The water's warm{Open}

[Tidus]

Besaid, this is pretty much the place that started it all. It was the place where his journey really started. He'd washed up on the beach here, over two years ago, and was hit on the head by a blitzball. That's how he met Wakka and the Besaid Aurochs. It was also where he met her...Yuna. Everything started here, but if it wasn't for Sin....he'd never have met any of them. If it wasn't for his dad...Jecht, he'd never have lived the life he did. If it wasn't for his father, nothing like this would have happened like it.....

Whack! Tidus had lost himself in his thoughts, and with that, had floated straight into a stone, that lay on the beach of Besaid. It was just like that day he'd washed up on Besaid. With a soft smile, he gazed up at the sun that was high in the sky. Light from it settled upon the water's surface, giving it a soft glint, glittering it. It was like the day he left Besaid. When all those people came to see Yuna and her guardians, her friends off on her Pilgrimage. It was that day, he saw Yuna in the daylight for the first time.

Alas, the water was warm on this day, as the sun dotted it plentifully. He had not seen Yuna in quite a few days, he hadn't seen anyone in fact. He wouldn't even have minded if Lulu had come by just to give him a lecture on letting Yuna blossom on her own, and not be carried around like a child. It would not allow her wings to form. Or something like that. Alas, he'd not seen them or anyone. It was beginning to plague him slightly, that even now, after everything he'd been through, he still relied so heavily upon his friends. That he struggled by without them.

The water was nice and warm, it reminded him slightly of the Blitz-sphere. Dipping his head under the water, he began to swim around, gazing at the amazing underwater oasis. He smiled softly, remembering when Wakka pushed him off that ledge and they had to swim to Besaid Village. Spinning circles in the water, he went towards the surface again, breaking it, then pushing onto his back. Floating there on his back, he felt like the world had stopped. Just for this short moment, all was peaceful.

The last thing he remembered was floating. And then it was all dark. But when he opened his eyes again, it was all so bright, he covered his eyes with a gloved hand and made a distinct sound of disapproval. He didn't like the searing, burning sensation in his eyes that the light caused. Slowly, but surely, he lifted his hand from his face and cracked an eye open, it was still unbelievable bright, though. As he swiveled his eye around in its socket, he discovered he was on a beach (which explained the sand). He pushed himself up to a sitting position and caught sight of some ruins up on the rocks. The place was pretty peaceful, and the SOLDIER first class might even like the beach, on any other day.

But today...he was just trying to figure out where he was and....when he was. Before he remembered floating, he remembered giving Cloud the buster sword. Why would he do that? Because at the time, he was dying of multiple gunshot wounds, given to him graciously by SHINRA, the company he had stupidly devoted his life to. But now, at this moment, he didn't have a painful scratch on him, or a sword. He didn't like that, but at least he wasn't full of small, bleeding holes.

He spotted something in the water and after a moment of wondering what sort of beast it was, he figured out it was a human. The gender was still in question, because all he saw was the head and the occasional arm stroke, not enough to properly ID something. He pulled his gloves off, and made a face at the amount of sand in them. He'd be cleaning sand out of his uniform for a month, now! That wasn't particularly fair. What did he do to deserve that sort of punishment?

Okay, better yet, where was he and how did he get there?

Maybe this was the Lifestream? That almost made sense. He cupped a hand around his mouth and waved his other over his head head, "Hey! Am I dead?" For someone else, that might have been a stupid question, but Zack Fair clearly remembered that he had died. And if this was the Lifestream, then that person might be dead also and then maybe they could figure out what to do, together.

[Tidus]

Tidus kept swimming, going underwater, and trying to find the odd fish, then coming back to the surface for the wonderful breath of air. Slowly he turned around and began to swim back to the beach. The few people there were dressed quite appropriately however, there was one....who didn't quite look like he belonged. On a beach, or even somewhere in Spira. Perhaps, he'd come from some underground city, or a hidden city in Besaid. Although after all scouring he did of the island, it didn't seem highly plausible.

Slowly Tidus rolled onto his back and moved his legs up and down slightly, pushing towards the sand. Tidus had swam a far way out. Dangerously far, seeing as he'd not brought any weaponry on himself. Yet it didn't worry him so much as it would have use to. He was much more experienced then he was when he first embarked upon his journey with Yuna, and knew how to avoid most 'fiends' that were in the waters of Besaid. Ever since Sin was defeated, fiends as well, have become fewer and fewer, he'd been told. He hadn't seen as many it was true, but....

Tidus, took in a gulp of water accidentally as the odd-looking guy, shouted something out. "Hey! Am I dead?" It was a bizarre question, although I suppose it would make sense. He'd been laying on the shore when Tidus came down to the beach originally. Perhaps he like Tidus, has washed up on Besaid. Tidus would have thought himself dead too, if it wasn't for the fact that he got clonked on the head with the Blitzball the Aurochs were practicing with when he washed up.

Tidus went vertical in the water, still a fair way out from the sand, but close enough, for him to get an alright look at the guys face. He didn't seem dead, and Tidus was pretty sure he was alive, so only one answer. "Unless your a 'fiend', I'd say your alive!

[Zack Fair]

Beaches were fun for the whole family. Zack liked beaches, he loved vacations, and he loved seeing people enjoying themselves (read: seeing hot girls playing beach ball). However, he didn't enjoy it in full armor. He stretched his arms over his head and felt his back pop in a few places and he groaned a little. He felt stiff and sore all over, which wasn't good at all. He worked himself up into a standing position and he felt all the sand that had weaseled its way beneath his armor and he groaned. He disengaged himself from what armor he could and still be clothed appropriately, which meant he took off his boots, shoulder pads, shirt, belt, and socks. It was a shame that his underwear was skin tight and white (and revealing) or else he'd be glad to shed his pants as well, but he figured since he was at an unknown location, he decided it was best to keep them on. He took a few steps into the water, enjoying the chilling feeling it brought and he happily rubbed what sand off of him their was and then he just enjoyed the feeling of the sun on his shoulders.

He looked up when the guy replied to him, which was actually pretty relieving. He liked the fact that he wasn't dead, though he knew at one point he definitely was. "You wouldn't happen to know where we are right now?" Please be Costa De Sol. Please. It would be nice if he was at the resort, though maybe not. Costa De Sol was owned by SHINRA, and those were the guys that killed him, so it wouldn't make sense for him to be there. Zack was just hoping for something familiar, but he honestly had never seen this place before, and what fashion he had seen from the people on the beach and on the guy (he could now discern) wasn't something he remembered every seeing at Midgar or anywhere near it.

He rubbed the back of his head as he tried to mentally get to the bottom of this, but all he could remember was getting shot (a lot), giving Cloud the Buster Sword, crying a bit, and....floating. He was pretty sure the floating was legitament and not just his injured ass being carried off by Cloud or someone, but him actually floating away in the air. Like he was joining the Lifestream. However, if he really died, then how did he come here? And if that guy was right and he wasn't dead. Well, things just didn't add up. At all.

[Terra]

Terra rides through the ocean and realizes that some people were here in this island. Terra thought this island was just beautiful. It reminded him of Destiny Islands. He jumps off his keyblade cycle and jumps as if he was going to dive in the water. His keyblade vanished into thin air and his armor vanished. He lands on the beach where he sees a man removing his own clothes and diving into the sea. Terra decided to fold them up and place them near a rock. He decided to remove his shirt and pants. He was wearing shorts since he was wearing something that looked like skirt.

It was hot so Terra decided to jump in. He was swimming around and diving underwater. He felt like he forgot something important. He performed a back stroke and closed his eyes.

He thought of Ventus and Aqua, how they would love to swim with him right now. He also thought of the last battle he had and the wound he got in his right arm. He couldn't feel any thing but blood was flowing out of his body and to the sea. He decided then that he will not allow such darkness to be free.

He spotted a dirty blond haired guy swimming around. He swam towards him and made his keyblade appear because he had pictures of Aqua and Ventus attached to it.

"Hey, have you seen these two people and have you seen a man with long silver hair and vicious green eyes with a sword that is taller than he is?"
