Chapter 1: Summer Blues

Welcome back, everyone! It's good to have these guys back! Now, let's get started.

Sometime in the summer

Well, life these days has been peachy. I'm finding out all sorts of things and re-experiencing things I really didn't want to experience.

Kairi and Tidus are doing well, for one. On occasion, Tidus gets angsty because of Yuna, but they're dandy other than that.

Nami and Roxas are so cute together. I'd like to take credit for all of it, but I know I can't because...I just can't. They aren't like anybody else. They don't have pet names for each other--although Roxas calls Nami "Namida" when he's being really sweet or really serious--so they call each other by their actual names. It's cute, for real. If they had pet names, it would seem cheesy. The only bad thing is that Nami confides to him more than me now. Oh well. At least she's happy.

Selphie and Wakka are gone still. I guess they aren't coming back. Liars. Oh well. Selphie always kinda got on my nerves, and I really never talked to Wakka. So why does it matter? Then again, Selphie and Wakka livened things up, and I kinda need that now...

Namine and Riku...where to start. Those two are getting on way faster than one would've expected. Considering six months ago they weren't even talking. Now they're connected at the hip, in more ways than one. Seriously, those two are doing it every other weekend! Well, I can't really prove that yet, but Nami told me that she's noticed--and I have, too, come to think of it--that they are never in their room on certain nights, and they don't come back until noon-ish the next day.

As for me...well, things started out perfect. It's only been these past few months that have me troubled. He's gone so much now. Stupid King Mickey. At first I totally understood; he wanted to know what all had happened after I had left his castle perimeters. But, Jiminy Christmas™, every other week is ridiculous! I don't even know what's going on. Said he couldn't talk about it, that I'd "understand later." It's really pissing me off. Royally so.

I don't know what I should do. The last thing I need is to be away from him. I think he's leaving again later tomorrow. I can't be sure. Nothing is communicated anymore.

Nothing is simple anymore.

I guess that's how we roll, yo.

Summer

Life is fine. I guess I should be a little happier. It's just...my mind is troubled. I know it has to do with Sora leaving and all, and Kira's stressed, too. But maybe it means something. I can't talk to anyone but Roxas about this type of thing anymore anyway. Namine is never around to talk. She's too busy making love with her boyfriend, or so we suspect. I think it's time for some spring cleaning.

And a hardcore round of I Never.

Anyway, Kairi and Tidus are usually off somewhere messing around and socializing. Kira's too stressed to intake anything.

Poor thing! Sora leaves like EVERY OTHER WEEK. I would be pissed if I were her. I mean, he won't even tell anyone what's going on. She probably doubts he even loves her now. I know he does. When they're together, there's something special there. I can just tell. It would ruin life as we know it if something happened to their relationship.

Guess that's all I have to say.

That's really all I feel.

--Nami--

It's the summertime!

Life is great. It's never been better. I can't even think of the last time I felt this way. It was probably when Sora came home with Riku a few years ago. ...Nah...this is way better! Okay, so I will admit I miss Selphie and Wakka. Selphie was a lot like a sister to me. I mean, I love Kira and Nami and Namine to death, but Selphie and I were, like, TIGHT SOUL SISTERS! And now she's off livin it up somewhere. Probably better there than here!

Seriously. Namine is a total slut now. Her and Riku...ugh. He spoils her rotten! And I can honestly say I'm NOT jealous! They're going to make a mistake like last time and they're gonna be SO SORRY. It's gonna be worse than last time, though. Rrrgh, I have TOTALLY tried talking to Namine but she listens to NOTHING I say. I might try talking to Riku. He might actually LISTEN.

On another subject, I am seriously about to kill Sora. If he leaves one more f...reaking time, I will kick his...butt. Poor Kira, poor, poor Kira. He was gone long enough that one time, so why does he think it's suddenly okay to just waltz around? She's pathetic to point of almost annoyingness. It's sad. How dare he...?!

If I were her, I would pummel him.

Finally, we have quiet quiet quiet Nami. Quieter than ever. It's like someone sealed her mouth shut to everyone but Roxas. Which is absolutely no fun. Besides that, everything is fine.

If you can call it that.

Kairi~~

I FEEL AWESOME.

No seriously. Never been better. Wish life could've been like this for forever. It's like a total turn-around from six months ago. Very much so, too. If you know what I mean.

I know people--cof cof roomies-are talking about us like the latest gossip. Kairi's talked to me about it. It doesn't bother me. If something bad happens, OH WELL. It's our mistake. They act like we're children. Maybe technically I'm still a minor, but WHATEVER. A month will change that. Maybe Kairi forgot that little detail. We celebrate the same birthday, after all.

She's probably too busy worrying. Hah, I remember when that used to be my thing. Although, I'll admit I'm worried about Kira-chan-ee, as Nami calls her. Stupid Sora. How unreliable can one even be? I mean, c'mon, you could at least spend the time with the poor girl for one month straight, which, Sora, may I remind you, you haven't done for four months. She is allowed to beat you up for that. Everyone thinks this.

Am I the only non-worrywart girl left on the islands? Where's Selphie when you need her? And Wakka? What is up with that? "Oh yeah, we'll be back to visit." BS!

I don't talk to Nami much anymore. I really should, I suppose. I feel bad.

Can't wait for tomorrow! ...Okaaaay, I know someday I might actually regret this, but I don't care anymore. My future is practically set in stone. As long as Sora and/or Kira don't drag us into any more adventures...
