"No one could say whether or not it'd be a matter of time before the end.....no one could say whether or not there was still hope. Not even a smart kid like Shinra could predict a completely different universe."

Gippal tapped his foot and looked around the calm lands. Not a single person was out and this made Gippal anxious. He drummed his fingers on his biceps, raised his eyebrows and sighed loudly. "Damn, can they be any slower!?" He yelled," I could be an old man by now with the pace their going!"
"Gippal, you are as impatient as a squatter monkey," Rikku muttered as she tapped him on the shoulder.
"Look, it's Cid's kid. How's it going?" He asked and patted her on the head.
Rikku pouted and Yuna stepped up beside her. "So why did you want to meet us here, in the Calm Lands?" She inquired.
"I think you'll be mildly interested in a little something I found."
"A sphere?" Paine asked.
A small wind treaded across the land and Gippal smirked. "Maybe it is a sphere, yet it's too priceless to be a sphere and too big."
"What is it Gippal? You're making me impatient!" Rikku whined.
Yuna walked ahead and gazed over the land, her eyes didn't even blink. She turned to the group, shrugged and looked at Gippal. "Please, Gippal, tell us why you summoned us here."
Gippal threw up his hands and placed them behind his head. "Oh, you're no fun, high summoner."
Paine frowned. "There's no time for fun when there are spheres to be found."
Gippal nodded slowly and lowered his hands. "Well, I found this...portal."
"A portal? You summoned us here for a little portal?" Rikku asked with a groan.
"This portal is huge! I'm not lying when I say a whole nation could fit in at the same time."
Paine folded her arms over her chest and raised her eyebrow. "You want us to check it out?" She asked.
Gippal turned to Paine and smiled. "Exactly, I have business to attend to back at the D'jose Temple and there is machina parts to be excavated. Be seeing you!" He said and walked away.
"You think he just wants us to stay away from the temple?" Rikku asked as she watched Gippal leave.
"No, I think he was being truthful about the portal. I think he exagerated about the portal's size though," Yuna replied with a skeptical look.
Paine sighed and her arms dropped down to her sides. "Well, let's get going. There may be a sphere inside that portal," she said.
The three nodded and left for the airship.
"Umm...guys, did he say -where- this portal was?" Rikku asked.

Gippal tossed a red sphere into the air and caught it with one swift catch. He smirked. "I should have given them this sphere, oh well. Even when I have no use for it," he mumbled.
He turned and chucked the sphere over the bridge, towards the water. Gippal brushed his hands off on his pants and proceeded to walk back to the temple. "Hey! Gippal!" Rikku's voice echoed.
Gippal looked around and suddenly a weight fell on him. He released a grunt before he landed face-first into the dirt road and Rikku sat, unhurt, on his back. "S-sorry, Gippal! I must have made an error of where I was to land," she said with a laugh.
Rikku got up off of Gippal and waited for him to stand. "You forgot to tell us where this -portal- was."
"I did? Oh, well it's in Luca and just a step or two past the gate. I don't know if the guards will let you through though," Gippal replied as he scratched his chin.
Rikku frowned and grabbed his shirt. "You're coming with us then!" She exclaimed.
"H-hey! I have things to do and machina to build!"
"That can wait! Besides, you have other Al Bhed who are able to do that work!"
Rikku smirked and Gippal closed his eyes, giving in to defeat. Still, he thought with a smile, this could be quite an adventure.

How was it? Review if you'd like to. I know it's short, so don't say " hey, this is short!' because I can see that.
