FORGIVE ME PEOPLE!!! SO SO SORRY!!! This was the old chapter 3 now it's chapter 4... um... the Al Bhed words are already translated. And, I'll keep in mind about the Barkeep-Hypello thing. Sorry.

Chapter 4

Private Conversation

That's what Rikku hated about Gippal, his annoying attitude that starts to be the voice in her head.

Rikku sighed, "E'ja dumt oui syho desac pavuna, Gippal, E RYJA Y HYSA!!!" (I've told you many times before, Gippal, I HAVE A NAME!!!) she yelled.

"Ugyo, ymnekrd, veha, cu, Fro yna oui rana?" (Okay, alright, fine, so, Why are you here?) he asked again.

Rikku's eyes widened, 'Oh, no! I don't know what to say...' she thought.

Gippal waited, "Fro?" (Why?)

Rikku looked up into Gippal's eyes - er - eye, "Fryd rybbahat du oui y frema yku?" (What happened to you a while ago?)

Gippal blinked, "Y frema yku?" (A while ago?) he echoed, "Fryd ypuid ed?" (What about it?)

Rikku shrugged, "Oui'na hud iciymmo mega dryd. Fryd'c ib?" (You're not usually like that. What's up?)

Gippal turned around, "Ed'c huha uv ouin picehacc, Rikku!" (It's none of your business, Rikku.)

"Ur oac ed ec, Gippal!" (Oh, yes it is, Gippal!) Rikku retorted.

Gippal went in his room, silently. Rikku followed him, "Gippal." she called. She happened to love that name very much at that moment.

"Fryd?" (What?) Gippal yelled, a little annoyed.

"Gippal, E - oui..." (Gippal, I - you...) Rikku stammered, "Oui bnusecat sa, Gippal!" (You promised me, Gippal!) she started whimpering.

Rikku wasn't lying. Gippal was breaking a promise. Both promised to each other that they'd answer every question they'd ask each other.

(A/n: another not-so-obvious way to show that they care)

Gippal's expression softened and put his arm around Rikku to comfort her, "Hu, hu. Neggi, E's cunno. E teth'd - E teth'd-" (No, no. Rikku, I'm sorry. I didn't - I didn't-)

Both sat on the bed. "E's Cunno, Rikku." (I'm sorry, Rikku.) Gippal apologized.

At that moment, Rikku sensed a Deja Vu. 'Where have I seen this?' she asked herself.

"Rikku?" Gippal called her name.

Rikku snapped herself to reality again, "Ur cunno, Gippal, E cbylat uid." (Oh sorry, Gippal, I spaced out.)

Gippal laughed, "muugat mega ed." (Looked like it.)

There was silence in the room for a moment, "Gippal, I have to tell you something..." Rikku started.

Gippal listened to what Rikku was about to tell him, "Rikku..."

Just then, an Al Bhed person stepped in the room, "Gippal! A call from the Gullwings. Looking for... Rikku? Was it?"

Rikku's words got lost in the middle of the forest. Gippal was lost too.

Both cleared their throats. "I have to go." Rikku stood up.

"Yeah. Okay, I'll see you then." He smiled and stood up, "See ya, Cid's girl." he teased again.

Rikku grinned, "Bye, Gip!" and she left, so did the Al Bhed person.

"Yeah, bye, Rikku." Gippal murmured.
