We got some other Al Bhed to help us take the airship back to Bikanel. Once there I was greeted by my father.
"Mission a success,"I said, bowing.
"Good job,"He said, bringing me in with a one arm hug. "Get that thing in here stat!"he ordered some other Al Bhed.
"I'm going to be in my quarters, pops,"I said, then ran inside. I felt somebody following me it was Gippal. "What do you want, Gippal?"I asked, turning around.
"Just to ask you something,"he replied.
"What is it, Gip?"I asked.
"You don't think your pops would mind if I try to join the crimson squad would he?"he asked, sheepishly.
"Your trying out for another thing?"I asked, scratching my cheek with one finger. Gippal nodded and I sighed. "You weren't able to join the crusaders what makes you think this will be different?"
"Never know unless I try, right?"he asked, taking my hands in his. I nodded and made myself smile.
"Just be careful, kay?"
"Anything for Cid's little girl,"he said, smirking. I pulled my hands away from Gippal and gave him a little push.
"I have a name and its not 'Cid's little girl' or 'Princess',"I said, kinda annoyed. He chuckled, then caught me off guard when his lips locking with mine. I pulled away, shocked at this action. He smiled at me then put his lips to my ear and whispered, "I know your name..I just like messing with you, Rikku."
I shivered for a split second, I was so embarrassed. I balled my hand into a fist and punched his shoulder.
"Hey! What was that for!"he asked.
"For shocking and embarrassing the princess,"I said, sounding official. He laughed and gave me a quick hug.
"I'll see ya around, Princess,"he said, turning to leave.
"Your leaving right now!"I exclaimed. He nodded. "Gip.."
"Sorry princess duty calls,"he said, looking back at me with a smile.
"But you haven't become a crimson squad person thingie yet!"
He laughed and continued walking. "Bye Gip..,"I said, trying not to get teary eyed. I sat there and waved for awhile even though he was out of site. I came back to reality and decided to go to my room. I pushed the button that opened the door to my room and flopped on my bed at once. Sleep soon took over me.
The next day I got up and realized I had slept in my Al'Bhed suit. "Oh well..,"I thought, bouncing up. I made my bed then I became a little to hot in my suit so I took it off then headed into my bathroom and took a quick, cold shower. When done I changed into some khaki shorts and put on a green tank that matched my eyes then added my fingerless brown gloves. I then went over to my mirror and ran a brush through my hair. My hair was a little past my shoulders and it was a golden blond. I loved how shinny it was it was great. I decided to leave my hair down today and headed out to the mess hall, I was starving. I a little to fast and almost chocked. Then I got reminded of Tidus and laughed which made everyone look at me strangely. I giggled the got up and through away my plate, then deciding to go see what my pops was doing. I found him in a room with some other Al'Bhed. They were cleaning up the airship that we found. "Hey pops,"I said, waving.
"Oh! Rikku,"he said, suddenly jumping up from what he was doing and came up to me.
"Yes?"I questioned, raising my eyebrow.
"I need you to go to Luca for me,"he said.
"Why?"I asked.
"To deliver this,"he said, picking up a small package and handing it to me.
"To who?"I asked.
"You'll meet them in the café,"Cid said. "They'll notice you so you don't have to worry about trying to spot them."
I nodded and decided to head out right away.
I got out of my boat and started for the café. I hadn't been to Luca for two years cause I was usually busy at Home. I decided that after delivering the package I would go have some fun before heading home. I put on my sunglasses cause the sun was bugging my eyes. I didn't wanna wear my goggles cause I didn't wanna be that noticeable. I continued on my way admiring the sites then I arrived at the café and waited and waited and waited. It had been three hours now and they still hadn't come.
"Where are they..,"I moaned.
"Are you the one I'm supposed to meet with?"somebody asked.
"Bout time,"I said, turning around. I was shocked by who I saw and fell backwards. It was thee sir Auron. I laughed hysterically for a second and he gave me a weird look.
"Can we get on with this?"he asked sounding annoyed.
"Yes,"I said, bouncing to my feet. I got into my bag and pulled out the package then handed it to him. "There ya go,"I said, smiling. He nodded and started walking away. "Don't I get a thank you!"I exclaimed. He ignored me and kept on walking. Who knew the legendary guardian could be so rude. I jumped in front of him.
"Its rude to ignore people ya know?"I said, folding my arms. He just stared blankly at me. "Well say your sorry and thank you and maybe just maybe I'll let you pass."
He sighed, grabbing my shoulders and moved me aside.
"Sorry,"he said, releasing me. He continued on his way and I followed. He rolled his eye and looked down at me. "What now?"he asked.
"I still haven't gotten a thank you,"I said.
"Thank you,"he said, and continued walking.
"Your welcome!"I exclaimed after him. He waved his hand and I couldn't help but giggle. I met Sir Auron and I annoyed him greatly..I couldn't help it I'm stubborn. I went back inside the café grabbed my bag and decided to find somewhere to shop at. I walked into a shop and browsed the clothes..then I realized I was being watched. I continued browseing then the employee asked,"Can I help you?"
"Nah, I'm ok just browsing,"she said. The employee kept watching me then I heard her say in a low voice "Al'bhed heathen."
"Excuse me?"I said, turning around.
"Yes?"the lady asked.
"Did you say something?"
"No, I did not,"she said.
"I'm sure I heard you say something,"I said, as nicely as I could.
"I didn't say a thing."
"Listen,"I said, then looked at her name tag. "Amy, If you can say something behind my back you can surely say it to my face."
"I told Barb we shouldn't allow Al Bheds in here,"Amy sighed.
"What's that supposed to mean?"I demanded, taking off my glasses so I could look her straight on.
"You Al'bhed are nothing, but heathens,"she said, folding her arms.
"So what if I'm an Al'bhed!"I exclaimed. "We use machina so what! You have no proof that Machina was the cause that made Sin appear!"
"Here we go,"Amy said, rolling her eyes. I raised my hand and I was about to strike little-miss-thing, but then somebody grabbed my wrist.
"What's going on here?"the guardian from earlier questioned.
"S-sir Auron! How can I help you, sir?"she asked.
"You could, by explaining what's going on,"he said.
"This heathen was trying to steal from our store and she was going to attack me,"she said, whimpering.
"LIAR!"I exclaimed, my anger rising. "I was here just minding my own business and this lady thinks I shouldn't be allowed in the store cause I'm an Al'bhed...wait why are you butting in?"
He shrugged then looked back at Amy who was trying to look as sweet as she could.
Auron still had a hold of my wrist, I wondered when he would let go.
"Just 'cause she's an al'bhed that doesn't give you the right to behave this way. Al'bhed have the right to go where they please like we are able to,"he said then turned to me. "And you shouldn't lose your temper that easily."
Amy had her face in her hands and mumbled about how she just got lectured by thee sir Auron. I felt embarrassed and walked out of the store with Auron behind me.
"I probably sound like an immature brat, huh?"I said, putting back on my glasses.
"No, your just speaking your mind,"He replied, walking off.
"Thank you!"I called after him. I couldn't help, but smile. I decided I had enough of Luca and I was going to head back home.
