(Lame, it seems that some symbols don't work, so im just going to put who it is )

(Rikku)- I looked at Gippal. He seemed to be doing better now that I got him out of that apartment. "Gip I.." Before I could finish my sentence I saw a man sitting by himself in a near by booth. Gippal caught my wondering eye. "You think he is cute?" I shook my head, sure he was a moderately tall man, with a nice build, and the most beautiful skin... My thoughts were interrupted when he turned his head meeting my eyes... His eyes are beautiful too, a stormy gray color. To my horror I saw that smirk pop up on Gippal's face. The smirk that meant he was about to do something that would make me very, very embarrassed. "Hey buddy, would you like to join the lady and myself?" I sunk in my seat blushing like crazy, "Gip Im going to kill you for this." I said it under my breath but I know he heard me. The man looked at him and then went back to what he was doing. I sighed relived that he didn't join us, but Gip didn't give up. "How about we buy you a drink?" He turned his head and gave a slight nod. He stood up and walked over to us. He was wearing a red shirt with black and lining on it. As he sat down next to me Gippal began to ask my potential a million questions. "What's your name? Where are you from? What do you do for a living? What's your mother's maiden name? What's your shoe size? What's your favorite food? Do you like long walks on the beach or going to bars? Do you think of your self as the dominate one in a relationship? Do you think I'm asking too many questions?" Gippal laughed for a second, he was having way too much fun embarrassing me in front of him. The man looked at him and shook his head. "Maybe this was a bad idea." He went to get up and I grabbed his arm. "Please don't go." He stared down at me and then looked at Gippal. "Im not gay." He stated as he removed my hands. Gippal laughed. "I was not asking for me." Gippal looked at me, and so did our mysterious guest. I could feel my cheeks on fire, I looked away and tried not to cry. The man sat back down and tilted my head back up to him. "My name is Kroga, it's nice to meet you.." "Rikku" I filled in shaking his hand. I was relieved when the rest of the night it was smooth sailing. We had got our drinks and we ended up talking for five hours. It turns out Kroga is part of a group called Chaos, though he didn't tell us much about it. I also found out he is from Luca. I found it odd though that I have not met him before, Gip and I have lived here for the past four years. He seems to have a sense of humor too because later he answered every question Gippal asked, His shoe size is 11 ½/. His favorite food is Albed. He likes going to bars and then after getting drunk walk the beaches, and he sees himself as the dominate one in a relationship. I had to hide my face because I blushed when he said it. We were having so much fun, until Kroga looked down at his watch. "I have to be going, it was nice meeting the two of you." He got up, bowed to us and left. Gippal leaned in and started talking to me. "Wow he is a cutie!" I smiled, "Yeah, I can't wait til I see him again." Suddenly it hit me. "What's wrong?" Gippal asked, but as soon as he did it dawned on him too. "I forgot to give him my number!" We both slouched in are seats, all that time and I forgot to give him my number. "Cheer up Rikku, You'll meet him again im sure." Gippal tried to cheer me up, and that line probably would have worked too, but we have lived here for the past four years and that was the first time I met him. We paid for our bill and left to go back to Gippal's apartment. Considering I was so drunk at this point he offered to let me spend the night.

(Baralai) Waking up, I rubbed my eyes trying my best not to fall back asleep. I rolled over and put my arm out. Suddenly a hand grabbed my arm. My eyes shot open to see the back of another man, he made my arm hold him. My mind was racing, I could not remember what happened last night. Did I have sex with this man? I checked under the sheets and we were both naked. "Oh Yevon..." I spoke. Please don't let this be real. I checked around for a condom of some kind, but to my horror I didn't find any. Dear Yevon did I have unprotected sex with a stranger? I went into a bit of a panic. I'd have to go down to the clinic and get tested. "Morning." The man in my bed spoke as he came to. "Morning..." I said back with a lack of enthusiasm. "What's wrong." Without getting dressed he stood up off the bed and walked over to me. "Are you sad because we stopped." He put his hand on my chest and began to run it down my body. Before it could go too low I grabbed him by the wrist. "I don't remember what happened last night, I don't even know who you are!" I was starting to get angry. The man just smiled, "I offered you a drink last night, one thing led to another and here we are." I shook my head. "Did we use protection?" The man laughed. "Of course not that takes all the fun out of it." "Dear YEVON!" I fell to my knees before him... and realized we were still not dressed. "Find your cloths, we are going to the clinic." The man laughed again. "Why would we do that?" I can't believe this, I just had sex with a complete idiot. "Have you not heard of Aids? For all I know your infected. I Don't even know your name!" He smiled, "It's Elric." He made another move on me, so I just pushed him onto my bed. "Get your damn cloths." He seemed aroused. "I like it when your rough." Yevon give me strength this is going to be a long night... After an hour of battling him to get in the car... and not to touch me. We made it to the clinic, and were tested for every form of any disease... I would not know the results for a week... But the most important matter at hand is, what do I do with Elric?

(Gippal) The sun was shining brightly in my face again, it was clearly morning. When I moved my hand down my chest I was surprised to bump into something... It was Rikku, she had fallen asleep on top of me. In any other situation i would have found this odd, but why bother? As I moved to get out of bed Rikku rolled over to the other side of my bed opening her eyes. "Oh Yevon, please don't tell me we did it." She said in a mocking way. I laughed putting on my pants, "You only wish you were this lucky." I walked into the kitchen and opened up the fridge. "Milk?" I pulled out the carton eyeing it. "When was the last time I bought milk?" Opening it up, I was shocked to find a moldy fluffy substance staring back at me... "Damn no tea today.." I grabbed an apple instead and laid on my living room couch. It was a shame really. I have tons of nice things, but such a little place to put them out. Looking around my apartment I realized just how small it was. The kitchen was the biggest room, but if someone was sitting at the island counter you would have to squeeze to get by. Rikku came out of my room dressed and walked over to the fridge, and opened it up. "What happened to my apple?" I looked down at the half eaten red fruit and smiled. "I don't know..." She quickly turned her head looking at me and the delicious fruit. "Yevon! Gip you ate my apple again!" The Albed girl came flying at me. "Take pity on me, the man I love likes you!" I braced myself for her playful/not so playful pounce. When I didn't feel her attacking me I opened my eyes to see her in a deep state of depression. "I'm sorry about that..." Was all she would say... Suddenly for the first time in my entire life that I have known Rikku we sat in silence.
