Yuna smiled at me slyly as soon as Gippal and I boarded the Celsius.

"...What?" I asked.

"How was your date--err--trip?" she asked me.

I paused before frowning. "Date?" My mouth slowly opened, as so did Gippal's. I clamped a hand over it. "Cra cad sa ib...!?" (she set me up...!?) I frowned.

Gippal shook his head. "Hu, cra cad IC ib. E ryja du ytsed druikr...cra tet y bnaddo kuut zup uv ed." (No, she set US up. I have to admit though...she did a pretty good job of it.) Gippal said, winking.

I flushed red. "Crid ib...ur vunkad ed..." (Shut up...oh forget it...)

Gippal snaked his arm around my waist. "So..Frah tu fa damm ajanouha?" (When do we tell everyone?)

I giggled. "E drehg drao ymm ghuf. RAMMU! Ouin yns ec ynuiht so fyecd yht E's hud bissamehk oui du taydr." (I think they all know. HELLO! Your arm is around my waist and I'm not pummeling you to death.)

Brother glared at us. "E cbayg Al Bhed duu. Ryja oui vunkuddah!?" (I speak {Al Bhed} too. Have you forgotten!?) he cried.

I blinked. "Oopsies. Sorry Brother."

"Ehh..." he muttered something under his breath before running off to find Barkeep. Probably to find a broom. I giggled.

Gippal rose an eyebrow before smiling. "E muja ed frah oui myikr." (I love it when you laugh.)

I blushed. "Err...I....uh..."

Yuna rose an eyebrow. "Are you guys...together?"

I rolled my eyes before remarking sarcastically. "No Yunie, he sickens me."

I guess my sarcasm isn't that good, because Yunie made a frowning face. "Oh, okay. Rikku, meet me in my room." she said, walking off.

I frowned. :- "Ummm...I guess I'm not a good actor." ;-;

Gippal laughed. "Why don't you go talk to her?"

"Not like I have a choice." I said with a sigh. I looked around and saw Buddy, Shinra and Tidus are staring at us.

"What?" I asked.

Buddy grinned. "I knew you guys would end up together!"

Shinra did a small dance. "It was pretty obvious."

Tidus frowned. "Not really. I couldn't tell a thing! I mean, you guys were always yelling at each other and teasing each other..."

Buddy, Shinra, Gippal and I groaned before chuckling. I whispered in Gippal's ear. "I'll talk to you later." and gave him a quick peck on the cheek before running off.

Tidus stared at Gippal.

Buddy stared at Gippal.

Shinra stared at his computer.

Buddy sighed. "Look, I know you don't want me going all...Brother on you...but, here's the thing: ...You have to look after her. She's like my sister."

Tidus nodded in agreement. "Rikku's one of my greatest most bestest friends. You hurt her, I'll hunt you down before you can say, 'Sin'."

Gippal put his hands up in defense. "Okay, okay. Geez!"

---

I stared at Yunie for a couple of seconds. "I can't believe you set us up!"

Yuna smiled as we sat on her bed. "I'm sorry. It's just that you two needed to get together."

I rolled my eyes. "Yunie, we ARE together. Didn't you see how he snaked my arm around my waist and in the next 5 seconds I didn't yell at him OR pummel him?"

Yunie made a face before laughing. "Mmmm...I guess. So you guys ARE together?"

I nodded shyly.

"Yeah! This calls for a REAL double date now!" Yuna cheered. "OH! Where's Paine?"

"Right here, like you've asked me for the last 3 times, Yuna." Paine said, rolling her eyes as she sat down on her bed.

"Oh...sorry Paine! Well, maybe we could all go on a triple date!"

"No." Paine answered simply.

Yuna didn't seem to her hear. "Oh! And I could bring Tidus, Rikku with Gippal and Paine with Bara..."

"NO."

"...Lai!" Yuna squealed. "It'll be so much fun!"

"NO!"

I laughed. "Yunie...I don't think Paine wants to go..."

"Then we'll make her!" Yuna smiled, grabbing Paine's arm. "Come on Paine! We've all got dates to go on!"

I smiled and laughed as we walked down the stairs. I smiled and waved at Barkeep. "Mish Rikku, what can I do for yoo?"

"Nothing Barkeep. But umm...next time you see Gippal...tell him we're going on a date."

Barkeep frowned. "Mish Rikku, I'm awfoolly flattered, but ehh...Mishter Gippal seems to like yoo. Ifsh I told her I went on a date with yoo, he'd be...furious!"

I giggled. "No Barkeep...I mean, myself and Gippal."

"Oh! Alrighties shen!" Barkeep smiled and started to hum to himself.

I smiled happily before walking out of the room. We went back into the bridge. I ran towards the door and accidently bumped into someone.

"Owwie..."

"Watch it, Cid's girl."

"Meanie!" I rubbed my rump before stomping on his toe. "Who do you think you are?" I said, pouting and poking him in the chest.

"Cid's girl, you seem to love poking my chest. Why don't we go somewhere else and you can poke it with no one watching?" he said winking.

I flushed red. "Pervert!" I stomped on his toe. Things were kinda the same.

Tidus crossed his arms in satisfaction. "See Buddy! I told you it wasn't that obvious!"

Buddy rolled his eyes but smiled. "Yeah...guess they just have a weird way of showing their undying affliction."

"You mean affection," Tidus corrected.

"Same difference." Buddy grinned, staring at his new favorite couple.
