Author's Note:  Okay guys – The summary sounds pretty serious, but don't let that fool you. This story is actually going to have an insane/comical tone throughout most of it.  Bottom line: Don't take anything you read too seriously. It's only written to amuse. The first chapter is kind of weak…I'm just setting the scene with a little romantic fluff, but trust me – there's a real wacked-up adventure coming up like nothing you've ever seen. And now –

-- On with the show !!

Chapter 1 – Paopu Fruit

Destiny Islands/Beach

Life was good. Good for a fourteen-year-old boy who lived on a beautiful, sunny island with nice family, plenty of friends, and that special girl…the girl who he'd just shared a huge, juicy paopu fruit with…

Sora casually laid there on his favorite palm tree, smiling, with his arms crossed behind his head. He was the happiest boy in the world (in his world, anyway)…Nothing could ruin this special moment with his special girl, Kairi.

They were silent. Kairi watched the sun set with astonishment. Smiling, she turned to Sora. "You know, our destinies have become intertwined now…that makes us more than just friends."

Sora sat up. "Yeah. Riku said that after we eat it, we become a part of each others' lives no matter what. Do you actually believe that stuff?"

Kairi nodded her head. "Yeah, I do. It's romantic. I'm glad you offered to share a paopu with me. I was afraid that if you didn't, Wakka would have asked me first."

They both laughed. "Wakka? Now that's a good one. Actually, I think he has a thing for Selphie." Sora joked.

Kairi giggled as she admired the sparkling ocean. She never got tired of watching the sun set.

Riku was hidden behind some bushes not too far away. Jealousy burned in his eyes as he watched them talking and laughing together. He would have given anything to be in Sora's place right now. Sora was always two steps ahead. It wasn't fair. The silver-haired boy clenched his fists tightly.

"Sora, I…" They gazed into each others' deep blue eyes. Sora wasn't going to wimp out now. He moved closer. His mouth was inches away from hers, when…

…Riku jumped out of the bushes. "HI GUYS!! What'cha up to? Didn't think you'd leave me out of it, did ya?"

Sora and Kairi jumped up in surprise.

Kairi rolled her eyes. "Leave it up to Riku to ruin a special moment…" She sighed.

Sora was ticked. His eyes narrowed. Frowning, he looked up at Riku, who seemed very pleased with himself. "You were spying on us, weren't you?"

Riku put on his best innocent expression. "Spying? No way. Come on Sora, you know I wouldn't do such a thing."

"Alright you two, break it up. Look, it's late. I'll see you tomorrow, Sora." Kairi smiled sadly and started walking home. She hated seeing them fight over her like this.

"Wait! I'll walk you!" Sora raced to catch up with her, leaving Riku alone.

Riku saw the leaves of an eaten paopu fruit on the ground. He cursed aloud and ran home with tears in his eyes.
