A Very Tonberry Christmas Chapter Two: How 'Bout A Chocobo?
Disclaimer: I used to own Yuna, Rikku, Paine, and Tidus, but then I sold them to Square Enix and now I'm a gajillion zillionare.
A/N: Ok, I've honestly got no idea where I'm going with this. I hope I haven't disappointed you all out there. And now, ending one of my shortest Author Notes ever, I give you chapter two.
"Ah crap!" Yuna exclaimed tossing another dressphere across the sleeping area of the cabin. There had to be something she could wear for shopping with Rikku. Normally she'd just go, not caring about what she's wearing but, well...it's Rikku. I wonder how she's handling this... Yuna thought tossing another dressphere over her shoulder. She stopped, just realizing something. This is a date. This is a date! Rikku asked me on a date! And it took me till now to figure it out! "Double crap!" And she threw another sphere across the room. Calm down, Yuna. Maybe it's not a date...Maybe you're jumping to conclusions. And maybe I should just wear my Gunner outfit...or possibly the Songstress. Rikku just wears as little as possible (not that I'm complaining) and looks fantastic...Argh. Rikku...Why'd ya have to go and ask me out? Yuna chose the Songstress. I'm really glad you did though. And still I need your present by tomorrow! Crap, crap, crap!
Yuna sighed. As good as it's gonna get. And with that thought she made her way to the stairs, only to find Rikku wating at the bottom.
"Oh, Songstress! I like!" She said, flashing a perfect smile and a thumbs up. You had better...Took me forever to choose... Yuna thought. "Ready to go, Yunie?"
"Uh-huh." Yuna said rushing down the stairs. Of course, in doing so, she tripped, falling right into Rikku's arms. They both blushed heavily.
"And they call me the clumsy one..." Rikku flashed her smile and Yuna nearly melted...again.
"Uh, guess we'd better get going, huh?" Try as she might, Yuna couldn't help but gaze into those perfect green eyes and smile.
"Oh...right...go..." Rikku's voice came out slightly flustered.
"Hey! How 'bout this?" Rikku dashed over to another booth set up on the busy streets of Luca. She held up a sparkly neclace with a sot of square-ish pendant. "You think it's good for Paine?"
"Well-"
"Aww...It sucks!" Rikku tossed it back onto the booth and planted herself on a bench. Yuna stole the seat next to her. "We're runnin' out of time, Yunie!"
"Rikku," Yuna started. "You can't just give up. I'm sure there's something out here." She gestured to the other various booths. "I mean, the perfect present could be right around the corner..." Rikku nodded stiffly.
"You're right, Yunie. I guess I'm kind of a poopie to drag you out here and then complain."
"Of course not..." Yuna stood up and extended her hand (ingnoring the raging batte going on in her head between her better judgement and her roaring emotions). "C'mon! Let's find that present!" Rikku looked from Yuna to her hand and back to Yuna. She then grinned, grabbed hold of Yuna's hand, and raced off. Good job, Yuna. You managed not to embarass yourself for once. (A/N: Did you know you can't spell embarass without ass? Huh. How bout that?
"So let's think," Rikku said slowly. "What could Painey want for Christmas?" She continued walking, scanning each booth as they went along.
"Well, " Yuna started. "There's the traditonal gift of gil, but that's awfully impersonal. Something Paine's intrested in..."
"How 'bout a chocobo?"
"A cocobo?" Yuna stopped walking. "You're serious?"
"It was just a thought..." Rikku said in a small voice. Immediately, Yuna burst out laughing and Rikku tilted her head to the side. "I don't get it. What's funny?" Of course, this comment only made Yuna laugh harder.
"It's just the look on your face when you said that! It was hilarious!" Yuna managed between fits of laughter. "You're really great. You know that?" Oh Yevon, did I accually just say that? Great. Now I know she thinks I'm an idiot. But Rikku just smiled and kept walking. That's when the girls noticed they were still holding hands. They immediately let go, like a magnetic charge shot them apart. They walked in silence until Rikku managed to distract herself (which we all know didn't take long).
"Yunie, I found it!" she called after a while. Yuna approached her. "I think it just might be perfect!" She held up yet another neclace. But this one was different. In a word: perfect. It had "Paine" written all over it. "This is perfect!" And without another word, Rikku paid for the neclace and a small gold-colored box to put it in. "It sure it beautiful..." Then it hit Yuna like a drunken Brother hits the floor. The perfect present for Rikku. But I had better hurry if I want to get it ready in time. Christmas is tomorrow!
"Rikku, you go on back to the ship without me...I'll catch up." When Rikku gave her a look she quickly added "I promise."
"Ok, Yunie. I trust you." And the two parted ways.
Ok, so that ending was a little shaky, but whatever. Will Paine really like her present! What has Yuna got up her sleve! And what will Rikku think! Why am I asking you all these questions! Stay Tuned!
