))Okay. What in Ixion's name is Rikku taking so long? She was supposed to be here 23 minutes ago! Now since the airship left, I have to reschedule my arrival to Djose Temple.(( Gippal though as he paced back and forth. Buddy had promised Gippal (and Rikku) that they could board his airship, since there was also some other people going to other places too. Now he HAD to wait until tomorrow to get to Djose. Boy was SHE in for it.

"Damn her" he kept on muttering under his breath.

Then he saw a saw a skinny form with long blonde hair walk happily towards him, holding some kind of oval shaped thing. As she drew closer, he immediately recognized her.

"Rikku!!!" he yelled at his angriest tone, "Where in the WORLD have you been???!!! You know that I TOLD ZACK [.A/N: Made it up, not significant .] TO TELL YOU! YOU'RE IN DEEP SHIT WITH ME GIRL! JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE CID'S LITTLE GIRL, IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU COULD JUST DITCH ME LIKE THIS ---"

"Yes, but…"

"NO BUTS! YOU'RE A HORRIBLE HELPER! WILL YOU JUST GET A LIFE AND ---" he stopped. Rikku's lower lip was trembling, and tears burst out like a water fall. Then she crouched down, hugging her knees. [.A/N: Aww…poor Rikku! She's such a baby though….] Gippal's features softened at the instant she started crying. Gippal felt alsolutly horrible for making her cry. He shouldn't have been so hard on her… He crouched down too, and put his arms around her shoulders.

"Look…" he was about to say: 'Rikku', but he rarely called her that. But since this was a serious situation…

"Look Rikku. I'm really sorry I yelled at you that badly. Truly." He said comfortingly. "I guess my anger got way out of hand…" He ran his fingers through his blonde hair and sighed.


Rikku's POV

She had just got back from Shrina, and she had in her hands a PortSphere [.A/N: …I mad tat up… :P .], one of a kind. It can make you teleport anywhere you want in Spira. Is that cool or what? She found Shrina working on it, and decided to wait until he [.A/N: he? .] was finished. It took real long, but it was definitely worth it. Yes, she was informed that she had to meet Gippal to got to Djose Temple, but they can get to Djose this way too! And it takes shorter time, so what's a few 23 minutes?

She was going to tell Gippal the good new and tease him that she had better ideas than him. What she hadn't expected, was for him to yell his head off at her. To tell the truth, that was to first time someone had ever yelled that long and hard at her before, so she really couldn't help crying. (Her Pop just yells at her bout one or two things…) And anyways, she hated crying in front of Gippal, 'cause he would probably tease her say 'She was being a cry baby'. So she was also really surprised when he put his arms on her shoulder and actually called her her REAL name (he always says 'Cid's little girl', etc.).


Gippal sighed. "Oh, come on. Fine. You can hit me all you want and call me an ass."

Rikku look up at Gippal's face, her eyes red from crying and had on a glum face. Suddenly she grinned and got up (pulling him p too). She quickly wiped her tears away and said, "So I can hit all I want, eh?" Gippal groaned at the thought and wished he never had said that. But Rikku didn't wait for a answer, she just started hitting him real hard and said, "You meanie!" She ended hitting him with a elbow in the stomach.

All of a sudden, her expression changed from a hyper active hitter a face full of worry.

"Oh my gosh! Gippy are you alright" she said with a tone dripping of sarcasm. "Aww, you poor thing you had me all worried!" she patted him on the back.

"Well, dearest, you really shouldn't be worrying your little mind over that," he said in the same tone as hers and said cockily, "I mean; you should leave all the thinking to someone more mature. For example, me." He could've sworn he heard a snort from Rikku. "So honeybunch, got a headache yet?"

Rikku really felt like she was about to scream and tell him to shut his dirty mouth. She bunched her eyebrows together and tried to not let Gippal get the best of her. Gippal could see that she was about to scream too, and was glad to see her mad face. Suddenly she changed her expression again, and smiled innocently and said, "Nope. But wait 'till you see this invention Shrina made!" She then flashed him another innocent and cute smile. Gippal just stared at her face ))Damn she's cute! I could look at her forever (( was what Gippal was thinking. Rikku's smile faded into true worry when he gave her no reply. She snapped her fingers in from of his face and said, "Earth to Gippppaaal…" Gippal blushed and his checks turned into various shades of red. "Um…uh…nothing! So, what were you talking about again?" Rikku narrowed her eyes than popped back to her normal innocent self. ))What an actress!(( was what Gippal was thinking when she AGAIN switched into a different person. She then explained about the 'PortSphere'. Gippal listened intently as she talked [.A/N: Wow! Hard 2 believe! .]. After she finished, a man came up to Gippal and said that Cid wanted to see him. Gippal shrugged his shoulders and said, "Sure thing."

"Bye!" yelled Rikku, "Good luck!" she said waving her hand.

Gippal just turned around smiled and put up his hand.

Rikku just looked at them until they were out of sight. Then she jumped up and down with her fists in her hands and said enthusiastically, "He's so cool! He's the coolest!" (Meaning the hand thing) and skipped cheerfully back to wait for Gippal to come out.
