I needed to write this, it's been nagging me. This is FFX-2 people on EARTH! And they're going on a road trip! I love road trips! There's gonna be karaoke, teenageyness (ages range from 15 to 20 ish), and some Rippal-y goodness!
Rikku and Yuna lay on their backs staring at the ceiling, watching the fan go round and round.
"Yunie, we're only a week into summer and I'm bored," she stated. Yuna nodded weakly. Rikku rolled over and went to her laptop. "Let's see who's on." Rikku signed onto her instant messaging and saw almost all her friends were online. She made a chat room and invited them all, then drummed her fingers impatiently on the floor. Most responded immediately. Yuna was making shadow puppets on the wall in the high afternoon sun.

The doorbell rang in a matter of minutes and Rikku opened it excitedly. Yuna was still agitated at the fact that Rikku planned a month long trip in a few minutes all by herself. Rikku pulled open the door and suddenly found herself on her back with Gippal on top of her. Her head spun from the impact with the floor.
"Not invited, huh?" he said accusingly, though he was grinning.
"Gerrof me!" she snapped back, struggling against him. "Fatso!" she said, unable to get herself out from underneath him.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah," Gippal said, getting up and pulling a duffel bag into the room and lounging on the couch.
"Other people are coming, y'know!" she said. He just shrugged and tossed his duffel bag to the other couch. Rikku picked it up to put it on the ground and nearly dropped it. "What the hell do you have in here?" she asked. He raised an eyebrow at her. She only raised her eyebrow at him and waited.
"We're going around the country right? Well, we most definitely will be meeting some sexy ladies on the way," he stated coolly.
"What?" Rikku said, unzipping the bag and looking inside. "I'm just going to have to confiscate that, mister!" she said with her face halfway in the bag.
"Those," he corrected with a grin. She took her face out of his bag and sneered at him, rezipping the bag and stomping away to the kitchen. She got back and threw a bag of chips at Gippal, then turned to Yuna.
"Relax Yunie! I've got a car, you've got a car, we'll put different people in the car and we'll drive around to states of our choice!" she said. Yuna didn't look any happier. Yuna's cell phone beeped and she looked down, pulling it out.
"Text from Paine!" she said, opening the message.
How many ppl r comin? It said. Yuna counted off on her fingers. Me, Rikku, Paine, Tidus, Gippal, Baralai, Lenne, Shuyin…eight.
Eight. YRP, GB, LS, and T.
Oh yay. Cramped cars.
Lol
Yuna snapped her cell phone closed and looked as Rikku and Gippal continued to argue about an unknown topic now. She shook her head and rushed to the door as the bell rang again, stopping in front of a mirror quickly to fix her hair, just in case. Tidus, Baralai and Shuyin stumbled inside with their bags. Yuna almost closed the door when Lenne came barreling in. Paine followed not far behind, though she walked in more graceful than any in the bunch had. Yuna finally closed the door and everyone sat down, talking to each other.
"SHUT UP!" Rikku yelled finally. Everyone looked at her except Gippal, who had the bag tipped over on his face trying to get the crumbs out of the bag. Rikku scowled and pushed the bag so it crumbled in his face. "Fatso!" she said.
"Hey…" Gippal said ruefully, looking mournfully at the crumbs that were now stuck to Tidus's hair. Tidus scowled at the two and shook his fingers through his hair, attempting to get the crumbs out. Gippal tried to pick them from his hair, but was rewarded with a slap on his hand. Rikku continued.
"Alright. So we're going around the states. We're not really sightseeing… But us Cali people like road trips okay? We're just going to go! We'll stop for a while each day and get back on the road each morning. We leave tomorrow at nine o' clock! Okay?"
"At night?" Gippal asked. Rikku ignored him, unproductively. "But I can't wake up at nine! I'm already on a noon sleep schedule!"
"We should play some games!" Lenne said. Lenne was always the first one to suggest that they do something fun with their extra time.
"Before we do anything, I nominate that Tidus and Yuna are in the same car!" Rikku added. Yuna gave Rikku the darkest look she could muster. Rikku ignored her.
"I second that." Paine said. Everyone else but Yuna and Tidus raised their hands with an 'I'. Yuna scoffed.
"Fine! Then I nominate Rikku and Gippal are in the same car!" Yuna said, pointing to Rikku. The 'I's in response were much louder this time. Rikku knew that everyone sure got a kick out of watching Gippal annoy her. Everyone else didn't see it that way, though.
"Huh?" Rikku screeched. Gippal got a mischievous smirk on his face and raised his hand. Rikku gave him a disgusted look and turned away with her arms crossed.
"Let's play spin the bottle!" Lenne said. Lenne. The overly happy pop star. Lenne grabbed a bottle of soda that was sitting on the table. At least, it did have soda in it, before Gippal had drunk it all. Everyone immediately gathered around the bottle. Lenne spun the bottle and it landed on Paine.
"Redo!" the girls said.
"Do it!" yelled the guys. Except Baralai, who was probably the chastest of them all. Lenne shook her head and spun the bottle again. It landed on Gippal. Yuna could swear she saw Rikku's jaw drop for a second. But when she turned her head to get a better look, Rikku looked only mildly intrigued. Lenne smiled flirtatiously.
"Hey, Gippal," she said, crawling forward.
"Hey, Lenne," Gippal said before Lenne put her hand on Gippal's cheek and lightly touched her lips to his. She broke into a fit of giggles after she pulled away. Gippal leaned forward and spun it with a smirk. It seemed to spin forever until it landed on Baralai. Baralai stared at it blankly and then looked up at Gippal.
"Gippal… don't do it," he said with his hands out in front of him. Gippal jumped up and walked towards Baralai.
"Come on, Lai!" he said. Baralai stood up and started to run, Gippal in hot pursuit. The group stared silently after them until they heard a scream, and burst into laughter. Gippal came back with a proud smirk and Baralai with a disgusted look. That only made Rikku laugh harder until she was holding onto her stomach from side stitches. Baralai reached out and spun the bottle. It landed on Paine. She flushed and tried her best to keep her eyes on the bottle.
"Good, a girl!" Baralai said, leaning forward and swiftly kissing Paine. Paine's eyes went wide and she just stared at Baralai. He just shrugged and faced forward.
"Whew! It's getting hot in here!" Gippal said. That sent Rikku into another fit of giggles. Paine spun the bottle and it landed on Rikku. Rikku looked from the bottle to Paine and then pushed it with her toe a bit. It changed to Tidus. Tidus looked disgruntled while Paine looked relieved, and Paine got up and lightly pressed her lips to Tidus's. Tidus didn't look happy at all, and spun it quickly. Tidus was a little scared of Paine, so he certainly hadn't ever dreamed of kissing her. The bottle came to a stop. It landed on Yuna.
"Of course," Lenne said. Tidus crawled over and kissed Yuna a little longer than expected. Once he pulled away, Yuna turned red and spun the bottle without a word. It landed on Rikku again. Yuna grinned.
"Rikku!"
"Yunie!" They kissed each other swiftly and then started laughing. They had no problem kissing each other, since they were family. They had been kissing each other at family reunions and such since they were little girls. Gippal and Shuyin stared at them in awe. Rikku reached out and spun the bottle. It landed dead center on Gippal. Rikku looked up at him in shock, sure that it had been rigged. He smiled broadly.
"I'm gettin lucky tonight!" he said.
"NO!" Rikku yelled, leaping up and running away. Gippal ran quickly after her. Gippal seemed completely unconcerned that every person the bottle had landed for him that night had run away from him.
"C'mere Princess!" he yelled. She ran behind the couch and attempted to hide from him there. It was her downfall. He cornered her and tackled her to the ground, pressing his lips anxiously to hers. Rikku had a pained look on her face when he pulled away. "Was it to your satisfaction?" he asked, holding out a hand to help her up.
"You're a sloppy kisser," she stated as she took his hand and got pulled to her feet.
"Well, if you would hold still…" he said. They went back to the group, and Rikku buried her forehead in Yuna's shoulder.
"It was horrible, Yunie!" she whined.
"Yeah, yeah," Gippal said. "Let's play something else."
"Let's play Would You Rather!" Lenne said. "I've got one! Gippal, would you rather make out with Paine or Rikku?" she asked.
"Pft, Rikku," he replied without a breath of hesitation. Yuna and Lenne exchanged glances of sly grins. Paine glared at Gippal. Rikku hid her red face in her hands. Shuyin, Tidus and Baralai mumbled amongst themselves something about Gippal.
"Why?" Lenne asked.
"'Cause she's sexy," Gippal replied, winking at Rikku.
"Eww!" Rikku said, hiding her face again.
"Tidus… would you rather make out with Paine or Yuna?" Gippal asked with a glint in his eye. Tidus's eyes went wide and he looked at Yuna for the shortest moment.
"I'm tired. Let's go to bed," Yuna announced quickly, her face red. Everyone took out their sleeping bags and laid them out.
"C'Mere Rikku! It's beddy-bye time!" Gippal said, holding his arms out as if expecting a hug.
"Hm… nah," she replied, snuggling into her own sleeping bag.
"Don't make me come over there and get you."
"Go ahead and try," Rikku challenged, glaring at Gippal. She suddenly knew that was the wrong thing to say. He was over there in a flash and pulling her sleeping back away from her. He carried her while she was kicking and pushing him to his sleeping back and lay on top of it, wrapping his arms snugly around her waist. She tried and tried, but she couldn't get away. She sighed with defeat and he laughed, snuggling closer to her.
"You're too cute, kid," he said, his warm breath tickling the back of her neck. She grunted at him.
"Yeah, yeah." There was silence for a few minutes except for the faint sound of Gippal whispering into Rikku's ear, attempting to seduce her as best he could in a sleeping bag. Suddenly, a voice piqued up.
"I never got kissed," Shuyin said.
"Aww, I'll kiss you!" Lenne said. They heard rustling and then loud protests.
"OW, Lenne, that's my leg!" Tidus said angrily.
"Sorry! Trying to get to Shu!"
"You found me… and my face."
"Good, that's all I need." The sounds stopped and were replaced by the continuous sound of lips coming apart. Gippal was no longer whispering to Rikku.
"Rikku?" Yuna asked, worried about the silence. I mean, they all expected it to happen someday, but she wasn't sure she wanted to have to listen to it…
"Mmn?" Rikku replied.
"What're you doing?"
"I'm stuck. I can't do much." Yuna laughed in relief and soon, all sound stopped and was replaced by the even breathing of sleep.
