“Thanks again for letting me stay here Mrs. Dincht,” Rikku said to the portly Mrs. Dincht, otherwise known as “Ma Dincht”, that afternoon as she came into the house dragging her suitcase behind her. “Pops and Brother left me behind when they went to Bikanel, as usual.”
“We’re more then happy to have you Rikku, dear,” Ma Dincht smiled. She and Rikku’s father, Cid, had been friends for a long time, ever since college, and so Rikku often stayed at her home when her father and her brother went on long business trips to Bikanel Island. “You know where the guest room is.”
“Sure do,” Rikku said, lugging the case up one stair.
“Zell!” Ma Dincht called and Rikku grimaced. “Zell, come and help Rikku with her suitcase!”
“Do I have to?” Rikku looked up to see none other then Zell Dincht walking towards the top of the stairs, tootbrush in his mouth, wearing only his blue plaid boxer shorts.
“At least get some pants on!” Rikku shouted, and Zell looked down and turned a beet red as he saw Rikku at the foot of the stairs.
“Jeez, Ma! You could have told me!” he shouted, running back into his room and returning quickly wearing a pair of pajama pants.
Rikku sighed and blushed a cherry red. She and Zell had been family friends for awhile now, but the two were constantly at one another’s throats. Ever since they were kids, they could always be found teasing one another. “Just help me upstairs.”
Zell ran down the stairs and grabbed the luggage, hauling it up. “Man! You need all this stuff for one week?”
“Yes!” Rikku said. “You stupid head! And don’t you dare go peeking through my suitcase!”
“Like I’d actually snoop through your stuff!” Zell said defensively, throwing the suitcase onto the guest bed. “I’m going to my room to do my homework.”
“More like going to the kitchen to eat ice cream,” Rikku frowned.
“Hey! Shotgun on Rocky Road!” Zell grinned and Rikku’s jaw fell.
“You meanie! You know I have to unpack my stuff!”
“Whatever! If you go fast, then maybe you can get a scoop or two!” Zell teased as he ran down the stairs. Rikku gave a loud “humph!”, then walked over to the door and slammed it shut.

“Man, Rikku sure is taking awhile,” said Zell, scooping another spoonful of Rocky Road ice cream into his mouth. As he chewed, he looked up around the door where the stairs were. “She’s probably trashing my room or something! So much revenge for just a little ice cream!”
Zell grinned and ran through the kitchen, up the stairs and peeked his head into his room to find it untouched. “So far…” he murmured to himself. He looked back down the hall to see Rikku’s door shut. “She’s probably getting stuff in her room. Heh, well two can play that game…” Zell grinned as he scrambled down into the kitchen and threw open the refrigerator.
He searched for only a few moments before grabbing two cans of whipped cream. He shut the door using his foot and sprinted back up the stairs, the two cans of cream still in his hand. “Ultimate revenge…” Zell chuckled as he stationed himself outside of Rikku’s room. He put the second can in the crook of his arm, grabbed the brass knob slowly and threw open the door.
“Hyaaaah! Whipped cream revenge!” he shouted, running in and spraying the white sugary cream all over his guest.
“You PERVERT!”
Zell looked up at what he had done and gasped, his eyes wide.
Rikku was currently standing in the middle of the room wearing nothing except some very sexy, very lacey white lingerie. Her hair was wet, and it was obvious she had just come out of a shower. Only now, she was covered in whipped cream, making it look like Zell and she were about to do something extremely inappropriate.
“EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING?” she screamed and Zell immediately turned tail and ran from the room, Rikku slamming the door behind her.

”Well, thanks to you, Mr. Peeping Tom, I had to take TWO showers!” Rikku grunted, stuffing ice cream into her mouth at the kitchen table, now fully clothed and not sticky. Zell was still extremely red and refused to look Rikku in the eye.
“S-s-s-sorry!”
“You’d better be!” Rikku frowned, spooning more ice cream into her bowl. “You’re cleaning up the whip cream in the guest room! Your mom will kill you if you don’t!”
“I didn’t mean the whip cream…”
Rikku and Zell both blushed and Rikku looked down at her ice cream. She stuck her spoon in, as if to break the silence, and put it in her mouth. When she drew it out, some ice cream was still left, stuck to the spoon. She held it out to Zell. “Open your mouth.”
“Huh?”
“You called shotgun, didn’t you?” she asked. Zell looked down at the spoon, and then smiled at Rikku. He put his mouth over the spoon as well, finishing off the ice cream. “Taste good?”
“Yeah,” Zell smiled. “But it could use some whipped cream.”
The End!
