Morning Shocks
Gippal blinked a few times before realizing where he was. He was in Wakka's hut, laying on a soft futon. Many heads were leaning over his bead staring at him. Then he felt a hand holding gently onto his. He followed the hand with his eyes up to the face. It was Tidus.
"What the heck!?" Gippal screeched in alarm. "Tidus what HAVE you been drinking?" He quickly jerked his back and then touched his fingertips to his lips.
"WHAT THE HECK IS WRONG WITH MY VOICE!?" he screamed. But this wasn't his normal tone...it was Yuna's voice.
Rikku gently slapped what she thought was Yuna's cheek. "Yuna! Snap out of it!" she ordered trying not to burst out in giggles at 'her' last comment.
"I am NOT Yuna!"
Gippal looked at his hands, then legs and outfit, then at his dark brunette hair. Then he noticed something... I have boobs? He asked himself in terror.
"Do you think she has amnesia?" Rikku asked poking 'her' arm, grinning.
Suddenly 'Gippal' blinked a few times and then lifted 'his' head up from the pillow.
"Oh, thank god!" Rikku said, sighing in relief as Yuna looked at the surrounding company. "Gippal I thought you were—"
"Hey I'm not Gippal I'm Y-"Yuna began but got cut off by Gippal's hand covering her mouth.
"Just...shut....up," he said.
"Whoa...Yuna's getting feisty!" Paine laughed when Gippal hushed Yuna.
"So, the fiend made us like...switch bodies?" Yuna asked in Gippal's voice.
Gippal nodded. "Well, that's how it appears. Now, we can't tell the others, they'll just think we're crazy or that we've bumped our heads too hard. SO we'll have to play the part. I'll be you...and you have to be me."
Yuna gasped loudly and then cupped her hands over her mouth.
"Listen, Yuna, I know how you feel but we'll just have to do this until we find a way to switch back...It'll be alright—"
"No, no! Gippal it's not that, it's just...I have a pimple!" Yuna shrieked pointing to a small bump on 'her' face. She reached up and squeezed it making it pop and turn red."Oww! What the hell did you do that for?" Gippal said, rubbing the stinging blemish.
"It's my face, I can do whatever I want to it!" Yuna said, winking. Yuna smiled and then strutted away back to Gippal's hotel room.
"Wait!" Gippal shouted at her.
She turned around and placed her hand on her hips. "Yes?"
"Ok we kinda have to act like each other so um...since you're in my body...can you try not to walk...um...like that?" Gippal asked.
Yuna rolled her eyes. "Oh, okay."
Gippal smiled and tossed her the keys to his hotel room. "But as for me. I've always wanted to try that walk." He joked, walking away, his hips swaying from side to side.
Gippal smiled as he walked past Rikku on his way to Yuna's house. "Hey Cid's girl." He said, waving over his shoulder, not even turning to look at her.
Rikku smirked in irritation and waved back, disgusted. "Hi, Yunie?"
Then Tidus ran up to Gippal and put his arm around his waist. "Hey." He greeted.
Gippal's face turned red hot, avoiding contact with Tidus. "Ugh! Get away gay-wad!"
Tidus stumbled a bit backwards and then Rikku walked up to him. "What is up with her today?" he asked depressingly.
"I dunno," Rikku said. "But I'll find out." She said patting Tidus on the shoulder support.
Rikku skipped merrily to her residence and crammed a pink and yellow tote bag full of her clothes, slippers, robe, and toiletries. Then she giggled softly to herself as she started out the door once more to Yuna's home.
Rikku walked down the road, feeling extra energetic, and waved at Lulu and Wakka as she passed them and then strutted her way down the path.
"Something's happening to our girls, ya?" Wakka said, shaking his head.
Lulu shrugged her shoulders when Yuna skipped past them in the other direction, in Gippal's body.
"Wakka...please tell me im dreaming." Lulu said looking down in embarrassment.
"Um...you're dreaming."
Rikku stood in front of the door smiling and knocked lightly on it with her knuckles. The door slowly opened, to reveal 'Yuna', looking quite surprised at Rikku's visit.
"YUNIE!!" Rikku trapped Gippal in a giant bear hug, squeezing him tightly.
Gippal blushed somewhat and then greeted her with a wave. "Hey, Cid's gir—I mean Rikku." He corrected himself.
Rikku rolled her eyes and tried to ignore the comment as she threw her tote bag onto Yuna's bed.
"Isn't it so beautiful tonight? I mean just look at those stars!" she said laying flat on her back on Yuna's silk sheets.
Gippal followed her gaze out the window and smiled. "Yeah."
"Hey, Yuna?"
Gippal looked back at Rikku. "Yeah?"
"How does it feel to love some one? I mean, how do you know if its really...love?" Rikku asked rolling over to look at Gippal.
"Well..." Gippal began. He wasn't really used to answering these types of questions. He thought a bit. "When you look at some one and then picture yourself with them and it seems perfect. When it seems they're the only thing on your mind and when you're around them it feels like they are the one you could share a lifetime with and they're the only thing that makes your life complete...that kinda feelin'...and, Rikku?"
"Uh huh?"
"Some one feels that way about you." Gippal enlightened her.
Gippal could see a smile appearing on Rikku's face as she walked to the bathroom. Rikku appeared from the bathroom in a short pink and silk nightgown. Gippal's face turned bright red and he shaded his eyes.
"R-Rikku! Could you please put some clothes on? Like a robe or something?" Gippal asked, throwing her bag at her.
"Hey! Yunie you're acting really weird you know! Do you have your period?" she asked putting on her light pink robe.
Gippal groaned loudly as he buried his face in a pillow in shame.
