Chapter 3

Gippal in my head

The Gullwings (Just Yuna, Paine and Rikku), headed to Djose Temple to receive the gratitude prize from Gippal.

They met up with Gippal in the temple (where you can see some machinas).

"Lady Yuna." Gippal smiled, "I heard you defeated Perishmin. Another fiend that threatens Spira - let alone Bikanel."

"Just give it!" Paine demanded.

"Alrighty, then." Gippal took out an orange sphere from his pocket and handed it to Yuna.

"Thanks." Yuna smiled, grabbing the sphere quickly from Gippal's hand.

Gippal grinned and bowed, "Okay, see you, then." he turned away.

Yuna got suspicious but didn't care. Both Yuna and Paine went back to the Celsius. Rikku insisted to stay and agreed to make them go back in Djose Temple in two shakes.

The Celsius left. Rikku stood in front of the temple and breathed in. At that moment, she had butterflies in her stomach. She wanted to see him, see more of Gippal. She didn't know Why but she just considered the past as her answer to that question.

Sometime after Vegnagun's defeat, before Yuna and Tidus' marriage, Gippal had and Rikku had more times together.

Rikku couldn't just forget about them. And since then, her mind was usually on Gippal. It was an advantage for her that Tidus took over most missions with Yuna and Paine instead of her. That way, she could think of her life, future, love life, Gippal, Gippal and more of Gippal.

And at the moment, she didn't know what to do. She didn't know how to start conversations in times like this.

Rikku took a deep breath and let all her stress out, "Gippal I - not too fast, Rikku..." she told herself as she stepped in the temple, not aware that she had entered the temple.

"Gippal, are... wait a sec..." Rikku looked up to see Gippal in front of her, staring at her.

"Hey Cid's girl! Why are you still here?" Gippal chuckled.
