Tidus stirred, lifting himself up from the bed. He looked behind him and saw Rikku curled up lying on the one side of the bed. Tidus looked at how peaceful she was, with a smile on her face. Tidus grinned to himself and pulled the covers back until he saw her leg. He ran his hand down to her toes and pulled her big toe. She sat up, startled. "Tidus!" She exclaimed. Tidus laughed at her as she picked up her pillow and swung it at him. Tidus ducked and tackled her to the bed. "Ack! Let go of me you big meanie!" She screamed in true Rikku fashion. Tidus wrapped his legs around hers to make sure she didn't move, as he kissed her from her neck up. Suddenly the P.A. system in Rikku's room crackled. "Rikku go wake Tidus up, tell him we're just about to land in Besaid." Rikku's heart sank. "O-ok Dad, I will." Tidus stopped kissing her, and looked into her eyes. "Besaid? Oh no…" He sat up quickly. "What am I gonna do?" He looked at the floor. Rikku put her arm around him. "It's ok Tidus…I'll be there with you." She looked at him intently. Tidus shook his head. "Rikku, I'm not putting you through any more, forget it." He said sternly. She put her finger to his lips. "Don't worry…that's what friends are for, right? Remember we're a team, we've always worked better as a team…we'll do this together." Her eyes teared up a little. Tidus grinned weakly and kissed her tenderly on the lips.

Tidus walked out of Rikku's room so they wouldn't rouse any suspicion. Soon after Rikku came out too and they walked together down the hall towards the bridge. Tidus stuck his foot out and Rikku tripped. She cried out and fell down as Tidus laughed and ran away. She got up quickly, but couldn't help but laugh. "You son of a bitch!" She chased after him down the hall. Tidus looked behind and ran right into Rin. Rikku stopped and laughed at him as Rin angrily pushed him off. "cdibet getc! Rikku, oui'ja paah yldehk faent mydamo, yna oui eh muja un cusadrehk?" He asked in Al Bhed with a raised eyebrow. Rikku just laughed and stole a glance at Tidus. "oui luimt cyo dryd." Rin just grinned and continued walking. Tidus took this opportunity to run again, when suddenly Rikku had an idea. "Ow!" She cried out as she pretended to fall to the floor. Tidus stopped and looked back in concern. He ran back to her, looking at her closely. "Rikku are you ok?" He asked with worry. She suddenly smiled and punched him in the nads with a laugh. "Just fine." Tidus moaned as he fell to the floor, holding his precious commodity in his hands. "Wakka was right…never trust an Al Bhed." He moaned from the floor. Rikku grinned and walked in in the door. Cid looked out. "What're u doin on the floor kid, lickin the stains off?" He joked. Rikku looked hard at him. "That wasn't funny, Dad." Cid rolled his eyes at his daughter. "Jeez Rikku, why you stickin up for him, ya act like you love him or somethin." He cackled at his own joke. Rikku rolled her eyes this time. "Dad you are SO lame." Cid slowly stopped cackling as Tidus finally got up. Cid looked at both of them. "Well kids, we're here. Tidus, looks like you'll probably be staying there eh?" Tidus scratched the back of his head. "Well….yeah I guess so…" He said slowly. Cid suddenly wrapped him up in a hug, which caused Tidus to cry out in surprise. "Gonna miss you, kiddo. You behave yourself and make sure you take care of Yuna, ya hear?" He said seriously. Tidus nodded his head and faked a smile. "You bet!" Although saying it was like having a dagger twisted through his heart.

Rikku and Tidus walked through the village, being swarmed by the villagers, trying to get close to the two ex-guardians. Wakka rose out of the hut that he shared with Lulu, wondering what the noise was. When he saw Tidus his eyes went wide with shock, but he pushed through the crowd and grabbed both their arms, pulling them inside his hut, where he shut the door, with the crowd banging outside trying to get in. "Tidus, I can't believe this, it's actually you!" He put Tidus in a headlock and gave him a noogie. Rikku laughed but Wakka put a finger to his lips. "Be quiet you two, Lu's sleeping." He spoke softly, pointing to the other room. He let Tidus go as he looked around the hut. "Whoa, looks like your living quarters bigger eh?" Tidus asked, looking at Wakka. Wakka nodded. "Since Yuna split the money with each of us, I spent my share to get me and Lu a bigger house since we're gonna be having a new guest arriving." He said, with a boyish grin on his face. Tidus looked confused. "Uh…is someone coming to live with you?" He asked, scratching the back of his head. Rikku and Wakka laughed hard and Wakka tried to explain as tears of laughter were in his eyes. Tidus turned red with embarrassment. "What's so funny?" He asked in an irritated tone. Rikku finally explained as Wakka couldn't control his laughter. "Lulu's having a baby, dumbass." Tidus started laughing now at his own stupidity. When they all finally controlled their laughter, they heard an angry voice coming from behind them. "Wakka, How many times do I have to tell you to be quiet when I'm sleeping?" Everyone turned to look behind. It was Lulu of course, and she was about to let Wakka have it again, when suddenly, her angered look softened as she saw Tidus. Without a word she came over to him and wrapped him in a big hug. "Uh…Lulu, I think Wakka already broke my ribs with his hug you're not really helping anything." He half-joked. Lulu pulled away and smiled. She held him at arms length and looked him up and down. "Yuna is going to be so happy to see you." She smiled. Tidus shot a glance at Rikku, who looked quickly and nodded slightly. "So, uh, where is Yuna?" She asked quickly. Wakka scratched his head. "She's gone to Gagazet to check on Kimahri, but she should be back in a few days, so you guys should just go crash out at her house I guess, cuz it's been 'updated' too I guess you could say." He finished. Rikku and Tidus both nodded. "Great, thanks guys! We're tired from the trip so we're gonna go get some sleep, so I guess we'll see you in the morning." Rikku started for the door. Tidus gave a quick wave. "Later Wakka, later Lulu." He ran out the door after Rikku, with Wakka and Lulu waving behind them. Wakka turned to Lulu. "Jeez, they're sure acting weird, eh?" He asked inquisitively. Lulu nodded. "They look fine, but it appears there's something troubling them…" She pondered about what it could be. Wakka shrugged. "No worries, they'll tell us when their ready, ya?" He turned to go back to their bedroom. Lulu nodded. "You know, for once you actually said something that makes sense." "Every blitzer has his day, ya?" He said jokingly. Lulu rolled her eyes. "Never mind what I said, you're gone back to stupidity." She said as she came to the bedroom too. "Hey but dat's why you love me, ya?" He said. Lulu smiled slightly. "Sure if that's what you want to believe." They both laughed at that. "'Night Lu." Wakka said. Lulu sighed lightly. "Yes, goodnight Wakka."
***
Meanwhile as Wakka and Lulu were settling down for the night, Tidus and Rikku were laying in Yuna's guestroom trying to think about what they would tell Wakka and Lulu. "Tidus this is a big break for us. We actually have some time to think of something." Tidus looked at her. "You call this a break? They're gonna kill us! That's no break, cuz I don't really wanna see Wakka angry." He said, worriedly. Rikku laughed grimly. "You think he's gonna be mad at you? Think about me, I'm Al Bhed, so it's me he's gonna kill." She sighed and looked at the ceiling for a minute. Tidus poked her in the arm. "Hey, don't worry we'll think of something, we're a team remember?" He grinned trying to cheer her up. Rikku nodded slightly and kissed him on the cheek. "You're right, Tidus. I guess there's no point in worrying about it then, right?" She said. Tidus nodded, happy to see that she was feeling better, since he was too. "Right." He said simply. Tidus closed his eyes for a second and then spoke again. "Oh and one more thing, Rikku." He said in a serious tone, looking deep into her eyes. "What's that?" She asked, questioningly. Tidus' voice wavered a little as he spoke. "No matter what happens, I'll be there for you, cuz we're gonna do this together." He paused. "What I'm trying to say is you'll never be alone, ok?" He finished. Rikku leaned over, with tears welling up in her eyes. "E muja oui Tidus." She said softly as she kissed him tenderly. Tidus laughed a little. "If you don't mind me asking, what does eh mooda we mean?" Rikku laughed and buried her head on his chest. Tidus couldn't help but laugh too. "It means I love you. Is that ok?" She asked jokingly. Tidus nodded. "It's better than alright." He said as he kissed her this time. "I love you too."
Author's note: Well there's chapter 3 for ya. Hope you guys enjoy this one too. Sorry I took so long to update, it's just that I been busy with work and my girlfriend: p so yeah. I'll try to keep it updated more often, but I won't make guarantees just in case I can't. So I guess that's it for now. See you later!
P.S.-By the way, for those of you who are a bit rust on the Al Bhed, here's what those little parts mean in Al Bhed
1.When Rin says "cdibet getc. Rikku, oui'ja paah yldehk faent mydamo, yna oui eh muja un cusadrehk?" That means "Stupid kids! Rikku, you've been acting weird lately, are you in love or something?"
2.Rikku's response is "oui luimt cyo dryd." Which means "You could say that."
Hope that clears things up!
