Chapter I-



"Come on sleepy head! Wake up!" Rikku's voice boomed.

"Just one more minute." I moaned, I was actually having a good dream right now. Why did she come and have to ruin it.

Rikku just pouted. Turning around on her heels and stomping out of the room. I smiled and opened my eyes slowly. Well you actually only one, but you get the idea. Then I shoved the covers off of me and went to get dressed. I had just pulled up my pants and was reaching for my shirt win I heard the door open again.

"Hey Gippal…oh sorry…" Rikku murmured obviously a little embarrassed and started to close the door.

"Hmm…It's okay. What do you need now?" I smirked holding the shirt in my arms instead of pulling it on right away.

Rikku blushed. "Uh…I just wanted to tell you that Yunie and I are going shopping. Tidus is staying here to give you some company. He says he needs to talk to you about something. Well…gotta go then see ya later."

"Later Lidea!" I called after her.

I looked down at my shirt and slowly pulled it over my head and headed downstairs right as Rikku and her cousin walked out the door.

"Nice place you got here…" Tidus smiled at me. "Yuna and I are still having our place built. How many bedrooms you got?"

"Just three. And the two are small. So it isn't that great." I replied slightly annoyed that I had to stay here with Tidus. don't get me wrong Tidus is cool but sometimes he can be a total airhead.

"So…I heard you are getting married."

I nodded. Rikku was really bad at keeping secrets. But at least her father didn't know yet. Unless someone told Brother. Brother would undeniably tell someone.

"So when is the big day?" Tidus pestered.

"We decided to wait awhile. Maybe a month or two." I replied, smoothing my hair for a second and looking up to find Tidus mimicking me.

"Well I'll make sure to throw you one hell of a bachelor party okay?" the blonde boy chuckled punching my arm gently.

"Uh…sure whatever…"

*BEEP BEEP BEEP*

"Ah…I better get that." I said jumping up to escape from Tidus.

I turned on the commsphere and saw Baralai on the other end he was sitting by Nooj. They looked way to serious.

"Yo! You guys I really apreciate you calling me you have perfect timing! I wasn't sure how much longer I could deal with…"

"Gippal we need to inform you of something. Can you settle down and listen for a second?" Nooj growled.

"Uh sure…so what's up?"

"Well…we received a call from Paine yesterday. She told us the Yuna told her that Rikku told her that you and Rikku are engaged. And we are worried for your safety since while Paine was informing us of this brother was standing right behind her. Not only was he staring at Paine's…uh…lower waist but when Paine told us he had this really sinister smile on his face. Like he was going to go tell the world. We are worried he might tell Cid." Baralai replied, gasping for a breath once he finished.

I just stood there. It took me awhile to reply, I was confused seeing that he talks way to fast.

"Uh yeah…so Paine…and Brother…and Cid?" I sputtered. "Umm…what?"

Nooj sighed as Baralai released a chuckle. "Cid know about you and Rikku. Or most likely does. Since Brother knows."

"How does Brother know?"

Baralai was now amused very much. He smiled broadly and watched as Nooj thought of what to say.

"Brother knows because he learned how to read minds and when Paine was telling us about you and Rikku. He used his telepathic powers to read her mind while standing right next to her." Nooj replied sarcastically.

I knew what was going on but decided to push once more.

"Why didn't Brother just listen when Paine told you guys? Does he have a hearing problem now too?"

"Goodbye Gippal." Nooj growled turning off his end of the sphere.

"What was that all about?" Tidus asked walking into the room and examining the commsphere.

"Well it has something to do with Brother groping Paine and him knowing about me and Rikku. Meaning sooner or later…or maybe already, Cid knows." I sighed, turning off my end with a click.

"Oh I see…so since when did Brother have telepathic powers?"

Lidea-Cutie

Author's Note: hehe. I love making fun of Tidus...I didn't do it enough in the last one cuz it was in Rikku's view and Rikku erally can't make fun of Tidus. But Gippal can! YESH! Thats why I love him so! Anyway R&R and then I'll post more ok? OK!
