Love Is Strange II
Disclaimer; I don't own the FF X-2 characters of course. Anyways, I've decided to write a sequal to the first fic. As you can see, the story didn't just end there. So here it is, I hope you'll enjoy it as much as you've enjoyed the first one.
Chapter 1 The Journy Begins
Rikku pace around and around Celsius (the airship) wondering what to say when she meets Gippal. On the other hand, she really didn't want to talk to him, making a fool of herself just to find him. Then again, Yuna had found her lover and no one made fun of her being all desperate for one man.
"Rikku, stop walking around in circles. I can't concentrate like that."demanded Shinra, while he tried to fix his CommShpere.
"Shut up Shinra! I'm thinking you know!"snapped Rikku.
"Rikku, think?"teased Buddy from his seat.
"Crid ib!" Shut up!
"Jeesh Rikku, don't have to shout."said Buddy. Rikku gasped while covering her mouth. Why was she so upset? Was it because she's so nervous that she'll be able to talk to Gippal?
This ring......the ring that Gippal gave to me. It's so pretty and the diamond is actually real. Not one of those cheap wanna-be-diamonds! Ooooo, I can't wait to tell you my answer Gippal.
"Rikku...may I have a word with you?"asked Paine. Rikku glanced at her from the corner of her eye and then looked back at Yuna, who was still talking to Brother.
"Okay."she said. Paine headed out of the bridge, and into the elevator up to the deck. Rikku followed after her, making sure that Yuna didn't suspect anything. Of course, Brother was still hogging her like a really interesting toy.
"Heh, heh, cdibet syh." Heh, heh, stupid man.
Arriving on the deck, Rikku spotted Paine. She wasn't crossing her arms as always, but was leaving it on her sides, while she faced the sky. She allowed the wind to beat on her face gently as she stood there.
"Hey!"said Rikku. Paine lowered her head and turned around, and on her face was such a kind and gentle smile.
"Rikku....I know about the....how should I say?....The unsuspected proposal...."said Paine. Rikku blushed and avoided her eyes.
"Yea....so....what is it?"asked Rikku cupping her hands behind her back. Paine took a few steps closer, now facing the ambarrassed Rikku.
"Congratulations...."she said. Very quickly, Rikku popped her head up and held a huge grin while Paine stood there with her hands on her hips.
"What?"she asked.
"You....you are happy for us? But how did you know about the proposal?"asked Rikku. Paine chuckled to herself.
"They---we have talked it out. Nooj thought that it was a bad idea, but we sayed other wise.... Rikku, he really and truely loves you, and he went over board when he bought that ring...."she said.
"When was that?"asked Rikku.
"It was, a few weeks ago....I was there....He told us that for a long time, he wanted to propose to you, but was too afraid. So, it was Baralai's idea for him to talk to you in a sphere, and he agreed. You know how shy Gippal can be when he's sweet. Anyways, we help Gippal to buy the ring, and it payed off."said Paine.
"So....it's not a trick!? He really wants to marry me?"asked Rikku excitingly.
"Why would it be a trick? He loves you Rikku, and he wanted me to tell you that he can't wait to hear your answer."she said.
"Gippal....he really does want to marry me! Oooo, I can't wait until I find him. Hey! Paine, what am I going to say to Yuna?"asked Rikku.
"Will.......I highly suggest that you should tell Yuna, besides.....she's very important to you right?"said Paine.
"Yes, of course she is! And so are you! I have to tell Yunie......but I'm scared......What if she gets mad at me?"said Rikku.
"Yuna won't get mad at you. I know she won't, hell she'll be happy for you."Paine said while patting Rikku's head.
"Will! It's settle then! We'll head to Mt.Gagazet, then I'll tell her later! Let's go!"said Rikku as she grabbed Paine's wrist and pulled her back inside. Paine smiled at her, she have gotten closer to Rikku now, like sisters.
As they entered Celsius, and headed for bridge, Rikku stopped and looked out of the window. They were nearly there, nearly at Mt.Gagazet. Her heart pounded quicker and quicker as they approuch this sacred mountain.
"Rikku.....Let's just hurry and tell Yuna sooner than later. Besides, the ring on your finger shows now doesn't it?"said Paine. Rikku looked at her, then glanced down at her ring finger. That beautiful ring, she will never take it off.
"Yeah, I guess so."said Rikku walking slowly inside the bridge. Brother and Buddy was arguing about who would be washing the airship.
"No! It's your turn!"said Buddy.
"Wrong! I am Leader, and I say you wash airship!"said Brother with the same accent.
"It doesn't make any fuckin difference! You're such a lazy ass!"complained Buddy.
"I'm a lazy ass!? I'm a lazy ass!? You the lazy ass!"bickered Brother. Rikku and Paine both shooked their heads as they watched them bicker away. Yuna was with Shinra, examining the CommSphere.
"Hey, I got some transmition in Mt.Gagazet.....Look, it's Gippal and the guys."said Shinra. Rikku was the first one at the sphere to watch what was happening.
"Hey, look it's that genius boy's invention! I wonder if they can hear me?"asked Gippal as he made funny faces at the sphere, making such a fool of himself. Rikku giggled at him, along with Yuna, while Paine shooked her head.
"Gippal!?"called Rikku.
Apparently, Gippal didn't seem to hear them. Shinra felt disappointed and begin to fix it once more.
"Probably the weather, it's pretty cold there."he said.
"Hey! Can anyone hear or see me? What a piece of shit!"said Gippal, but he didn't sound mad at all, but more glad.
"Look! Baralai! Come here!"said Gippal. And up came a very pale looking Baralai. He was shaking so often.
"W-h-a-t-?"asked Baralai.
"Look, this sphere. All the way out here, and it doesn't even work."said Gippal. Baralai looked at him, then back at the sphere.
"I-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g-."he stuttered.
"Yeah, pretty cool, if it actually work!"said Gippal poking it with his gun.
"Will you two stop messing around!?"said Nooj from behind. Gippal and Baralai turned around and grinned mischiviously.
"What!? Are you mad old man?"asked Gippal.
"Hmph! I'm not mad, and I'm not old either! You two have been fooling around with everything, acting like immature childrens. It's pathetic!"said Nooj as he crossed his arms.
Gippal looked back at Baralai, and they both exchanged looks. Then, Gippal immitated Nooj, crossing his arms like so.
"You two should stop fooling around! You're no longer little kids! Will I'll tell you this old man, I like to have fun and play around. Since Rikku's isn't here to tease upon, I'll tease you two instead!"said Gippal, trying to sound bold and stern like Nooj. Baralai laughed at him, until Nooj gave him a cold stare, and at that second he stopped immediatly.
"It's not funny! We have many duties to finish and attend. And if you want to get back to your, soon-to-be wife, then we better hurry."said Nooj turning to leave. Gippal stopped laughing and looked at his ring finger.
"Do you even think she'll accept? I mean, it was kind of foolish for me to ask her with a sphere, instead of face to face....."said Gippal.
"Hey, why wouldn't she say yes? Anyways, we better hurry, Nooj's leaving us."said Baralai giving him a reassuring pat on the back. Gippal nodded and they both left, disappearing from the Commshpere screen.
"He really does want to---"
"Rikku......"whispered Yuna.
"Uh! Yuna?"said Rikku turning to face her upset cousin. Paine sighed and walked out of the room. Brother and Buddy also left, dragging Shinra with them.
Uh oh! I'm in big trouble now! Yunie's mad at me for not telling her, I just know it.
"Rikku.....he propose to you, and you haven't tell me?"she said softly. Rikku lowered her head, and showed Yuna her ring.
"And you say yes?"she asked.
"Yeah, I sayed yes because I love him Yuna..... That's why I came on this trip, to find him. I have to find him. And tell him my answer!"said Rikku.
"Will....if you agree to wed him, then I will also accept too. No one should be happier for you than I am."she said hugging her. Rikku looked at Yuna surprisingly.
"You, you're not mad?"asked Rikku.
"Of course not. You're trying to find him, like I've tried to find Tidus a couple of months ago.... I am proud. Now, let's go and find your man!"
