Chapter 14-
"Paine can you please, please, PLEASE lend us your ship." I begged falling to my knees in an attempt to look more dramatic.
Paine smirked at me and seemed to ponder the thought for a moment, she then looked at Cid and then to Yuna who was standing right next to her. She gave a quick little nod to Yuna and Yuna nodded back. It was like they had this all planned out.
"On one condition..." Yuna smiled.
"You let us come with..." Paine finished.
Cid and I frowned. What didn't they get about this being a serious situation?
"Yuna you are in no shape to do this, your pregnant." I shot back, proud of myself for thinking of this. "And Paine...you should stay and take care of her."
"That's what Tidus is for silly." Yuna chuckled.
I was seriously wondering if they were partying too much last night. Cid was probably thinking the same thing. We had explained the whole thing to them and they didn't get it. Rikku was in danger.
"Fine Paine you come, Yuna you stay. Now let's go!" Cid mumbled, turning to leave.
I glared at him. Who did he think he was, he isn't the leader of this situation. I was. It's my fiancé that we were going to rescue. Not his.
Paine nodded, and ran towards her ship. Leaving me behind. I shook my head in confusion then followed them giving a short goodbye to Yuna.
"Paine's past out" Cid sighed, exiting from the elevator. "We are going to need her tonight when we attack. Who knows how many guards he has. Or how many Al Bhed's he has convinced against me."
I nodded, setting the airship down in the sand. We were only about two miles from our destination but we had agreed to try and sneak in at night without waking anybody, or having to start a fight. The possibility of that working was slim but we had a better chance of getting a little bit of time to get in and everything before they would find us out.
"Right so how do we keep ourselves busy till tonight?" I asked leaning back in the pilot's seat.
"I know...I had something I wanted to show you..." Cid frowned, motioning to the elevator. "It's hidden in the engine room, come on the ship will be safe."
I looked out the window at all the sand...that's all there was...then nodded. This could be quite interesting.
As we walked into the engine room I noticed a small box sitting in the corner of the room. It looked like it was supposed to be part of all the machinery but I knew it wasn't with one glance. Cid walked ahead and picked up the box motioning me to sit down on the steps, as he took a seat.
My head tilted to the side with curiosity as I noticed the words Rikku written in a silvery color on the top. Cid handed it to me and smiled.
"You might want to look through this. I'm going to go keep on the look out. I'll call you if anything happens alright?"
With that Cid stood up and left me alone with only the light drum of the engine to keep me company.
I glanced back down at the box. I was beginning to miss her so much...but I had a feeling this was something I shouldn't be looking at. But then...why would her dad give it to me.
I shrugged opening it a little bit then opening it all the way, peering inside.
Inside I found a little dairy...I opened the diary...flipping through a few doodles before reaching the first entry.
Dear Diary,
I've only dated two people in my life...Gippal and Keyakku...
When I found out Gippal was cheating on me I was enraged...and well sad. I had never been so sad in my life...I swear that I will never love him again. That stupid jerk.
Keyakku was the only good friend I had left. And as soon as I broke up with Gippal he came rushing in.
That was awhile ago...we were still dating when he died. But I guess helping Yuna can help keep my mind off it...I loved him so much...
I closed my eyes and sighed. I remembered that...all of it. I tried telling her I wasn't cheating...but she wouldn't listen. I flipped through some more pages till I found another one titled "I Hate Him"
Dear Diary,
We were playing by the oasis today when Gippal untied my swimming suit. I was in tears by the time he handed it back to me. Luckily I don't think anybody saw anything. But I can't believe he did that.
Gippal apologized later...but I don't trust him, I'll never trust him again.
But this feeling won't go away. I think I still have something for him, no matter how hard I try not to...
I frowned, as I flipped through more entry's mainly her recalling awful things I had done to her. But then I found one quite different. I was the last entry.
Dear Diary,
I found this it's been awhile since I've written...I'm getting married. To Gippal. I've looked through this...and even after all that...I still love him. I can't wait till we get married...my dad doesn't seem to happy about it...but I'm sure he'll adjust.
It's almost my birthday. That's when I'm going to tell him...
Yunie's not the only pregnant one...
I hope it's a girl...I don't want to be over run by the guys.
"A...a...baby..." I choked...dropping the book as if it was infectious.
"GIPPAL!!! Get up here, Paine's up and we think we should go it's starting to get dark."
I nodded slowly, standing up and heading towards the elevator.
Once we rescued her...she was going to get one long talk...
Author's Note: A longer chapter man! Whoop! I loved this chapter...I'm so sorry I'm suffering from writers block. But my ideas are starting to come back. So hopefully the story might be finished soon. - Thanks for sticking with me. Once again, remember their little talk earlier. I like kinda hinting to things. Wee Hope ya like...next chapter will be all the action.
