-Chapter Two-
Meeting Gippal
When Rikku woke up the following morning, she was extremely hungry. Didn't anyone wake her up for dinner yesterday?
"Meanies…" she thought as she tiredly got out of her bed and started to dress. What a great start at this day…
She picked up her packed bag and then she slowly walked down the stairs, down to the kitchen and took a cup of tea before she went outside to look for her father.
She found him a short while later, talking to her annoying big brother; Brother. Even his name was annoying…
"Pop…I'm ready to leave…" she yawned and rubbed her eyes.
"Oh, Rikku…" Cid said and turned around to look at her "Took ya long enough" he grinned and gave his daughter a little hug.
"You should be grateful, pops!" Rikku grinned back and yawned again "But…How will I get there?" she said when she stopped yawning "Ya don't expect me to walk there, are ya?"
"'Course not!" Cid chuckled and pointed at Brother "Brothers gonna pick some stuff up at Luca and then he'll just drop you off by Mushroom Rockroad. He can fly my airship, y'know"
Rikku looked at Brother. "Hope this'll be a short flight…"
"So. Before ya go, listen to me very carefully now, Rikku" Cid began and looked with Rikku with a very strict face "When you get there, just look around for this guy named Gippal. He'll already be there. And when you find him, you're just gonna go to the Crusaders headquarter and they'll tell you what to do, 'kay?"
Rikku nodded.
"Understood!" she smiled.
"And you'd better take these with you" Cid said as he gave her a little bag.
"What's this?" Rikku asked and took the bag in her free hand.
"A tent and some other camping things that might come in handy…" Cid explained.
"Okay…" Rikku frowned. "I'd forgotten about that…"
Cid seemed to understand what she was thinking, because he hurried to tell her that she would have a tent of her own which caused Rikku to sigh of delight.
"Well then, we'll better get going" Rikku sighed and gave her father a little kiss on his cheek and then got on board the airship with her brother, waving to her father as long as she could see him.
Rikkus wish that it would be a short flight didn't exactly get fulfilled. Three hours later a hungry and sleepy Rikku got out of her fathers airplane, waved goodbye to Brother and sat down on one of her bags with a little sigh.
"Now what..?" she looked around to see if she could find this Gippal, but he was nowhere in sight, so she stood up, lifted up her bags and began to walk around. But that didn't exactly help.
"Ohh!" she angrily said as she sat down on her bag again. "Pop said that he would be here! Maybe I should try to find the crusaders headquarter by myself? Yeah. That's it!"
So she stood up again, lifted up her bags and smiled to herself. But the smile disappeared just a second later, when she realised that she didn't know the way to the crusaders headquarter.
"Aww, man!" she said and sat down for the third time on her bag.
"I am so going to kill you, pops…" she said as she closed her eyes, but then she heard something. "A…chuckle!" she quickly opened her eyes and looked around to see who the chuckle belonged to.
Then she saw him – sitting in the only tree, smiling a cocky smile as he continued his chuckle.
"Aw, how could I miss that tree!" Rikku thought and hit her head. That sure was stupid of her.
"Uh, are you Gippal?" she asked the boy in the tree as she frowned. He had blonde hair that stood straight up from his head, and two green eyes, just as her own.
"Yep…" he grinned and looked at her and began to smile his cocky smile again "So then I guess you're Cid's girl…"
"Eh? Cid's girl!" Rikku yelled at the boy "What do you mean with that!"
The boy didn't change the expression on his ckocky face, even though Rikku yelled at him. Still smiling he continued; "Cid asked me to help you - his daughter. And if you're Cids daughter, then that's the same thing as Cid's girl, isn't it?"
"W-well yeah…" Rikku replied, surprised that he still was smiling. All the guys back home used to get really nervous when she yelled.
"But that doesn't mean I don't have a name!" she added and put her hand on her hips.
The boy, or Gippal as his name now was, looked at her and then he jumped down from the tree.
"So….shall we get going, Princess?" he grinned and bowed.
Rikku blushed and felt how she hated this boy, everything from his upstanding hair to his annoying smile. And what's that crap with princess all of sudden!
Gippal smiled again, turned around and started to walk away.
"H-hey!" Rikku ran up to him "Don't you wanna know my name?"
"Nope" he chuckled and looked at her with a teasing look.
"Fine then" Rikku snorted and looked away.
"But if you wanna tell me your name that badly…" he said with another chuckle.
"Oooh, will you shut up! I'll never tell you my name!" Rikku said. Not very polite to tell someone you just met 'shut up'…"But this is different! He's a total…meanie!"
But he just continued his chuckle and then he said that they should hurry up to the crusaders headquarter.
Rikku just snorted as answer.
The annoying authors note, again: Well…What should I say? Other than that I really, really hope that you guys stick around until chapter 5, because then the action will start! Promise:D
