Chap 2.
Gippal! Perfect! Gippal and Rikku did have a thing for each other when they were younger..
plus they're best buddies! If they can marry each other then I'll have nothing to worry anymore! Gippal leader of the machine faction and my daughter
"Cid?"
But I can't just say to them that they have to get married…. orr can I maybe if I let rikku work for him? Maybe then……-
"Cid?!?!? Are you even listening?!"
"What's the yelling for! I'm not deaf ya know!..Cid barfed
"……Son! What do you think of rikku?"
"..uh what do you mean old man?"
"What I mean is what do you think of my daughter!"
Gippal rolled his eyes, folding his arms across his broad chest and smirked.
"Why would you ask me that old man?"
Cid began to lose his temper, "Son! You know I don't like to repeat myself!"
Gippal was quiet for a while, what can he say they have a thing when they were younger but it was kinda complicated.. And why would Cid wanna know what I think of her? It's impossible for us to be back together.. my taste in women's have changed Gippal though.
"Rikku is……Rikku?" Gippal said dumbly.
"What's that supposed to mean!! She's not pretty? Smart? Or-"
"No! that's not what I mean! What I mean is………sh-she..is.." Gippal stuttered he doesn't even know what he can say.
"Pops? Can I lend a hover?" A voice rang out from the doorway.
Rikku? Rikku! come here for a sec!
"uh oke?" Rikku came in and her eyes immediately brightened when she saw Gippal. Her heart also skipped a lot faster.
"Gippal! Uh…hiya!..uh.. time no see." She said hesitantly
"Cid's girl! How ya been?" Gippal ask with cockiness in his voice.
"S..same as ever..hehe." Why am I stuttering? Rikku though.
"Rikku have you got a date for Yuna's wedding?"
"……why would you ask Pops?" Rikku can't help but think there's something fishy in Cid's voice.
"Because Gippal wants to take you as his date.."Cid said coolly
Gippal choked on his own saliva "What? Cid I- but Cid cut him off "don't worry Gippal I told you she wouldn't refuse right Rikku?"
Rikku's face flushed did he really wanted to ask me? She though hopefully.
"I…Oke she said smiling sweetly at them."
Gippal stood there speechless. "What just happened?" he though to himself.
Gippal was about to say something but Cid stopped him.
"Rikku you can leave now I still have some business to discuss with Gippal"
"Y-you can't just tell me to come and then tell me to leave! I'm not a yoyo ya know! Rikku wined.
She stuck out her tongue and left the room.
"Now where are we"
"Start explaining why you lied that I wanna take rikku as my date to Yuna's wedding?"Gippal ask dumbly
"Right! Son you are going to the wedding with rikku as your date got it?!"
"Cid! You can't just decide who I can bring as my date to the wedding?!"
"Does that mean you don't like Rikku?!"Cid almost growled
"Cid what I and rikku have or had is in the past!"Gippal tried to explain but explaining to Cid is just like explaining to a little kid how healthy veggies are.
".....Date!! GOT IT!!!!!" Cid growled the last part.
Gippal just stood there speechless and annoyed.
Yuna's wedding day.
"Should I tell her the truth? But then she will get hurt… *sighed* guess there's nothing I can do now…but I…I don't want anything to do with her! Why did Cid do that! "Gippal though bitterly.
"I'm done!" Rikku stood at the stairs smiling her sweet smile at Gippal.
She wore a green cute dress hugging her in all the right places…he stared a little longer… yea definitely the right places-
"Gippal? …Hello?.... Earth to Gippal!" She giggled
"Huh Wha?"
"I asked what do you think of my dress?" she asked shyly she don't know why but she blushed.
"it's … cool I guess"
Rikku narrowed her eyes and stuck her tongue out at him "Meanie!" with that she left.
"H-hey! Cid's girl! Wait up!"
"Yunie Congratulations!! Rikku squealed
"Thank youu!!! This day was just soo Perfect rikku! I feel soo…soo Complete you know" Yuna said with teary eyes.
Rikku grabbed Yuna's hand "Aww Yunie I'm so happy for you! You deserve it!" with that she gave Yuna a big hug.
"Never though you would be Gippals date" came a cool voice.
"Hiya Pain!" the al bhed greeted happily
Yuna looked a little confused and asked "You guys… are you two-"
Rikku face flushed "Nooo Nooo we're just friends Yunie!"
Paine just looked at the al bhed girl.
"wha-why are you looking at me like that?" asked the al bhed a little confused.
Paine schrugged.
"uhh guys let's go dance with the boys oke?"asked Yuna
"Yea let's gooo"Rikku and Yuna skipped happily to the boys.
Couple hours later
Rikku just sat there watching Yuna and Tidus dance. She's waiting for Gippal to ask her to dance, but he didn't.
"bored?"came a voice
Paine. she recognize it immediately. "uh little? I'm getting tired of waiting for Gippal to ask me to dance!!!! Where is he anyway?! Have you seen him?" she asked annoyed.
"…well I-"
"Ey Rikku Long time no see ya said Wakka. he was walking kinda weird, he probably had a few drinks she thought
"You looking for *hiccup* gip-man?"
"Yea have you seen him?" the al bhed asked hopefully.
Paine tried to stop Wakka from saying where he is but it was too late.
"Yea he is in the bar flirting with some long blonde *hiccup* girl."
"He-he-what?! Ugh! With that she stormed to the bar her eyes looking like it can pop out any moment.
Paine stood there sighing "I should've expected that this would happen."
Gippal stood there talking and flirting with a long blonde girl just like Wakka said. Rikku couldn't help but feel a hurt.
"Gippal I need to talk to you! Said a annoyed rikku"
Gippal turned his head "uh Cid's girl? Can't you see that I'm a little busy?"
"..talk." Rikku felt hurt she doesn't know why but Gippal has asked her to be his date right? Then why is he dumping her when he asked her?
Gippal knew Rikku's stubborn and he doesn't want her to make a scene so he listens "Fine let's talk"
Gippal leaned on the door frame he looked slightly annoyed. But Rikku didn't care she wanted to hear a reason.
"Well…I…I…" Talk Rikku! Why can't I get the words outta my mouth?! Why is it always soo damn difficult to talk to him?!"
Gippal was getting impatient and it showed "Well?"
"Why did you ask me to be your date?! While you're..you're..dancing and flirting with other girls! ! ! You think all girls are just toys and don't have feelings don't ya!! Y-youre such a such a Se-Self-centred man-whore!!" she cried out.
Gippal stood there speechless.
There were some people watching including the girl who Gippal was flirting with.
"Tsk Tsk poor girl that boy is a typical player!
"His parent probably didn't raise him properly!
"Tsk doubt he'd even had one.
When Gippal heard that something inside him has snapped.
"I'ma selfish player? I didn't wanted to ask you in the first place!It's your dad that forced me to take you as my date!! Because he's afraid that his precious spoiled little princess can't get a date herself! Why would I bring an immature little girl w- he stopped when he saw Rikku. she looked hurt… more than hurt her eyes were full of tears, she was trying not to let the tears fall but the tears streamed down her face like a waterfall. He mentally slapped himself, he felt like a jerk! It wasn't her fault she didn't know any of it, I could've said no to Cid even if I know it wouldn't change a thing but I didn't.
Rikku felt ashamed why would Pops do that? Is he scared I'm not pretty enough to get a date? Even so why is Gippal so mad about being my date? Does he hate me that much? Why does it feel like he's stabbing me heart? Why don't the tears stop?
Everybody is watching. Rikku have never been so humiliated in her life, she never cried in front of anybody! Except once when Gippal broke up with her. She doesn't know what to do. So she did the only thing that came up her mind. Run.
Yuna was schoked but she wasn't the only one. most people have never seen Rikku cry she was always the happy-go-girl. When Yuna saw Rikku ran away she ran after her.
Paine went to Gippal and punches him in the face.
YOU IDIOT!!!! She yelled.
Gippal sat on the ground emotionless he can't get the image of Rikku crying in front of him otta his head. she looked so… hurt… last time he has seen those tears and hurt in her eyes was when he broke up with her. He wished he could turn back time but he knew he doesn't have that power. He didn't even feel pain when Paine punches him.
Paine saw the regret in his eyes and soften "get up" she said coolly.
Rikku kept running her tears wouldn't stop falling, her legs hurts and her throat were burning but she didn't stop running she wanted to go to someplace nobody can find her.
