I have taken so long to ever start writing this and I know most of you won't read it but for my own enjoyment and challenge I am writing it.

Rikku woke up early and took a shower. She then put on shorts and a tank, heading downstairs. As she was walking down she was putting her hair in a ponytail, singing to herself, "I can feel the pressure."

She jumped on to the landing and turned the corner quickly. She slammed into a chest. As she looked up at Artemis she blushed and mentally smacked herself, 'Dang it!'

Artemis's hands were on her elbows and he smiled down on her, "Well, good morning to you too. It isn't every day a girl jumps into your arms."

Rikku smirked, "Well, I guess that just shows not many girls like you."

She slipped away and walked to the direction Dom told her the kitchen was. She ended up in a basement. It was somewhere between a lab and a gym. She rubbed her forehead, how hard could down the hallway be. Rikku's sense of direction: None.

"Lost," Artemis smirked behind her and shook his head, "Or did you want to work out after that shower. Or maybe just tinker with chemicals that could burn your fingers off."

Rikku turned and smiled, "Though that sounds like fun. I'm more of a machanic. I don't like poisening myself as much."

"A machanic you say," Artemis roughly walked past her and Rikku glared, "Let's see."

He picked up a circular ball and threw it to her, "I've been messing with this thing for weeks but something is not right."

Rikku sat in a spinning chair and twirled around. She looked at the ball and easily opened it. With access she took two minutes and closed it. Turning it on she threw it back to him. He gave her a curious look.

"Oh please, you have to give me something more challenging then that," Rikku lips curled naturally. She tilted her head back and spun in the chair.

It stopped and she looked at Artemis. His hands were on hers and he casually got very close, "How would you like to help me?"

"I don't work for people when it comes to mechanical things. I do it for myself or out of curiousity."

"Then can I make you curious," Artemis replied, taking his hands off he pulled a sketch off the desk. He handed it to her and she bit her lower lip.

Rikku set it casually down and leaned back. After a moment she looked up at him, "You've captured my attention."

As Artemis led Rikku out of the basement, Trouble and Holly passed. They walked behind them and Rikku swore she heard Trouble say, 'I don't even want to know what they were doing down there.'

Holly grabbed Rikku's arm and pulled her aside while Trouble made Artemis keep walking. Holly let go of her arm and Rikku looked at her curiously.

"What's wrong, Holls?" Rikku asked.

"I just-" Holly tried and rubbed her forehead, "I just wanted to say I am sorry. You have a wonderful personality as it is and when the time is right you will find the one person you are. I just get frustrated cause you are hard to follow and this situation is really serious. Haven is in trouble and you are making jokes."

Rikku laughed and just smiled at Holly, so she asked, "What?"

"You are right. It can get frustrating and I will grow out of it. Though the reason I can be so happy and joke around is because you're here and everything is okay with you here," Rikku said without any doubt whatsoever.

Holly leaned over and hugged Rikku, who hugged her back smiling happily. Holly let go and happily says, "Let's go get food."

Rikku turned her Ipod up as loud as it could go and started jogging. She decided to run around the house once because twice would probably kill her. As she jogged she paid stricked attention to the detail all over the place. The building, the grounds, the forest, and the plants. They really had a taste for things. Rikku was admiring a rose bush when she tripped over a bench.

Rikku's hands caught her before her face hit the ground but that's not saying she wasn't in pain. She laid on the ground for a while and yelled out, "AArrgghh," or something like that.

She finally got up and looked at the damage. Her leg was scratched all the way down and her other knee was bleeding. Her hands looked equally scraped and her stomach hurt from flipping over the thing. She took out her head phones and started to do a limp walk to the other side of the house. She smelled the air and felt a nice breeze that stung her after crash a bit. She made sure she watched where she was going this time and made it back to the front of the house. As she walked in the door, Juliet freaked out.

"WHAT HAPPENED!" Juliet shrieked running over to take care of thier new found fairy friend.

"Well, there was a bench and if you are not looking where you are going, you will trip over it. I guarentee it," Rikku sarcastically replied.

"You poor thing," Juliet cooed. She grabbed Rikku's hand and started pulling her, "We need to get you cleaned up right now. We don't want you to get an infection."

They reached what looked like a medical room almost and Rikku laughed, "Wow! You guys really do have everything here. Do you also have secret passages that lead to the garden?"

"Ask Artemis and he might show you them?" Juliet replied while grabbing supplies from the cabinet.

Rikku's mouth fell open and then she heard Artemis behind her, "If you behave, I will consider it."

Rikku whipped around and his eyes fell on her legs, "What happened?"

Rikku sighed and started to repeat her story, "Well, there is a bench and if you're not looking-"

"Hahaha.. that was you?" Artemis laughed and shook his head. Juliet looked up surprised to hear Artemis laugh like that but Rikku glared.

"How dare you? I am in pain and all you can do is laugh. What a jerk?!" Rikku growled, "It isn't that funny."

Artemis tried to stop but the smile held, "You are right it is very inappropriate for me to laugh at this manner. You are very clumsy and something needs to be done."

With that he laughed again and Juliet made her sit down. Rikku sighed as Juliet cleaned off her legs. She also didn't understand why Juliet was doing it but, she tried to be still, until she heard Juliet, "HOLY CRAP!!"

"What?" Rikku asked looking down. On her legs the blood was gone, with the scrapes gone as well.

She looked at Artemis that looked at her curiously, "I think it is time we do some testing on you."

We have a problem. I am being a bad writer and I haven't written for a while. Shun me! Anywho, Since school has started I can do more but I want to know if I should stick with this or move on to something new. That way it is after the 6th book, unless you want to hear this story and hear the new one later.

Your votes are what counts! Don't let me down!
