended joke, and Yuna took his hand as if to reassure him that

it was fine.

"You came through in the end," Yuna said softly to Tidus, as Rikku said she was going to

get a hold of everybody to tell them the good news, "And that's what matters."

Yuna kissed him lightly on the cheek, and stood up, bringing Tidus with him.

"Now come on, let's enjoy the night while we can!" Yuna said, and Tidus smiled, as he

led the way to the dance floor.

Music blared and people were everywhere, but as Tidus looked up at the stars, he

couldn't help but feel as if everything were peaceful. And perfect.

"I'm glad to be back," he said finally, after staring in thought at the stars.

"I'm glad too," Yuna said, staring into the stars.

And with that, the two danced the night away, ignoring the curious Al Bhed, who

implored them with more and more questions as soon as she returned from telling everybody

about Tidus' return.
