Yuna mentions in her memoirs that Rikku has gotten over her fear of thunder by camping out in the Thunder Plains. This is my take on what might have happened to help her fear. Notice the rating please for lemony goodness

Gippal's work has him completely stressed out. He's overstaffed and overworked. But what can you do? Well you can't do anything, but I'm pretty sure Rikku can help out in some way or another. Definitely rated M. It's pretty crazy. And it might as well be PWP. Yay! Oh parts are in Al-Bhed but the translation is beside those words.

Rikku goes to Djose to help remodel Home. When memories of her childhood with Gippal flash through her mind, she can't help but have these confused feelings. 'Why did he leave? Why did he kiss me? When did he get so handsome...'

Rikku is stationed at Djose for a month, which Gippal is ecstatic about. Until he finds out Rikku's dating Maroda... What is the sexy Al-bhed beast to do? Steal her away of course !

An inside look as to how Rikku and Gippal learned how to speak Common !

Rikku and Paine have a conversation about why Rikku wears a scarf all the time. RikkuXGippal, even though it's a conversation between Rikku and Paine.

GippalxRikku For fans of A Princess Can Kiss A Toad. Rikku returns to a reconstructed Home after the Gulwings settle down. The past meets the present as the windy sands are stirred to reveal a side of the Machine Faction leader she hasn't seen.

GippalXRikku Things were always heated in the Sanubia Desert. Any Al Bhed would agree that the arguments that took place between the Machine Faction leader and the Al Bhed princess herself made the burning sands look cold.

Gippal catches Rikku in his bedroom, acting mighty suspicious.

Rikku and Gippal have been best friends since childhood. Gippal is growing frustrated with Rikku's inability to see him as a man rather than a friend, but convincing her they're perfect for each other is going to be a problem.

Previously Untitled. Rikku is doing her very, very best to seduce Gippal. The only problem is that he has no idea she's intentionally baiting him. He thinks she's just Cid's sweet, innocent girl who has absolutely no idea how sexy she is.

Rikku has an interesting proposition for Gippal, if only he'll be good and cooperate.

Gippal has had it with waiting for Rikku to grow up and 'discover' him. But he's never been particularly subtle, and Rikku's going to have a hard time coping with the sudden change in her old friend.

She blew up his temple. Again. How is Gippal supposed to control the uncontrollable?

COMPLETE. The calm has returned and everyone has settled down except Rikku. Then when Besaid is attacked by a powerful machina she needs to join forces with the cocky, arrogant Gippal in order to restore the peace. But what will happen along the way? GR
