'Ello all.

Basically, a couple of weeks ago, (on New Years!) ChibiFrubaGirl and I were talking a had brainstormed an awesome oneshot which involved Riku as the main character...yeah.

Maybe it sounded better in our heads...

Anyway, I was typing this and it turned out to be longer than a typical oneshot so I'll be writing this in chapters.

I promise it'll get better as it goes on. The beginning is NOT that good.

I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts and c'mon, if I did, I would have Riku show up more in the game. WITHOUT that Ansem disguise. Ew.

And I'd be rich.

Love ya.

It was just an undemanding, comfortable day with no worries at all for Riku, He and the others had come back from their second adventure and Riku was EXAUSTED.

I mean, it was bad enough that he had to tan himself to death like Ansem but wear that black cloak thingy for days on end? C'mon people, it was ninety degrees out there! Riku figured he lost about ten pounds in water weight while he was "Ansem." (That's sweat, for you weirdos who think it's something else.)

So he and the others were at his house, eating fruit and simply enjoying the nice calm day with no worries.

No worries...at...ALL.

Or so he thought.

Sora and Wakka were involved in a paopu eating contest (obviously NOT feeding the other)and as Wakka pushed yet another piece of the succulent fruit into his mouth, Sora shoved one last ripe paopu into his...and promptly ran up the stairs and into the bathroom.

Sighing, Riku tapped jadedly on his black cap which covered his thick mane of silver hair. Kairi followed Sora anxiously and the rest of the group languidly continued to eat. Except for Wakka...who was collapsed on the sapphire colored floor and was wearily sweating paopu.

Yechh.

"Hey Namine, thanks so much for making dinner for us."

"Oh, no problem. I love to cook. You know I started to take classes after the dynamic duo over there burnt down the classroom in Home Ec."

"HEY!! That wasn't OUR fault. The...spinach caught on fire..."

Namine smiled at Aerith. Sora and Kairi fumed in the corner of the kitchen while violently peeling carrots on the mahogany kitchen table and continually slicing their hands open. Everyone was still in Riku's house and it was decided that they were staying for dinner.

"Anyway," Namine softly giggled, "I know it's only been a couple of weeks but I can make spaghetti now! And some other stuff..."

Her voice waned. Aerith grinned at her and clapped her hands together.

"But it's so great that you're making something other than...pasta now..." Aerith smiled painstakingly. Namine had been making enough spaghetti to feed Italy for the past week and since she had to maintain her crazy ass skinny waist, she gave it to everyone else on the stupid island.

Basically, she was sick of anything that resembled noodles.

But thankfully, Namine wasn't making noodles today.

The rest of the gang was either in Riku's kitchen or rioting around the house. Riku, Cloud, Leon and Wakka were outside playing some blitzball while Sora, Kairi, Aerith, and Namine were making dinner.

Random crashes of balls colliding into birdbaths and garden gnomes reverberated throughout the house as Sora itched and whined to go outside.

"NO! You're GOING to help make dinner with us... AREN'T you? After you got us into this. 'Oh, I REALLY wish we could help you guys...' If you want to help, LEAVE me out of it!" Kairi hissed at Sora. She brutally hacked an innocent potato in half while she looked fiercely at a watering eyed Sora.

"Bleargh..." Sora mumbled morosely.
