-Issaru

Rikku flicked through different frequencies trying to find the right one that would connect her to the Youth League Headquarters. So far she was not having much luck.

"Bevelle, no. Luca, no. Mi'hen, no…oooooh! Were are you?" said a very frustrated Rikku, speaking as if the com sphere was really a person. Little did she know that she had scrolled right by it. After going through the long list of places again she finally found Mushroom Rock Road, location of the Headquarters, and immediately tried to connect. After awhile Rikku was worried something might be wrong as there was no answer, but then suddenly Lucil picked up.

"Hello? Oh hello Lady Rikku, what business do you have with the Youth League?"

"Oh Lucil, I was kinda expecting Nooj or Paine maybe? Are they there? It's kinda important? Rikku explained. Lucil then nodded and ran off to find them.

Meanwhile Brother was on the floor of the Celcius, still sulking over not being Yunas bridesmaid with Buddy trying to tell him that it would be silly for him to be the bridesmaid. Brother, of course, paid him no mind and started telling Shinra (who all this time was trying to listen in on Rikkus conversation) why Buddy was being mean, not letting him be the bridesmaid. Shinra just turned around and stared him blankly in the face.

"So immature…"

Brother then started the water works, saying how nobody liked him and everyone was against him.

"Hey, keep it down, will ya'? I can't hear Lucil!" shouted Rikku who had now seated herself in Shinra's chair. She span around so the back of the chair was facing the other Al Bheds. "So Nooj and Paine aren't there?"

"No, I'm sorry. They are currently moving supplies to our new headquarters in Kilika. But I will tell them that you called." Lucil explained.

"Aw, ok…wait Lucil, can you give me a frequency of your new headquarters, I can tell them that way!" said Rikku, voicing her idea. As Lucil began taking out a small piece of ripped up paper and began speaking the com-sphere fizzed out and went into a wave of static. This left Rikku in a very bad mood.

"Grrr, stupid sphere! Work! Work!" shouted Rikku as she began slamming the piece of equipment against Shinra's computer.

"Aaah! No, wait! Stop! That's very delicate!" Shinra protested as there was a noise that sounded like a party popper. He looked over at the remains of the sphere and the clouds of black smoke slowly rising to the ceiling. "No, you did not just break it…you did not just break it." Shinra kept telling himself that as Rikku shifted out of the chair.

"A-heh-heh…sorry? I'll make it up to you later…um…bye bye!" Rikku said as she sped out of the room, knocking Brother with her foot as she went.

"Waaaaaaaah! Now Rikku does not like Brother too! Everyone HATE Brother! Waaaaaaaah-haaaaaa-haaaaaa!" Brother sobbed as Buddy just sighed and went back to his computer leaving Brother on the floor, sobbing enough the fill the entire lake in Malacalnia Woods.

Shinra was also on the floor, trying to salvage the remains of one of his best inventions, the com-sphere. Though this closed a very big door in his life a window was let open as he decided to make a new model of com-sphere, The com-sphere-X™!

Rikku was hiding under one of the beds in the cabins, expecting to be followed by Shinra. After awhile of hiding, Rikku got bored and started rummaging around under the bed and found items that she thought were lost long ago: 148 Gil, a Fire Ring, a Gris-Gris Pouch, a Chocobo Feather and her microphone from her Songstress dressphere.

"So you were here all along? Bad microphone!" She pocketed the microphone and went downstairs were barkeep was cleaning glass mugs and anything else that had a speck of dust on it. In fact that's all Rikku ever saw Barkeep do, clean. Dispelling that stray thought from her mind, she began talking with him. "Hey Barkeep! Do you know of anyway I can get to Kilika from here? I'd ask Brother to fly me there but he's emotionally distraught right now."

"Hmmm I don'ts thinksh sho Mish Rikku. Yous could contact Kilika throughs the shcreen over theresh." said Barkeep, pointing to the screen above were Rikku and Yuna practiced before the concert in the Thunder Plains.

"Wait, that screen can contact places like a com-sphere? Am I told anything around here now a days!" Rikku exclaimed, feeling like she was the one everyone hated and not Brother.

"I'm shorry Mish Rikku, maybe nexts time theres sometingsh news I will comes tellsh yoush?" Barkeep said before turning the screen on and flipping through the channels for Kilika.

As the screen connected too Kilika, Rikku was surprised that the sphere was in the Youth League Headquarters! Rikku thought that the Sphere would have been in Dona's house. Dona used to be a summoner, but decided to end her Pilgrimage and stay in Kilika after Yuna and her party defeated Sin, bringing the Eternal Calm. Dona was also known to have a short fuse. It was then that Rikku remembered that Dona threw the sphere out of her window in fits of rage and it had landed in some bushes, a few feet from the gondolas. Rikku assumed that someone must have brought the sphere to the Headquarters. The screen showed many people walking by, but Rikku recognized one of them, it was--

"Elma! Over here! It's me, Rikku!" Shouted Rikku, hoping to get Elma's attention.

"Oh, Lady Rikku! It's an honor to see you, what business do you have with the Youth League today?

"Well Elma, could you tell me if Paine is there? I have some interesting information for her! It's kinda important to."

"Of course Rikku, I'll be right back…"

As Elma ran off Rikku used this time to reach over the counter of the bar and grab a bottle of water. When she couldn't find any water she turned to face an angry Barkeep.

"Mish, I prefers when peoples asks, instead of helpings themselvesh!' said the Hypello, attempting too put on a stern look, but, to no avail. This made Rikku laugh, but she held back her laughter long enough to grab the bottle of water she was handed.

As she began opening the water Paine appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Rikku." She said icily, beads of sweat dribbling down her forehead showing she had been busy.

"WAHH!" The sudden voice startled Rikku and the bottle of water flew into the air and soaked her and the floor, to which a noweven angrier Barkeep responded too by picking up a mop and began swishing it around on the floor were the liquid was. Paine merely smirked at this and continued. "Rikku, whatdoyou want? I'm busy, I have no time for your jokes…"

"Hmph, so not even a how are you? Some friend you are!" Rikku said as the water dripped from her soaked hair onto her face.

"Look do you want to talk or not?" Paine replied, all this time not changing her expression.

"Yeah I do but…oh never mind. The important thing is YUNIE ISGETTING MARRIED!" said Rikku and she began hopping up and down from one foot to the other.

"Oh really now? So she's finally getting together with 'him'? That's good to hear…"

"Mmhm! Anyway Yuna wants you to come to the wedding, its at Besaid Templesame time next week, can ya' make it?"

"Sure, I guess…I have nothing else to do…"

"Yay! The Gullwings are going to a wedding! The Gullwings are going to a wedding!"

"Rikku, ever sing that song again and I'll deduct another point from your Paine scale…"

"Whaaaaaat? How many do I have left now, 46 right?

"No, 45 now Rikku."

"Hmm I was sure it was 46…"

Paine laughed a little at this then turned the sphere off and went back to work.

Later that evening Rikku was on the deck of the Celsius, the wind hitting her face and blowing her hair all over the place. It was surprising none of the ribbons and bands in her hair were ever blown out. Rikku was thinking about the wedding when reality hit her…

"What am I going to wear?" Rikku then rushed down the steps and into the hallways towards her cabin, just as the sun began to set, turning the skies red.

Well like I said, it's longer the Chapter 1! I hope if you read it you enjoyed it and if you didn't enjoy it please review so I can improve it!

And just for some quick info: If you don't know what the Paine Scale is then it's a made up chart of points Yuna and Rikku have andif one of them does something Paine doesn't like she removes a point. It was introduced outside the Cave of Woe (sp?) in FFX-2. Well that's it for now, oh and for any Brother fans out there I'm sorryI treat him so badly, but he is a bit...um...touched in the head shall we say?

Brother: Yes, I is touched in head! That is good right?

Yes of course it is Brother, now back too your hole or I'll get Paine to stare at you!

Brother: AAH! Ok I will go! runs off

Heh, like a trained puppy...anyway, hope to see ya next chapter, bubi!
