"I really wish I hadn't said that. Oh well at least it will make tonight even more special, especially with an engagement ring" thought Tidus and he headed the other way. He took a left turning and jumped off the cliff into the water. He found a stray Biltzball and dove under water with it. He then performed the Jecht Shot Mark III. The ball skimmed over the ground which disturbed the stones. He picked up the biggest stone he could find and headed to the village.
While at the village Rikku was in deep thought.
"Ok Rikku think, you don't have feelings for Gippal. No I don't. I know I'll list all the bad things about him. He doesn't call me by my name, he embarrasses me, he says annoying things like, like, ummmm. He's cute, he's a great friend and I nearly lost him to Vegnagun. Ahhh what am I thinking of course I still love him" thought Rikku and she headed towards the beach.
While on the way she started to think about what she had said to Paine.
"That's not a dream. Not if your heart's thumping like that" said Rikku to Yuna at the docks in Luca. Rikku jumped off the ramp. "You and someone else are connected some how" said Rikku.
"How worldly" replied Paine. Rikku put her hands behind her head.
"You know, I used to feel like that about someone" said Rikku.
"About who?" asked Paine. Rikku let her arms drop and faced Paine.
"Oh I don't know, maybe we could trade secrets" replied Rikku.
"Huh, you drive a hard bargain" said Paine, and as Yuna walked on to the nearby boat.
"Ok you first" said Rikku when Yuna was out of earshot.
"Fine, well you know when you thought there was some past between me and Nooj" said Paine.
"Yeah" replied Rikku.
"Well you were right. Two years ago, Me, Nooj, Barali and Gippal joined the Crimson Squad, it was supposed to be an elite fighting force" said Paine.
"But everyone started to shoot each other, right?" asked Rikku who was now looking at the floor wishing that she hadn't asked.
"How did you know?" asked Paine.
"Gippal, I heard him talk in his sleep one night right after Sin was defeated. But I never told him what I heard, and I thought it was a nightmare" replied Rikku.
"I see" said Paine she continued "we escaped but… Nooj, he shot me" said Paine. Rikku gasped.
"Are you ok?" asked Rikku.
"Yes, I've always seen it as an accident" replied Paine. Rikku was silent. "Now you have to tell me your secret" said Paine with a smile on her face.
"Oh poopie I thought you would forget" said Rikku.
"Come on Rikku, otherwise I'll take respect points off" said Paine.
"Well ok… I used to fancy Gippal a long time ago. But nothing happened ok" said Rikku.
"Are you sure?" asked Paine.
"Yes" said Rikku.
"It's just that I thought I saw you blushing in Djose" said Paine.
"He… he… he, I er got to go er to see umm Brother" said Rikku nervously. With that she boarded the Celcius with Paine followed closely behind.
"Wow now that I think about it I must of sounded stupid" thought Rikku as she was walking along the beach. Then she spotted a machina that the Al- bed used in Mushroom Rock Road, to get from Djose Temple to the Youth League Headquarters. Not many people knew that this machina could also travel on water as well. Rikku swung her leg over and started the engine and headed to Djose.
While at the village Tidus had just arrived, and he spotted Paine who was just about to leave.
"Hey Paine" said Tidus as he ran up to the warrior.
"Yes" answered Paine.
"Can you keep Yuna busy until tonight?" asked Tidus.
"That shouldn't be too hard. Brother just contacted me he wants to follow Rikku" replied Paine. "No doubt Yuna will want to take part" said Paine.
"Thanks I really appreciate it" replied Tidus, and with that Paine left.
"I'm not one to pry on what's he's got planned" thought Paine as she walked away. Tidus went over to the first tent on the left and went inside.
"Welcome" said the girl behind the desk. The girl has long black hair, she had brown eyes and was wearing a cream dress.
"How can I help you Sir Tidus?" asked the girl.
"Sir Tidus?" questioned Tidus.
"Ofcourse you were one of Lady Yuna's Guardians" replied the girl.
"Oh, what's your name?" asked Tidus.
"Miya" replied Miya, she asked "so what do you want?".
"Yeah umm I need something to cut a Besaid stone with and I need a band for an engagement ring" said Tidus.
"Hmmm well these daggers should due the trick for the stone. But I'm afraid we don't sell them separately and I've only got blue left. Is that ok?" asked Miya.
" Yeah no problem" replied Tidus. Miya pulled out two daggers from under the desk and put them on the table.
"Do you want a message on the band or anything special done to it" asked Miya.
"Yeah umm could you put on it, not till the end. Always." Said Tidus.
"Sure that will be 100 Gil please" said Miya. Tidus handed over the Gil. Miya pulled out a gold box from under the desk. She opened the box to find a gold ring inside with a space for a small stone. She took the ring out and using a small carving tool she in scripted the words.
Not till the end. Always
Miya put the ring back into the case and handed the daggers and the box over to Tidus.
"Thanks" said Tidus as he headed out.
"Come again and you and Lady Yuna make a lovely couple!" shouted Miya after him.
While on the Celcius.
"It just seems to be a movie sphere Yuna" said Shinra as he was analyzing the sphere.
"Oh ok" said Yuna.
"Where is Paine? I want to know where Rikku is going" grumbled Brother, who was in the pilot's seat.
"She'll be here" said Buddy who was also in his usual seat.
"What could he mean by I've got something to do" thought Yuna. Just then someone came into the room. "Tidus" said Yuna hopefully.
"Sorry Yuna" said Paine as she walked down the steps. She continued "I think he has got a surprise planned Yuna" said Paine.
"A surprise…. Whatever could it be" said Yuna she felt much happier now that she knew he wasn't avoiding her. Just then Brother came out of his seat.
"All right Gullwings this is the order, we follow Rikku" said Brother.
"And why are we following Rikku? Shouldn't we be doing the opposite" joked Paine. Then Buddy stood beside Brother.
"Brother heard Rikku talk in her sleep about Gippal" said Buddy.
"Isn't that Rikku's private life?" asked Paine.
"I suppose it wouldn't hurt, if she didn't know that we weren't there" said Yuna with a smile on her lips. Just then Cid came in.
"Well what are you waiting for get this thing moving" said Cid. With that everyone got into their usual place but Cid was still standing there, and the Celcius took off. "Where's the kid?" asked Cid.
"He's staying at Besaid" said Yuna.
"I like him, he's all about action less talk. Unlike Gippal" said Cid.
"He hurt Rikku" said Brother from the pilot seat.
"What did he do?" asked Yuna who always thought that Rikku and Gippal were friends.
"He broke my little girl's heart. Couldn't stop crying for weeks. So my son decided to take her swimming but" said Cid.
"Brother hit her with a thunder spell" said Yuna.
"Darn tooting he did" said Cid.
"It was an accident!" shouted Brother.
"Gippal and Rikku used to go out with each other" exclaimed Yuna.
"Huh, I knew Rikku was hiding something more" said Paine.
"I didn't trust him then, and I don't trust him now, but I like the kid Yuna I could really tell that he loves you" replied Cid and with that he headed to the cabin.
While in Djose Rikku had just arrived on the machina. Rikku got off and was about to go into the temple when she stopped herself.
"Wait I can't just go in and tell him I love him. I need an excuse, umm" thought Rikku.
"Why if it isn't Cid's girl" said Gippal as he came up behind Rikku. Rikku jumped and turned around.
"Oh Gippal, hi" said Rikku who was trying to sound like she wasn't expecting him.
"You're not normally on your own where's Paine and Yuna?" asked Gippal.
"Well er Paine and Yunie are in Besaid" said Rikku.
"Ok so what can I do for you?" asked Gippal. Rikku then got worried but then she got an idea.
"You know that one of Yunie's Gaurdian's disappeared right?" asked Rikku.
"Yeah" replied Gippal.
"Well he came back" said Rikku hoping that he would buy it.
"Hmmm and you came all the way from Besaid to say that?" asked Gippal.
"Yeah" said Rikku who was now getting worried.
"When you could be having a party?" asked Gippal.
"Er…" said Rikku. "Oh boi" thought Rikku.
"I thought as much" said Gippal. He continued "I'll be in the temple if you want me" said Gippal and turned to head for the temple.
"I love you!" shouted Rikku behind him. Gippal stopped. "Nice one Rikku" thought Rikku. Gippal turned around and kissed Rikku on the lips with his eyes closed. Rikku's heart was thumping so fast that her eyes were wide with shock. But then she gave in and she kissed him back. She giggled and took his hand and led him to one of the temple's bedrooms. Gippal sat on the bed while Rikku locked the door and she jumped on top of Gippal knocking him flat on the bed. They both started to kiss each other aggressively. They hurriedly took each other's clothes off although Rikku had some trouble with Gippal's trouser zip. She pulled so hard that she broke the zip. But the trousers did come off. "Whoops" said Rikku
"Don't worry about it" said Gippal as they got under the sheets while kissing aggressively.
While back in Besaid Village Tidus was sitting down near the fire busy chipping away at the stone he had found, using one of the daggers he brought. He had just washed it and it was a blue and green colour.
"Matches her eyes" thought Tidus. Just then Wakka came out of the hut.
"Hey Tidus, the Aurochs need to practice later, will you go with them?" asked Wakka.
"Hmmm I should be finished later" thought Tidus. "Ok Wakka, I'll practice later" replied Tidus.
"Ok then ya" said Wakka and with that he went down to the beach. While Tidus kept chipping away at the stone.
While outside Djose temple the Celcius had just arrived. Both Yuna and Paine boarded off the Celcius and approached the guards at the door.
"E's cunno, pid Gippal ec pico (I'm sorry, but Gippal is busy)" said the guard on the left hand side. The other guard gave a chuckle.
"Ra'c kud bancuhym syddans du yddaht du (He's got personal matters to attend to)" said the right hand side guard.
"Uh, Paine I didn't really understand what they said, what is Gippal doing?" asked Yuna. You see that Yuna was still learning the Al-bead language and she didn't understand everything. Paine sighed and turned to Yuna.
"They said that Gippal's busy" replied Paine.
"Oh ok" said Yuna. She turned to the guards "ryja oui caah Rikku? (have you seen Rikku?)" asked Yuna. The right hand side guard gave another chuckle.
"Cra'c eh drana fedr Gippal (She's in there with Gippal)" replied the guard. Just then there was buzzing sound.
"What!" shouted Cid down the communicator. Cid stormed off the Celcius and approached the guards.
"Fro teth'd oui cdub ran! (Why didn't you stop her!)" shouted Cid at the guards. At that both guards crossed there arms.
"Ed'c esbuccipmi du cdub Rikku (It's impossible to stop Rikku)" said the left hand side guard. The other guard gave another chuckle, Cid glared at him.
"Oayr, Rikku kyja ic e muug dryd cyet, kad uid uv so fyo, un oui'na tayt (Yeah, Rikku gave us a look that said, get out of my way, or you're dead)" said the right hand side guard. He chuckled again.
"Nekrd, uid uv so fyo! (Right, out of my way!)" shouted Cid who was now clenching his fists.
"E's cunno, Cid (I'm sorry, Cid)" said the left hand side guard.
"Oayr, ra'c uin pucc (Yeah, he's our boss)" said the right hand side guard.
"So meddma kenm ec eh drana, yht oui cyo E lyh'd ku eh! (My little girl is in there, and you say I can't go in!)" shouted Cid.
"E's cunno (I'm sorry)" said the right hand guard. Yuna put her hand on Cid's shoulder.
"Uncle Cid we could just wait for Rikku, I'm sure she won't be long" said Yuna as she put her hand to her side.
"Hmph" said Cid and he headed back to the Celcius.
"What now?" asked Paine.
"I guess we wait" said Yuna. Then with that both girls sat down on a nearby wall and waited.
