Her Sweet Life

by Kanata Fureda

Since every ending was another beginning in life, Rikku thinks her life only had one beginning, though she did not want it to end. There was something to finish her final chapter in her story, the missing piece in her puzzle. Gippal. RR, please.

2. Rikku's Dream

Thanks for reviewing and commenting me, um, just read on...

Chapter 2

"Rikku's Dream"

Rikku smiled as Tidus left. Then, she turned to Hypello, "Hypello, I need to sleep..." she yawned.

"Shleep tight, mish Rikku." (A/n: is that the way Hypello calls Rikku? Anyway...)

Rikku fell asleep; and when one sleeps, one dreams...

When Rikku woke up, she found herself lying on a bed with white sheets. She knew she definitely was no longer in the Celsius.

Rikku sat up, observing every single detail in the circular-shaped room. "Where am I?" she asked herself.

She noticed a machina in the middle of the room (a/n: the thingamabob in the middle of Gippal's room in Djose temple)

"I must be in Djose Temple." she said to herself.

Then, she heard footsteps from outside getting louder and louder.

Rikku quickly covered herself, under the sheets and closing her eyes to pretend that she was sleeping.

The door swung open and Gippal came in with Baralai.

"There she is." Gippal said softly, trying not to wake Rikku up. Both walked towards the bed.

"Now, isn't she an angel?" Baralai said.

Gippal nodded in agreement, "Yes. I find her pretty, too." he added.

"Now, isn't she an angel?" "I find her pretty, too" the same voices went on repeatedly in Rikku's head, it wouldn't stop.

Rikku had no expression in her face. She didn't want to wake up even though she was perfectly aware of their conversation about her.

Then, when Rikku finally opened her eyes, she found herself lying on the bed in the moving Celsius and sat up, "Whoa." She tried to catch up to her breath, "What was that all about?"

"What was what about?" Paine, as usual, questioned Rikku.

Rikku turned to her left seeing Paine, "Paine! You killed Perishman?" Rikku asked.

"Yes we killed Perishmin. Not Perishman." Paine corrected, "What happened to you?"

Rikku looked down, "Nothing, I just slept. I..." she tried to recall what excuse she told Tidus earlier, "I didn't feel good. That's just it." she grinned.

Paine nodded looking suspicious; "We'll be in the bridge if you need us." she left. (a/n: when Paine said WE she meant, Yuna, Tidus, Paine, Shinra, Buddy and Brother. Just to clear up things.)

Rikku grinned and nodded, "Okay, thanks."

When Paine disappeared from Rikku's point of view, Rikku let herself fall back on the bed, "Oh my..."
