Rikku and Coffee Do Not Mix
Chapter 1: I TOLD you not give it to her!
By: Chibi-Sorrow
Rikku groaned in displeasure as the sun’s beams shined brightly through her window, waking her up from her sleep. She rolled out of her bed and onto the floor, making a light ‘thump’ as she hit the rug. Somehow, she woke up and found herself half sprawled on her bed and half on the floor. How she slept like that, she may never even know. She slowly lifted herself from the floor and attempted to drag herself to the main room of the inn her and the others had stayed at for the night. She was so tired.
“I knew that pillow fight until three in the morning with Wakka and Tidus would come back to haunt to me in the morning…” she mumbled, cursing under her breath as she tripped on the rug, almost falling flat on her face. Finally, she made her way to the hallway without any major set backs, minus the walking into the wall and forgetting where the door was…
She finally got to the end of the hallway, seeing Lulu and Auron already awake and sitting at a small table. Lulu was sipping something steaming from a mug and Auron was aimlessly staring out the window, a mug like Lulu’s sitting in front of him on the table. Lulu glanced up from her seat and saw Rikku. Rikku gave Lulu a sleepy smile as she was beckoned over by a mere wave of the black mage's hand. Rikku pulled out the remaining chair before promptly slumping down in it. Lulu raised a delicate eyebrow as she looked over to the exhausted Al-Bhed.
“Rikku, what ever is wrong with you? You seem simply drained.” asked Lulu, concerned for the younger girl.
Rikku blinked her eyes awake as she realized she was being addressed by Lulu. “I was up way too late with Tidus and Wakka… Pillow fight… And lucky for them, they sleep through anything, including when the sun decides to hate me.”
“Rikku, being tired will make you sluggish in battle, therefore failing your duty as guardian. Do you really wish to do that?” murmured Auron gruffly as he brought his mug to his lips and taking a sip of the contents. He almost let out a laugh at the glare he received from the Al-Bhed girl, but decided just to act as if he was ignoring her misfortune for a moment.
“Listen, you big meanie! It’s not like I did it purposely! If blondie boy and the big monkey hadn’t attacked me with pillows, I would’ve been asleep long before that.” she pouted, crossing her arms and still slumping in the seat. She heard Auron chuckling lightly, whether over what she called the boys or how she was acting childlike, she didn’t know.
Lulu rolled her eyes, thinking both of them acting childish. She stood up from her seat and walked over to another table on the other side of the room, grabbing a mug and filling it with the steaming liquid Sir Auron and her were currently drinking.
‘This should wake her up a bit, perhaps.' She thought to herself, gliding quietly back over to the table. She sat back down upon her chair and set the mug in front of Rikku’s place on the table. Auron looked over at her sharply, giving her an 'are-you-insane' look. Lulu rolled her red eyes at him again, before looking to Rikku.
“Drink some of that, Rikku. It should help the fatigue quite a bit.” she said gently as she watched Rikku straighten up slightly, looking into the mug and sniffing at it a bit, before looking over at Lulu curiously.
“What is it? It smells like the stuff my father always drank before!” she said as she took the mug in her hands, aware of it being hot after Auron muttered something to her about it.
“It’s Coffee. It’s got plenty of caffeine in it.”
“You sure it’s a good thing to give her that? It supposedly stunts your growth. She’s short enough as it is, we don’t need her any shorter.” said Auron in amusement as he saw the small Al-Bhed quickly get angry with him.
“I am not short! I’m still growing, you big meanie!” she yelled at him, before taking a sip of the Coffee, almost retching at the taste. “Icky! That is gross! What are trying to do, poison me!”
“If we were, it obviously didn’t work…” muttered Auron, earning a slap over the back of the head from Rikku. He looked back to her, his glasses sliding off the end of his nose as he glared at her and she glared right back. Lulu sighed in displeasure, closing her eyes and putting a hand to her forehead, shaking her head slightly.
'These two are impossible…’ She thought to herself, before looking up to Rikku who was trying to take another sip of the coffee while Auron was now staring back out the window.
“Rikku, it may taste bad, but if it wakes you up, it’s useful.” said Lulu as she finally decided to ignore the two. Rikku nodded her head, still sipping from the coffee, deciding now that the taste wasn’t all that bad.
One hour and seven cups of coffee later…
“I told you it was a horrible idea to give her that!” yelled Auron over the loud noise, which was actually Rikku, to Lulu. Lulu gave him a glare that basically said that if looks could kill, he’d be… Well, not dead…
“I didn’t think she’d act like this! Are you presuming it’s my fault!” growled Lulu as she yelled right back at him. The others, already awake by one way or the other because of Rikku, stared in amazement as the small thief bounded around the room, giggling like a maniac and occasionally yelling, jumping up and down on all means of furniture.
“Whoa, man… What was in that coffee and where can I get some?” mumbled Tidus in amazement before Lulu hit him upside the head, shutting him up.
“Lulu, how much did she have? She’s acting like a six year old, ya?” questioned Wakka as he stared at Rikku, who was currently bouncing around the room insanely. Kimarhi stood ever-passive as Rikku stared at him curiously in her insane state, before figuring she was bored with him and ran off again
“Again, what was in that coffee? I think she might be good against fiends…” Tidus blinked as he watched Rikku now run around a bit more before finally, and strangely, crawling up Auron’s back and finally setting herself on his shoulders, smiling gleefully in great delight as she just sat there. He had a scowl on his face, though it was difficult to see from behind the large collar.
“Must you insist on sitting on me, girl?” he questioned, trying to keep himself from Bushido-ing Tidus and Wakka’s laughing asses to the Farplane. She, somehow, bent her head down to look him, giving him a large grin. He felt more than saw her nodding her head.
“Yup!” she shouted enthusiastically. She continued to sit there as he let out a huff before walking towards the exit of the inn.
“Sir Auron?” inquired Yuna as she watched her dear cousin and the stoic older guardian start to leave the inn.
“We leave now. We must continue to get the legendary weapons for the rest of you.” He commanded, ducking as he went through the door of the inn, so to not hit her in the head.
‘She does not need anymore brain damage for that mush she has in there as it is...’ he thought smugly before grimacing as a fiend appeared. He noticed that Rikku still sat upon his shoulders, doing only Yevon knows what up there. He could hear her fiddling with something...
"BOOM!" he heard Rikku shout as he jumped a bit at the sudden noise, turning back and looking to see that where the fiend had been, there was now a mass of Pyreflies floating away and disappearing. He shook his head as he waited for the others to catch up somewhat, before going onward again to their next destination.
‘This is going to be a long day…’
