"No one ever said for me to choose this destiny. To be a machina builder and boss. I just kind of ended up here, maybe it was fate which pushed me to D'jose Temple and wouldn't let me go. Now that I'm stretching my legs outside of the temple....I think I could get used to it."

Paine drummed her fingers on her opposite arm and stared at Gippal. "So, why are you here again?" She asked," I know you wouldn't come here if you didn't want anything."
"Hey, I was pulled into the adventure by the kid over there," Gippal said as he motioned towards Rikku," Wasn't my choice."
"Now he can help us find the portal though," Yuna said as she entered the deck," Can't we?"
Gippal nodded slowly and slumped in the right side bucket seat. Rikku turned from the monitors and smiled broadly. "Maybe there are spheres there!" She exclaimed," Wouldn't that be a great outcome?"
"I could use a few more," Paine replied with a sigh.
Gippal fiddled with the seat as he remembered the sphere he threw out into the ocean and he turned to the three girls. "I guess it's the wrong time to tell you three this," he started and the three turned to him," I had a sphere in my possession a little while ago."
"Well! Hand it over, you have no need for it!" Rikku said with groping hands.
"Welllllll.....I kind of threw it into the ocean."
Paine's eyes widened. "You just threw it into the ocean like it was a pebble!?"
"I just...didn't think it was important enough to keep."
Yuna sighed and sat down beside Shinra. "Can you track it down?" She asked.
"I think I can," Shinra replied," But it'd be hard because of the ocean's density."
"Yeah, but the only thing denser is Gippal's skull!" Rikku grumbled.
Gippal leaped out of the bucket seat and landed in front of Rikku. "Hey! Don't be pointing fingers!"
Rikku poked him in the chest. "I think I can! You're the one who lost the sphere!"
Gippal frowned and tapped her on the shoulder. "I didn't need it!"
"Well," Rikku poked him again, but this time harder," You could have given us the sphere!"
"That slipped my mind," Gippal pushed her back," So stop poking me!"
Paine sighed and walked over to where Yuna was. "You think we'll be able to survive this?" She asked.
"Well, it's like their having a sibling fued. So I think it's best to leave them alone for now," she replied with a small smile.
"Yeah, but it's getting annoying how their just...pushing each other around like that."
Brother yelled loudly and the whole group turned to him. "Let's just find that portal!" He yelled," So then Yuna can be rid of this racket!"
Gippal frowned and shoved Rikku one last time before he dodged her poke. He walked over to Yuna and Paine. "So, once we find this portal, you guys won't need me and I can go back to the temple?" He asked and placed his arm on Paine's shoulder.
Paine shrugged his arm off and folded her arms. "We could find it without you, but Rikku just had to bring you along," she replied.
"Hey, come on. Don't be so negative."
"Who's being negative?"
Paine closed her eyes and turned away from Gippal. Yuna stood up and smiled. "Well, we've arrived at Lucca. Would you like to come with us? I think you should so we can locate the portal easier," she said.
"Oh, what the hell. I could use a break from the machina," Gippal sighed.
Rikku rushed up behind him and kicked the back of his leg which caused him to topple over. "Let's get going then!" She exclaimed and hurried out of the room.
Gippal grumbled as he stood up and ran after her. Paine frowned and turned to Yuna. "Was that a wise choice?" She asked before she walked away.
"I guess....it's just....well," Yuna tried to find words, but stopped and left it the way it was.
==-- Lucca....
Gippal placed his hands behind his head as the group stepped onto the dock of Lucca. "You sure you wanna see that portal?" He asked.
"Yes, and then you will show us where you threw that sphere," Paine replied as she walked ahead.
"She always like that?" Gippal asked Rikku.
"No, she could be worse to you, Gippal," Rikku replied with a smirk.
Gippal frowned and patted her on the head. "That goes for all of me too, I could be worse."
Yuna walked ahead of them. "Let's just find this portal and then we can find the sphere. You don't have to come with us to find the sphere, Gippal, if you don't want to," she said.
"I won't because I have machina parts to find."
Gippal smirked and walked with the three to the gates.
"No admitting of locals," the guard said.
Gippal fingered something in his pocket and turned to the three. "Cover your eyes!" He ordered and threw the ball he had in his hand.
The guard coughed and covered his eyes as smoke exploded out of the ball. Paine opened the gate and the group rushed through.
Rikku coughed and Gippal looked over at her as they walked over the bridge. "You breathed in the fumes, didn't you?" He asked.
"I think we all did, but you're used to fumes," Rikku retorted as she walked faster to catch up with Paine.
Gippal walked next to Yuna as the four entered the forest and he walked ahead. "Take a right," he said and walked that way," You'll see a small opening and then a doorway. That is the portal."
The group walked through the forest and came up to a glowing doorway to who knows where. Gippal motioned for the door and smiled. "Told you it was large, now...I just wonder what's on the other side," he said.
"Let's find out then!" Rikku exclaimed and pushed him.
"Hey!!!" Gippal cried out as he toppled over into the portal.
Paine frowned and followed Gippal, as did Yuna. Rikku smiled and danced into the portal.

Damn, another short chapter. I'll try and write longer for you readers, it's just I have a pounding headache right now. If any of you are wondering why it's short...blame it on the random pain our bodies grant us.
