--------------------------------------------------------------

It a a sunny afternoon in Twilight Town where a young girl about fourteen years old was sitting on top of a hill overlooking some railroad tracks that ran through this area. She was flipping through an old scrapbook that had belonged to her since she was a young girl. There were pictures of the island she used to live on. There were snapshots of the ocean, the trees, and the two boys she had lived with, a long-haired blonde and a spiky-haired brunette. She flipped to a page and saw this one photograph that had caught her eye. It was one with her and the brown-haired boy. He had his arm around her and they looked as happy as could be. She smiled faintly.

"I knew I'd find you here Kairi."

Kairi jumped at the voice of her friend, Namine. Her scrapbook was now on the ground like an old piece of trash that no one wants to touch. She quickly picked it up and brushed it off. "How did you know I'd be here?"

Namine looked at her as if she was stupid. "Are you kidding me? You're always here. I know you miss the island, but Twilight Town really isn't that bad once you give it a chance." She crossed her arms. "Now, c'mon. Everyone is going over to Hayner's. There's supposed to be a big party over there. you need to come. It would take your mind off the island." Namine held out her hand to help Kairi up, giggling. "Plus, it wouldn't be much fun without you."

Kairi smiled and took her hand. They headed off toward the usual spot where they would get ready for the party.

It was nearly silent the entire way over there. Kairi couldn't stop thinking about how Sora had stayed on the island, not wanting to come back here. She sighed. Should she have stayed with him? Should she have made him come? Well, its not like she could change anything now. Maybe someday she would go back to that island and meet up with Sora again. It had been at least a year since everyone was reunited at the island for the first time in a long time.

Kairi and Namine had entered the usual spot and found Hayner and Olette sitting on the couch, making out.

"Woah!" Namine said, eyes gigantic. "What is going on here?"

Olette quickly got off the sofa and brushed her dress off. She was smirking at Namine. "Oh, c'mon, Namine. You've known we were going out ever since the day we went to the Sandlot, remember?"

Namine was playing dumb. "Nope, doesn't ring a bell." She smirked back. She was actually the one who got them together in the first place. Kairi had been there, and so had Roxas, Namine's boyfriend.

"Oh lay off her, will ya?" Hayner said, stepping in. "Just because you and Roxas never do anything, doesn't mean we never will."

Kairi couldn't help letting out a giggle.

Namine looked offended. "Excuse me? You know that I would love to do that kind of thing with Roxas but..."

"Umm... Namine?" Olette said quietly.

"Hang on... but he is just apparently too shy to do anything with me!"

"Oh am I?"

Namine whirled around and to her surprise, saw Roxas standing at the entry way. "Roxas! I..."

Before she could say anything else, Roxas grabbed her and they kissed for what it seemed hours. Hayner even looked at his watch jokingly when Kairi looked at him. She smiled, and then they were finally done.

"Wow." Namine said.

"Wow." Roxas replied.

Kairi's throat went dry, wishing that was her and Sora instead of Roxas and Namine.

"Well, I'm going back to my place to get ready for the party tonight. See ya there!" With that, Olette walked out, heading toward her house.

"Ditto." said Hayner, but instead of his home, he followed Olette to hers.

Namine grinned. "Don't they make a cute couple?"

"Sure do." Replied Roxas. He was starting to put a nicer shirt on for tonight.

Namine paused, waiting for Kairi to say something, but when she never did she said "Kairi? Don't you think they do?"

She shrugged. "Sure."

Namine sighed. "Kairi, can you at least try to have fun at Hayner's?"

She shrugged once more. "Yeah, ok."

"Well, I'm going to get dressed. You should do the same." Namine went into the bathroom with all her clothes and cosmetics with her.

Kairi gathered up her stuff and changed right there. Everyone was really good friends and they all trusted one another, so it really wasn't a big deal. Namine never thought it was, so why had she gone into the bathroom to change?

Roxas didn't seem puzzled about it and didn't think twice about Kairi stripping right in front of him and putting on this really cute outfit she had picked out the day before. It was a pale pink halter top with a darker pink design on the front. It came with a matching skirt that was the same color as the design on her shirt. She put on some designer sandals that were also the same shade of dark pink, and she curled her hair. She thought she looked extremely good in this outfit, and wished Sora could see her in it.

Namine walked out of the bathroom and said "How do I look?"

Roxas turned to look, and I swear I saw drool near his mouth. Namine was in a white strapless dress with matching white platform shoes. Her make-up was done perfectly and she looked great.

Roxas looked at her, and after a long pause, he said "Woah... you look..."

Namine finished for him, "Perfect?"

"Better than perfect." he smiled admiringly at her.

She smiled back.

Kairi was putting on her make-up still. She had just glance ad Namine, and didn't say a word.

Namine looked annoyed. "Kairi? Do I look ok?"

Kairi stopped. Of course she knows she looks ok, she just wants me to say it. She looked up. "You look great." she smiled half-heartedly.

Namine grinned, picking up her white handbag from the couch. "Thanks! You about ready?"

Kairi finished up putting on her mascara. "Yep. How do I look?"

Namine barely glance at her and said "Good." she turned to Roxas, leaving Kairi feeling hurt. "You ready yet?"

"Yeah, let's go."

They walked to Hayner's house, Kairi not saying a word the whole way while Namine and Roxas talked to each other the entire way. They arrived at the house and there was a huge crowd just stadning outside of the house.

Kairi pushed through some people until she met up with Olette. "Hey, what's going on?"

"Didn't you hear? Someone set Hayner's house on fire!" Olette had this worried expression on her face. "And Hayner hasn't come out yet."

Kairi stopped breathing for a second, her heart pounding. She really cared about Olette, and would hate to see her get hurt. She knew Roxas wouldn't go in, and Sora wasn't here. Plus, no one really knew Hayner like our group did. Without thinking, she leapt over the yellow "Warning!" tape that encircled the area, and rushed inside of the house.
