Gippal and Cid…
!Knock knock!
"Come in," said a gruffy voice. Gippal opened the door, went in, then closed it shut.
"Uh..you wanted to talk to me about something?" asked Gippal curiously. "Yes, of course. That was the reason why I called you up here. Ced (Sit in English)." said Cid, gesturing to a straw-made chair in front of him. Gippal reluctantly obeyed. "So," began Cid, "Why haven't you arrived in Djose yet? I thought you were going there today." Gippal looked at Cid, rubbed his nose, and was nervously going to say that something came up (defending Rikku, incase Cid decided that Rikku shouldn't be his helper anymore). Unexpectedly, Cid slapped his back and said, "So glad you haven't gone, I really need you here. Well since I'm gonna be busy fer a couple of weeks, workin' on a machina project, I was thinking if you could cover up fer me. All you haveta do is show someone around. He's coming back to help us fer a little while. Name's Renzo [. A/N: Used ta name from my other fanfic :P… .]. Remember him?"
Gippal gritted his teeth at that name. Renzo had been his rival since forever, and Gippal totally despised him. He must admit, Renzo was pretty smart with machinas, almost as good as him, but he was BETTER. They've always been competing since they were children, and he must also admit, he was as good with the ladies as he (Gippal) was, but obviously, he was no match compared to him. After a moment of silence, Gippal spoke up. "Yes, of course I remember him! Don't worry Cid, I'll take care of it."
"Great! See you in couple of weeks."
"Uh-huh." was all Gippal said and left the cabin.
He went out, and saw Rikku rush forward to him, asking a bunch of question like: 'How did it go?', or 'What did my Pop say?'."
"Whoa! Calm down!" said Gippal, and then smirked. "Well, little Rikku, I don't think you need to know. It really adult business." Rikku, being the curious girl that she was, completely ignored the insult and lept urging him.
"Oh fine, I give up! I'll tell you." Said Gippal in a exasperated tone.
Rikku immediately brightened up.
"BUT. Go get me that stack of papers in my cabin saying: "Rules of Behavior" first. Then I'll tell you. See ya the engine room!" and with that, he left.
"Aww Gip-pal! FINE." Said Rikku glumly, then hurried to Gippal's cabin, and then rushed down to the Engine Room (knocking over several people), but went too fast and bumped right into Gipal, falling down right on her bum (Rikku, not Gippal. He's barely affected by this).
"Owwie…" Rikku said, as she rubbed her bum (not THAT obviously).
"You clumsy oaf" said Gippal, and bent down to see if she was okay.
"You okay?" he asked. Now their face was about 1.5 cm apart. Gippal looked into her swirly green Al Bed eyes and leaned 1.5 cm closer, and kissed her fully on the lips; closing his eye as he did so. Rikku's eyes widened in surprise, and her mind told her to Pull away!, but her body wouldn't let her. She then closed her eyes too, warped her arms around his neck, and went into a deeper kiss. Gippal then slid his hands up her thigh and slowing reaching her waist. Then after about 5 minutes later, they both broke away gasping for air.
####
Gippal was really surprised that she hadn't pushed him away and called him a perv. He so thought she would do that, but decided to take his chances with her anyways. Also, he really liked kissing Rikku (though this was their first kiss together). His kiss with her was the best compared to the kisses he had had with other women. It tasted like…chocolate covered strawberries. Yes, that was it! ))Such a sweet kiss… (( he thought and sighed happily.
####
O.M.G. Rikku could NOT believe she just kissed him. I mean, Gippal. The #1 teaser in the whole wide world. She was so nervous; she really didn't know what to do. And anyways, when they were kissing, she actually felt like he had some feelings for her too. But… )) I really don't know that for sure(( she thought miserably. ((Maybe he's just playing around like always…((
####
"Uh…um…"they both started nervously, and then both of them grinned.
"Well, here's your stack of papers, now for YOUR side of the bargain!..." said Rikku in a serious tone.
"Okay, okay, chill." Said Gippal, and told her everything from the point he entered the cabin (not including how he was thinking of defending her), to the point that he left (purposely leaving out how Renzo was pretty smart too).
"Ooo…! I get. So wadda these papers for?" asked Rikku.
"YOU," he answered simply.
"M..me?" she said nervously. "Why?"
"'Cause you need to learn some manners, that's why."
"Noo waaaay! Come on!"
Then Gippal just started reading, completely ignoring her last comment. Rikku listened boredly, and stared at the ground. Suddenly, she snapped up, covered her ears and said, "No no no! I need a break!!!" and rushed away. "RIKKUUU!" Gippal called, "Come back! We haven't finished yet!" He rolled his eyes, sighed, and tried to catch up with Rikku.
Rikku's POV
Argg! Can't he just shut up for once? It was getting on my nerves and boy, was I stressed out! I could hear Gippal calling my name behind me, so I quickly ran to my room (/cabin), and slammed the door in front of Gippal's face. I could hear Gippal banging on the door. Then I realized that I hadn't even locked the door! I giggled silently and thought ))Man, how dumb IS he?((. I quickly yelled, "Don't you even THINK about opening this door, or else I'll --- chop you to pieces! Yeah!" More talking and banging. Gosh, doesn't he even know HOW to quit? That's when I spotted the 'PortSphere', and decided this was just what I needed. I'll go to Mount. Gagazat ruins and go to the Hot Springs and relax!
So I took the remote control [.A/N: I just made this up right on the spot, or else without this, the story will be screwed. .], instead of talking the PortSphere. I was soo glad Shinra made something THIS convenient. I pressed a few buttons on the Sphere and put both hands on the dents that glowed, obviously made to put your hands there.
Gippal's POV.
I was still banging on the door, when heard no response from Rikku anymore. I stopped. "Rikku?" I asked softly. No response. I then tried to open the door and found it…UNLOCKED??!!!???? I hit my palm on my head and shook my head for being so cdibet (stupid).
When I entered the room, no one was in there at all. I checked under the bed, the closest (finding cute, skimpy outfits), and was about to give up when from the corner of my eye, I saw something glowing under the bedcovers. The 'Portsphere'! It said: Mount Gagazat, Ruins. Under that something with small letters also showed, but I didn't bother. [. A/N: Ay ya, you should've! .] I just put my hands on the PortSphere, and pressed the button: teleport.
When Gippal arrived, he saw nothing but rocks, rocks, and rocks. He heard some splashing of water nearby, and rushed to the sound (He had not idea which part of the 'ruins' he was in). Except he tripped over a rock, and
!SPLASH!
He fell into the water, also noticing that Rikku was there too, naked.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" screamed Rikku.

Words from Moi: End for now! In this chapter I decided to use some Al Bhed, since they were Al Bhed people. In the next chappie, there will be some Al Bhed swearing... (Hope I'm not setting a bad example 4 u kiddies out there…jokes) See how I underlined the word 'some'?
Well, bye for now!
Rikku-x-Gippal
