The group boarded the airship and as Rikku was giving Andy the grand tour Paine and Yuna disappeared up onto the deck of the airship and laid down in the middle of it and looked up at the stars. Yuna was snuggled up as close to Paine as she could and still be on her back. Paine smiled and put her arm around her shoulders. "You of Yuna you've been quiet since we got back from where ever that portal took us."
"I'm fine Paine its just nice to actually be in love with someone who loves you back just as much."
Paine smiled softly. "Is that all?"
"Yea it is." Yuna smiled and rolled over on her side and turned Paine's face towards her and kissed her tenderly.
Meanwhile back on the bridge Rikku was giving Andy the grand tour. "Over there is Buddy he's our Sphere locator and navigator, then in the driver seat is my sibling Brother he's our faithful pain in the ass, the little guy over there at the large computer thingy is Shinra not sure what he does other than analyze the spheres and make dresspheres."
Andy looked confused. "One, what kind of spheres are you looking for, and two, what are dressspheres?"
Rikku smiled. "We look for any kind of spheares. As for the dresspheres they are spheres that are basicly duds or blank that Shinra puts special powers on to say change me from a theif to say a black mage."
Andy at Rikku and nodded. "Nice..."
"You hungry?" Rikku bounced a little bit like she usually did.
"A little bit yeah." Andy said.
"Follow me." Rikku led Andy off the bridge and out to the elevator. Once they were in Rikku selected 'cabin' on the touch screen. The doors closed and the elevotor hummed as it moved one floor up and the doors opened again. Rikku led Andy to to the cabin. "This is Barkeep just tell him what you want and he'll make it."
"Mish Reeekoo whats cans I dooos fer you?"
"I'll my usual Barkeep, what would you like Andy?"
"Got any soup? I haven't had soup in who knows how long."
Barkeep nodded. "Yesh loots."
"Would you happen to have a chicken noodle soup? That's my fav kind." Andy smiled.
Barkeep nodded. "Gots lots ovs thats hows big ovs a bowl fer yooous?"
"Oh just a regular size please." He said.
Rikku smiled as stared at Andy. "That was pretty fun playing your game. We'll have to play against someone next time. I know Paine was being a show off doing the flips and stuff." Rikku blushed looking at Andy.
Andy turned his face to Rikku. "Yeah. This may sound crazy, but it's a 'guy' sport. There are other sports that guys play that actuley women have there own league in too."
Rikku blushed and leaned in and kissed Andy softly. "Sorry I shouldn't have done that."
Andy blushed. "What was that for?" Andy asked.
Rikku blushed. "Um no reason just got caught up in the moment sorry."
Andy laughed. "Ok?"
Back up on the deck Yuna was cuddled up on Paine. Her head rested on Paine's chest simply listing to her heart beat while she slept.
Back in the cabin Rikku smiled slightly at Andy as Barkeep set their food down. He set what looked like a cheeseburger and fries down in front of Rikku and and a rather big bowl chicken noodle in front of Andy and then set two sodas down before walking off. "Enjoy." Rikku smiled and slowly began to eat.
Andy began to eat his soup.
Paine smiled softly and wraped her arms around Yuna and sat up slowly. 'damn Yuna your heavy' Paine thought as she struggled to get up. Paine struggled the whole the time trying to get to her feet. The warrior sighed when she finally got up. 'now to get to the cabin still upright' Paine thought as she staggered towards the elevator. 'Great stairs' Paine very carefully made her way down them and into the elevator. She finally hit the cabin button and the elevator hummed as it went down a leval. The doors opened and Paine's stumbeled out. 'For the love of Spira Yuna don't ever do this again' Paine finnaly got into the cabin and saw Andy and Rikku sitting at the bar. "Rikku if you so much as see Yuna look at sweets kick her. Goes for you too if your still around and not back home."
"Ok..." Andy said slowly, going back to eating his soup. He thought, 'Not the time for joking, but 'here comes the bride'.
Paine sighed and slowly made her way up the stairs and laid Yuna down in her bed. 'We'll leave Andy Yuna's bed' Paine covered the gunner up and made her way back down to the bar. Barkeep walked over and asked her what her could get her. "My usual please Barkeep." Barkkep nodded and walked off. Paine glanced over at Andy and spoke in usual emotionless tone. "So having fun yet?" Paine smirked slightly. "I see Rikku has taken quite a licking to you."
Andy stopped eating. "Well, yeah. I like it here." Andy smiled. "Yeah, Rikku is on me like a dog chasing a cat." Andy chuckled a little. "Ok, maybe not THAT, but Rikku and I are becoming good friends." Andy patted Rikku on the back, "Isn't that right?"
Rikku leered at Paine then blushed at Andy. "Yea we are."
Andy laughed a little and went back to eating his soup.
Paine shook her head and thanked Barkeep as he set her usual down. "So Andy um what are you going to do if a portal never opens up to take you back home?"
"Hmmm," he thought for a second, "Well," Andy started, "I am going to have to learn to take care of myself soon. I mean, I'm sixteen. I have to learn that my parents aren't always going to be there for me."
Paine blinked a few time. "Not exactly what I ment. I mean what will you do if your stuck here? Will you accept it and live here or do everything you can to get home."
Andy thought for a minute. "I would probably stay here."
"Is it really that bad where your from?" Paine glanced over at him.
"I have friends over in my world..." Andy started, "...but alot of people hate me. So, yeah, you could put it that way."
Paine nodded. "We are all hated for one reason or another. Is it really so bad you have to run away from it? Maybe thats the real reason you so willingly came with us."
"Dr. P is in the house!"
"Stop that.."
Andy nodded, "Yeah, I guess your right." He continued to finish off what little soup he had left.
Paine nodded and started to pick at her food. "Do you mind if I ask why you feel that your hated?"
"I don't know, but I can feel it." He said, finishing his soup.
Paine looked at Andy. "You mean you only feel that your hated?" Her tone ofd voice a mix of annoyed and concerend.
Andy looked at Paine. "Oh no no. I have people who like me, but most people don't like me." he said.
Paine nodded a little. "You said before they hated you so I was a bit confussed."
"I can understand," he said. "I am just glad I am with people that not only like me, but care about me too." Andy smiled.
Paine smirked. "Never said I liked you." Her voice had a playful tone to it.
Rikku elbowed her in the side. "Stop picking on him Paine, he hasn't known you long enough to know when your jokeing or when your serious."
Paine chuckled. "I'm sorry." Paine chuckled again. "OOOOOH Rikku has a crush!" Paine cleared her throat. "Um was that just outloud?"
Andy thought for a second. "No, but somehow we got into your brain and we were hearing your thoughts." Andy laughed.
Rikku blushed but laughed at what Andy said. "Better watch it Paine's middle name is sarcastic."
"Ok?" Andy said.
Paine chuckled. "Well stay outta my head damn it."
"Awww, but I can learn alot about you in your head." Andy laughed.
Paine chuckled. "Well no one gets in my head got it." She smirked slightly.
"Well, yes ma'am." Andy said half serious, half playful.
Paine was about to say something when she felt Yuna's lips on her neck. "Hi Yuna."
Yuna smiled and began to pick at Paine's food. "I see how you are eating with out me."
"Well I'll make it up to you later." Paine winked at Yuna.
Yuna blushed. "Anyways hey Andy hope you know thats my cousin you were kissing." Yuna smiled and continued to eat Paine's food.
"Oh god... what's the next thing to happen? All three of you start bragging at me?" Andy said with a sigh.
Yuna giggled. "I'm just being a brat I'm sorry."
Andy looked at Yuna. "Gee, wonder where you got it from..." Andy glared at Paine.
"Hey I learned it from her." Paine shrugged her shoulders.
Andy rolled his eyes. "Whatever..." he said with a sigh.
