Okay I thought I the last chapter would be the 7th chapter, and yes I know what chapter it is now because its kinda hard to write four stories at once, but I didn't like the way it just ended with tacos, soo... And this story was meant to be a General/Romance...umm I guess I didn't do to much romance.. So this chapter is sappy(ish) and fun(ish).
Chapter 8: All for Love, and love for all!
Rikku yawned loudly and stretched only to find herself on the floor. She mumbled as she stood up. "Floor always in the way..." Then she mumbled some more.
Rikku stretched and remembered her evening with Gippal. They had laughed about their escapades but Rikku still felt like Gippal got the last trick in. And that couldn't happen. Tacos or no tacos, vengence would be hers.
Rikku thought to herself quietly trying to decide what she could use to her advantage, it just so happened that the annual Creativity Exhibition was coming up, and that was the perfect place to strike. The exhibition was a place for everyone to show off creativity and Rikku had a brilliant idea...involving... Tacos.
------Gippal------
"I was thinking the Gipster!" Gippal said as he tried to think of a Creative name for his design for the Creativity Exhibition.
"Uh huh." Paine said with a shrug.
"Think about it, a robot with my body and good looks, and personality." Gippal exclaimed.
"There is enough of you in the world already. If there were two of you I think the Eternal Calm would end." Paine muttered.
"But if I was Rikku what would I make?" Gippal asked. " I got it!"
-----Creativity Exhibition-----
Cid: "Welcome to the 7th Annual Creativity Exhibition, where the creative people will be separated from... uhh... uncreative people!" Cid announced.
Rikku looked at the large thing she was presenting. It was covered by a white cloth and looked almost like an ice cream truck. Rikku smiled, as she looked at the huge gold trophy that would belong to her and only her.
"Good luck Rikku, to bad I didn't enter." Yuna said as she stood beside Tidus and Paine.
Meanwhile, Gippal looked at his project, it was almost indentical in shape to Rikku's. He smiled mysteriously. Rikku gave him an evil glare, and turned back to Cid.
"Well I have seen all but two projects, and these two belong to Rikku and Gippal." Cid announced. "As they say: Ladies first!"
"Hurry up Gippal!" Rikku shouted.
"Oh yeah that's right, you were orginally a guy, I almost forgot!" He said smugly.
Rikku pulled the cloth off to reveal...
"Taco Siempre!" She shouted as he looked at the taco cart. "This car will be able to deliver tacos around town, and it will be run by a person who will be the Taco Chef!" Rikku shouted. "Now no one will be heart broken when they turn around and find no tacos, no more decieving!" The crowd applauded loudly.
Gippal smirked. "I would like to show you my invention, if you can call it that. The Gipster always delivers." He pulled the cloth off and the crowd gasped. "Who you gonna call? Taco Busters!" The crowd looked at the project similar to Rikku's.
Gippal walked over to the Taco Buster. "This will create a taco that will actually fill you up, but leave you with an appetite for more." He announced. "The Taco Buster will demolish El Taco Siempre!" He announced with a stupid grin.
Rikku glared daggers at him. "Who you gonna call, Taco Busters? What kind of meanie are you?" Rikku asked.
"I'm a Taco Buster, here to save Spira from hunger!" Gippal announced with a salute.
Cid looked around. "Well I can't really decide who should win, but the winner is ..."
Gippal and Rikku couldn't hold back their anticipation.
Cid continued. "The winner is..."
"Yuna!"
The crowd gasped. Yuna just smiled and waved to the crowd. Rikku couldn't believe it, neither could Gippal.
Rikku walked over to Gippal and put her hand out. Gippal looked at her suspicously and they shook. Then as quick as the wind Gippal wrapped his arm around Rikku and they kissed.
The crowd clapped again.
Yuna turned to the audience. "Good work guys, you'll be payed later!" She shouted to the audience. Rikku and Gippal looked at Yuna.
"What?" Rikku asked.
"Yeah what's going on?" Gippal questioned.
"Oh we faked the whole charade." Yuna said with a smile. "We ruined Gippal's date first and made him believe it was Rikku, then he ruined Rikku's date with Maxi and here we are!" she said with a grin. Tidus and Paine nodded with approval.
"You set us up?" Gippal asked.
"Yes we did." Paine clarified. "Since we saw you and Rikku fight at the temple we knew you two idiots were meant for each other." Paine said with a smile.
"I didn't know what was going on." Cid said with anger.
"That's because you're stupid." Tidus coughed. "Everyone in the audience was hired since this thing never gets any puplicity."
Rikku smiled and hugged Yuna and Paine. "Thanks guys. You know me better than I know myself when it comes to love." Then she turned to Tidus and punched him in the face. "Don't call my dad stupid!" she shouted.
Gippal just smiled. "I guess we should hook Paine up with Baralai."
Paine looked around. "Hey look a taco!" She said as they all turned, and she ran away.
Rikku smiled. "We should just give this one to her."
"What would be the fun in that?" Gippal asked. So Yuna, Tidus, Rikku, and Gippal chased after Paine, even though this time there actually were tacos.
