The night was sparkling beautifully, like one of the Yevon Gods were smiling down happily on Luca. The air was fresh and clear, with so much of a slight breeze commenting the overall wonderful atmosphere.
On this particular night, Luca was filled up with lots of people, excited buzzings spreading throughout the whole place. All sorts of people—male, female, were dressed up in magnificent dresses, giving everyone a inside glow of contentment and perkiness.
Astonishing smells of delicious, and appetizing foods wafted through the lands, mixing with a slight smell of perfume and cologne, nevertheless, everyone was at their best and felt eminent to be there.
Inside the Famous Luca Stadium, tables with astounding pure white cloths were placed neatly on top. Beverages, cocktails with the freshness of fruits placed on each one, and every single kind of cuisine from each place of Spira were also attending on the softness of the cloths. It was quite crowded, but comprehensible for a large amount of people.
Sipping contently on a cup of cocktail, its red liquidy contents swirling around in its glassy prison, a particular blond-haired man, spiky at the back, pierced his gaze towards the host, his friend, and the well-respected leader of Yevon.
"This stuff is great!" Gippal smirked lightly, his jaded pools dwelling a sense of astonishment. He was obviously commenting on the drink held in his firm and rough hand, one that truly belonged to the Leader of The Machinas.
"Of course." The silver-haired man, who was Baralai, replied in response. "Expect the things here at the Party "great", or in other words, outstanding." Smiling his kind and gentile smile, a frown suddenly appeared on his soft features. "You…haven't seen Paine yet, have you, Gippal?"
At this question of his, Gippal rolled his eyes in a sort of amused manner, but also slightly loosening his velvety, black bowtie. "Nope, crazy for her now, are ya?" Slapping Baralai's back, in a tone rich with resounding laughter, he spoke up once more. "Better wipe that blush and sweat drop off your face before she comes, get what I mean?" he said, grinning full once more, so that his white teeth showed, sparkling slightly in the bright light. "Off to see the ladies now, adios, my friend." With that, he waved in one swift motion to a really crimson face man, before adding quietly in his thoughts, "And her too."
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
Issuing forth the contemplation of having—possibly—loosing two acquainted guy friends, one especially her…er…crush, she sweat dropped and twitched slightly. "Um…Yunie?" Rikku questioned, in her usually sweet tone. Yuna abruptly stopped walking, her long abundant sapphire dress ceasing its movement. "Yes?" Yuna answered in the same tone as she, except in a more happier pulse. Also and at the same time, Pained looked over at her speculatively, her amber flames glinting sprinkles of happiness.
Sighing long and forlornly, she threw her hands up in the air and shouted exasperatingly, "How come you two can wear nice long dresses and I get the skimpy outfit!" she whined, making a few rushing heads turn to stare at her and her ridiculous excuse for a dress.
"What's the joy of us wearing it when it could be you," Paine teased, smoothing the creases in her elegant, velvety charcoal black dress. She certainly wasn't used to herself wearing such dresses. Yuna grinned 'ever-so-innocently' in Paine's direction, her vitality twinkle glistening upon her pearl white teeth in the translucent lights of Luca. Shooting out a bare arm in the night air, Yuna replied triumphantly, "The bet must go on!" And exchanged secret glances at Paine before forth-continuing their walk.
Rikku's huge emerald poles grew even wider, and sighed once more in discontentment. So they somehow put a bet on her eh…
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
"Varity is the spice of life." Said Palo, who happened to be a very handsome man, and who was fairly dark skinned with the same jaded eyes as Gippal. One would think he be an Albhed, but the dark skinned colours gave it away. He had his tanned arms around two giggling, squeaky Guado girls, who had lovely ocean-colored chromaticity hair falling down their backs. Gippal smirked lightly at his comment and retorted back, before flashing the two girls an amazingly handsome smile, making them blush furiously and giggling even more. (At this, Gippal suddenly though that if he flashed an amazingly handsome smile like that to Rikku, she would just grin an enchanting smile back, whilst rolling her eyes.) "That, I will have to disagree strongly with you, Palo."
Palo rose a thin eyebrow at him, enthralled to see him before himself, but then breaking into a manly smile.
"Hey Gippal!" How's it hangin' eh?" Palo responded back, making his 'eh' sound like a Besaid man. Pausing deliberately for a few seconds, he suspired and shook his head in pure despair. "Yeah…you've got Rikku. NO wonder you're so arrogant!" he ended, before quickly continuing on tantalizing Gippal. "He-ey! Don't steal my chicks, if you get what I mean. "Winking at Gippal in a girlish manner, he nudged him on the sides of his well-fitted, black tux.
Looking horrified at what Palo just did, he stepped back as if someone just did something dreadful—which was indeed true. Striking an incredibly good-looking pose and winking back at him, his pale hand on his chin and got into his famous 'thinker' mode that most girls fell for.
"I am pretty irresistible, aren't I." The side of his lips curved up, smirking.
(The two girls now looked aghast at him as if they were going to faint)
His friend's glassy-green eyes looked at him in pure admiration, and sputtered out, "You're gotta teach me that!"
Now here is the part were one wanders off deep into the ivy, tangily woods of desires and dreams, the daylight sunbeams bathing down magnificent at you, falling in contents of showers and happiness…er…I simply mean: "Day-dreams"; Imagining himself, Gippal, on a high fiery throne with sparkly jewels glowing deeply, and his hand out at the man infront of him with 'compassion' and 'sympathy'.
…Snapping their selves back to reality , they chuckled slightly in unison at their own silly daydream, through little did they know their thoughts were the exact duplicate of each.
At that moment, the gates of the stadium flung open some more, large amounts of finely dressed people stampeding in. Amongst the crowd of sparkling gems, he could spot Yuna and Paine squishing their selves out of the crowd, and Paine giving fearsome glares to anyone who dared shove her aside.
Glancing back at Palo, he was about the pardon himself when Palo cut him short. "Let's have a bet." Was his simple statement, though Gippal knew there must be more to it that that. Taken aback for a second, he replied, "Um…sure." Leaning over to Gippal, he whispered quietly in his ear, "I want to see your astonishing skills by winning that beautiful girl's heart over there." Pointing at a slightly confused female, who was shifting uncomfortably at the presence of a bunch of males hovering over her blondish-blackish curls, he couldn't help by think of Rikku, so he nodded confidently and began to approach the emerald-eyed girl.
o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o.o
((I
have considered ending it here but…I think you reviewers deserve
just a little bit longer chapter after my 5 months
procrastination…lol hehe))
After Paine and Yuna had both shoved her lightly into the bustling crowd, and placing on her feathery exquisite black mask, she noticed that a lot of men had begun to eye her lustfully---from afar and up close. This sickened her perceptibly, so as she now got surrounded by quite a few males, she shifted her weight from side to side uncomfortably.
As soon as she began to have petty talks with the finely dressed young men throughout her won crowd, she could notice one particular man with a trial of tail leading 'trouble", or in other words, Renzo. Adverting her gaze somewhere else, she politely excuse herself, ignoring the obvious disappointed looks painted on all the men's faces, and quietly slipped past a couple, her feet quickening its pace along the polished stone floor…and banged against a stiff and broad shoulder.
"Watch
where you're going…" came a husky, man's voice reverberating
with an unknown warmth.
"Owwie…" cried Rikku, as she
pouted cutely, rubbing her currently sore arm and then looking
intensely up at the man's deep eyes…with a gasp, they were
directly staring at hers too……
Emerald vs. Emerald.
((To be continued.))
