Rikku sprang up from her lying down position. She had had a very bad dream. One where Gippal had left her, never to come back. Now that scared her. She looked over at Gippal, who was still sleeping. She then looked over at the clock. 1:40 am, it read. She layed back down, pulling the covers back over her. She stared over at Gippal, who started to turn over. She quickly closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep. Gippal only turned and stayed asleep. Rikku let out a sigh, and opened her eyes. She stared up at the ceiling blankly until sleep overtook her once again.
There
she goes
There she goes again
Racing through my brain
And I
just can't contain
This feeling that remains
When Gippal woke up, Rikku was still asleep. He chuckled a bit and softly patted her head as he walked past her and to the door. He walked downstairs after getting dressed and watched a bit of tv. Deciding to be nice, he got up and fixed breakfast for him and Rikku. He then sat quietly and waited for Rikku to wake up.
There
she goes
There she goes again
Pulsing through my veins
And I
just can't contain
This feeling that remains
Rikku woke up and looked around for Gippal. Not seeing him there, she got a bit paicky that her dream had come true. She quickly got dressed, did her hair and ran downstairs. She peeked into the kitchen, seeing Gippal and letting out a sigh of relief. "Mornin' Cid's girl. What? You thought I left you alone in my house?" Gippal asked. Rikku shook her head and sat down across from him. "What's all this for?" She asked him. "I thought I'd be nice and fix breakfast." Rikku nodded and looked down at the food. "I didn't poision it, if that's what your thinking." Rikku looked up and shook her head. "No. I'm not thinking that. It's just the morning tiredness." Gippal nodded as Rikku took a bite. After she finished she thanked Gippal for the breakfast and got up. "Don't you have to go to work today?" She asked. Gippal shook his head. "Then what will you do all day? I have sphere hunting." Gippal thought for a bit then smiled. "I'll go with you." He said. Rikku blinked. "Really?" Gippal nodded. "Alright. C'mon." She got up and grabbed her bag, heading for the door. Gippal followed after her.
There
she goes
There she goes again
She calls my name,
Pulls my
train
No one else could heal my pain
And I just can't
contain
This feeling that remains
Yuna tilted her head as she saw Gippal with Rikku. "Uhh, Rikku? Why is he here?" Rikku glanced over at Gippal and pulled Paine and Yuna over. "I've moved in with him and he said that he doesn't have to go to work today. So he suggested that he come sphere hunting with us. Please? Can he? Please, Yunie??" Yuna looked over at Gippal, sighed, then nodded. "Alright. Let's just hope he's useful." Rikku squealed with joy and turned, putting her thumbs up to Gippal. She then turned and hugged Yuna. "Thank you!" Yuna lightly hugged back, blinking. Rikku grabbed Gippal's hand and pulled him along. "Whoa!" Yuna giggled and followed after them, along with Paine. By the time Yuna and Paine got on the airship, Rikku was showing Gippal how the sphere tracker worked. Gippal barely listened. He just stared at her, almost longingly.
There
she goes
There she goes again
Chasing down my lane
And I
just can't contain
This feeling that remains
"We've tracked a sphere!" Yelled Paine. Rikku came rushing next to Paine. "Where?" She asked. "In the Farplane." Was Paine's reply. "All the way over there? Dang." Rikku blinked and looked around. "Hey, where'd Gippal go?" Paine shrugged, crossing her arms. "Hmph.." Rikku ran off to find Gippal. She found him on top of the airship. "Like the view?" She giggled and poked Gippal in the back. "Hey, Rik." Rikku folded her hands behind her back, tilting her head. "First it was Cid's girl, now it's Rik?" Gippal just shrugged. "We've tracked a sphere in the Farplane." Rikku said, turning her gaze on him. "All that way?" Gippal asked, looking back at her. "I know. That's what I asked. But it'll be worth it." Gippal shrugged again as Rikku turned and went back down to the cabin.
