Chapter X-
Wakka, Lulu, Vidina, Kimahri, Tidus, Paine, Baralai, Nooj, Leblanc, Ormi, Logos, Brother, Nhadala, Jade, Mahari, Adar, Shinra, and the whole population of Besaid were there. Plus Yuna, who was currently off keeping Rikku busy in the Calm Lands. We had decorated the beach of Besaid. A volleyball net was up in the center of the beach, blitz balls were scattered around on the sand, plus of course a long table filled with food. Towels were set right above the tide line. All of us were hiding up in the bushes awaiting Rikku and Yuna's arrival.
Suddenly, the airship landed. And Rikku and Yuna came running out. Rikku looked around perplexed a bit at first then we all kind of jumped out, yelling surprise. I think that kind of boosted her memory.
"It's my…birthday…" she sighed merrily as if she had just remembered. "You guys…you did this for me?"
No one answered we just all jumped down and surrounded her. Soon, after the shock was over she began to jump up and down with joy. She smiled at everyone, thanking them personally. Once she got to me she wrapped her arms around me with such force that I almost toppled over. But I held my ground and she continued to thank everyone else.
"Alright already!" Tidus exclaimed, seeming very bored. "I say we play chicken. The rules are that you pair up and One person goes on the others shoulders. Then the other pairs have to try to knock each other off. (AN That's a very bad explanation…but you guys know what I'm talking about right?) So lets go!"
All the guys nodded and pulled off there shirts, while the girls ran into the village to change. When they came back I was…well pleasantly surprised at Rikku's bathing suit. It was basically her Berserker outfit, minus the fur and weird markings. She quickly sprinted over to me going directly behind me and jumping onto my back. Then she leaned forward and whispered in my ears.
"We got to win this Gippally!" she squealed with delight. Yes her hyper-active attitude was finally back in place.
I just nodded and followed the other couples into the water. Wakka and Lulu. Leblanc and Nooj. Yuna and Tidus. Paine and Baralai. Kimahri and Adar. Brother and Jade. Nhadala and Mahari. Shinra, the poor boy was left all alone. Though by the looks of it he was too battered up to play. Well he did have Vidina. He decided to keep watch.
"READY GO!" Shinra shouted. And immediately Rikku and I went for Leblanc and Nooj.
"EEK! Stop it! Your messing up my hair!" Leblanc shrieked, trying to shove Rikku away.
"BOSS!" Ormi and Logos exclaimed, rushing over to try and pry Rikku off Leblanc. Fortunately my foot was 'accidentally' placed in front of them before the could do so, sending both of them hurdling into the water with a splash. Rikku giggled, and continued at Leblanc.
"NOOJIE WOOJIE! Make them stop!" she complained.
"GIPPALLY WALLY!" I mimicked. "Let's finish this."
I smirked and used one free hand, the other was holding onto Rikku, to shove Nooj. That set off a chain reaction. Nhadala and Mahari, and Brother and Jade, who had been fighting behind Nooj, Turned right in time to see Nooj and Leblanc fall over, sending them down in the process.
"THE REMAINING TEAMS ARE: YUNA AND TIDUS, PAINE AND BARALAI, WAKKA AND LULU, AND RIKKU AND GIPPAL! WAIT MAKE THAT YUNA AND TIDUS, PAINE AND BARALAI, AND RIKKU AND GIPPAL!" Shinra shouted, keeping his distance from three girls who were eyeing him dangerously.
Tidus then did the stupidest thing I had ever seen him do. He tried to do a little victory dance, and lost his balance sending him and Yuna into the water. For one he didn't even win yet. And two…who the hell did he expect he could keep Yuna on his shoulders while doing a underwater back flip. That stupid boy.
So now it was just Baralai and Me. And well Rikku and Paine. Rikku attempted many times to shove Paine but Paine blocked each time. I tried shoving Baralai. But he kept his balance and just shoved back. Finally Paine stopped blocking Rikku's 'attacks' and went on an all out offensive. Shoving Rikku as hard as she could straight into the water, sending me with her.
I met Rikku's eyes underneath the water. She smiled and swam towards me to give me a hug. I smiled and kissed her lips. Not as long as what Tidus and Yuna did in Macalania, which Rikku had told me all about. But I'm sure it had to be better. Then we smiled at each other and went up for air.
"Presents time!" Rikku shouted, swimming towards the shore without giving me a second glance.
I smiled and followed her, as she skipped towards her presents. Everyone was already there waiting for us. Baralai gave me a look. One of those. What took you guys so long to get up here looks and I just smirked at him.
Rikku grabbed the first present she saw and tore the paper off from around it. Inside was a box, and inside the box was a very Aztec looking necklace.
"From Kimahri." the big cat said, smiling brightly. Which if I do say so myself looked really creepy.
"Thank you!" Rikku nodded pleasantly, setting the necklace and its box to the side and grabbing another present…
And another…
And another…
And more and more…
Baralia's gift was pretty entertaining. He had gotten her a red mage outfit, which consisted of your basic red bikini set. I burst into laughter when I saw it. Rikku picked it up and raised her eyebrow.
"The threads are loose…like it could just fall apart…if I put it on…leaving me…" she paused, and scowled at the gift. "Since when have you been such a pervert Baralai!?"
She chucked the 'red mage' outfit at him, and nearly all the boys burst into a fit of laughter. Including one villager who yelled, "At Least try the thing on!" I glared at him and he shut up. Actually most of them shut up at that. Rikku smiled at me then picked up another gift. I recognized the wrapping paper. It was my gift to her.
She opened each individually. Hugging her soft monkey plushie and quickly naming it Ghiki Jr., placing the link bracelet around her wrist, and grinning like crazy at her candy. At that point Jade was also grinning and gave me a little wink. Girls and there sugar…I will never understand it…
"Thank you everyone…and now we eat!" Rikku announced.
