Chapter 1 To Say Thanks

If there is one thing to say about Spira, it's that I'm the hottest guy in all of it. All the old women think so…ok, ok. My name is Gippal; I'm eighteen years old and am the leader of the machine faction here at Djose. It sure sounds weird to call myself hot, and knowing I am hot when I'm a guy.

I'm my own girlfriend.

At times like this when I'm bored sitting outside on a rock, watching people staring at me on this roaring thunderous day, what am I to do? Give orders? Order dinner, or is it lunchtime? Or order myself to bed? Guess it's to early for that. Maybe, I should go to the storage where nobody goes, get all the chocolate I want and eat it. Haha! No, I couldn't do that, because I'll fall asleep, and maybe end up in a, a, a coma it'll be the end of everything. Because, you never know if chocolate can be poisoned and same for the storage. Sounds confusing, eh? Yup, on a day like this with nothing to do, again, what am I to do? Okay, I guess I'll go use the bathroom, adore my face, and then go walking to places I've been before! Doesn't that sound adventurous?! Well, I'll get going. Thus, I started to walk on the pathway towards places I've been before!

"Cen, kuehk cusafrane? Sir, going somewhere?" One of the men asked me and I nodded.

"Oac, damm dra udranc. E fuhd pa kuha vun duu muhk. Yes, tell the others. I won't be gone for too long."

So off I was, out to have some fun. Ok, not much to do, because uh, I already seen all of this and---

"So, what's Machine Faction guy doing here when he's supposed be at the temple doing his job?" Oh, it's Lady Yuna, the high summoner.

"Well, what's Lady Yuna, the high summoner and the one who destroyed Vegnegun of all good and will, doing here on a thunderous day here at Djose?" Good comeback, and oh Tidus was with her, "Hello Tidus. It's been a while."

"Hey! I know, but you know I've been busy with my girl and all." Oh, ok I guess. Well, Yuna, what's your answer?

"Gippal, I'm here today because we all wanted to see you. And considering you are not busy…."

Ok, all of you, but there's just Tidus and you. Ok, my mouth opened and I had to ask what's all wanted to see you?

"Yuna, what do you mean by 'because we all wanted to see you'?" They both looked at each other and squinted eyes for about a minute and turned their heads back toward my charming face.

"Oh! Rikku and Paine came along also." Yuna exclaimed, looking back and Paine was walking followed by Rikku who seemed to bother Paine. Hmm, Rikku being a pain in the butt, we'll see about that.

"Well, if it isn't Cid's girl causing a major dilemma?"

"Ooh, Gippal. Call me by my real name for a change!" Rikku pouted but Paine laughed it off and shook her head.

"Gippal, you go on with the teasing. I think Rikku likes being teased as she teases everyone else in her natural way." Yuna giggled along with Tidus. I just looked at Rikku's blank expression and she looked like as if she didn't get the pain. She looked like she had pain.

"Uh, Cid's girl, would you mind telling me what brings you to Djose today?"

"Uh, I wanted to see what was going on around here. You know, I missed the Djose and I missed its roaring thunders and it's people. And the Al Bhed." Ok, she was just saying that to get her knocked out of the question and change the subject somehow.

"Riiiiiight." I said and I continued and walked down and turned around, "I bid you adieu as I must go now and make my day happy."

"Gippal, we came here to see you!" Rikku shouted and I turned around again hearing those words out of her mouth made me actually wonder the truth.

"Okay, did you guys come here to see me, or my butt?" I asked and they all just looked at me like I was a lunatic or something.

"Uh, Gippal, we came here to see you and how things were going so please don't turn your back on us." Yuna said and Paine nodded.

"You helped us with Vegnegun and we want to say thanks."

"Okay, lets go back to the temple and settle this on chairs." I said and we walked towards the temple and the same guy that came up to me earlier came up to me again.

"Pylg cu cuuh? Back so soon?"

I replied a yes, "Oac. Okay, this way people." I opened the door and let everyone in and led them down to the left side of the temple.

Upon entering, I pulled out chairs for everyone to sit on and we all sat down.

"Ok, Gippal. We came here to see you and say all our thanks." Paine said and Yuna looked at me and smiled.

"Thank you. With out all of us working together, Tidus wouldn't be here and it would be a total mess up. You know."

Rikku covered her face, and then looked at me and Yuna and Paine.

She groaned, "Oh, do I have to?"

"Rikku," Paine grunted, "how many times do we have to go through this."

Tidus laughed and I had no idea what of what was going on.

"Well, Rikku wants to say something. Now what is it that you want to say Rikku?" Yuna asked and Rikku stood up. I could see a hint of pink in her cheeks. Oh, this gets interesting.

"Say it cheery!" Tidus joked and then again, I had no idea of what was going on. What the heck?

Rikku laughed it off and then jumped up in the air, "THANK YOU GIPPAL!"

Ok, that was scary and my day got better and I fell off my chair laughing and I needed to breath somehow. The adorable goofy face she made had filled my day up to a hundred percent of laughing goodness and I felt good being alive. All my life, have I not once laughed like what I laughed today. Not even in front of my family.
