Believe it or Not- Chapter 3: The Cameron Diaz Thing

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

For a moment, they just stared at each other.

"Y-you…you…" he couldn't even say it.

She titled her head a bit.

"You're in my room!"

"Uh-huh."

"No---but-" Gippal sank down in a chair. He was panting pretty hard, due to racing around the mansion. "It's just---WHY didn't you tell me you were in my room?" he asked, desperately trying to talk while controlling himself.

Rikku's green eyes widened in confusion. "You were sleeping, Gippal, and I didn't want to wake you up."

Gippal groaned. "Just HOW did you get up here?"

"The tree extends towards your room," Rikku explained patiently. "I climbed in through the window. It was really hard, actually. I almost fell." 'Yea right....' she thought silently to herself, as she continued on her "innocent" act.

Gippal felt like pounding his head on the wall. "All this time, you were-just-IN MY ROOM??!"

"Yeah."

"You---URG! You could have told me!"

Rikku blinked. "Well, you were sleeping." She paused and gazed at his soaking wet shirt, which was clearly transparent. "How come you're wet?"

"I can't believe this---" Gippal threw his hands up in the air. "I was worried to death; I even called 911 and searched around the whole freaking mansion—even the pool house and backyard---and that stupid, idiot tree---ARGG…"

Rikku bit her lips. "Wow…"

"Yeah, and I'm wet and cold and I'll get sick and it'll be your entire fault," Gippal turned and stomped over to the bathroom, without another look at that green-eyed girl.

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

When Gippal left the bathroom, showered, changed and refreshed, he noticed the kitchen light downstairs was turned on.

'Now what is that brat up to?'

"Please don't tell me you're cooking a tree" he said, entering the kitchen and propping his arm onto the counter.

Rikku turned around grinning cutely. There was a dot of pink icing on her face. "I'm making cake!"

"That or another atomic bomb."

"Oh come on, Gippal. It's not that bad."

"From where I'm standing---"

"You should try it. Really!"

Gippal jerked back. "Suddenly, I'm not hungry anymore." He opened the fridge. "Nothing here---seriously, what does Wei cook with?" he mumbled to himself. Then he took a secret glance at the cake Rikku was making…whow…'THAT LOOKS SOOO GOOD!!!' Then he realized what was going through his head and thought 'You could get somebody to make that for you anytime…calm down Gippal.' He blushed at little.

"Why don't you check the cabinets?" Rikku asked, her eyes never leaving her strawberry cake. Fortunately, she didn't notice Gippal blushing.

There wasn't that much as Gippal looked through the cabinets. Just some weird-looking china and…

"What's this?" Gippal said, pulling out a very pretty glass jug filled with purplish liquid.

Rikku looked up. "I don't know…raspberry cordial, you think?"

Gippal poured himself a glass. "Better than cake." He lied.

Something heavenly washed over him as he gulped down the liquid. It was so good, so cool and soothing; it felt like he swallowed happiness itself.

"Whoa…" he exclaimed. "Okay, I know what this is." He immediately put down the drink. It was the strongest wine he had EVER tasted in his life --- which was a lot, by the way. Another sip could possibly make him drunk or something.

"What is it?" Rikku asked absentmindedly.

"Never mind," he picked up the jug and placed the jug in a discrete place. Better not have Rikku drink that stuff.

Rikku let out a little pout, whilst studying her cake. "Do you think it's a bit lopsided?"

"Definitely," Gippal replied, not even trying to be nice.

He walked out of the kitchen, into the living room, propped onto the couch and started to watch a Knicks basketball game. Before he knew it, his eyelids were getting heavy and he dozed off.

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

"Gippal!!!"

Aw man. What is it AGAIN? Can anybody in this screwed-up world get a rest?!

He yawned and stretched out on the sofa, not quite wanting to open his eyes.

A wave of aroma---the smell of rum, perhaps, washed over his nose. He felt soft, sun-kissed strands of blonde hair on his face. A pair of arms were wrapped around him in a tight hug…

'What the hell?'

He flung himself out of the sofa and rubbed his eyes. Rikku collapsed with him on the floor, giggling.

She seemed more excited and wild then last saw her. In her hand was a glass cup. "It really IS good…I've never had anything this good."

Gippal frowned. "Where did you get that?

Her cheeks were flushed as she took another sip. "You know, I'm very fond of purple," she held up her glass. "It was Curtis' favorite co-color…"

Rikku seemed to be lost in her words. She took a huge gulp out of her crystal glass. "Very good drink…oh Gippal, what IS it?"

'What do you think it is?' he thought to himself irritably. Then stopped. 'Wait. Who's this Curtis she was just talking about before!?' A suddenly feeling of jealously swept over him when he realized was situation he was in, he made a mental note to ask her later.

"Oh God," he grabbed the glass away from her hand and led her to the kitchen, and spotted the jug, which was almost empty.

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

Beep…Beep…

"Come on, Yuna, pick up the phone…"

Beep…Beep…

"Shit…I am so screwed."

"Yuna's not here! I'm are not available at this moment. You may leave a message or transfer your call to a pager."

'Nooo!' he thought as he became extremely worried.

"Oh dammit. This stupid message recorder." He hung up the phone.

Rikku was lying limply on the sofa, her eyes staring up at the ceiling.

There was something about her expression that made a tiny pinch in Gippal's heart.

"You okay?" he asked. He kept his voice low, to keep it from trembling.

She didn't reply. She didn't even seem to hear him. Her eyes were gazing dead at the ceiling.

Fear rained on him. He came closer and touched her shoulder. "Hey Rikku."

She didn't respond.

'No…Oh no…This CANNOT be happening.'

Was this what they call---alcohol poisoning? He remembered reading an article about how Cameron Diaz had it when she was modeling in Japan. Gosh, could that be happening to Rikku?

What the fuck was alcohol poisoning anyway? If he wasn't such a spoiled guy, he would've actually paid attention in Health class. But he is, so he didn't'.

And now…Rikku's just Ms. Zombie.

Yuna wasn't available. Neither was Tidus. He didn't even bother trying to call Lulu or Wakka, they were probably too busy going on endless dates with each other. The 911 line didn't take him seriously. The Poison Center line was busy. His family doctor was on vacation. There was a goddamn storm outside.

He had other friends, and would have called them. But they weren't trustworthy enough, being huge gossipers. He didn't want to ruin Rikku's good image---or whatever image she has---and turn her into a rum addict.

What was he going to do?!

"Selina!" Gippal jolted, grabbing for the phone. Why couldn't he have thought of it before?! She was his stinking, slutty childhood friend, of course she'd help! She's probably friends with Rikku, anyways---or so he thought.

Gippal knew how much Selina adored him, and here was the perfect time to take advantage.

"Who the f is this?" a hoarse voice asked.

"Selina, I need your help."

Her voice immediately melted into sappily sweet tone, "Gippal! Oh my, what's wrong?"

"It's Rikku."

There was an unusual cold silence that filled.

"What about her?" Selina's voice was sharp, and a bit harsh, but still coated with sweetness for her 'darling' Gippal.

"She's…she's drunk. And she's, well, not doing anything. I think she has alcohol poisoning or something…I tried calling everyone and they all can't---could you please help her?"

There was something about Gippal's voice…perhaps the trembling that made Selina's heart sink. He sounded scared, worried, and afraid.

But why, Gippal asked himself, was he so worried?

So what if that Rikku got poisoned.

Why should he care for her?

He didn't care for anybody.

"She's probably fine," Selina said uncaringly. "Maybe she's sleeping."

Gippal sighed. She probably wasn't going to help her---unless he did something, or say something drastic that Selina would want to hear.

"Sugar plum, you can't sleep with your eyes open."

Selina flushed. He hadn't called her "sugar plum" since---forever. It was a nickname she got from a time when they were little and…well, that a different story.

It was so sweet, the way he said it.

But still…

There was a certain urge that mixed with the sweetness and Selina couldn't help but wonder if he was just calling her that just to use her.

"Fine, I'll help," Selina said, her mind wandering off to the possibility that he might like her. "I'll bring my family doctor."

There was an obvious relief in Gippal's sigh. "Thanks, Selina, you're a lifesaver."

Selina?

What happened to sugar plum?

If that bitch Rikku is making him change his feelings towards her---Selina was soo going to screw her up.

In fact, this situation sounded like the perfect plan.

It's not everyday that you can catch the new girl with alcohol poisoning.

Selina was so on full bitch alert.

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