Final Fantasy - All Series Fan Fiction ❯ Flashbacks ❯ A little joke ( Chapter 1 )

“Gippal , you big meanie ! “ Rikku said .

 

“ Haha , can't Cid's little girl handle a little joke ? “ Gippal answered

 

“ You call this a `little' joke ? “she was trying to get ride of all the sand in her pants.

 

“ Hey ya … “ Gippal started scratching his hair . “ You're such a sisi only for a little sand !”

 

“ First I do can handle a joke .Second I do can handle sand , but not if you put it in my pants ! And third I've got a name and it's not Sisi or Cid's little girl . You do the math …” Rikku glared at him and then walked away .

 

Gippal raised his hand “ Hey , wait up . “ He ran after her . “ A come on , don't be mad . I'm just teasing you … “

 

Rikku turned and looked at him , her eyes were blur and her cheeks red .

 

“ Are you crying ? “ Gippal asked feeling guilty .

 

“ I'm not crying ! “ Rikku yelled , she covered her face with her hands .

 

he walked towards her “ Yes you are … “ he stood real close and looked into her eyes . “ I know you , girl , I know when you are sad . Why is my question …”

 

“ No , I'm not crying , and I'm not sad . “ She whispered “ Leave me alone “ She pushed him away .

 

“ No , I'm not leaving until you say why you are crying . “ He replied whispering

 

“ leave me alone , Gippal , I'm not in the mood for your silly games . “

 

“ I'm serious …”

 

“ No , you're not ! You were never serious and you'll never be serious , please leave!”

 

Gippal crossed his arms , stubborn as ever “ I'm not leaving .”

 

“Leave ! “

“No ! “

“Leave !”

“No !”

“Leave !”

“No ! “

“ This is enough : LEAVE ME ALONE !!! “ Rikku screamed .

 

 

“ What is wrong with you ? You've changed …” He was irritated

 

Rikku was speechless , he was telling that to her ? He was the one who left , he was the one who changed , he was the one with the problem …

 

“ I've changed ? Look who's talking ! “ Rikku went furious .

 

“ You used to be my best friend , Gippal ! you used to comfort me when I felt down .

you told jokes , you made me laugh , you used to protect me . Giving me that feeling I was special , giving me that feeling that someone needed me , someone cared for me , someone loved me …

We played together . We searched machina together and after that we fixed them together . We did everything together , we were a team . But everything went wrong .

You started to ignore , bully and tease me . And that was not enough ! O no !

Mister left me and the others in disarray to join some squad …

You're the one who changed , not me ! And fine don't leave , I'll leave . “

 

Rikku ran away but then she turned

 

“ You want to know why I'm crying ? “ her tears wouldn't stop “ Well , you're the reason and I would appreciate it if you leave me alone , forever .

I don't want to see you ever again , understand ?”

 

Now Gippal was the one speechless . He saw that he really hurted her , the girl he loved the most of all .

 

“ I ..I…”

 

“ Understand ? “ Rikku asked again .

 

Gippal didn't answered . The only thing he did , was making circles in the sand with his foot. Did she meant all those things ? He stood there shocked …

Gippal didn't answered .

" I will take that as a yes . " Rikku said already stepping away .
