The quiet heat of the afternoon was broken by the sounds of children of various ages running through the streets. Among them was a tall blond girl wearing a very strange outfit indeed, with the bows along the arms and what appeared to be a yellow string bikini. As she passed she saw the boy standing a short distance away and came to a stop, bringing the rest of the gaggle to a halt as well.

Rikku trotted over to the boy then, and while jogging in place and simultaneously making a paddling motion with her hands, she jumped right into a conversation with him (how intrusive).

"Hey! You look really hot!" She said cheerfully. "You should come down to the pier with us. We're going swimming! No better way to beat the heat, so come on lets go!" And with that, she grabbed hold of his arm and started dragging him off down the street with the assistance of her personal mob.
