Chapter 1

Rikku rolled over and yawned quietly, looking at her small clock. It ticked over to 10:34am. Rikku sat up and stretched her arms. She hauled her body out of bed and let her bare feet hit the carpet. Rikku placed her nightgown strap back upon her shoulder and walked over to the bathroom and started the shower, making the hot steam fog up the mirrors. She stripped herself from her nightgown and stepped in, flinching slightly at the heat. She unbraided her hair, letting the beads fall onto the shower floor in a cluster of clinking.

Rikku rubbed the hot steam off her mirror and brushed her long blonde hair. It was tangled and unruly, making her a bit embarrassed to wear it down in public. She tied it in a low ponytail and wrapped herself in a soft cotton towel as she exited the shower. Rikku walked from her bathroom down the hall into the kitchen to grab a breakfast bar to eat while she got ready for the day when she saw the fridge door open, a masculine figure digging through her grub.

Rikku stepped back a few feet, cocking her head slightly when Gippal appeared from behind the door, a packet of fudge sweets in his mouth, a glass bottle of pop in his hand.

"Eeeeeee!!!" Rikku squealed at the top of her lungs, making Gippal drop the soda, causing it to break and splash all over the kitchen floor.

"I was just...err...uhh—"Gippal tried to explain when Rikku threw a hard plastic cup in her reach at his head.

=============== =============== =============== ==============

Rikku changed into a soft pink long sleeved shirt and low-rise dark blue jeans. Her blonde hair was tied in a messy bun behind her head. She was still barefoot as she walked back into her kitchen, her hands on her hips.

"What are you doing here?" Rikku asked tapping her foot and emphasizing the words 'you' and 'here'.

Gippal scratched the back of his head looked nervously at the blonde Al Bhed who was giving him 'the evil eye'. "Umm...you see, I was giving people invites to a holiday celebration back in Djose. And...um...yeah..." Gippal trailed off nervously. "Didn't mean to barge in when you were doing your...um...duties."

Rikku rubbed her aching forehead, trying to better understand the stuttering Al Bhed.

"Since when do you get off your lazy butt?" Rikku asked, a touch of sarcasm in her voice.

"Well...it's my party." He argued, giving her his cockiest smile.

"Okay," she said shaking her head. "So how did you get in here is what I'd like to know."

Gippal held up a small silver key.

"HEY? Where'd you get that?" Rikku whined.

"Paine," He responded. "She said it was the only way I could get you to wake up...but when I came in you were already awake." He said, waving the key in her face.

"Uuugh Paine is SO dead!" Rikku said crossing her arms in front of her chest.

Rikku went to snatch it when Gippal lifted it higher, out of her reach. "Aww that's cheating!" she said sticking out her tongue.

"You might as well come with me since your...err...decent now. Everyone's heading out to brunch." He said placing the key on her coffee table.

"Yeah...I guess I can." She said opening the door to the outside.

Gippal held out his arm to escort her to the restaurant. "Shall we?" he asked, grinning.

Rikku rolled her eyes while smiling. "I guess so." She said taking his arm with her hand.

The cold Besaid winds blew throughout the streets, causing bits of soft snow to blow around here and there. Rikku moved a bit towards Gippal, shivering from the cold. Gippal looked down at her in surprise, a soft shade of pink slightly making its way across his cheeks.

"We're here." He said, standing in front of the restaurant.

Rikku dropped her hand to her side and then shivered once more as they made their way into the entrance.

=============== =============== =============== ==============

Everyone was there. Wakka was helplessly trying to calm baby Vidina while Lulu stared at him, amused. Paine was trying her hardest to ignore Baralai who kept tapping her and trying to get her to talk. Yuna and Tidus were in touchy-feely mode, ignoring the rest of the group, even when Gippal and Rikku arrived. Leblanc was also trying to get into touchy-feely mode with Nooj but it wasn't working out too well and even Rikku felt bad for him. (A/N: Everyone is in Besaid because Brother went to go pick up all of em and then he could bring em all to Djose at once )

"HIYA!!!!" Rikku said making sure she interrupted everyone there.

"He finally got ya to wake up, ya?" Wakka said, rocking Vidina in his arms.

Rikku crossed her arms and looked at Wakka, her eyes narrowing. "I woke myself up thank you very much." She defended, removing her lavender scarf.

Tidus had gotten up to...err...relieve himself, while Paine was yelling at Baralai in hope to discontinue his constant pokes and 'Hey Paine's. Baralai (in terror) decided to settle down.........under the table. Gippal took his seat beside Leblanc while Rikku was still looking around at everyone.

"Umm...where am I gonna sit?" Rikku whined. She walked over to Yuna. "Yunie! Can I sit next to ya?" she asked, her bottom lip quivering and her eyes sparkly cute, trying to lay the guilt trip on her.

"Sorry, Rikku. Tidus is sitting here." She said patting the chair.

Rikku stomped her foot and slid over to Paine. "Paine?" she asked sweetly.

"Sure thing." She said sliding the chair back for Rikku.

A fist slammed on the chair as you heard a muffled voice from beneath the table. "That would be my seat." Baralai said as Rikku landed her butt on his fist.

She squealed. "Owwwie..." she cried, rubbing her sore bottom.

"I guess that leaves the seat next to Gippal." Yuna teased, raising her eyebrows.

"Ugh!" Rikku turned on heel and stomped over to the chair next to Gippal, plopping down it, arms folded over her chest.

=============== =============== =============== ==============

Rikku was trying desperately to cut her sausages while Gippal watched her and snorted every now and then.

"Ok! It is NOT funny!" she cried, dropping the knife and fork on the plate. "If you think its so funny, let's see you do better!" she said sliding the plate over to Gippal. "Bring it." He said grinning, and grabbing the fork and knife.

Rikku rolled her eyes. Then the plate slid back to her. She looked down to see the sausage the same as she gave it to him. "See?" she said sticking out her tongue.

When she finally almost cut off a bite it flung onto Gippal's lap, leaving a small spot on his clothes..

"Hehehe...whoopsies..." she said picking the piece off his leg and going to place it on his napkin, when she knocked over a large bottle of syrup on the table.

"Oh...hehehe...my bad." She said wiping it up nervously with wads of napkins.

The rest of the group watched the ungraceful Al Bhed try to wipe the syrup from the floor the table and Gippal's shirt. He felt like a baby and that she was cleaning him up from spit up or something.

He looked at the others and shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

=============== =============== =============== ==============

Stomachs full, the group walked onto the freshly fallen snow, making it crunch beneath their shoes and boots. Suddenly Tidus felt a cold impact on the back of his neck and turned around in alarm.

Rikku was standing there smiling innocently as Tidus gathered a bit of snow from the ground and thrust it at Rikku. She dodged the flying snowball and ran at full speed at Tidus knocking him into Yuna.

Yuna turned around and helped Rikku push Tidus into the snow. They knocked him over and then ran away, both hiding behind Gippal.

Gippal, noticing they were using him as a human shield, pulled from their grip and ran up to Tidus.

"You're on my side?" Tidus asked packing a snowball in his gloved hands. Gippal answered him by throwing a snowball at Rikku's shoulder.

Then Yuna ran forwards to Tidus while Rikku ran at Gippal. Yuna knocked Tidus onto the ground, herself falling with him. She looked down at him and pecked his nose playfully. Rikku was about to push Gippal onto the ground when she stopped, both of them looking over at Tidus and Yuna. Rikku took her hand off Gippal's chest, which she was going to push him down with, and then blushed.

"Uhh...guys?" Rikku said looking nervously at the couple.

"Guys?" Gippal asked looked down on them.

"GUYS!!!!!" Rikku screamed making them stand up.

"You mind?" Gippal asked.

Yuna lowered her head and blushed, "So sorry." She giggled, as Tidus ignored her, throwing a snowball at the back of her head. "Hey!!" she wailed, chasing after him.

Rikku looked up at Gippal and blinked.

"Um...we should get going." He said walking forwards. "What an interesting couple." He said.

Rikku nodded. "Yeah." Then she looked to the front of the group to see Leblanc leaning against Nooj's shoulder as they walked. "Poor guy... "She muttered to herself.

Then she looked deeper into the group and she saw Baralai place his hand on Paine's waist. Rikku blinked. "Wait! No reaction from Paine? No it can't be!" she thought.

"Aaaaahhh!!!" she screamed in horror. "Everyone's a couple!! So much love!! Eep!! The worlds ending!!" she squealed, scaring the living daylight out of Gippal.
