The New Generation

"Morning Mom." Spoke the 14 years old Al Bhed boy as he entered the kitchen.

Rikku smiled to see her cheerful son. He was a replica of his father, even his smirk was identical to Gippal's trade mark smirk, but there was one thing that he had from Rikku. Their son had her round, small nose. Although it didn't change much of his appearance of his father, Rikku loved to know that his nose was like her own.

Like any mother, Rikku worried after her son. What worried her wasn't his facility in attracting girls because of his looks, but by the fact that the Al Bhed boy had inherited his parents' sense of adventure and mischief. Even though she knew it was perfectly normal for him to get into trouble, Rikku hoped that he would be more careful, but all in all, the kid was perfect in her eyes.

"Good morning Zerro." Rikku greeted, as her son quickly picked the toast from his breakfast plate, not bothering to sit down to eat properly.

"Bye Mom."Zerro spoke, as he quickly kissed Rikku upon her check, making her smile.

"Where are you going?"Rikku quickly asked, as she watched her son put on his boots hastily.

"I'm going out digging with Vadina." He replied back, his words muffled by the fact that he was holding his toast with his mouth.

"Alright, but don't be late for lunch."Rikku replied back. "And be careful!" She then quickly added.

"Don't worry, I won't!" Zerro announced before heading toward the door, which was suddenly opened.

Gippal soon walked in to find his son heading out.

"Morning Pop." He greeted, before closing the door. "Bye Pop."

Gippal chuckled as he walked toward the kitchen to find his wife busy with the dishes. He slowly then circled his arms around her waste and kissed her neck lovingly. Rikku smiled as she leaned back to rest upon Gippal's chest.

"Where is Zerro going?" Gippal asked, pulling her even closer to him.

"He went out with Vadina, I guess to finish up the dig they started yesterday in the desert."

"It'll be quite a while, won't it?" Gippal asked.

"I think it will." Rikku replied back, as she finished with the plates.

"That means we have the house for ourselves." Gippal whispered into her ear in a suggestive tone.

She softly laughed before turning around and circling her arms around his neck. No matter how old they got, they were still madly in love with each other. Every day was a new adventure for them, and no matter what they did, they did it together for each other and for their son.

"What do you have in mind?" Rikku asked with a grin.

Gippal gave her a brief kiss before lifting her up in his arms and taking her away from the kitchen.

...o...

"Oi Vadina!" Called out Zerro, as he ran toward his red head friend, who stood waiting for him next to a hover.

"What took you so long?" Asked Vadina, who was a year older than his friend.

"Sorry, kinda lost track of time." He spoke sheepishly, before putting his gloves on.

"Hey Zerro." Vadina spoke, as he watched his friend preparing himself for the dig. "I hope you don't mind, but I brought along a person."

"The more the merrier!" Zerro replied back, as he fastened the goggles around his swirly emerald eyes.

"Yeah, but it's her." Vadina explained, calling Zerro's attention as he stopped whatever he was doing to look back at him.

His smile widen as his grinned. "No matter." He replied back.

Vadina grunted. "You aren't going to do it again are you?"

"Do what?" Zerro innocently asked.

"Make her do all the work. You know how she is! She'll probably complain it to her father! Or worst, her mother!" Vadina explained, trying to make his friend see the situation.

Zerro only grinned, "Well if she is coming with us, then she has to follow our orders, right?"

"Wrong!" Spoke a female voice, as both boys turned around to face a girl, who Vadina had invited along.

There stood a 13 years old girl. She had her short brown hair tied up in a pointy tail, while her hands were settled upon her hip. Her distinctive eyes, which were exactly like her mother's eyes, gazed upon both boys. She looked exactly like Yuna, but her personalty wasn't calm like her mother, instead it resembled much of her father, Tidus' personality.

Zerro smirked back at her. "Morning Yun." He greeted.

"Good morning Zerro." She greeted with a nasty look. "Morning Vadina." She then reffered herself to the red head boy with a much more pleasant and cheerful tone.

"Heard you were coming along." Zerro spoke, as he picked up the shovels and carefully put it onto the hover.

"Yeah, that's right." Yun spoke, as she put on her gloves and approached.

"Ready to do some heavy work?" Zerro grinned at her.

She frowned. "I am not your slave Zerro, I'm here to join your adventure in digging." She declared.

Zerro only smirked and continued preparing the hover. "But since I'm captain, I guess you will have to follow my orders."

"What are your orders then?" Yun asked, knowing that she wouldn't like the answer.

"As usual, you will have to dig." Zerro simply replied.

Yun frowned and her hands flew toward her hip once again. "I will not dig while you sit back and relax!"

"I'll help." Vadina finally entered the conversation, as he frowned toward Zerro, telling him to stop provoking the girl.

"Thank you Vadina." Yun spoke with a smile, but then she grinned back at the Al Bhed. "Well since I'm digging, I want half of everything we find."

"What?" He asked surprised, before laughing. "No way!"

"I'm doing the work, and I deserve a reward." Yun protested indignantly.

Zerro only laughed. "But it was your choice to join in. Now chose, come along and work without a reward, or stay back and do nothing."

"You are impossible to deal with!" Yun replied in annoyance. "I don't get it! How can you attract so many girls with such an irritating attitude?"

Zerro chuckled as he approached Yun with a smirk upon his handsome face. "You really want to know?" He asked with a mischief smile.

"Zerro." Vadina warned but it was too late.

Yun quickly then took out her staff, which belonged to her famous mother Yuna, and summoned water to come up and splash the Al Bhed boy. She smiled in triumph at Zerro, but then laughed at his soaked figure.

"I should have learned some of those magic tricks." Zerro mumbled silently, before he gazed at Yun.

"Well you deserved it." Yun declared as her laughs settled down.

Vadina who was also laughing a while ago, spoke. "Can we go now?"

Zerro brushed back his blond hair from his tanned face. "As long as she is digging."

Yun frowned again, apparently the water had not changed Zerro's mind. "I am not digging!"

Zerro got onto the hover and started the engine. Vadina who was already standing on the hover, quickly held tight as they began to move.

"Well then too bad." Spoke Zerro, as he gazed toward Yun,who began to pace herself along with the hover.

"You are a big idiot Zerro!" She called, feeling irritated.

Without warning, Zerro leaned forward to grab hold of Yun's arm, as he brought her closer to him. "Don't blame me sweetheart, we all have our bad days." With that said he pressed his lips against hers, before pushing away. With a smirk and a wink, Zerro straightened up and sped the hover away into the desert.

Yun stood there in disbelief, as she found herself blushing. Her fingers gingerly touched her lips, and wondered why she felt a tinge of delight. 'He is sort of handsome.' Yun absently thought, while she watched the sand rise, as the hover disappeared into the desert.

"Zerro, you jerk!"
