Eros: I'm really getting a hand on this boldy thing. Now the stories can look better now!

PJ: Yup! That means that when every you guys see italics that means that it's thinking since we don't have to do the " "'s anymore. It's for telepathy too. Watch and learn. "Briefs...Briefs!!"

Me: Dah! Who said that?

PJ: See? Enjoy!

Eros: Thanks to Ice Dragon with giving us the idea! Now, onward with this Chapter.

I miss Home

That night, Rikku faked everything. She didn't know what Paris was until PJ had filled her in on everything. And just incase anyone asks her about Paris, Pj'll answer her questions telepathically so Rikku could say them.

_______________________________________________________

Up in the girl's room, Eve was clearing the stuff away from the top of the bunk bed that Penny sleeps on(she sleeps in the bottom part) as the girls waited downstairs in the living room.

Rikku was simply adored by PJ's pudgy little baby brother! "I never knew babies were so cute. "

"Are Al Behd babies like that too?"

Rikku stared at Hendrix closely who was just looking around the room. "No, it's just our eyes. "

Her friend gasped. "I almost forgot. Just so no one suspects you, if they happen to ask you about your eyes, just say...you wear contacts and that's the best they could give you."

"Contacts? What are those?"

"They're like little lenses that a person puts into their eyes to see. Similar like glasses but you can put these into your eyes."

"Oh! I see!"

"Girls! The bunk bed's are ready!"

"Let's go!" chuckled PJ. Rikku put PJ back in his play pen. She patted his head, "Good night Hendrix!" and followed her new friend upstairs.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

"This is what you called a bunk bed, huh?" Rikku stared at the two beds together. "They're just two beds on top of each other."

"I know," Pj was changing. "You can have the top one. I always sleep on the bottom."

"Wouldn't you get crushed?"

Pj let out a chuckle. "No Silly, I'll be fine. You look like a light feather. "

Penny's mother, came in with another pair of pjs. "Here you are Rikku. This is PJ's old pajamas. You can use them when you go to bed at night. "

"Oh, thank you Ms. Efcraft. " Rikku took them in gratitude.

Eve just stood in the door way and sighed.

The girls stopped changing and looked at her. "What are you staring at, mum? We're changing, we would like privacy!"

"Sorry! Good night!" She shut the door and as they continued to change, Rikku just had to ask, "What's wrong with your mother?"

Pj shook her head as she started to comb her hair. "She's always wished she had two daughters instead of one. So it seems now like you're the second daughter..." She dropped the brush.

"PJ! What's wrong?"

PJ's eyes were widened as she looked at Rikku. "School. You're supposed to be a foreign exchange student. You'll need a uniform...and clothes...you just have those right there."

"Can't you materialize anything up?"

"I guess I could.But tomorrow then. Just put your clothes in that hamper. Just take out all the weapon looking things because my mum'll think you're a criminal or something."

With one big leap, Rikku was on top as PJ got to the bottom.

"Pj?"

"Yeah?"

"I really liked your friends at Yugi's Grandpa's shop. They were all really nice to me."

"I'm glad you liked them."

"Especially that Joey Guy, he's really nice!"

PJ immediately fell off her bed. She stood up and glared at Rikku as she continued to stare up at the ceiling. "He is kinda cute too."

"Are you nuts?!" She looked at her. "Joey's a fool! "

"Not from what I saw. He may be one but he's very nice! I don't know what you're talking about. Good night!" She turned away from Pj as she got back under her bed. With a simple clap clap the lights went off.

That's when Rikku had her dream. But all she could hear was the voices if her Spira friends.

********************************

"Rikku, Rikku you alright? You hit your head pretty hard, ya?"

"Thanks for helping me on that ship, Rikku! You're a pal!(If you didn't know, that was Tidus)"

"Rikku, will you be my guardian to the very end?"

"Rikku? She's fun to be around." (LuLu)

"If Yuna wants it, then you shall be her guardian." (Auron)

(As for Kimarhi...I don't even know if he says something. Lol)

*************************************

She woke up with a start and started panting. Some dream!

She hopped off the top bed and looked at PJ. Sleeping soundly. Rikku wanted to ask her something but she didn't want to ruin her peaceful slumber. So she decided to go exploring the house. She entered the nearest room and saw it was Hendrix.

"Hendrix?" She looked and actually saw him let a laugh out. It was like 3 in the morning and that little boy wasn't sleeping!

"Oh! I see you're awake huh? Couldn't sleep either?" She picked him up as she sat on the rocking chair. She looked down at his smiling face. "You're happy...at least one of us is....she looked out to the sky." I wonder what the guys are doing now that I'm so-called "missing"?

________________________________________________

Onword to school! And for Rikku's outfit, she looked sort of ridiculous.

She kept looking at herself as she would walk in between Bakura and PJ.

He smiled at her. "Well, I see that uniform is fitting you well?"

"I feel weird. Too enclosed."

"That's how it's supposed to feel," PJ hissed. "I wish they would just let us whatever we want to school like the others around the world do....sometimes..."

_____________________________________________

In side, Rikku got her schedule, due to PJ's genius magic tricks, she was able to get the same classes as her friend so she wouldn't feel alone. Aww...

But the worst thing was...all the guys in the class were gathered around her and admiring her from afar.

"so! You're Rikku, huh?"

"That's a pretty name!"

"Pretty names belong to pretty girls from Parie!"

The gang and PJ were watching the boys from afar. They all sweat dropped as Tea was annoyed. "Oh give me a break! She's just new!"

"What?" Joey nudged her. "Are ya jealous?" Tea immediately bonked him over the head and replied, "Think again!"

___________________________________________

Class had started and Rikku wasn't paying attention until....

"Ms. Rikku, could you please do that equation on the board?" asked the teacher.

"huh?" Oh no! Oh no! Oh no! She looked at PJ who nodded and she got up as the guys watched her. They stopped when PJ and Tea gave them all glaring looks.

x+3y=9

"Grab the chalk..."

Rikku looked back at Pj who nodded again. "Go on, pick it up!"

The Al Behd student picked up the piece of chalk and held it up to the board. She was waiting for a signal.

"Divide 3y into 9..."

Rikku slowly made 2 lines under the 3y and the nine. 3y there and 3y there. She brought the x down and what 3 had divided into 9.

x=3

"That's it!"

She turned back to the class in which the teacher nodded. "Very good!"

Joey, was flipping through his notes trying to understand what (I know that problem was simple but you gotta know, math isn't my thing!!) Rikku just did but as himself, he didn't know.

Rikku made her way down to her seat and looked at PJ. She nodded in satisfaction. Rikku then sat back down in her seat in relief as Duke Devlin leaned in. "That was great Rikku!" which made her startled and fall onto the floor.
