Thoughts
(Al Bhed translation)
Chapter 5:
"Marco!" Tidus called out.
"POLO!" the other 3 replied in unison.
"Aha!" Tidus exclaimed, grabbing Yuna by the shoulder. He felt her head. "Gippal? Is that you?"
Yuna giggled, disguising her voice. "Yes Tidus! I mean...no, this is your mind talking! You didn't catch anyone...you're hallucinating... now...release whatever you hold in your hand!"
"Y-Yes Mr. Mind, sir." Tidus obeyed, releasing Yuna out of his group.
Rikku giggled as she slid out of the pool. Gippal watched her discretely from the corner of his eye as she dried off. "Rud..." (Hot...) he murmured in awe, watching her every move.
Tidus snickered before poking Yuna. "Hey Yuna," he laughed, "check out Gippal."
"Why? Is he alright?" Yuna asked with a confused look, "I-oh." She giggled as the two teenagers watched Gippal stare at Rikku.
"Is she trying to tan?" Tidus frowned, looking at Rikku, who was laid down on a lawn chair not too far from them.
"I think so," Yuna giggled. "Hey Rix!" she called with a giggle, "It's night time, Rix... you can't tan at night!"
Rikku made no sound back
Yuna frowned as she climbed out of the pool and walked over to her cousin. "Rix?" she asked quietly and a bit anxiously.
"Mmmm Gippal..." the blonde sighed dreamily in her sleep. "I wuv yoo..."
Oh... Yuna smiled to herself. How sweet. Good thing I got to her before Gippal or Tidus. "Hey guys!" she smiled. "I think Rikku got a bit tired... what say we bring her into the house and then we wait for Baralai and Paine to get back? Then we can wake up Rikku...speaking of which, can one of you carry her?"
"I will," Gippal volunteered as he picked up the sleeping girl gingerly.
"Yuna and I will be out here for a few minutes...we'll join you later," Tidus smiled at Gippal with a discrete wink, which Yuna didn't see.
Gippal winked back with a chuckle as he opened the door quietly and walked through it.
She's so...fragile and beautiful...kinda like a flower... Gippal thought with a small, sweet smile as he shut the glass door gently and carefully behind him. He walked towards the couch in the living room and laid her down gently. Why are we still like kids? Will we ever grow up? She's grown into this beautiful young woman, but yet she's still like a kid...Rikku...can't you tell what hell you're putting me through? He sighed, running a hand through his sun blonde hair.
Too bad you hate me now. The man thought sadly as he peered at the girl and sat across the room from her, picking up his cell phone.
--
"I agree most definitely! Gippal and Rikku make the perfect couple!" Baralai chuckled along with Paine who had cracked a small joke about the two Al Bhed.
"So do Tidus and Yuna," Paine chided, "they're meant to be...the kind and the ditz. In that relationship, the girl is mostly to be in control...and I mean Yuna." She added snidely with a laugh.
Baralai smiled. This is the Paine I want to know better. He thought with a smile as he saw a small grin tug at Paine's lips.
Paine stopped laughing when she noticed Baralai had been staring at her. She flushed slightly, "Umm...is...there something wrong with my face?"
"No...it's just...I've never seen you smile..." Baralai said, smiling at her brightly, "you should do it more often! You...you look pretty." He stuttered out.
Paine flushed deeper. He thinks I'm pretty...? Well...uhh... "Thanks...I guess I will." She took him off guard.
"What? You're not going to hit me?" Baralai asked with a dumbfounded look.
"No, Baralai..." Paine laughed with a roll of her eyes. You're getting so weak and ditzy...all those times you've poked fun at Yuna and Rikku for it...hypocrite.
Shut up...he likes this side of me better...
How do YOU know?
Will you shut up?
MAKE ME!
Paine growled to herself, refraining from yelling at her stupid voices in her head as Rikku had did a few days before.
Baralai blushed red. She's...so perfect. Marry me, Paine! He smiled to himself as he chuckled lightly to himself. He blinked when, 'The Reason' on his cell phone started to play. That's Gippal's ring tone! He rose an eyebrow as he answered the phone, "Yes, Gippal?"
"Hey Baralai," Gippal smirked on the other line, "How's Mt. Getyerfreakon?"
"Oh shut up," Baralai laughed, "It's so cold up here, man..."
Gippal snickered before smiling, "Do me a favor, will you? Tell Paine about the road trip! Oh, Wakka and Lulu are coming along too."
"Alright...see you Gippal."
"See you guys! Come back a man, Baralai!" Gippal snickered before hanging up the phone.
Baralai turned beet red. THAT PERVERT! He's going to get it this time...
--
"Zyaochsdthc?"
Tidus snickered, hearing Yuna's best Al Bhed impression. "Is that even a word?" he asked her, an amused look on his face.
"I...well...no...hey! Shut up!" she laughed as she splashed him slightly. She stuck her tongue out at him, "Let's see you try!"
"Alright...E muja oui!" (I love you!) Tidus answered immediately. He then clasped his hand over his mouth, hoping that the brunette did not know any of the basic Al Bhed. He had picked some up from Gippal.
"Huh?" Yuna blinked, "I've heard that before...wow! Do you really know Al Bhed?" she inquired, tilting her head slightly at him.
"U...Uh no...I...I just heard Gippal say it before." He lied.
"Oh, okay!" Yuna giggled, "Speaking of Gippal...what do you think he's doing in there?" she asked, turning her gaze to the house.
"Probably trying to hypnotize Rikku into liking him," Tidus chuckled.
"They're very cute together!" Yuna nodded, "So...wanna head inside in like, 5 minutes...?"
"Yeah." Tidus replied as he climbed out of the pool. He stared at Yuna climb gracefully out of the pool. He watched her do a model-like swing of her wet hair and grab a white towel. He felt like drooling.
"Tidus...are you okay? Did you swallow some water out of the pool and now you're like...getting rid of it in some odd way?" Yuna asked curiously, watching the blonde soccer player start a new Hoover Dam.
"Uh...no...and hey, Yuna...take off your towel for a minute?"
"Um okay." Yuna removed her towel and blinked, wondering why Tidus wasn't wearing one.
"Wanna play one last game of War?" he grinned.
Yuna looked inside the house before smirking. "You're on!" she giggled as she tackled him into the pool.
--
Gippal turned his head when he heard Rikku mutter something. He whirled around and walked across the room to her.
Her eyes fluttered open, and shimmering emerald swirls peered at him.
"Rao, Bnehlacc..." (Hey, Princess...) Gippal smiled gently at her.
"Gippal...? Fro ys E rana?" (Gippal...? Why am I here?) Rikku asked, a confused look on her face as she sat up on the couch.
Gippal sat next to her. "Oui vamm ycmaab uidceta frah fa fana eh dra buum... Yuna yht Tidus yna eh dra pylgoynt, cdemm vmendehk-E sayh, ryhkehk uid fedr ayir udran. E jumihdaanat du fydlr oui." (You fell asleep outside when we were in the pool...Yuna and Tidus are in the backyard, still flirting- I mean, hanging out with each other. I volunteered to watch you.) he explained, running a hand through his hair.
"Ur...dryhgc..." (Oh...thanks...) Rikku smiled at him gently. Why am I so mean to him? She asked herself with a sigh.
"Iss...Rikku...E ryja y xiacdeuh...ajan cehla fa pnuga ib dryd cissan...ryja oui...tydat yhouha amca?" (Umm...Rikku...I have a question...ever since we broke up that summer...have you...dated anyone else?) Gippal asked softly. Ugh...stupid...of course she has...but do you really want to know...?
"Hu...Pid mad sa kiacc, oui ryt duhc yht duhc." (No...but let me guess, you've had tons and tons.)
"Hud aqyldmo...E yldiymmo hajan tydat cusauha yvdan oui." (Not exactly...I never dated anyone after you.) Gippal admitted.
"Fryd?!" (What?!) Rikku exclaimed.
"Dryd'c nekrd. E cbahd ymm so desa fyedehk vun oui...iss...Ec drana y lryhla padfaah ic cdemm?" (That's right. I spent all my time waiting for you...umm...is there a chance between us still?) the Al Bhed man asked hopefully.
Rikku stared at him. He never...dated anyone else? He still wants me...? "Gippal, E-" (Gippal, I-) She started, but stopped mid-sentence as she saw Yuna and Tidus walk in, giggling like children.
"Hello children," Gippal greeted.
"Rikku! You're up already? It's only been 15 minutes since you fell asleep..."
"15 minutes? So...are Baralai and Paine here yet?"
"No. They're still got another half hour at Mt. Getyerfreakon." Tidus chided with a wicked grin.
"Wonder what they're doing there..." Yuna pondered, giggling.
Gippal rolled his eyes, "Yuna, what ELSE do you do at Mt. Getyerfreakon?"
"So Gippal," Tidus coughed. "Are we doing anything this weekend?"
"Oh!" Gippal laughed. "Of course...uhh...Baralai, Tidus, Wakka and I...see, since school is over and stuff...and summer is like...boring here...ahh...you guys wanna go on a road trip? It will be able to help Yuna, Baralai, Tidus and Paine to get to know each other better...and...well..." the man scratched his head nervously. "Well...we can all chip in money...plus, my dad is like...loaded, so I'm paying for MOST of it. I was planning for us to drive to California...then take a cruise to Hawaii..."
Rikku's head snapped up as soon as he said 'Hawaii'. "Y nuyt dneb...? Du...Hawaii?" (A road trip...? To...Hawaii?) She stared at him blankly. "Vun naym?! Are you insane?! Pylg rusa!?" (For real?! Are you insane?! Back home?!)
Yuna and Tidus watched as the girl switched on and off from Al Bhed. "Gippal, oui GHUF fryd Brother femm tu ev ra caac oui ykyeh! FRANA eh Hawaii yna fa kuehk?" (Gippal, you KNOW what Brother will do if he sees you again! WHERE in Hawaii are we going?)
Gippal nervously ran his hand through his silky hair before backing away slightly. "Uhh...Maui."
Rikku blinked as she stared at him, "Where we lived?" she rolled her eyes as she chuckled. "Oui'na hud funneat ypuid so pnudran yddasbdehk du lryca oui fedr myfh sufan ykyeh?" (You're not worried about my brother attempting to chase you with that lawn mower again?)
Gippal smiled gallantly at her, "That was only twice...and...I'd do anything for you." He winked.
The girl blushed heavily as she turned away from his gaze. "Tuh'd pa cemmo." (Don't be silly.)
With a smirk, the man replied, "E ys dryd cemmo." (I am that silly.) he chuckled as he saw the Al Bhed girl blush heavier.
"...Fine. I'm in. Only if Yunie and Paine go!"
"I'm all for it," Yuna smiled, "As long as Paine goes."
Suddenly, American Idiot by Green Day started playing from a cell phone...Gippal immediately recognized it as Baralai's ring tone. "Hello?"
"Hey Gippal!" Baralai smiled, "Paine says she's all for it, as long as Yuna and Rikku are in."
"Alright then ladies," Gippal grinned as he hung up the phone, "We've got ourselves a road trip! We're leaving this Saturday...today is Thursday. So you have a day to pack and get ready."
--
It's now the next day. Paine is sitting in her room, thinking of the moment between her and Baralai at Mt. Getyerfreakon.
Rikku is in her room, thinking of why she is so mean to Gippal.
Yuna is singing while cooking lunch, thinking of what fun she and Tidus had in the pool last night.
She blinked as Tidus's ring tone (which she had got yesterday), Lose it by Eminem started to play. "Hello?" she asked, skillfully flipping the food in the pan.
"Hey Yuna...ahh...Gippal wants to know if you guys wanna go to Club Flash around 10:00 PM tonight."
"Hold on," Yuna called throughout the house. "RIKKUUUUUU! PAINEEEEEEEE!"
"WHAT!?!" Both voice replied loudly from their rooms...this is how things went around the house. Meanwhile, Tidus was trying oh so hard not to go death.
"TIDUS WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANNA GO TO CLUB FLASH AT 10:00 PM TONIGHT!"
"WHAT?!!?!?" both voices replied.
Yuna sighed and rolled her eyes as she screamed as loud as possible, "TIDUS WANTS TO KNOW IF YOU GUYS WANT TO GO TO CLUB FLASH TONIGHT AT 10:00 PM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"OKAY!!" both voice replied in unison again.
Tidus winced, holding his best friend, his ear, in his hand. "It's okay," he cooed. "Everything will be alright," he said to his ear, clutching it in his hand.
--
"WHOA! Check out Paine!" Rikku giggled as she saw her friend emerge from her room in a black dress that stopped at her mid-calf, along with a black choker and black high heels.
"Shut up," Paine warned her.
"Is that makeup!?" Yuna exclaimed, looking at her friend, "Paine?! YOU'RE wearing MAKEUP!?"
"You never wear makeup!" Rikku frowned.
"W-Well...I...I...whatever!" Paine walked away into the kitchen.
"Rikku! You look so nice!" Yuna exclaimed with a smile as she looked at her friend. Rikku wore a yellow short dress that also stopped mid-calf, with a silver necklace. She grabbed her white purse and yellow high heels.
Yuna wore a dark blue halter top with a few white frills at the bottom. A black mini skirt and boots accompanied the outfit. "You too, Yuna!" Rikku smiled at her as she bounced into the kitchen. "Alright...so Gippal said two vehicles would be here to pick us up." Rikku explained and turned around as the doorbell rang. She opened the door, which revealed Gippal.
"Hey," he greeted lightly.
"Hi," she replied and looked at him. "Why do you have a motorcycle helmet...?"
"Because it is so hot and sexy in this time of the year," Gippal rolled his eyes, "Cuz you and me are biking our way to the club."
"Why me?!" Rikku asked, as Gippal grabbed her by the wrist and led her towards his motorcycle.
"Cuz you're the best looking," Gippal smirked with a wink, "Now come on. Put on this hat..."
"It'll mess up my hair..." Rikku whined.
"Careful, or it'll mess up your head. Seriously."
"Okay, okay," she sighed as she slipped on the helmet.
"Now...grab my waist."
Rikku eyed him carefully. "If this is some stupid pick up line..."
"No, Rikku...come on." Gippal said seriously with a roll of his eyes as he mounted the motorcycle.
"Umm...are you insured?" the girl asked skeptically as she put on the helmet.
"I...uhh...well...no, not yet..."
"Gippal!"
"Cunno! Come on, the club is only about 10 minutes away from here...you ready?" (Sorry!) Gippal asked, looking over his shoulder at her.
"Yeah..." Rikku looked around hesitantly as she wrapped her arms uncomfortably around Gippal's waist.
Gippal smirked, "Then hang on, Princess!" he exclaimed as he zoomed off and towards the club.
--
"Show off," Tidus muttered under his breath as he watched Gippal and Rikku zoom away from Baralai's house window.
--
"Nooj!" Tidus called cheerfully, waving his hand at the bouncer excitedly.
Nooj smiled at Tidus and company. "Hey Gippal, Tidus, Baralai..." he paused before looking at the girls, "Oh...let me guess...you're Rikku and Paine," he said, smiling at the two girls.
Both girls nodded.
"And you must be Tiffany!" Nooj grinned, turning to Yuna.
Yuna frowned, "Um no."
"Angel?"
"No..."
"Dona?"
"No."
"Kalena!"
"No!"
"Oh, Laura."
"No!!"
"...Hailey?"
"NO!"
Tidus turned bright red as he cleared his throat, "Okay Nooj, um, that's Yuna."
Nooj blushed, "Ahh, I'm sorry Yuna. Tidus has so many friends, I can't keep track."
"It's okay," Yuna smiled softly at him, although on the inside, she was wondering if they were just really 'friends' to Tidus.
"Nooj, are you in, man?" Baralai asked, looking back at Nooj.
"For the trip?"
"Yeah."
"Yeah and LeBlanc's in too."
"Sweet!" Tidus cheered as he turned to the girls, "LeBlanc is Nooj's little love muffin," he snickered, seeing the bouncer turn bright red, "She's constantly calling him, 'Noojie-Woojie'," at this point, all the boys excluding Nooj shivered and snickered.
"Shut up!" Nooj rolled his eyes, "LeBlanc's tending tonight...why don't you guys go say hi." He suggested, jerking his head towards the club.
"Alright...see you tomorrow!" Gippal said as they all headed into the club.
The familiar tune of the remix of the Linkin Park song Numb Encore echoed throughout the club as the friends walked towards a bar with a neon blue light shining from the ground. "Hey LeBlanc!" Baralai waved and shouted as they edged closer.
"Ah! Hello, loves!" A tall blonde girl wearing a pink silk dress greeted the men, "So wonderful to see you—oh!" she smiled at the girls, "Brought some dates, have you?"
Both the girls and boys blushed as they all shook their heads and murmured a quiet, "N-No..."
"I'm Rikku, that's my friend Paine and that's my cousin Yuna!" Rikku, back to her bouncy self, greeted with a wave.
"Nice to meet you, loves. The name is LeBlanc." The blonde smiled sweetly. "Can I get you anything to drink?"
"Just a coke," Baralai said, "I'm the designated driver...and I'm driving tomorrow too."
"Alright then...oh, did Noojie-Woojie tell you that we'll tagging along on your trip?"
"Yup," Gippal nodded. "And Wakka and Lulu are coming as well."
"That's great, loves. Well, if that's all, I really must be getting back to work. It was lovely seeing you again and meeting you all. See you tomorrow," LeBlanc waved as she tended to the next costumer.
Tidus grinned as he ran out into the dance floor, starting to break dance like crazy.
"Uh oh," Gippal scowled, "T, Lai," he jerked his head in the direction of 3 young men. "Look who's here..."
Paine's eyes widened. Hetellio...?!
Rikku and Yuna gave each other looks of horror as they saw Hetellio inch his way over with two other men and 3 other girls.
"Hetellio, Zyach and Sidut...well, well..." Gippal smirked, running a hair through his hair, "What's shakin'?"
Paine shifted her gaze from Hetellio. He looks so...cute...but...I can't—no, I don't want him. I want...I want... she shifted her gaze to Baralai before hesitating. Just forget it.
Hetellio was tall and well built with spiked black hair. His dark stormy ocean blue eyes flickered slightly before they landed on Paine. "Well well...if it isn't my little Paine..."
Baralai's eyes flickered to a dark gaze as he stared angrily at Hetellio, "Back off," he hissed.
"Hold Paraguy," he said coolly, mimicking how Gippal usually ran his hand through his hair.
"Baralai," Baralai hissed, "Maybe you should get a brain and you'd know it."
"Oh, I'm shaking in my boots," the man said slyly as he shifted his gaze back to Paine. Two empty ruby eyes gazed back.
"What do you want?" Paine asked icily.
"How've you been? How's life been without this?" he asked, running his hands over his body.
Gippal snorted.
"Much better," Paine answered as she stared at him straight in the eyes, "Now why don't you go run along and find another girl to go sleep with while I wait at home?!" she screamed, shoving him away from her as she stared at him icily. She shifted her gaze away and walked over to the bar.
Hetellio sighed, "So Rikku...how did that kiss work out for you?" he asked, turning his gaze towards the Al Bhed girl, but yelping in shock as an ear piercing slap could be heard.
"Not good. Kinda like kissing a monkey," Rikku hissed as she pulled placed her hands on his shoulder and pulled him dangerously close to her, "But wait...that would be insulting the monkey." And with that, she kneed him where the sun doesn't shine. With an distinguished, "Hmph!" she stomped over to the bar.
Tidus, Gippal and Baralai were all very amused by this scene...then frightened when Yuna pulled out her Port-A-Bat.
"Yuna," Tidus grabbed her before she enabled Hetellio to have any children, "Don't waste your time on this loser." He snarled at Hetellio as the group of friends started to walk towards the bar again. Gippal smiled gallantly at one of the girls as she winked back at him...before he flicked her off.
"How rude!" Yuna scoffed as she sat in the swivel bar stool, "Trying to pick you up again, Paine!"
"Don't remind me," Paine groaned, "This day can't get any better." She said sarcastically as she laid her head on the bar counter.
"Poor love," LeBlanc sighed as she poured Paine a drink, "Here love, drink up...it's my specialty...and it's on the house." She said with a wink.
Paine smiled softly at her and nodded a "Thanks" to her as she took a sip of the drink, "This is good," she said with a blink. "What is it?"
"That's why it's LeBlanc's specialty!" Tidus chirped as LeBlanc giggled.
"That's right, love...so...bump into Hetellio and his group of skanks yet?" LeBlanc asked casually.
"Yeah...seems that the girls know him too," Baralai sighed heavily as he watched Paine, "Hey LeBlanc...is she supposed to turn green?"
"Umm," LeBlanc giggled nervously, "I don't think so."
"Paine? Paine, are you alright?" Baralai asked the girl as she looked at him sleepily.
"I think I'm..." Paine let out a heavy yawn as she fell off her stool. Without hesitating, Baralai instantly caught her.
"LeBlanc! Are there drugs in that drink!?" Gippal asked, turning to the blonde.
"No..." LeBlanc paused before gasping, "Oh no! I must of given her the drink I was going to give to the army of skanks...I'm so sorry, love!" she apologized, looking at Paine. "I was going to spike it, but instead I put sleeping pills...I'm so sorry!" she exclaimed.
"It's fine..." Baralai sighed, watching the sleeping/snoring Paine in his arms. He felt a small smile tug at his lips. "You guys go party...I'll take her home," he said.
"Okay...see you tomorrow, Lai." Tidus waved as Gippal nodded.
"Bye Baralai!" Yuna called as Rikku waved.
Baralai smiled and waved at them all as he carried Paine to the car. He smiled softly to himself as he moved a small strand of hair out of her face. Cherish this moment, Baralai...it may be the only time you get to hold her in your arms...

By: Gippel
Chapter 5: Why we all love Gippel
"Yunie," the most gorgeous girl Rikku poked her cousin. "I don't know why I haven't seen this side of Gippel before! He's so...hot!"
"Yeah he is, but for some reason I like Tidus" Yuna replied.
"Oh my god! There he is!" the hot Cid's Girl exclimed, running to the door.
Suddenly, a god like human being swaggered through the door with a smile that was to die for! Yes, it was too good to be true! It was the oh-so-hot, nicely tanned, muscular body, brave, courageous, smart, awesome... (34 pages after) wonderful, sexy, strong Gippel!
"Oh Gippel!" Cid's Girl exclimed, kissing him straight on the lips.
