Swimming anyone?
"So, who's hungry? Cause…I'm starving, ya?" Wakka asked.
"Your always hungry, Wakka," Tidus replied.
Wakka started rubbing the back of his head. "Heh, well, Blitz can do that to a guy."
"Well, I'm up for a little food," Yuna said.
"Yea, me too!" Rikku added
Tidus looked around, "uh… where's Kerri?"
Yuna put her hand to her chin and said, " Ya know, I haven't seen her since she went to detention with…"
"GIPPAL! NO! STOP! PLEASE!" Kerri pleaded as Gippal was pushing her toward the sphere pool.
"Have fun," Gippal said with a sly smile as he gave her a shove. When Gippal pushed Kerri, she grabbed onto his arm and dragged him into the pool with her. "Whoa," was his last word before he fell into the pool with a splash.
Rikku and Yuna giggled and Tidus and Wakka shook their heads.
Kerri surfaced. Oh my God. What a jerk! She turned and faced him. "Jerk! You are such a jerk!" she screamed at him.
"So I've been told," her said with a smirk.
Kerri glared at him. I hate him, I hate him, I… "Ahh!" Kerri train of thought was brought to an abrupt halt when she was pushed under the water. When she came up she screamed, "I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, GIPPAL SAGONA!" But before she would do anything she was pushed under the water again.
"We better go help them out of the pool," Tidus said.
"Yea, Ker might kill Gippal," Yuan said as she started for the staircase being followed by Rikku, Tidus, and Wakka.
This time when Kerri resurfaced she was face to face with him. His blonde hair was now down and pieces were covering his eyes. He took his hand and pushed back his hair exposing his emerald eyes. Kerri heart began beating fast again. He smiled at her and Kerri couldn't help but smile back.
"So you're not mad?" Gippal asked her.
Kerri smirked, put her hand on his head, dunked him and said, "Nope."
When Gippal surfaced Kerri just smiled innocently. He just smirked and looked into her eyes. She's so different. Something about her just makes me want to be with her… I don't know what though.
Kerri was also lost in thought as she gazed into his eyes. Wow he has gorgeous eyes. He looks so good now… wait… what am I thinking?… umm… what should I do!
So out of panic, Kerri touched him and went, "Tag! You're it!" and swam away. Kerri tried her best to keep ahead of him, but he was too fast.
She's fast, but not fast enough. Gippal thought to himself as he closed in on her. He came up behind her and grabbed her waist. He then pulled her close to him and he said, "So now that I got you, what's my prize?"
Kerri felt her knees go weak and if she were standing… she wouldn't be anymore. She felt like her heart was going to pop out of her chest. He then leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Can I have you, as my prize?"
Kerri started blushing and she let out a nervous giggle. Gippal turned her around and looked into her eyes. "Well?"
Kerri just smiled goofily not knowing exactly what to say. She got lost gazing into his emerald eyes. What am I doing?
Gippal smiled at her, but it wasn't his normal cocky smirk, it was a genuine smile. Wow she's beautiful. He then leaned in closer to Kerri and closed his eyes. Well, lets see how this goes…
Kerri closed her eyes as well. OMG he's gonna kiss me! Just as their lips were about to meet an overly loud pineapple head interrupted them. "Hey you two, what are you doing in there?"
Both Kerri and Gippal quickly pulled apart and Gippal groaned thinking to himself. He has the worst possible timing known to all of Spira. Kerri just started swimming towards Tidus and Wakka thinking, Well this should be extremely awkward.
Gippal followed Kerri to the side of the pool and Wakka helped him out. "So, what were you two doing in the sphere pool, ya?"
Gippal just glared at Wakka, pushed past him, and mumbled 'idiot' under his breath.
Tidus laughed and pulled Kerri out of the pool. He winked at her and went, "have fun?" Kerri's face turned a dark crimson and to quickly change the subject she asked where Yuna and Rikku were.
"Well since some people here like to go swimming, you know in the only pair of clothes they have in school, we sent Yuna to get you some new clothes," Tidus explained to Kerri.
Kerri then put her hands on her hips and replied, "Well this little after school swim session wasn't exactly a planned out thing."
"Didn't seem that way to the onlookers." Tidus said back. "But anyway, I have an extra pair of clothes in my car that Gippal can wear, so lets go get them."
"Well till we get you guys some clothes, here is a towel," Wakka said handing them both a towel. Kerri took the towel and thanked Wakka while Gippal just snatched it out of his hand.
After they got the towels the four of them made their way out into the main hall. As they were nearing the exit Rikku came bouncing in with Baralai.
"Rik, where's Yuna?" Tidus asked.
"Yunie had to do something with her dad, so when I went home to get Kerri something to wear I ran into Baralai and invited him to come out with us." Rikku said so fast everyone just nodded their head pretending to know what she just said. She then turned to Kerri and handed her some clothes and said, "Here you go, Ker."
Kerri smiled, "Thanks, Rikku"
Then Baralai took out an outfit and said, "Since Rikku said Gippal was wet too I got him some clothes, as well."
"Thanks," Gippal mumbled under his breath.
Kerri went into the bathroom to get changed and when she got dressed she look over her self in the clothes, or I should say, lack there of. Rikku had gotten her a very short demin skirt and a really tight, really low cut, hot pink shirt that said 'if you want me- you'll have to catch me first.' Wow how am I supposed to go out in this?
Rikku popped her head into the bathroom, "Ker?"
"Yea, Rikku?"
She took a step into the bathroom and shut the door behind her. "You ready?"
"I can't go out like this."
Rikku put her hands on her hips. "And why not?"
Kerri walked out of the stall and said, "Cause I have, like, no clothes on."
"Ker, you look awesome."
"No." Kerri went to walk back into the stall, but Rikku grabbed her wrist.
"Here, I'll prove it." Rikku dragged Kerri out of the bathroom into the hallway where Gippal was standing, alone.
"Gippal, doesn't care look hot?" Rikku asked him.
Gippal turned around and his mouth practically dropped to the floor. Hot, doesn't begin to describe it. Kerri twirled for him and he read the shirt. He smirked it made him think of what was supposed to happen in the sphere pool. "You look great," he finally said.
Rikku pushed Kerri, "See, Ker, if Gippal said you look great, then you must be looking really fine."
Kerri laughed and Gippal said, "Alright well Tidus, Wakka, and Baralai are outside so let's go, ladies."
"Okidooki," Rikku said skipping out the door. After Rikku skipped out the door Gippal turned to Kerri, "You really do look good."
She smiled, "thanks and you don't look so bad your self." Kerri wasn't lying when she said that either. He had on these dark navy blue pants that fit him perfectly, they weren't tight and they weren't baggy either. He had on this baby blue T-shirt that showed off all his muscles.
When they went outside Tidus was talking. "ok, well we have three cars. Mine, Wakka's and Baralai's- So how do you want to do this. 2-2-2 or 3-3 and we leave a car here?"
"Let's do it 2-2-2, that way we don't have to come back for one car," Baralai said.
"Sounds good to me!" Rikku shouted as she ran over to Wakka's car, Gippal got in Tidus' car and Kerri went with Baralai.
Tidus pulled up along side Baralai's car rolled down the window and ask, "Perkins?"
"Sure," Baralai responded.
Tidus rolled up the window, looked at Gippal, and smiled.
Gippal gave him a dirty look. "What?"
"What was that sphere pool incident all about?" Tidus asked raising an eyebrow.
Gippal looked out the window. "She said she's never been in one before so, I told her that would have to change. I didn't expect her to drag me in with her."
"I'm sure you minded too."
Gippal turned and glared at him, "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Looks like you were having a little fun with her."
Gippal rolled his eyes, "Grow up, man. Nothing happened."
"If you say so."
(Baralai's Car)
"So what happened? I asked Rikku, but you know her, she was speaking way too fast for me to understand. The only thing I heard was Kerri, Gippal, Wet, and New Clothes. To say the least I was a little unnerved by those words used in the same sentence," Baralai questioned Kerri.
Kerri laughed. "Well, Gippal thought I was deprived since I had never been in a sphere pool. So he took it upon himself to fulfill my life by pushing me in the pool. Only thing I grabbed him and dragged him in too."
"And you aren't mad anymore?"
"Nah, we forgave each other."
"Well that's good and you never did tell me why you were mad at him."
Kerri then went on to explain what had happened earlier in Al Bhed and lunch.
"Wow, just wow." Baralai responded.
"Yea, I know, but its ok. We made up. So sall good." Kerri told him
The three cars pulled up to Perkins and everyone filed into the diner. "Six" Baralai told the hostess. She took the over to a booth. It was Tidus, Rikku, and Baralai on one side and Wakka, Kerri, and Gippal on the other side.
Everyone was looking over the menus when Gippal grabbed Kerri's and said, "Ew, mine's dirty. Give me yours."
"Alright!" Kerri opened the menu; only there was no menu. "What the hell?"
Gippal looked over at her menu, "Gee, someone must have taken the pages out of the menus."
She glared at him and he just shot her back a smirk. "I hate you."
He smirked and said, "Ya know, you say that, but I don't think you mean it."
Tidus looked over at Kerri and Gippal and said, "What is it now?"
Kerri tossed Tidus the menu and said, "open it." He opened it and laughed, "you're so stupid, Gippal."
"Well can I see a 'stupid' menu, please?" Kerri asked.
Baralai handed Kerri a menu, "Here, Ker, I know what I want.
Suddenly Kerri jumped, "Ow!"
"What now, ya?"
Kerri smacked his arm, "he kicked me!"
"Do we have to separate you two?" Rikku asked.
Gippal looked at Rikku with a puppy dogface on and said in a baby voice, "O No. Please! We'll be good, mommy, I promise!"
Gippal jumped. "Ow! She pinched me!"
Kerri shrugged her shoulder, "I don't know what you're talking – ow!" She turned and punched Gippal in the arm. "Jerk!"
"Ow." He hit her back.
"Ok, children. That's it, Kerri, switch seats with Wakka." Tidus said.
Kerri stood up. "Gladly!"
Rikku sniggered at their behavior. "They fight like they've known each other for ever."
"Yea I noticed," Baralai responded.
Kerri sat with her arms and legs crossed tapping her foot in the table leg. Ugh, I can't stand him.
Gippal leaned over the table and looked at Kerri. He then said in a babyish voice, "Aw, is our wittle baby Kerri mad?"
Kerri turned and glared daggers at him. Then through clenched teeth she replied, "Shove it, Gippal."
"Oh, well, that's not very nice," Gippal said while pushing Wakka into Kerri, knocking her out of the booth onto the floor.
Kerri stood up, threw her hands into the air, and said, "Forget it! I'm not hungry! I'll be outside!" She then stormed out of the restaurant.
Tidus got up out of his seat and said, "Well your on a roll today, Gippal." When Tidus exited the restaurant he found Kerri sitting on the ground with her legs curled up to her chest and her head resting on her knees. "I thought you were going to run away again."
She was startled and jerked her head in his direction. She then smiled and said, "I promised I wouldn't do that again."
Tidus returned the smiled and asked, "You going to come back in?"
Kerri shook her head no.
"Com'on, Ker. Please?"
She looked straight ahead and said, "No."
Tidus put his hands on his head and said, "Do I have to carry you in?"
Kerri looked up at him and squinted from the glare of the sun. She then warned him, "Try that, and I'll bite you."
Tidus scratched the back of his head and said. "Um, I didn't know I was friend with a cannibal."
She let out a soft laugh and rolled her eyes.
Tidus then bent down and was eye level with her. "Please come in," he said while giving her the puppy-dog eyes.
Kerri hesistated and finally said, "Fine… But. I sit in your seat."
"Deal," Tidus stuck out his hand and they shook on it.
Tidus then helped Kerri up off the floor and they entered the restaurant. Kerri sat next to Rikku and Tidus sat next to Wakka. Rikku kicked Gippal and said, "Now what do you have to say for yourself, you big meanie?"
Gippal cleared his throat. "I am a big meanie and I apologize because I should be nice and not act like the poopie head that I really am."
Kerri could barely contain her laughter. That's definitely a Rikku apology.
"Alright I forgive you, AGAIN! But next time, I'm just going to have to kick your but in front of all your friends," Kerri said with a smirk.
"Ok, well, now that, that's solved- can we order now?" Wakka asked.
"Yeppers!" Kerri exclaimed.
The rest of time spent at the restaurant was mainly uneventful. Rikku was doing most of the talking, most of it incoherent, and for the most part everyone had a good time. When everyone was done eating, they got their stuff together, paid for their meals, and left.
"Come on Rikku, I'll drive you home," Baralai offered.
" 'Kay!" Rikku exclaimed.
"Well, I'll drive Gippal home, ya?"
"And I've got Kerri," Tidus said.
Everyone was hugging and kissing each other goodbye and Kerri had said bye to Wakka, Baralai, and Rikku. She then went to say bye to Gippal. He held his hands up and said, "Truce?"
Kerri smirked and said, "Sure"
Gippal smiled and hugged her goodbye. As Kerri was pulling out of the hug Gippal snapped her bra, jumped into Wakka's car, winked and said, "See ya tomorrow, sweet cheeks."
Basterd. She smirked and gave him the middle finger. When Kerri got in Tidus' car he smiled at her.
"What?"
"Geez, I got the same response from Gippal before," Tidus said.
Kerri raised an eyebrow at him, "so?"
Tidus shrugged, "Nothing."
Kerri shook her head and said, "Whatever, Tidus."
Then to change subject Tidus asked her is she was coming over tomorrow.
"Sure am."
"Great!"
When they pulled up to Yuna's house, Yuna was sitting on the porch swing.
"Hey Yuna!" Kerri shouted from the car window.
She waved. "Hey Kerri, Tidus, how was dinner?"
"To say the least, it was interesting," Kerri said as Tidus was putting the car in park.
"hmm what happened now?"
"Well, number 1, my outfit," Kerri got out of the car to show Yuna what Rikku had gotten her to wear.
"Ok, so it's a little revealing, but it looks good," Yuna reassured Kerri.
"Alright, and number 2, Gippal and still being stupid."
Yuna smiled, "yea and what else is new?"
"Well this time he knocked Ker out of the booth onto the floor," Tidus told her.
"Aw, that is so mean!"
Kerri then added, "And he's a little perve. He snapped my bra!"
Tidus turned to her, "And you didn't slap him for that?"
"Well, it was so random that by the time I realized what happened he was in Wakka's car, so I just gave him the finger."
"Yea, that taught him," Tidus said sarcastically.
"Ok, well, anyway, I need to shower and do homework, so I'm going to go, kay?" Kerri said.
Yuna nodded and Tidus gave her a hug goodbye. Yuna then turned to Tidus, "Speaking of Gippal, what happened after the sphere pool? Did Kerri, like, kill him?"
"No, but I think there is a little more going on there than those two are willing to share," Tidus said.
Yuna looked surprised. What? Between Kerri and Gippal?"
"I think so, Watch them closely next time they're together."
"Hmm, Ok, well I will, but I should get in, so I'll talk to you tomorrow.
"Bye," Tidus kissed Yuna on the cheek and walked to his car.
Yuna touched her cheek and said, "Bye."
