To Taiki:
Sorry that you won't see Paine suffer in Chapter 3. But I'll tried to make sure she does, just for your sake, in Chapter 4. Thank you for your review.
To fireball 20:
Thanks for you comment on my errors and no, they are not critical at all. All I'm good at is come out with some crazy ideas. Although I'm not that good of a writer, I will try my best and edit the errors as soon as I am done with my freaking finals. Your review prompts me to finish chapter 3, just to let you know.
Chapter III: If We Are Going to Do It Wrong, Then Do It Right!
(Later in the day....)
"So you got everything you need?" A very excited Rikku asked.
"Let's see. I have the bomb fragment, the chocobo's feather, dragon scale.... and the b-potion. Yep all set. Now we just have to wait until the time is right hehe." Tidus grin.
Rikku reminded Tidus, "Remember, if Paine saw you, you run like hell."
Tidus was amused by Rikku's comment. "What, you don't think I can take her down?"
Rikku shook her head and replied, "Well, not with the dress sphere she has with her. Even without the sphere, she can still be very fierce with her blade. Trust me, I have seen her wield that thing. If you don't want her slice you into little tiny bits of pieces, which will be so small, Yuna couldn't even recognize you from these pieces, you run if she catches you in action."
Tidus shrugged, "Fine, I will take your words for it. Uh, by the way, since you mention about the weapon, do you by any chance know where my sword is? You know, the one Wakka gave me? I kind of need it for the journey, and some gils too." He paused then muttered, "Man, I can't believe I am asking girl for money. This is embarrassing."
Rikku chuckled, "It's ok. Just remember to invite me to you wedding...if you ever get married haha."
"Now that is just mean." Tidus yelled. "Besides, I don't even know how long my journey is going to take. I might not even succeed. Even if I do, no guarantee that Yuna won't find someone new, or just stop loving me."
"Now you are just being a pessimist. Come on, cheer up. Think about it, Yuna couldn't get over you for 2 years, and she kept searching for you. Would a girl do that if she doesn't love you? I don't think so." Rikku tilted her head, "Uh, about the 'brotherhood,' I know where it is. But it's gonna be hard to get it."
"Why?"
"Because Yuna has it in her warrior sphere...." Rikku answered.
Tidus frowned, "O man. How can I get it without her seeing me?"
Rikku thought for a while, and she came up with a good idea. She said, "Leave it to me. Meet me tonight after you are done with Paine."
Tidus nodded.
Rikku suddenly realized something.
"Uh....Tidus? We need to get you disguised. If you just go out, someone might recognize you."
Tidus groaned, "Damn it, you are right. Now we can't risk that can we? Think you can dress me up?"
Rikku looked at Tidus and commented, "Well, I only have girl outfits....think you can fit in a bikini?"
Tidus' eyes widened. "You have gotta be kidding me."
Rikku shrugged and smiled innocently, "Well, we don't really have options do we?"
Tidus spoke desperately, "There is no other way?"
Rikku replied excitely, "Nope!"
Tidus sighed, "O wellz, if we are doing this wrong, might as well do it right. You better make sure no one will recognize me, or I might as well ask fayth to stop dreaming...."
Rikku looked viciously happy and said to herself, "This is gonna be fun!"
After an hour of dressing Tidus up, he ended with a very tight piece of pant that wrap his butt tightly and barely covers his manhood. Sadly, it seemed that was the best "disguise" they could do, since Tidus rejected the idea of wearing the mini T-shirts Rikku had....not that they fit anyway.
Rikku joked, "Man, you have a nice butt and...."
"Don't even say it!"
Rikku laughed. "Should we do something about the hair?"
"No, don't you even dare to touch it!"
"But!" Rikku protested, after all, it's not everyday she could get the chance to screw someone's hair.
"No BUT!" Tidus picked up a paper bag, cut two holes, and put it on his head. "This will have to do" He sighed.
Rikku looked at Tidus and tried not too laugh. He looked like a mixture of a robber and a pervert. All in all, he just looked too damn ridiculously funny.
Tidus sighed again, and sat on the sofa. "Oh wellz. Go head, laugh it up while you can."
Rikku finally lost it, she laughed so hard she was having trouble breathing.
Suddenly, someone came into Rikku's hut and both Tidus and Rikku jumped up in surprised when they saw Yuna walked in.
Yuna was worried about Rikku. She looked too upset about what Paine said. Yuna thought she should come and checked up on her. However, what came into Yuna's vision were not quite what she expected.... She was looking at a very a naked man with a paper bag covering his face. Although Yuna was a little shocked, she sensed something about this man....something familiar. She noticed the naked man was staring at her too....with eyes that are as blue as the ocean. Yuna was somehow brought into a trance just by looking at these eyes. These are the same deep blue eyes Tidus had. Yuna couldn't help herself and stepped forward with her hands reaching out for the paper bag, wanting to see what was hidden under the bag.
Tidus was amazed what Yuna had become. He almost didn't recognize her, but he did. It was if their soul were connected. He could tell the person standing in front of him is Yuna even with his eyes closed. It was like an intuition. He couldn't help but stare at the most beautiful woman he had even seen. He didn't do anything to stop Yuna from reaching his paper back mask.
SLAP! Rikku was the first person that snapped out of the shock and slapped Yuna's hands off. She yelled, "Yuna, don't do it." then said, "He is my childhood friend. He burnt his face in a fire and he couldn't bare showing his face to anyone."
Yuna suddenly realized what she was doing; trying to take off someone's disguise without approval is not exactly a polite thing to do. She was embarrassed and apologized, "I'm very sorry."
Tidus made a gesture to express that it was ok. Rikku realized Tidus could not speak to Yuna, so she added, "Uh...Yuna, he couldn't speak either. He lost his voice in that fire too."
Now Yuna just felt terrible about what she just did...trying to unmask someone who had lost his voice, burnt his face, and went through all the horrible stuff she probably couldn't even think of. Her face turned red and apologized again, "I'm so sorry. I didn't know what came over to me."
Tidus nodded in hope that Yuna would understand that it was ok. He only knew so many gestures to express what he wanted to say.
Rikku said, "Yuna, he said he is ok. Why don't you go back now, thanks for visiting, I'm ok about what happen in the morning." Rikku then pushed Yuna out of the hut.
Yuna turned at the entrance and asked Rikku, "What is your friend's name? Maybe I could invite him to dinner as an offer of my apology? And....stop pushing me!"
Rikku stopped and scratched her head, "Sorry Yunie, my friend, uh....Tikku, likes to eat alone. He is what people call 'a lone wolf.' He only stayed with me because, you know, I am just so cute and adorable he can't resist me."
Yuna looked disappointed. She felt something, a bond, with "Tikku." Nevertheless, being Yuna, she nodded in understanding and asked Rikku to say sorry to "Tikku" for her and left.
Rikku went back and let out a big sigh in relief. Tidus looked at Rikku, amused.
"Tikku? What kind of name is that?"
"Heh, be nice. That was the best I could come up with in the nick of time. Let's see you do better?"
"Uh, couldn't you make up something common like 'Bob'?"
"That is so impersonal!"
"Oh I get it Rikku. It is more 'personal' when you put your name and my name together. What are you gonna do next? Tell them we are going to get married?"
"That is not it at all?" Rikku yelled. "It's just...."
Seeing Rikku looking upset at his comment, Tidus said, "It's o.k. Rikku. I was just toying with ya. Don't get mad."
Rikku made a face at Tidus. "Meanie ~"
Tidus laughed a little and responded, "That I am Rikku, that I am. Um, since we still have some time before we go with our plan. Why don't you continue tell me the adventure you guys go through while I am gone? Did you guys find out who was the guy that looked like me?"
Rikku sat done and started telling Tidus the rest of YRP adventure...while a very confused Yuna went back to her room and tried to sort out her feeling about "Tikku."
