A/n Hello everyone Wow I didn't think my story would be this long…oh well. I hope you all like it so far and sorry if you don't but blah to you! Anyways I actually started a new story that involves A weird love thingy…heh he its umm Gippal/Rikku, Yuna/Tidus, Tidus/Rikku maybe more but I am not sure…it just came to me one day and if it sounds interesting cheek it out the first chapter is up, its called Farther away. I don't know what possessed me to write it, but I did. Anyways I'm counting the days until summer! I can't wait I hate school…and to think I will be a senior next year. Maybe it will be better, but I doubt it. Hmm I am almost 17…weird I still only feel 14 but again oh well. You all know how they are making a movie for FF7 right. Well I think they should make one for FFX/X-2 as well. Actually what would really kick some major ass is if they made a movie for every Final Fantasy Game (the ones that actually hold a story ahem FF1… cough cough that game sucks cough cough) sorry to any fans of that game but we are all entitled to our own opinion. Ahh anyways I miss my story TRSLOTYGOCCOT that I wrote on my other name…but they took it off. If you're wondering what TRSLOTYGOCCOT stands for well it was The real secret lives of the Yu-gi-oh cast caught on tape. I basically bashed all the characters of Yu-gi-oh it was fun. Ahh the good ol' days…wow this is the longest I have ever rambled on. Sorry…I just talk and talk sometimes. Anyways thanks to all you guys who have read my story and remember to please, review. Sorry for the wait on with the next chappy!

Chapter 12

(A week has past since the last chapter. It is now the day of Paine and Baralai's wedding.)

Rikku's POV

As I sat there and allowed the hairstylist to fix my hair, my mind lingered on what was about to happen. Something I never thought I would see, Paine was getting married and it was before me. I looked over to Yuna who was beside me getting her hair done as well. The hairstylists were weaving red crystals into our hair, which was up in somewhat messy buns. I was happy that Paine didn't stress the whole hair thing as Yunie did whom had made me wear my hair down and with a flower crown. On my other side was Lulu whose hair was done and she was now having makeup applied.

"You're done miss Rikku." The hairstylist said bringing me back to reality.

I looked into the mirror and smiled. I actually liked it. A makeup artist replaced the hairstylist and they began to put on my makeup. I usually didn't where makeup. Most of the time if I did, it was only a little lip gloss and some black eye liner. They were putting on deep red lipstick, a dark green shadow and a black eye liner. I looked like I belonged in one of those magazines with all the skinny models. It made me feel out of place. Everyone else had their make up done to bring out their eyes I guess it was something to focus on. My eyes stood out anywhere makeup or not. So did Yunie's but that was because she had two different eye colors. She was different. I just had very bright eyes or so I have been told. When everything was completely done, I stood and walked to the edge of the room. Yuna came up behind her minutes later. Rikku turned to her and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Yuna asked.

"It's just that…well Yuna, I." Rikku stopped.

"Are you worried for Paine?" Yuna asked.

"Well no, I'm worried for myself."

Yuna looked at her confused. Rikku shook her head.

"It's hard to explain."

"You can try." Yuna replied.

Rikku smiled.

"Okay. It's just that you went and got married to Tidus right."

"Yes."

"Then Paine is marrying Baralai today. Not more then a few months after your wedding."

"Okay."

"Well it's just out of our little group I'm the only one that isn't married."

Yuna smiled.

"That's nothing to be worried about." She said.

"Well I'm not worried about not being married. I'm worried that maybe since you and Paine are now that maybe you guys well you won't have time to hang out anymore." Rikku said and frowned.

Yuna giggled.

"Don't be silly Rikku, we'll always have time to be friends." Yuna paused. "No guy could come between the bond we all share."

"I guess you're right." Rikku smiled. "I really shouldn't worry should I?"

Yuna smiled again. Then a woman entered the room.

"Brides maids, line up. It's almost show time." She said.

We all did as we were told; the groomsmen came in seconds later. Gippal smiled when he saw me. He leaned in close to me.

"You look wonderful." He said and I smiled.

"You look weird." I replied.

He grinned and I knew he agreed with me. He hated wearing tuxedos it just didn't suite him as he had told me. He squeezed my hand and I watched Paine walk out of her dressing room. She stood behind us and I pulled away from Gippal to go and give her a hug. She looked wonderful. The dress she had picked out fit her body very well and the shawl Yuna had made her wear actually brought out her eyes. When I got to her, she smiled, as did I.

"You look beautiful." I said.

"I'm so nervous." She replied holding her bouquet tightly.

"Hey lighten up on the flowers before you kill them." I laughed.

She did as I had suggested. Then the woman that was there before came back out and scolded me for being out of place. I laughed and hugged Paine.

"You'll do great out there, it can't be any harder then saving the world." I said.

I actually got her to smile, one of those smiles that she doesn't show often.

"Go get in line before the wedding planner throws a fit." Paine said.

I nodded and the wedding planner handed every bridesmaids their mini versions of Paine's bouquets. I took mine and faced forward as the music started. We made our slow walk to the front of the palace and the priest then stood off to each of our respective sides. The music that cued Paine to begin her walk down the aisle began. Everyone's eyes fell on the door, and Paine came through with such an elegance to her. I smiled as I watched her glide down the aisle towards Baralai. I glanced over to him; I could see how happy he was. Happy that he and Paine would be together forever. The music stopped and Baralai took his place next to Paine. The priest began to speak. I watched in anticipation as they each said their "I do's" And I knew by the end of the ceremony I was crying. You know I just can't help it I love to see my friends so happy and today had to be one of the few times I have seen Paine truly happy. They shared a kiss and everyone applauded. I wondered if my wedding would be anything like this. I looked over to where Gippal stood and I saw his eyes on me. I blushed and I didn't know why…

Gippal's POV

When the ceremony was over and the celebration began, I walked over to where Rikku stood and offered my hand. She took in and together we walked over to the party. Paine and Baralai were busy sharing their first dance as a married couple. I looked at Rikku and she smiled.

"Shall we dance?" She asked.

I knew it was coming she loved to dance. I sighed and smiled.

"Sure what can it hurt?" I asked.

Rikku lead me out to the dance floor and positioned us next to where Tidus and Yuna were already dancing. It was a slow song so Rikku got close to me and rested her head on my chest.

"You know, I hate dancing." I said.

"Yeah I know." She replied.

"But you know, it's almost bearable with you."

She looked up at me and smiled.

"You know I think you just complemented me." She said.

"Hmm I guess I did." I said.

We finished the dance and I lead her over to the front table where the bride and her bridesmaids would be sitting along with the groom and grooms men. Minutes later they announced that Dinner would be served in a few minutes. Everyone took his or her seat and then dinner was brought out and set in front of us. Rikku was seated next to Paine with Yuna on the other side. Rikku, Yuna, and Paine talked forever that night. I guess I just rather sat off to the side. Rikku stood up and clinked her fork aginst the glass. Everyone hushed and paid attention to her.

"I would like to make a toast to one of my best friends in the world on her wedding night." Rikku paused, looked to Paine who smiled, and then continued. "When I first met Paine on the Celsius almost two years ago, I knew we would be friends for a long time to come. Even though we are two very different people, and we had our well our bad days we stayed together through it all and came out better and stronger friends. Therefore, Standing here today watching her make one of the biggest commitments in her life, I can honestly say that I am for one very happy for her and proud of the person she is today and I hope that she will be the happiest with her new husband that she ever has been before." She paused and looked at Paine again. "Lets all raise our glasses to the long and happy marriage between Baralai and Paine." She said and rose her glass.

"To Baralai and Paine." Everyone said and then applauded.

Rikku sat and Paine looked to her and smiled.

"That was…really nice, and something I would think Yuna would of done." I said to her.

She looked to me and gave me a smile.

"Well I guess I kind of grew up in the past few months." She said back to me.

I really took what she had said into consideration. In the past few months, a lot has happened to us. From getting, back together, to getting engaged, and then there was the whole Kadena issue. Yeah I could say we had both done a lot of growing up in the past few months. The wedding was carried out just like any other wedding I had been too, we danced, they opened presents, Paine threw her bouquet, and then they went on their honeymoon. Rikku was actually spared of house sitting this time; Paine explained that some of Baralai's New Yevon buddies volunteered to house sit. Rikku was happy about that she said that Baralai's house was too stuffy and no fun. Therefore, we went home to our apartment. Rikku was really tired and went to sleep almost instantly. I stayed up and watched TV. I was downstairs when I heard Rikku get up and scurry across the room, the bathroom door opened and then slammed. I got up and walked to the room just in time to hear her throwing up. I knocked on the door.

"Ri are you okay?" I asked.

"Yea." She said and then I heard her start to brush her teeth. She came out and looked at me.

"Are you sure?" I asked feeling her forehead.

"Yea I said I was fine, I just got nauseous all the sudden. I feel better though."

"Maybe it was something you ate because you don't feel like you have a fever."

"Yea maybe." She said. "Are you coming up to bed anytime soon?" She asked like a little kid.

If I knew Rikku then she hated to be alone when she felt sick, and I found it somewhat cute she still acted like that. I smiled.

"Yea just let me go turn off the TV." I said.

She nodded and went back to her spot on the bed. Walking downstairs, I heard her humming to herself. I shook my head. She had been acting odd lately I wondered what was up. I reached the TV and turned it off then went back upstairs to the bedroom where Rikku was already fast asleep on the bed. I got dressed for bed and went to sleep next to her. She didn't get up anymore that night but early in the morning, she was in the bathroom again. I laid there listening to her be sick, and it worried me. She said she felt fine but what if she was really sick and she wasn't feeling any of the symptoms yet. I looked at the clock on my nightstand and shook my head.

I guess I'll talk to her later; I've got to go to Djose. I got dressed and then knocked on the door again.

"Hey I've got to go now, I hope you feel better." I said.

"Okay I love you bye!" She said hurriedly.

"Love you too." I replied and then left.

Rikku's POV

As I stood there in there in the bathroom, my heart pounded. I was scared. I was really freakin scared. I paced back and forth wondering what I would tell him, how I would tell him. I felt my tears as they streamed down my face. I looked again at the little piece of plastic I held in my hand. I ran my hands through my hair and screamed in frustration.

"God! Why does this stuff always happen to me?" I yelled out to no one in particular.

Looking back at the positive read out on the pregnancy test I held in my hand I cried.

"I'm pregnant…I can't believe I'm pregnant..." I said to myself as I fell to my knees and cried in my hands.
