Authors Note: Finally I got chapter two done! Ha well if you all have noticed, this story has a more different feel than my other story, The Bloodstained Sands Remind Me it's more of a tragedy. This one is more comedic and such, speaking of which, there is a line in here about soup that makes me crack up because of how retarded it is... haha read on to get what I mean. But enjoy, and Chapter 3 may take at least a week to do, with school coming up and me needing to finish chapter 16 of my other story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Mushroom Soup.
"Take care of Kairi while I'm gone, okay?" His brother winked, and gave one last look at Kairi before sitting down in the car, and driving away.
"So where is he going exactly? He never did tell me." Kairi asked, looking over at Roxas.
"Some summer camp. Traverse Camp of Music and Art or something." Roxas mumbled, pulling his arms behind his head.
"Hey! That's where Naminé is going for extra drawing expirience!"
'Naminé is going too? Why didn't she bother to tell me this? She has been quite distant lately...' He was knocked out of his thoughts by Kairi, who had begun yanking on his arm.
"Come on! A week without our boyfriend and girlfriend! We have got to make this week count Roxxie!" Kairi pulled on his arm harder, and began to drag him down to the beach, and he knew then and there, that this week was going to be the best week of summer he'd had in a long time.

Day One
Roxas awoke to the sound of someone throwing a very large stone through his window, and the crashing of the glass hitting his floor. As he sat up and looked to his window, he heard someone calling his name from below it.
"Roxas! Roxas!" It was Kairi.
He stepped towards the window and stared down at her, a look of total blankness across his face. She smiled up at him and waved.
"Come on! We've got a superific fun-filled day to accomplish!" She said cheerily.
"Why must she wake me at seven in the morning, throw a rock through my window, and then still be so cheerful?" Roxas mumbled to himself.
"Sleepy head, wake up! We have to go down to the arcade... I want to play my game before anyone else gets it!"
Rolling his eyes, he yelled back, "I'll be down in a few minutes, let me get dressed."
He stepped away from the window, and pulled a shirt and shorts from his dresser, then began to change. By the time he had finished getting ready, it had been about a half of an hour. When he had gotten outside to Kairi, she glared at him with the deathlook he'd seen her give Sora so many times.
"Think you took long enough?" She mumbled, folding her arms across her chest.
He smiled and wrapped her up into a big hug, shocking her slightly.
"Rox-Roxas?" She stumbled over her words as he let her go. "What w-was that f-for?"
He winked and turned away. "I can't give my best friend a hug?"
She smiled and wrapped her arm around his. "No problem at all, bud."

Kairi didn't get to go down to the arcade, but Roxas took her for some Mint Mocha ice cream, and she was content with herself as they sat in the parlor eating it.
"This ice cream is so tasty!" She giggled, shoving another spoonful of it into her mouth.
Roxas smiled as he watched her shove the ice cream down, and he let his mind wander off again.
'I never have gotten this much time with Kairi before. It's fun to be with her... a whole week of her without worrying about what Sora thinks... But is it really okay for me to be here with her? I mean I like her... but it's only a crush right?'
"Roxas?" He shook his head and looked over at her.
"Huh? Did I zone out?" He smiled lightly.
"So I came up with a schedule for the week. Listen, today is free day, just kind of wandering around doing whatever we want too, Tuesday is basketball with Tidus, Hayner, Olette, and Selphie, Wednesday is visiting Destiny Islands with everyone, Thursday is movie night, Friday is beach day, and Saturday is the community dance that we have to go too!" Kairi said as she wrote it down for him.
"So we're with the gang too? Cool. I don't hang with them much anymore, so this should be fun." He looked at Saturday nights activity and he blushed. "Dance? As in us? Wouldn't that be akward?"
"Possibly. But who cares? It's for fun! Plus we're going as friends." She giggled and shoved another spoonful of ice cream into her mouth. "So, what do you want to do today?"
"Hmm, free day? I say I take a nap." He pulled his arms behind his head and began to snore jokingly.
Kairi aimed her spoonful of ice cream at his face and flung.
Mint mocha ice cream splattered into Roxas's face and they both cracked up laughing.
"Oh that's it Kairi, it's on." Suddenley, ice cream was flying back and forth between them, splattering the wall, the floor, the ceiling, and everything else around them.
"KAIRI! ROXAS!" Voice's bellowed from beside them, and they stopped flinging as they looked into the angry eye's of Riku and Wakka, the two who ran the shop. "GET OUT OF HERE!"
"Oh come on Riku, we were just playing around..." Kairi mumbled, but Roxas realized they weren't listening.
Riku glared down at them and pointed a finger accusingley at Kairi. "I don't care if you were "playing around" or not! You know damn well if the boss sees this mess, Wakka and I will both be fired, and you'll be banned for life from this ice cream parlor!"
"Okay, jeeze we'll help clean this up, and then we'll leave." Kairi smiled slyly. "And then I promise I'll control Roxas's sleeping habits so that I won't get the urge to chuck ice cream at his face."
Riku grumbled something and turned to walk away, but as soon as he did, a spoonful of ice cream from the ceiling plopped on top of his head.
"Aww, Riku now you're going to have to go back into the break room and re-apply hair gel to that delicate hair of yours." Kairi teased. "Oh and Wakka, make sure you give him a facial afterwords, or else his skin will get crinkly."
Kairi and Roxas kept laughing all the way through their cleaning of the shoppe.
When they had finally finished and left, it was about 3:00 p.m. and they still had another six or seven hours of fun-filledness to go.
"So Roxas, what do you want to do the rest of today?" Kairi asked as they walked down towards the beach.
"I think I know what to do," He grabbed her arm, and took her to the boat rentals, and after getting a small motorboat, they headed across the ocean.
"We're going to Destiny Islands? There isn't much to do their you know... just swim-" Kairi muttered.
"Can't we just talk? Without anyone interupting or anything? Destiny Islands seemed the quietest place to go." Roxas pushed a hand through his spiked blond hair and sighed lightly. "I really never get to talk to you much anymore. Sora gets so jealous over us hanging out that I finally gave up."
Kairi arched her back into the seat she was sitting in and giggled lightly. "He knows we have no romantic feelings towards each other. We've been bestest buds since before he asked me out."
"Yeah," Roxas sighed. He was never going anywhere with anything he said.
"So what are we going to talk about? Do you want to know about Sora and I's love life?" She coughed and winked over at him.
"Believe me, I really don't need to know what goes on between my best friend and brother." He fake gagged and she laughed lightly.
"Roxas, do you love Naminé?" Kairi had spoken so quickly, the question caught him off guard.
"Well, we haven't been together long enough for me to determine that." He mumbled, blushing slightly. "What about Sora? Do you love him?"
"Yes, but sometimes I think we'd be better apart. We fight all the time, and he's so jealous of everyone... even his own brother."
"But a relashionship is supposed to be kind of chunky, you know, like if you don't put enough water in mushroom soup, it's lumpy, but once you mix it around in your bowl for a few minutes, everything gets smoother and easier to eat." Kairi stared over at Roxas, her eyebrow raised in annoyance.
"Did you just compare me and Sora's relashionship to a bowl of chunky soup?"
Roxas looked around for a moment then nodded. "Yeah, I think I did."
The rest of the boat ride, they kept trying to come up with dumber things they could put into their conversation.
When they reached the island, (at the slow speed Roxas decided to go), it was about 6:00 p.m. and it was getting darker as they set out their blanket to sit on the beach-side. Roxas ripped his shirt over his head, and ran towards the water in a hurry, then swam out to where it was just above his belly button. Kairi was amazed by how in shape he was, with his six-pack abs, unlike Sora's four-pack. She giggled as he dived under the water, bubbles showing where he was going to appear next.
"Kairi Hisato get your butt down here!" He yelled when he came up for air.
She contemplated for a moment whether to follow, then pulled her shirt over her head, and her shorts down, revealing her polka dot bikini. It was light pink, with white dots all over it, and a bow was tied in the middle of the bottoms, giving it an even more girlish touch.
"You came prepared I see," Roxas muttered as he watched her walk into the water.
"Well duh. Destiny Islands visiting always includes swimming." She dived under the water and watched the little bit of sun making the fish around her glow.
Everything was the way she remembered it when she and Sora used to swim here. The truth was, Sora hadn't taken her here swimming in at least a year, and she missed it here, with the quietness and serene beauty. As she watched, Roxas appeared before her, smiling lightly, his spiked hair moving with the waves crashing above them. She held out her hand to him and he took, then they swam to the surface for air.
"It's beautiful out here." Roxas whispered looking over at Kairi.
Her hair was slightly covering her left eye, and the rest cascaded down her back to just below her shoulders. She wasn't looking at him, but out at the ocean, and he could tell her eyes were full of a joy and excitement he hadn't seen in such a long time...
"Roxas? What are you staring at?" Kairi asked all of a sudden, knocking Roxas back into reality.
"Oh, nothing."
They continued to swim for another few hours, or at least an hour, because Kairi realized she was getting wrinkly fingers and toes... so she dragged Roxas out of the water with her. They headed back across the ocean in their little boat once more so they could go home to bed.
They soon arrived at Kairi's house and were standing in front of her front door talking quietly.
"Roxas you better be energized for tomorrow! We have basketball to play, so you best be pumped." She flexed her scrawny arms and he laughed. "Hey! What's so funny!"
"You. You have no muscle Kairi. So I don't see what there is to flex." Roxas began to laugh and Kairi punched his arm lightly.
"Well I better go inside. I'll see you tomorrow then. I promise this time I'll only wake you up at 8:00 in the morning." She patted his head and walked in the door, leaving Roxas to take in what she had said.
"But that's still too early..." He grumbled as he stepped off the porch.
But he couldn't help but crack a smile as he watched her peek through the curtains of the front room, as she watched him walk down the street towards his house so he could finally get some rest from his long day.
