~ [A Nightmare of Conflict]~
The trip had been going well so far. Squall had taken a liking to the larger city and in particular the famous vendor in the city's center. Why you ask? Well.. it was where Tidus had previously purchased the nutella sweets he'd given to him awhile ago, and wouldn't you know it... for the two days they had spent here so far Tidus was asked to go back constantly for more. Someone doesn't know how to save his sweets.... The hustle and bustle of the city was quite rampant today, but then again.. Luca was always busy. Busier than most places in Spira anyway. The athlete was tasked with once again, picking up the hazelnut treat for the lion, but almost every 5 minutes Tidus was stopped and asked for an autograph, a photo.... a date or two even. [which of course he politely declined but made a promise to dedicate a goal to said fangirl.. or boy]. Thankfully Squall was back at the inn resting and did not have to endure such ...rowdyness. However... I wasn't expecting it.. in fact I thought that he was off somewhere far away, I thought I wouldn't see him for several more months maybe..that's how it was for us. He came.. then he went.. and so much time always passed in between.. .... This time.. I had good news to tell him.... ...This time... I learned something ... something I thought was just a dream... or rather.. like a nightmare.
Standing there in the crowd, luminous blue orbs were staring back at the athlete. His eyes always stood out to Tidus, they were enchanting in that way. Everyone else had faded out of thought and the chatter of fans disappeared in his mind. Excitement started to grow and he pushed through the crowd, muttering 'sorries and excuse mes' to the people. No one else mattered, his friend was back again and there was a bright smile growing wider with each second as he drew closer.
" ... Cloud!"
