The past two hours had been a drag...It involved, Tidus scaring everyone to death with his mad short turns, Paine constantly yelling at him, Yuna trying to defend Tidus, and Rikku playing around with all of the buttons in the front. Gippal was constantly trying to fix his hair in the back also. That left Baralai bored as ever...
"WHEEEE!" Rikku said happily tapping in buttons on the CD Player as a CD came out, Rikku then pressed it again and the CD went in! "This is SO COOL!"
"I know!" Tidus shouted turning on the radio.
"Are we there yet?" Baralai moaned from the back.
"We're are now apparently ten thousand miles away from Killika Temple!" Rikku added.
"WHAT!" Everyone in the backseat yelled.
"Oh my mistake, I meant two miles."
"Whew..." everyone in the back said, relieved.
"See? This isn't so bad..." Yuna said trying to remain optimistic.
"Yet." Paine muttered.
"Guys, I'm going to go and take a shortcut ok?" Tidus suggested in the front.
"NO!"
"It'll save us more time!"
"NO!"
"C'mon!"
"NOO!"
"Whatever! I'm doing it anyways!"
"I guess there's not point in stopping him..." Paine muttered as Tidius made a really sharp turn, they where in now what appeared to be the woods-again. An hour later, the group decided that they where lost, everyone could swear that they had seen the same trees, bridge, and places for the fifth time. The group in the back was watching Legally Blonde.
"Rikku, check the GPS system, we seriously need help." Paine said getting annoyed at Tidus's driving as he made another sharp turn.
"Why are we watching Legally Blonde?" Baralai asked Gippal curiously.
"SHHHH!" Gippal shushed Baralai who rolled his eyes.
"It's a good movie!" Rikku and Yuna chirped in.
"No, the movie sucks..." Gippal said, then went back to watching it intently as everyone giggled.
Four more minutes went by...There seemed to be no progress in taking the route.
"Rikku, can you please check the GPS system? I'm not so sure about this..." Baralai suggested.
"Ok!" Rikku said happily as she leaned over and punched in a few directions. "TURN ON!" Rikku pouted after getting no results. Frustrated, Rikku pounded onto the screen, therefore cracking it...The screen then shut down..
"Uh oh..." Rikku muttered.
"What's wrong?" Yuna asked worridly.
"The GPS won't turn on! It's broken!" Rikku said.
"Then we'll have to rely on my fabulous senses of direction and shortcuts!" Tidus added going a little slower now.
"NOOOO!" Everyone in the back complained.
"WHAT!" Baralai yelled, "The GPS BROKE!"
"And you wonder why this car was free..." Paine muttered.
"Hey, I'm sure that nothing will go wrong..." Tidus said trying to calm everyone down.
"In case you didn't notice, we saw a BEAR last night here and a few coyotes!" Rikku snapped still scared of that.
"Yes, I know, and rabbits." Tidus added shuddering.
"Rabbits are cute!" Yuna and Rikku squealed.
"Yeah right," Tidus said as he was nearing a little river path now, Tidus then made yet again another sharp turn to avoid it. As if on cue, his cell phone started to ring, Tidus then picked it up to see who had called.
"Ti, BOTH hands on the wheel!" Baralai yelled as Tidus took off his other hand of the wheel to wave them off.
"Oh! This part is SO funny!" Gippal said not paying attention to Tidus or anyone else's reaction, instead, focused on the movie.
"TIDUS! SERIOUSLY!" Paine and Yuna screamed now. "BOTH HANDS!"
"Oh! I wanna see!" Tidus said turning around to trying to see the screen as Yuna took her hands to cover their eyes, this was suicide...
"Guys, It's nothing!" Tidus said still watching the scene on the screen. "It's a straight road, noth---"
"TIDIUS! BOITH HANDS AND EYES ON THE WHEEL!" Gippal yelled as he noticed that to begin with, there was no driver and Rikku was trying her hardest to lean over to take the wheel.
"AND WATCH OUT FOR THAT TREE!" Baralai added now pointing a tree ahead of them, just great, a dead end, Killika had to really rethink their parking structures. Rikku took off her seat belt and literally pushed Tidus off of the drivers' seat.
"Huh?" Tidus said as Rikku regained her strength from somewhere and knocked Tidus over the drivers seat. Rikku then stomped on the break to stop the car a feet away from the tree.
"Everyone ok?" Rikku asked as everyone nodded.
"Tidus! I'm driving!" Baralai said taking off his seat belt and climbing to the front.
"Baralai! You're the slowest driver!" Gippal added also taking off his seat belt and climbing to the front.
"Well you speed a lot!" Baralai said.
"I'll drive then," Paine added trying to push the two boys back.
"Guys! You can't do this!" Tidus added hanging up this cell phone, it turned out to be a call about the latest Blitzball updates.
"GET OUT OF THE CAR!" Everyone yelled as Yuna and Rikku giggled.
"I wonder what THIS button does!" Rikku said pressing the air freshener button as a flowery sweet smell exploded from the car. All of the boys then hacked and cough at this.
"EW! WHAT IS THAT!" Tidus and Baralai exclaimed.
"Oh! It's that one Love Spell thing from Victoria's Secret!" Gippal pointed out as the girls stared at him. "Uh...GET OUT TIDUS!" Gippal added.
"And he wonders why he never got his license..." Paine muttered.
"You can't do this!" Tidus yelled hugging on to the drivers seat as everyone tried to pull him off. "THIS IS MUTNEY! I"M THE DRIVER!"
"Perhaps you should just get out of the car..." Yuna added getting shoved to the side from all of the commotion, it was really hard to get a camera angel now...
"OUT!" Baralai snapped as he got a hold of Tidus right arm as Paine go this left. This now looked like a game of Tug of War.
A very odd thing happened to Gippal too. Gippal then grabbed Rikku's purse and whacked/swung it at Tidus continuously.
Everyone immediately let go of Tidus who fell to the floor outside of the car.
"Wow! I knew I was loved!" Tidus said smiling widely, then remembering how he fell out, Tidus added, "Did you just hit me with Rikku's purse!"
"Uh..." Gippal tried to hide Rikku's purse, so he flung it back into the car.
"HEY!" Rikku pouted.
Paine managed to open the door as Yuna nearly fell out from being crammed.
"This is mutney!" Tidus yelled helping Rikku off the ground as everyone rolled their eyes. Gippal and Baralai then headed to the front of the car to see the damage, luckily nothing was damaged.
"Car's alright, nothing big." Rikku said after checking on the car.
"Are we there yet?" Yuna asked.
"We're in a parking lot..." Baralai muttered.
"YAY!" Tidus yelled as everyone started at him. "Do you know what this means!"
"Our trip just got way more expensive, and we might get put in jail because you didn't have a license to drive in the first place and now you nearly crashed the car?" Baralai shouted quickly.
"Nope! That means we can trade the car!" Tidus yelled happily. "No more pink car!"
"YES!" All of the boys and Paine yelled once again giving each other high fives.
"NO!" Yuna and Rikku sobbed and pouted.
"We'll get an even better car then this!" Gippal said trying to comfort the girls.
"Can it be pink?" Rikku asked.
"haha...No." Gippal said getting creeped out from all of the pinkness in the day coming up to the car again and examining it.
Temple
"THIS IS IT!" Gippal said running up the long sets of stairs leading to Killika Temple and Gift Shop. "NO MORE PINK HAIR! WHOO HOO!"
"NO!" Rikku said running up the stairs after him. "I liked the pink hair!"
"Try doing it on your hair then!"
"Slow down!" Yuna gasped form behind everyone.
"Slowpoke!" Rikku taunted.
"No, that would be Painey!" Yuna said noticing that Paine was the only one that was walking up the stairs.
"Aw...C'mon Paine! Hurry up!" Baralai said from the top of the stairs.
From all of the running and excitment, Gippal then ran straight into a bulky figure known as Barthello, and he was with his wife, Dona. Dina could seriously give you an attitude, and Barthello was dense half of the time...they did make an interesting couple though...
"Watch it." Dona said coldly at Gippal.
"Barthello? Dona?"
"Gippal?"
There was a moment of silence as everyone in the group recognized each other, then Barthello burst into laughter as Dona followed.
"What's so funny?"
"I"M HERE!" Yuna said cheering and jumping up and down. "YES!"
"I got here first!" Baralai bragged near the Temple's entrance.
"No I did!" Tidus exclaimed halfway up the entrance.
"Nuh uh!" Rikku countered catching up with Gippal.
As everyone noticed Dona and Barthello they walked back down the stairs and said Hi.
"I'm not sure, Cowboy is exactly your thing..." Dona trailed off. "Machina Faction Leader not a good enough job for you?"
"His hair is pink." Paine and Tidus said at the same time.
"Pink?" Barthello asked. "can I see?"
"No!"
"Please?"
"No!"
"He said please." Dona said.
"Well, Gippal is too embarrassed to show off his lovely pink hair!" Rikku said coming to Gippal's side.
"I'm not embarrassed!"
"Yeah you are, Gippy."
"Gippy?" Barthello laughed. "I never thought you'd two would get together..."
"We're not!" Rikku and Gippal said at the same time as everyone giggled.
"Well, if you ever do, then tell us. You guys would make a rather cute couple..." DOne trailed off walking down the stairs. "And I like you other look better without the cowboy costume."
"And don't get lost like last time!" Barthello added.
"That was SO Tidus's fault!" Baralai yelled.
"Nuh uh!"
"Yea huh!"
Dona rolled her eyes and walked off as Barthello followed and Gippal sped towards the souvenir shop and hair salon.
Hair Salon
"So, you want to make your hair another shade of pink?" The barber asked.
"NO! I want it to be blonde!" Gippal protested.
"He really means hot pink." Rikku added.
"Yep! I know! Wait..."
"I thought you wanted to make it green?" Baralai added.
"Nope! Pink!"
"You mean purple..." Paine suggested.
"You betcha!"
"No! Rainbow!" Yuna suggested.
"Ok!"
"MAKE UP YOUR MIND!" The Barber shouted.
"Ok, he wants it to be blonde again, basically he got pink hair due in his hair, and it's altering his personality! I mean he whacked me with her purse!" Tidus said pointing to Rikku who laughed.
"It's scaring us now...It was ALOT worse a few hours ago though!" Baralai added.
"But overall it was really funny!" Rikku put in.
The barber was staring at Gippal really weirdly now. "Ok...Just come this way..." she said as she led him to an empty chair.
"How long is this going to take?" Paine asked.
"Five hours tops..." The Lady replied.
"FIVE HOURS! We're supposed to be in Luca in three hours or our boat trip is DOOMED FOR!" Baralai shouted.
"I'm NOT going on ANY boat with this hair!" Gippal replied.
"Then I suggest you'll have to run..." The lady said smiling. "Or get an alternative."
