"Why can't I be real again!" Yuna protested. "You are real,in spirit..." Asher said. "I want to be able to feel Tidus! To touch his body, for him to touch mine, and make each other feel safe again!" "There is only one way, and you can't do it." "What! I can do anything!" she said determint "You must tell him not to love you. And that you don't love him. Selfish love forbids you to return to earth. So, if there is nothing to return to, I can't see why you couldn't go back to earth. But, I will be watching. He must stop loving you completely. And you can not love him. You can't have him try and fool me." Yuna frowned. "Not love each other. But once the spark..and..and..the magic is gone, it will never come back.." she said. Asher nodded. "That is the only way you can go back. You best decide." Yuna was thinking of countless ways to make it work. She finally decided. She had a perfect plan....
Yuna was atop the clouds again, and she started to search for Asher. "Guardian!" she shouted. He was nowhere to be found. "Guardian! I seek your advice!" she yelled. She walked across the clouds, hoping to see his face again. He finally appeared, leaving Yuna relieved. "Asher, I have a way to go back to the Destiny Islands, if you will hear my plea." "Hmm. I suppose I could listen to your theory.. Speak." "Well. What if I send Tidus back to Zanarkand?" she asked. "Go on." Asher noded "Well, if he is in another place, completely different from where I am, we can not be together. So I can still love him, but not see him. It isn't selfish, I think it is wrong of you to ask for me to stop loving a boy who I care about so much. Don't you agree?" she asked, crossing her arms. Asher paced slowly. "So...you have passed my test. I was waiting to see if you would really stop loving Tidus so you could go back home. But, instead, you wanted to go home, and love him. And you found a way to do so. Congratulations Yuna..." He said. Yuna gasped. "You. you mean I can go back home, with Tidus?" she asked. Asher nodded. Yuna started to dance around the clouds, completely eclipsed in her own world. Asher smiled. He cast his hand out to her. "Farewell.." He whispered. Without her noticing, Yuna was beginning to drift towards earth. She was just swirling, and dancing, praising to be released again. Yuna's feet lightly touched the hot sands of the Destiny Islands. She looked around. "I made it. I actually made it!" she said happly. She ran up the beach, where Wakka was kicking a blitzball up against the side of the wall. "Lady Yuna...err..I mean, Yuna! You have came from the dead!" he exclaimed. He went to her, and lightly punched her on the shoulder. "Hey! It really is you!" Yuna nodded, and smiled. "Where is Tidus?" she asked. "I don't know. These past five weeks have been nothing but miserable. All he does is scan the shorelines, and search the jungles. He's searching for something, I know." Wakka said, with a sad look on his face. Yuna started to frown. "I will find him. And we will be happy again." Wakka continued with his practice, and Yuna headed towards the jungle. She made her way through the trees, and saw a sight so amazing, that she could hardly stand up straight. It was a rushing waterfall, and glittering water. Beautiful green plants surrounded the small base against the mountain wall. She saw Tidus sitting at the edge with his shirt off. Yuna knew he was trying to restore memories, because this place reminded her of their first kiss. And, since it was night on the Destiny Islands, it really brought back the feeling. She smiled as she watched Tidus dive in. When he stood, he was about chest deep. He looked up at the stars as he floated on his back. Yuna smiled, and then whistled as loud as she could. This completely took Tidus by surprise as he quickly looked over. He stood there, staring at Yuna. He rubbed his eyes gently, and she waved. She took of her shawl and over skirt, and she was left in just her baby blue shirt, and jasmine green pants. She rested her staff against a tree, and dove in. She swam underwater towards Tidus, and popped up right in front of him. Tidus had a grin on his face. "How...how did you come back." "I..had to pull some strings." She replied. He looked away. He started to walk slowly with a sad look on his face. "You look sad Tidus. What's wrong?" she asked. "Nothing. Just, I don't know..thinking about my old man again." He said. Yuna put her hand on his shoulder. "Whether or not you want to believe it, Sir Jecht was a very good man." "Maybe to you..I just, can never bring myself to say the same." Yuna giggled and said, "Wanna scream?" Tidus smiled. "I don't think that will work. But, I know of something that will help." "What's that?" she asked. Tidus waded slowly towards her, and grabbed her waist. He pulled her closer to him, and leaned closer to her. "Ring any bells?" he asked. Yuna nodded slowly, and kissed him. It seemed as if time had stopped just for that very moment. Tidus slowly pulled away. "Don't you ever leave me again." Yuna shook her head. "I won't." They continued to kiss, and Wakka was spying on them. He laughed. "Just when I think I know those two...I couldn't be more wrong." He said to himself...
Wakka walked back to the hut, when he saw something. "Selphie? Nauvo? Somebody?" he asked. He didn't know what it was. He walked around the corner to get a closer look. He jumped back, and landed on his side. "Lulu!" he shouted. She was a crystal-like ghost. "Are..are.are you dead?!" he asked. "Shhhh!" she said. Wakka nodded. "Don't be so loud. Lady Yuna can't know I am here! I'm not a ghost, I just used some magic to get here. Tell Lady Yuna that all of Spira is in need of her. They want to worship their summoner who slayed Sin and brought eternal calm. Just deliver this message. Do not tell anyone about this meeting, just say that I sent moogle to tell you." She explained. "But...you can't leave now! I haven't seen you in a year! Can't you stick around some more?" he asked. Lulu shook her head. "Deliver the message to Yuna." She said. She snapped, and water whirled around herafter that...she disappeared... Wakka was still dizzy from seeing the sight of her again. He always knew she was bossy, and when she told him to do something, he had better do it. He started to walk towards the secret waterfall. "I sure hope Yuna takes this okay..ya." he said to himself.
"The town is celebrating. Sure wish I was in that parade.." Mulan said. Kairi nodded. "Deep down, surely the army knows you were an essential part. Don't worry about it." Mulan sighed. "I guess...I really did make some friends there. Yao, Chein Po, and Ling. We had some good times." Mulan giggled. "Yeah. I miss my friends too...." Kairi frowned "Alright, alright. Enough with the mushy stuff. Let's just go see the big party, and get home. I just want to get my punishment over with so I can rest again!" Mushu said. "Soon Mushu..soon." Mulan and patted him on the head, and made her way through the crowd. Shang was walking up the steps, about to receive his award. Mulan stared up at him, and waved faintly. He glared, and bent down before the emperor. "Hello all of my citizens of China. Today, we celebrate the victory of our Army in defeating the Huns!" he announced. Mulan wished so badly to be rewarded. All of that work, just for nothing? Suddenly, Mulan spotted the leader of the Huns army. He and his soldiers jumped down, and grabbed the emperor. The crowd gasped in amazement. Mulan grabbed her razor-sharp sword from her case. She raced up the steps, as if trying to fight them off herself. Shang held her back. "What do you think you are doing?" he asked with an evil look on his face. Mulan released her arm from his grasp. "Woman or not, our emperor is in grave danger. I will do whatever it takes to save him!" she protested. Shang's mean look began to turn into a slight smile. "No. I won't let you." He said. Mulan tried to run past him, but failed. "You won't do it without me." He said. Mulan smiled, and they ran up to the palace doors. "They won't budge. We'll have to take a different way in." she said. Shang nodded and followed Mulan down to the crowd, and they found Chein Po, Yao, and Ling. "Okay, here is what we will do..." Mulan whispered the plan to them, and they all said "Right!" Mulan ran up the stairs, and Yao and Ling went straight to the to the maidens' shop. They came out, and ran to the palace doors. Yao tossed Shang a red sash, and he and Ling had make-up on. They quickly put some on Chein Po, and dressed him in a long gown. "What is this mayhem for?" Chein Po asked. "We must disguise to distract the guards inside." Yao explained. All of them looked at each other, and Mulan nodded. They twirled the sashes around the grand base cylinders, and started to climb, using the sashes as support. Once inside, Shang and Mulan headed for the emperor's royal bedroom. Yao, Ling, and Chein Po went straight to find the guards. A guard said, "You have no business here." And withdrawed his sword. Ling took out his Chinese art fan, and started to fan it around his face, giggling. The other three guards gathered around. "You others..go! She, may stay if she wishes." The guard said. Ling giggled, and said, "But they are my brothers..." Yao nudged him. "Uhm..err.. I mean sisters." He giggled. One of the guards whispered to the other, "I see no family resemblance... " Chein Po stepped forward. "That is not very nice, not at all. Do not judge based on appearance. It's the heart that matters." He said. The guards had an awkward look on their faces. Yao held out an apple. "Let us go to the restroom, and we will offer you this apple." He said sweetly. "Fine, go." He said. The guard stood, and the other three escorted them to the restrooms. They followed them in. "Ahem. Can't a lady get her privacy?" Ling asked. The guards nodded, and stood about face. Yao grabbed his sash, and choked the guard. The guard fainted, and Ling and Chein Po took on the other two. Once that was done, they all headed back for the first guard. Meanwhile, Mulan and Shang were rescuing the emperor. They headed for the outside. The leader of the Huns was still sitting atop the roof, waiting. Mulan ran up to the north tower where Mushu and cricket were sitting with fireworks. They shot of the smallest ones, and took the remaining guards out. Mulan turned around, and the leader was there. Mulan stepped out, careful not to lose her balance on the small beams. Mulan fought him off. Once she had him almost finished, Mushu tied the biggest firework to the leader's back. "So long! Nice ta see ya! Wouldn't wanna be ya!" he laughed. The rocket took off, and took the leader with it. Mulan went to the palace doors, and walked down the steps with Shang. Shang's assistant, Chi Fu came out and said "What a mess! How can this happen! I have had it!" Shang, Yao, Chein Po, and Ling protected her. "Do not protect that worthless thing!" Chi Fu said. "She's a hero!" Shang protested. "She's a woman!" Chi Fu replied. "You listen here you pompous..." The emperor walked down the steps. Chi Fu stands with a sinister look, getting ready to write down the emperor's words on his notepad. Mulan bows. "I've heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father's armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese army, destroyed my palace, AND...you have saved us all." The emperor said. He bowed. Chi Fu had a profound look on his face. To her surprise, Mulan turned to face the crowd. They were all bowing in unison with the emperor. "My little baby's all grown up, and savin' China! You got a tissue cri-kee." Mushu said. "Chi Fu." the emperor said. "Yes your Excellency?" he said. "See to it that this woman is put on my council." He said. "B.b-bu-b.but sir! There are no open positions on the council!" he said. The emperor turned to Mulan. "You can have his job." He said, pointing at Chi Fu. Chi Fu was wobbling, almost falling to the ground. "What.my.." he said, as he fainted. Mulan turned and bowed to the emperor. "With all due respect your Excellency, I have been away from home long enough." She said. The emperor nodded, and took off his pendant. "Then take this, so your family will know what you have done for me." He said. Mulan bowed, and let him slip it over her neck. "And this so the world will know what you have done for China." He said. Mulan wrapped her arms around him and gave him a big hug. "Is she allowed to do that?" Yao asked. Shang, Chein Po, and Ling shrugged. Mulan walks over to her friends, and Yao and Ling hug her. Chein Po wrapped his arms around all of them, and lifts them off the ground for a big bear hug. Once Mulan was released, she walked to Shang, and stopped. "Mulan." he said. Mulan said, "Yes?" While anticipating something good. "Um.you...you fight good." He said. "Oh. Thank you." She said, her anticipation turning to disappointment. Mulan runs down the steps where Kairi and Mushu are mounted on Khan, Mulan's horse. "Let's go home." She said. Mulan hops on, and they ride off to her house. Once there, Mushu goes straight to the Gods to prove what he has done. Mulan and Kairi sat in the garden, talking. "Well Kairi, thank you so much for all of your help." Mulan said. "Oh, it was nothing." She giggled. "Here, I want you to have this." Mulan said. She reached around her neck and unclasped a necklace. "It was mine to have until I found a way to honor my family. I have no use. So maybe, it will bring you luck on your journey." She said. Kairi hugged Mulan, and said, "Well, I better get going. Don't want to stray too far from my mission." She said. Mulan nodded. "I hope you find your friends. Just remember, be strong, Never give up and Have strength." She said. "I'll remember that." Kairi said. She was walking out of the garden, and heard Mushu said, "Hope ya find what you're lookin for! Don't forget us all!" Mushu shouted. Kairi waved, and turned back to see that Shang had came to see Mulan. Kairi smiled, and kept walking. "Mulan. Uh..you, you forgot your helmet. Or your father's.uh.." he said. Mulan stood up. Her grandma was telling her mother, "Sign me up for the next war!" Mulan smiled. "Would you like to stay for dinner?" she asked. Her grandmother said, "Would you like to stay forever!" Shang smiled. Mulan shook her head. "Dinner would be great" he said. Kairi was once again walking down the path very lonely. What a fun time she had. I guess Sora felt the same way when he helped others. Kairi stopped in her tracks. She saw a shadow. She walked quickly towards it, and stopped just in time. The ground plunged into a deep darkness. There was magical purple dust floating around. "Could it be....." Kairi thought. She looked around and jumped into the hole....She knew it...Riku was near...
