(A/N)Yup, here I am! I'd like to thank all my reviewers! Especially Fancy Critic, well, maybe not thank you, but I'd like to point out a couple of things; like the monkey, I know it was kinda stupid, I had planned it to be some kind of fiend, but I changed my mind. And the reason Rikku fell in love with Gippal instead of the first person she lays her eyes on, well, instead of putting critics on that one I think you should understand that the answers to those kinds of questions always comes up IN LATER CHAPTERS, so I'm gonna continue writing this fic, why? Because the majority of my reviewers want me to! If you'd like to find out why Rikku suddenly fell in love with Gippal, well then you're just gonna have to keep reading the fic!

Sweet Raine: COOKIES!

The plot will become more complex, maybe not in this chap, but the language might get a little...harsch...or...somethin'...
Anyways, here's chapter two!

Just havin' a little fun
"What…is HE doing on MY airship?" Brother screamed at the top of his lungs. "Gippal! Mayja so creb nekrd HUF! (Leave my ship right NOW!)"

"Screw you Brother!" Rikku said as she clung on tighter to Gippal. "Gippy's staying right here with me!"

'Gippy?' Gippal thought.

They were all back onboard the Celsius bridge, and Brother was going ballistic.

"Brother, could we have a world with you and Buddy?" Yuna asked in a calm voice.

"Why is Rikku clinging onto him?" Brother asked. "He's not coming with us is he?"

"I'm afraid I am!" Gippal said as he tried to wriggle out of Rikku's grip.

"Rikku, could you and Gippal go wait in the cabin?" Tidus asked. "I think we need to explain some things here…"

"Sure!" Rikku beamed as she began to drag Gippal towards the elevator.

"Oh, and Gippal!" Yuna called after them. "Remember what I told you!"

"Yeah, yeah I know!" Gippal said and waved his hand dismissingly as he thought back on what Yuna had instructed him about.

"Remember, you be close to her, but not TOO close and yet not too far away," Yuna said as she poked Gippal in the chest. They were standing outside the temple, Rikku was currently in Gippal's room, 'helping' him pack.

"Which means; no sex, and absolutely NO breaking her heart!" Yuna continued with a warning tone in her voice.

"Okay I get it!" Gippal said, as he at the same time tried to tell Sheila about the most important work that had to be done. "But what do I do if SHE tries to get inside of MY pants?" He waved at Sheila, telling her to get back to work.

"Find an excuse to make her stop!" Yuna said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"Whatever," Gippal said as he massaged his temples. "But I gotta say that THIS Rikku is all the more annoying than attracting!"

"That's not a nice thing to say!" Yuna scolded him. "She's a perfectly attractive woman!"

"I know!" Gippal yelled. "It's just that I'm actually used to being followed by women, but THIS is a little too much!"

"Oh, and remember," Yuna said. "No tongue kisses."

"Geez, what are you? My incarnated mother?" Gippal asked with a frown on his face.

"Tongue kisses often leads to worse things!" Yuna said and poked Gippal's chest. "And since Rikku is a virgin I can't let such things happen to her!"

"Okay, okay don't worry!" Gippal said and held his hands up in defense. "I'm not gonna lay my hands on her, the problem is how I'm gonna keep HER hand off of ME!"

"Just go with the flow." Yuna said and smiled. "As long as you remember to-

"Not screw her, not kiss her, and not break her heart." Gippal finished.

"Good." Yuna smiled wide.

"Gippal!" Rikku's voice rang out as she came running out of the temple. "I packed your things REALLY nicely!"

Gippal sighed and hung his head, Yuna patted his back and said "Just be a good boy." Then she turned to Rikku and grinned.

"Wow, that was certainly fast, Rikku!" She said.

"Anything for my Gippal!" Rikku said as she jumped at Gippal with a big suitcase in her hand.

"Whoa! Easy Cid's girl!" Gippal said as he almost fell over.

Rikku giggled as they all walked towards the Celsius.


"So where's Paine?" Buddy asked as Rikku and Gippal had disappeared into the elevator.

"She went to Bevelle to check if they had something in their archive about that monkey." Yuna said.

"The monkey?" Brother said and scratched his head.

"We think that's what's making Rikku act like this." Tidus said.

"I thought so…" Shinra said as he sat in his old chair.

"Do ya know anything about it?" Tidus asked.

"Nope…" Shinra said.

"But I thought you had info about every fiend in Spira on that computer of yours!" Tidus said.

"….I'm just a kid." Shinra shrugged.

"Huh?" Tidus looked confused.

"Don't ask." Yuna whispered.

"Alright, now back to the obvious question." Brother said and everybody faced him. "WHAT is Gippal doing here? HE is the problem!"

"We thought that it would be best to let Rikku have her way…" Yuna said calmly. "At least until we know what to do."

"So…you're just gonna let them…you know…" Buddy said.

"No." Yuna said. "I told Gippal that there are certain limits, so he'll probably keep his pants on."

"But uh…what if it's the other way round?" Buddy asked.

"Huh?" Yuna looked confused.

"Well, from my point of view it looks like it would be Rikku who pulled her clothes of first."

"Buddy!" Brother shouted, he clearly didn't like the sound of it.

"Well, I told him to make up an excuse for them to stop…if they would end up in such a situation." Yuna said.

"And…you expect him to remember that when the time comes?" Buddy asked with amusement in his voice.

"What do you mean?" Yuna asked with a confused look.

"Well…we guys have a little trouble with saying 'no' in those kinds of situations." Buddy said with a small laugh.

"He's right." Tidus whispered to Yuna as he leaned closer to her.

"well…we just have to keep a close eye on them then." Yuna said firmly.

"Alright…" Brother said. "But if Gippal ever lay his hands on my little sister I'll kill him!"

"Don't worry about it Brother!" Tidus said and tried to smile.

"So uh….where to now?" Buddy asked as he walked back to his seat.

"Besaid." Yuna said.

Brothers eyes widened. "What? But we haven't finished our reunion journey yet!"

"Sorry Brother," Yuna said with a pleading look. "But we're gonna have to put that on hold, atleast until Rikku's back to her old self again!"

Brother looked at Yuna's expression, he still had a soft spot for her, then he nodded. "Okay…" He said.

"I have to get back to work anyway." Shinra stated.

"How?" Buddy asked. "Your sponsor is busy babysitting Rikku!"

"Me and the Kinderguardians are engineering a new invention of mine…hehehe…" Shinra chuckled.

The cabin

"Barkeep, Darling…this is Gippal!" Rikku said cheerfully as she introduced Gippal to the two Hypellos. "A REALLY special friend of mine!"

"Pleashed too meet yoo?" The Hypellos said.

"Uhm…yeah…" Gippal said, a little nervous, he couldn't make up his mind about which was the male and which was the female.

"Oh, and this is where I usually sit when I'm eating!" Rikku said as she dragged Gippal over to the small table next to the stairs. ""Buddy and Brother just sit in the bar or take their food to the Bridge! Oh, and this is where me and Yuna used to do our singing rehearsals, I do it alone nowdays though since she and Paine usually aren't around anymore!"

"Rikku, why is there a chocobo in the cabin?" Gippal asked as he noticed the yellow bird clamping about near the small stage.

"Isn't it cute?" Rikku squealed with delight as she hugged the chocobo. "We found him in the thunder plains last year!"

"Don't it get….messy?" Gippal asked.

"Nope, we bring him out all the time!" Rikku said as she shook her head. "Oh, and these are our beds!" She said as she cheerfully grabbed Gippal's arm (again) and dragged him up the stairs.

"This is my bed!" Rikku said with a little wink as she jumped onto the left bed. "It's kinda lonely here nowdays, with Paine living in Bevelle, and Yuna in Besaid with Tidus, Buddy and Brother always had their own private rooms." She sighed and lay back onto the bed.

'Is she always going to this hyper?' Gippal thought. 'I mean, she's always been hyper, but not this hyper!'

'Oooh, I can't believe he's going to stay with me and Yunie in Besaid!' Rikku thought happily. 'This is going to be so much fun! Now I'm just gonna have to figure out a good way to make him come back to me!' Suddenly she had an idea.

"You want a drink?" Rikku asked as she bolted out of bed.

"No, I-" Gippal said, but Rikku was already dragging him down the stairs, and the next thing he new, Rikku pushed him onto a chair in the bar.

"Barkeep, give us a bottle of nuddan vodka!" Rikku said as she happily bounced down in the seat next to Gippal.

"Are yoo shure mish Reekoo?" Barkeep asked. "Ish very shtrong, yes?"

"Oooh, don't worry about it!" Rikku said as she waved the statement off.

"If yoo shay sho?" Barkeep said as he bulled out a large bottle and two shot glasses.

"Remember when we used to compete about who was the bigger drinker?" Rikku asked Gippal as she poured up vodka in the glasses.

Gippal chuckled. "It always ended the same way; we both got so drunk we never remembered who won."

"Bet ya this time I'll win!" Rikku winked.

"Cid's girl, I don't think it's a good idea to-"

"Three, two, one, GO!" Rikku said and they both downed their glasses.

Gippal slammed his glass on the counter. "Damn!" He exclaimed as he felt the liquor burn in his throat.

"Good stuff, huh?" Rikku giggled. "Up for another round?"

Gippal looked at her as she waved a little with the bottle, he thought for a second, but then he grinned his cocky grin and said. "Ah, what the hell!"

And with a triumphant grin Rikku poured up the second round….and the third….and the fourth….and the fifth….and the sixth….and the seventh….and the eighth….and the ninth…..and so on. It was getting dark.

They were now both sitting there laughing madly, talking about old memories. Barkeep and Darling had left them alone, in case they wanted some privacy.

"…or that time when you decided you wanted a pet and brought home a Lupine puppy!" Gippal laughed. "Cid was furious!"

"Don't laugh about that!" Rikku said, laughing just as much. "He shot the poor baby!"

"Rikku, it almost bit his hand off!" Gippal pointed out, waving around with his own hand.

"It was just playing!" Rikku yelled, trying to control her giggles while almost spilling her drink.

Gippal downed his glass and let out a huge "Whoa!"

"What about the time when YOU decided to steal a kiss from me in front of entire Home?" Rikku said poked Gippal's nose playfully.

Gippal laughed even harder.

"Man, I have NEVER seen Cid that mad!" He panted through his laughter.

"You had to hide a whole WEEK so that pops wouldn't kill ya!" Rikku laughed and leaned over the counter to grab two bottles of beer. She opened them and handed Gippal one.

"We sure spent some good times together!" Gippal said as he took a sip of his beer.

"I miss those times you know." Rikku sighed and smiled at him. "And I've missed you…"

Gippal looked at her and there was a short silence, then he smiled and said "I've missed you too, Rikku." Then he took the almost empty bottle of vodka and downed what was rest of it.

Bad move.

The next thing he knew, he was lying flat on his back with the room spinning around in his head. Rikku laughed and jumped off of her chair and knelt down next to him.

"I guess this means I win."

Gippal snorted, but then he smiled. "Whatever, Cid's girl."

Rikku laughed, but then she started to massage his stomach, enjoying his abs. "I have a name, you know."

"Please don't do this Rikku." Gippal said with an expressionless face.

"Don't do what?" She asked sweetly as she slid her hand in under his shirt, Gippal winced.

"That." He said.

"Why not?" Rikku pouted a little, making her look extremely cute as she leaned in closer to Gippal's face.

"Because it feels too damn…good." Gippal said, Rikku had the upper hand, and they both knew it.

"I'll stop when I want to." Rikku said and smiled wickedly.

'Not good, not good, not good NOT GOOD!' Gippal thought. Normally he would have enjoyed this treatment, but he new this wasn't really how Rikku would act, and let's not forget the fact that Yuna would probably castrate him if something happened.

He closed his eyes as he felt the room spin, 'damn all the vodka!' and then, without warning, he passed out.

"Gippy?" Rikku asked as she noticed Gippal's limp head and closed eyes. "Gippy? Don't fall asleep now!" She pouted, but then she got a wicked smile on her face. She licked her lips and grabbed Gippal's head, she closed her eyes and leaned in, closer, closer, and-

"Uhm, Rikku?" A voice said.

Rikku looked up; Tidus was standing in the doorway with a weird look on his face.

"Heh, you drugged him or something?" He asked.

"Rikku!" Yuna's face poked out from behind Tidus and she ran up to her cousin. She looked down at Rikku with the look of a mother who just caught her ten year old daughter doing something really naughty, she sure sounded like one two.

"You've been a really bad girl missy!" Yuna said as Rikku looked like she had just been caught with her hand in the cookie-jar.

"Aww, come on Yunie!" Rikku giggled as she stood up on unsteady legs. "We were just havin' a little fun!"

"I don't see ho GIPPAL can have fun since he's unconscious." Yuna said as she narrowed her eyes and smiled. "Time to go to bed Rikku, it's late and you're really drunk."

"Can I take Gippy with me?" Rikku asked excitedly as she perked up.

"Nuh-uh," Yuna said and waved a finger in front of Rikku. "He's gonna be sleeping in Paine's bed, and You're gonna sleep in your bed while me and Tidus are going to sleep in my bed."

"No fair!" Rikku pouted. "How come you get a hunky boy in your bed while I have to sleep alone?"

"Because Tidus and I are a couple," Yuna said as she poked at Rikku's nose. "But you and Gippal are not."

"Poopie," Rikku stomped, and nearly fell in the process. "Why did he have to pass out now? Couldn't he wait a couple of minutes?"

'Couldn't you guys wait till I kissed him?' She thought.


Well...how's that? Review review review!
