Part 6


The next day, Rikku didn't step foot out of the Celcius. All she did was lay flat on her bed, with her golden braids all over the pillow, her green eyes did nothing but stare at the bookshelf. She just wanted to stay there the rest of the day, hiding herself from others, not wanting them to know the pain of losing a battle of love.
She felt that it wasn't right for Nissa to have Tifa, that Tifa deserved better. And Rikku considered herself better.
''It just isn't right...I loved Tifa first!! That Nissa thinks she can get any woman she wants!!'' Rikku said to herself.

Tears begin to roll down her cheeks and her face presses deeper into the pillow.
Then suddenly, she quickly jumps up from out of her bed, looking determined.
''Wait! I cant just stay here weeping in pain! I have to go do something about it!
I liked Tifa first, darnit!!'' Rikku shouts, making a fist.

She dashes out of the Celcius and out into Zanarkand.

''Tidus, Tifa-sama's 20th birthday is coming up, and I need your help!''
''Okay, okay! What do you need, Nissa?''
''Hmm well, I need for you to pass out some invitations, all over Zanarkand, hell, all over Spira if you have to!''
''Wha? All over Spira!?? Its gonna be that big a party!?''
''Ok then, just in Zanarkand. Remember, this is a suprise party, I dont want Tifa-sama to know about it, okay?''
''Gotcha!'' Tidus winks at Nissa.
''Ahhhh, I just love my Tifa-sama sooo much!!'' Nissa says happily.
''So you and Tifa are together now, huh.'' Tidus asks.
''Yes, and I couldnt be anymore happier.''
''Heh, you really must be in love!! Look at you!''
''Eh? Oh! Just get started on those invitations!'' Nissa shouts.
''Okay, okay...ahhhh!!'' Tidus runs out the room with the invitations in his hands.

Suddenly, Tifa walks into the room where Nissa was located. Nissa gets up and turns around to greet her lover. But when she looked to Tifa, something seemed different.
''T-Tifa-sama?? What did you do to your hair?''
''What, you dont like it?'' Tifa asks curiously.
''It's a really nice style, but why did you cut it so short?''
''Well, all that hair gets in my way when I'm in the Blitzing dome. I figure I should just cut it so I can move faster. So, what's up?'' Tifa comes closer to Nissa, wrapping her arm around Nissa's slender waist.
''Hmmmm, not much, love, just...looking out the window..and I thought of something.''
''What?'' Tifa looking oblivious.
''Why dont you go out of the city for a while?'' Nissa suggests, with a smile.
''Leave Zanarkand?''
''Yeah, I think it would be great for you to get away for a bit and enjoy yourself.''
''That doesnt sound too bad...yeah, we should go.''
''Not me, Tifa-sama, just you, sweetheart.''
''Huh? You dont wanna come with me?''
''I...I have some important things I must do here.''
''Ahh..kay then.'' Tifa says looking confused.

Then slowly pressed their lips to each other, Tifa grabbing Nissa's hand and coupling it with her's.
''I'll go pack then..I really wish you could come with me, Nissa.''
''Dont worry, Tifa-sama, I'll be fine.'' Nissa smiles.

Tifa leaves the room, heading back to her house. Nissa's plan was set.
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
Outside on the streets, Tidus, and other members of the Zanarkand Abes were passing out flyers and invitations to Tifa's 20th birthday party. Many people looked interested.
''The more the merrier!'' Tidus yelled excitingly.
Rikku spotted Tidus from a distance, so she decided to head over to him to say hi.
''Tidus!'' Rikku shouted.
''Hey, Rikku, have a flyer!'' He hands her one.
''Whats this all about?'' She asked.
''Tifa's 20th birthday party is coming up! Nissa is gonna throw a huge party!''
''N-Nissa, huh....umm..so when is it?'' Rikku ingored the thought of Nissa.
''Sometime next week! Be there!!''
''Oh I will!'' Rikku jumps in excitement.
''Say, where's Yuna?''
''Oh, she's around somewhere! Well, I have to run. Later Tidus!''
''Okay, later!''

Rikku starts running towards the Blitzing Dome, hoping she might find Tifa and talk to her.
''Tifa, Tifa, Tifa, Tifa, Tifa...please be there!'' Rikku thinks to herself.

As she was running, she bumped into someone instantly. Rikku fell to the ground, hurting herself.
''Owwie!'' She moaned.
''Hey, are you ok?'' The person asked.
''Oh yeah, Im fine!'' Rikku responds while getting up.
''Sorry bout that, Im in a rush to get home real quick....hey..arent you Rikku?''
''Yes....but who are you??''
''Oh, don't remember me? Im Tifa Lockheart...I play for the Abes?''
''OHHH TIFA!! You...you cut your hair!!??''
''Yeah...suprised?''
''No,actually I think it looks cute on you!'' Rikku smiles to Tifa, making Tifa blush slightly.
''Ah...thanks.''

They started to walk together, both heading to Tifa's home. As they talked along the way, Tifa couldn't help but take a few glimpses of Rikku's smiling and blushing. She was intrigued by Rikku's child-like innocence, something Nissa lacked.
''So your're heading out of town?'' Rikku asks.
''Yeah...Nissa thought it would be good for me to go somewhere out of the city for a bit...I have no idea where to go...''
''I know! Why don't you ride with us on our airship!?"
''Hm..sounds like fun. I always wanted to get in that thing.''
''It's lotsa fun, hee hee!! We can go sphere hunting!''
''Sphere wha?''
''Trust me, you're gonna be thrilled!! Ahee hee!!''

Rikku grabs Tifa by the hand and rushes her towards the Celcius.
