{ [Can't Stand You- Chapter 1: Getting' Paired Up] }

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!"

shouted and enthusiastic Rikku.

"Cut it, will ya?" said an annoyed Paine, "It's really getting on my nerves."

"Sorry sooorry, but Yunie just won't wake up. What's taking her anyways!?" Rikku but her hands on her hips as she talked.

Paine sighed. "There's an easier way than that." she replied in her usual lowish monotone voice. Then she walked to the elevator and went up to the Cabin [. A/N: By the way, did I mention they were in the Celsius? Probably not. .]. Rikku followed behind, wondering what she would do. They walked up the stairs and (with Paine totally ignoring the Barkeep as he said "Hi Mish Paine, wat can I dooo fuor youu?") stood by Yuna's bed. She motioned Rikku to come forward. "Now do your screaming" Paine whispered as she too, covered her ears. Rikku took a deep breath and with all her might she screamed out:

"Yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuunnniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeee!!"

Yuna's eyes immediately snapped open and sat up straightly on the bed, and shouted things like "Oh my god! What's happening?" Paine leaned over to a happy Rikku standing there very proud of herself and said "Told ya that would do the trick."

"So Yuna, did you forget we had to have a meeting at 10:30 AM?" said Paine.

"Yeah, Yunie, it's now…"she trailed off and looked around for a clock. "…exactly 11:30 (AM)! That means you're one hour late." Rikku finished emphasizing the word 'one'.

"Oh yeah…sorry guys…"said an embarrassed Yuna.

"Well now that you're awake, let's get going," said Paine, and started walking down the stairs and out the door. "Wait up!" said Rikku and hurriedly skipped to Paine. Yuna sighed deeply and followed them up the elevator, and to the Bridge.


"Okay, the YRP meeting is officially starting." Said Paine.

"Oh, come on Paine, you can drop the formalities." Said both Yuna and Rikku.

"Well, anyways, I'm going to Besaid Island to see Tidus. Is that okay?" asked Yuna nervously. It had been a while since Yuna, Rikku, and Paine defeated Vegnagun, and Yuna was eager to go back to Tidus, since the first place Tidus wanted to go was Besaid, Yuna promised Tidus she would come to Besaid after she talked it over with her friends.

Rikku grinned. "You betcha that's okay! So Paine, where are YOU going?"

"Bevelle." She said in a bored tone. Yuna and Rikku both started giggling. "To see your Baralai Raralai?" she said mischievously, copying Leblanc's way of saying how she said her 'Nooj's' name. "So how's the relation with him? I bet you guys are reaaal close." Said Yuna in the same tone as Rikku. Paine glared at both of them while turning a bit red. "I though better of you, Yuna. 10 respect points of both of you." She said seriously. Yuna and Rikku both burst into giggles of laughter. Then Rikku patted Paine on the back, and so did Yuna. "Oh, come on Paine, you know we were just joking…" said Rikku still laughing a bit. Then suddenly, Paine started smirking. "So RIKKU, how are you doing with your 'Gippal'?" Now it was Rikku's turn to turn red. "Well..um…nothing much…we don't really talk a lot. And ANYWAYS, who said I like Gippal?" Yuna and Paine both burst into hysterical laughter. "By the way Rikku, where are you goina go?" said Yuna after the laughing spasm. "Well, I thought about it last night and I'm going back to the Home." said Rikku. "We'll see each other exactly 3 months later at…"Yuna trailed off, thinking off where to meet. "How about Luca?" suggested Paine. "Great!!" said Rikku.

Suddenly, a voice cut in and said: "Annnd I'mm goima visssit Bikanniil Dessert!" said Brother, trying to talk in English but failed. "Probably wants to see Nhadala," Paine said to Yuna and Rikku.

"Well, where are we going to go first?" asked Buddy.

"Besaid!" said Yuna excitedly.

"Then Bevelle." Said Paine dully.

"Thhheeeen Bikanniil!" said Brother.

"And then the Home!" said Rikku jumping up and down.

"Alright! Full speed ahead at our first destination: Besaid Island!!!" said Buddy.


One by one, they left and said good-bye. (With Shrina [. A/N: Is that how you spell his name? .] reminding them to bring their comspheres)

Rikku was the only one left and it was minutes before they would arrive at the Home.

She was deep in though thinking about: Her friends and…Gippal.

))I can't believe the sphere hunting business is already over! I'll miss Yuna and Paine…((She sighed at the thought. ))I hope I don't see Gippal…he's always so mean to me! Though secretly, I DO have some feelings for him. I wish he would stop teasing me so… (( Part of her wanted to see him, though part of her don't. ))ARG!! This is soo frustrating! Just why does he have to be so good looking??!!((

Her thoughts were cut short when Buddy announced that they have reached Home.

"So Buddy," asked Rikku curiously, "Where are YOU gonna go?"

"I guess the Home too." Said Buddy simply.


Gippal's POV.

))Oh man! Where is that Cid! I need a helper and he's takin' foreveeer to find me one!(( Suddenly he spotted Rikku. What in the world was SHE doing here? Oh my god it really IS her. He sure haven't seen her for quite some time. He couldn't help feeling jealous as all the young men looked at her when she walked happily along with Buddy. Yes, he was jealous because he secretly had a crush on her since forever, but she never noticed him when they were small, so he decided to tease her all the time to just to get her attention, but now he just can't resist teasing her more (even though he had already gotten her attention). It was quite fun too, seeing her cute frustrated face. But now since they are older, Rikku would sometimes to hit him too. He must admit that she hits hard for a girl, but Rikku has always been strong (even though she's really skinny).

Then he noticed that she was wearing that skimpy Thief outfit which made her look hotter, with her happy go lucky face anyone would fall her. He sometimes wondered if she was too small for him, since she was 18 and he was 21. [. A/N: I know maybe that's not true but since this is MY story I get to do wuteva I want, yay! Lolz, … .]


Rikku skipped happily and walked towards her Pop's cabin. She suddenly realized Gippal was there too. Her heart skipped at beat, and then she calmed down and tried to ignore his presence.

"Well, if it isn't Cid's little girl!" said Gippal smirking.

"Arg!! Stop calling me that!" said Rikku in a frustrating tone as she stamped her foot on the ground. "Just to let you know, my name is RIKKU!!! I have a name unlike SOME PERSON. (obviously meaning Gippal) And I'm NOT a little girl."

"Uh..I think I'll go now…" said Buddy, and left.

Rikku's face fell as he left. Now she HAD to be left alone with this jerk.

"I see you've got no friends!" said Gippal laughing as he stared down at her. "You're really short, you know that?"

Rikku innocently looked up at Gippal and she turned red with anger. "Just because you're taller than he, doesn't mean you're better than me, LOSER!"

"Well, I really think you talk to me in a more respectful tone, 'cause I'm the leader here, sweets." Said Gippal cockily.

"Whatever!" then she punched Gippal's arm real hard and then said, "and don't call me 'sweets', you playboy!" and gave him another punch.

Just then, Cid came and saw Rikku. "Well, how have you been, my little girl?" he asked. Rikku smiled her brightest (making Gippal's heart skip a beat) and said, "Just fine!" Then Cid looked over at Gippal. "About your helper…" he trailed off, thinking. He knew Gippal liked Rikku, but he really didn't know if Rikku liked Gippal. ))Oh well, gettin' them together won't hurt nobody. (( Cid continued, "I have decided that Rikku should do it! She smart and all and can help you!"

"WHAAT!!!???" shouted both Gippal and Rikku.

"No way Pops! Gippal is a COMPLETE idiot, AND he's such a meanie!!!!" Rikku said.

"Hey whose the COMPLETE idiot?!" said Gippal angrily.

"Rikku you have to cooperate, and so do you, Gippal. Now off you go." Said Cid, smiling inside.

"ARGG!!" yelled Rikku and said, "Fine." Then stomped on Gippal's foot.

))Oh that's just great! I get to be with this btchy girl! I can't believe she called me a complete idiot AND stomped on my foot! Could the thought of just being around me make her feel so disgusted?((

Putting that situation aside, he walked to his cabin to get things prepared.
