"How's your foot?" Tidus asked as they started theirthird time around the track.
"The same it was the last time you asked five minutes ago," Yuna said with a giggle, "So Tidus are you wearing a pair of jeans and an 'Invader Zim' tee-shirt to dinner tonight?" She asked jokingly.
"You know it!" He said with a smile, "Not all of us enjoy dressing up like you."
"Hey, at least I try to make an effort. Plus Rikku and I found the perfect dress."
"Really? What does it look like?"
Yuna jumped ahead and turned around to face him, "Nice try! You don't get to see or hear about it until tonight! It's suppose to be a surprise. Even Lulu hasn't seen it. Besides I want to see your expression when you see it."
"And what expression would that be?Would it beone of disgust?" Tidus teased.
"Ha ha, very funny. You wont be saying that once you get a load of my gorgeous face tonight." Yuna said.
Tidus rolled his eyes, "Girls…"
"Well that was three times around and my foot feels a lot better. Thanks for taking me to the doctor's office and walking around with me." Yuna said.
"Anytime."
Yuna blushed a little, "I'm off to get my nails done first. I'll see you guys tonight. Don't forget that we have to meet in the Lobby early to get pictures taken."
"Have fun." Tidus said with a smile.
"I will!" Yuna said as she turned around while running off.
Now what am I suppose to do for the next few hours? I definitely don't want to go back to Bevelle, that place gives me the creeps. Of course, what else, the arcade!
Tidus ran to elevator and as he entered he was greeted by Rikku, Gippal, Lulu and Wakka, "Hey! There you are, brudda!"
"We decided to come back early to see how Yunie was," Rikku said.
"We saw the doctor and he said she was fine. She actually just left to go get ready for the formal night. She said something about her nails. When she talks 'Girl' I sorta drift in and out of the conversation," Tidus chuckled.
"Oh ya, Yunie, Lulu and I had appointments today."
Lulu looked down at Rikku, "We did?"
"Yeah, Yunie and I signed you up with us while we were there. We didn't dare sign Paine up though." Rikku smiled at Lulu.
Lulu sighed, "Well let's get going…"
"Yay! We also have hair and makeup appointments too!" Lulu sighed and shook her head.
"That's gonna take the rest of the day."
"I know! Isn't great!"
The guys looked back and forth between each other, "We'll let you girls do that. Meanwhile, we are going to go to the arcade."
"You three do realize that you guys have to get all dressed up for tonight too, right?" Rikku asked.
"Yeah. I already picked out the perfect pair of jeans." Tidus said.
Rikku laughed and then stopped realizing that he wasn't joking, "You all have to wear tuxedos tonight. It's a requirement of the ship."
They all looked at each other, "I don't think any of us own a tux, ya?"
Rikku rolled her eyes, "Well then we're just gonna have to go get you guys one now aren't we? I'm sure they sell them in the Mini Mall on the fourth deck. Let's go!"
They looked at Rikkuas ifshe was crazy. She grabbed them by the shirts and pulled them down to eye level, "You're getting tuxedos, and you three don't have a say in the matter. So says the awesomeness of Rikku!"
"There's no winning, you guys. When Rikku starts talking in the first person, she means business," Gippal said. The guys hung their heads as they followed Rikku down to the store.
The spent almost an hour getting fitted into their tuxedos until they were finally allowed to leave, "And don't you guys be late tonight! Pictures are at 7 o'clock sharp!" Rikku shouted as she dropped the guys off at the arcade before leaving for her makeover.
"Rikku is a slave driver," Tidus said once she left.
"Try growing up with her!" Gippal continued in his voice intimidation of Rikku, "Gippal, get me a cupcake! Gippal, make me a snowman!" The guys left and started up a game of virtual racecar driving.
"We should be practicing for tomorrow. You said you had a new song for us, right Tidus?" Gippal asked.
"Yeah, I came up with it over the past few days. It's not that complicated. The only thing we need to worry about is your drum solo, Wakka." Tidus said.
"Well then what are we waiting for? Let's get practicing, ya!" Wakka said.
------
Six o'clock rolled around and the guys decided to head back to their rooms to get ready. Wakka slid his key through the lock. Their room looked like a clothes-bomb had gone off in the middle of it. Hanzel had delivered their tuxedos to their room and were hanging up in the closet.
"I call the shower first!" Tidus screamed as he ran for the bathroom.
He came out shortly after, "Dude, you actually gelled that mop on top of your head that you call hair. It actually looks normal." Gippal said.
"You think my hair looks weird! Then what the hell do you call Wakka's? His defies gravity!" Tidus said pointing to Wakka's bright orange hair. Gippal and Tidus laughed as Wakka entered the shower. Tidus slipped into his black tuxedo.
"I'm gonna kill Rikku for this!" Tidus shouted.
"Fat chance! I've been trying to kill that girl for years, it never works." Gippal said.
Wakka exited the shower and Gippal ran in. Wakka entered into his tuxedo, "You're right Tidus, this does suck."
Gippal finished up and the three exited their room and headed for the Lobby to await the girls, "On time with a few minutes to spare, all we have to do is wait for the girls. And here comes Rikku…"
Rikku descended down the stairs in a red-wine colored dress that cut off midway down her thigh, "I'm impressed that you guys actually managed to be on time." She said.
Gippal smiled at her, "I like your dress Rikku."
She smiled back, "Thanks. Lulu and Yuna were right behind me. There's Lulu!"
Lulu walked down the stairs in her dark black gown with her hair down, some thing that rarely ever happened. Wakka's eyes widened as he gazed at Lulu. She approached him as Wakka swallowed, "You look awesome Lu."
Yuna was the last down the stairs. She was wearing her new velvet dark blue gown that slit down her right leg. She had her hair curled and put up with two strands hanging from each side.
Tidus smiled at her from the bottom of the stairs, "What happened to your jeans and tee-shirt?" Yuna asked.
"Rikku happened…" Tidus said.
"Off to the pictures!" Rikku shouted.
"Wait. Where's Paine?"
"She refused to come. She said this was the stupidest thing she had ever heard of and wouldn't be caught dead here, let alone in a dress."
"Pictures! Pictures!" Rikku was screaming.
"Alright!" Gippal said to try to shut her up, "Let's go over to the plain background first." They walked into the line and soon arrived at the front.
"Ok, let's see…" The woman at the camera said, "I want you two here and you here. There we go. Miss in the blue dress, lean more into the guy with the blonde hair. Perfect." She snapped the camera.
"Now for the couple pictures. Who's first?" Wakka and Lulu looked at each other and walked in front of the camera. The others smiled at them.
"Good. Now you two." She said as she pointed to Gippal and Rikku.
"We're not a couple!" Rikku screamed.
"Shut up, Squirt and come get your picture taken with me." Gippal said with a smile.
"And finally you two." She motioned at Tidus and Yuna.
"You can't honestly picture us a couple, could you?" Yuna said.
"Shut up and get your picture taken together," Rikku said as she pushed them into place in front of the camera.
"Alright, Miss I want you to stand in front of him and Sir, I want you to hold her left hand. Tidus turned the color of Rikku's dress as he held onto Yuna's hand.
"I don't usually do this, but is it possible if I could get a few more of you two. You make a really good pair."
Yuna turned her head to look up at Tidus, "Good. Now I want you to sit on this stool and have the lady sit on your lap." Tidus's eyes grew huge and he just stared at Yuna. She casually laid her legs across him, "Miss, if you could put your arms around the gentleman's neck. And sir place your arms around her waist. There we go!"
Sheshottheoicture and Yuna got off of Tidus's lap. Tidus's face was still bright red, "Just a few more pictures!"
"No, we really need to get to dinner," Yuna said.
"But I've never seen two people with more chemistry in front of a camera as you two!" The camera lady said.
"My apologies, but we really do have to get going." They headed to the dinning room, against the camera lady's wishes.They sat down at their usual table, overlooking the people and dance floor beneath them.
"That camera lady was crazy, ya?" Wakka said.
"Good evening everyone," Hanzel said as he appeared out of nowhere, "What can I get for you all tonight?"
"I'll start out with a salad, for soup I'll have the Crème De Polo, and for the main course I'll have the halibut in lemongrass sauce." Yuna said. Everyone else just looked at her.
"I'll just have the same thing as her, what ever it was." Rikku said.
"Me too," the others responded.
"Look at this place on formal night! That chandelier is so beautiful." Hanging above the dancing area was a crystal chandelier that lit up the entire room.
From the other side of the balcony a band started to play, "That music's so pretty," Rikku said.
"Would you like to dance with me Lulu?" Wakka asked.
"I'd love to," Wakka extended an elbow and led Lulu down the stairs to the dance floor where other couples were starting to accumulate.
"Hey squirt, wanna dance?" Gippal asked Rikku with a wink glancing over at Tidus and Yuna.
"Sure!" Gippal walked off with Rikku.
Tidus and Yuna were left alone at the table.
I want to ask Yuna to dance. But will she say no?
"Ummm…Yuna?"
"Yeah?"
"Will you dance with me?"
"Gladly." Tidus took Yuna's hand and led her down the stairs to the dance floor. Yuna put her arms around Tidus's neck and started to dance to the slow music.
"So was it worth it?" Tidus asked Yuna.
"Was what worth it?"
"My facial expression. I'm not sure what it looked like so you'll have to tell me."
Yuna smiled, "The only word I can say to describe it is 'shocked'. I thought you jaw might have fallen off."
"But you have to admit that you were a little shocked when you saw me in my tux."
Yuna giggled, "Maybe…"
Rikku sighed from the other end of the dance floor, "They look so cute together, don't they?"
"We're geniuses," Gippal said with no emotion.
Rikku continued to slow dance with Gippal, "They look so happy!"
Gippal rolled his eyes and sighed, "Rikku," she continued to look at them, "Rikku!"
"What?"
"Stop looking at them and look at me for once! Yevon!" Gippal shouted.
"What's the matter?" Rikku asked as she tilted her head.
"Nothing… nothing's the matter…"
"Something's the matter. Come on Gippal, we've never had any secrets from each other and I know something is bothering you." Rikku said with worry in her voice.
"Rikku, I've known you longer than anyone else. I've always treated you like a little sister. But I woke up one day and realized that you weren't the little Rikku I grew up with, you're a…well…a girl." Gippal blushed. Rikku still gave him a questioning look.
"You still don't get it," he sighed, "Forget it."
Rikku lifted herself onto her Tipp toes and kissed Gippal, "I get it." Gippal smiled at Rikku and gave her a hug.
"Did you just see what I saw?" Yuna said in shock.
"I'm not sure," Tidus said, "If you mean Gippal and Rikku kissing, then yes." They laughed.
"Who would have guessed…" Yuna said.
"I can't wait for tomorrow!" Tidus said.
"Why? What's happening tomorrow?" Yuna questioned.
Oh shit! I'm gonna spoil the surprise!
"I'm not telling."
"Why not?"
"You didn't tell me about your dress, so why should I tell you about tomorrow?" Tidus said with a sly grin, "Hey look the food's here. You go get Rikku and Gippal and I'll get Lulu and Wakka."
They all gathered back up at the table and ate their food, "That was so good!" Rikku said, "I love chocolate! I love it good!"
