Chapter VI-

Let see…clothes? No if I bought her anything that it looked like she would wear then she would probably accuse me of being a pervert. Jewelry…hmm…she never has been crazy with jewelry but…maybe a new set of earrings won't kill her.

I looked through the jewelry. Looking through the earrings but failing to find anything good enough for Cid's Girl…I mean my girl. Bracelets, I did find something cute. It was a charm bracelet, it stretched and you could add or take off links. I smiled. Not too flashy but it is cute. I then grabbed a heart, a margarita, the letters LIDEA, and paid for it all together. Hmm…well off to the stuffed animal store.

Walking into this store I felt like a complete pansy. Not only was the store filled with millions of little kids, but most of the little kids…wait no…ALL of the little kids were girls. I stuck out like a sore thumb.

"UNCLE GIPPAL!"

That high pitch screech it could only be…

"Jade! How ya been lil lidea?" I beamed picking the girl up and swinging her around.

"Gippal I'm too old for that I'm 11 now. AND I gotsa BOYFRIEND!" the little Al Bhed girl beamed, after I set her down.

"A boyfriend huh?" I smirked. "Who is the lucky little devil?"

"Hmm…well you see…it's…"

"JADE!"

Another high pitch voice but this one belonged to a boy. I recognized him instantly as the boy who invented the Comm Sphere. Shinra.

"You have go to be kidding me…" I groaned, watching the boy skip over to Jade with a teddy bear in his arms. "This is your boyfriend…he's a wuss."

"You're the one to talk!" Shinra snapped. "Your in a stuffed animal store. What kind of adult man would be in a stuffed animal store?"

"A grown man looking for a present for his future wife would." I shot back, feeling threatened by the little boy.

"Oooohhh….Auntie Rikku?" Jade smiled, clapping her petite hands with joy. "I know get her the monkey. Auntie Rikku LOVES monkeys. She even showed me Ghiki once. Isn't he adorable!?"

"Yeh sure…monkey you say? Alright thanks lil lidea." I smiled, walking further into the mass of children in search of a monkey. "You be nice to your little boyfriend okay?"

"ALRIGHTY!"

I smiled and picked up a soft brown monkey. Perfect. I went to the cashier and paid. Okay…a bracelet…a monkey…what else what else? I turned for advice from the two children but found only one.

"Where'd your boyfriend go?"

"I dunno…said he had somewhere to go. Bye Gippal!"

"Er…wait…you're a girl right?"

Jade sent me a death look.

"Yes…last time I checked. Why?"

I smirked I was getting on her nerves.

"What else should I get Rikku…I got the stuffed animal, the bracelet…" I started but got cut off by Jade.

"Well you got her candy right?"

"Er…no…" I answered, slightly confused.

"HOW COULD YOU NOT GET THE CANDY!?! IF THERE IS ONE MOST INPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD IT'S SUGAR! AND WHAT DOES CANDY HAVE IN IT?"

I raised my eyebrow. What did it matter?

"Uh…"

"SUGAR YOU IDIOT! NOW RUN ALONG TO THE CANDY STORE!"

I let out a fake yelp and ran out of the store. But returned to my normal pace once I was out. The candy store was a few blocks away, but I wasn't going to risk not getting the candy seeing as Jade and Rikku had a lot in common and if Jade liked candy so did Rikku. Besides I think Jade might actually find a gun and shoot me if I don't. That little girl is crazy when she's mad. I smiled to myself as I walked down the street the image of Jade shooting me was very entertaining. So entertaining that for awhile I wasn't looking where I was going. And because I wasn't looking where I was going I bumped into a certain little boy.

"Shinra?"

"Oh crap." Shinra mumbled under his breath but it was load enough for me to hear. That's when I noticed a little girl next to him it was Mahari, the little Paine wannabe.

"Hello Uncle Gippal." her voice was more relaxing than Jade's and less annoying as well. "This is my boyfriend."

"Huh?" I looked around the only boy I saw was Shinra. "Who's your boyfriend?"

Mahari raised her eyebrow and let out a small chuckle. "Who else? Shinra. Did you think I was talking about that tree or the building over there?"

Now it was my turn to chuckle.

"Shinra can't be your boyfriend." I coughed, trying to regain my seriousness.

"And why not?" Mahari growled, if there was one thing she didn't like it was people telling her who she could and could not date.

I suddenly became both shocked and angry. Then I chuckled again. That little brat had gotten himself in some pretty deep shit.

"Because…" I started, only to watch as Shinra started to run for his life. "He is Jade's boyfriend…at least he was a couple of seconds ago. And she seems to think he still is. Funny really…the little wiz kid is becoming a player."

"He's going to get hurt. But first where's Jade. I'm gonna need some help strangling that idiot."

"The stuffed animal store last time I saw her." I smirked.

"Thanks Uncle Gippal."

"No prob…"

This was one of the most interesting shopping trips I have ever been on. And to think it isn't even over yet. I still haven't gone to get candy.

Author's Note: I personally had fun with this chapter. The next chapter will be a continuation of this one…PLUS Gippal will have a little chat with Paine. Oh and I'm sorry for all the back and forth dialogue. I'm being stupid today. Anyway. I want more reviews! ^_^ Hope you guys have fun with this chapter. Oh and by the way I forgot who but someone asked me when I was going to put in Mahari, Jade, and Adar. Well…I did…except Adar but she's coming up ^_^

Disclaimer: GO BUY YOUR GIRLFRIEND CANDY! SHE'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER! Or…at least until she runs out. I don't own any of the Final Fantasy X-2 stuff in my story except Jade, Mahari, and Adar they are mine! But during break I'm going to my aunt's to babysit…meaning I'll have money meaning MAYBE I can buy Final Fantasy. Or…my birthday's coming up in April….on the 4th…if one of my faithful readers wanted a present idea. ^_^
