A/N: Well Hiya! Okay, so I'm still new to this website in means of putting stories up, so it's gonna take some time for me to get use too, so I apologize if it's a little off.

Well, I've decided to clean up my computer and get some of my fanfictions off it and actually put them on here, so Yay! Right?

Anyways~ This is a story I wrote a while ago, it's a cross between most Final Fantasy games, mainly FFX-2 and FF7, but it has random characters placed in it from different animes and other games.

What ships are in it, you ask? Oh hell, well to start with theres Rikku/Gippal, Yuna/Tidus, Aerith/Zach, Tifa/Cloud, Yuffie/Vincent, there's a slight Brother/Buddy (Because I feel like crap when characters end up all alone), there's also LuLu/Wakka, LuLu/Chappu, Rikku/Chappu, Leane/Shuyin, Elena/Reno, Yuffie/Reno, Rikku/Baralai, Paine/Baralai, Paine/Gippal (I guess if you look really hard), Elma/Clasko, Genisis/Zach (Yeah, what?), Nooj/Lablanc, Barthello/Dona and actually there's alot more then just those, but my fingers hurt from typing. If there is any ship you'd like to see just let me know and I'll see what I could do.

I've got 10+ chapters written in this so.. yeah.. it takes a little while before all the fighting and stuff happens.. so enjoy, I guess.

Rikku's p.o.v.

Hello. My names Rikku, I have a father named Cid, and a brother named… Brother. I'm not really sure what I should write, honestly, the only reason I'm actually doing this is because Yuna, Buddy, and Aerith say that being stuck up here is making me restless, which it is. Aerith keeps telling me that I should be finding something to do other than practicing my battle strategies and Yuna threw a notebook at me and told me to write, zang (jerk.). Well, I guess I could tell you what it is we're doing. An ex-crusader named Sephiroth is planning on using a weapon called Vegnagun to "fix Spira", but the only problem is by "fix" he means blow up!

We've been up in the Celsius for two weeks searching for Sephiroth without any signs. It's so frustrating! Speaking of frustrating… I haven't heard from him since he left to go join the Crimson Squad…. I don't even know if he's okay… I should probably start at the beginning, shouldn't I? Well, this whole thing started with the new guy.

Chapter 1.

I had just got out of school so I was busy thinking about everything that had happened during the day. I was a freshman in an all-girls school called, Guado High School for Girls. Yup-Yup, you guessed it; it's a school in Guadosalem. I was heading towards to Shoopuf, which would take me across the river to the Moonflow, and from there I would walk the path to Djose Temple. Well, it wasn't really a Temple anymore; Yevon turned it into an all-boys school since my cousin Yuna defeated Sin permanently. Brother and Buddy go to school there as juniors, and we all walk home together, since Buddy lives with us now.

"Rikku!" The very energetic voice of my best friend snapped me out of my thoughts. I turned around to see Yuffie running towards me, her short black hair was wind-blown and her red tie was almost completely loose, while her white button up was unbuttoned showing her dark blue tank-top. Her tan jacket, which was part of our schools uniform, was stuffed into her bag, "Rikku, wait up!"

I waited for her, when she caught up to me she bent over and rested her hands on her knees, "Where's the Great Drake?" She joked trying to catch her breath.

"Sorry," I smiled, "Just wanna get out of this monkey suit."

"Don't we all?" she laughed as we started walking again. When we got to the Loading Dock to ride across the Moonflow the Shoopuf was already leaving.

"Oh Poopie! We missed the first one!" I pouted crossing my arms. Yuffie pointed out across the water,

"It's okay. Look! The second one is almost back!" It didn't take long for the Shoopuf to let the riders off and for the rest of us to get on. We crossed the water to the Northern part of the Moonflow where the path to the boy's school was. When we got off the Shoopuf we pushed our way through the throngs of people that were standing around.

"Hey! What took you guys so long?"

We looked around for the owner of the voice and we found her. Tifa was standing in front of a bench. Like Yuffie she had her jacked off, and her button up unbuttoned showing her black tank-top. Her black hair went down past her butt, and was tied together at the end by a white ribbon. Next to her was Aerith who was sitting on the bench with her uniform still in tack. Her long brown hair went to her middle back and was tied up in a ponytail.

I smiled and pointed at Yuffie, "Somebody moves as fast as a Tonberry!"

"That's not true, Rikku! You were just walking to fast!" Yuffie exclaimed. Tifa and Aerith giggled, the latter stood and brushed off her skirt,

"Ready to go?" I fist pumped the air, "Yup-Yup!"

We started walking towards Djose, Yuffie jumped and skipped, speaking in a sing-song voice, "Breaks in a week. Breaks in a week~!"

"Yup-Yup! Can you say excited!?" I high-fived Yuffie.

"What are you going to do for break, Rikku?" Aerith asked.

"Well firstly Pops is taking me and Brother to Besaid to see Uncle Braska and Yuna. Then we're going to Zanarkand to watch a Blitzball game.. Oh! And Buddy's coming too!"

"Doesn't Buddy go with you everywhere?" Tifa asked.

"Yup-Yup!" I nodded with a smile. Buddy is like my second brother, he came with us from Bikanel after the Yevonettes attacked Home. He's always been here for me especially when Brother being a jerk.

"Sounds exciting!" Aerith smiled, "You're lucky that your dad's the head of the Al-Bhed, Rikku. You get to go to so many amazing places." Tifa and Yuffie nodded in agreement.

"Hm.. I guess I am pretty lucky.." I smiled to myself. We were quiet for a few moments, other than Aeriths soft whistling. Yuffie broke the silence as we came to the fork in the road where you could cross the bridges to Djose, or continue on the path to Mushroom Rock Road.

"Do you guys wanna train tonight?"

"I can't.." I said as we walked across the first bridge, "Pops just got back from Bikanel Desert so we're having a family dinner." I groaned, "And he's bringing some kid back with him.."

"HA!" Yuffie laughed, "Sucks to be you!" She turned to the others, "What about you?"

"I'm game." Tifa said, "And Aerith is coming home with me tonight so you know she is too!"

"Alright!" Yuffie cheered and jumped off the second bridge onto a rock, "Eteudc cekrdat!" (Idiots sighted!) She called pointing to a group of boys, who were sitting on a boulder in front of her.

"Rao! Fru oui lymmehk eteudc?!" (Hey! Who you calling idiots?!) Brother complained.

"Oui!" (You) Yuffie smiled.

"Alright! Come here!" Bother pulled her down and put her in a head lock.

"Hey Buddy!" I waved as I walked over to where he was sitting. Aerith was walking behind me, while Tifa decided to jump up and stand where Yuffie had been a moment before.

"Hey Ku, Air, Tif." Buddy smiled, he was sitting next to Kayhaku, one of their close friends. He had brown hair that was slightly un-kept and blue eyes which was rare for an Al-Bhed.

"Hey Bud." Tifa said jumping down off the rock. She sat Indian style with her bag in her lap to keep her skirt down, and used the rock as a leaning post. Aerith sat down next to her with her legs out to her side. She picked started playing with a flower that had grown in the shade of the rocks.

I plopped down next to Kayhaku, "Man! Why can't our uniforms be like yours?" They boys got to wear blue ties, and black pants and jackets! Ours are tan, and we have to wear skirts! LAME! Kayhaku chuckled,

"Sorry Rikku, but I like your uniforms."

"You just like them because of the short skirts!" I pouted and crossed my arms.

"Aerith isn't short, it goes to her knees." He pointed out.

"So you have been looking!" I faked a gasp, "Tsk, tsk. Bad Kayhaku." Then smiled, "Speaking of Aerith, those boys are staring at you and Tifa again."

On the other side of the school yard there was a group of boys. One with long red hair that was tied into a low ponytail, one with spikey blonde hair, and one with spikey black hair.

"The blonde one is kind of cute." Tifa commented.

"What are their names, Tif?" I asked.

"I'm not sure… but they're friends with my brother. I'll ask him."

"Speaking of Mister Sensitive, where is he?" Kayhaku asked. Buddy gave him a look that said, 'You're the weakest link.'

"He's with the new kid remember?" Buddy shook his head and his friend then turned to me, "So Rikku, are you cooking tonight, or are we going out to eat?"

"Yna oui lnywo? Ev cra luugc ed'mm pa buceuhat!" (Are you crazy? If she cooks it'll be poisoned!) Brother exclaimed still wrestling with Yuffie.

"Crib ib, zang!" (Shut up, jerk!) I yelled while everyone laughed, "I'm a good cook." I said pouting. Tifa gave me a shoulder hug,

"Of course you are, sweetie." I looked to Aerith for support, only to find that she wasn't even paying attention. I followed her gaze and it landed on the spikey black haired boy that was staring at her earlier.

"Oh, ho, ho!" I giggle, "Aerith has a crush!"

"W-what?" Aerith asked giving me her full attention now.

"You know what. You sly little dog you!" I pointed at the black haired boy, "You totally like the dark haired cutie!"

"Shh! Rikku!" She said throwing her flower at me. The group of boys must have heard me because they turned around and were now looking at us again. Tifa leaned over and whispered,

"We should go talk to them."

"Hold that thought." I said as I jumped up and waved to them. They waved back but they looked slightly embarrassed now. I turned to Tifa, "Do you think your brother would introduce us?" At that moment the school doors opened and out walked Tifa's older brother.

Tifa's brother was named Vincent. Vincent had pin-straight black hair that fell down into his face a tad bit and the most beautiful blue eyes ever. They were dark blue around the outside and ice blue near the iris. Buddy and the other boys call him 'Mister Sensitive' because of his pretty eyes; they say only girls are supposed to have sparkly eyes. Yuffie and I also like teasing him about how pretty his eyes are, and how cute it is when he tries glaring at us. That's pretty much the only time his smile disappears. I looked away from him and noticed there was someone walking a little ways behind him.

"Hey, who's that?" I asked tipping my head to get a better look at him.

"Huh? Oh, that's the new guy." Buddy said standing up.

"Ra'c…..liga…" (He's…..cute…) I muttered under my breath. The new guy had short blonde hair that was spiked up in the front, and his skin was tanned from being out in the sun. His muscles were very noticeable, even though the school uniform. His right eye had an eye patch covering it, while his other eye was a bright shade of green.

Or at least I had thought I said it under my breath, till Yuffie said, "Cute guy where? I was see the cute guy!" She struggle to get out of the head lock that Brother had put her into again. When she finally got free she spun around and ran smack into Vincent.

"Hehe, sorry Vincent." Yuffie smiled shyly. Now, let it be known that Yuffie is never shy, nor does she every get embarrassed.. unless she's with Vincent.

Vincent sighed and looked at her with a serious face, "You really should be more careful, Yuffie." She nodded once and his serious face slowly turned up into a smile as he continued, "Now.. what's this about seeing a cute guy?"

It took a lot of self-control for Tifa, Aerith, and I not to burst into laughter when Yuffie's face turned red and she started opening and closing her mouth.

"You look like a fish!" I giggled without being able to stop.

"CRIB IB!" (SHUT UP!) Yuffie yelled and jumped towards me, causing me to step back. My foot slipped off of the rock.

"Rikku!" Brother yelled, "Muug uid!" (Look out!)

I wasn't that far from the ground, just about a foot, maybe even two. So I didn't understand what he was so worried about. I hit the ground with a thud, but it sounded more like a "MMPH!" and it took me a minute to realized the ground was warm and…soft?

'Great!' I thought, 'Brother wasn't worried about me. He was worried about the person behind me.' I outwardly groaned at my own stupidity.

"Yna oui amnekrd?" (Are you alright?) The boy I landed on whispered in my ear. I shrieked, jumped up, and ran into Buddy who stabilized my balance and turned me around so I was looking at the person I landed on.

'Great! I landed on the new guy!'

Vincent and Brother grabbed the new guy's hands and helped him up. He brushed the dirt off of his clothes and looked at me. Unsure of what to do I stared back in tell Brother elbowed me in the side,

"Rikku!" He said rolling his r's like he does anytime he's about to yell, or lecture me about something. "Apologize for landing on him!"

"I-I… um... sorry." I said looking at my feet.

"Oh. You must be Cid's girl." The new guy smiled, "He told me you were a klutz."

"Hey! I have a name!" I frowned, "And I'm not a klutz I just like hugging the ground!" I heard Yuffie snicker from behind me,

"Nice, Rikku. Nice."

"I bet you do, Cid's girl." He chuckled.

"It's Rikku!" I snapped annoyed and rolled my eyes, "And you are?"

"I'm Gippal."

"Nice to meet cha, Gip!" Yuffie chimed in, "I'm Yuffie! That's Aerith and Tifa. That's Buddy and Kayhaku, this is Vincent, and that thing with the Mohawk is Brother! Although I bet that you already knew that since you've been in school with them all day."

Gippal chuckled, "Alrighty then. I think I understood that." He paused, "It was nice meeting you dudes, but I gotta split." He walked off towards where the boys park their bikes; he got on one and drove away.

Tifa made a clicking sound with her tongue, "Well isn't he mister talkative."

"Maybe he's shy." Aerith suggested.

"Or arrogant and cocky." Brother mumbled.

"Speaking of Vincent," Yuffie smiled, and Vincent raised an eyebrow but smiled back,

"When did I become the topic?"

"Right now!" Vincent rolled is blue eyes as Yuffie elbowed Tifa in the side.

"Big brother," Tifa gave her best innocent smile, "I love you so m-"

Vincent interrupted, "What do you want?"

"Introduce us to your friends!" She pointed at the group of three boys.

"Hahaa— No."

"What? Why?!"

"Because there is no reason for you to know them."

"What? That's not even fair," Tifa exclaimed, "you know all my friends, Vin!"

Vincent thought about it for a moment, "True, but I'm your big brother so it's my job to make sure you're not hanging out with the wrong people. Plus, you really don't have very many friends."

Yuffie and I busted out laughing as Tifa gapped at her brother, "That's not true!" He shrugged,

"Give me one good reason and I'll introduce you." As Tifa started to think, I jumped up and down,

"Oh! Oh! I know! I got one Vincent!" He shook his head with a small smile and pointed at me,

"Yes.. Rikku?"

"You should introduce us because they seem fun." I paused, "Plus, Aerith likes the dark haired one, and Tifa thinks the blonde is a cutie!"

"RIKKU!" Tifa and Aerith yelled.

"And the red haired one?" Vincent asked skeptically. The four of us girls looked at each other and shook our heads. Vincent skeptical face cracked, letting his signature smile take its place as he started chuckling. His smile was almost as beautiful as his eyes, according to Yuffie. "Oh, Reno won't be happy to hear that." After what felt like forever Vincent finally said, "Alright, I'll introduce you, but not now. We need to get home." He turned and walked towards his bike, "Tifa. Aerith. Let's go."

"See ya!" Tifa waved following her brother.

"Bye guys." Aerith smiled, "Behave yourself tonight, Rikku."
