I am really sorry for not updating faster! I had a very bad case of writers block and still do, which is why this chapter is dangerously short. Please forgive! And also my stupid word [processor cut off half of the chapter so I'll have to re-write that an insert it into the next chapter. Which I'll be starting after I put this one up!

You're very welcome! Hopefully (later on) Baralai won't be lonely either. Oh the triangle situation is going to be very interesting. I'm going to make it a little different. X3
Thank you for all the reviews guys! Where would I be without you? Anyway like I said I have extremely bad writers block, which is why my work isn't as good as before. I know the whole plot and all, in fact I wrote the end of the earlier (it made me cry!) but you know those little kinks you have to work out and all...Well thanks for supporting me along the way everyone! On with the show! Er-story...

Chapter Six: Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid
:::::::::::::::::::::::
Rikku and Gippal had luckily, surprisingly, escaped being seen and caught by Yuna and her own comrade. After rushing to the deck like maniacs and climbing down the side of the massive airship, escaping with a few scratches, the duo finally arrived on Besaid's topical beach.
"Rikku?" Gippal started hesitantly, looking over the blond who was panting like crazy.
"Yeah?" she replied, looking up and wiping a bead of sweat form her forehead.
Gippal erased his own signs of perspirations and looked back at the airship in which they had just preciously escaped from. Shifting his swirled green gaze back to Rikku he chocked out a frustrated laugh and turned away.
"Remind me never to listen to you again." He paused. "I mean it."
Rikku pouted in response and for a few seconds a hint of disappointment flickered across her big glossy orbs. Gippal either didn't notice the look of slight sadness or ignored it completely because the look he gave Rikku afterwards was one of pure annoyance.
Folding her arms across her chest Rikku started down the beach and back to the spot of the Farplane's entryway, uttering a low "meanie" on her way.
Rolling his eyes towards the sky, the clouds still littered heavily across it, Gippal reluctantly followed.
"Hey Cid's Girl? When you said we'd do this on or own did you mean figuring out how the stupid hole got there in the first place also?" Gippal inquired upon his sudden strike of interest.
Rikku shrugged and leaped over a jagged rock covered with fuzzy moss. "I guess so if that's what doin' this on are own means."
"And how are we going to do that exactly?" Gippal muttered, further pressing Rikku's plans.
It wasn't hat he didn't trust Rikku. He knew his little brat had grown considerable. Just the fact of letting the little blond ball of energy take over was a bit risky in his eyes.
"With a little help from Baralai and Nooj of course!" she explained, letting all the anticipation that she had built up on Gippal fall to the ground.
"Some much for doing it by ourselves, Birthday Girl." Her assistance growled, trying his best to catch up with the hyper blond.
"Heh. It's better than Cid's Girl..." she retorted, shrugging her shoulders.
As soon as the couple reached their spot of interest, Rikku yanked out another one of the mini-commspheres from her belt-pouch.
Ignoring all Rikku had to say to Baralai and Nooj; Gippal sighed and sat down on the opposite side of the abyss hopping to be as far away from Rikku as possible. At the time, all physical contact and verbal interaction with Cid's little girl was anything to make him nervous. He blamed himself partially for not controlling himself around her. Then again, Rikku hadn't walked away either. Did that mean...
"Fweeness!" Rikku squealed, jumping into the air. "They agreed to helping us and they won' tell Yunie."
"What's it to you if your cousin knows?" Gippal wondered, raising his eyebrows in question.
"Don't want her to worry is all. And anyway, we're going to need a lot of help with this. Help that doesn't worry about me."
Scratching the side of her head with a single finger, a habit she had yet to grow out of, Rikku laughed weakly at her proclamation and wandered out of the dingy cave.
Gippal sighed and shook his head at her naïve demeanor, kicking a rock into the hole, waiting for the appropriate sound to signify it had reached the bottom. When no sound made it to his ears, he screwed up his face and leaned over to check and see. The endless black abyss was all that greeted him.
"I hope she knows what she's doing..." he commented to himself, his eye wandering to the bouncy Al Bhed.
"Oi!! Noojster! Baralai! Over here!" Rikku cried, waving her hands furiously over her head at the two approaching men.
Gippal's trust in Rikku was immediately extinguished for her lack of knowledge in what she was doing was painfully obvious.
"On the other hand I'm pretty sure she had no idea..." he muttered, leaning back against the cave wall with exasperation.
