Chapter 14

Only two chapters after this one! And then maybe...maybe a sequal, but I'm still trying to decide wether I should or not. Anyway I'll let you get to the story and hopfully you'll review me!

The next morning on the Celsius Paine walked over to Rikku's bed to see if she was awake. Paine picked up the note and read it. She hustled into the bridge and let everyone read it. Meanwhile on the boat to Kilika an exhausted Rikku finally woke up. She sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

"You up kid?" Gippal asked poking his head in.

"Uh-huh," Rikku moaned.

Gippal walked over to Rikku and sat next to her on the edge of the bed, "Man you went out like a light last night."

Rikku glanced over and smiled. Finally the boat docked and Rikku looked out and saw a man on the dock with a costume on.

"That must be Nooj," Rikku thought to herself, "Hey Gippal, why do we have to where costumes?"

Gippal walked up behind her and helped adjust her costume, "To hide our identity."

Gippal and Rikku walked up to Nooj who was waiting impatiently for them, "What took you so long? I was expecting you sometime last night."

"Sorry the kid went to sleep," Gippal pointed over to Rikku.

Oh, I see. Let's go!" Nooj commanded.

They walked up the dock, and onto another boat that would take them to Luca. Once the boat docked they headed for the Mi'ihen Highroad until they met up with Rin.

"Hello," Rin greeted.

"Hey," Rikku yawned.

Nooj walk in front of Rikku and asked, "Do you have a place we can stay the night "

"Yes, this way," Rin said walking towards the travel agency.

"What's up with all the machina laying around?" Rikku questioned.

"We are fixing them," Rin replied, "But my security cameras still work."

Finally they reached the travel agency, Rin showed Gippal and Nooj to their room and Rikku to her own room. Rikku went outside and looked out to the sea, the sunsets light reflecting of the calm water. Gippal shortly joined her, and they both sat down in the grass and held hands,Rikku looked over at Gippal. Gippal glaced back,Gippal leaned in close to Rikku, Rikku did the same and as they closed their eyes, "Hey kiddos its past your bedtime, we're getting up early and I don't want anyone complaining of how tired they are," Nooj sarcastically said.

Gippal sighed and stood up. They both walked into the travel agency holding hands. Gippal gave Rikku a good night kiss and left Rikku right outside her bedroom door. Rikku opened the door and went into her room, flopping on the bed. She was glad to have her own room because she knew that Gippal snored, at that thoughtshe rolled over and fell asleep. The next morning Rikku was woken up by the rays of the sun peeking through the leaves of the bush. When Rikku opened her eyes she was in the arms of Gippal who was also asleep snoring softly. Nooj, before long woke up and looked over at Gippal and Rikku, Rikku just smiled. Nooj pushed Gippal over waking him up.

"What did you do that for!" Gippal angrily asked. Nooj just pointed at Rikku, "Oh, sorry."

"It's okay," Rikku laughed, "What happened last night anyway?"

"Well soldiers came scurrying up the road searching for you so Gippal ran to wake you up, but you didn't responded so he picked you up and carried you here," Nooj explained the short and to the point.

They heard distant gunfire. Gippal, Nooj and Rikku stood up and started racing towards Djose, Rikku looked behind her and there were the soldiers about five feet away, she reached into her pocket and threw a smoke bomb at them.

"Dang girl your loaded!" Gippal panted.

They kept running through Djose and onto the Moonflow. As they reached the Shoopuf to ask the driver to get on Nooj looked to his side and saw the soldiers approaching fast. Nooj budged in front of Gippal and forced the Hypello to give them a ride, they had no time to argue over a pety ride to the other side of the Moonflow. Nooj looked behind the Shoopuf to see the soldiers cursing at them as they left.

Next Chapter: Nooj, Gippal and Rikku head towards Bevelle. But will Nooj and Gippal keep Rikku around? And if they do dump her, will she return to a pissed off Paine?
Hey, thanks!
