Introduction:
The game ends with Vegnagun being defeated and Spira is going through yet another phase of Eternal Calm. In my story, Yuna is happily living with Tidus back in Besaid while Paine is once again with Nooj, who's conjuring up a unity with New Yevon's leader, Baralai. Rikku returns to her Al Bhed people, helping them rebuild Home. Which is where my story begins...
"Oui! Pnehk dryd ujan drana!" (You! Bring that over there!) Barked Cid who was over watching the reconstruction of Home from a high platform towering over all the workers. Loud noises of Machina running and metal banging filled the atmosphere as Rikku walked up to her father in her usual yellow bikini with her blonde hair dangling from her headband. She was anxiously wanting to ask her father something. Tapping her father on the shoulder multiple times had caught Cid's attention, so then he stiffly turned around to see what his little princess wanted.
"Pop! Is there anything I can do? E fyhhy ramb!" (I wanna help!) She smiled big and jumped in place, hoping he'd give her something really fun to do.
"Uh...Of course my Machina Specialist! But it seems that Brother's too busy with the Celcius, eh? Maybe Gippal needs some help." He said quickly before turning back to overlook his workers and bark out another command, obviously getting frustrated.
"Fryyddd?!?" Rikku didn't really like the thought of having Gippal commanding her around; she was just as good with Machina as he was, and she didn't want to nor have to be under his will. She tugged on Cid's arm to get a different assignment, but he was too occupied to pay attention. He apologized in Al Bhed and told her if she really wanted to help out, going to Gippal was the only way. Cid was much too busy to think of something for his daughter to do. Gippal was second in command and the smartest when it came to building things with Machina.
Rikku sighed and went to kneel on the railing then pouted. While she was pouting, she spotted Gippal standing proud and firmly about the workers, also watching over them as her father did. She stood up straight and gazed at him, thinking secondly over the fact that it wouldn't be half- bad working for him. After all, it did look like he was in control. For a second, she even found it attractive, seeing him being so boss-like. Suddenly, her thought-filled trance was broken when she saw Gippal turn and look straight at her; he had noticed her staring at him.
'Eek!' Thought Rikku, as she stumbled backwards a little bit. Gippal narrowed his eye at her for a brief moment either out of curiosity or annoyance, before he turned his back on her and concentrated on the workers. It was always hard to tell what Gippal was really thinking.
"Hoi..." Said Rikku softly, scratching her head. "This is gonna be tough." She then quickly ran down the tower and towards Gippal. When she approached Gippal, she couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement take over. It always happened whenever she was around him; the sense never failed to appear everytime he was near, but it was also common for him to make a rude remark and have the feeling disappear. Being the usual Rikku, she slyly moved towards him and called out Gippal's name in a sing-song voice. She waited, but saw no movement from Gippal, who's back was still faced her way. Rikku thought he must've not heard her, so she repeated his name louder, and not so song-like this time. Nothing from Gippal. Frustration and annoyance started to rise as she stomped her foot and yelled out his name again. 'He had to hear that!' She thought with still no reply from Gippal whatsoever. Being the last straw, she stomped angrily towards him and started to softly pound on his strong muscular back.
"Gippal! Oui tayv pis! Why are you ignoring me?!" Within saying that, he quickly grabbed one of Rikku's pounding fists and turned around to face her. The sudden hold surprised Rikku, but she wasn't done yet. Rikku was still pounding away with her open arm, missing every shot, though.
"Cdub ed, oui lnywo kenm." (Stop it, you crazy girl.) He told her, yet didn't seem so serious about it. Rikku froze her arm in mid-air, then decided to drop it and loosened up. She looked at Gippal, expecting him to be angry with her, but his face was grim. His eyes seemed to sparkle with a hint of pleasure. Rikku gave him a small embarrassed smirk and stepped back, but her arm was still clung on tightly by Gippal's strong hold.
"I'm not crazy. You wouldn't answer me! Didn't you hear me calling your name?" She asked, going back in her serious mode. Yet, she knew she wasn't mad over it anymore, so it was hard trying to act angry.
"Of course I did." Gippal let go of her arm and folded his arms across his chest. Rikku's mouth dropped in shock. "I bet your father even heard you, your screams were that loud."
"Then why didn't you answer me?" Rikku asked out of curiosity.
"Why should I have to answer back to someone not worth my time?" He said in a teasing voice, "I know what you want; I saw you talking with your papa, Cid. I don't see what a little girl like you can do but go hunting for glowing balls."
"I can help!" She said, smiling largely at him. "Come on, please?"
Gippal grinned at her and then gave in. "If you insist."
"Yah!" Rikku squealed. "I'll show you what I can do. Frana tu E cdynd?" (Where do I start?)
"Po kaddehk sa y kmycc uv fydan. (By getting me a glass of water.) I've been thirsty for a while." Remarked Gippal as he gave out a small chuckle.
"Hu fyo!" (No way!) Said Rikku.
