The Runaway

Epilogue

"Yuna, I can't believe that you and Tidus are engaged! I'm so happy for the two of you's."

I smile at Rikku, who is sitting with my outside. The two of us are watching Tidus and Wakka play Blitzball. "Thanks Rikku...I can't believe that this is actually happening to me." I smile and look out at the endless fields of grass, stretching out before me. I can't believe that I'm actually happy, really really happy, and safe. I don't think I have ever felt this safe in my life. I guess life can change before your eyes, sometimes without you even realizing it. I didn't realize how much Tidus, Lulu, Wakka and I all have in common...or had anyways. We were all looking for something...something that was missing from our lives. Whether it was just an adventure, or what I found. True love.

It's been three months since that day in my Uncle Cid's home. That wonderful day when Tidus said that he loved me more than anything, and asked me to marry him. Things really have changed, for one thing, who'd have thought that Lulu and Wakka would get together? Wakka was confused, and he wasn't really sure what he was feeling, but he finally admitted that he loved Lulu. Rikku...well Rikku, she's a little on the hyper side, but I couldn't ask for a better cousin, or a better friend. I'm lucky, and sometimes I think about how I got so lucky, what did I do to finally deserve this? I guess I may always question it, but I know that whatever I did, I'm glad.

My mother may have been killed, and I know for a while I felt like she abandoned me, but you know something, she didn't really. Yes, she left me with that man, that man who I thought was my father, but to be honest, in a way I'm glad. She was happy, and that's all I ever really wanted. I'll never meet my real father, but I don't let it get me down, because I know now, that I'm not destined to be some sick minded person, so abuses others for his own pleasure. I'm more than that.

I have cut in these three months, and I'm not going to say that I haven't had the urge because believe me, I have. Tidus helps me through it though, one day at a time. I'm lucky, and I'm happy. My life has changed, and I'm glad.

"Yuna? Yunie? Are you even paying attention to me?" Rikku stands up and starts jumping up and down in front of me.

"Yes Rikku I'm fine, and I'm sorry, but I wasn't listening." I smile sheepishly, and look down, as Tidus, and Wakka walk towards Rikku and I. Lulu walks out of the Travel Agency and hugs Wakka.

He wraps his arms around me, and kisses my cheek as he smiles. He whispers in my ear. "Yuna, are you happy?"

I just smile back and kiss him. "Yes Tidus, I am happier than you'll ever know."
