A/N: I'm not gonna lie and make excuses on why I haven't updated in a while.
The reason is, I'm lazy, and my time management skills suck. XD
But, I bring you a update! Take that, crappy time management skills 83
Thank you for the reviews, they make me smile :
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters (Only Tidus.. In my mind 8D )

After Gippal had played his song for Rikku, they were both sitting on the sofa cuddled close together. Rikku had her head rested on Gippal's chest while he found it amusing to play with one of the many braids on her head.
About 20 minutes had passed and still, Yuna and Tidus had not returned.
"Hey, where do you think Yunie and Tidus went.?" Rikku asked, breaking the long silence.
Gippal shrugged. "Who cares.." he said. "Besides, do you really want Tidus here.. Him and his big mouth?"
"Hey, he's your best friend!"
"Your point...?"
Rikku sighed and slightly shook her head. "Do..you think him and Yunie will end up together?" she asked.
"Hm, maybe." Gippal responded
"I hope they do.. I mean, they look so cute together! And they've known each other since first grade!"
"Wow, first grade.. She knew him since he was eating paste.." Gippal stopped to think for a second. "You know.. I still think he does.."
"HEY!" Tidus yelled, interrupting their conversation. "How about you shut up"
"Well, well. Look who came back" Gippal said. "Have fun, Kiddies?"
"Shut up" Tidus said, sitting down on the floor. Yuna followed behind him, not saying a word. Tidus took her hand and dragged her down so she was sitting on his lap.
"Awwww!" Rikku awed. "You two look so cute together!"
Tidus and Yuna looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"Kay, now that Yunie and Tidus are back, lets all go out and do something!" Rikku said, clapping her hands together.
"And what exactly do you have in mind?" Gippal asked.
"Oh, Oh! I heard there was this carnival..thing going on" Rikku smiled "Lets go there!"
"Why?" asked Tidus.
"Aw, come on Tidus, don't be a party pooper! Let's go have a fun" Rikku said happily
"Yeah, Tidus. Don't be a party pooper!" Gippal said, acting like Rikku slightly.
Tidus rolled his eyes. "Let's go" he said.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
When they got there, Rikku squealed. "I haven't been to a carnival in so long!"
"I'm assuming there was a reason for that." Tidus said, under his breath.
"What was that?" Rikku said, glaring at him
"Nothing!" He said with a sweet smile.
"Okay, whatever. Let's go!" Rikku grabbed Gippal's hand and pulled him to a random ride while Yuna and Tidus stayed behind and slowly made their way to them.
"Yuna, you okay?" Tidus asked. "Your pretty quite"
"No, I'm fine" she said giving Tidus a sweet smile
"You sure?"
She nodded.
"Guys! Hurry up!" Rikku yelled, waving her arms in the air.
Tidus and Yuna made their way over to them
"So, what ride do you want to go on first?" Yuna asked.
"Oh! Let's all go on the Ferris wheel!" Rikku yelled.
"Oh, no." Gippal said, putting his hands up. "I don't do Ferris wheels"
"What's the matter, Gip. Scared?"
"Yes, actually" Gippal admitted. "I don't do heights"
Rikku looked kind of disappointed when he said that, she really wanted him to go on with him.
"Come on Yunie, I know you like them!" Rikku said, grabbing Yuna's hand and dragging her off.
"Gip, your dumb" Tidus said, heading off towards the girls.
"What? I didn't do anything!" Gippal said in defense.
"It's just a Ferris wheel, suck it up and go on it with her." Tidus said, and with that he was off with the girls, leaving Gippal there alone for the moment.
Gippal sighed and looked at the wheel from where he was standing."I hate you.." he thought and went off to find everyone. He saw Yuna and Rikku in the line up just about to get on the Ferris wheel.
He ran up to Yuna and tapped her on the shoulder. "You mind?" he asked.
"Not at all" Yuna replied with a smile, and went off with Tidus.
"I thought you didn't like heights?" Rikku asked as he sat net to her and pulled the bar down over them.
"I don't" Gippal replied. "But, I want to come on with you"
"You didn't have to..you know" Rikku said.
As the ride began to move, Gippal began to get nervous.
"I...know" he gulped. "But I wanted to"
Rikku laughed.
"Are you laughing at me?" Gippal asked. He was sitting there with his eyes closed.
''Oh no. Not at all" she replied.
When they got to the top, the wheel stopped and Gippal began to panic.
"What? What's going on?" He said, looking around to see they were on the top.
"We stopped" Rikku said, pointing out his stupidity
"Why? Why did we stop. That's usually not a good thing" Gippal panicked
"Relax, Gippal. It's probably just a few technical difficulties" Rikku smirked, intentionally trying to make him more nervous.
Gippal just gave Rikku a glare, which made her giggle.
Down with Yuna and Tidus.
"Hey, look." Yuna said pointing to the top of the Ferris wheel. "Ironic that Rikku and Gippal got stuck at the top?" she giggled.
"Sucks to be Gippal. Dude is seriously scared of heights." Tidus responded, smirking.
"How long do you think they'll be up there?" Yuna asked.
Tidus shrugged. "Who cares? Let them stay up there for awhile. Let them.. Talk"
"Don't you think they talked enough while we were gone, and like... left them alone?"
"No" Tidus responded with a slight laugh. "Oh well, leave them up there. Anyways, what are we gonna do?"
"I don't know. It's a pretty big carnival, I'm sure we could find a ride" Yuna said, grabbing his hand.
"Lead the way!" Tidus said with a smile.
Up with Rikku and Gippal again
"Oh god. Get me off this thing" Gippal said, his eyes still closed.
"Hey, look. I can see your house from up here!" Rikku said, pointing off into the distance. She was getting much amusement from Gippal.
"Anyways, why did you come on here if you didn't like heights? Yunie would of came on with me, you know" Rikku said, trying to clam him down a bit now.
"I told you... I wanted to" he responded. "And if we ever get down from here, I'd like to go on other rides with you"
Rikku smiled. "Oh, but who knows when that will be"
"Please don't say that" Gippal said in a whiney voice.
"Okay, okay. I'll stop" Rikku said, laughing slightly.
"Good" Gippal said, with his eyes closed. "What kind of cheep ride is this anyways?"
Rikku smiled. "Maybe, you just need something to take your mind off things"
"We're fifty feet in the air on a giant freaking wheel. What could possibly–"
Before Gippal could finish his sentence, Gippal felt a soft hand on his cheek and a even softer pair of lips upon his. At first he was shocked, but he scooted closer to her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her back.
Without even realizing it, the ride had started moving again and Rikku and Gippal where at the bottom with everyone watching them kiss.
"Well, well." Tidus said. "Looks like someone got over his fear of heights"
Rikku looked over to see Tidus smirking at them, and Yuna giggling with cotton candy in her hand. Rikku's face was completely red.
"Well, you just gonna sit there, looking like idiots?" Tidus said.
Rikku didn't say anything, she just blushed and got out and stood by Tidus and Yuna. Gippal followed.
"Looks like you two had a very interesting time up there" Yuna said, with a giggle.
"Well, when Gippal wasn't totally panicking. It was interesting." Rikku said.
Tidus laughed. "Man, I wish I was up there. Just to see Gippal freak out.."
"Hey, it's a cheep Ferris wheel, stupid thing." Gippal said, with a slight glare.
"Yeah, yeah. Blame the ride." Tidus said, taking some of Yuna's cotton candy and shoving it in his mouth. "Anyways, the night is young. What do we do now?"
"Let's just go play a few games" Gippal said with a shrug.
"Why, tired of the rides already?" Tidus said, laughing in the process.
Gippal didn't say anything, he took Rikku by the hand and pulled her towards a game.
" Come on, I was only kidding!" Tidus said, following with Yuna coming behind him.
Gippal stopped at a random shooting game. He knew here he could win something for Rikku. And sure enough, he did.
"Pick something, Rikku" he said with a smile.
"Oh!" Rikku said happily. "The Cactuar, please!".
The guy in the booth nodded and handed the Cactuar to Gippal, who handed it to Rikku.
"Thanks Gippal!"
Gippal smiled. "No problem"
While Gippal was off winning the Cactuar for Rikku, Tidus was off winning a Moogle of Yuna.
"Okay so. Now what?" Tidus asked, looking somewhat bored.
" I don't know. We could go home" Yuna said, hugging her moogle. No one seamed to object to that idea.
"Kay" Rikku said, heading for the exit with everyone following behind her.
When the got to the parking lot, it was quite and dark. Leaving all the sounds of happy people enjoying themselves, they headed towards the car. Before they got there, a voice appeared which made them stop dead in their tracks.
"Hello, Yuna" a cold voice said, from the shadows.
Yuna knew who it was, and she thought she could fall over and die right then and there.
