"Hey Sam are you okay?" Selphie asked walking up behind the paopu tree where I was sitting.
"Yeah I'm fine" I jumped off the tree to face her
"Why aren't you with Sora, Riku, and Kairi? Come to think of it, you haven't been around any one much lately, why is that?"
"I don't know. Its just that Sora and Riku seem like there always trying to impress Kairi, and when i'm around them I feel ignored like they don't want me there"
"Oh, come on, of corse they want you around. About an hour ago Sora asked me, Tidus, and Wakka if we knew where you had been this past week and why you seemed so sad, he sounded worried"
"Really?"
"Yeah, I think you should at least tell them you're alright"
"Okay, I will" I started walking over the bridge "Oh, and Selphie... thanks"
"Your welcome" I smiled at her then went to go find the others. As I was walking I saw Riku. He looked like he was working on something.
"Hey, Riku!" I ran over to him
"Hey Sam, where've you been all week?" He stopped what he was doing and turned around to face me.
"Mostly in the secret spot, looking at what we drew on the walls when we were younger and mindlessly starring at the door, trying to think of what to write"
"Well did you get any ideas?"
"There is one I've been working on" I twiddled my thumbs
"Can I hear some of it?"
"Not right now, I need to find Sora. Do you know where he is?"
"Yeah he's looking for you. I think he went to the secret spot"
"Okay thanks" I hugged him then went off to the secret spot to look for Sora. When I got to the cave entrance I was just about to go in when...
"Sam!" Tidus came running over to me, when he reached me he stopped and panted "Finally I found you. You know Sora's been looking for you all day"
"So I've heard. I was just about to see if he was in the cave, thats were Riku said he was" I said giving him a small smile
"Oh okay, well if he's not in there I'll tell you if I see him" Tidus stood up straight looking more energetic then he did five seconds ago
"Okay" Tidus ran off. I walked into the cave. I could hear someone talking
"Was it something I said was it something I did!" I kept walking in till I got to the opening, I saw Sora walking around practically yelling at himself "even if she did make it through the door why!was it Riku? Kairi? me!?" he hit the wall.
"Umm...Sora?" I walked in slowly "Is everything okay?"
"Sam?...Sam!" He ran up and hugged me lifting me off the ground "I'm so glad your still here" he put me down.
"Duh I'm still here, where else would I be?"
"I kinda thought you found a way through the door" he put a hand on the back of his head giving a stupid smile. I giggled.
"Why would I do that"
"Well the last time that I saw you looked sad, and kind of lonely."
"What if I was just board? board and sad faces look alike"
"But I've never seen you not smiling, even when your board you still have a semi smile, Plus you went missing for a week" It took me a minute to respond to what he had just said everything he had said I don't feel sad just really confused about everything, especially my dreams lately they seem so real. But I didn't want to tell that to Sora he would think I'm crazy.
"Changing subject! Come on lets go see what everyones doing" I said excitedly taking Sora's hand and dragged him out of the cave and to the paopu tree where Riku and Kairi were waiting.
"Hey Sora where have you been?" Riku asked
"Well...umm...I..."
"He was talking to himself, good thing I came along or he would have gone insane" I laughed, Kairi and Riku did to.
"I think it's a little late for that. So can I hear it now?" Riku asked
"Oh did you write another song?" Kairi asked cheerfully
"Umm yeah kind of"
"Well then come on lets hear it" Sora encouraged
"Ok ok
when you walk away
you don't hear me say please
oh baby, don't go
simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight
it's hard to let it go
Hold me
whatever lies beyond this morning
is a little later on
regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all
nothings like before
thats all I have, but its not finished yet" (for the people who don't know that was part of the kingdom hearts theme song simple and clean)
"Wow Sam that was amazing!" Kairi cheered
"Yeah it was awesome"
"What ya gonna call it?" Sora asked
"I don't know, you know i'm not good with naming songs"
"Hey we should help you name it!"
"Good idea Kairi, but first Riku toss me a paopu I'm hungry"
"Who you gonna share it with?"
"Hold on let me think... me... myself... and I now give" I held out my hand and he tossed me the fruit.
"Hey I gotta go, see you later" Kairi waved as she left.
"Ok see ya" we all waved goodbye.
"So why did you want to know if I was gonna share this with anyone?" I toke a bite of the fruit.
"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives no matter what." After Riku finished I smirked and turned to Sora.
"Hey Sora wanna piece?" his face started to turn a light pink, I laughed "Don't worry I'm only kidding. I was really gonna ask Riku" I turned to Riku "so what do ya say?" we all started to laugh. Today was turning out better than I expected, I thought that I was going to once again just sit alone looking at the sky thinking of everything that was going through my mind but instead I was with my friends.
"Sora, got everything for the raft?"
"Yep just finished collecting the food today"
"Your making a raft! and you didn't invite me to come along!"
"Well I was going to when I found you"
"Then why didn't you?"
"I kinda forgot"
"Oh well, I'm coming with you anyway, what are you doing tomorrow?"
"We're going to set sail" Riku answered
"Wow I got a lot of warning didn't I. Hum maybe I should grab some paopu fruit for the two of you to share on the raft" I joked.
Sora and Riku looked at me then each other and nodded. I knew what that meant, I started running and they started chasing me, lucky for me I was able to stay ahead of them. I ran all the way around the island, they were stating to catchup. I ran up into the treehouse. When I got there I realized that they had me cornered. I looked around for a way to get out when I saw the window, I jumped out. Riku and Sora ran to the window, I looked up from off the ground and waved at them then ran off in the other direction. As soon as I was where I wanted to be, I climbed a tree and waited for them to get within sight. Once I saw them I sat and watched to see how long it would take for them to realize that I was right above them.
"Are you two really that clueless" I said. Sora looked around a little confused, and I laughed at him, while Riku looked up then started to climb the tree thinking I didn't know he was there, but right before he got to the top I jumped over to the next one(hey if they can jump on trees in the game than I can too) then the next and the next with Riku behind me, in till there was a jump that looked really far neither Riku or Sora had ever made it. I looked over the gap thinking. Riku stopped on the tree behind me.
"You cant make that" I looked at him turned away, backed up a little, ran, and jumped. I landed on the tree. I was safe and they couldn't reach me.
"How did she make that jump" Riku said in amazement.
"Yes! I made it! and you cant reach me" I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Maybe he cant, but I can" Sora said, I turned around to see Sora standing right behind me. Seeing that he was right behind me startled me so I jumped back, forgetting that I was on a tree, and fell, Usually I wouldn't worry about falling from a tree but this was one of the taller ones and I hate falling from high highest. I was shore that I was going to fall to my death(just a small excitation) but Sora grabbed my arm just in time.
"Sora do not let go, if you do I will kill you"
"Nice thing to say to the person who's saving you from falling. Plus I'm only saving you, so that I can kill you" He pulled me up as far as he could but it was enough I managed to get back up. Once I was back on I climbed down, kinda slowly.
"Are you alright?" Riku asked
"Yep I'm good"
"Oh good then I can do this" Sora tackled me and we fell to the ground and started laughing.
"Will you two stop flirting, it's almost sunset"
"We're not flirting!" We shouted at Riku
"Whatever, come on" I ran over and punched him in the arm "Now you'r gonna get it" He picked me up and threw me over his shoulder, then started walking to the paopu tree.
"Put me down!" I yelled and started kicking, it was no use "Sora help!"
"Sorry but... no"
"Well your nice, and you put me down"
"Don't worry I'll be putting you down soon"
"No! I don't want to get wet!"
"Too bad your going to" he was at the edge of the land, thing that the tree was on, getting ready to throw me.
"Riku please, you know I don't like falling" He haft threw me, making me scream, then put me down. "I hate you, I really do" He laughed, I went over to Sora and punched his arm.
"Ow, what was that for!"
"That was for not helping me"
"Oh come on we were just joking" Riku said.
"I know" I smiled and looked over at the sun then back at Sora and Riku "I love you guys, like brothers of corse"
"We know" Sora said
"I thought you hated me" Riku crossed his arms.
"I do, with a passion that just burns in my soul" We had a short laugh then looked at the sun for a minute "Hey, I have to go" I hugged Sora then Riku "See you tomorrow" I went home.
