It was a dark, cold morning that day. Everything was quiet. Even the birds that used to sing every morning was silent. On the Celsius, Yuna Paine and Rikku was still in their beds. It was to cold to get up, and they where tired after the day before!

So they just stayed in their beds. There was nothing else to do really! But yesterday they had.. Well.. What they always did. Fighting. For their life's. To save Spira actually. And yesterday was not an exception. But now it was over. They hoped so! Because yesterday they fought vegnagun. And not without damage! To themselves and Bevelle. In fact, almost the whole city was in ruins! You could call it Bevelle ruins now if you wanted to. And all because of vegnagun. And Shuyin!

But now it was all over. Now it was just the city that had to be rebuild. Ruined. But there was nothing to do about that except rebuilt the whole thing. And people in Bevelle wasn't angry with them. Actually they were happy. For getting rid of vegnagun. But there was also something else. The praetor.. Baralai. Was hurt. Very hurt. Because Shuyin had taken over his body. And now he was in a kind of coma. He could breath, hear but not talk, bee seen, but not see.

All because of Shuyin. And all of the Gullwings, especially Paine, was very upset. Gippal and Nooj too. They were his friends. For,.. Who knows how long.

But Paine stayed for herself. didn't talk to any one. Gippal and Nooj knew why but not Rikku and Yuna. They didn't understand it.

Then, at last they finally woke up. Rikku was the first to wake up, and walked outside her door. Out of her bedroom and looked around. There was no one out in the corridor. Then she walked in to Yunas room to see if she was awake.

When she came in there was no one in the bed. Meaning that she was awake.

"Yuna?" She called. And she got an answer.

"Yeah! What's up?" Yuna asked and walked over to Rikku.

"So.. You think we should ask Paine what's wrong?" She asked Yuna.

"Naa.. You know Paine.. If she want us to know, she will tell us herself" Yuna answered.

"No! She wont tell me! Only you! It's so unfair! So will just say: Minus 10 respect points Rikku!" Rikku said and stamped in the floor.

"Maybe that's because you are.. You know.. YOU!" Yuna said.

"What do you mean with that?"

"Nothing! Just be.. Patient!" Yuna said and walked over to a chair.

"I cant! I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know!" She said and stamped in the floor again.

"Doing that, wont help!"

"Aaarg! You are a meanie!" She said. She was starting to get pissed!

"Then go to your boyfriend Buddy! hehe" Yuna said with a little smile.

"Hmpf!" Rikku said and ran out. Smashing the door after her.

Sometimes it was fun to make her angry. Other days not. Well.. It was more Rikku who thought not.

On her way out, Rikku ran in to someone and fell down on the floor. As did the person she ran in to. She looked on the person.

"Av! Why in such a hurry Cid´s gal?" Gippal asked and stood up.

"Uuh.. Uum.. Uh.. I -I´m sorry!" She said and blushed so much!

"That's alright Cid´s gal! but watch were you are going next time" He said and helped her on her feet.

"T-t-thanks" She said and watched Gippal go away. She couldn't help it. He was just so damn cute! She had liked him for so loooong time! And no one knew. And she wasn't going to tell any one! Especially not Gippal. She knew she didn't have a chance! Because she knew he had a girlfriend. But she didn't know who. Gippal never talked very much about her actually. That made Rikku a little happy. She had forgot about why she was angry. So she wasn't any more, so she decided to walk up to the cabin to get some breakfast.

Meanwhile in Paines room. She was awake and ready to go down and have some breakfast. But then someone knocked on her door.

"What?" She just said and didn't go, open the door.

"It's me" Someone said.

"Who is me? Any one can be "me"!" She said and finally opened the door. Outside was Gippal.

"You?" She said .

"Cant I come in?" He asked.

Her answer was simply: No.

"Aaaa..! Come on Dr.P!" He said and tried to get in, but her arm was in the way, so he couldn't come in.

"What are you doing here?" She asked.

"Let me in and I'll tell you" He said and looked at her with puppy eyes. She finally let him in and then walked over to a chair.

"Make it fast okay! I have other things to do!"

"Come on Dr.P! We used to chat for, who knows how long when we were in the squad!"

"Well.. We aren't any more! And Stop calling me that!" She said. "What is it that you wanted?"

"Talk!" He said and moved a chair over to her.

"Well í´m not exactly in the mood for that!"

"Well you have to! About.. Baralai!" He said and looked at her.

"What about him?" She asked.

"You know what I mean! just admit it! You looove him!" He said with weird voice.

"Shut up!" She said and punched him on the shoulder.

"Aav! But its true!" he said rubbing his shoulder.

"Aaaa.. I'm going down to get breakfast!" She said and walked out of the room. Leaving Gippal behind.

When she got down to the cabin, Rikku and Yuna was there too.

"Paine!" Rikku screamed to her.

Ooh no! Paine thought and walked over to sit on a chair by the table. Next to Yuna.

"Thought you would never wake up!" Rikku said and looked at Paine.

"I have bin awake for a long time! But thanks to Gippal, I couldn't go down here before!" She said.

"G-Gippal?" Rikku asked.

"Yeah... What?" Paine asked Rikku who looked like a ghost or something.

"Nothing!" Rikku said and looked away.

"We can see that you are lying! What is it?" Yuna asked her.

"Nothing. Really!" She said. So they didn't ask any more but ate their breakfast in peace and quiet.

When they were done, they walked to their rooms. Paine left first so Yuna and Rikku were alone again.

"Hey Rikku! You know you can tell anything to me." Yuna said to Rikku.

"I know. But its really nothing okay!" She said and walked away.

"Okay" Yuna said and walked out too. But she knew there was something with Rikku. What could it be? She wouldn't think of that any more, so she walked to her room were Tidus was waiting.
