Perfect Day

"We've found a kind of paradise in each others arms"

Rikku softly smiled as she prepared the picnic basket for today. It was a Sunday morning and that meant that today the temple was closed. Ever since the confession, Gippal asked Rikku to move in with him to Djose Temple, and without a doubt, she excitedly agreed. From that day on the Al Bheds came to an agreement that weekends were suppose to be a day off, giving Gippal his time to rest, where he could finally give his job as a leader a break.

Since then, Rikku couldn't resist in turning Sundays into a little surprise event, in which every Sunday she would plan something different for Gippal and herself to do together. Today was no exception, that was why Rikku was blissfully preparing a picnic basket for them this afternoon, where they would have a special lunch by the sea.

Checking the food and making sure that nothing was missing, Rikku finally closed the basket and quickly headed out of the kitchen toward their bedroom. She softly opened up the door and peeked inside, where in the center of the room she found the double bed in which they both shared, empty. Rikku smiled. Gippal knew that every Sunday morning he had to wake up early in order for them to do the events. He didn't mind at all, in fact he loved spending time alone with his girl.

"Sundays are our special days Cid's girl." Gippal once told her. "In fact Sundays should be renamed after us, don't you think?"

Closing the door once again, Rikku headed back toward the kitchen where she grabbed the picnic basket and headed toward the exit. There she unlocked the temple's door and opened it up widely, where her gaze went up toward the sky. To her shock she found gray clouds forming and blocking the bright sun. Suddenly thunder struck and raindrops began to pour down from the dark sky.

"No, not today!" Rikku protested in dismay, realizing that their picnic day was ruined.

Disappointed, Rikku leaned against the door and saw the rain getting heavier, as she gripped the picnic basket with her both hands. So much work for nothing. She wanted today to be special. Rikku had evenmade an effort towake up extra early in order to prepare every single food in which she knew Gippal loved. This was so unfair! Why couldn't today be like every other Sunday they had shared before? Lovely and perfect.

"Why the sad face Cid's girl?" Asked Gippal as he appeared next to her side.

Rikku gazed away from the rain to look toward Gippal's charming face. She sadly smiled. "I guess we won't be having our picnic today."

"Why not, beautiful?" Gippal questioned, as he softly pulled Rikku into his warm arms and embraced her.

Rikku smiled, he always made her feel so comfortable and safe. Leaning against his warm chest, Rikku settled the picnic basket onto the floor and brought her fingers to intertwine with Gippal's fingers, which rested upon her stomach. She gazed up to find him smiling down at her adoringly and she couldn't help but to feel so warm and fuzzy inside.

"Look at that." She pointed toward the dark sky.

Gippal followed her finger and raised an eyebrow. "The rain?"

Rikku nodded her head in dismay to see that this Sunday wasn't like the other Sundays, bright and sunny. Today was dark and raining. "Yes, the rain ruined our perfect day."

"Who said so?" Gippal whispered into her ears, making Rikku confused.

Without another word, Gippal softly picked her up into his arms. Surprised, Rikku quickly gazed up toward Gippal's smiling face, as he winked down at her and gave her a kiss. He then ran into the rain, making Rikku protest for a while before he began to twirl around.

Gippal laughed, as he tightly held her into his arms. He gazed up toward the sky, letting the rain soak him completely, as he enjoyed the refreshing sensation. Rikku watched him carefully and couldn't help but to smile as well. Even though the rain came, Gippal was determined to make her happy. Nothing could ruin their day. Nothing could ruin what they had together! Gazing back down, he found Rikku smiling back at him lovingly, as she softly then caressed his face, making it impossible for him to not kiss her.

Breaking up for air, Rikku got down onto her feet, as she circled her arms around his neck and leaned forward for a brief kiss.

"Dance with me Cid's girl." Gippal whispered, as he circled his arms around her waist.

Rikku smiled. "Where is the music?" She asked with a grin.

Gippal chuckled before he started to sing one of her favorite songs, as Rikku found herself lost in his beautiful voice. She closed her eyes and let him guide her through the dance, as the rain became oblivion, as well as their surroundings.

Everything was perfect.
