Rikku was asleep on her bed in the cabin, as were Yuna and Paine.
The sun shone out from the window brightly. It was going to be a beautiful day, as usual. Rikku's eyes started to open. She sat up and yawned.
"Yunie, Paine get up" she said tiredly.
Yuna and Paine didn't budge.
"Yunie and Paine, GET UP!" Shouted Rikku.
Yuna and Paine moved around a little.
"We're up, okay" said Yuna quietly.
"You better be" replied Rikku, as she made her bed. "We've got a lot of things to do today."
Rikku started getting ready. By the time Rikku had got dressed Yuna and Paine got out of bed. Rikku was now styling her hair. When she finished she went down to the bridge.
"Good morning" Rikku said happily.
A lot of mumbled mornings replied back.
"So are you looking forward to today" asked Buddy.
"Of course, this is like my dream come true" said Rikku.
Rikku was very excited today, for she was going to perform tomorrow; and today she was preparing the stage for it. She was going to sing. Ever since Yuna started singing she wanted to sing. And tomorrow was Rikku's turn to shine. She knew she wouldn't get as much audience as Yuna, so tomorrow's performance had to go out with a bang; so that her first performance would start to get more people to come.
She was tired of being known as: the High Summoner's Guardian, or Cid's daughter, or a member of the Gullwings, or the girl that helped Yuna beat Vegnagun and the leader of the machine faction's girlfriend. She wanted to make a name for herself.
Recently she had started going out with Gippal and it was already starting to get serious.
Life was really looking up for Rikku and it would be even better if her dream could come true.
"So when do you have to go" asked Shinra.
"As soon as Yunie and Paine are ready" replied Rikku.
Then Yuna and Paine appeared.
"Well, I'm ready to go how about you Paine" asked Yuna.
"Do I have to come?" asked Paine desperately.
"Yes!" said Rikku. "I want you to tell me what you think of my ideas when we get to Luca"
"So off to Luca" said Brother.
Rikku was going to meet up with Gippal in Luca. The moment they got off the airship Rikku was miles away from Yuna and Paine, for she had spotted Gippal. She hugged him and kissed him. Yuna and Paine finally caught up with Rikku.
"Come on, lets go" said Rikku excitedly.
"Ugh, more running" said Paine annoyed.
They entered the stage as Rikku explained what she wanted.
"Okay, I want spotlights; can they be different colours, please? Oh and smoke, it's like dried ice I think, ooohh and bubbles".
"Whoah, slow down, I think bubbles are going a bit too far Rikku" said Rikku's manager.
"Okay then, but how about my back up dancer, have they learnt the routine" asked Rikku.
"They sure have" the manager smiled. The manager clapped her hand and said: "Back up dancers".
The back up dancers entered the stage.
"Okay, I think we should do a rehearsal" said Rikku.
Rikku started rehearsing and Yuna, Paine and Gippal were made to sit in the audience's seats and watch.
"So what do you think?" asked Yuna.
"I think this is ridiculous. She just wants attention" said Paine.
Don't be so hash Paine, this is something she wants to do, so we should respect it" said Gippal.
"Hey, no talking!" Rikku shouted into the microphone while she was singing.
"Rikku! You can't do that in the real thing, you'll be a laughing stock" the manager yelled.
"I know, sorry" Rikku said quietly.
"Am I the only one starting to get pissed off with the manager" Gippal whispered to Yuna and Paine.
"No!" said Yuna and Paine.
"Shh!" said the manager.
"Oh, sorry" Yuna, Paine and Gippal mumbled. But when the manager's back was turned Paine and Gippal made a rude gesture to the manager.
Rikku was made to rehearse all day until she got everything perfect. She was tired by now but ready for tomorrow.
