Rikku x Gippal -

I don't recommend this if you haven't played the game FFX-2, or if you're not a fan of the Gippal x Rikku pairing. Otherwise, I hope you'll enjoy it! ;) I sure had a great time making it! Sorry for my bad English though…

A short introduction:

It has passed two whole years since Yunas, Paine and Rikku defeated Vegnagun, and most of Spiras people are now living in peace and harmony. At some places there might even be hard to find proof that it even had existed such a terrible thing as 'Sin' or Vegnagun. But not everywhere...At some places it's easy to see that 'Sin' and Vegnagun actually existed. Take 'Home' for example, the Al Bheds former home. At places like that, it is hard to understand that people really used to live there.
But now the Al Bheds are trying to rebuild 'Home'…On the order of the Al Bhed leader; Cid.

Chapter one:

Rikku walked around in the Al Bheds camp, looking for her father. She had some new machina parts that he'd been waiting a really long time for…If she just could find pop… It sure was loads of tents here..! It would take forever to find Pops! And it was really hot too…

She sat down for a while on a little rock on the ground, looking out over the camp, which was full of life. Kids were running around, playing with little machina toys, old women sat in the shadow of their tents and prepared lunch for their kids and grandkids, young men and women were working at this time of the day, some of them worked here and some of them worked right in the ruins of 'Home', some kilometres away from here. Rikku belonged to the group which worked here, a pity really. It was so boring around here, nothing to do at all…except for working of course. But that's just because her father didn't want to have her out of his sight for even a second…And to make things even more boring… HE wasn't here; he was in the other group.

Rikku smiled for herself as she thought of the annoying Gippal who never missed a single chance to tease her.
At first she was delighted that he was in the other group, because then she would finally be able work in peace. But after a few days, she began to miss him. Nowadays he was mostly here with her only for the late evening and night, and then he was so tired he hardly teased her at all.She did hardly even see him at all…But sometimes he had a day off and…Wait! She didn't have time to sit and think about Gippal now! She had to find Pop!

A while later she did find her dad, who really became very happy about the new machina parts. He said that thanks to these parts, their work would go even faster than before, which made Rikku a little bit happier. Soon she would live in a normal house again! They went into her fathers tent and started to make something for lunch. Just as lunch was ready, Brother showed up. He always did like that. Guard Rikku, get mad, sleep, eat, eat, eat, guard Rikku a little more…Nah, she wasn't really so fond of her brother, but maybe she loved him….Just a little… He was her brother after all…

At the dinner table (which was made of some empty barrels) Rikku took a deep breath and decided to ask her father when the other Al Bheds, including Gippal, would come back. It was already getting dark and she was a little worried.

"Pop…" she started.

"Ye-" was all her father was able to say before the curtains in front of the "door" opened and a familiar, smiling face looked in through them.

"Sorry to interrupt, Cid" Gippal said with a smile that made Rikku all happy inside. He was home, at last!

"Gippal!" Rikku said with a smile she knew was a very childish smile. Gippal looked at her and smiled back. " Hello there, Cid's little girl! How are ya?" he said in a very teasing voice.

"Ooooooo! You meanie! I have a name!" Rikku said smiling, pretending to be mad. Gippal turned his head to Cid again "Just wanted to say that it's going pretty good back there…You should come over and look. I'll be at my tent If you wanna say something" as he said the last sentence he looked at Rikku, as if it was meant just as much to her as well. Brother seemed to notice that too, because he started mumbling to himself as he did when he was angry for some, often stupid, reason. He didn't like Gippal, that was easy to tell. Gippal smiled at Cid, who smiled back in a way that made Rikku wonder if her father too had something against Gippal. Not good. Without thinking more of that, she ate her lunch up and told her father and Brother that she was going out for a little 'walk'. A long walk, she added just in case she would stay for a long time with Gippal, because that was, of course, where she were going. But she was smart enough not to say anything. She went out of the house, singing a happy song as she walked her very short 'walk' to Gippals tent.
