“Rikku, good thing you’re back. Sephiroth’s been making some weird noises for a while in there.” Gippal smirked at he pointed towards the awkwardly large mansion.
“Granddad’s been what?”
Rikku shook her head. She sure has a weird family that is always doing unusual stuff. To start it off, there’s her creepy grandfather. He’s the one always giving everyone the creeps with his weird smile; it was as if he’d cracked or something. And he’s forever droning on about something called Jenova, which from Rikku’s point of view, was a dirty and smashed up lump of metal which is always dripping with some weird emerald liquid. Here he goes again, carrying it like some treasure and fiddling with it lovingly while calling out “Mother” repeatedly.
Sure seems like he’s really cracked.Then there was, Rikku’s grandma. She was abnormally slim and well, you could say she was pretty, which was the most surprising thing to expect from some eighty year old or so granny. From what she heard from Dad, she was a sorceress, that’s probably the reason as to how she could keep her youth. Speaking of the devil, here she comes, sashaying up towards Sephiroth. You’d think she wouldn’t be able to stand such a turnoff as her granddad but well, it is worse. Ultimecia doesn’t even care. Well, it seems that she and Sephiroth’s relationship had long gone down the gorge ever since god knows when. The case seems even more so after the great Vayne Solidor made his great entrance. From what Rikku heard, this time from her mother, there was a point when Ultimecia still bore hope for the two’s relationship but seems so that Sephiroth wouldn’t seem to cooperate. Well, their fate was sealed when Vayne stepped into the whole relationship by seducing Ultimecia during her worst days. Ultimecia obviously welcomed him as she was so very deprived from company for such a long time. To this, Selphie admit helplessly that there was nothing she could do to stop it. She was just a daughter-in-law after all, if Irvine, Ultimecia’s own son didn’t even bother, what could she do?
If these two characters weren’t weird enough, there was still Irvine and Selphie, Rikku’s very own parents. How two such different people would be able to come together as man and wife was still a mystery, even more so of a mystery when Irvine was such a lady’s man. He enjoyed any woman’s company and women enjoyed his. It is indeed a wonder how Selphie could keep this man stuck in marriage for such a long time. And that’s not even the most mysterious thing. The most mysterious and ironic thing was that how such lively and happy people as these two could give birth to two sons who seemed to be fated to be stuck with depression since the time of birth. There was Squall, the elder brother of the two. If you could describe him with one word, it’d definitely be paranoid. He’s always thinking way too much and in a pessimistic way too. He feels insecure about every relationship he gets into, no matter friendship or love. Then there was the younger brother of the two, Cloud. He would be the quiet, depressed guy who needs lessons on anger management. Both he and his brother, Squall, have always been problematic. Most of the time, they were problems revolving around emotional matters. They certainly need counseling. Thankfully, this problem has been improving ever sine both of them acquired wonderful girlfriends such as Rinoa and Tifa. The liveliness of these two beautiful girls has certainly brightened up the dreary atmosphere hanging off them. There was one thing you could say whenever you see them hanging out with their girlfriends.
God has been kind to them.That was what Rikku thought as she saw the four of them walk through the large iron gates of the mansion together. Well, this was her family, an awfully weird family but even so, it was where she belonged in.
