Chapter 1

Kairi awoke to the sound of her cell phone going off. She opened her eyes and found bright golden light flooding her room. It was about 9:00am. A little late for her to wake up. She might be late on meeting Naminè, Sora, Riku, Roxas and Selphie. Quickly Kairi grabbed her pink cell phone to see who the text was from.

9:13 : Hey Cuppicake! :] U up yet?
9:14 - Morning Naminè :) Yeah I'm up. What time are we to meet up?
9:16 : Well me & Sora r gana walk 2 the store w/ Roxas & Riku. Then Sora is going home 2 take a shower and meet us at the island.
9:17 - Why are you guys going to the store?
9:19 : 'Cuz we r bored :] hey u gana meet me my house w/ Selphie?
9:20 - Yup! see you then :)
9:20 : kk! c ya :]

As Kairi closed her phone she got out of her bed. She set her phone down and took off to take a shower. Before she passed by her dresser she stopped and picked up a picture off the dresser. A smile lite up her face. The picture was of her,Sora,Riku,Roxas and Naminè all on the island. Together. Selphie had taken the picture. She set it back down and took a shower.
She came back and picked up her phone to check the time. 9:40am. Time to go get Selphie. So Kairi took her cell and walked out the door. When she got outside she could see the clear blue sky. Not even a cloud. The smell of summer still lingered in the air around her. Rays of gold from the sun felt warm on Kairi's skin. Soon summer would be over and fall would come. The leaves on the trees that were green now would soon be red,orange, yellow or brown. And school would start. First year in high school. Kairi sent a text to Selphie.

9:43 - Hey Selphie you ready to go to Naminè's?
9:43 : Yup! Come by anytime! :)
9:44 - Okay I'll be there in a bit. Do you want to stop by the cafè on our way to Naminè's?
9:44 : Sure!
9:445 - Okay! See you when I get there :)

Kairi looked up from her phone for the first time. Trees and green surrounded her. The smell of pine and sunshine danced along with the breeze. The grass beneath her feet was soft and the sun fell through the trees in warm patches of light. Kairi had walked to Selphie's house many times. But somehow she ended up here. It was part of a park. A place were Kairi and her friends came a lot. They loved this place but Namine's favorite place was by a creek that ran through a part of the park.
Something caught Kairi's attention out of the corner of her eye. It shined yellow. Carefully she walked over to it. A paopu fruit on a silver chain. It reminded her of the island. Of all the amazing times they all had there. Kairi picked it up and held it in her hand. It felt cold. But somehow the familiar yellow warmed her at the same time. She put it in her pocket and set off to Selphie's house.
Kairi went to knock but before she could Selphie tackled her.

"Kairi! You know your kinda late right? It's 10!" Selphie practically screamed at her. Selphie had always been hyper. Her smile could have matched the intensity of the sun. Still Kairi was very happy to see her. She hadn't seen her in a while.

"Hey Selphie! It's been a while. So you ready to go? You got your money for the cafè?" Kairi asked. Selphie showed Kairi her orange pouch which contained her money and they set off to go to the cafè.

"Guess what? I met this boy yesterday at the park. He's really cute and sweet. I think he likes me," Selphie wiggled her eyebrows and laughed. They were in the middle of town and not far from the Cafè. As usual the town was full of life. People were always smiling in this town. It seemed as if nothing could bring them down. Which was good. Kairi couldn't stand it when people were under the weather. She just wanted to give them a piece of a rainbow or some Pixie dust so the sparkles would make them seem at lest a bit more happy.

"What's his name? Do I know him?" Kairi was freaking out! Selphie hadn't had a boyfriend. Of course she had like some of our guy friends like Roxas and Riku but that never lasted long. Maybe finally she could have a boyfriend. Hopefully they wouldn't be mean or Kairi and Naminè had some butt kicking to do!

"His name is Dexion. He's new to town! Maybe we'll end up dating! That would be so cool!" they walked into the cafè. The tile was brown and the chairs and tables were wooden. The counter in front of them was also made of wood but through a glass window in the side you could she all their amazing treats. The smell of coffee, pastries, muffins and cakes hit them like a wall. People were almost in every seat but at lest the line wasn't to long.

"Heck yeah! I think you need a boy in your life regardless of what your parents say," Kairi said smiling and giggling a little. Parents have always been an issue when it comes to boys in Selphie's life. They just didn't understand that Selphie wasn't a bad kid. Of course right after Kairi said this Selphie had a weapon ready for use. Sora.

"Well I think you and Sora should date," an almost evil grin came across her face. Kairi went right into her defense mode.

"What!" everyone in the cafè was staring at Kairi. She blushed and looked down. "I don't..." Kairi looked up. "I don't like him like that..." still Kairi was blushing as she said this. But kairi new deep down inside that wasn't so and Selphie looked very unconvinced.

"No way. It's totally obvious you guys like each other!" Selphie laughed when she saw the way Kairi turned even redder.

"Yeah Selphie's right it's totally obvious," a voice said from behind them. It was a cheerful female voice. Kairi knew who it was before she turned around.

"Naminè!" both the girls shouted at the same time and Naminè gave Selphie a hug. The she gave Kairi a hug. Automatically Naminè's head went to kairi's boobs.

"Still better than tampec as is always! Naminè laughed and Kairi blushed slightly. She pulled away from her boobs and smiled. "So what are you guys doing here?"

"Well" Kairi said, "We were going to ask you the very same thing. We came here to eat," the smell of the coffee, pastries, muffins and cakes made Kairi's stomach grumble. Then something hit her. The boys weren't there. Naminè got a sad look in her eyes and her smile was gone.

"I'm hungry and I didn't want to be home," Naminè's face lit up with a fake smile and happiness. "But now that we are here we should get something to eat and go to the island! The boys will meet us there they went with Sora," a real smile came back to Naminè's face. Kairi could tell something was off but she didn't want to pry.

So they got their food. Kairi got a cupcake(even though it didn't really count as a breakfast food), Selphie got a Cinnamon roll and Naminè got a chocolate chip muffin. All their favorites. Off they went to the island. Ready for another amazing day. A day that would end. A day that would be replaced with another. But everything would be out of order.
The beach on the island was warm. A breeze of fresh salty air cooled their skin. The sand was almost white. Through the water you could see the fish. On trees were paopu fruits. Just like on the silver chain in Kairi's pocket. There was not a cloud in the sky. A perfect day. In a way Kairi wished this day could last forever. They all sat down on the beach watching the ocean.

"I'm going to the tree house. I need to go get something. I'll be back real fast," she said as she headed off to the tree house. There was silence for a while. Kairi wanted to ask Selphie what she thought was wrong with Naminè but she couldn't get out the words. Maybe she should just ask Namine her self later. But at the same time Kairi didn't want to pry and make her friend upset. A voice interrupted her thoughts.

"Kairi!" Kairi jumped up fast. She knew that voice anywhere. It was Sora.

"Sora!" she ran across the beach to Sora. Almost knocking down Sora she jumped into his arms. Even though Kairi had talked to him last night she still missed Sora's hugs. Selphie's voice ran through Kairi's head. well I think you and Sora should date. It's totally obvious you guys like each other! Kairi blushed so she held onto Sora longer so he couldn't tell. After she was done blushing she let go of him and smiled sweetly.

"Okay lovebirds where's Naminè?" Roxas laughed as Kairi and Sora blushed by his comment about being lovebirds. "You didn't let her walk off and get lost did you Kairi?"

"Hey! Is that some blond joke!" Naminè's voice was that angry and playful voice she got when people made jokes about her. The jokes never bothered her and everyone knew it. But Roxas loved to have Naminè chase him. And Namine did. Then Riku came into the chase and tackled Roxas. They rustled for a while. Selphie was talking to Sora about the boy she met. And Kairi tired to break up the boys. Days like these were the best.

"Hey Kairi! Eat the half of the paopu fruit!" Naminè shoved it in Kairi's face.

"Why?"

"Just do it!" Naminè an almost evil grin. But Kairi did it anyway. She ate the whole thing. "Yeah! By the way Sora ate the other half,"Naminè giggled and ran away behind Sora. Kairi's face turned bright red.

"Naminè!!" her shout made some seagulls fly away. Naminè was fast but Kairi had Roxas on her side. Roxas tackled Naminè and Kairi laughed while they rustled. They always rustled with each other. Flirting. but they never date. Weird how they like each other and you can tell but never date. Well guess I can't say much myself. Wait! What am I saying? Me and Sora don't like each other like that... But Kairi sounded unconvinced even to herself.
The day was coming to an end. The sun sinking sending it's orange, pink, purple, and yellow across the sky. All of them sat on there on the beach watching the sun go down. Selphie sat on the far right, then Sora, Kairi, Naminè, Roxas, and on the left Riku.

"Hey guys?" every looked at Naminè. "I know this isn't the best time but I'm moving..." she looked down at her hands. Everyone was quiet. No one knew what to say. What else was there to say? Kairi knew. She always did.

"what!" there were tears in her eyes. They were starting to fall. "No! You can't! We were to go to high school together. All of us forever together..." as much as she tried the tears spilled over falling in a rush. Naminè ran to Kairi and gave her a hug.

"I know Kairi. I was so mad when they told me! I wanted to be here with you guys forever. You all are my family..." her voice started to crack. She would not cry. Not in front of them. "It's only for a while. I'll be back I promise 'k? But I will be leaving tomorrow at noon..." her voice trailed off. There was silence for a long time. It felt as if your thoughts were forbidden. Then they all gave each other a hug. The whole way home was in silence.
As twilight was covering the town Kairi thought. How could this happen? Today was to be a perfect day. Everyone together. Once on a bridge she stopped and looked into the water. Like a painting. A water color painting. The colors that stretched across the sky were reflected in the water. It almost looked like a rainbow of pastels flowing under the bridge. The island was never to have a memory like... Kairi pulled the paopu fruit neckless out from her pocket and held it in her hand as a cool breeze rustle her hair. A thought popped into her head. Naminè should have this. To remind her of home. Kairi stayed there until nightfall. Watching the moon in the waters reflection. The town started to quiet and the world seemed almost peaceful.

"Hey Kairi whatcha doing?" a playful voice said. That voice she knew very well. Without even turning around she responded.

"Hey Axel. I'm just thinking. Did you know Naminè is moving away?" sadness reached Kairi's eyes and she turned to see Axel. Axel looked down. A sad expression was on his face.

"I know. She told me via text. Like always. I'm gana miss that girl," he looked at the moon like he was searching for something. "We had so many amazing times walking to the stores at night," the spiky red haired teen seemed lost in his memories.

"Axel! Naminè can't just leave us!" Kairi screamed with tears in her eyes. She jumped into Axel's arms. He embrassed her. It was so sad to see Kairi like this. She hardly ever got like this.

"I know Naminè. But she'll come back. Trust me on this," pulling away from her a smirk crossed his lips. "Cheer up! At lest you have Naminè's blessing to marry Sora," he laughed. Kairi blushed and stumbled over her words.

"I...uh...no...that's..." the words wouldn't come out. Axel laughed again and pulled Kairi farther into town. They walked in the night laughing and teasing each other. Until finally they got to Kairi's house. At lest Axel made her feel better. Still Kairi would miss Naminè. She said she would come back though so maybe Kairi should have some faith.
